I just realized, her demon form at the end looks incredibly similar to the demon Sulleta design from this artist:

We are just reinventing Creo the Crimson Crises at this point

Still hurts that it got axed.

Student council president of an all girls school under high expectation with grandfather being chairman of the board who expects her to succeed one day...

I'm getting some vitamin C from this one.

Why do so many manga have the "Let's have some fun and play with..." character that drags everything to hell.

Easy way to cause drama: introduce third wheel.

Now this really is the yuri version of those otome isekais! A loving father!

I think what I don't like about the second half full of fluff is not that it's fluffy. I like fluffy. It's that it lost the passion of the first half. The ambiguous relationship they had at the beginning was kind of hot, and it felt like the art reflected that. There was a real yearning from both of them, and seeing them struggle with that was exciting. The second half feels like it lost a lot of that yearning. I've reread the first 18 or so chapters a bunch of times, but I never continue after that.

I agree with you. The first half is a lot more engaging and I've also stopped rereads at the same point.

I have to wonder if the other party isn't doing this intentionally. Yuzu is coming on so strong it's like she's trying to get Minami to fall for her. I wouldn't be surprised if the development turns out that way, them both trying to seduce each other but being too dense to think the other party is in love with them.

I'm not sure how it's handled in japan though.

In Japan,to my knowledge, it is assumed that only the woman hast the duty to take care of children and there is greater pressure for them to just quit their job after becoming a mother.

So, honestly, I do think they guy is entirely in the wrong to double down in the societal pressure instead of supporting his wife. The "being irresponsible" comment is what bothers me the most. It is one thing to make the suggestion of extending the leave because he thought there was no other choice. It is another to directly admonish his wife to wanting to work as being a bad thing.

It may be a bad thing if they can't find daycare for the kid like they said. It can be costly too. Sometimes the best financial decision is to have a stay at home parent, at least while the child is very young and needs daily supervision.

The translation seems like they're trolling... if it isn't some serious ESL. I wish they had a native speaker doing the QC.

I suspect a good ol' fashioned KEY style "wish" affecting the world here. She'll probably help her cope with her death by filling that diary and then need to go away once it's finished.

YES! It finally took the turn that I was hoping. Being a relationship with someone who "just has to hurt you sometimes"... YESSSS. I'M A SICKO I'M HERE FOR IT

Cute artwork, but it's overall very... off-putting. I'm willing to roll with the blatant wish fulfillment premise, but Tenma comes across like a grifter. "Oh hey, you're rich. Let me tell you a sob story to soften you up..."

I'd probably be more open to the premise if there was maybe a page establishing Tenma as actually homeless and actually good natured/honest about the whole thing, because the presentation just makes me suspicious. And since it's a wish fulfillment premise, suspicion just makes the whole thing feel... I don't know how to describe it. Like there's an internal contradiction. Or another shoe is waiting to drop.

lol, of course another shoe is waiting to drop. There has to be something else. That's what I'm looking forward to!

I've been exposed to PRSK through Japanese twitter and I'm pleased to see some stuff translated to English.

This and Crystal Sugar Machine Gun. Great doujinshi about their adult lives.

I prefer nami x vivi, but fine. Seems like One Piece yuri is super rare for some reason.

I don't think it's that hard to figure out, there are way more male characters (it being a shounen series). Despite it's massive popularity, it doesn't seem to be a popular target for doujinshi, much less yuri.

As soon as I saw Tomo-chan when I watched the anime, I immediately crack shipped her with the protagonist. She's just too suave looking.

Surprising that they both just acknowledged there's something more here.
