Sorry I can't come to your girlfriend's birthday party because I have to eat dorm dinners! Girl what are your priorities?

She doesn't know does she? So as far as she knows Kase is just a friend of a friend.

Ah I might have misremembered. Still go eat dinner with your friends, don't be some dorm cafeteria gremlin every night of the week :P

Wait wait, Yamada’s best friend from childhood doesn’t know that she’s dating Kase? Or are we talking about another friend that Yamada has?

Did the scanslating team drop this?

Once more looks like there'll be no new Citrus+ chapter in October, either https://www.ichijinsha.co.jp/yurihime/next/

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up, what is going on with Citrus' publication?

Yeesh, I try to let stories go places I wouldn't got the sake of telling a story, such as this kind of age gap thing, but I simply cannot abide by this MC looking at a perfect woman who loves her and going "no! I don't want her, I want this person who's the same type but a child instead!" I can accept a protagonist who makes the wrong choice but that's a lot harder to stomach when the right choice presents itself on a silver platter and she deliberately throws it away. Considering what the primary differences between Mimai and Megumi are (age and vulnerability) it REALLY does not look good for this MC compared to if Megumi was the only thing going on in her life.

Kasane is written to be a self-aware pedo, there are so many instances where she addresses the glaringly huge problem (even if in a comedic tone). Ofc she would choose the child. It isn't a wrong choice, its a right choice for Kasane's character and is expected. The real question is whether or not the author would let them have a happy ending. (I really hope they don't and everyone gets therapy).

Most age gap stories include details to make it feel a bit less potentially gross, typically making the younger person the more aggressive one, making the older one really earnest and devoted, etc. This author instead boldly refuses to offer us anything to ease the discomfort, not even being open about the discomfort with framing like we're supposed to be disliking these choices. It's even stopped being a comedy and is just a straightforward drama about if our hero will get to fuck a kid or not.

The younger one is more aggressive here, but not for the sake of easing discomfort. So far Kasane has been the one to have these 'misdemeanors' being attracted to a minor and all. But for a change, Meguru is the one that initiated the kiss. WITHOUT CONSENT, while Kasane is incoherent and realllllyy drunk. We just get more and more uncomfortable by both characters, there's no longer a right side to be on, or a character to really root for.

Sorry but I’m a I supposed to like the main character? She’s flighty, kinda manipulative and sketchy as hell like I’m not exactly dying to root for her. Meguru herself seems in no position to be in any kind of relationship especially with a adult woman she should be in therapy

No, I don't think this is a series where we're necessarily expected to like the characters. They're not supposed to be role models. This is a story about unhealthy people in unhealthy relationships. It may end with them somehow making it work and coming out of it less unhealthy than before, or we may be watching a train wreck in slow motion. Either can be fine.

Regardless, as a piece of entertainment media it is All the right kinds of wrong, which is probably my favorite tag that does not exist.

This is peak entertainment, it's like a car crash with fire everywhere, you don't want to go near it, but you can't take your eyes off it either. Kasane is definitely a detestable person, she's really creepy towards underaged girls same goes for the bio sister, she for sure groomed Meguru. Ah yes, groom, pedofilia, and incest, all in one package.

"Don't think about the age different"...She's a minor. Their relationship is illegal.

Fr, like Mimei you're suppose to be the sensible one here.

my 100% accurate prediction: Mii-chan regrets staying friends with her, and by encouraging her she hopes she will end up in prison so she doesn't have to deal with her bullshit ever again

LOL, I was hoping for Kasane and Mimei to get back together bc it wayyyy better than dating a minor....but this is also a good ending, if not the best.

Biggest issue if the reincarnator cares. Then there's WataOshi/IFTV, where Rei doesn't give a damn, despite being likely upwards of 25, with her Earth memories and personality dominant.

WAIT WHATTT??!! How old is Yvonne?? Like mentally, all together, both lives. I would think that she is at least 20? And Elsa is 16..... This is a bit uncomfortable, why are yuri series always a bit problematic, there really is no need for all that. I love IFTV but there's a lot of things that you have to overlook to truly enjoy it. Incest, pedophilia, and really dubious SA. Everyone just kinda overlooks how Rei treats Claire at the beginning, especially the bath scene where she makes Claire really uncomfortable. On top of Manaria assaulting the maid too.
