Emily needs to appear again sometimes, so fanartists can draw her in something other than that ugly Christmas sweater.

All these generic cute-girls-doing-cute-things series just feel the same to me, there's nothing here that stands out at all, and none of the girls have much of a personality to speak of.

Do you think she actually needs to kiss the mirror to make it work, or is that just something the mirror says to women to get some action?

Yeah, it was nice that the dad seems to have nothing but his daughter's safety in mind, and also believes that she actually has powers and isn't just crazy. It's way too easy to just make parents in these kind of stories just evil antagonists, but he's being very reasonable.
And it seems like he never actually implied that the ayakashi would be dangerous or killed people, that was all Mahiro projecting. It just seems like he's worried that his daughter will stop interacting with humans.
Which again is a reasonable concern, because that's exactly what happened until just a couple of weeks ago.
And yeah, the constant unintentional flirting that never goes anywhere can be pretty frustrating, but that's the bread and butter of subtext manga. The only girls who don't come off as closeted lesbians are the fox gods and Kii, who is just a kid.

Smooth asf

The "oops, I spilled your tea, you have to get naked now" was a happy accident, but "oops, I somehow forgot to give you a place to sleep on our sleepover, looks like we have no other choice but to sleep together" was clearly a calculated move.

I'm having trouble seeing the pair here as anything but Sayuri and Yoriko.

If this was them, the senpai would've stripped naked immediately after getting wet, have her own bed flown in by helicopter and slept upside down, or something weird like that.

Awkward, flustered yuri with a happy ending (in both meanings of the word, in this case) is my fetish.

I liked the part when they yelled a lot.

Yeah, the fact that there's nearly always three or four jokes in every strip is what really creates the sense of speed and high energy that makes this series so great.

Also the teacher is the best. I have a feeling that if they told her what was going on with all the demons and demon hunters, she still wouldn't care.

Okay, Yukime has now officially gone from "slightly yuri-curious" to "full homo", and I love it.

Also I love how Mahoro is such a mom to everyone else. And a good one, too.

/me reads comments and sighs. There's always one...Oh well

Yeah, how dare someone express their own personal opinion, and say terrible, awful things like that this isn't quite as good as the artist usually is (which is definitely true, I agree with that), and that this would be better if it was expanded upon. That's basically like being Hitler.

Seriously though, you're being a silly jerk, Morter.

Wakasa is more of a sexual predator than a reliable friend, she's made that pretty clear before.

She can't betray her nature as a perv.

On one hand, I love these two knuckleheads, and get that a lot of the comedy comes from the awkward sexual tension. On the other hand, it's kinda ridiculous (even by this manga's high standards) that their relationship never gets anywhere, especially when Sayuri has literally told Yoriko that she's attracted to girls, at least in one timeline. I love their shenanigans, but a part of me just want to see these two weirdos as a couple.

I do love that no matter the timeline, Yoriko is always filthy rich and has a ninja maid. It's an universal constant in all dimensions.

Didn't really feel like a love triangle or NTR to me, more like a "girl is upset that her mom's got a new girlfriend and things are changing" situation.
Kanon's and Mimi's relationship came off as much more familial than romantic, basically like a parent and a child, which I think is the idea.

It also couldn't be any clearer that Kanon is talking about getting Mimi's permission to confess to Chiyako, they don't leave that up for interpretation.

Adorable little story, gave me warm, fuzzy feelings. You also don't get a lot of yuri from the perspective of a childlike third party like this, it's an interesting change of pace.

This series is gayer than a lot of series that are marketed as yuri, so it's about time it got the subtext tag.

Although I hope the Yukionna gets some time in the spotlight, she doesn't get nearly as much screen time as the other girls, and comes off as a bit flat as a result.

A female teacher drooling over her female student's naked bodies is plenty yuri, I think.

Also hooray for both glasses and freckles, I hope she'll show up again (she probably won't).
