I'm rooting for this woman to get a divorce and find someone who'll treat her right and help her raise her kid to be healthy and happy

Wouldn't mind if Eko stays kinda batshit but I'm hoping Risa joins up with the two of 'em amicably (after probably some life-threatening introductions). The girls should be girling.

lmao adorable

(at least it seems Diana can have some happiness too if this goes the expected route)

i would rather have perhaps not been reminded of this work but i can't say it's not doing a good job at what it's trying to be

man what a cute concept this whole thing is even if it gets updated at a snail's pace

I don't think this story was that bad y'all lol, it was alright; good premise, cute artwork, fun dynamic, sloppy work towards the end. Definitely among our weakest longform osana stories when it's all wrapped up. Probably not very memorable but I'm at least glad I read it.

Through pain she was able to grow and learn more about herself.

I don't know if we can draw any conclusions about Natsume's own feelings on the matter. But she obviously loves Shiori a ton in her own way. I don't think she's the more mature one necessarily in this story--I get the sense she also can take her own share of this pain and learn to grow too.

Maybe a good idea for a sequel about her own experience here, if Amazaki-sensei wished too. I'm plenty happy with this as it is either way.

Devilhomura x Madogod by an author who capital-u Understands Rebellion.

I loved this.

I have a particular fondness for these introspective pieces but for some reason I really adore this.

I'm glad they're properly massaging this situation in a fairly proper fashion. I definitely would not mind pure sugar poly fluff from a reverse isekai, but this angle of maturation will definitely have me fall for the love between the girls more.

this shit gas

the most accurate comment yet here

Any take other than "both of them kinda fucked up here" (ignoring nuance) is prob incorrect here. I'm sure they'll figure it out though. Makino is a bit too bull-headed to sulk about this and will barge right back into Mashiro's life full of steam as always.

That's actually hilarious. I know the assumptions around delegitimatizing affection between women aren't, but they failed at both that and criminalizing sex work here. It would also make working with female clients especially desirable, I would think.

Always fun to remember the courts went out of their way on a couple occasions to cede more ground to trans rights in the name of trying to make sure homosexual rights weren't recognized. At least it's starting to change.

Escorts and whatnot in JP tend to be just as likely and open-minded to female customers in general. Soaplands and DeliHealth both usually have one small section under a girl's profile talking about whether they're okay with female customers, and they're almost always at least outwardly open-minded.

Makino has been kinda not been exactly a stellar girlfriend herself lately as far as we know lol Mashiro keeps talking about feeling lonely.

Mashiro tho lmao look I'm all for sex positivity and some friendly advice for friends but she's gotta know the capital-p Problems with doing, uh, -that-

What an ass wish. If she gave a single fuck about Natalie she would know that Natalie doesn't want to leave Lapis.

Agreed. Her wish is entirely one-sided and fails to take into account Natalie's own feelings.

Just to try and pump the brakes on this before it carries off too far, I don't think this is very accurate. It can be tough to remember previous key events when you catch each update as they publish, but just last chapter we saw that Diana's first instinct was to completely give up Natori to Lapis for this exact reason--considering her feelings. But after that exchange, she has - honestly, rather logically and rightfully as far as the current State of Things is concerned - determined that that would just be a crushing, one-sided and scarily possibly abusive relationship.

So I think it is a bit contrived to say the wish isn't "considering Natori's feelings", since as far as Diana is concerned, this is the best thing for exactly that. And maybe she's just forcing Lapis into action to call her bluff. She's definitely a bit of a bull about these things lmao.

That being said,

Also, this "grant any one wish" thing reeks of unrealistic worldbuilding. Life doesn't work like that, even when magic is involved.

Yeah. lol. I can't disagree here. I sighed and rolled my eyes. But, well, we can write it off. Not every work of fiction is good at interconnecting every detail.

Don't think we're in the kind of set-up where a poly-ending is possible.

There are no love triangle settings where a poly-ending isn't possible, just writers who are too feeble-minded to push it.

I definitely think the Bit with this one is gonna start wearing thin soon if they don't make some significant progress soon. I can only take oh-so-much toxic yuri before it turns from angst to unentertaining lmao

Since page 9-10 were left untranslated... It seems like next chapter there will be a tournament? Natori says she will grant the winner any wish, and Diana says if she wins Lapis has to give Natalie-san to her. Is that right more or less?

Other people have commented but just to firm it up, that is what those pages are saying, and probably more or less a gist of what the next arc is apparently about (probably snippets of panels from ch18 sent to the publisher for specifically this preview section).

The fact the author is talking about the two main love interests in their future is obviously a reliable sign this is gonna be a poly route surely theres definitely no other reasonable explanation for it :copium:

Needs World Without Yuri Manga tag.

And I know this isn't the first "divorcing parents split up twins" story I've read--is it just a story trope or another cultural weirdness thing?

I think it's neither, really. I think twin love is one of the more fascinating philosophically introspective topics in romance, and within the GL or BL realm in particular it takes on a nuance that is sorta a "double negative", given the core logical argument against incest is often the real problem and consequences of inbreeding..which sorta takes on a significant amount of water with homosexual love, whose own """wrongness""" comes from not furthering the bloodline or whatever bullshit.

And sometimes it's just people who really love incest in their fiction and honestly all the power to 'em lmao.

Somehow at the end of this I bet Matsuri is gonna be the most endearing character lmao

Wonder if that blonde girl in that flashback is the witch/Elsa's mom/Elsa herself or whatever combination of those are the same.

I don't think I could ever get enough of these two being in a room together.

Honestly Estella too although I'm not entirely sure that room would last longer than an hour before someone went unconscious.
