There's a quote out there by famous anime director Tomino Yoshiyuki about how you can only be a good animator if you're a pervert, and I agree; I think that goes for making manga, too. And this author isn't a pervert at all. I just think they liked the aesthetics of perversion. It managed to completely fool me into thinking that this would be an interesting work, but I am saddened by the flaccidity in which it has decided to finish.

i was not expecting to see Tomino cited in the dynasty scans comment section but I love this, you're cooking with gas and I couldn't agree more. This is a story that had so much room to be explored in depth and it feels like it never once dove below the surface, and its frustrated me so much that it just fell flat like this.

usui shio and rushed unsatisfying endings where the characters explain the themes of the manga to each other, name a more iconic duo

This ending's perfectly competent idk why you're hating on a good author about it

It's pretty bad. There were 3 main plots in this series and 1 of them was resolved all at once in a single conversation, the other was completely discarded and chalked up to "I got in a fight with my friend, maybe we'll make up some day who knows?" and the last one (Remu developing feelings for Azuki) was completely ignored.

I don't hate Shio but all of her series end like this. Entire plot lines are set up and barely followed through on and the conflict is hashed out all at once in a single chapter by the characters having a super ham fisted conversation.

this type of storyline doesn't feel particularly earned or fitting for the type of story this has been until this point? im not inherently opposed to more drama but this is creating some serious whiplash.

this chapter is so meta, oh god

Oh wow this was an INCREDIBLE first chapter.

i have chills.

series has felt super unfocused since the time skip to the point I genuinely don't know what the point of anything is.

reads manga titled "My First Love with another girl's girlfriend"
"There had better not be any cheating in here"

what did they mean by this?

But but she didn't give her the bracelet did she!?

that was the love charm she bought in the New Year's chapter, it wasn't part of the gift, just her being a gayass.

classic awkward moment when you find out the girl you've idealized has interiority and isn't actually in love with you just because you're obsessed with her.

more yuri manga with protagonists who are weird little freaks please. just downright maladjusted cretins.

Both of them are quite messed up in their own right.

How long before she tries to pay her off to sleep with her because she heard others also did it. Clearly she has no issues with money if she's dropping tons of yearbooks just so she can masturbate to a small picture of her.

this is 1000% happening, and it's gonna be so awkward. big fan.

that thigh bite is kino

the secondhand embarrassment when the coworker tries to drop references....

I love how they think that female knights were a normal enough thing :-D
(and this comes from a fervent researcher of historical examples of female knights in medieval Europe and actual author of a published book on the subject matter whose title I won't state so not to dox myself)

reading lord of the rings i love how they think dragons were a normal enough thing

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY

i would let hana ruin my life i think

This almost gives me similar vibes to like, if pink candy kiss was told from/including the husband's perspective. im intrigued!

to be so disastrously in love with someone and yet she doesn't even know who you are because (it looks like) you never interacted much and your life changing event was just a normal day to her.

im wondering if it's that or an amnesia plot line, which would be much less interesting.

it would be funny if all this time the player was actually trying to flirt with her but the other gal was too dense to notice

i'd bet all the money I have that this is the case, it seems pretty predictable

it's always a one shot when you least want it to be.

this was nice, a strikes a really good balance between sweet and bitter feelings. more antisocial mask girl yuri please.

god i missed this, every new chapter of this puts me at risk of entering a diabetic coma, it's just so syrupy sweet and sentimental I can't even handle it. this feeling of mounting anticipation.... it's so close to blooming....

stilted mtl, my favorite

Her "first"? How?

yeah this genuinely made me a bit angry, like I read the beginning of the manga what are you trying to pull? like i imagine it's supposed to be like she only ever made out with other girls or something and didn't go "all the way" but then why would she call them sefure??? do they just think the audience is too bitchmade to handle a yuri manga protagonist who isn't a virgin?

im a bit frustrated with the constant bait and switches but I don't mind Hario getting fleshed out a bit more as we go into the climax. he's as much a part of the story as Ema and Takara, as him being a genuinely supportive figure is the main thing that keeps this from being a dime a dozen "woman cheats on her evil husband with her true love" story. ema cares for him even if she doesn't love him so I don't mind the development, but god takara is exhausting.

it looks like it was originally created in 2018 so I don't think the anti-vax implications were intentional (though unfortunate with hindsight). I think this is more of a combination of personifying growing older and conforming to social expectations as women (marrying men, working corporate jobs) as "zombies" and the girls choosing to die to not "become like them". Hence the final page being people reading a newspaper on a packed train, presumably commuting to work discussing their suicide. It's a bit bleak but I don't think it's malicious.
