It'd be funny if the manga was only renewed for one or two more volumes so we could get a training montage instead of a full arc (just so I can imagine Eye of the Tiger playing over sex scenes)

Don't even imply this, I will cry if this manga ever ends there's so much potential for peak yet to come. I need at least 10 more volumes, this will be the One Piece of yuri

That panel of just Sayaka's eyes felt so electric. She is fr best girl.

Those little panels and tension building scenes are what make the sex scenes in this series so much better than anything else. The author really knows how to set the mood instead of just nonstop lewd pictures and fluids

Asumi is such a gigachad, she always plans the best dates. I swear the thing this author does best is build tension, so many other manga would just jump straight into the sex scenes skipping the best part which is the build up, but she always depicts the tension before really well with scenes like the silent blushing cab ride to the hotel. To me those details make it so much spicier and most mangakas neglect them.

The depictions of those lizards seemed way too realistic to actual species and hobby keeping for itsuki kuro to not be into reptile pet keeping irl. That's so fun, I love that the lesbian brothel mangaka is also a big fan of herpetology

lesbians love reptiles I can confirm this is true

Absolute peak from cover to cover I'm glad I finally fished this out of my to read list. We desperately need more loving polyamory stories they're always so enjoyable and heartwarming

this is a genuinely incredible chapter, the main manga is just kind of dumb fun but this one immediately grabbed me when I got to it. The storytelling is so good for just a short one off and the atmosphere and emotional notes are conveyed so well. This page is so evocative

I can only believe this is leading to the harem route

Yeah this is definitely a harem manga, looking forward for the sex party lmao

I really hope it goes for the full poly route, like instead of harem never committing to anyone, she just has a tangled relationship web with several of the girls. We have so few good poly stories that aren't just a one off threesome doujin but every time I see one that's actually done seriously its peak.

There's so much free real estate left in the story that hasn't been explored yet. Asumi x Mai, will Asumi give up seeing the brothel girls if she does get into a relationship, Nanao meeting Mai, Nanao getting into brothels herself, Nanao/Mai and Asumi going together, constantly baiting the senpai route. It would be a shame to miss out on all of those potential fun storylines and turn into a generic monogamous romance or love triangle story we have an infinite amount of.

I can only believe this is leading to the harem route, I will ride or die for it. Asumi is now the yuri gigachad who can command every lesbian with her irresistible cuteness, and I think she's realizing that even though she originally thought Mai was the goal how much she really appreciates and cares for all the different girls she's gotten to know through her quest so far. I'll be so disappointed if she chooses just one.

At his point I'm unhealthily invested in this story, I don't even care about the porn anymore now I'm just watching this shit with popcorn like its Frieren

This manga is so ridiculous, I love it. It's just fun junk food.

"The worst she can say is no"
Nagisa: "I like her a normal amount I guess."

also this panel is a work of art, im deceased

I will never stop getting jumpscared by green hair senpai, she will always be blonde to me!!

This manga is truly the GOAT of yuri, the author actually develops the storylines and takes them in unpredictable directions when she could easily do what every other series does and leave it in limbo forever until the last chapter. The Nanao plot actually had a payoff but instead of the predictable couple route Asumi turned her down and it went in this fwb direction with Nanao starting to get into brothels too with lots of room for fun twists and development. In any other manga Mai would never be found until the end but they actually met and thenit went it went in an unexpected direction for the genre and Asumi is also realizing that she actually likes meeting all the brothel girls and doesn't want to give up her hobby just because she met Mai.

I fully believe in the harem route and I'm all for it

The author is an actual sadist teasing the senpai arc so much, PLEASE I desperately need it to finally happen

and AINT NO WAY MAI IS FINALLY HAPPENING???? We're so back

Fucking lmao at Asumi hiring so many prostitutes that she accidentally became a sex god, her top arc is incoming. I don't even read this series for the porn anymore I am simply obsessed with the characters and the story is hysterical

Maybe it will even turn into a shonen hero moment where Asumi is helped by all the friends she made along the way! And by that I mean, uses every single thing she learned on Mai at once.

This is the funniest thing I've ever read I need this. Ena and Sayaka as force ghosts hovering behind her guiding her fingers while she mindbreaks Mai with the secret techniques collected from 100 different professional sex workers

I love Ui, she's the best. I was worried about continuing the series past the main couple getting into university but so far it's been fun with the new characters. Ui and Nagisa could be their own entire spinoff and Hotaru is beyond hopeless it's so over for her

how the hell did that somehow get turned around into Makino apologizing lmao. Absolutely unhinged behavior from Mashiro that anyone would obviously be upset walking in to and she didn't even try to explain.

Bro come on lmfao

hey wait was the alcohol in that one chapter a stand-in for other drugs or does alcohol actually do that

Asumi doing MD when? I think that's what she really needs.

I desperately need the senpai arc to happen already, she keeps teasing us with it

It's amazing how this manga went from scumbag stalks a prostitute to such a wholesome romance.

1. Senpai having green hair is so unbelievably cursed I was sure she was blonde
2. I love Toki
3. Mai is still in Tokyo currently, will they finally meet her there?
4. Are we finally getting the senpai arc????
5. Based Toki opened Asumi's mind to the possibility of poly, I can see the direction things are headed and I'm here for it.

This manga remains a masterpiece, the author remains unbelievably based and always gives us what we want to see, and first post remains best post:

Can I just say it fucking slays me how Makino only ever refers to the rich kid as "The Guy With The Platinum Card" lmao she's so unrepentantly scummy and I love that for her.

oh my god asumi the eternal bottom turns even nanao into a monster

Scumbag works for one week, nearly dies.

Mood.

bruh what the hell kind of dripped out escape room was that, china is on some other shit lmao

Regarding this discussion, I lived in Japan for quite a while and in my observation both men and women consume yuri content but the types of yuri they consume tend to vary.

Men usually being more into, maybe contrary to expectations??? stuff that is much more moe oriented fluff and class S type stuff (or, yes, smut, but those are two different demographics of male fans!). A lot of the yuri and yuri adjacent series liked by men were more of the 4koma type comedy cute girls doing cute things vibe like Yuru Yuri, or series like Madoka with yuri undertones but not so much explicit romance content. In general cute stuff with cute girls they can ship with each other, it's tied with moe culture. Yuri is seen as more pure and lets them play with romance tropes without ruining the cgdct atmosphere with male characters. See also, idols are allowed to yuribait and flirt with each other all they want and the fans love it, but god forbid any of them talks to a man or gets a boyfriend.

On the other hand, more romance oriented series and dramas are primarily consumed by women, which isn't really a surprise right? Given that romance in general tends to be a very stereotypically female-oriented genre to begin with. Especially one about queer women with no male PoV character. Yuri stems from shoujo after all. Also, you can just tell usually when reading a manga right, when it's being written by a woman for women, it just has a vibe. Like I could imagine someone ignorantly looking at Asumi-chan and assuming it's meant for men based on the premise but when you read it it's just so clearly girlcoded in an unquantifiable way

When it comes to polls I think you have to really contextualize the conclusions you draw from them. Like we have to take into account sampling bias and also which yuri are being read by who. Depending on which specific type of yuri you're looking at the results are probably all over the board. Like I suspect there's a similar effect happening to the "women are the majority of gamers" polls, where it might be true but a lot of those women are mostly just playing mobile games and 400 hours of Animal Crossing, while when you look at the more 'hardcore' gamers as we traditionally imagine the idea, it skews male instead. And when it comes to online polls, I imagine they skew more male than the average too just because users on manga websites in general probably skew more male than the average.

I legitimately think that an ark of asumi developing feelings for nanao would be so god-send and then an ark where she fulfils the promise with Mai and then she starts developing feelings with her too and then she has to choose one of them and then she goes : BOTH ! , and then an intercourse where nanao and mai both become acquainted with each other and that triangle would be the best ending ever

I would absolutely die if Nanao starts going to that delivery health site to try and learn how to be a good fwb, hires Mai, and then falls for her. And then at some point brings Asumi with her to see Mai. It would be godlike. I need the poly route to happen we have such a dearth of good poly yuri and it's one of my absolute favorite tropes
