It's "Kaguya handshake", popularized in Chou Kaguya-hime.

The Lots of Sex tag can’t be trusted

What can you do? Modern times have brought shrinkflation to ecchirotica as well. Time of real value packs is over.

There is so much good fan art and professional art about Kamiina. Why was silly meme like this chosen?

For example, entire set of eye-catches from the series byTaiki Konno: https://imgur.com/a/Ur67DbH

she's evil and sadly i can't look past that

Which one? Girl who chose to cheat on her boyfriend (tbh, she doesn't even seem to care about him), or girl who seduced her old flame after breaking up? :)

Honestly, this seems kind of inevitable setup because it's just about two people who are deeply obsessed about each other. That's what takes some points away from my evaluation, because it's largely stakeless and coded in result.

Best cheating stories are ones with pressure, doubt, clouded motives, uncertainty of timing and so forth. Where you genuinely can't tell where they story will land even at midpoint in chapter 69.

It's for sure yuri. After the recent Moon chapters, i have faith in this author now.

Having faith shouldn't matter. In fact, it can make lot of stuff less enjoyable when you expect something.

Kuzushiro's series persistently feature queer characters, they just might not always be mains and/or be involved in romance. They do like to tease and misdirect, however. Any reader with too eager of a mind will get their brains bullied to oblivion with false signals or misreadings.

How in the world does this author keep starting a new series while concurrently still working on their old long ass series. The dead brother one was still going on when Moon on a Rainy Night started, right? And is the Mamgaka one even done yet?

Kuzushiro is a workaholic
She has 5 serializations right now(One of them was never touched by a translator and the other one is on a hiatus for like years now)

Kuzushiro is indeed kind of crazy when you look at how many chapters of manga they've made over these years.

Living with my Brother's Wife by itself is 161 chapters long (finally reaching ending some time ago), it has quality art and chapters aren't short either. I can't even begin to imagine how many work hours and trying to figure out paneling and poses and such has taken to get that finished.

Honestly, fans should encourage more authors who haven't made yuri yet giving it a try, not try to force people to stay on their line.

Hotel Haremforia.

After 5 episodes I have to say anime version of Kamiina Botan is incredibly good, shockingly so even. Episode 5 is bit like Shaft-styled, in a really good way. So far it's been splendid. That's even despite deliberately potatofied style of episode 3, because voice actors do great job as well.

It's well worth a watch even if you don't like the manga.

"This should have been the true ending. Then again, considering what happens later in the plot, maybe that wouldn't be such a good of an idea."

Doesn't work for theming of entire series and character specific plots, no. Things going as they do does.

I wish I could write something specific, but as soon as you get into details it ends up as spoilers. Just wish as many people as possible experienced Flowers themselves as possible.

This looks like a conga line of misery, but the tone is little bit comedic. Hopefully it will be amusing misery instead of just a stroll on downer alley.

Akebi´s Sailor Uniform should be getting a lot more popular soon in this sort of category, if people started paying attention and world was just. Art is spectacular, and Akebi and Erika play off each other extremely well. I bet lot of anime and early manga readers thought it was more of a "just friends" story.

More people ought to also take a look at "Summer Trend". It's a fluffy working girl age gap story accompanied with really good art. Right up there with the best in my books.

Also nice to see SHDWR and Blue Star making appearance, since those are both high quality works in their own ways.

The thing is that none of the endings or anything are true canon, because it's an infinite multiverse franchise now. There's a comic book that has entirely different story line, and it's "canon" as well and the story itself already involved two+ timelines. You also experience different timeline in the original game in one scene where Max goes to see a different future Chloe could experience if things went a little bit differently.

All of those timelines exist simultaneously, nothing disappears or appears from nowhere. It's just that Max, for some unknown reason, gains ability to "unmoor" her consciousness and travel around different timelines and go back and forth in one as well. This is also the reason why her so called choices in end of the first game are actually a pointless moral trap. Max isn't saving anyone by leaving, things still happen as they are.

This latest game is written by a bunch of people who dislike Chloe, so it is what it is. Just take a very negative route based on Chloe's reaction of Max not saving the town and her mother, and there you go. But the other "ending" of the original game will inevitably loop back to start of the first game. Max still has the butterfly photo there, which means there will be many timelines where she goes back to make another choice, not to mention its just a cruel torment for Max to experience like being toyed by some kind of intangible "spirit of universe" that hands her the keys to universe and tells her to struggle until her mind breaks and she gives up.

Newbie turned into bewbie almost instantly.

Glossary was bit superficial, because it's not only the names and surface level details that seem to have affected this manga.

"Aino" is a character in Kalevala who is promised as a wife to old sage Väinömöinen by his brother, Joukahainen, who lost a spell singing contest to him earlier.

However, Aino does not want to get married to such ancient man, so she eventually ends up drowning herself in a lake instead. There's also another source poem for Kalevala where a maiden instead hangs herself.

This could be seen as a fated death, as even a man as powerful as Väinömöinen was not able to stop this from occurring, giving a bit of a parallel here with the mage knowing her beloved will inevitably die and it seems there's nothing she can do about it. However, very last part of that sequence shows that Aino has changed into a fish instead of drowning and so manages to escape her predicament. So it's not all so dark. I'm getting a feeling this story might do something similar in the end.

Briefest possible plot synopsis:

17-year old student keeps making moves on a 24-year old teacher, who herself realized having been nursing a romantic crush on her own mentor fairly recently.

Oh my goodness
The love her sis has to her big sis is too extreme..

Speaking of the incest route, I still like Candy Boy the most
Citrus is good too, but for fluffiness, I'll go for Candy Boy

Citrus isn't incest at all. It's just a classic "brand new step-siblings fall in love" setup at its core. Yuri live action version equivalent would be "Transit Girls", and it's a fairly common teen romance trope in general due to many writers themselves having experienced their parents divorce.

Candy Boy is an incest love story, between fully blood-related sisters. It feels quite different in tone, because you can see the sisterly bond in every scene mixed together with romance. Neither of them doubts it that much, it just is how it is.

Pretty good, but also very gutpunchy.

That's some evil NTR right there. Asuka x Kaori is not only canon, but 4Ever <3!

This just won't do, no sirree! :)

I get the feeling they know there's 0 way for there to be a season 2 at this point, so they're trying to have their cake and eat it by putting some of the series as a manga special on Youtube, while using the anime to rush to the end of the Shiho arc. Which just doesn't work in my opinion, as the anime feels like a rushed mess that ultimately doesn't do justice to any of the material / any of the couples. Especially with YoriHima being thrown under the bus by the anime.

It's a typical manga pusher product with lowest possible budget, regardless how enthusiastic staff and performers are. You stuff in as much of the story in as possible, so you can get more people trapped by the manga continuation, and hope for the best in terms of sales boost.

Pushers almost never get a second season or full adaptation.

Rena was already shown to fall asleep at strange times in chapter 1. Not sure what to make of it. Could be apartment or could be a health problem.

These two have been together for a long time even before they became lovers, so something has clearly gotten worse after they moved in.

I am convinced that these manga hotels are eldritch beings that sprout into existence the moment it starts raining around potential couples

If you give it enough time, I'm sure someone will eventually turn that idea into an actual manga.

I mean, there is already Yuri Wall, so why not Eldritch Dimension Hopping Yuri Hotels too?

Yuri wall?

There is a manga called "Yuri Wall", a silly gag one.

I was subconsciously expecting one more page with some kind of horror reveal about that "new thing" she wants to try, to be honest.
