It's quite interesting how it was definitely bullying from how everyone saw it and how it affected everyone and especially Ruri, but Shizuku genuinely believed all the time she was doing something good, all out of misunderstanding comments made about her and taking pride in what she thought were her positive qualities.

Regardless of what Shizuku thought about it, she did bully Ruri. And it's a shame she ended up running away instead of apologizing and trying to make up for it. Honestly, it's hard to root for her when all she's doing is feeling sorry for herself. That's not very sympathetic.

She's not just feeling sorry for herself, she's been utterly broken by guilt, to the extent of shunning almost any human contact whatsoever and

That's what it means to feel sorry for oneself. She's self-absorbed. She's focusing on her guilt, her issues, and because of that she doesn't realize Ruri was the one who was suffering the most. Rather than looking inwards and feeling sorry for herself, she should try to do something for Ruri who was the real victim here.

Even now, she just wants to apologize just to feel better about herself, to feel less guilty. She shoud be wondering what happened to Ruri all those years instead. What if her shitty attitude ended traumatizing the poor girl? She doesn't even think about that.

Google "feeling sorry for yourself," and the first result is a mental health hotline. Don't be the person that's trying to argue that someone who is torturing themselves to the point of suicidal thoughts should just "stop feeling sorry for themselves." As someone who has and continues to suffer from mental health issues, I find it to be a fucking vile and disgusting way to view the situation. It shows a genuine lack of empathy, and at the end of the day, no amount of "stop feeling sorry for yourself" is going to stop someone from ending their own life.

Holy hell, that was an incredibly well delivered emotional scene. I can't relate to her situation directly, but as someone who suffers from anxiety and worries a lot about every little stupid thing I did when I was younger, and the impression it left on others, I can only imagine how horrible it must feel to be going through this. This hits hard, is what I'm trying to say.

I have no personal experience with coolmic (maybe because they don't translate in Italian), are they that bad?

So far it's been readable. A bit stilted in some places and the way they split it up is really annoying (instead of following the actual chapters it's sold in 10 page 'episodes' but sometimes one of the pages of those episodes is the chapter page that says "episode 2" when you're on episode 4 according to coolmic) but it's like 50 cents for 10 pages so it's cheap.

Overall it's not fantastic but it's at least better than what seven seas did to Next Door Demon Girl

50 cents for 10 pages is over half the price of a paperback copy... for a one time digital read. That's not cheap. It is literally cheaper to buy a copy on kindle, and a t least then you can download it locally and read it whenever you want.

Well this was a great manga while it lasted. I sure hope someone else picks this up. I'll buy a physical version of this, but I'm not buying tickets to read 10 pages at a time.
Edit: Seriously, fuck coolmic. You can't view their site on a desktop browser, only a mobile one, and they aren't even accepting new subscription members at the moment. They're creating a false shortage of the privilege of giving them money.

Another thing. Is is only menstruation blood? Cause like the witch collected it from the two girls too didn't she? And I don't think they were on their period. So I thought she collected like the blood that was shed when she took their virginity but idk

That fits the description too, since "blood can only be taken once from pure girls" or something like that. Yeah, this one definitely has very strong and uncomfortable rapey vibes. Change artsyle to something less moe and it would be even more apparent. It must have been done as a kind of a spoof since it's basically rape/ntr/blackmail in a dumb setting. And I guess prostitution too since the witch sold them off for the nectar. Very uncomfortable.

"Blood can only be taken once from pure girls" isn't even said. It's said that the wand will react to girls on their period, but not to girls who's energy has already been retrieved. Just as well, the energy is call "moondrops"; the moon once believed to be what menstrual cycles where synced to. The symbolism is pretty apparent.

Kept you waiting, huh?

Can we all just agree that Roropull makes the best DiAkko porn?

Poly tag?

How much love potion did she buy? She seems to have a big supply.

I've been thinking the same thing either, let's call the seller "Merchant"

Merchant You know, I'm starting to question what were you doing with this potion.

MC What do you mean?

Merchant You bought it like six times

MC None of your business

Merchant I'm part of it, if someone found out you were doing something bad with this potion, my business gone

MC What? But you're selling me drugs, this love potion?

Merchant I'm a merchant, not black market dealer

MC That doesn't make sense

Merchant It never is

I figured it would go more like this:

Merchant Wadya buyin?

MC Uhh.. I'll just take questionable looking bottle there.

Merchant He he he ha. Thank you.

I'm hoping we might finally get to see some character development for her, going by the latest chapter. Minami has a huge amount of potential given how much hatred she instills in people, and a strong turnaround for her character would be a welcome change.

this made me think about society and stuff

I know what you mean. Now pass me the good stuff.

My love for you is like a truck

I know the line originally comes from the movie Clerks, but I will always think of this.

Aaand dropped. Thanks for the ride, but this is where I get off.

Oh no, you're gonna miss out on the absolutely-gonna-happen het endings that this author is totally known for.

But seriously stick around for some of that sickly-sweet, fluffy, gay shit that Neji is all about.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

I grew up with parents like hers, I remember feeling horrible every time they would hit me and later pull out the "I put a roof over your head" card because it made me feel super guilty and spoiled, which just led to me downplaying all my problems later on. I still love them of course, and things have gotten better over the years, but man, stuff like that does so much more harm to children than it may seem,

Meanwhile Tong Tongs mom is amazing, screw Mr Xie!

A lot of people, myself included, had a childhood like that. I also love them, regardless of their problems. Despite them not doing the best job of raising me, they did a much better job raising my little sister, so I'm very glad that they learned and improved, and really, that's one of the most important things we can do while were here.

seriously tho i loved this series so much. it really was an easy introduction. sign me up. im sold. bring on the poly yuri.

inb4 sequel titled "An In-depth Manual to Advanced Love Triangles (To Get into College!)"

fuck. i want this so bad.

Me too. I'd love a casual poly SoL manga. I don't even care if it's exclusively yuri.

I support this ship and all, but this feels so out of character I can't even get into it.
The doujinshi where Ucchi mouth-vacuums Tomoko's bodily fluids feels more in character than this.

If you enjoy romances with non-standard couple dynamics, and especially ones with very shy and emotional male leads, then I recommend Miageru to Kimi wa. It's a wonderful little reversal of the typical shoujo manga couple dynamic, and the two leads are absolutely adorable together.

het? why tastubon.... why? such a waste...

You may not mean much by that comment, but Tatsubon can make whatever he wants, and to insinuate that he's wasting his time doing so is very disrespectful.

Lmao that credits page is too much.

Well this was just lovely. Personally even though I'm a germaphobe, I think finger in mouth stuff in fiction is pretty hot. A strange contradiction I suppose.

Jeeeeesus CHRIST. Tomboy poly threesome. That's it. We can no longer improve as a species. It's time to PACK IT UP.

Needs a few tattoos. Otherwise I agree.

Throw in some scars for good measure.

STOP IT. My heart can only get so erect!

If your BDSM doujin doesn't end with aftercare then I don't want it. Gently praising the sub is the sweetest thing ever.
I was so put off by BDSM for the longest time. Then I learned about aftercare, which helped me discover my affinity for gentle femdom. All in all it's given me a much greater respect for BDSM as a result.
