Nice t-shirt, Sorawo xD

Indeed, she always have funny T-shirts! For people that can't read french, it says:
"advice
I'm in trouble".

But in a cute way.

If the dog girl can get a job then they can at least split the rent, which should help the money situation.

Lol that's very practical, but I don't think it is where this is going.

Solid start, sounds fun, I'll follow this one.

Man I wish we got to see more of them after dating but this is nice too

Re-read the beginning and you will have all the classic dating steps :p

The last two pages seem like they were added just to end on a positive note. Just before Mai sounded like she was addressing someone who died, and then it turns out Saki's been in the hospital for three months? Talk about a cop out...

I had the same feeling. The story would have been better if it had stopped there.
Not that I want the other MC to die, but it feels odd to stop at that point.

I remember stumbling upon Yurihime maybe a while back in 2022, I was hoping to maybe start getting into it but I never had the time. But wow I'm surprised it was going on for 20 years on and still succesful :D So far it seems there is no chance of it ending which is good cause I'm hoping to start reading the magazines from now on....maybe I can get my hands on an actual copy eventually

They are also published as ebooks on Amazon jp. If you use a VPN you can buy them there, even with a foreign credit card.
I used to buy quite some Japanese ebooks when I wasn't living in Japan and had no problem doing so. Just once in a while, I had to use a VPN to be located in Japan.

The friend's smile as the end was so wholesome (on two of those two dorks)!

This one is actually not new, it's already complete with 2 volumes. The author has another ongoing series now.

Thanks for sharing the info. I've look at the comments on Amazon, and I'm now sure this isn't for me.

I have to say that I'm often (personally) mystified by the comments on stories like this. To make an analogy: I don't "like murder." I don't think "it's OK for some people to be murdered." But I routinely read and watch fictional stories in which people get murdered.

I don't quite understand why discussions about cheating in stories so often quickly devolve into assertions about "not liking cheating" in real life.

Makes sense. There are indeed a lot of cases of things I don't like in real life, but I don't mind in fiction. I guess I should have phrased it differently and said something like "I'm turn off when there is cheating in fiction".

every so often i forget that men read yuri until good ol forum comments start getting raw around men getting cheated on by lesbians / bi women or having their relationships cease in favor of gay ones. Anyway im excited to see ohsawa yayois take on the terror and violence that marriage enforces upon queer women in small towns.

I don't know who exactly you are talking about, but I'm a woman. And I don't like cheating, regarding of the gender. What kind of comment is that, seriously? Do you implied being cheating on it less of an issue if your partner is gay/bi?

Well I think this story is going to get like a train...

I know that adultery is quite common in Japan, but all those stories that starts with a married couple is a big turn off to me...

Well in that case the husband seems to be aware of it, to a certain extent, but still. I'll wait to see what people are saying about it, to judge if it's worth is or not.

Is there anywhere it isn't common?

I think this type of story is somewhat common because of a lot of various circumstances with society, and I think that's pretty global.

Well, I'll be honest, I never looked into the numbers, but Japan has a reputation of having a big issue with sexless marriage and having a lot of extra conjugale affairs. To the point that in some married couple, there is an unspoken agreement about "be discreet, and we won't talk about it".

That's interesting, and I should say part of my experience is that I know a good amount of people that have had relationship complications in this regard (and other ways), so that's a big reason I figure it's pretty common globally. People are complicated and messy.

Fair enough. I still have a strong dislike of cheating (well, like most people), and it really turns me off. But given how common it is, I guess it makes sense that it's fairly often seen in fiction as well.

These two bang once and immediately turn into two rabbits in heat my gawd

As well they should.

Honestly, I'm glad. This is pretty common for people when they start having sex to be pretty horny, especially with someone you really love.

Teenager's gonna teenage (well, they are a bit older, but you get the feeling...).

I'm been wanted to comment on this chapter ever since I've read it in Japanese.

I'm glad this is taking the anthology route indeed. It feels like each senpai those two will met will be sharing their wisdom, helping them not do the same mistake (in that case, dwelling on the past). It's like they are guided by the original sender, as if she was a kindred spirit.

Thank you for the translation, I always enjoy re-read them in English, and your notes are always nice to read as well.

Taisho-era yuri, why do you always need to be so fucking tragic?

That was a confusing chapter.

I think it got axed and they needed a quick resolution.

I had the same thought. Too bad, I really enjoy it so far.

When censorship becomes an art form.

So if they both stop in showbiz and are still single then they should be together.

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. If you feel so much for each other, then why not just get together now? Their fans obviously wouldn't mind, but even if they would, so what?

I think this was just her timid way of confessing. I don't think this was supposed to be taken literally.

Awesome chapter! So much was unpack, but in a very natural way. I kind of want to re-read everything now.

I wonder when the first scene is supposed to happen. I guess it would be in a near future?

I kind of want to check the LN now.

What a bunch of rude adults, immediately assuming that she was stealing it when she wasn't doing it on purpose.

Honestly, this is quite unrealistic, especially for Japan. People are not confrontational, and would tend to resolve issue in the most peaceful way. Not saying this would never happen, but this is unlikely.

This is definitely forced drama for the sake of the story. But this story is all about drama, so nothing really surprised here :p

What's with the tag on chapter 12? I checked page 16 and there are no exposed breasts on that page.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girlfriend_limited_to_7_days_ch12#16

What do you see in the lower left?

That is a singular nipple, but the tag clearly promises nipples plural. This is illegal advertisement, and I demand to talk to the manager!

That's the type of pedantry I like to see lol

It might just be because of the way the manga artist is drawing arms (and hands), as I've noticed that in quite some panels already. Anatomically speaking, proportions are a bit off, but close enough so it gives an uncanny feeling. This is especially true with Haruyo, as she is quite tall, it exaggerates the issue. It gives off a bit of a mantis feeling, with arms too long for her body. But I think it's just due to proportion mistake, and there are no intention behind it.

The artist grew up reading shoujo magazines and for the longest one tried to be a shoujo mangaka, so I guess that's why they have a habit of drawing long arms and large hands. The artist is aware of this too.

I understand there are codes, but sometimes, it's really unsettling. I never got that feeling from any shoujo manga I've read, unless there were issue with anatomy. To be fair, different proportions doesn't necessarily mean being anatomically incorrect. Having longer arms and hands is not so much the issue actually. It's the join placement. It's just wrong sometimes.

For example, the hands in the bottom left panel, look almost disarticulated. Or look at the arms on the top panels, very long for sure. But the joint placement is a bit off (especially on the right panel, the wrist joint is really weird).

I honestly don't care much, I just happens to work an artistic job, so I tend to notice that kind of stuff (but don't mind it). Lots of manga artist are not super good with anatomy so mistakes happen all the time. In this case, this is just to explain the unsettling/uncanny feeling that some panels can convey, unintentionally (compare to other panels were it's total intentional).

Something about the way Haruyo's arms are hanging limp by her sides (pg 15), combined with the mood of that moment, gives me a bad feeling. Though maybe I'm just getting hung up on an incidental detail

Holy cow, did this series really just dodge a dozen chapters dragging out Nagi revealing that?

Guess it makes sense if it's approaching a conclusion and not trying to be some long-running series, but I really appreciate the pacing.

I actually wouldn't have mind if the reveal was in the next chapter, so you can feel better Nagi's angst. Or at least have it a few pages later.

But regardless, this was an awesome chapter! They are both so cute, this warms my heart like a hot chocolate on a cold day!

Also I must say, I think Minori has perfected her new art style. It started out kinda rough but you could tell she was experimenting and getting better at it with every new chapter.

Really? I feel the opposite. Suuna is alright, but for some panels, I thought that Ruka was looking so different I had to check if it wasn't a different character. I liked the art style of the beginning better, and more than that, it was more consistent imo.

But I guess it's good if some people enjoy the new art style!

^Ai had at least one relationship before Kaede. We see it in chapter 5. She's with a woman and wants to stay (probably to avoid her mother) and the woman says she can stay forever if she wants. Ie, they're in a relationship. Also means Ai has always been a lesbian.

Kon had a relationship with a male colleague, but he was just using her.

Ai is 21. She mentions it in chapter 4.

Ah, I see. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. As for the AI being 21, thanks for clarifying that as well. I had a feeling she was young, and while I thought 19 might be too young, so I went with 20 :D.

Re-reading chapter 5 makes me realized that Kaede did prey on Ai on purpose. This is disgusting... She truly is an awful woman. I hope Ai will realized that.
