Poor girl

DID GOOD DEEDS~
EVERYDAY~
THERE I AM IN THE BACKGROUND LOOK AT MEE!~
THEN THEY GOT MARRIED~
THEN THEY GOT MARRIED~
(Then they got married, that's how life works)
THEN THEY GOT MARRIED~

And let me say the anatomy improved just in time

We have a cupid who doesn't care about the effect of her actions and just wants to do cool stunts

Imagine that

Do you not know what an allegory is?
If anything, the fact that it's love literally/textually doubles down on the genderqueer interpretation - the love leads to kissing, which is what changes Hodaka's body.

That would be the reverse order of what you guys are on about, you don't get the effect before you eat the medicine

Either way it's clearly a forced fantasy to think of the story in that light, people are allowed to have their head cannons but don't push them like that

I wasn't joking about the estrogen = love metaphor btw, quite a few girlies I've spoken to have described going on estrogen as something similar to how Hodaka described how beautiful the world is to him now.

I didn't realize I was depressed until that veil got lifted, then suddenly life felt worth living for the first time I could recall. And while the setup makes it sound like Hodaka may not have been depressed, the ennui described is comparable.

Well it's definitely not a scene that's meant to hammer in how in love he is, love has never made people smuldgy about how wonderful the world is

Characters like those dudes are just lazy writing these days

Boy is this well drawn

So she did sleep with her for free. :-) I swear, we need a tag for stories that are the opposite of what their title says: this, I Won't Let Mistress Suck My Blood, Sorry, I am Not Into Yuri...

Technically it's the second time, previous time she slept with nakano was free too

Hummm, so that is it, they are friends? not a special "I like you"...owww,come on now.

It's a big step up from from client

Nothing's hotter than two people who just really want to do each other

The easiest way to find which is the intended readership for a work of manga is to find what the mangaka has to say about that.

This makes me think of the afterword in the first volume of The saga of Tanya the Evil. Which is something to the effect of: "What are you doing here? Why did you buy this book? And who in their right mind decided to publish it? My Book is strange and unusual ,The world is upside down! But now that you are here, welcome and enjoy the ride

They tend not to be all that gendered in my experience? I can't actually remember seeing one off the top of my head that specifically assumes all the readers are women

In my experience The only real gendering that pops up across Yuri works is a lack of real male characters, usually no more than one not counting antagonists, they are usually absent or cardboard annoyances

So Michi is actually a ghost? Has she become fully physical or is she possessing someone unknowingly?

What a bombshell

I think Makino is about to get really honest with her family

A scene like this feels a bit odd when you're in the middle of reading "you're the cutest in the world"

I guess... it's an asexual marriage? No kiss (except the one that came with a slap), separate bedrooms forever.
Sure, that's cool. Not satisfying from a story perspective, but if the author really wanted it that way, okay.

You people are aware that it's not uncommon for married people to have seperate bedrooms in Japan right?
It's 'practical and polite'

So we never see them demolish that rule huh

Why is she so nervous? She basically already got confessed to

She can repay her debt to her sister by coming out first. Unless that actually would put more pressure, depends on the parents. Anyone notice that, in a way, the parents found the best male match possible? Puts up with her being a lesbian, scummy, materialistic, a user, etc. because she makes him laugh. Makes me wonder how well the parents really know Makino. Actually, if they're aware of how lesbian she is, that's rather depressing.

Her sister came out first, that's why we're in this mess to begin with

Guys, if your girl sends a knife wielding Psycho your way, that's a rejection

I'm less familiar with Japanese Isekai specifically but usually stories about being transported to a fantasy world are escapist fodder where you can leave your boring life and go become a big deal somewhere more exciting with bigger stakes

With so many Japanese works, the trendy topics end up being included just cause and half the stuff that comes out don't even use the genre properly. But the best works do use it properly or has a good twist on it
Re:zero is a deconstruction where the escapist dude has a mental breakdown over how hard actually living such a world is
Konosuba is a parody where the escapist dude is too lazy and petty to properly live out his dream come true
Tanya the evil has the main character be tortured by a disgruntled god
So I'm a spider is a survival/death game arranged by a rouge god (the mc in this one so darn entertaining)
The one that made the genre big, sword art online, is about trying to escape the escapism
I've been killing slimes is therapy for a poor worker who worked herself to death

Ch 11. Natori: I want you to want me.
Ch 12 Lapis: Okay, I want you.
Natori: what da hell?

N: I didn't mean it like that!
L: too late, your ass is mine!

Lapis: I have a new assignment for you
Natori: yes mistress lapis, shall I get you your tea or sort your paperwork?
Lapis: you shall marry me and make me happy untill my death, don't fail me

(Continued in the next Natori Dub of this manga)

Y'all crazy, it's defo gonna be Study mate, nobody else makes an ounce of sense (even if Rina would be hilarious)

No justice for Akira T_T

this chapter is hetero?

It's her family...
