The only kind of NTR I can enjoy is wacky shit that makes fun of the genre. This fits the bill.

Also, boobs.

Well, there you have it. They just need Ring Day next.

Holoyuri feeds me. Ouugh. Moona/Reine,,,

Anyway, rant over. TLDR: Everything went downhill once we got Yuzu's perspective.

Ironically I thought the series was going to go in a better direction when we started getting those chapters, instead of Yuzu turning into an Olympic acrobat jumping through every hoop imaginable to avoid being loved.

What a bland ending. I'm just glad it's over, this really felt like a bowl of sugar. Sweet at first, but gradually more and more painful as you keep eating it. It's left me feeling empty as hell, too.

Considering Shio's previous works being very nonsexual, this is a really amazing (if toxically mixed up and crazy) way of exploring how sexual/romantic desire manifests and affects different people. How Meguru's view of sex is warped by her exposure as a child, how Yakou's desires are object-focused but she's the most open to touching/being touched, how Komuki doesn't truly seem to know how to manifest her feelings.

Really can't wait to see where this goes now that Yakou can connect the dots.

They're a couple of idiots and they're adorable.

Do they count as an idiot couple, or are they just a couple of idiots?

Minami literally confessed and Yuzu pushed her away. Any normal person, let alone inexperienced teen, would take being PUSHED away as a sign of rejection, and decide to just give up.

Minami not using her words + how long we've been waiting for a "confession" = They are both stupid for me. Yuzu is the dumbest smoothest brain here for sure, but we've been watching from Minami's POV for so long that her going "guess it won't happen" feels very deflating and kind of undermines how long she's been working to ask Yuzu out.

Last chapter, I was like "nah i'm fine with this, they have to confront each other next chapter right?"

Then we get this. Holy fucking shit. What a travesty, needlessly dragging on and ignoring the failed kiss entirely and making every bit of progress feel worthless. And let's be honest, it's not like there was a lot of progress made either. I thought they were going to be introspective by going with Yuzu's POV but instead we just go back to Minami and she gives up without saying anything clearly. What a cop-out. It really feels undeserved if they get together after this, because there's being dense and there's being actively malicious to your own psyche.

It's super exaggerated and dramatic but the inability to accept that someone might actually like you romantically is totally plausible. It's no doubt way more frustrating for regular readers though, rather than binge-reading a few chapters at a time. I stopped following this one after we got the first Yuzu-POV chapter, and reading the last 4-5 in one go has been a benefit for the drawn-out pacing drama since I haven't been waiting on more of the same schtick every couple months.

I hope everyone can see the difference between CNC and true non-consent :)

As a fan of CNC it pleases me to no end to see an author set up the pillars of CNC and Dom-Sub RP so well to strikingly, visually compare them to how real abuse forms and plays out.
It's peak.

PEAK...

I quite like Usui's ace rep work, but I will admit it's really nice to see them touching on topics that are more sexual in nature. I hope that it's OK for them to work on, and it'll be really cool to see how this relationship of the MC's evolves since it tackles sexual attraction in unusual ways.

It's mutual. It's twisted love! But it's mutual.

Disappointing bit there. Put a pretty sour feeling in my stomach, everything else is great, but then the stupid transphobic bit comes in and it's like... why? If you wanted a creepy stalker dude, just make it that and not some perpetuation of stereotypes. Just feels bad when everything else is cute.

How long until Itsumi convinces Hanei to be gay with more people?
How long until Arare is one of those people?

When will Mochi au Lait not have an incest plotline? Not that I'm against it.

Anyone considering that Yuki and Fuuko are gonna..? Anyone? No, just me?

Yuni is a dumbass. Should've said "both."

Risa-chan is the real winner. Hiroko was so difficult, Ayaka went through a lot of hardship, and Risa-chan had to deal with it... but Risa gets the boobs in the end. >:)

I wouldn't judge the ending too harshly considering how rushed it is in terms of storytelling. It feels like there were a lot more ups-and-downs to be had where one has a job, the other doesn't, etc. But with both of them not having one it's easier to go back to square one and say "we tried, but life isn't fair."

Feels like if anything the message isn't about giving up or not trying, but that it's really fucking hard to be happy in this hell world of interviews and arbitrary requirements.

Chad Shirafune. I knew I was right to trust him.

Now to find out whether he respects her because she came to church all the time, or if he's shitting his pants because he doesn't know if the other two are also assassins.

Gosh there've been a lot of developments since I last read this. Caught up to now and it's like, my heart's thumping along with Sena and Kiku's growing attachments. I thought the love triangle bit would involve Yuria, but it really seems like it's just - Kiku is giving Sena a lot of room to breathe and see new people and come out of the Depression Hole.

If it's really ending so soon then that's sad, but I hope it's a good end. I really liked seeing Kiku's uh. INTENSE DREAM. Desire for the shut-in Sena.

God, they look so tired.

Hehehe. Cute idiots.
