To be honest, I think those 4 pages could have been put anywhere and it wouldn't feel out of place.

At least at the end of each chapter. Actually would have been funny, if they always ended up in bed no matter what else they currently did ...

Sequel: I met my sister who is also my cousin* on a dating site

And so the cycle continues.

*probably genealogically not accurate

Really? My impression is more like "as long as it has yuri/lots of girls/at least two girls I can ship everything is 10/10". But maybe I'm being too cynical.

I'm fairly sure this series does a "first somethingsomething" every chapter, so I'm not entirely sure what's "worth noting" about this.

Supernatural high school girls I understand, but in what world does a cult hire half a dozen professional killers with automatic guns to kill a Hollywood actress while she's in Japan?!

What's with the fancy camera equipment? Why do I suddenly feel as if I'm living in some backwater country where doctor's actually ... just kinda look inside, maybe using a small mirror?

I'm also surprised they didn't make a video of it. For personal use.

I agree that it's probably going to be about redemption, but it feels more like it's going to be a pain for her to keep the facade in the cafe and the moral will be "be yourself" kind of stuff.

Good point. You are probably right, that is a morale mangas like to propagate.

Such hypocrites, aren't they? School system is entirely about turning students into nicely conforming people, not about fostering individuality. Moreover, it gears them towards being economic successful in society, particularly in Japan, with the additional tone that women are still kind of expected to a "good marriage" as a life goal.

So now we have a heroine who's precisely doing all that. She's essentially the perfect embodiment of the system.

And all of the traits are suddenly portrayed as bad ones.
There's a lesson right there!

last time we got a "yuri-series" MC that wanted to get married to a rich guy while doing yuri things as a facade, she actually ended the series in the same note of wanting a guy, so I have little hope for this one as well.

Well. Since she doesn't care about love from her perspective a rich girl should be fine, too.

But clearly this is going to be about redeeming her, where she learns that love is much more important than money.

Then she marries some poor girl and lives in abject misery the rest of her life before dying early because she can't afford great health care (let's just randomly assume it got privatized in this fictional setting), after years of getting beaten up by her constantly financially stressed waifu, who resorted to alcohol as a form of escapism.

"Liebe Girl's School", what an ambiguous name!

Don't know about the plot so far. On one hand, I kinda like that they play around with that trope of amazing school girls, in that nobody could actually be like that without being fake. On the other hand, I agree that it doesn't make them very likable. Might just be a first chapter thing, with their more redeeming qualities popping up later, who knows.

The question would be why Fennec was anywhere near her doing her business if she didn't want anything to happen. Temptress!

I think my favorite still ongoing one is Miss Sunflower. Slow and steady wins the race.
At some point.
Many years in the future.

Best kissing I've seen in yuri is Kase-san.

Pl~ease. The best kisses are in Transistor Venus. All 136 of them.

It'd be fun if our moe-heroine developed into a cynical neet who complains about the latest patch mucking up the move set of her favorite character or something, with her new best friend being all "what have I done?!" ... well, it'd be kind of like Gabriel Dropout, so maybe one of those is enough ^^;

People love feeling superior way too much. That's never going to go away.

Japan is weird when it comes to LGBT. Homosexuality has been legal since the beginning and its fairly visible in their culture in various ways, which is more than can be said about many Western countries. And we all know what kind of sword fighting many samurai did with their students wink wink

But they have this weird "don't take it seriously" thing going on. A bit of the "don't ask, don't tell" mentally, too, perhaps. Well, at least they started with this partnership certificate thing, so there's certainly movement there.

Frankly, if you look at the global situation those last years for "first world countries" I'd wish politicians would just get "it" over with. It's clear where the wind is blowing, and countries pass laws one after another. Might as well stop delaying, it's not a development that's going to turn around any time soon.

It's cute, but I'm sort of having trouble buying their worshipful reactions. It's somehow easier with Yuricam.

The most important part for getting someone into fighting games is to make sure they have fun. And part of having fun is being able to play a character that one enjoys, no matter how good or bad it is.

True, but at the same time, once you start whatever multiplayer you choose, even if fairly casual, it's super-annoying if you basically can't play your fav since it's one huge handicap. I suppose for a complete beginner it wouldn't matter too much, but I doubt that'd last long.

But it's basically the same for all games. Certain strategies, weapons etc are the most effective, and then you either do what everybody else does, or accept that you are going to lose against players of equal skill.

Gotta love those rough pages. Well. At least no skipped issues.

Oh, summer break. Sigh. I tried calculating when I expected the team final to be over before, but 2018 was clearly too optimistic a estimate.

Really? You sure about her not having pierced ears?

Damn Schrödinger's earrings, only appearing in that last panel ...

Naw. She'd be like "tell me more, I'll turn this into a manga". Also, Tsubomi has no earring (as we all know they're permanent and can't ever be removed without the human dying).

So much time wasted because of a misunderstanding. That's why communication is important! Be very clear on your incestuous intentions - always!

Ah, coworker-chan. What'cha gonna do if you get promoted?! Insufficient foresight by the parents shown here, clearly.

Didn't expect that domestic violence angle, I have to say.

That vaguely came out of nowhere.
ch.1 "I'm gonna rape you." ch.2 "I'm gonna rape you some more." ch.3 "Let's go on a cute date and do cute things."
Mmhm. No, now that I look at it again it makes perfect sense.

It's like a harmless version of Teppuu. Where the girls cooperate and are gay for each other instead of developing a blood-thirsty rivalry while looking down on each other, play a cute beat 'em up instead of actually beating each other up, and the heroine has fun with her amazing talent instead of becoming a twisted cynic due to how easily she gets to be good at everything.

Only if they do a training camp at a local hotel with an open-air bath.
