Then she comes back 15 years later with a crush on the nice lady who read her books every day.
Or at least, that's what manga has taught me will happen next.

@ BoobTwinkler Pretty sure its just refering to her leaning to one side to sleep on the girls shoulder- and the girl only wanting her to lean to that side not the other way as we saw. Its wordplay as you said- making us think its refering to a 1 sided relationship but its not at all imo- just the leaning lol.

That actually could be right, come to think of it. oO

.....How is this one sided? Thank you for the chapter.

I think it's wordplay on the whole "I want her to lean only to the side I'm on when she's sleeping" and technically, the JK's crush is one-sided from her POV. She sees this pretty OL lady on her morning train and assumes she probably wouldn't consider a JK as a romantic interest, unaware that she could likely be nudged into it.

I had meant to say something about the others too but got distracted by someone talking to me. My point overall, however, was that everyone needs to be civil and if your post can be unintentionally construed as not civil then you need to be more careful about how you make your posts.

I would actually like to hear what you have to say about my posts, as I was intentionally trying to be civil and clinical about it. If I handled it poorly, I'd like to know what I should have done instead.

I don't get why you two are mansplaining in a Yuri forum but I'm glad a lot of people here were able to safely express their surprise at the manga, and at least one person got my joke about the author. Enough said.

If you were just joking then I retract my comment, though I'd caution you to try and make it more obvious when the joke is otherwise easy to read as just throwing a rogue insult at the writer for no reason.
Not saying you did something wrong, I just mean you might get yourself banned because of a misunderstanding and nobody wants that.

(Also, I googled "mansplaining" and I truly don't understand where you see that gender angle in all this, so please elaborate if I missed something here.)

"Mansplaining; the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing."

@ I didnt attack the author- OR you- meerly defended someone elses right slag the author off for writing a story they though sucked for whatever reason.. Exactly like how you slagged them off for writing something you thought sucked.. Feel free to attack me if thats your thing.

Personally i'd rather say a story sucked if it did than whoever wrote it but thats me.

Except that user did not simply say that they thought the story sucked.
They passive-aggressively snarked that the story is of such quality that the author must be an idiot; without prompting or a point to make.

That is not someone "giving their opinion", that is making a claim about the author based on faulty logic.

"I heard this story from a friend-"
"LIE! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS!"

...OUCH.

From reading this, my IQ is now as low as the author's

No need to talk crap on the author* like that.

Hold up, girls can fly?

be a girl with a weiner, keep it AND fly

As a pansexual, hard disagree! <:D

mildly yandere gf just wants you to stay safe

Kind of a reverse yandere?

A yandere is really just someone obsessed with a person to an extreme (beyond reason) extent, so this is technically still a yandere. (Or maybe not, since the protag is suicidal and all, the "yandere's" forceful behaviour isn't necessarily excessive depending on surrounding-but-not-shown context.)

A "reverse" yandere would be like... someone who irrationally doesn't acknowledge that you exist... I think?
...Or would the "reverse" of a yandere be a person who's the target of one?

A yandere is one who obsesses extremely about a person, so the reverse would be one who is being obsessed with?
My brain is doing a hurty.

I guess you're not familiar with Touhou lore. Everyone can fly in Gensokyo.

Doesn't work outside of it though as only the things that people stop believing in exist in Gensokyo.

I figured as much, it's just that the way it's phrased implies directly that the ability to fly is because they're girls and not anything else like the abstract metaphysics of the setting.

"We're girls, (therefor) we can soar through the sky too you know."

"We're girls, we can soar through the sky too you know."

Finally, a dish that's not crazy! Still wouldn't eat it because shrooms, but at least it's not cray-cray like the potato salad with sodding oat meal in it.

"Maturity is knowing when to make your exit with grace"
SHOUTS DISCORD LINKS THEN LEAVES

Me: DEAD. XD

Two things occur to me this chapter.
1. 6-year-old Yuina looks exactly like a not-dead Reiko. Now that I thought about it, Reiko and Yuina look a LOT alike even now. SUS.
2. Aren't shark fin foods horrifically unethical? Isn't that a whole thing, that asian fishers just capture sharks, cut off their fins then throw the poor fuckers back in the ocean to die because they can't swim anymore? Kinda weird for such a light-hearted manga to show in a positive light.

There's a very simple reason why Hiiragi is getting more backlash from the audience than Tsubaki.
• Tsubaki: tries to be nice to her sister out of good will but hurts her on accident.
• Hiiragi: tries to deceive her sister out of malice and hurts her on purpose.

"Deceive: a statement or action to mislead, hide the truth, or promote a belief or idea that is not true. Often for personal gain. A major relational transgression that often leads to feelings of betrayal and distrust."

This times 100.

Tsubaki was innocent the whole time and literally did nothing wrong. Literally the whole conflict between them is on Hiiragi not just talking to her sister about her issues and instead choosing to go out of her way to hurt her incredibly deeply out of mere spite.

She's been incredibly cruel towards her sister for the whole series but I'd been holding off on judging her too harshly until we knew what their deal was, but now that we know what it is; there's just no defense. Hiiragi REALLY IS a gigantic bitch to her sister for no good reason.

Do sort of wish that Evie/Yvonne was a little bit more aware of her feelings, as it almost seems as though the very idea of a same-sex romance has never occurred to her, in spite of how exceptionally honest and forward Elsa has been with her feelings for her.

Tbh, if vanilla otoges have been her only exposure to romance before getting isekai'd, it's not surprising that anything except girl-meets-boy lies beyond her horizon.

Adding to this, since it also seems like the specific otoge she's been Isekai'd to didn't have a yuri route, it's not out of the question to assume she "can't" romance the MC no matter how obvious the signs are. She already worries that she'll be forced to do bad things to the MC when they're just near each other, there's no telling yet what might happen it she tries to go against what the base game was as extensively as going for a route that didn't exist.

What does it mean that Yvonne "unlocked the Tavern CG set"?
She doesn't have a menu or anything so she wouldn't know about it and couldn't look even if she did, and it can't be talking about how far she got in the game before getting Isekai'd since she explicitly didn't get to the border town in her run.

Is there an element of the story that just didn't make it through the transition from novel to manuwa?

I'm beginning to suspect there won't be any recipes I'd enjoy in this story, all of them so far have been either bizarre or gross.

10 bucks says the ghost is just doing the "scare people" thing because she thinks that's what ghosts are supposed to do and Reiko ends up teaching her otherwise, intentionally or not.

Bonus Prediction: She's gonna start out hostile to Reiko for not being a proper ghost but warm up to her because come on, how could you not warm up to that adorable little gremlin?

This is the story of a young woman meeting an outgoing single mother of a special needs child and gradually developing a romantic and a maternal attachment to them, respectively.

Accurate actual description of the series.

Just based on chapter 1 I don't see any yuri and must therefor question the tag. If this was all there was to the story, I'd call it "implied yuri crush" at most. Maybe it becomes explicitly yuri later but with just chapter 1 to judge, it's definitely not.

Also, is there an "Implied Het" tag? The tomboy is only assumed straight by the main character but nothing actually contradicts it and the latter doesn't deny it when it's brought up. She could still be gay or bi but there's nothing showing it so far. Nya put the overall implied Status Quo pretty well, I'd phrase it as "Girl maybe crushing on a tomboy who seems straight."

EDIT: I guess the series' summary makes the yuri crush explicit so that checks out, but the orientation of the tomboy is still implied as hetero with nothing really arguing against it yet.

Hold on, what was the point of changing her hair colour to Reiko's if Hikari just draws Reiko on another page anyways? She could've done that regardless.

I thought for sure the hair was so Hikari could draw just Reiko and pass it off as an amateur attempt at drawing Yuina, but it doesn't end up relevant at all and the real solution is something else entirely.

I was thinking that maybe the shop lady didn't see Reiko as clearly as the two schoolgirls and got scared because all she saw was a vague image, kind of like the difference between Miko and Julia's perceptions in that manga.

How could anyone be afraid of this adorable little cinnamon roll if they could actually see her clearly though? (っ◕‿◕)っ

I dunno guys, I think she may be a masochist.

Those are some real attack-eyebrows.

I love it!
