This is one of those stories that's stuck with me ever since I finished reading it. I happened to look at the author's pixiv page, and it seems like they've begun writing their own eromanga doujins and publishing them online. It actually made me kinda emotional to see them getting into eromanga after having read this series.

you can tell that this series is close to the author's own heart, and something they're very passionate about, so it made me happy to see their own development in this space.

This is such a convincing portrayal of someone who has it really bad. Somehow despite yuri being fundamentally a romance genre, I feel like that kind of thing is pretty rare. It makes me realize that maybe there’s a bit of a formula for this kind of thing that even many really good series seem to follow. I’m really enjoying this slow meditation on what it looks and feels like to catch big feelings for someone. The little daydream she had was particularly nice.

I think Touma has a real talent for the intense feelings of pining and wanting someone and how it's not all flower petals and sparkles. It's embarrassing, it's intimate, it makes you feel gross sometimes, and it is easy to fall into an almost delusional state over the emotional high you get from thinking about and being with that person.

It's one of the strengths of Some Prefer Nettles as well

Hesha reminds me a lot of Nanami from revolutionary girl utena

It's peak I'm afraid. This shit is so funny, good luck Ruruna you better sooth Yura's soul enough that shes clambering to climb into bed as well

these two have pretty good chemistry, i initially thought this was all we were getting im glad this is ongoing

It's kind of really funny for Jing Xiu to go "oh by the way i'm literally the reason you're in this situation apologies but also let me explain"

Ah... eto.... Bleh :p

This manga is like edging

xiaoyang save ur sibling

futami is fucking crazy, holy emotional manipulation batman. i looooove this

manga editors are scary, this is great keep going

The author did it once again. These photo album collages always hit hard

This is an interesting concept. You don't have that many time travel series in yuri despite a few famous examples.

This is a really strong start, im looking forward to seeing more.

the blonde princess was really meetcute farming by choosing not to speak the bandit's language huh

yes and shes iconic for that

Wild ride from start to finish

Honestly, was Ruruna ever even a human lol this way of thinking is way too much lol.

Well, in typical Ruruna fashion, shes failed so spectacularly that it might actually break through the stalemate between Yura and Wakana

I’m very interested in where this will go. I have a feeling that things won’t be as simple as “quit the rental girlfriend gig and get together”. We’ve seen this type of rental gf work in yuri before, but typically not outside of one shots and shorter series so I’m looking forward to this

Pg 33 “weel, ‘seeing is believing’ as they say.

So, anyone know what's the joke with Yazawa?

yazawa yay!

porn, driving, voting. Not a bad summary of adulthood

this is a spicy pairing. It also makes me think about how crazy a fraw bow mc version of 0079 would have gone

this chapter was so well done. This case file was my favorite in volume 5 (or 6 tbh) its just such an important moment of catharsis

Maybe it's already obvious for some people but I'm guessing the twist is that Emma's unrequited love is Suzu herself and so she's taking advantage of Suzu's heartbreak to do this fake dating scheme.

oh for sure, that's why she refused to immediately start fucking despite Suzu being fine with it lmao

I think part of what makes the story feel so fresh, besides just having really solid character writing, is that theyre so open about their relationship. Secret relationships are a staple for yuri, and rightfully so for many reasons, but its nice to see a couple who can just be loud and proud to tell everyone within earshot that theyre dating constantly.

the anime has been continually surprising me with how much love and effort is put into everything. The whole Miko epilogue and song blew me away.

It seems a bit more like "a monster wants to feed me" rather than "a monster wants to eat me"

us disgusting people gotta stick together

The connections we have with one another stifle and suffocate us, and so does living without any connection at all. This is potent.
