Lol, just a few pages in and I've laughed out loud multiple times. What a couple of morons <3

Suzu is genuinely adorable.

That was great. Showed all the canon similarities and contrasts that drew them so immediately and deeply to each other and kept them together.

Love the teacher being savvy to it all but still being so charmed.

Momoka going from "I guess??" to "I'm gonna do this right"

Lol, I thought this was so fun and interesting, and then I see the comments. It's refreshing to see characters that aren't the usual archetypes. Both were genuinely more interested by the other than they cared to admit and the ending looked like the start of a fun new dynamic.

Really loving Coach x Nurse too! For all the reasons everyone said. It has felt like over the years the writing and characters have matured, in a sense, but the girls are still very much high school girls. Feels refreshing to have actual mature characters, with the shyness and flirting of their blooming romance, sure, but... they're adults. Kind of a settled matter of factness to them too.

From what I hear, Korea is straight-up in a gender war?

You can learn more about it here https://x.com/vryjkof/status/1789382955560837538
I am sorry for bringing such sad reality as topic here, but the ignorance bothered me as I have close friends living with such realities from Asian countries.

I do love the trend and the artists participating!

No, thank you for speaking up. There really is a crisis going on because of misogyny and highlighting that doesn't negate the other forms of bigotry that also exist. One might also point out that a lot of intra-gender bullying also comes from misogyny, women not performing femininity the right way, men bullying men for being too feminine, etc.

Sweet story but yeah this is one of those stories where the gender, age and physical appearance of the characters changes things. It's also the energy, mutual attraction of the characters, and how they come across to each other, under any other context this would have been so creepy lol.

Well, that’s the point of context—it doesn’t mean much to say that if the story were different, it would be different. The events and actions don’t exist in isolation where they can be judged “objectively.”

There’s a whole series of jokes/memes that consist of brutally simplistic paraphrases of famous works:

  • Two teenagers disobey their parents and then kill themselves. (Romeo & Juliet)

  • A poor girl agrees to marry a rich man after he goes blind. (Jane Eyre)

  • A kid goes into outer space and finds his long-lost dad, who cuts off his arm. (Star Wars)

Well, yes to all. But there’s more to it than that . . .

Right, there are tons of little cues that play a part too. There WAS mutual interest, she wasn't weird or invasive about it, and so on.

The setup might have been fairly generic but I thought the execution was sweet and funny.

The art was fantastic

Oh, this is fun! Thanks for the translator's note on "babe", that really is a dilemma...

I thought that was cute! I'll always understand best friends afraid of admitting romantic feelings and changing everything, even if it went perfectly and there was no homophobia and feelings were returned. It's not each individual author's fault it's so universal and a million other people have done it before.

I'd love a really good Aerith X Tifa manga or fic but this wasn't it, for me.
Didn't like the plot, the characterisations were totally unlike them, and I didnt even like the art much sigh.

There was an amazing big fan fic that paired them up but ive not seen it for like 20yr and no idea what it was called.
It started after ff7 and told in some flash backs how they fell in love during the game, and then in present day how Tifa brings her back out of the lifestream. It was the only really great fic of them - wish I still had it.

It wasn't https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3038434/1/Love-Not-Often ?

Awww, an anthology?? That was such a good start that could have gone so many places.

It was beautiful, I thought it was going to be dense and abstruse at first, but it fleshed out its world and characters so well. The humor, the feelings, the ending.

Wow, the art's utterly gorgeous. Thanks for the chapter, the text looked so pretty too!

Ah, that made me genuinely cry. Really liked the use of "grace" for Iris in the translation at the end.

The maids were funny and won me over at the start.

Kinda ship the mom and her assistant or the tutor or whatever she is.

Thanks for the scanlation!

Just want to say I love the older version's design for Micchu

I liked this a lot! Lengthy, great art and action, and an intriguing little mystery. I suppose in that amount of time, it couldn't have been anyone else.

Also, lol, I'd love for this Reimu to fall for Yukari, the most yokai of yokai.

Mio and Shizuka chapters feel like their own genre at this point. So much admiration for the author's ability to skip between various moods and tones.
