We alternate POV between Miyagi and Sendai every few chapters

That's good because this chapter left me really wanting to know what's going on in Sendai's head.

So far, my best guess is that we have here a "That Time I Was Blackmailed By The Class's Green Tea Bitch" kind of situation — where Sendai doesn't really need to be Miyagi's servant or obey her commands, but does it nevertheless because it turns her on.

That's not a bad guess, although the motivations are a bit different, at least at first. I also recommend checking out the first chapter of the novel for insight on what's going on in Miyagi's mind during the whole licking ordeal. If you don't mind mild spoilers (the manga will probably get into this stuff later), here's a summary:
Rather than ordering to lick her feet to satisfy some sexual urge, Miyagi is just taking out her general frustrations in life on Sendai and is deliberately asking her to do something she believes Sendai would find issue with. Problem is, Sendai is a genuinely bafflingly accommodating and flexible person, so she just goes ahead with the order against Miyagi's expectations.
Miyagi does enjoy the feeling of control, especially over someone she sees as unapproachable in her regular life, but in the novel when Sendai tries to make it into something more explicitly sexual ("So you actually find this fun, huh? In that case, while I’m at it, should I make it feel good as well?"), Miyagi actually reels from it and tells her to knock it off, because she's not ready to interrogate the whole "getting aroused from this" part of the equation just yet.
Also, Sendai is not without agency here. In fact, the reason Miyagi looks so dissatisfied at the end there is because she felt Sendai herself was the one getting the upper hand and doing whatever she wanted and even ordering her around, when that's clearly not supposed to be their roles. I think it's very emblematic of their relationship moving forward

Is it just me or is haruka acting weird?

She felt a bit weird to me too, especially the face she made when she noticed Michiru took the picture. Wonder what's up with that...

A friend is looking for a oneshot, it was described like this
"magical knight, sheltered priestess-ish, red string of fate to not lose each other?
there was something about the priestess-ish being "tied" to a temple the knight found her in"

Can someone explain to me the Inuyasha reference ? I'm ashamed i didn't watch at all this one and really don't plan to.

Inuyasha is a half-demon who was very hostile to Kagome in the first episodes of the series, and pretty much the only reasons he didn't kill her right away is cause since he wears this thing called Beads of Subjugation (which he can't remove by himself) whenever Kagome says "sit" he gets slammed to the ground.
That collar Bazu's wearing is pretty reminiscent of that, so it makes sense people would make comparisons

I knew I recognize this artstyle! It's the author of "How I Stalked Some Dude with an Exposed Nipple and Stumbled Upon the Zenithian Sword ", the best manga there is!

Woah that title was a ride, had to look it up just to make sure it wasn't a joke

She closed her eyes again the second time to give her a chance to properly kiss her... so cute

does anyone have any recommendations for comics with a similar relationship dynamic to this one? it's not tagged bdsm, but it definitely has that vibe. if you know of anything similar that also isn't tagged i would appreciate it. most of what is tagged bdsm is just porn, and this comic is more along the lines of what i actually enjoy. thanks :3

You should check out The Real Her if you haven't already! It has a mixture of bdsm and wholesomeness similar to this one, but the relationship moves much faster

i don't find an issue with the premise of the story not being very original.
what i'm really enjoying about this is the writing. the characters feel real, more real than most stuff i've read these days. there's no weird unnecessary drama going on forcing them apart (or together), it's just two girls figuring their relationship out in a fairly realistic manner.
sometimes you just wanna read about young queer love, you know? i don't doubt that might be boring for some people but i'm enjoying it.

nikaido doesn't have enough personal stakes in her relationship with the bully to give a shit beyond whether or not tadokoro forgives her. it seems fairly in character to me that she would be upset about tadokoro being hurt at first and then go along with whatever tadokoro desires

I'm loving the pace, I've always been a sucker for a good slowburn and this looks like it won't disappoint

Straight yuri fans are such a bizarre concept to me.

Fact: most yuri fans are males and straight.

Not true, the majority of yuri fans are women

Are those Yuki's parents?

Happy they came back, even though it was so short!

Tbh, most people fall in love after being around the person for a while. It's not a sudden realization. It's more like that when the person isn't around, you feel something is missing. Love at first sight mostly happens only in fiction.

I agree. MC does admit to enjoy love stories in the first chapter, which means she reads a lot of them, so she probably expected to fall in love immediately with someone (the guy from middle school or the senpai, anyone really) but when that didn't happen she started feeling even more isolated from the whole 'being in love' thing

Personally, I don't think she's actually aro. She probably just never fell in love before and watching her classmates talk about love and being excited about it made her feel like she never will, because if not now, when everybody else does, then when?
I've never been in love, so sometimes I feel like that too
