YESSSSS THIS IS SO CUTE AND SEXY!! GOD this manga is hot. Asumi and Nanao are so overpowered. How are we supposed to withstand this?? I love how they have so much chemistry and attraction to one another that they keep getting drawn back to touching each other now that the door is open. It really feels like without the firm hand of the author this could just devolve into them having a ton of sex all the time and then ending up together lmao. Honestly can’t say if I’d prefer that or developments in Asumi’s search.

My guess for the next... let's say 5 chapters is that Mitsuki doesn't communicate like the numbskull romance manga character she is and some light drama ensues where Aya freaks herself out thinking that Mitsuki has lost interest and is distancing herself from her.

And then when things are resolved Aya is so overwhelmed with relief she kisses Mitsuki on the lips and proposes to her and they get married on the spot and have the coolest ceremony ever.

And then we get a billion chapters of blissful domestic slice of life happiness because that's what they deserve dammit.

edit: my prediction may have gotten away from me just a bit but I'm sticking by everything I said anyways.

Keep feeding ur delusions… this is where greatness is created…

Ooh this is really adorable. I’m sure a lot of people relate to underdog stories, but ones where the main character has all the chops but has hangups and struggles with being unable to perform where it matters… that’s the kind of conflict I need more of.

I also love the way tenderness and knightliness are decoupled from standard gender presentation. Cute feminine girls being knightly, cool girls being gentle and wanting someone to stand up for them… im gonna barf rainbows… that’s too good…

it's silly, but I kinda have the same goal as Kirika.

Rooting for you!

Really, after lone trail’s epic yurikino, this is the only sariasten on dynasty? That’s kind of surprising.

Stoppppp, why was this so cute!!

I don't know how to describe it, but Hiro done and gave me butterflies. Something about complimenting Mai while gently fondling her breast was so precious and delicate.

She was so real about wanting to eat Mai out so bad that she ain't care about herself though, lol.

YEAHHH I’m such a sucked for this kind of pairing and situation. Reserved and tough girl breaking through her own limitations to be all darkly romantic and tender and hungry. You can really feel the way she treasures her in the way the touches were drawn.

This is totally not plot related at all and I thought I was gonna hate the interruption but man. I love these girls so much lol. They're the best. This was some top-shelf adorable yuri. I love the trope of like, when the couple doesn't remember each other, but they're still like, "oh... this person... for some reason, I care about her." I'm a sucker for that lol I eat it up.

what the fuck is going ONNNNNNN

I care them. They're so cute. She's really hot too lol I can't lie...

this is insanely hot lol. I love the recent trend of doing f/f like, porn doujins with a lot of the visual language usually reserved for m/f stuff. It can make things really intense and visceral in a way that's fairly rare for f/f sex doujins.

God damn, that is exactly what i was looking for, ty very much for the food

Ngl props to the artist for making Hinoka one of the prettiest drawn girls I ever seen, literally stunning in almost every panel, honestly cannot blame Tsukushi for being a complete mess about this

Oh my god I know

She’s devastating. We have an A++ handsome masc girl in this manga and still somehow Hinoka steals the show.

Tsukushi is adorable too, so precious… Hijiki’s art is far too powerful. The whole manga rides on their lovestruck expressions and her art carries that weight effortlessly. It’s so good.

Elsa was adorable in this chapter, my batteries are recharged

With regards to the straight vs butch crush thing, one thing I’ll say is that you don’t have to know that person isn’t a man to be attracted to them—often it’s something about the way they move, and act, and inhabit space, that’s sort of instinctually alluring. You can pick up and respond to things about someone’s gender without consciously recognize them.

For example, I have a few strictly lesbian acquaintances IRL who have been really confused and kind of distressed about being attracted to specific men, only for those “men” to later turn out to be trans women. And for my own part, if you show me a picture of a butch, 9 times out of 10 I won’t really feel anything—but if you put us in the same physical space, ho boy do I have a reaction. It’s about the energy, their voice, the way they move and talk—that’s what I respond to.

So it makes total sense to me that Aya is picking up stuff like that from Mitsuki. Consciously she might think, she’s so cool and handsome, what else can she be but a man? But the v i b e s are like “ohhhh wow this person is so attractive.” And then that leaves you with, “I guess I’m just attracted to this one specific man.”

I’m not sure if I’m expressing myself in a way that makes sense, but I hope that gets my point across. I find the premise of Aya’s attraction very plausible. I just wish they’d make some progress…

the size difference is amazing

Thank you kitaku. Very cool.

This whole thing is amazingly hot as usual but I have to give special recognition for Suletta laying her hand against Miorine’s crotch to visually show how much her fingers are gonna fill her. I been saying we need to see hands and fingers in yuri treated with the same reverence and potency as dicks in het porn, and this is exactly what I mean, it’s so good.

Related shoutout to the page where Suletta lays her huge hand on Miorine above her stomach and she starts twitching, presumably at the size and firmness and warmth of it. That’s insanely erotic, and just a reminder of how blessed we are that Kitaku is out here doing their thing.

Not the filler chapters!!

god damn

Oh thank god, the plot is coming back. My faith in the story is being validated. Noblemen are dying. nature is healing.

I haven't checked the older comments, but do we just have two distinct sets of amnesiac commenters? I seem to remember as we were wrapping up the previous arc that the tone of the comments was that the Big Fantasy Plot was getting out of hand, convoluted, and causing tonal whiplash with the fluffy romance elements.

I remember pointing out, with glee, that this arc was just going to be an excuse for fluff and a break from said Big Fantasy Plot. Pertinent at the time was someone pointing out that this whole manhua has always been at odds with itself regarding the plot and the fluff. How are readers not already used to the way this comic is structured?

I think the issue may be that two different sets of commenters have different priorities. For my own part, I'm interested in the story, but I also find the dynamic they have as adults, which we've been adding depth to for like 50+ chapters, to be more interesting.

I've just been reading the titles for this ever since a couple chapters after the "I'm not a guy" reveal at the concert. I was hopeful that reveal (which was what... 35 chapters ago?) would take things in a romantic direction. And then it didn't, despite how much blushing the characters did in those chapters which was entirely some new form of friendship blushing or something.

And then I saw this chapter's title, and was like "did they fuck yet?" and was mildly shocked to learn that they haven't even realized they're in love yet. My god.

I guess at 4 pages a chapter, 59 chapters is like... 8 chapters of some other manga, so I should just continue to temper my expectations until we get into the hundreds I guess?

This is a good point. Everything feels like it's dragging out when you're reading a story week-to-week. But it actually hasn't been that long, all things considered.

I'll agree with the prevailing sentiment, though. This story is starting to give me a familiar unsatisfying vibe to traditional serialized romance manga in the way that it feels like the plot is dragging out and key developments are delayed not necessarily for any artistic purpose, but because of a concern about length.You can drag things out a lot if the stuff that happens in the meantime is interesting. But it really does need a compelling narrative reason and the pacing has been flagging more and more since the reveal.

The story implied by "I just found out my crush is actually a girl, oh shit" was very compelling and it feels like it was replaced by a story about two girls who just really like music bonding. Like, the titular conflict was resolved in Chapter 27. We've now spent more time with that conflict in the rearview mirror than we did with it as the plot. It doesn't feel like a manga called "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All" anymore, it feels like it shot its load and is now hanging around, carried by the art and the author's obvious love for the series and the unique aesthetic and the bond we made with the characters. Frankly, I'm beginning to lose my patience.

the wives...

you're not gonna show us what happened with the manga they were modeling for??
alright...

Yukataro vibes, in the most complimentary way possible.

The author better bring this story back around in the next couple chapters… i’ve noticed a thing in Chinese romance manga stories where they’ll have the characters a basically get together, and then start a huge arc that steps back from that in defiance of all sense of pacing. And it always kills my interest in the story. This one has been so great, I hope it doesn’t lose me…

Oh god that phone call with Rin is everything…
Somehow I missed their previous chapter together and just caught it going back through things, and it’s like peak romance?? Somehow, some of the best yuri I’ve ever read?? It’s just so… sweet and honest and intimate. The emotional history together they were working through was really touching and kind of painful. It’s a peak bully/bullied relationship dynamic, and the way that Itsumi was so honest about being unsure in her feelings was so genuine. I love the way they navigated through that. And the fact that she has a thing about being wanted bc of her emotional neglect, and a thing about being bullied during sex that most likely tracks back to their history together, and the trauma that she experienced… to be able to re-frame that with Rin making her feel wanted, Rin as the traumatizer rewiring the bullying, physically, into something loving and sexual and explicitly consensual…

It’s genuinely beautiful.

I’ve been noticing more and more that this story delivers some really strong, resonant emotional beats. I think part of that comes from the characteristic rawness of Mochi’s work, but I also can’t help but think of a video essay I watched once called Art, Furries, God, about how silliness, baseness, can serve as a sort of self-disarming on the part of the author, removing any sense of pretentiousness or the idea that a work should be received distantly as Art, and thereby allow people to drop their guard and engage with it more closely, and feel its message more strongly, more honestly.

There’s a certain quality in this work and in Watamote, which it reminds me of, where the comedic framing makes the emotional moments more emotional, more real, more impactful. The gay hindbrain food trash setup disarms the story so that when it delivers an emotional moment and comes back to being gay, it feels so sweet and earnest.

There’s something to be said as well about the way this started as a gimmick gag manga and has expanded from there: it evokes the shape of a genre, a shell and a scaffolding and a set of expectations, and then slowly chips away until it shatters it and repurposes the pieces into something new. It created this sense of something new, something unconstrained editorially where anything can happen if it works for the story, for the fiction, and that it won’t run up against the glass wall of genre.

It feels like leaving your comfort zone, like stepping into something new—eager and earnest and daunted by possibility. It feels vulnerable—it feels, in fact, much like you do when you’re just figuring out your way in your first relationship, and you don’t know what’s going to happen.

I think this story is incredible. And I think it has the potential to be even more. Much like the characters, I’m both nervous and excited to see what happens next.

aaaanyway, loving the chapter. Love me some hot sapphic vampire blood drinking. Love some deep, irresistible gothic urge to bite her neck and make her legs twitch. love me some erotic reactions to vampire tooth kisses. love the delicious clash of consent and instinct and autonomy and ideal and desire. love the emotional hurt.

lesbian vampires are so kino and I really needed that reminder to help my mental state thank you much for the free therapy!

loved cut-licking in this one. God, her expression of desire and like wounded pride... vampires are hot when they're overwhelmingly strong and make your knees buckle, but also when their instinctive need for blood is a pretty red leash around their neck that an otherwise weaker character can pull around to control them. I haven't been able to get my fix since Gunbured X Sisters had an unfortunate encounter with fate, and I'm so glad to see this story showing that it's Based and ready to show up for the sapphic vampire lovers. Clearly the author really wants to write a lot of Vampire Stuff, which is a welcome surprise given that in the initial oneshot vampirism was sort of just a vehicle for the immortality plot. Although, now that I think about it with hindsight, it could actually be that the oneshot was about exploring the Potential to Turn Your Partner part of the vampire drama, and the fact that immortality was delivered through vampirism was less of an incidental detail than I'd previously imagined.

NE way im excited for them to have gay bloody angsty vampire sex now more than ever.
