So, totally coincidentally, we had two different artists in the same anthology write two very similar stories about baking snacks, with both Shiho and Yori wanting to reduce the sugar level from the recipe?

Wow, that was fast. This was dated for just 2 days ago.

I just got into the VTuber rabbit hole this January, though I've been following this manga way earlier.

Kind of sad to see no real updates for so long. I was going to say Coco's graduation must have hit them pretty hard but that was actually way before the most recent chapter came out.

Wow, it finally happened. Bit of a moment killer running out of time though.

I'm surprised Asumi-chan looked all shiny since they didn't actually... yaknow.

i think the implication is that she went to an internet cafe and cranked her shit crazy style

Ohhhh. I must have skimmed those panels too quickly to realize.

2 weeks later and I'm still laughing at "cranked her shit crazy style"...

Mikochi -> Nico-nii checks out (just not in the chest department)

I was curious to see why SasaKoi won #1 on Yuri Navi's poll. I have it #2 personally, but as the Dynasty poll shows, most disagreed.

I've read/caught up on 4 of Yuri Navi's top 5 lol

I read this first on exhentai and I didn't even think that was a real drink until I went here and saw the product placement tag.

Himari ships Aki and Shiho so hard that beyond the goofy shenanigans and the "she's just like us" vibe I find it not just sweet but also a little fascinating. I'm not totally sure why.

Himari's just an All-Loving Heroine to a fault. She wants everyone to get along. It's why she stuck her nose in so much during the Shiho arc. No ulterior motives like seducing Shiho or eliminating Aki. Besides obviously Yori, she just loves everyone as a friend. Same thing with Miki and Ayaka.

Gen 1 Love Live pre-dates Suisei by a few years so it's kind of funny to see the generational crossover.

"Got it from the bacon store"

I've been into yuri since the days of Shoujo Sect but I had a lot of recency bias in the 5 I submitted:

1. The Summer You Were There
2. Whisper Me a Love Song
3. Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels!
4. Because the Moon Was So Beautiful
5. A Kiss and White Lily for My Dearest Girl

Top 3 are either still running or just finished this year.

Honorable mentions: Onee-san wa Joshi Shougakusei ni Kyoumi ga Arimasu, Notes from the Garden of Lilies, Girl Friends, Bloom Into You, Gushing Over Magical Girls, Does it Count if Your First Time is with an Android?, Wife and Wife, Sekai de Ichiban Oppai ga Suki!, The Real Her, Nadeshiko Hiyori, The Missing "i"... there's a lot.

Not only did the quality drop off big-time in the middle there, Ako's totally bottomless and I'm not sure there was actually supposed to be a reason besides Ritz being lazy/horny

I, for one, am still in it for the YoriHima.

I was lukewarm on this series when I first picked it up back in 2019, and just more or less followed it out of habit. But when the anime came out and I got an excuse to re-read the manga from scratch, something clicked and Yori is now by far my favorite character. For a long time I've been into characters that are some combination of edgy/brooding/tomboyish/androgynous/flat-chested; they're like that compromise between masculine enough to be relatable to me, while still being feminine enough to be attractive to me. Maybe I just wasn't pay attention enough on first read or something.

EDIT because I don't want to bump unnecessarily: the last two episodes are finally out. Finally... it's over. Much of the animation and band sequences... were still bad, but there was an attempt. At least we got a good amount of detailed, on-model closeups.

Finally, a big, damn, YoriHima kiss. Right at the end. After the final credits. At least we got one.

I thought YuGiOh was about cards......maybe I should catch up on the series....

Shame though, not a single "It's time to D-d-d-duel!!"

I kinda thought the same thing. The seed was planted with Dark Magician Girl but adding moe anime streamer monsters is really modern and next-level.

I think its a waste to make a doujin about characters who dress in elaborate costumes and then have them just wear boring contemporary clothes for the duration.

I feel the same way about every goddamn "high school AU" fanartist out there.

Finally... the anime is un-dead(?) https://x.com/sasakoi_anime/status/1857347811882459618?t=RqY0EHC4YaS42QST6BhggA&s=19

Plus, chapter 53 raws are out https://imgur.com/a/sasakoi-chapter-53-raws-EDhTxPI
It's still a short chapter, but most of the people who wanted to see either YoriHima and/or AkiShiho back will be happy

English translation is out... So I read the raw, but since I'm still a beginner in Japanese, I misread the bottom right panel on page 1 as Himari asking Yori to hand-make her own lunches. What she actually said though... Yori's like the daughter-in-law already

It almost feels like Ouka-senpai's intentionally dodging out of situations where she can have sex with Asumi-chan, which makes her stand out as one of only two characters in this series, along with Mai, to not have had sex with Asumi-chan yet.

Since I'm a huge pervert, I want both Mai and Ouka-senpai to have sex with Asumi already. Nothing against Nanao, but I don't want to see Asumi become "exclusive".

Genshin is still in the "too big to fail in the forseeable future" stage but it's been out so long it's probably easier to find someone IRL who burned out on it than someone who still plays every day. It happened to me after 2.5 years.

That's just how it is with a lot of live-service games in general, no matter how big they get. They leave a big trail of people who don't play it anymore.

momoka and hajime have been together for some time

Are they actually a couple or do they just hang together a lot, bound by shared dead loved one?

My guess is they've been in love with each other for a while, but both are too shy/awkward to make it official because of the Kyou situation.

I commented last month on how I had just finished The Summer You Were There, but what I didn't mention was chapter 51 of this came out right after and jumping from KimiTsuzu back to this arc, I got this creeping feeling of dread that I was wasting my time reading this. AkiMiki is a non-starter because even if you like incest, you should know it's never going to happen. Takeshima isn't going to drive a wedge in between AkiShiho just one volume after saying she wants to draw many more adventures with them.

I reread the YoriHima chapters every so often and there are still so many golden moments they have, so this manga isn't completely dead to me, but I recently binged A Kiss and a White Lily and now I wonder if SasaKoi is also going the "couple buffet" route... AyaMiki could take as many as 15 chapters to resolve; HajiMomo may overlap with this and then continue on after AyaMiki are resolved. By then we could be as far as 2028 IRL.

I forgot to comment on this when it got featured last week but I mixed this up with A Kiss and a White Lily a few weeks ago and thought "surely I had at least read the first chapter of this? Probably didn't finish it tho"

So I read both... and I'm not completely sure I actually finished this years ago but either way it's a nice read. AnoKiss was also really good too.

Is this considered original? The brown haired girl is from NEET Girl Date Night, made by the same artist https://hitsujigoods.itch.io/ngdn

What the hell this is so cute! I've only played the original VN and had no idea there was an expansion full of yuri. I probably ignored this when it was first uploaded to Dynasty and only caught it now that someone put it up on e-hentai lol.

Now I gotta wishlist the Plus expansion...

Ok, I'm a late arrival but I had to comment.

I didn't really know of this manga's existence until Dynasty/MangaDex had already slapped it with the big fat Tragedy tag, and I usually shy away from those. But from a sudden recommendation from an internet buddy I tried it. Binged it in just over 2 hours. The epilogue as well.

Cried quite a lot. This is one of the greatest manga I have ever read. Re-read it from scratch. Cried some more. Re-read just the sad parts. Cried EVEN MORE. Just devastating. ABSOLUTELY GUT-WRENCHING.

I don't like getting hurt, but this story is still so beautiful I'm re-reading it over and over again; obviously I wanted them to be a couple for real too ;_;

It changed my life. I lost weight after reading this. Made me just nauseated from sadness for a few days. Going back to another manga I loved, Whispering You a Love Song, I got this dreadful feeling that it was a huge waste of time. I guess it's just because the arc it's in right now is boring but yeah.

For years I was all-in on the HajiMomo train, even after the Kyou death reveal, but just last week I read "The Summer You Were There" and I cried and cried and it's one of the greatest manga I've ever read and now I got traumatic PTSD and I'm not so sure if I want HajiMomo to just go out immediately. It doesn't feel so "right" anymore.

And when Miki was all like "I love Aya-senpai, but not romantically" I was like "I've heard this damn story before already with Himari -> Yori and Aki -> Shiho, they both fall in love for real, so just go out with Aya-senpai already, you'll get over your Nee-chan and fall in love with Aya-senpai for real before you know it"

No we need someone to play (whisper) a love song first. That's the name of the game and I'm wondering if we'll find some creative way of doing that here too. The first two were very different. I don't think Aya senpai plays music though so who knows, maybe Miki or Momo does something. Gotta keep music involved somehow.

Well, Miki's already in the Wind Instrument Club (insert blowing joke here), so she can at least make that love song. She might not be able to sing like Shiho/Yori but hey, Aki sung something, even though in-universe I think it wasn't as good, and she got the girl.

Momoka's part of Laureley with Hajime and Shiho, remember? lol I think she's the bassist. She could do the same.

I'm also wondering if Takeshima-sensei regrets writing Miki as having dated a boy. Surely she couldn't have just forgotten? I'm not going so far as to say the anime was an active retcon, but I dunno.
