The girl she thought was a guy works at a CD store...
A CD store... I'm so mad at how funny I find what almost certainly wasn't even an intentional joke. And that it didn't even hit me until this far in the story.

The bottomphobia in this community is truly appalling. Even popular public figures have to hide when they're a bottom now.

Momo wasn't flat enough, Shamiko wasn't short enough, literally unreadable /jk

I literally watched the relevant episode for this like a few hours before seeing that this was here, so that was fun. More here for the flirting than anything. Let Shamiko have Momo's tummy.

Three things make characters in fiction likable: attractiveness, competence, and drive.

No clue what you're on about, lazy disasters make for phenomenal characters. And personally I'd rather have characters meet less conventional beauty standards.

As The immaculate has pointed out, you have just supported my point by expressing a personal attraction towards coupled with a liking of "lazy disasters" who "meet less conventional beauty standards". :-)

EDIT: It occurs to me that "likability" and "attractiveness" are too close to distinguish their meanings, so let me restate my thesis: To be interesting, a fictional character needs to have one or more of following qualities: attractiveness (or relatability), competence, and motivation. If a character is neither attractive (to the reader), not competent at what they do, nor motivated to do it, very few will want to read about them. (That a lot of readers find incompetent and unmotivated characters attractive or relatable implies something about the former, I suspect.)

You've assumed that incompetent/unmotivated characters are interesting to me because i find the traits attractive/relatable. I put forward instead that incompetence or laziness can be interesting traits for a fictional character without either being true. Characters with those traits being thrown into situations they aren't equipped for can be an interesting, or at the very least funny, story, even when those traits are exaggerated past the point of being relatable or attractive to most.

With the definition of attractiveness you're using though, it really seems like it can be stretched to include anything, to the point where your statement becomes "to be interesting a character must have literally any trait someone likes. Also here are two traits that I think make a character good even if you don't like the traits" and I'm not even sure the second part is completely true. Mary Sues are wildly considered to be a terrible trope despite almost inherently being competent and motivated. You kind of might be taking what you care for in a character and treating it as a universal truth.

"They're lgbt"
"What? All at once?"
"Yes"

Oh good lord,that stupid verse again.

Just so the folks here understand why it's stupid,one must note the origins of this,the wolf hierarchy.

Wow :o I can't believe people used to think same sex wolves could have offspring if one was dom enough. /j

I totally realize that's not what you're saying, but at the same time, omegaverse stuff is so far removed from those wrong concepts that I don't really see how them being wrong is a legit criticism of omegaverse. It's like almost as weird as criticizing vampire stuff because it doesn't match up with bat behavior.

My personal opinions on it is that the concept of having sex go along multiple axes is potentially a lot of fun, and I'd like to read stuff that takes that in interesting directions, but I'm usually not willing to sift through a ton of mediocre smut to get there.

The credit page took no prisoners. I have the sequel already in my head... it's sweaty and clumsy.

That's where the sequel to one shots belongs tho. Or you could make it yourself. Stories only end when you let them

This manga continues to hit uncomfortably close to home. Although I didn't get to the runaway stage because we had the "I don't want to die" conversation right when we brought it up. Hope their ending is happier than mine was.

  1. Polycule. The only true solution for a love triangle

the worst one also

By definition the only anything will also be the worst.

Anyway another happy ending is that they both just get over senpai and decide being together works out for both of them.

The method I grew up with was holding your breath and thinking about your crush, so this pretty much works for that lol

I feel like this’ll be educational to all girls who lack real knowledge about their boobs and bras

Probably insofar as "maybe I should look into this", but I'd be wary taking whatever edification this manga does as gospel ... ^^;

I mean it's pretty much accurate so far. Like don't just take random info from manga, or pretty much any singular source as fact, but aside from the specifics of sizing varying around the world everything here is fine.

Reminds me of the talk in r/abrathatfits , holy land

Same~ was really eye opening seeing how completely off the sizing I got from a store was.

Every time a fujoshi gets pissy about who the top in their OTP is, I personally top both the characters. I don't care that they're fictional, I don't care that they're guys. Gonna have to get back into drawing just for this.

The fact that out of every chapter in this story, this is the one that triggered ptsd symptoms for me, is going to make me die laughing. I honestly love this manga, it's the worst

scared of being surrounded by stone butches

You respect your local butches dammit. They don't have to be your type but butches are wonderful and need to be protected and welcomed.

10 years old with DD's? Come on, that's something you find in hentai. I'm all for the suspension of disbelief, but this is ridiculous. Less than 1% of women in the US have D cups or bigger, and we're expected to believe that a preteen girl has bigger bazongas than the average adult female?

What. I mean I didn't bother looking into it more but literally googling "what is the average cup size in US" gives 34DD. Probably not 100% accurate but I'm definitely not willing to believe "less than 1% of women in the US have D or bigger", like D is not absurdly big or anything.

As for the characters in the manga, it's clearly trying to present extremes. Is a girl who looks like that at age 10 likely? No. Is a girl that looks like that at age 10 physically possible? Probably. Have you really never met a girl that hit puberty earlier than everyone else? It doesn't seem like the biggest stretch to me.

I wonder if my gf would enjoy anal stuff. I know I'll try while she's in a situation where she absolutely can't communicate her opinions on it to me...
Alternatively: eats your ass in front of our friends to assert dominance

Nothing brings a young couple together like sex before dating, having it constantly and indulging your kinks!

This but unironically. Not gonna pretend it's healthy, but it's great for if you just wanna double down on obsession.

Is there a point to this even continuing. They got together sooo whats the motivation to keep being invested. There needs to be a new conflict.

Things don't have to have points or directions or meaningful conflict. Sometimes a story can just be mindless fluff. If that isn't for you hopefully you'll be able to find what you want elsewhere, but it is something some people like.

Oh, how interesting, hope it turns into a poly relationship instead of a love triangle~

I don't think Little Sis has any intentions to go in between them.

But my god, how stupid can she get ? You spank your little sister in front of her and now you're embarassed that if she found out you read a wholesome Yuri story ? Not to mention, "I want a relation like that" 5 minutes later "lol let's walk you like a dog". Just make your mind.

I mean sometimes life goes in weird directions. In high school if was easier to lead my friend around on a leash than it was to admit I liked them lmao. And I absolutely would have been embarrassed were I caught reading sappy love stories instead of edgy horror stuff by said person. (thankfully I'm much less hung up about some things now)

I still don't get the logic of a woman throwing herself at man after man, when she is trying to move on from a one sided love with another woman. It just seems at one point she would think to herself "I can't seem to connect with any of the guys I date, and I'm still hung up on my female best friend. Could I possibly be a lesbian"?

In plenty of parts of the world, attitudes towards lgbt folk are still negative enough that a lot of the time you just don't consider it a possibility. I have heard a woman tell another woman that "all women have fantasies about sleeping with their friends" as evidence that woman 2 wasn't bi. Heteronormativity is rough.

I'm really not sure how you'd get the sex of a cat wrong. They don't exactly try to hide it. :|

Perhaps she didn't get it wrong. Maybe cat body and human body are completely unrelated. Also maybe she didn't see anything related to that and just went off of Subaru's voice or word choices

I conceptually appreciate that this is a story about someone telling the person they're manipulating everything about how they're going to manipulate them, but also showing porn to a minor is a pretty yikes thing for it to be about, even if the other character is also underage.

ok now that turn creepy real quick. i mean wotttttttttttttttt ?!!!! who does that ?!! there's a high chance you're gonna creep someone out from homosexsual relationship by doing that rather than make them accept it

I agree, I mean as a gay person if someone forced me to read het manga everyday i would hate it so much
Fuwa is already very attractive, she doesn't have to do lame shit like that to make her fall for her :/

I mean as another gay person even with all the extra fucked up implications of a straight person trying to make me straight, I would still accept hard cash from a rich homophobe for listening to him try and convert me a couple hours a day and consuming god awful straight media.

But yeah, this is pretty much massive creep behavior unless the next 5 chapters are about how creep girl overheard straighty saying nothing but repressed lesbian lines every day of class before the plot started. And even then it's definitely a creep way to handle it, but I get the idea at least

Vive la Lesbiennesistance is what happened to me after a week of Yuri. I am now lesbian. Which I believe is called straight since I'm also a guy.

Me in high school before I knew that gender is the game where everything is made up and the points don't matter and I can just be a girl.

God, so much flufff, not an ideal ending, and definitely shallow in parts. There's a lot of them coming to terms with jealousy and dealing with the realities of polyamory that I would have liked to have seen, but I enjoyed it a ton all the sake

i dont like the ending. author really did go to the trio relationship (or luminous=blue route). dont judge me, just didnt like it. like bro, just choose one person. again, disgusting ending. didnt like it.

Like I get that's its not your thing and don't have issue with that, but calling it disgusting a sentence after saying you don't want to be judged is pretty :/ like you know poly lesbians in happy relationships exist right?
