Is... is that a god damn cloud-penis on page 15??

I know right?!??

Okay, you saw it too

I'm not too proud to say I saw it as well.

Edelgard is more or less the only thing that makes Crimson Flowers worth playing through, so this is effectively a word-for-word retelling of that route's plot.

Damn I check out the novel and this will be a wild ride. I hope I don't spoil too much but I think every yuri fan or people who dislike the title can read this with a peace of mind. It does get pretty spicy though

I just looked at the first 5 chapters, which only goes up to before their movie "date" and wow, "spicy" is right. It's certainly a story with words that have been written.

More than anything it's very... unsubtle, even compared to the manga. I don't know if it's bad writing, a bad translation, or my unfamiliarity with light novels that makes it off-putting to me. It's probably a combination of at least the latter two.

Slightly off-topic side note:
What's up with light novels having weird 1st person POV protagonists that narrate directly to the reader? It feels incredibly awkward, and takes me right out of what I'm reading. Like, "you're probably wondering how Character A could have been in Location B".

Yeah, I am, but I assumed that would be explained through the story rather than the perspective character speaking to me like I'm some kind of voyeur watching everything play out in person. It feels like an unreliable narrator crossed with a 17th century treatise on trade in the Mediterranean. (And now I want to read a story where Descartes gets isekai'd, lol)

I was hesitant to read this at first, what with the title and tags, but it was so much better than I expected. I don't know if Kodama Naoko was drawing from personal experiences when writing this, but it all feels very real and true-to-life.

Gotou, especially, was very well written. She had a very satisfying (and personally quite relatable) story arc.

She accomplished things by making herself into what others wanted from her, being who people wanted her to be. When finally faced with a demand she was literally unable to meet, having a child, she was faced with the fact that she didn't know how to live if she wasn't just serving other people.

This scene in chapter 2 sets up her character arc. She coasted by, doing what was asked of her because she believed that was just how things were for women in the workplace. Shigisawa defied that assumption by being proactive and successful in her work, planting the seed that would later lead to Gotou's development as an individual capable of doing things for herself rather than only living to please others.

Chapter 8 states all this more plainly. Gotou doesn't know how to put herself first. That's why she doesn't contact Shigisawa after leaving. She was determined to become self-sufficient and learn how to take care of herself without relying on others. Was it necessary to fully cut Shigisawa out of her life for that year before they met again? Maybe, maybe not, but there's a reason she did it that I consider fairly reasonable.

All in all, a well told story, perhaps held back by being just a bit short. Another few chapters might have helped, but that ends up backfiring about as often as it helps, so maybe it's better to go a bit short.

It didn't take long for Kaidou to go from "There's no way I could love a girl!" to "I love my big tiddy gf :D"

Peak character development.

Why do bras need a day

To sell more bras, probably.

Yeah, Polyamory can work but it depends mostly on the people involved,

so like.... literally every other form of human relationship. don't see ppl scrunch their nose and go "well it caaaan work between just two people, i guess" at any monogamous couple.

I don't know about this whole "monogamy" thing. I think it's just a trend, like being "queer" or having "bones".

I think my issue with the ending is that very few of the characters felt like they added anything but one more person for the harem. They all blended together with only a few exceptions. Nakano is the only one who really stood out to me, and everything that made her unique just faded over time as she got less and less of the spotlight. Many of the characters just made me go "oh yeah, she's in this too" whenever they appeared. A tighter focus could have made a big difference, but at the end of the day it's just smut, I wasn't exactly expecting much.

This looks like it could shape up to be a what the fuck am I reading? kind of manga, which I'm always ready for.

Plot jumpscare.

Side note: Why is almost everyone in this manga stacked? There's like two characters that don't have huge honkadonkabadonkers. Is it something in the water?

^ It's what Convenient Semi-Friend started as, basically.

Technically different characters, but also not really. The main difference between the characters is that Shino is a lot less naive than her serialized counterpart. She's basically Suuna's future self, if Suuna ever learns what sex is. :P

Ruka sure folded quickly at Suuna's absence.

Time for festival cliches, like the kiss under the fireworks a confession being drowned out by fireworks.

FTFY :^)

"Perfect couple"? Such a bland and uninvesting relationship?
I'm sorry, but what is wrong with this school? (・・;)

Teens are shallow and have no idea what a good relationship actually looks like. As far as they're concerned, aesthetics are all that matter. (Especially if it's someone else's relationship.)

Though I suppose the same could be said about adults, too...

The dragon girl's tail must be detachable. There's no other explanation for why we can see her ass when she's bathing.

It’s obvi for the fan service duh

Now that you’ve point it out, I hate it. It’s crazy if it’s detached but it looks like it’s not but idk

Obviously she's a big fan of Kiryu Coco. Got that plug-in type AsaCoco.

Just saying... those musical illiterates (both characters and, maaaaybe, the mangaka) who say that the guitar is not "refined" nor "noble"; somebody should smash them over the head with the collected works of the maestro Joaquín Rodrigo, 1st Marquess of the Gardens of Aranjuez.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oxH-7VklBI

That shouldn't be much of surprise, since guitars are about three centuries older than violins. That's a lot of time to develop traditions and cultural cachet.

I fear it's more a matter of the guitar being seen as a "popular" instrument (despite masters like Rodrigo proving that full-blown orchestra-based classic music can be written for it) and the violin is seen as "not a popular" instrument (despite there even existing a word in English for a violinist specialized in popular music, "fiddler").
Such is life.

I feel like it has more to do with the fact that rock music has (generally) leaned towards "counter cultural", whereas classical music is more "traditional", for lack of a better term.

I'm not exactly a rocket musicologist though, so I'm not all that well-informed about the subject.

Not to derail the hype train for the plot finally happening, but what was the reason for this whole brothel binge in the first place? She knew Mai as a kid right? Was there a reason given as to why she couldn't just call her mom or something?

I don't recall a reason being given (though it has been a while since I read from the beginning). I guess I just assumed she lost contact with Mai's family as well. It certainly wouldn't be the most unbelievable thing I've come across. People move, change phone numbers, etc.

edit: just double checked, chapter 1 says Mai's family moved away and Asumi's mom didn't know their new address. That'd be the reason.

"Can I take a photo of the two of you holding hands?"

"Sure."

"Thanks. I have a hand fetish btw."

I like how we don't get any information on Mitsuya other than "former delinquent" and "she's a top".

Only the most important things. What does she teach? Doesn't matter, she's a top.
