^ BiliBili Global app was shut down, but original BiliBili still exists.

And it's still absolutely massive in its home country (China).

Anyway, this looks like it could be fun. I wonder if it's romantic comedy or something more serious.

I'm more interested in why the honor student propositioned the asexual idiot than anything

It may have something to do with the short-haired blonde private tutor she had once had but not anymore.

According to manga, just about half the Japanese lesbians have their sexual awakening with their private tutor (usually teaching piano).

Sometimes misogyny in a society in a story can be way over the top, but I usually buy it in a colonization Sci-Fi setting like this.

When you have a limited number of ships and a limited number of resources, it does make sense that many social norms would be discarded (often too many). I imagine they have very strict regulations on population control, for example.

I honestly think there's at least a little bit of pilot bias in the society that's also stacking with the misogyny to make things as twisted as they are. Even Diode sometimes does her own thing without looking for advice from Terra. And yes, you can't have the pilot playing 50 questions while flying, but multiple times so far, Terra's insight has proven to be key when they eventually do start communicating.

I'm curious what Junko's up to

Dating 20-year-old kids

Which, while that isn't super great, it's not -that- awful. 30 to 20 is a much more righteous age gap than some of the stuff you hear about, like 56 to 18.

And no I don't think we need an armchair historian to describe how this tragic lesbian story is supposed to be some takedown of "le evil red china" either.

Yeah that person posts an essay about the Chinese revolution and how the story symbolizes how awful things are there now on every single story that involves China in any way these days.

Personally, I suspect they have some weird trauma relating to that and are using the Dynasty forums as a method of writing therapy.

It's odd, but as long as it doesn't derail the comments too much it usually doesn't bother me.

This was a good chapter.

what money back? are you the one blind or something? how will she get it back? wait for the bitch to return it? she CLEARLY has no intention of doing that shit, so leaving and stop the whole thing was the best solution for her!

the ending wasn’t as sad as people think it is, she got over her abandonment issues and never fall in love again so that doesn’t seem to be an awful ending

Some people would rather not be alone until their dying day. Those people would likely find it quite sad.

It depends on what type of person you are. For me, every mistake, every trauma, and every scar is an additional weight on your psyche that never goes away. For somebody like me, repeatedly dating to find happiness would be equivalent to repeatedly stabbing myself to try to find happiness. It would be sheer idiocy.

I get the impression that the MC is the exact same way, and the ending of this story was the point when she realized the same thing.

Omegaverse is wild. When they talk about glands and stuff it feels like a scifi story.

Question at the ABO experts. Alphas can impregnate Omegas, right? Do Alphas always have a penis or how does it work in this universe? Wondering how the girl can just hide the bulge while wearing a bikini.

Most ABO stories have alphas always having a penis and omegas always having a vagina.

This story seems to follow that rule, as well. It actually took me like 2-3 reads to notice it, but there's a certain scene where it is obvious.

Watch her hands in the bottom panel on this page: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/your_scent_is_a_little_sweet_ch05#3

There's really only one explanation for that pose lol.

this is way too depressing in my opinion but i like her resolve. altho if it was a guy who said "i will kill her" well, y'all wouldn't be so enthusiastic about this plot

Honestly, I think I still would be. I think the author does a good job portraying how this girl became a leech on someone's heart. I don't even care if she stole the money because there was a sick relative or something.

What she's done and how's she done it are unforgivable to me.

I like how she freaks out on the final page over "eat out" being used.

I was so worried Miyako would break up with Ayako to "protect" her. I'm so glad they didn't go down that route.

Also what stage is their relationship right now. They've dated for months now, are sharing a bed, and taking baths together. But I don't think I've seen them kiss once yet. Is it implied to have happened off screen?

They're a couple, that's all.

There's no need for more.

Yeah, I'm confused too lol. I mean sure, they're a couple but after a while you'd start wondering if you haven't kissed like, does this person even like me? are they asexual? what's going on? I'm here waiting for the kiss like o__O

Asako at least has had sex with her past girlfriend according to https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/maitsuki_niwatsuki_ooyatsuki_ch14#8. ("She cheated on me! She said I was 'the Tuesday girl'!")

I think the reasonable conclusion is that they're intimate with each other, just off screen.

I'm okay with love triangles unless they're like... SUPER ambiguous. Like... the type where the cover of the manga for all volumes is 3 characters (not 2 like this one), and the protagonist waffles back and forth between the two so frequently you think a poly ending is actually possible (but it still almost never is). Lots of good examples of this but they're almost all manhwa (well, South Korean webtoons).

Even then I can read it and enjoy it, but I have to read the ending first, and then go back and read the series. Reading the ending lets me brace myself emotionally for the correct route, so I'm not going to end up super pissed or angsty about not getting the ending "I wanted" because of a natural reading order.

Anyway, this manga is not that. The relationship was very clearly signposted in about 20 different ways, so while it sucks to be Jun, she'll grow up and find somebody else (probably somebody better, since that seems to be a pretty low bar).

During the first dozen chapters, I was SUPER invested in this manga. I would debate character motivations in these comments quite a lot and agonize over unclear stuff. The manga was more like a train wreck I couldn't look away from.

These days, I read the chapter, have a good laugh over whatever crazy shit the author is pulling this time, and then move on with a smile on my face.

Something definitely changed along the way, at least for me.

They've been teasing the amnesia for an incredible amount of chapters, then do it all right away, not slowly, haha.

Yeah, I wasn't sure I liked the pacing of that decision either.

I think the author might have caved to comments when writing the story originally - at least if the Chinese comments were anything like the English ones, people were really distressed by the last half a dozen chapters or so.

I wonder if the author just sped up the last bit of the amnesia so they could get to the "cute couple dates for the 'first time'" arc.

That what this series is for me after 2 volumes. It's slow, but not special. Nothing new here.

I think there's value to this kind of slow-burn romance, especially in a coming-of-age story like this one.

Not every series needs the leads banging by chapter 7. That said, those types of series are typically more my speed.

Really hope this is "hes a trans man w/o top surgery" and not.. any other option... besides maybe they are misgendering a trans fem character and eventually they will stop doing that

I'm inclined to think Yang is transmasc due to how accepting and queer friendly Peach Town (or at least Mu Xiaoen's bubble within it) has been shown to be so far. Like they have a conversation specifically about how these gendered terms are more important socially than they are strict biological tags, right? Somebody does not need to be your AFAB biological older sibling to be a Jiejie. So surely the labels can be flexible in other ways as well, like respecting the gender of your trans little brother.

Maybe I'm overly cynical but I'm inclined to think exactly the opposite in this case for the same second reason you used. The thing you mentioned with non-family using familial terms is normal in China (and most East Asian or Southeast Asian cultures), or at the least it's very normal in manhua in particular. I've seen many where this happens. Sometimes another character will ask for an explanation of why they use this term for that person, but half of the time I feel that's purely for the reader's sake.

And this flexibility in familial terms does -not- typically extend to other things like sexual orientations or gender identity in places like China (or most East Asian or Southeast Asian cultures). It's obvious for us to connect the extension of one term to the potential extension of others, but it's probably not obvious for the author. I also think that authors in these environments are focusing on inclusiveness but for a sort-of selfish reason - they're often including themselves. A decent chunk of Yuri writers in Japan are lesbians, for example (not even remotely all of them, likely not even 25%, but it seems to be a sizeable minority, especially amongst amateur writers). Writing can be escapism, or it can be intentionally writing something you know is escapism-ish for a community in need of it.

But maybe I'm not giving the author enough credit. We shall see.

Whatever their gender is, I already love our new chaotic gremlin.

Also agreed!

I like it so far. Like others have said, there's little new ground being tread here, but this is still Yuri. Just because this concept has been done before, it doesn't mean I couldn't still do with more of it.

This isn't Yaoi, where for every concept under the Sun you can name at least 50 series.

Kind of hard to say decisively what's up with our protagonist, but after this chapter it seems like she really likes to be genuinely complimented (probably because her family doesn't do it) and doesn't get jealous. She's looking at these traits through the lens of "my shoujo characters don't act like this", which is a little weird to me but I suppose wanting to fit in is pretty normal and very teen.

All the space in this manga dedicated to the past, which then has no bearing at all on the ending, is very odd.

I was surprised to see how MangaDex's comments section is absolutely dominated for calls for this to have a poly ending. Some of the calls for that have almost 100 upvotes, which is pretty wild.

It made me really curious what separates this manga from others with love triangles where you don't see that type of behavior in the comments. I think it's probably because the least likely corner of the triangle (Diana, the one not in the title) is so hard to dislike. She's earnest, straightforward, and fairly relatable (a teen girl having a very obvious crush on another girl who is oblivious). Since you can't see an obvious "Natori + Diana" only outcome, Diana fans hope for poly, I guess?

Typically, most love triangles I read are manhwa with much higher stakes and where most of the characters are very manipulative. The comments on those stories are generally like "X is a bitch and should die". Nobody is calling for a poly ending there, lol.

Anyway, when you get down to analyzing things, Natori hasn't shown any romantic or sexual interest in any character. I wouldn't even be surprised if she was ace. Obviously, the OTP is Lapis + Diana. Let's go!

Very cathartic chapter. "Power couple" is the only way to describe them. :-)

Also, I no longer think that the Witch is future!Elsa. She has shown her face to Evie and she didn't recognize her, so it must be someone else. My bet is on Olivia, based solely on the shape of her hair (even if the color doesn't match).

We were shown her face too :P
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/please_bully_me_miss_villainess_ch61#6

Yea, she sure looks like Elsa, but it throws me off that Evie wouldn't recognize the love of her life from up close.

I wouldn't rely on the "shown her face" logic. You may hate it, but it's a common story trend to have these hoods or masks that don't work properly for the reader but do for the characters involved. We should assume all Evie sees in that hood is darkness.

we are so back (also i saw ooc leaks and i thought we'd just get a random teenage marriage proposal this chapter. makes more sense now lmao)

I mean, she did intentionally put the ring on her left ring finger it looked like. She could have picked any finger she wanted to, and she knows exactly what the significance of what she did is. I'm not saying she's proposing or anything, but she's clearly being romantic by doing that.

Wow. This must have taken an enormous amount of effort!

It took me halfway through it to realize this was an April Fools joke by the scanlators and not by the actual author.

Trying to find the manga about a Spider girl who forms a harem to repopulate her species. It starts with a "10/10 confession" to a popular girl who turns out to be a demon hunter.

Seems like this manga is less about the supernatural stuff, which appears to be a framework for letting the characters become better people by letting go of their inhibitions.

This is nearly at WTF Am I Reading levels, lol.
