Every chapter, this one fascinates me. Definitely the best "buying a classmate" manga I've ever read.

These two disgust me every chapter, haha.
Definitely not ever going to stop reading.

Oof. I didn't expect such outrage in the comments (and I'm not sure why I didn't expect it, it's not unusual for everyone to be unreasonable).
He clearly said that he has no real issue with Elsa and Yvonne. He clearly said that his concerns were merely over the protection and happiness of his daughter, and y'all just focus on the bits like "two girls? no". Like there was no other context here at all.

omg i recognized all of them except for 1.
Listen to the Stars
Qing Mei Liao
My Food Seems To Be Very Cute
Beware of the vicious dog inside!
Tamen De Gushi (the couple in the alley (?) its cuz of the artstyle )
Song Beyond the World
Baili Jin Among Mortals
I Was Beaten Down By The Younger Generation Again
Artificial Temperature 36.7
Straight Girl Trap

Ahh, thank you for this list. I recognised the art (not actually usual for me), and I was going to look it up. I loved Straight Girl Trap.

She's framed as super mature and competent compared to Makino

Uhh, have we been seeing the same Mashiro? She's somewhat irresponsible and takes on too much responsibility for herself. Seems par for the course for our Mashiro.

That was a beautiful, on-point scumbag way to tell everyone she's gay. Bravo.

Look, I hate the system, but it's super duper time it made an appearance again so Evie can start to overcome it with her new girlfriend.

Also, why does Yvonne have to look so sexy in bandages, hey? Anyone would be turned on.

Do you really think there are people here who don't know mangas are works of fiction?

Knowing something is fictional and treating it as such are two entirely different things. Some people take their love or hatred of fictional characters entirely too far, and it's weird and off-putting.

Absolutely. I don't doubt that almost 100% of people are entirely aware that fiction is fiction, but their reaction to it just doesn't show that. They take it way too seriously and act in a totall unjustifiable way even if it was real life. People really creep me out (or make me angry) with their reaction to stories - and especially episodic stories, where you're not going to get a resolution any time soon. I feel like those people should go read books or watch movies, and get themselves out of overreacting to episodic stories.

Why are people starting to spoiler Arioto in this, the two series have completely different motifs

A few reasons, I'd assume:
1. People might not want to read discussion on a different story here
2. They're discussing something that has not been uploaded to Dynasty, people might not want to be spoilered on something they'd maybe like to read in the future.

Wish I was brave enough to dress androgynous for school. My mom had me thoroughly brainwashed.

I wore pants to school every day from when I was 13.
Unfortunately, it was not at all sexy.
I'm in Australia, so it was the school uniform. I mean, I couldn't dress sexy even if I tried generally in casual clothes, but in the school uniform, I just looked ... dorky.

I also made a weird sound.

Sorawo calling it "something weird" definitely brought to mind how weird it is when 'it' actually does happen between them.

I'm glad it didn't end. There's so many shenanigans they can still get into!

That's actually a pretty logical way for it to have started. Way more natural than the regular old, approach them at school and offer them money plotline.

why does the bath toy look so worried?

I was thinking, where was there a bath toy in any of these chapters? So I clicked, and it's for Citrus, not Sugar Meets Girl! Lol.

...I swear, for a solid minute there I thought she called the song "Maths 3-3 Koga Mitsuki"

This made me cackle. I'm imagining the confused look on your face.

Aww, Made for each other.

The giant turtle covers while they were tiny underneath during the smexytime made me giggle.

Nevermore and The Greenhouse (I'm on her Patreon)! Those are great too and wonderful examples of plot focused stories with great GL romance. I think Muted on par with those and since you've read it you'll know what I mean when I say it offers a unique and underrepresented relationship dynamic when compared to those other two? That's part of why it gets some extra recommendations from me now.

I mean, that's a fine reason to recommend things, sure. But I'm more likely to recommend things based on their quality (story and art) rather than just the characters, so Muted falls down the list for me in that sense.

Speaking of series with romance as a sub-genre, I just recently found Muted, has anyone read that series on Webtoon? It was very popular but I hadn't heard it mentioned much. Such a good story. It has a form of relationship people seem to clamor for here a lot (without spoiling) and a really nice depiction of it too.

I thought I recognised the title but couldn't remember, but as soon as I clicked it I remembered.
Tbh, I've read GL Webtoons I've enjoyed more than that one, too. There are so many good ones.
Atm, The Greenhouse is stellar.
Mage & Demon Queen was probably my favourite comedy-wise. (finished)
Nevermore (also ongoing) has amazing art and a great story.
Everyday by Day is a great episodic SoL cute series with a range of characters.

Sometimes it feels like there's a little bit of resentment or dissatisfaction when a yuri story focuses on other things than just the romance. But I agree with you. I've loved their progress and the world around them creates a lot of valid reasons for why they'd both feel inadequate and unsafe to form or think about relationship at the moment.

I agree and I think it's sort of natural, considering that we are all here on a page for yuri manga, a genre whose literally sole unifying feature is that its about girls dating girls. That naturally makes people hyperfocus on the girl dating girl aspect, which works well for romance but less well for everything that doesn't strictly want to be a romance.

Seems to me that people just don't know what "romance" is.
It doesn't mean they're instantly together. All romance stories include the story of how they were bonded together and the struggles they took to get there. Many romances don't even have a couple "getting together" until the end, depending on the type of story.

This isn't about it being gay or straight, that is just how romance stories go.

Aya hasn’t been doing that. Aya is just easy to read and her feelings for Mitsuki is obvious (from a readers POV).

And yet, we have this whole comment section ;)

Naori better watch out because Hinata plans on "reserving the hell" out of her when she gets the confidence and that sounds like a looong night.

On a serious note, it's interesting that both women are worried about being unworthy of the other and both women are simultaneously working to improve themselves for each other. They both fear they'll be unable to protect the other well enough (although Hinata's fear is that she'll subject Naori to more danger and injury). It's cute.

Also, I always assumed Tsukasa was Aju's bartender (and likely more than that). Can't forget that he was introduced sitting in front of an Aju poster and that Aju only asked for Naori's help because she missed her bartender. Now we'll get to see how that goes.

Seconding this, because everyone right now is just way too disappointed at the progress. Hinata knows what she wants. It looks like she knows how to get it. I don't know if Naori may have to grow herself and realise what she wants before there's a natural point where these two come together.

I think this was the most natural and un-contrived backing off I've ever seen in a romance.

They really should go back and get her that future washing machine.

Gosh, seeing Sena smiling on that cover was everything that I never knew I needed in life. It's so amazing to see her smile after all of her depression.
