It’s there any proof of an axe? Everytime a Series ends people says axe just because with 0 proof of it being axed, its annoying lol

another manga by this man, awesome

Don’t even on the husband side but I think it’s funny how everyone think he is binding Ema because he is aware that she never loved him when it’s more likely he though Ema fell for him at some point (she was the one who called him after some time if I remember correctly) and probably think they are now having a rough time. They are not different from any couple, Ema is the only one aware of the facts. Like I think people here forget they are married, we know Ema feelings and all her drama, for Hario they are a married couple for a reason.

Honestly I get that this whole thing between Ema and Takara is being taken slow and it’s trying to be “realistic” but this is a fictional story, it’s too slow for me, I am annoyed lol Slow-paced stories are cool and calm me but I think authors need to know how to manage it so it doesn’t become stiff. I think this is a problem a lot of adult drama has.

she had to divert her attention (and, if you're mean, how much her heart was in this) with simultanous releases in Yuri-Hime (and an anthology?)

She didn’t has any manga running in yuri-hime, the only work she has in that magazine is a one-shot. I don’t think she has other manga running at the moment either. This magazine is new, and you can feel they bet on this one but didn’t work out with the public, I don’t think there is anything beyond that,

Why do people keep being lowkey racist in this thread

can we please stop

People don’t understand how silly they sound when they talk about “japanese people are” using anime and manga as example lmao

lol doing drugs is not like this AT ALL. japanese people are so funny with how dramatic they are.

another Japan Thing in the thread lol

What I don't understand is what the dude is doing here, because hes the one that broke up with her over this infertility stuff, and now hes making it her fault in whatever fucked up story hes telling Miwa's mom.

I don’t think he told the mom anything special, Mom probably called him, Miwa adopted An, but Kenichiro was nowhere to be found about the matter, I asume Mom called him to ask how things were going (she said Miwa didn’t contact her At All and even Akane tells her you reap what you sow) and so he told her that they broke up long ago. He probably called Miwa to explain that. I think he will want to go back together and Miwa will refuse

I fucking love the mom

I don't think her killing her GF was all that much of a stretch given the rest of the manga.

It’s not the killing per se, but how abrupt the killing felt when they immediately jump to the prison scene. Seeing her panicking over her dead girlfriend would have been awesome story wise.
Again my problem is not that the killing is over the top, it’s how the flow went.

NTR always catching strays…

Either way I agree with the criticism about the edgy ending, I thought when her GF swallowed that big amount of drugs she was going to make her vomit, so when that didn’t happen I thought she was going to wake up with her gf dead besides her for overdose, if the author went with that and later the MC went to prison for assisted suicide or something it wouldn’t feel that over the top

Oh I knew she was a woman, didn’t knew she was a lesbian. I really love her stuff and wish it was here.
Yes she is just horny, this is a twitter comic that is now published in a seinen magazine, so no need to follow the pure more dainty formula. A lot of manga now published in magazines are authors picked by editors after seeing their twitter/pixiv manga, because a lot of artist don’t really like the rules commercial manga environment demands and stick with doujinshi and use these twitter/pixiv shorts to promote their work

I am sad this never continued. I love their designs, very unconventional for yuri

I think that she is saying is that even if Japan has it views on drugs people are being especially sensitive just because it’s japan, no one says Game of Thrones it’s promoting incest and child marriages even if the US has a problem with the later or that Euphoria is drug apologia, this one-shot shouldn’t treated different that those series. That is what I think she means, I could be wrong

The piece afterword in the anthology allegedly is literally "drugs bad".

It's 薬、ダメ、絶対！

which is just "Drugs. No. Absolutely not!" and is a reference to Japan's anti-drug slogan ダメ。ゼッタイ。

If this was an american comic and had a "Kids, this is your brain on drugs!!" message near the end, you'd be able to clock it for the joke that it is, but instead y'all choose to interpret it as some anti-drug war message.

So it’s Thing - Japan Thing the other way around

Well idk about anyone else but what I got from this one-shot is that drug yuri sex is awesome

drugs are bad because they are produced in the south globe

This is only true of some illegal drugs. The US has plenty of weed farms and meth labs of its own, LSD can be wholly lab-synthesized (and has a bio source rooted in ergot fungus), shrooms can be grown at home, I think fentanyl is fully synthetic...

I was talking about synthetic drugs, most drugs created in the south globe are exported to Europe and North America (they are the main destination for cocaine trafficking)
I was not talking about weed, opio, or stuff like that, I explicitly said artificial (synthetic). Opio is not bad but the US and England had created wars for opioids.

But as I said in my comment, I don’t care about the topic lol It’s not individual faults, I found the one-shot hot. I just thought the guttural reaction to defend drugs as if this was propaganda was funny because drugs are that type of topic “Evil vs Awesome” you will have this type split for obvious reasons (I was giving a example as to why drugs can be bad. Funny enough, many migrants consider us drug addicts because in my country a lot of marijuana is consumed lol and I think ridiculous)
Going back to the topic, a one-shot being edgy about drugs is not that big of a deal, especially because that is already a established mentality in Japan. The one-shot also present more ideas than “drugs are bad” It’s better to view it as a descend of madness that as anti-drug propaganda. Hope to see more frenesy drug use in my yuri sex.

Anyway, I think the other person was being sarcastic hehe. But brutal crimes for drugs still exist, not that it matters in this topic, I explain like shit because eng is hard but I agree with Liddle

I mean I get the nd reading, but I don’t it’s BPD or OCD, her personality had a major shift (acording to MC flashbacks) and self-harm can be done by depression, a lot of addicts has those fast emotional change.
I agree that the killing was the crime, but still I think is drugs+killing due to Japan also having strong views on drugs.

We're seeing the late and final stages of her spiral instead of a slow descent

Yes! I agree, my english is shit so I wrote a whole ass paragraph but you summarized my exact thoughts

Hey. This manga is about BPD, not drugs.

It’s about drugs, the anthology is about crimes

I loved it! especially the connection between sex and drugs, we need more yuri with crazy sex due to drugs, more high women fucking!

I don’t know why everyone is taking it as a PSA, the drug made them to not be in their right mind, she is no serial killer, obviously she was going to get caught. Either way artificial drugs are “bad” compared to natural ones (weed, opio, etc), I think the ones in this one-shot are artificial ones, they are more hard, that is why she descends so fast I think, she was also depressed from the start.
Other than that, drugs are bad because they are produced in the south globe so that the western world can get high, impoverishing and destroying our countries. It's not that I'm interested in discussing this issue, I'm not going to blame individuals for this either, but I don't understand the need to defend (real) drugs because a fictional story is a little edgy about it. It’s a fictional story, if it painted drugs in a positive light I wouldn’t think it was excusing them either.
Also like, with drugs you will have stories that paint it like the Devil and other that will paint it as something Awesome, it’s that type of topic

Japan problem with drugs vs alcohol it’s another topic lol

Edit: I liked it, I differ with other opinions, I don’t think you need to explain how they went from happy to toxic or every emotion, that type of “didactic” approach on stories is not my favorite, the one-shot is not trying to explain why the girl used drugs, it just happened, just like real life plus many addicts start with their partners just like the protagonist. It is a story of frenzy and euphoria, with the protagonist documenting how things escalated.

She might just be envious of their 'friendship'. She doesn't seem well-endowed in that department.

Yeah, I don’t think she knows. Her face and reaction is very common, and something I think everyone has felt. When you feel bad and meet friends to feel better. A lot of times I still feel bad but being with them and seeing them happy calms me a lot, make me feel better, not that I improve my uneasiness but I feel more composed and calm about it all. I think that is how she felt

That went more boring than I thought (or wanted) Its not bad at all! but how things went with the students I thought thing would get a little more heated. I had a image of sensei but she is just depressed, and you know, even if I feel disappointed by the development I really love how her emotions and inner thoughts were displayed/explained, and the final lesson. Very cliche, but it was made in such a non-dramatic very plain way which give it a very “real” feeling, very easy for the reader to project (I would have preferred something more messy though, not with the student, just herself but it’s ok!)
I love the teacher and her self reflection about the student, her boyfriend and then about herself. I don’t think he is scumbag (it’s implied sensei has some kinks lol i hope to see it in the future, when he see she is not in “sexplay” mode he stops) he is the same as her, people that feel bad about themselves and don’t move, just stop their time in constant need for self gratification, she was like him, but the student opened her eyes, the female student also helped it as her warning made sensei go see him with her usual “hidden” intentions just to be meet with someone who was serious about his love and passion contrary to her who was just floating in air.

Art is beautiful, but I'm connecting less and less with Sumiko's storytelling. The 4 page format is dofficult and fit pre time skip so well, but now it's just frustrating to me with the whole "serious drama chapter" that makes you abxious on how they're going to fox or tackle the issue to the "slice of life with fluff and hope and shows they still care for each other" I know they do, I just want to see them communicate or more development.

Ok first I also want to say I don’t have any problem with the pacing, as I said before I read this like a newspaper comic, to the point I forgot it existence until new chapter drops.
But what you said can be another of the reasons why so many people feel ??? with this new arc, the first one (as I remember, so take it with a spoon of salt) didn’t have these “Happy, Sad, Happy, Sad” jumps, it was more ¿lineal? with the mood, I think

Either way, is a crime Arai didn’t show Mitsuki full outfit, it looks so cool, I wanted her to drop Aya just to see her in it

This manga has many tropes that I like, even the girl's completely fanservice personality is great (the MC is boring though, her personality does not complement well that of the blonde girl. I would prefer her to be more like Shion from MB) but for some reason each chapter is more and more boring, I think it is a problem of the lack of fluidity in panels and drawings.

“It’s smell bad, smelly” PEAK

Why this masterpiece doesn’t appear in the front page
