Wow, this manga is stupid, not even in a fun way.

maybe time to drop it then. or keep hate-reading it since that's of course your God-given right too ^ ^

I'm having a blast, personally. It's not really any more out there than Sorry But I'm Not Into Yuri, when you think about it

I feel like this one is being scrutinized more because of how purportedly "problematic" it is. even though for 'Sorry I'm Not Into Yuri', if you were to actually pick it apart instead of treating it lightheartedly as a gag-manga (as most readers are hopefully doing), then it certainly has a lot of iffy elements too underneath all the wackiness

I will say though it's had quite a strong start in chapter 1 & 2 in terms of art quality, story, and even page-count. then it kinda dwindled tbh. it's probably not uncommon for a new manga to go "all-out" when starting off though, so there's that.

hahaha what the fuck ever man I'm along for this crazy ride

I was gonna say Kitano's best girl license is revoked but then I remembered I also support women's wrongs

"she's stroking her hair so much it looks sharp as a blade..." has got to be one of the compliments of all time

wish I could join the discussion but I really just don't care about this one one way or the other, not the art, characters, or story. that being said I'll probably still read new chapters & keep up with the forum, seems to be more interesting than the work itself at this point. might even get some cool insights & perspectives, or just make for some entertainment at the very least

who knows, maybe the manga'll be more engaging later on

someone who's not been paying attention to the lore at all and is more just skimming over the prettily drawn pages (me): woah anyone else getting madohomu vibes from this chapter?

^the scanlator right now, probably

I know moderators won't fix the tags sadly but I suggested it anyway.

the mods literally will change the tags per discussion with scanlators & readers, in this aspect they deserve some credit. heck I saw a new tag in real time created because of this

At this point I'm convinced ElPsyKongroo chooses what to scanlate based on how much fighting it would cause in the comments.

uhm...

hahaha yes girl chase your bliss

-[Morally] it is disgusting
-[Legally] it's questionable
-[Personally] I like it.

[Morally] it's completely alright because it's fiction
[Legally] it actually depends but even in strict places that criminalize fictional works this one's probably fine too (but as we all learned anything that can be illegal must be immoral, so)
[Personally] yeah I do like it, along with all of NMI's works, even that yandere robit one.

UH OH, Riko
(also the boyfriend line lol she's so quick with it)

People conflating romantic feelings and horniness isn't anything new.

It's like people can't fathom falling in love and not having any sexual thoughts.

I think for the purpose of age of consent IRL if you were to just apply commonly romantic gestures that does not involve sex such as kissing & snuggling with a super wide age gap such as the work depicted here it'd still be very problematic at best. of course in terms of feelings not acted upon anyone's free to think and feel literally anything, not just fictional characters but real people too. thoughtcrime is not a thing no matter how some people earnestly insist it is.

at the end of the day though this is just a piece of fiction. its tone by this point has made it very clear that it's painting this relationship in a cute and positive light despite Riko's supposed struggles. anyone has every right to not be okay with that, and I guess keep making their grievances known even though IMO the polite thing is to just see oneself out at this point.

SO GOOD! so glad we're getting content focusing on all five idol girls and their past

So Nagi likes Tear. That isn't my goggles speaking

doomed yuri?!

also I think Dorothy's art style has shifted back to the one I personally like the most. there's some middle chapters where everybody has looked more "bishounen" (for the lack of better terms) to me. but even then it's easy to tell the artist didn't get lazy at all, she's just trying out new styles. or maybe it naturally & subtly shifted as the manga went on.

mangas like this always make me root for the bully to win, not by resuming their lame-ass bullying again like before but win in the more important way

sadly it's almost never the case since the top & bottom in most works are never reversed. let people be vers I say!

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/theres_no_way_i_could_love_you
if anyone's looking for that sorta stuff this work kinda delivers (only the last 2 pages but I'll take it, and I thought it was nice)

(fair warning: check the tags out and "dead dove: do not eat" as usual, or read it, hate it, and complain in the forum about the things that's clearly tagged, that's everybody's right too, freedom of speech and all that.)

The author, Chise, is purely a writer. The artists assigned to her works have lots of flaws. The Bully one is fine with people; this artist has left out people's legs.

the artist in this particular manhua does seem to be taking shortcuts whenever possible. I actually really like their particular art style at least in places where they're remotely trying.

I am not sure if I want to follow this. This is way too shounen for me.

lol, yeah, fair. it is literally published in the "shonen champion" magazine, after all.

somehow Girly dressing up as the Jersey Devil didn't even feel as stupid as Eru's big reason and his "rousing speech" on why he must find a girlfriend. maybe it's just cuz it's established quite early on that Girly will go to ridiculous lengths, bumbling or otherwise, to try and make people around him happy.

I for one am glad the chapter just straight up went "just be the signboard girl you dumbass", even though the set-up was very obvious already. that Girly went at lengths to praise Eru for being cute is kinda a bonus.

"She's way out of your league, pegasus boy!" lmfao you tell him kid!

With the sex update they can also go beyond cuddling

"sex update" sounds so much like a joke yet is just actually canon in the most literal & not-up-to-interpretation way, which I think makes it funnier

also I thought after watching the show I would come to appreciate this ship more than just "wow such pretty & cute artworks" but that's still basically where I'm at. though there are a couple of meaningful & gentle interactions on the show between them so I'll take what crumbs I can get.

"are they standing outside Pomni's room?!"

that would be really funny but it's probably just a archway inside the public space (note how tall it is). after all their individual rooms' door are all rectangular.

Adorable. Go get yer girl, kid! Get those corner combos

"and all unbreakable right now, all unbreakable. stop. STOP!"
while I personally enjoy seeing Riko continue to get tormented by Aika thus she's probably going to make a stand soon.

I'm a bit disappointed by the apparent direction. The initial setup of "I'm into little girls, that sucks and I'm trying to cope" was pretty interesting. Having an 8 year old 'fall' for her reduces the realism and undermines the premise.

I've also no idea where this manga ultimately will land on. like you said it's an interesting premise but even since the early chapters from the way Aika is drawn in specific focused panels (and including this very newest chapter) it seemed to go against that premise at least from the author's intent. though to be fair Riko has gotten some focused panels like this too, so.

@johnb ??? isn't it obvious they'd rather people not doing it at all, a.k.a. aged up or not, NOT sexualized?

anyways, 67, haha, lol! (I will say the funniest part of these shitty gen Z & gen alpha memes is just how some genuine grown-ass adults get so pissed off at them)

Also nice subtle Gangle x Zooble on the first page.

I just recently binged the series, can't believe Zooble actually got what they wanted in such an explicit way, LMFAO. and just to clear any possible doubt as to who it is the door next to their room is ajar.

anyways, great RagaPom comic! DreamSyndd's art is just so lovely as usual.
