wish I had someone who would come into my room and shout smartphone addiction at me, then kiss me

Usui Shio has now fully traversed the breadth of sexual identity in yuri with the beginning of this series

omg Konayama Kata yuri!!

This is totally copium but wouldn't it be cool if this indicated that her next serialized work could be trans yuri?

I didn't notice this when reading the webnovel chapter, but is the implication here that Ji Youyan sold a song concept that she got from Jing Xiu??? If so that's insane.

wheres my normie gf who doesnt know about yuri ;-;

wake up babe its time for another moe manga about cute girls eating food and experiencing Yuri Moments

We have truly reached a singularity point where local tourism, sports, food, and yuri subtext all merge into a super-dense black hole

Great insight into Jing Xiu's view of their relationship, and her very understandable misgivings towards Ji Youyan

I personally thought this was an incredible work, it really captures the mundane violence and tragedy of marriage/family under patriarchy and the art style is just gorgeous.

the way this is written definitely seems biographical to me so I'm not sure if there's supposed to be some special moral to it.

And no I don't think we need an armchair historian to describe how this tragic lesbian story is supposed to be some takedown of "le evil red china" either.

What a suave hero

Exchanging tobacco for alcohol lol

you know thinking about it, itou says that shes bad at understanding social cues but shes really good at reading how people feel, while takahashi is really good at understanding social cues but really bad at reading how people feel.

theyre very complimentary to each other.

The imagery of digging past a lifetimes worth of things to please others to finally reconnect with what you yourself like was so poignant, I absolutely love it.

ty for the chapter! If I recall this is right about the end of where the webnovel TL I've been following has got to, so I'm excited to start getting into uncharted territory.

Yea i dunno im not a huge fan of the short-haired girl. I get they were going for the cute kinda possessive but her actively sabotaging her friends social life is too toxic for my taste.

That's the point. The seemingly "normal" best friend being the true landmine girl compared to the girl who dresses in flashy hyper fem outfits

WE'RE BACK LETS GO

We're so back!!!

I'm excited to see how this all shakes out, and how the feisty side couple ends up as, well, a couple lol

This was really nice to read, I loved their relationship

I love this series. Sorawo having a big gay moment over Toriko sucking the blood off her translucent hand is so good. As is her "Awkward" shirt that turns the w into an awkward emoji face.
(Also like the horror is well done and presented even better than I'd imagined based on the novel)

I noticed that the way sorawo reacts to toriko's hand bleeding is very reminiscent of sorawo's reaction to a certain scene at the end of volume 8

honestly I kinda feel like this premise might have too much going on lol. A "relatable self insert with no social skills" bumbling her way into a friend group with a vampire, exorcist, and vampire lover(?) seems kinda overly complex. I'm not sure where she'll fit in comparatively.

Based on the name change I'm wondering if she actually got in under another girl's application, due to her own application being rejected or some other circumstance for the nun to try and do something underhanded.

Thus, maybe the villainess label is from another girl's answers

This has a very similar premise to A Monster Wants to Eat Me, so doesn't it feel a bit played out to debate if this is yuri or not? Both of these series employ a story mechanic that we could call "cannibalism edging". Even without the cannibalism, a relationship where a girl hangs around another girl who intends to kill her has a pretty clear eroticism to it.

Yeah there's no question about the queerness/yuri in this story (even setting aside the fact that it's tagged as yuri on bookwalker). I can only imagine that some people are perhaps new to the genre and don't have experience reading anything outside of the "school girls looking at the camera and telling us they're lesbians before kissing" genre.

Horror has always been a very queer genre, I mean famous works like dracula and carmilla both come to mind as being some of the original works that we could categorize as "modern" queer literature. The intimacy of stuff like cannibalism or taking on someone else's body and identity is all very well established in the realm of queer and sapphic horror.

They're both bringing out the worst in each other right now, it's really incredible. I wonder how far things will fall before they start to (hopefully) become better to/for each other.

This one shot went in a very different direction compared to the comedic beats of wanna sip/i love you. Nmi is definitely a new mangaka to look out for, they've got a great sense for story composition and pacing and have shown with this one shot that they can handle different emotional beats with ease.

Not very often we get to see an honest look at coming of age sexuality and awkwardness in a tasteful way like this.
