Marisa, casting stones over cosplay? Preposterous.

This is really good! Both of our main characters seem so mysterious.

I don't think it's so weird, people have sex outside of commitment all the time.

Its not that im finding odd, what im finding odd is the leap in logic of:
my best friend likes me, well better have sex with them then later just pretend like everything after the whole finding out your best friend likes you thing never happened, it was....odd

She was making a very important point!

I like this one, it's a cute post-canon piece. I love the relationship of these two.

I feel like people are ignoring the symbolism here. For Sachiko, the moon is eternal, a sign of the bright love she shares with Mizuki even as they're far apart. For Mizuki, the moon is ephemeral, a far away symbol of her girlfriend who continuously shifts further away from her as she becomes more and more famous, and in the end, its ephemerality for Mizuki naturally turns into ephemerality for Sachiko, and the symbol breaks in half when the contradiction becomes apparent. I can't say for sure what Mizuki was thinking (part of the point of the story is that we don't know), but the fact that she stuck with Sachiko for two and a half years while she was in Tokyo before her debut suggests that she did in fact view the relationship seriously.

I like the symbolism here. Even if you can't live your life in full view of society, you can still build your own small slice of society. It would be better to have the full thing, of course.

Somehow can't help but be reminded of many of the Marisa x Alice stories. While many of them are really quite beautiful, some of the best still tear your heart out, as the difference in aging leads to a very melancholy end...

Clearly Kairi should become a youkai magician.

Looks interesting. No idea if I'm reading too much into the first chapter, but it reminds me a lot of the manhwa Suicide Boy, which is also about investigating different methods of suicide.

They figure out the confession, and then someone's getting arrested. It's always something in this school.

Wait, is her name Qiu Chu or Qing Chu? Page 17 shows two different names.

Also I can't believe the mom died at the end of the chapter, RIP

Don't be silly, Tongtong's mom is going to dashingly save her from falling and we'll start the mom yuri arc.

G.K.: The fatal flaw of hard sci-fi is that it's not interesting to anyone except for fans of science fiction. Its main course are scientific explanations, and even though there are many different stories, in the end they always give way to walls of scientific text. But readers, except for sci-fi fans, barely feel any catharsis from that. Let's be honest, what's so interesting about having to read a longass explanatory infodump? That's why the sad reality is that hard sci-fi won't spread beyond the sci-fi fanbase. However if you make that hard yuri sci-fi, the scientific explanation segment becomes a scene of women having a conversation with each other. In other words, a yuri scene, something that all of you love.

Or well, not hard sci-fi this time. But I immediately thought of this reading this chapter.

I felt like we were hitting a lull, and then along comes comes chapter 80. This series keeps hitting those moments of tension like nothing else can. The gay chicken continues onwards.

I love that Sendai doesn't actually like the necklace that much lol. It wouldn't feel right for their relationship if she picked up the pendant and everything was perfect.

Everyday Lily fits the bill here. It’s a romance between two lesbians, one of whom has been actively dating women for years, and the other of which has been in the closet since high school and is obsessed with yuri manga to cope.

You know, isn't it funny that Miyagi has more close friends than Sendai? It depends on how you count 'close friend' of course, but I think you need some level of emotional intimacy for it to count.

So, I'm caught up on the Amawashi translation, but question for the MTL readers- have they started calling each other by their given name yet?

Lesbian prostitute training arc is such an inspired concept

Mizuki reminds me a lot of Haruki from Warikitta Kankei Desukara. Ambiguously masc girl who realizes her feelings for her childhood friend and alternates between sabotaging and supporting her other relationships. This story is a bit less intense, though.

Oh man, that really sucks. Hopefully it still sticks the landing, this is good enough that I reread all the previous chapters every time a new chapter was translated.
