Takkun is all of us.

I would have agreed with all the Kon is the monster theories, but we've actually already seen what it looks like, so I don't know. Besides, she describes the monster as being beside them in the sex scene, implying that it's some being apart from them. But the story seems to otherwise point in that direction, so who knows?

My guess is that it's never going to be fully explained in the story.

That escalated quickly.

...not complaining, though.

Coincidence? I think not

I kinda wish she had a caring lover to support her instead of Touko.

What an odd statement. Until now Touko has been going off Yuu's explicitly stated original premise of never falling in love etc.; when she's told this is no longer the case her about first reaction is to kick herself over how much anguish she's unwittingly been causing the poor girl.

Pretty sure that's "caring" by any definition.

What I meant was that, so far, Yuu has been the only one supporting Touko in her dreams and hardships. Touko never even asked what Yuu was going through, she just kept dragging her along with whatever she wanted to do, never coming too close. I wish someone would do for Yuu all that Yuu has done for Touko.

Huh, art looks slightly less crude and terrible than usual for Mochi. Now it's almost close to the level of your average thirteen years old child. Good for her.

Now she just has to learn how to write actual stories and dialogue.

Don't like it, don't read it. Simple.

10/10 will Yuri again.

Same. Wish there was just a tad bit more, though.

Flushed red cheeks
Labored breathing

If I said I totally relate to the main character here does that automatically make me a sadist?

What the fuck i expected cocaine

I expected makeup. What's with you people?

Also, Mochi has always been a bit weird but this is something else.

Seriously, Arc? Who's gonna work on it? (I'm up for that, by the way teehee)

This smells like "the feeling we all must endure"
Please tell me that is not the case.

You mean like several "coincidentally" bisexual/lesbian characters modeled after capital sins being grouped together and ending up having occasional sex with each other? Seems unlikely.

I'd really like a Rape mention tag so that I can be warned of scenes where there's discussion of rape but not an actual depiction of rape. I have anxiety and, due to episodes in my past, rape discussions sometimes put me through panic attacks and depressive episodes. This happened when I first read Octave (there's a scene where one character speaks about "forcefully violating" the other, or something like that), and it happened again when I re-read it years later, not remembering why I had stopped reading the first time.

This would be a real relief for me, I could opt not to read a chapter if I'm feeling particularly vulnerable on a specific day, or to avoid the story altogether.

According to Yagakimi twitter, the next chapter is focusing on Yuu's sister, Rei. I wonder if she finally finds out about Yuu, whether it's by chance, logic or when Yuu just straight up tells her. I can also see how Rei giving her some advice can be a trigger for Yuu's confession to Touko and a start of a new plotline.

Nice! Can't wait.

I'm not a native English speaker, and I've never been to an English speaking country, but for me the Scottish worked fine. Even if I'm not used to a specific word, I can understand its meaning from the context. I thought it was a creative solution in the manga, and it sounds... Cute. Really shows she's not from Tokio.

I feel like the transition from 'just a thought' to 'an actual scenario' wasn't properly executed. So when it happened I was confused, I wasn't sure if that particular scene was real or not.

I daresay this is what the author was aiming at. Torii was so caught up in her fantasies that when it actually happened for a moment she didn't know what was real anymore. Torii's confused. We're confused. That's Nakatani Nio for you.

On the bi/Les discussion, just go with whatever your headcanon is, this discussion isn't really being productive at this point.

I rather like the Scottish accent, I find it incredibly charming.

Same. I think it was really well done.

I think we should take the opposite approach to this. So far she seemed ok dating boys, so it's safe to assume she's bi unless she explicitly says otherwise. Not that there is really a right or wrong in fiction stories, but this seems like the most suitable position. I say we wait for the rest to make sure.

the first to comment is gay

I think almost everyone here is.

Not too sure about that, there seem to be a fair amount of straight guys who are into yuri these days.
Would be nice if it was just us gay gals though.

"God!?" "Indeed".
That dialog cracked me up.

Damn it. There's an attempted rape scene and another one about child abuse in chapter 30 of Blooming Sequence. I really think I'm gonna give up on Lezhin as a whole at this rate.

So if I got this right...

Safe ones
- Lily Love (this one actually got me into manhwa)
- Lily Love 2
- Blooming Sequence
- Everyday Lily
- Maison de Maid
- Her Pet (contains violence)
- Love Doctor
- My Job

Stories with rape
- Elixir
- Pulse
- Serenade
- White Angels Have no Wings

This is actually very helpful people <3 Thanks everyone so much.

It's kind of wild that I'm this happy about a trans/nonbinary character being included in a story that isn't all about them being trans or nonbinary? They're not played for laughs, nobody makes a big show of finding them creepy, they get a solid romantic angle of their own that's treated as sincerely bittersweet and not tragic or laughable, and even the fact that it's the terrified-of-guys Hotchi that has her own quiet unrequited crush on them is subtly affirming. It's just! Great! I love it!

I fully support this comment.

Also, nezchan is right :)

These are the safe ones right? I'll look into them. Thanks Arc :)

I bought the 4 volumes from my local bookstore with my college allowance. I hope I'm not making a bad investment.

You are, but I can totally relate.
Edit: Also, I'm surprised your local bookstore happens to have this. Where I live I could only get it via amazon.

So I went to read Lezhin's yuri/GL comics, but right off the bat I came across one which had several consecutive rape scenes on latter episodes (Elixir), and this put me through another episode of anxiety and ptsd. The stories had no trigger warning or tags to help me know which to avoid. If anyone's read these stories, could you tell if the ones you read have rape scenes? (that is, any scene with unconsented sex, including those where "consent" is given through blackmail).

Thanks in advance.
