This series started out almost completely "het" and headed for utter disaster. It's only when Tomoko was giving up her "plan" to become popular by fucking every boy in her high school that her life even had a chance of getting better. It's basically a rare example of a non-yuri becoming yuri (or at least heavy subtext and lots of overt yuri crushes (Asuka and Ucchi are unambiguous, Yuri is pretty obvious, and Nemo is likelier than not, as is her cousin).

Stop picking on Rin, nyaan! I don't get what you're trying to say, nico! Be nice, zura! Horosho!

(Bonus: that's right, da ze!)

If you wondered what https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Uc-rFkFrU Kotoura-san would be like if it lived up to its first ten minutes, crossed with Welcome to the NHK....

What is this chikanery Asuka?

Has Akane EVER expressed any interest in Tomoko? I feel like, in fact, Tomoko's kind of a rival for Asuka's attention.

This artist does great UcchiKuro.

I believe legally if your grandmother is hot enough it's not incest.

I don't see why emoji can't be in Kuro's harem.

Tomoko reminds me of Nico a bit in the 2nd panel.

She begged Yui not to graduate, remember? Even if Yui is still main girl, Azusa has NEEDS. Needs, people. Needs.

MariAli is one of my favorite couples but Shanghai is my favorite character in all Touhou.

I like that she's a pretty normal kid. An awful lot of Science babies are either the perfect children, tiny copies of their parents or very precocious. This one, she's a fairly regular kid, given her environment.

I agree 100% And the Cloud Palette one gave me a very uneasy feeling, because in a typical anime, things wouldn't be so plotlessly fluffy and perfect unless their family was about to be wiped out by The Menace of The Show. It's exactly how they always set those scenes up.

Ah, the painful life of a neet who ships mostly unpopular ships.

Take that aside,.this doujin is very nice and art style is great. And we need more science babies.

Are they unpopular in Touhou fandom? I thought they were the most popular pairing in Touhou.
That's what I thought too what is a popular pairing in touhou

They are*, but the above NEET, even though she/he doesn't ship them, still likes the art, style and science babies.

*Actually, Marisa x Reimu is probably as popular if not moreso. That said, MariAli is certainly up there in popularity, and one of my favorite pairings in all of anime, manga and Japanese games. Meiling and Sakuya is big, too, and oddly, the sisters Remilia and Flandre.

Give the girl from Sasameki Koto a break! It's not like she was clueless and helped stall the romance between Murasame and Kazawa, or that she wasn't brave enough to get a girl of her own even in a school full of lesbians, right?

Re-reading this and given Nozomi spends all her time with Eli,and is suddenly touching Nico all day, I don't think it's wrong to read romance into this. My take is that, while popular, they aren't on the same tier as Maki, Umi and Eli, and they know it. So they're hunting girls at their level, not that Nico would ever admit it. Nozomi would but she knows it would hurt Nico's pride. Anyway, that's my re-read.

Bibi granting Nozomi's birthday wish? Or is it just Nozomi dreaming about them doing it?

ari-chan my guess is Nozomi doesn't worry enough about whether Nico can breathe when she's being Oppai-ed.

So, this is about Nozomi and who? The title does not match the story :0

I dunno, maybe you need to check again. The title and story seem sync up just fine.

But it could have used a little fan service, IMO.

(on edit) it seriously was heartwarming and unambiguously a Nico x Nozomi ROMANCE and not BFF.

I don't get what this doujin is about. It seems to involve Nico and Nozomi somehow.

Main girl is a nice girl and a gentlewoman.

I hate Yae, besides, she likes men and is a milf, the daughter it could out something good, the other teacher, hmmmm, i don't know, but for now, I preferred 100 times Kusanagi and daughter

Isn't it Kusanagi's fault she never told Yae she loved her? How was Yae to know, to make a choice?

Since when girls in Sakura Trick learned what romance even is, to have intimate one?

If you watched the anime, in Episode 8, Yuu thought that Haruka proposed to her, and agreed to marry her. This after trying to ask her sister about gay relationships and being shut down by her. Then when Haruka kissed her in a casual way on their wedding day, Yuu cried because Haruka wasn't being romantic. So Haruka kissed her again and said, "this is our wedding kiss, Yuu. And this one. And this one. All of our kisses are wedding kisses." That made Yuu stop crying, but then when Yuu found out they werent getting married, she was upset with Haruka the rest of the day.

Same episode, secondhalf, Yuu is so overwhelmed with her feelings for Haruka that she avoids her completely and even her sister, already falling for Haruka, intervenes to bring them together. They confess they've both been overwhelmed, agree to work it out together, and then (Christmas being the #1 Valentine's day for couples in Japan, VDay is #2 and White Day is #3), while they kiss, behind them a laser show with a bunch of hearts and other Valentine-y things explodes, fade out to their entwined silhouettes.

Last two volumes, IIRC.

Where can you read Sakura trick?

Various places and：

https://honto.jp/ebook/search_10桜Ｔｒｉｃｋ%E3%80%80１.html?srchf=1&tbty=0

You can also get the same thing on Amazon or amazon.jp but I much prefer Honto - cheaper and faster.

I don't think any of the tankobons have been licensed in English translation yet.

I would recommend ebooks for manga unless your Japanese is fluent. I have Shinozaki in print and the tankobons are such tiny print it's impossible to read without a magnifying glass. Even though Shinozaki is very easy to read - it has furigana throughout.

ON EDIT: I just checked and it's in Volume 2 tank chapter 16. Haruka adjusted Yuu's lipstick by giving her a quick kiss. She is just about to discover that Yuu thinks they are getting married, vs just going to Haruka's cousin's wedding.

This is poor little Yuu:

YUU:
You don't do that with a wedding kiss, it's important!
Haruka is acting strange.
Don't you want to be happy?
Haruka, don't you want to marry me??

Haruka comes through like a trooper:

HARUKA:
(kisses Yuu)
This right now?
It is our wedding vow kiss . . (kiss) This too. . (kiss) This too. . they're all, all wedding kisses.

ReadingDoujinshi Nico was watching Saki.

Only not a neko when she's with Hanayo. Just kidding. Even Hanayo tops Nico.

Kusanagi gets Yae and daughter and other teacher and Kurosawa. She's wasting her time as a super-teacher when she could be writing books about how to handle a fivesome.
