ah it turns out the schemes run deeper than anyone realized. Very fun little twist to "redeem" jiujin without feeling cheap. She did just still kill that guy after all. He's just not who we thought.

and the agency of the enslaved people is maintained because even if she had planned to introduce the idea, it was the enslaved kids themselves who took the initiative.

My guess is that she is actually trying to slip the antidote in, but jiujin is going to deepen the kiss in order to reject the antidote to keep that worm in her

reminds me of my dearest nemesis in all the good ways, this is gonna be fun

oooh this art style is gorgeous, and they've got a really good handle on not just characters but backgrounds and panel composition too! Love a good supernatural mystery, I'm on board

Anyways, love seeing the party cousin lol, I hope she gets a girlfriend too that can match her energy. I always love a college romance

So I understand that authors put placeholder names for the university like "University H" presumably to avoid misrepresenting the university, among other reasons; and I'm sure there's works out there that put the university the author went to. What I wonder is if there's any manhua out there that explicitly name a university they have a vendetta against to misrepresent them. Like "damn University G didn't accept me, I'm going to portray you nastily in my manhua!" or something. Like Dante's Inferno-type callout except not Italian, not about hell, and not really like it at all except that one aspect now that I think about it.

In reality isn't it just cuz there's a billion universities across the country, and most of the irl ones are gonna be named for the city they're located in? And if you don't plan to set your story in that city explicitly, it's probably easier to just use a basic name like H university.

Really interested to see where this goes. You don't often see this kind of more grounded SoL series in manhua, so I'm looking forward to seeing more.

gilf yuri will save the world

So both sisters were gay? Hopefully her older sister was able to run away as well.

It seems like she stayed to run the family because her longtime maid was the one she was with anyways

This is incredible, one of my new favorite one shots of all time. The layers of implications, especially around the sister also being in love with another woman, are so rich and compelling. The Nobu and Tamao have such great chemistry together as well, but I think the sister's mindset in all of this makes the story feel so different on a second read through. Not many people can tell a story with this much depth and richness in meaning, in just a short story.

I was actually gonna recommend Water, Coloured as well for another great work featuring an older woman.

what a girlboss tho fleeing the country with a rich heiress and a whole lot of stolen money? gotta be one of the best ways to live lol

That was hot

Also, took her first time (with a woman) and dipped? Come on bruh

I found the apology silly at the end. Do ppl really get upset at this?

Considering how much sexism there is against women in male dominated fields like finance, and the stereotype of women sleeping their way to the top, I understand why she wanted to put a footnote in, even if its a little bit silly.

So far I'm not really sold on the premise here. It's interesting and well illustrated, but something about the protagonist wanting to fight fate and it also being a very obvious romance with an end goal just doesn't gel with the characters.

I think that the idea of a world where romance is supposedly absolute, and a girl who hates that and longs to dispell the idea entirely, is pretty compelling (especially since she's queer). But the upshot of this story seems to be clearly building towards the protagonist learning to accept her fate instead. It feels like a weird way to tell the story, and is one of those series where even though it's yuri, it feels like it lacks the bite of an actual queer narrative. The total lack of homophobia, or even the fact that every single other couple we've seen in the story that does have the red string has been straight, just makes the plot feel a little lifeless.

It reminds me of when a character says something along the lines of "Idk if I like women or not, I just like you" and how we're expected to see that as a romantic gesture I guess? But it always reads as kinda shallow to me.

I'm biased because I've always been a little put off by soulmate tropes, but this series feels like it set itself up to critique the idea of soulmates, but then decided to just play it straight

I'm looking forward to the author's next work!

MioSule agenda AND a full on gundick??? We are being spoiled today

now that wakana knows what's up I think she's gonna go on the attack with leda

I think it would be ok for the mom to tell Mu Xiaoen that she's open to having a connection again, but it's not up to her if Mu Xiaoen wants to have that connection with her.

This chapter also has big implications for Shi Xingyuan and how she's going to deal with her own family. At minimum she knows Mu Xiaoen's whole town would fight for her, and I think that's beautiful.

I think if Mu Xiaoen is open to having that connection then she gets to be the one to make the first move tbh. I think that's what Shi Xingyuan was getting at.

Likewise very interested to see how this shapes Shi Xingyuan's arc, which seems like it might very well head in the same direction.

i feel like theres a lot more miosule content out there in these newer doujins, im a big fan

This is so impossibly good, I want 10 volumes of this XP The author does a tremendous job of staying true to the characters , nothing feels even a little off. This is exactly how I imagine it would go.

Agreed, this is a remarkably well done depiction of how each of them would actually feel about physical intimacy, and I feel like Suletta having a bit of a foot fetish after meeting Miorine is practically canon with the way Miorine's legs and feet are always emphasized in the show haha

Wonder what that ghosts DS username is

someone should change their profile pic to the ghost

Great timing on the chapter I was literally rereading last night thinking about them

PEDO ALERT WEEWOO WEEWOO

So when the boy is interested in the teacher, suddenly she's a pedo?

I don't think she has any romantic, or even sexual, interest in him. She's probably going to play and try to break him out of envy.

of course we can give her the benefit of doubt here since she hasn't physically "laid hands on" her student yet, but by all accounts her reaction to the confession in chapter 14, and her suggestive phrasing in chapter 13, seem to indicate that she is interested and planning to do so. This series doesnt shy away from sexuality so I don't expect there to be a fakeout

alright everyone will this character be box cutters or sunfl-

oh wait wrong series

we need more lesbian parenting arcs in fiction

theres a lot to unpack with how mao and nina view each other, and how mao just isn't able to be fully present with nina because of her internalized body dysmorphia.

maybe rin just becomes her new sister and they all kiss each other
