Good work, tiny wingwoman

That awkward moment when the two of you have already f*cked each other silly, but still need some kid's encouragement to k-kiss (so lewd!).

the thing people are missing is that Evie always finds a reason to get in the way of her own desires. Like always. She always finds an excuse and a big part of the manga has been her learning to not make excuses anymore in order to live her life.

Basically this. Back in the days when she had still been actually useless, there was a reason why we called her the Neutronium Girl.

This last pages were way too lewd.

The twist was good, but what really hooked me was Houjou herself. Being somewhat of a depressed bore myself, I have a great fondness for go-getter protagonists.

I'm not sure how many of that camp we have left reading, but I would expect most to have not survived this arc.

I believe you underestimate the number of people who keep reading a series just so they can go to the forums after every new chapter to inform everyone how much they hated it. :-)

I really like the Imouto-Lapis Switcheroo theory.

i wanna see them fight. lapis are you gonna do something about that challenge bc i reaaaaally want to see it.

OK, bear with me: Upon hearing this, Lapis decides to join the opposing team, and the two duke it out in the finale, only to be evenly matched. The referees eventually declare them joint winners and they decide to enter a Natori sharing agreement for the time being.

Though I've categorized Systems into types for easier understanding, in reality, authors can choose to mix them up however they want, so don't be too surprised if something in here doesn't fit with whatever story you're reading.

And of course this isn't all there is about Systems, and I haven't even talked about Administrators yet. But I think I will stop here for now. I will write more If people like this enough/are curious about Administrators!

Also, do excuse any grammar errors/typos you may find, I'm too lazy to edit this XD

That was very helpful! I haven't read many System stories beside PBMMV, but it fits into your categorization quite neatly. Can you please explain how System is different from System Administrator genre?

The rivals to lovers element is fun. Forget the straight girl you're fighting over and date each other instead, the best way to move on and find love in that situation haha

It is not stated outright, but I suspect that she was the "friend who got married" on the first page, which is what put them both in such pensive moods.

How did getting hit on the head make their clothes tear?

That was the exact point where the critical part of my brain has officially shut off and let me enjoy this insanity for what it is. :-)

That's a double oof.

So, is Villainess x Tsundere the endgame here, or is it just me?

Aren't fox spirits supposed to gain tails with age and power? How did she already have 9 when she was a little kid?

I think that part was specific to the Japanese folklore (kitsune), while the Chinese fox spirits come in many forms, some of which are nine-tailed, without it indicating a particular age.

Also, remind me what a "second sister" is supposed to be?

From what little I know about traditional Chinese forms of address, I believe it means she is the second-eldest daughter of their parents.

Looking back at Chapter 5.5, I'm curious about something...

Wasn't Charlotte's reaction to Clair removing the cream from her cheek a bit sus? It certainly felt a bit different from your typical sibling relationship.

Yup, Charlotte is definitely siscon for her "onee-sama". Can you blame her, though?

I love how serious Germans are about bread.

From my experience living in Germany, Germans x Bread is OTP. I never heard of anyone else who considers eating bread with butter and tea a proper dinner, but Abendbrot is a thing.

I don't like however how everyone here is just saying it's abusive and just bashing on the story though, it's just adding onto the stigma of mental health.
I don't know, maybe I'm just seeing things wrong as I have BPD myself (as well as autism) so from my viewpoint I don't see things as negatively. If anything I sympathize with Sayumi, although she definitely should have communicated things better to Jun.
Remember folks, in relationships like this, communication is key.

I agree that communication is key, but I also think that Sayumi and Jun's relationship is abusive. Even if Sayumi is suffering from undiagnosed BPD, it's not an excuse for shoving her partner to the ground and then physically hurting her. While I sympathize with Sayumi, she stepped way over the line into domestic violence, and this has not been addressed for the rest of the storyline.

That said, Jun is not entirely blameless here, either. Because she loves Sayumi so much, she has great difficulty with setting and enforcing boundaries with her. She lets Sayumi off the hook for all the possessiveness and toxic talk until things get physical -- and then she slaps her back, going from 0 to 100 all at once. Even in the end, it looks like she will just let things slide again, allowing the cycle to continue.

Lapis with short hair is such a boss.

It's funny how Luxi is a boss in social interactions but slips right into the subspace at the slightest provocation from Tongtong. Is that what they call a "power bottom", or does this term mean something else (honestly curious)?

Misa: Partly losing control; partly trying to 'help' by replacing rape memories with, uh, forcedful dom memories; and 100% saved by "she likes it anyway".

Indeed. Kinda relieved that Misa is not a shitty person, after all, just one big fuckup of a partner. Fuckups are eventually fixable -- and she does owe Io a lot after this.

In other news, Io's mom should be locked up for the good of society.

I am not sure that Ming Wei understands that she can never go back to the old her after this.

I find it hard pressed to see the Yuri in this one. Felt more subtextie.

They want to spend the rest of their lives together, preserving their precious feelings—they are: Super-Roommates!

I guess author-san could have thrown an “Isn’t the moon beautiful?” scene in there, just to seal the deal.

It felt like really close friends or super roommates like you said, ha!

You could even say they are Gal pals. :-)

Omg an actual green tea bitch…

wait real. can't believe i didn't notice

Damn. Wasn't ready for enlightenment today.

Word.

Xiao Lu has a shockingly low threshold for sub space. Down girl, keep it in your pants around the hets!

I would say "bonk, go to horny jail", but she might actually enjoy both of those. >__>

This is hilarious.
Okay but what if... Resource management game where as the MC you try to restore the Black Knight's estate all while establishing a good relationship with your hirees. You start off with the maids that have their eccentricities and limits in their work output but they have special skills as your relationship levels up. Then you manage a reputation meter for the Black Knight, a meter for the secret, and a meter for the household (which is also your reputation). Obviously a romance meter with Frost. Eventually you get to hire more people and the money is a flowing. That's sorta the lense I'm viewing this with.

Please post a link to your Kickstarter page when it goes live.

They sure took the long way around, haven't they? But all's well that ends well. :-)

Also, I think the reason Akari hasn't been able to get close to many people is that she is quite intense, isn't she? It takes a certain mindset to be comfortable with intense folks like her, and Kanae just happened to have it. Akari had lucked out with that -- but reaching out to and being there for Kanae when she was hurting was all their own effort. The two of them have earned their happiness.

AFAIK there are very few yuri mangas that discuss explicit diagnoses, since mental health has been somewhat of a taboo in Japanese media for a long time, but there are quite a few characters I've seen that might display some symptoms on the borderline personality disorder spectrum, depending on how you interpret them. The one who immediately comes to mind is Rio from Pieta (take a good, long look at those tags before you decide to read it, though, especially since you live with BPD yourself). A newer, and less extreme, example would be Hime-chan. That said, I am not a mental health professional, and diagnosing fictional characters is hard, anyway, so take my recommendations with a few grains of salt.

way the hell is this taged as fucking yuri only for them to end as friends? wtf?!?!?!?

i was happy this was compleat, so i read the last chapter to only see them being friends!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's what you get for being lazy and not reading the whole thing. :-) Had you read the full story, you would have understood what it means that Ruby is losing her powers in the last chapter.

Still waiting on that communist sentai series

Indeed, comrade.
