I lost track of this story because I thought that there were re uploading the first season but it was a whole new season and continuation? I'm in extasis :)

Don't know how it went in sales, editors happens all the time to magakas, but they ended the arc pretty quick and with at least 2 “filter” chapters and we'll deserved moths to rest. I think they chopped the arc and moved on...they listened to complains? Idk, but they definitely were aware of the lack of people being interested in this arc.

This is all just assumptions. We don't even have evidence that a lack of people were interested in this arc, before we can begin to discuss sales. Social media doesn't mean anything, especially western social media for a Japanese series. We might not like the direction but that doesn't mean anything else.

Actually you can see it in this site, specifically in the comment section not as a fact but as an indicator.

Social media doesn't mean anything? The Green yuri is the most popular yuri right now and is for free on twitter and in here is one of the most commented yuris. Months ago love bullet was literally saved because of a twitter post of the author saying that it was going to b canceled and to please support them, and western yuri enjoyers, as you said, literally saved it from being axed and thankfully is getting the love that both the author and the manga deserves and more...and sasakoi has an official translation for western people jaja. Like why assume that to magakas social wouldn't mean anything? Eku I'm even interacts with people from all the places on her twitter.

It could be assumptions but it doesn't comes from the nothing and social media IS important.

Bye. This is getting tiresome.

I think people should be vocal about not wanting to see that on sasakoi.

Why should they be vocal? It won't accomplish anything. The author isn't reading the comments. The author won't change the story for you. Other mangaka in Japan aren't reading these comments and won't be influenced by them.

Yeah they aren't reading any comments from dynasty or any other sites that have unofficial translations, lol, pretty obvious. But actually Eku is pretty active in social media... specially on her twitter account at least. And it was sad how excited she was about the anime adaptation to be posting daily about it to trying to erased it from existence :(

Well, point is that after the disastrous anime adaptation, the end of the best selling arc in sasakoi, AkiShiho's popularity and one of her mangas being adapted announcement...this arc came, just after all that... people were pretty vocal about the the incest thing, sasakoi kind of lost part of it relevance on social media after being so popular. So yeah, probably they are not reading people being vocal on here, but there's people being vocal or were vocal in other sites or just weren't talking about it in general because of that.

Don't know how it went in sales, editors happens all the time to magakas, but they ended the arc pretty quick and with at least 2 “filter” chapters and we'll deserved moths to rest. I think they chopped the arc and moved on...they listened to complains? Idk, but they definitely were aware of the lack of people being interested in this arc. And I don't even blaming this arc in specific, you can't put yorihima and akishiho in all the chapters and the anime adaptation is an important factor. Also not telling that sasakoi is doomed because this arc.

This came much longer that intended, sorry.

Well someone has to throw Miki under the bus xD... author clearly did it and girl needs to get over her sister.
Like I get it at some extent. It was pretty annoying when people were saying that Shiho was acting like an inceI, and I understand the feeling about not wanting to see that under every chapter, but nah, please no more incest trope in my sasakoi. Idc if I'm having double standards about fictional pixels here.

Also, there's so many mangas/animes that portraits incest as a valid love that I think people should be vocal about not wanting to see that on sasakoi. Just that...smoke is bad, yeah, but they keep selling cigarettes because a lot of people like smoking and buys it regardless a lot of people complaining. Like seriously I saw some disturbing incest ships and is way too normalized in all kind of fandoms....this could b my ‘that friend that's too woke moment’ xD.

And yeah that's an argument in my books, even if in my original comment I just wanted to make a joke but Hoot took it in the wrong side. sorry that I can't express myself better or with less words, because english is not my language.

I think we're very different in mindset ultimately, and that's fine. It sounds like you mostly want your media to be very pure and clean, free of messy elements of humanity. Fair enough and there's a lot of people like yourself. Where as there's various taboo elements in media that I don't mind, and find interesting. I know how to separate reality and fiction as an additional factor. Plus I think there's far bigger things in life to worry about than incest in a fictional story, or judging people for incest shipping.

Ultimately I think this arc was messy, but the incest in the story didn't really bother me. That's not going to change no matter how much people tell me that incest is bad. The people that hate incest and other taboo elements being included in media will continue to hate them regardless of my input as well. So there's not really anything else to say here, we've reached the conclusion.

So that's why I say it's okay to agree to disagree, I wish you well and a pleasant rest of your day/night.

What? Been repeating myself that the incest was so unnecessary to the story and that they did nothing with it for you to get to that conclusion about my comments, I even was joking about it Jsjsjsjsjsjsjsjs.

Ok...be safe ( this is real, be safe), you don't know when the anti incest people in sasakoi will attack you and remember incest and smoking is bad xc.

Good day/ night to you as well :)

Ah, and of course saying that Miki deserves love and kindness also does not constitute a defense of 'incest'. She has not committed any crime, and there is no reason to assume her inappropriate feelings for her sister (which she wants to get over) make her any more dangerous to Aya than the average girl from their school is.

Exactly this.

I'm tired of seeing incest as a trope in manga/anime in general. I can't tell if it's always just for melodrama, or if authors/editors feel like it's a necessary addition to some stories. I don't care if it's Miki or some other character I'm just sick and tired of seeing it. It only tanks my opinion of a character/author/series.

As someone who is also a Fate fan this feels funny to read with your profile icon. Especially when a lot of the incest elements in Fate come from really old European mythology and stories. A lot of historical fiction has incest because incest is a huge part of real human history. It comes up in various media across the world because humans are so complicated and messy no matter where you are.

Actually I'm kind of glad people are skipping this arc and are being vocal about not wanting incest on their favorite fictional stories when is so unnecessary and it shouldn't be normalized compare incest with same sex attraction as this endless speech about all kinds of love/attraction being valid or being similar experiences. Incest is very harmful even if Miki is not acting on it...Aya was unrealistic compressive about all that fiasco, and yeah, she's going to fix Miki...or I hope so.

Well at the end Miki's attraction/love for her sister served no purpose to her development as character or the story an was so far from the main characters to even matter, she didn't get over it or acted on it to cause some drama (even if was so against it).

I'm not arguing more about this, this is not an GRR Martin book to be speaking about incest this much xc.

I don't think anyone was arguing with you about it, and yet you're still throwing Miki under the bus. Anyways, I believe Hoot was saying that they're tired of hearing the same "X thing is bad" statements repeated over and over. Another example of this is every time I open up a piece of art or a story where a character is smoking I see so many "smoking is bad" comments. Yeah we know, and yet people smoke, there's portrayals of people smoking in media, we don't need to be reminded constantly that smoking is bad lol

Incest is bad, incest is weird, incest shouldn't exist even if is one side secret attraction for your sister.
Let's not have this debate, please.

Someone saying they are bored of hearing the same couple of sentences repeated over and over, month after month, is not the same as disagreeing with the content of the sentences. If someone started to spam this thread with "vaccines work" and "5g is harmless", I would find it annoying, but not because I don't believe in vaccines or because I'm a 5G truther. In the same manner, commenting on the sheer volume of complaints that Miki Is A Disgusting Siscon, does not constitute an attempt at defending 'incest', or an invitation to debate. I hope I managed to clarify that for you.

Ah, and of course saying that Miki deserves love and kindness also does not constitute a defense of 'incest'.

Meanwhile here I am, enjoying basically every chapter whether it's sloppy melodrama or a fluffy date. Unbothered, moisturized, in my lane, flourishing, etc. After 11 volumes of this series over 5 years, it seems pretty clear to me that either the author or the majority of Yuri Hime readers filling out the surveys have a preference for sloppy and at times ridiculous melodrama and it's not going to go away.

Imagine that the girl you have a crush tells u that you can't date her because she's in love with her sister...I think that's a big red flag.

I think girls who are just kind of weird deserve a chance at love too. It's not like Miki has shown any tendency for abusive behavior, lying, cheating, or anything else. The fact that she told Aya about it, despite how ashamed she is of it, is actually pretty mature and a good sign if anything.

Honestly, the constant finger wagging about the entirely one-sided incestuous feelings, which the character clearly wants to get over, is kind of getting old in general. I didn't want to say anything when it was first revealed because everyone is entitled to be shocked, but it's starting to feel like this is the audience's new chew toy after "Shiho's sins" became less relevant. Squeak, squeak, squeak.

Incest is bad, incest is weird, incest shouldn't exist even if is one side secret attraction for your sister.
Let's not have this debate, please.

Also it was so unnecessary, like if author wanted to have a one sided dramatic and problematic love arc involving sisters you had Hajime, Momoka and the deceased sister/ex girlfriend right there...or if they wanted to explore Miki's character through love, why don't make best friend doomed yuri...why incest.

Imagine that the girl you have a crush tells u that you can't date her because she's in love with her sister...I think that's a big red flag.

well at least she was honest!

I think Aya was thinking the same and is taking me out that her conclusion after being weirded tf up was 'i can fix her' jsjsjsjsjsjsjs

Imagine that the girl you have a crush tells u that you can't date her because she's in love with her sister...I think that's a big red flag.

So glad we are returning to Yori and Himari and this arc is finally over.

This story can be summarized as: I hate you.... Kiss me more.

Came from the tomb just for this...I'm screaming

If you haven't watched the series go the actress have so much chemistry

Time to disassociate from the 'im in love with my onechan' arc and forget it like Miki's boyfriend so I can keep enjoying this manga, I really really really hope this is like 5 eps at much and we can see Kyou and Momoka flashbacks or something.

Well, I'll skip through this arc. We could be having Hajime x Momoka drama arc but author really went for the I love my blood sister arc instead, and again Aki being the center of all the drama without knowing.

That last panel was precious and Momoka will be activating her senpai skills once again.

Ooh the plot is twisting

Ummm... I don't like where this is going to be honest. Like please be something else, please. At least the “incest” plot in Citrus they are half sisters that didn't grow up together or were raised by their parents, they were strangers, Mei and Yuzu's parents relationship is weird, not the point. Here, in sasakoi if they are going that pat is blood related incest, it's gonna ruin this story for me.

Adding I was expecting a messy story with HajimexMomoka and being in love with the girlfriend of your deceased sister.... please no incestplot.

I think in Ctirus they're step-sisters, half-sisters they would be blood related still. Half-sibling means your parent had a kid with another person, so they're half related to you, but still a sibling all the same. Step-sibling is when your parent remarries and they have kids already. Which is the case in Citrus if I remember correctly, where Citrus being controversial for the "incest" is really an almost non existent factor, due to them not being blood relations and dating almost as soon as their parents married, they didn't grow up together or anything. It's basically a way for Citrus to be "taboo" and have the characters live together.

Yeah, step sisters, english is not my first language and forgot the correct term. And exactly, you expressed my exact point of view with better words.

I just want to say that Shark mind mei is kind of awesome....

I see a lot of people saying that Yuzu's insecurities are unjustified or that she's being paranoid. Let's remember that it has being least than a year since Mei literally left Yuzu to marry a man. These girls need communication and Mei just can't do that for the sake of Yuzu.
I love Yuzu man, she deserves better from Mei, sorry

I love that Kodama Naoko sensei is happy, healthy in a bigger apartment and doing what she loves: drawing boobs and NTR for a living and she's thriving.

Wow, my ship sailed from no where.

Oh how the tables have turned to Non-Chan

10/10 story.

even god damn Twilight had better Relationship progression to Romantic Relationship that whatever this shite is supposed to be between Aki/Shiho? I’m a supposed to be all gooygooy with their supposed “romance”??? even Thanos with the infinity glove couldn't hand fisted the supposed romance, yeah nop I’m dropping the manga here I will rather rewatch all the Twilight movies to forget this manga existed.

I’m just praying to all gay gods that Yuri Is My Job, stops fallowing in the footsteps of this manga, cuz good god I’m sick of Kanoko.

Hahahahaha. This is utterly horrific but fascinating at the same time.

I think the author is struggling to tied up all the loose ends in the plot...but I'm liking that Komachi is an antagonist because of a curse? -Well at least Komachi seems to feel it that way-. Point is that I think that the next arc, if this is not the end, they'll find a cure for Komachi. Also idk, I like more this ship.

Seo plot twist really kind of messed the plot.

I love this manga but that nurse is a groomer and I hate when she's on a panel. Whatever, it doesn't take how much I enjoy the other things from this manga, specially the main couple, Nagisa's character and Uda.

At not point was grooming ever done she set very clear boundaries and was professional as one could be in a situation like this, granted she still accepted her feelings but at least she waited until she was a adult and graduated

Are you for real? Nurse knew a minor student since the beginning of high school and “waited” for her until she was an “adult". Please don't call that sht professionalism, the system education really failed you.

Does someone know if this manga is in hiatus or cancelled and where to buy the raws, please? I need this ship like I need the air I breathe.
