Well it's clearly not consensual buy why is Fuuko blushing and not pushing her away? In manga's SA scenes are way too often fetishized. When someone assaults you you grit your teeth and struggle looking clearly distressed, not all mushy like you are enjoying it.

It would be really out of character if Fuuko becomes a pushover to escalate the plot even further to keep people emotionally engaged. But considering the writing so far chances are high.

Lmao, this series man. Now some random ass chick appears to spice things up because it has gotten really stale. Nothing happened in those last chapters, the story went literally nowhere, except for Fuuko's kink. Every chapter was about Yuni still bitching like the angsty teen she is. I can't wait for this to be finished out of morbid curiosity what the author will spawn next.

Her best stories are her one shots imo. But lengthy series like this and luminous blue are just bad. As an artist she's so good though, she just needs a good writer.

Just started reading this and damn this is angsty. All three of them are in very difficult positions.

Seriously I don't see a happy end here for Koto or Erika. It's clear Aya has no problems moving on, Koto is a complete mess while she is just doing her thing.
Erika is still caught up in her own problems + having to deal with the whole Koto/Aya mess again.

The way Aya is integrating in both their lives is also not promising, whatever happens their might have to keep dealing with her.

And the most vexing thing is that not one of the three is to blame, this whole situation is so ridiculous you don't wish this upon your worst enemy.

Kina sad Micchy's love interest is the dead girl. Kasumi has her senpai and I'm pretty sure Reona has a thing for Masaki. Masaki is also giving Yandere vibes. That one shot where looked at reona walking chichi home with the crazy eyes. She's probably jealous as well, after seeing the selfy pic of them. She was also really pissed at Reona self deprecating.

Micchi is playing a kinda passive role getting caught up in the dynamics of her friends relationships. Unless aizawa comes back to life she won't have a real a love interest.

Well I hope I'm wrong. Masaki getting involved is interesting but her just ending together with Reona would be too obvious and cliché.

I gotta say this is all very interesting but in the end it's still purely speculative. I have no probs with interpretations and such but claiming to know for sure what Nanase's or Fuuko's motivations are is just bs.

Your analysises can be as deep as the Mariana trench and it still will be nothing more than speculation. Some humility might be in order, I mean interpret all you want but don't act like the authority unless the evidence is definitef.

The mental gymnastics you guys are doing trying to paint Nanase as the bad guy and Fuuko as the savior is crazy.

You are giving the author way too much credit. Everything fell off a cliff once the cheating got out. Nanase for some bs reason can't give up on Yuni ( like the good cuck she is to keep the story going)

There’s a difference (a key one to my mind) between “discussing characterization” and “painting imaginary people as good guys or bad guys.”

The “some reason” Nanase can’t give up on Yuni is, as has just been explained at length, her sense of ownership. She’s not particularly invested in what Yuni needs or wants, she just objects to someone “stealing” something she thinks of as “hers.” Everyone is free to decide if that makes Nanase “a bad person” or not, but that moral judgment is irrelevant to how she functions as part of the story.

I'm sorry, but did the author confirm that, or is this just pure reader-response theory? Where's your proof? That one moment when Nanase yelled, "Get away from my girlfriend," is a perfectly normal response. That doesn't mean she's seeing Yuni as something she owns.

This is complete overreach if I've ever seen one—or you could almost call it projection. Interpreting and speculating about their motivations and such is fun and all, but don't act like it's definitive.

I could write a whole wall of text with tons of theories and examples to prove a point, but it would still be purely anecdotal and prove nothing.

Fuuko is just getting crazier to keep things fresh? I admit I didn't see the momy thing coming lmao.

For the rest the manga is just running circles, I would be way more engaged if Yuni and Nanase actually had any chemistry. But there is nothing, nada. Unless Nanase is crazy over Yunis looks I don't see why their are dating at all. And dont tell me it's because she complimented her haircut.

Bruh Yuni is finished. One girl is genuinely in love with her but she's too messed up to make it work. The other girl wants to infantilize her to play momy.

Also where's the smut? I wanna see how the sex is between her and Nanase. Some momy- daughter role-playing would also be nice.

joined Jun 27, 2022

Now Yuni will run crying back to that nutjob for some momy role-playing. She's gonna suck on Fuukos breasts making baby noises. I wonder how far Fuuko's kink will go and if Yuni gets desperate enough to play along.

Nanase will do jack all since she's the cuck. Maybe she will get on with Yuki, that would be hilarious.

I dunno, just because you have to spend a night alone doesn't mean you should invite someone over your girlfriend explicitly asked you not to do hang out with. And alone at that.

Also I love the fact she's just flipped her skirt like she's not wearing any underwear. Are her boundaries all messed because of her former profession?

Riko the mvp. Gave the goblin a good whopping and called an ambulance.

Gotta say though seeing Collin chained up with her skinny legs in the littered room was heartbreaking. I love the fact they didn't depict any of the horror explicitly. All the little hints and signs were enough to make you feel incredibly uncomfortable. Ending felt a little abrupt but I don't think you can stretch this too long.

So yeah, for what it wanted it to be it's a nice read.

Flower Child really delivers. I just wish her vampire manga was this peak lesbian and not full of subtext without a single kiss or real confession. Not to mention the ending was complete ass.

Japan is a land full of natural disasters so they learned that if you want to keep everyone safe, you have to not fall out of line and act in the interest of the group. That means don't act selfish, don't bother people expressing your concerns, suck it up so the harmony won't get disturbed. There's a reason why so much crime doesn't get reported, mainly sexual harrasment. They learn to keep their mouth shut and act the way that's expecting of them.

If you don't follow the social norm and attract attention, chances are high you get bullied and higher ups won't like you. Always listin to the teacher, what you seniors says goes, even if they are incompetent and just a year older. Japan has a highly oppressive society where appearances are more important than your happiness as an individual.

I love how the monster mentioned the backpack. I kid you not, students have to carry all their books no matter how heavy, they are not allowed to leave some at school like we did with lockers. People were against the idea since it's good for character building and they also had to do it, so those kids must do the same. Its a crazy mentality and young people are fed up with it. But they can't do much against japans huge elderly population and politicians catering to them to get elected.

It's no wonder japanese media is the most expressive and extreme. It's crazy how diverse japanese entertainment is, not to mention all the insane things you can do in the sex industry. People need ways to cope with the extreme pressure and escape their harsh reality.

Tldr what the monster defines as normal is to just act like a good productive sheep for a healthy society, or you will be shunned.

Once again Karin pushes the plot forward. You always need this one character who won't win the race but keeps the plot going. She's literally a foil to Mei's passive behavior and is good in making the other girls jealous to give them some agency.

Harem manga's can be really frustrating, everyone has a favorite, some are destined to lose, they rarely go poly so some people will be pissed off.

Misa is kinda acting out of character, what's up with the hyper emotional reaction?

Maybe I missed something? I thought she was pretty grounded and rational till this point.

joined Jun 27, 2022

I feel like Karin is out of the race, she was so aggressive in her approach but turned off Mei eventually because of her promiscuity.

She did all that and still couldn't get Mei. If Maria gets serious she might be able to win over Mei. If Riri keeps this pace up and finally comes to terms with her feelings/gayness, she could win too.

Kaoru and Minato are too goofy tbh, they feel like comic relief just hanging around.

And where is a "comedy" tag? Cause it's hilarious xD

I agree, the whole mommy thing is just too much. Though it kinda cancels the whole cheating drama out, making it much more digestible imo.

yeah I figured that you can't exactly put six lesbians in a house together and expect none of them to hook up, even if five of them are originally just here for Soraike Mei.

No one hooked up though. They just passed out next to rach other.

On another note is Maria the first one Mei found out loves her? With Karin's flirtatious personality she probably questions her feelings. I'd day Maria scored a huge win this chapter. For me its Maria, Riri, or Karin.

Yeah, all they did was talking about how they loved mei and eventually passed out because they got sloshed.

joined Jun 27, 2022

Well they all have the same interest, it was only a matter of time until some of them formed a little camaraderie.

Though for some reason I don't see Maria getting friendly with the other girls just yet. She's taking this very seriously.

Fuuko with her momykink is going off the rails. This is becoming unwillingly funny.

Though little Fuuko was so cute, they really messed her up.

joined Jun 27, 2022

Well I had a conversation(?) with the author on Twitter and she basically told me why this scene between Karin and Riri happened. It's all good now lmao.

I would post it here if I knew how to make spoilers.

Or don’t? We don’t need the additional commentary when we can just wait for the next chapter. Personally, I want more of Karin and Riri. Karin’s great, she’s honest and open with her feelings and actions. And I think she could help Riri be more open and honest about her own feelings.

I mean, the whole point of spoiler bars is that you don't have to read it if you don't want it, but it's still there for people who do.

To post spoilers w/ blacked-out text, just put double equal-signs "="x2 before and after the text you want to block out.

I'm always curious to hear the author's thoughts on why they write a scene the way they do. I'm interested in people's processes for writing.

Sure, there you go

She told me she only created the scene with Karin touching Riris breasts to emphasize how different it feels when Mei is touching her later in the story. Karin is just a foil to let Riri grow closer to Mei, so we can expect something sexy happening between them on this trip

Btw Tamamushi is incredible nice to talk to. She loves to read the eng localization of her mangas.

joined Jun 27, 2022

Aww Riri is indeed too pure (comically so). I'm just glad Tamamushi stayed true to her word and upheld certain boundaries. There won't be anything happening between Karin and Riri.

This deserves more comments. So far it's very intriguing. The sharp tooth gal is just peak but this monster has to be special or very powerful. I don't think takahashi can switch forms like that and swapping the gender.

"Nana" is how a child would call her grandma.

So the lady was the mom's or the dad's mother. Obviously, they looked down on her.

That makes sense, thanks for letting me know. I gotta say I enjoy these chapters alot. I'd love for more chapters where Fuuko is doing some introspection. It's funny how the author finds this more dark than all the emotional abuse, the hurting and cheating, and she's kind of right.

Trampling on a child's innocence is just sad.

Little Fuuko was so cute, and damn, her parents are loaded. I guess Nana was her nanny and living with them while having a huge library. Though I don't think Grimm's Fairy Tales are suitable for little kids.

Does the author even know that those books were not meant for children? If I were to read that to my five-year-old daughter, she would be traumatized.

Nanase's bio was interesting in the sense that she's truly a completely ordinary girl who loves volleyball. You wonder why she even fell in love with Yuni, "always smiling and doing her best." The complete opposite of Yuni. There might be some foreshadowing with her childhood friend; it would be interesting if something develops there.

Contrary to what others think, Nanase is still the better partner for Yuni, in my opinion. She's healthy with a good mindset in life, ambitious, active, and outgoing. It would be great if she could pull Yuni with her, but alas, we know that's not happening. Fuuko is just too messed up and toxic.

I already gave up on the writing and am just going to enjoy it for what it is: a beautiful, slightly morbid, funny trainwreck. I don't know about you guys, but I burst out laughing when Fuuko said she wants to be her mommy XD.
