This needs a "wtf am i reading tag."

Eli's appearance made me lol. I'm all for Umi on crack, but I think she was WAY too OOC for me to enjoy it.

Man I knew I was being too optimistic to expect a proper follow up to chapter 22.

First I laughingly "what the fuck"ed at the title, then I horrifyingly "what the fuck"ed at the end.

There is too much serious discussion in here for a manga with the tag "Gay for Pay", seriously...

Just because it's a light-hearted gag manga doesn't mean that we can't healthily and respectfully discuss topics or issues raised from it...What's the fun in having a discussion forum if it's just going to be full of squeeing? (although there's nothing wrong with squeeing). I've seen this sentiment in a lot of the discussion boards here and it really discourages others from participating in the forums and voicing their thoughts. =/

Oh... so that is what the "very large size gap" tag means.

My thoughts exactly. I read too fast and thought it said "very large age gap." Then when reading, I had to do a double take of the tags and had an "ooooh" moment.

Omg. I only read 7 pages so far, but it's already going on my favorites. Happy Birthday Nico and thanks for the 5 gems! I totally do the whole calculation stuff too...it's really sad... 3000 more points until event Honoka for me! (so about 1000 points a day...might have to end up using a love gem though..)

Edit: AND A-rise cameo. Yup definitely deserves a spot on my favorites list <3

Although it would be nice for her to eventually end up with Saori, I actually would prefer if Yurika stayed heterosexual.

maybe my Yuri goggles are on too tight, but Yurika is definitely not heterosexual, but she may be bisexual. plus, nowhere in the earlier chapters was it established that Yurika was heterosexual.

You might want to loose the straps a little bit. Yurika didn't want to be gigolette, she wanted to marry some guy and live as a wife, but she doesn't seem to have the charm to attract guys for some reason. One of the earliest chapters has her go into a mixer in order to try and marry a student in a college of medicine (the lesbian sex happening right after was mostly out of yurika's frustration over being unable to catch any man, plus the invitation from the "straigtht girl" who was with her).
Yurika's character is in some kind of Limbo after being admitted into the dorms. First there was no doubt she was heterosexual, now I'm not sure. She's far more calm than she was before and has learned how to actively use her charm, but that's just that she no longer hates it as much as she did in the first chapters; she doesn't love doing it either, and its obvious that women for her are mere resources. Certainly she could be bisexual, but Japanese artists have not gave me much examples of them thinking of bisexuality as a possible third option.

I wasn't really clear with my first statement because bisexuality definitely did occur to me, but that's only if she shows genuine attraction to a girl. To me Yurika is heterosexual (as she is now), or bisexual (if she ends up in a romantic relationship with a female). It's pretty implied in the beginning that she is straight for reasons quoted above. I honestly don't think Yurika enjoys having sex with all these women and just sees it as a job. She may be enjoying it subconsciously, but I've yet to see it made obvious to the reader.

But anyway yeah this latest chapter. It's been a while since this series had that great of a chapter. Plenty of laughs from me. XD

If is anything like this team previous work (the fantastic 'My Balls') it will have a really heartwarming and cute ending.

Ah I completely forgot about this fact. I have faith it will have a satisfying ending now (regardless of it is yuri or het or neither) ^-^

Hahh. Like what other people stated, I was also getting turned off by how fast Yurika just embraced her Gigaloette ways, since I thought what was great about the series was how Yurika was so uncomfortable with it at the beginning. I wished there was a slower transition, but now I just take it in stride and enjoy the absurdity of it. It's just so outrageous that you really can't take it seriously haha. If you're reading this for the typical sweet love story, go elsewhere.

Although it would be nice for her to eventually end up with Saori, I actually would prefer if Yurika stayed heterosexual. I know I'm in the minority here since most people here hate any mention of guys in their yuri, but I really can't see Yurika ending up with a girl because not once has she shown any actual attraction to one. I mean if they can eventually show her having feelings for another girl (possibly Saori), then that's cool, but I really don't want a rushed yuri ending.

I think where people are getting confused is the distinction between sadism and S&M. While sadism is, by definition, taking pleasure at the suffering of others, that is NOT the entire definition of sadism in an S&M relationship. S&M relationships are about mutual respect, and that is clear if you read a manga like The Real Her, where the budding sadist, Yuuka, realizes that she only gets pleasure from giving Moe pain when Moe /wants/ to feel pain (ie. when Moe wants to be yelled at or stepped on), and NOT when she's forcing that pain on Moe when she doesn't want it (ie. when she crushes her mp3 player). On the other side, while Moe is trying to draw out the sadist in Yuuka, she still says all the time that they need to find compromise so they're /both/ happy. Both parties have to be into it in order for it to be a healthy S&M relationship, and I'm glad The Real Her is drawing attention to that.

This manga, however... hoo boy. I think it's safe to call Esumi a sadist, but in the original sense of the word, not the S&M sense. She's constantly bullying and groping and ogling the captain, forcing her to do things and calling her fat, while the captain protests /constantly/. Literally, almost every sentence out of her mouth is trying to refuse her or say no. It's entirely lacking consent. There may be mutual attraction between them, and I'm sure it will grow over time, but just because two people love each other doesn't mean they are magically incapable of being abusive.

If you must call their relationship S&M, you gotta at least admit that it's not healthy. If you enjoy or are turned on by characters like that, that's perfectly fine, since it's just a goofy manga, but please don't try to justify abusive behaviour as "healthy" or "fine", don't tell other people that they shouldn't feel uncomfortable with it, and for the love of Madoka, don't carry that kind of behaviour into your real relationships, unless you are positive that you AND your partner(s) are into it.

Healthy S&M relationships are based on respect, dignity and choice; and Esumi is not letting the captain have /any/ of those.

Amen!

As someone who read the raws, plenty of sweet moments to come.

Sweet, hope the bullying does not overshadow it.

Well, its still going to be a theme for this work, but I also don't really see it as bullying as much as just teasing.

As far as I can see it, MC doesn't mind it one bit. She still wants the "sadist" in the club despite the complaints, and also she is free to just kick her out or leave at any time. Maybe she has a bit of masochist in her, even, and everything just seems consensual enough to me. (It will even be more clear 10 chapters in)

You guys need to light up a bit.

When teasing goes too far, it ends up being bullying. And all those cries of "Stop it you jerk!" don't mean anything? It doesn't look consensual at all to me. Even if she can kick her out any time, she may not have a backbone and doesn't have the courage to kick out her only club member. She also might have a bit of masochist in her, but I still think it's bullying if it brings the captain to tears and she doesn't look like she enjoys it at all.

I understand that in the future chapters, this will probably change and the captain eventually sees through the jerky and horrible treatment and looks at it as a form of affection, but it will always leave a weird taste in my mouth. There just isn't enough mutual respect in this relationship for me to be 100% behind it.

I like the captain and I even laughed reading the first chapter back then but when Sol pointed out that it was bullying, I felt regret, the same kind when you're joking with friends and then making fun of one of them and continue because everyone is laughing but then you realize THAT friend is not laughing... Well, that kind of regretful feeling.

So I went direct to the forum with the second chapter before reading it, to see if there will be more or worse... And it will be and also sweet moments too, I could continue reading it but what Lorisor said was valid, I agree with this:

C)(And the Worst to me) Exists in a world where their mistreatment (Or I should say being forced into the role of M as if there's only S or M) is treated as normal and or is overlooked, and or is because they actually unconsciously love it with NO indication whatsoever.

Yes! That is exactly how it looks like to me. Where it may be "friendly teasing" but it isn't very friendly if the one being teased isn't having fun herself. I also agree with Lorisor. I have nothing against S&M stories (I LOVE The Real Her), but I really don't like it when the Masochist ends up forgiving the Sadist because she loves the S so much that she can forgive the mistreatment, but she never really showed she enjoyed being a masochist. This is seen in Gokujou Drops. That manga still kinda leaves a terrible taste in my mouth even though the two main characters mutually love each other a lot. The happy end doesn't just erase all the previous chapters of forced slavery and mistreatment....

Agh after two chapters, a little too much bullying for my tastes....but I will keep on reading. Hoping to see sweeter moments between them.

You at the second season yet? They start laying it on thick, if you ask me.

They lay it on so thick that it feels out of place and forced...I know it's fanservice since they saw how popular the pairing is, but man I think they need to calm it down a little...(nothing against Nico/Maki personally).

Back on topic of the doujin, this was a great one and as always the ending is great XD. I kinda thought it was creepy/hilarious how it looked like A-Rise was watching them sex it up from the posters lol.
