I have a hard time investing in a story with these tags at the start because I need a happy ending.

That said, this intro is really interesting.

This is great. Super unique twist.

Interesting. This is probably the first vampire story (yuri or otherwise) I read in which the main couple are both vampires. The usual setup is a vampire and a human.

Several webcomics, webtoons, and novels do the vampire couple thing, but yeah it is a bit less common in manga.

First manga that comes to mind where both leads are vampires is one of Mira's series, lol.

There can never be enough vampire Yuri, though I admit I do slightly prefer it when only one of them is a vampire.

it's finished?
owh,i really like them

I don't think so. This author just puts 'fin' at the end of each chapter.

Same thing happens for Her Kiss - Infectious Lust.

I really like this, despite the unhealthy signs in their relationship. The mistakes they are making are very believable, especially at their age. It's pretty typical for somebody who drops the word "Love" first to start throwing it around more and more often to try to fish for a reaction. It's equally understandable for the other person to act cold to this (especially only via text), if they have low self-esteem.

Though honestly both of them have pretty serious self-esteem issues, maybe that's what makes their relationship somewhat workable despite how dysfunctional they can be.

It's like it ended 4 or 5 times in the last chapter. Very weird.

Like:
Planning to not accept how they couldn't follow each other seemed like a kind of pledge to change things in the real world to make things work out
Wanting to just be souls
Wanting to never leave Fairy Land
Showing them back at the start of the loop at the end

Their friends finding the machine missing (or never existed) despite finding their clothes and them never coming home plus some of the themes here implies another yet another ending: suicide. But that's only if you assume everything that happened is figurative and that no magic and sci-fi stuff existed.

It's like a grab bag of endings.

All that and we still dont know what Hiragis problem is

...the general gist of it really should be fairly obvious by this point. But I'd say the lower right frame here encapsulates an important part of it.

A broken feeling of superiority over her sister is unlikely to be the whole story

"The one who's not Tsubaki" is the key phrase there.

Even at that point she is being treated Better than Tsubaki was when she wasnt performing

Tsubaki was "the sister"
Hiragii later was "the still very smart sister"

And if Hiragii hates Tsubaki for not being her inferior then thats just makes her Terrible, which isnt something that would fit this story

It is probably something really dumb in order to redeem her character. Like... Hiragii lost her purpose in life when Tsubaki wasn't as dependent on her anymore and now she hates herself for being inferior and bringing Tsubaki down, so she decides to leave Tsubaki's side for her own good so that Tsubaki isn't associated with such a failure or something.

That's the sort of tortured rationale you need in a manga to appear as though you are a bad person.

Interesting. Second series from this author with leads with names like this (Snow and Sunflower before). Hopefully this one gets finished. I like it so far!

joined Jan 3, 2020

Really unique and distinct premise with likeable characters! Very excited to see where this goes.

joined Jan 3, 2020

I also have a hard time identifying the characters. Is this a different minor couple or is this how this the earlier years of the couple that gets married in chapter 3? My memory is usually pretty good, but I find myself forgetting character names a lot here.

This was fantastic; a wholesome Yuri, ideal for heart happiness.

It's a complicated situation. I think Nanase and Yuni should break up because they want very different things from a relationship right now. Nanase wants a girlfriend who can stay out of her way and is okay with playing second to the many things reality throws at high schoolers. Yuni is after a girlfriend who is her entire world and vice versa.

Fuuko is... something else. Maybe her intervention is actually helpful in the long run because Nanase and Yuni's relationship does seem like it's going to fall apart at some point. I still can't approve of her methods though. Cheating is wrong (unless they're cheating on a guy because my bias for Yuri is strong enough to bend my morality).

joined Jan 3, 2020

I tuned out after this somehow offended my delicate moral sensibilities in chapter 1 (lol), but I'm glad I picked it back up. It is really interesting if nothing else.

I was totally confused this whole chapter, but there's Yuri.

This looks really great. I like the bluntness of the girl pursuing the school nurse (also why is it always the nurse, lol).

You know it's gonna be good when there's princess carrying 30 seconds in.

Very true.

It's been a weird story. The crying thing is hard for me to relate to, but I've pushed through on heavy Yuri vibes and the side couple.

And then this type of ending. Two of the manga I follow ended this week (Sora & Haena is the other one). One had two timeskips and summed up the entire plot ambiguously with lots of dangling threads in one chapter. The other was this. Yuri ending before the Yuri part is queerbaiting (intentional or not).

Some day, I envision a world where 90% of Yuri endings aren't open, rushed, timeskip-heavy messes.

If we can get there within my lifetime, I think I'll be happy.

Honestly this is my favorite thing in all Yuri.

Took me several times reading this to figure out the ending. The girl 'died' (becoming flowers), and then the teacher began to turn into flowers too after repeatedly coming back there after the girl confessed (and subsequently died, I guess). Then the teacher became flowers fully as well. It then shows the girl in some other space (presumably the afterlife) crying and ends with an unknown person (presumably the teacher, who just arrived) putting her hand on the girl's shoulder.

Weird but touching.

Still, if heartfelt wishes could literally manifest, I would be okay with that, at least for me. I always word all of mine pretty carefully... Just in case, lol.

I'm completely fucking wasted rn. Anyone care to explain to me why's blond girl bad to me? She seems kinda fine just in love with a gold digger

She was pretty pushy with a (very) drunk girl who she knew probably didn't feel the same way about girls.

I mean the story doesn't tell us the details on the lack of consent, but I think it counts. She was so drunk she called the wrong person and couldn't even walk properly without support.

But yeah, Ayaka is supposed to be the 'bad person' here.

Every chapter of this manga really tests my tolerance for cringe, but I think that is an intended effect lol

To be clear, I really like this manga, even if it destroys me with secondhand embarrassment

Yeah, I can't take this series seriously as a romance, and I don't have any real reference for being that obsessed over anime (and honestly... I've never really liked fanfiction in general - I like manga that's original fiction).

Despite all that, I still read it and find this funny. The art style is great, and the characters are so over the top that I can still laugh, even though I can't relate strongly to the situations or the characters' passion for fanfic doujin.
