wow i really enjoyed my time with this. i feel like it could have benefitted from two to maybe five more chapters maybe exploring that angel link with Mai but it's also nice that it's left ambiguous. the entire story felt really refreshing too, very explicitly gay and also very wholesome. we really deserve romcoms like this. i'm super happy with this series... and it made me crave some parfaits.

Hmm I don't know. The cherry blossoms scene was very clearly a finalisation of Sena's feelings and a way for her to move forward. They're family and they'll always be family. It's not meant to be romantic. And the Sena x Kiku romance build up was the entire manga. Heck, I'd call this a slow burn with how it's paced.

It was meant to be romantic as well. It seems many don't understand this story (cultural misunderstandings?), which is a shame. This kind of melancholic feeling is deeply rooted in Japanese literature and this specific meeting finalised where all of the main characters stand. There is subtext here I suggest you go back and try to understand.

Rereading this series again, I still disagree. The cherry blossom scene is melancholic but it's familial between the sisters, not romantic. In fact, I would even read it as a clear end to the romantic feelings, a closure, contributing to that melancholy, punctuated by them finally talking things out and even fully acknowledging the presence of the fiance.

definitely a product of its time with the constant panty shots.

Man Hoyoung is the only character in this series for me. Maybe Rina and her stylist gf. But Hoyoung... If you won't take her Sol, give her to me.

This was surprisingly nice. The premise is nutty and throughout you can't really forget that she's literally 11yo. But it's presented in such a casual, humorous way that it works well. And alongside the gags, there's also moments of maturity and serious drama. I think the ending works really well too albeit slightly rushed. Overall, it was a nice read. You just really gotta try to push the 11yo bit to the back of your mind lmao

I will say, it was a mistake to skim through this series' forum posts.

there's just something about this author's work that i really don't jive with. i think it's the writing style, a lot of "telling" instead of showing.

I may come out as an annoying person but listen,
I read the first chapter and wasn't a big fan of it, but tried to give it a chance and read the second. But, the fact that the author made a church to be a dating place and to lewd stuff really made me feel....uncomfortable..?
Like, why is it a church? It's a bit disrespectful to use a sacred or a holy place like that. (Christian or any other religion, it should be respected

i feel like it has something to do with that stupid idea that girl's love is pure and maidenly and nothing else. perpetuated maybe by early yuri that had a lot of religious imagery. so "it's not defiling if its yuri"

idk man i am glad that modern yuri seems to have moved away from that.

as for the series, i dont have a problem with objectifying people and this series is obviously just the author objectifying lesbians... but couldnt he have at least done it in a sexy way? the porn isnt even off putting enough to be interesting, it's just boring and cliche.

glad to see that mira hasnt really changed much throughout the years.

very cute. i love the friends being very supportive and understanding too.

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

Again, people are trying to make this one shot that is as deep as a puddle into something it isn't.
The author didn't think about any of that and just wanted to make an anti-drug PSA.

tbh i'd disagree that it's meant to be an anti-drug psa. people are treating a plot device as if it's the actual plot.

Lily is sure drugs will be very glad you all defended her good name when she reads these comments, instead of focusing on things like themes or the relationship between the leads~

Genuinely don't understand how that became the point of the discussion. It's pretty clear that both of the characters were dealing with things other than the drugs too and drugs weren't the reason they wanted to die.

dang sucks to hear it may have actually been axed but sugar found a pretty fun way to incorporate it and having these last few bits of the university arc is still fun.

this has been such an informative series tbh im glad i read it

im not sure i fully got that. but i think her actual dream/goal was to be like the other girl but she's not necessarily passionate or interested in the girl's hobbies/interests. so eventually drama became suffocating and she got really sick of it. but she feels like she has to be frustrated because otherwise she's not like her idol/rival who she believes to be super passionate about it. but then at the end she finds out that the girl's dream is to be a doctor and it's just like the hair thing where there's really no special attachment for one thing or another (i.e. she cuts her hair bec its hot in the summer, she's not attached to the long hair). and it all just makes the main girl feel hollow in the end?

but tbh im not even satisfied with this interpretation because of the last few pages. so im a bit lost.

I do kinda like it. It feels a bit hopeful. I was wondering if it was gonna be a "oh you like me back? then my interest in you is gone" but it seems like the girl is realising that happiness comes from feelings being shared by both sides.

Older girl is definitely the worse one. Like Mannic said, making the younger girl hide it instead of telling her to break up with the boyfriend. Also, older girl was what, a high school student making moves on a middle schooler?

I still like it though. Kashikaze is just too good.

the design of sawa is doing things to me... anyway i find it so funny that she did all that to recruit someone to the club lmao

yknow what... i cant wait to see the consequences of this. the melting art was pretty great, really conveyed the vibe.

you just know the quiet one on the right is the most carnivorous of the four

i like the vision

Honestly she should let the other girl go; why waste your time with someone who isn't a human being, just an extension of her parents?
Let the other girl enjoy being **** by her arranged husband (which is pretty obviously what happened next).

sheesh who hurt you?

i know yanagi x mizuki is gonna be the endgame but at this point im rooting for yanagi x shion and for the sister to get some of that ntr action she's into

Also I kind of find it unfair that Miyuki even gets to compete in this event she's been with their mom and been training together since she and the mom left and practically just ditched You... If she wants a record contract couldn't her mom just give her a contract? I don't know maybe I'm just reading too much into it I just think it's unfair

wouldnt be too far fetched from how actual talent contests are ran though they really wouldnt be this obvious. the realistic thing i can think of is the mom and the contest hiding the fact that they're her daughters and considering how she just left one of them, i wouldnt put it past her lmao

tbh i dont understand people saying "being locked in a room for months is unrealistic and too extreme". are we now softening abuse? do depictions of abuse have to only be to a certain threshold?

Okay?

A bit of a nothing burger imo.

Nothing really happened except a couple's spat.

Their couple has issues, and nothing was solved.

gods forbid an author explores something a bit smaller scale instead of a huge dramatic plot
