I'm fine with the general thematic core of the ending but the time skip off screening so much character development just really kinda sucks. I really did love this series and a lot of it will stick with me for a long time, but it feels very much like something was lost by having Ito's character development relayed this way, being talked about in the form of clumsy expository dialogue rather than taking place over the course of the series.

Woah, wait a minute, did Mashiro fucking do THAT to Fuuko on that one page? Her fingers are wet and bloody, and you see blood dripping down Fuuko's leg.

If I'm right than did she technically sexually assault her?

yeah I'm a bit surprised how few people are really noticing this, and that it isn't tagged with dubcon at absolute bare minimum.

This explains so much of why Fuuko is the way that she is. Jesus christ. Now why is Mashiro the way that she is...? The cycle continues..

Mashiro is really raising the stakes in the Evil Woman Enjoyer arms race.

Really clear this series needs to move on from the weekly 4 page format imo. Every time we get an extended chapter it immediately becomes 4x more coherent, interesting and layered than all the 4 page chapters in between. Like there's a palpable tension here that just wouldn't exist if this was broken up into 3 separate 4 page chunks.

the most incremental progress in this series makes me feel like I'm going to explode because the build up has been so well done, it makes things that would be pretty trivial in almost any other manga feel like a moe hydrogen bomb going off directly in front of my face

ok I was SO confused at this chapter because for the longest time because I had misinterpreted the flash backs of Yuhi being given the necklace by a faceless girl with black hair as being Mocchi because Mocchi has long black hair in flashbacks and seemed weirdly fixated on the necklace and the fact Yuhi claimed she had forgotten who gave it to her and I thought that was the single most interesting plot point in this and that just actually wasn't a thing at all so I'm. adjusting. I had to go back and read through and the thing I thought was being implied just wasn't really.

"I found this thing annoying when my boyfriends would do it but now that a woman I like is doing it, I totally get it" is such a good bit bc being gay really is like that!

its very Kodama Naoko, stunning art, fairly shallow and on the nose melodrama with vague allusions to societal ills with a really kitsch high concept theme. Genuinely if she just handled art and the general themes of her manga, and handed off writing dialogue and characterization to someone else, she might make a masterpiece.
She's still got it. She's never heard the word subtlety in her life. This all sounds very negative but to be clear I would die for her.

This is a fun half chapter but I feel so edged by it :(

we've been knee deep in the Mashiro stuff for a while it's nice to have a moment for Fuu and Yuni, but I don't wanna wait another 2 months for more of the main plot :(

oh this is wonderful. i feel like there's precious little yuri exploring what comes after the happy ending and the confession and how it takes effort and understanding to maintain a relationship long term.

oh this is incredible

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....
