i really enjoy these chappies so much. so gay.

I love this precisely because it takes Class S elements and moves them beyond the strictures that bounded the historical genre. it starts with a exploration of a particular, culturally defined pair of roles and relates them back to contemporary queerness. This is so, so, so good. <3

The latest chapter in particular really sealed my confidence that we will examine the sexuality of the characters, divorced from the genre's tropes. Roleplaying Class S is a path to self-expression, but there is a joy in trying to move beyond it, to express the sexual or romantic element that the original roleplay would explicitly ignore or downplay for comphet purposes.

In short, I'm hoping--and beginning to believe--that this will also be about figuring out the feelings of two young girls in love, with all the human messiness and complications that implies.

This was actually great. God damn.

^ Sorry, I thought I was in another series' forum facepalm
No, as far as I can tell, this is probably manga original.

Thanks. I love idiot couples when they're both incredibly gay and incredibly stupid together. I can't wait for more. :3

This is wonderful. Is this adapted from a webnovel, or is this original manga material?

This one is so dang cute oh yes ohhh yes

This is really fun lmao. Like genuinely what a fucked up couple and I can't wait for them to figure things out.

Just discovered this. It was so good, and it felt so incredibly trans without quite being trans. It really does feel like an older, alternate way of culturally considering and accepting a trans character, and it's so, so, so sweet. <3

I loved the ending of this. God damn, watching the actual best love interest get the guy was amazing. Botan was a sweetie and a darling and had earned his love on top of everything else, and it made so much more sense that she got with him.

Suddenly everyone hates this manga and decides to write a thesis on why it is bad

Ignore the haters. This rocked and was as gay as the day is long.

This chapter ruled fuck yea I'm so happy :D gay girlfriensddssssss

hinoka might really start to look into someone who values her and themself more.

they're great for each other except in this one incredibly strange and confusing moment that will require at least one chapter more to even explain. it'll certainly turn out okay, it'll just take a bit to work through the twist for a cute ending.

WTF was that? Like genuinely, my suspension of disbelief comes to a hard stop here because I have no reason to ever believe this makes any sense for Tsu to react the way she did? No normal human would behave like this

If you have a crush, a MASSIVE one on someone you knew your entire life and want nothing more than to be with them, psych yourself up for a confession for WEEKS, and the time comes and you receive probably the most unambiguous answer said crush could give by KISSING you, and your response is to…back off, send mixed messages, don’t talk about it, act sad/unsure/disappointed/basically give your crush every reason possible to take it the wrong way???

What were they thinking with this direction? It’s just a very forced artificial way to drag this dilemma out

This summarizes my feelings. I still love the manga, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it after this is resolved, but what a janky way to maintain tension. It needs Tsukishi to actually like, sit down and talk through her thinking, or it'll just be weird.

This version of Yuzu is about 100x better to read and I don't care for consistency if we get actual feelings from both characters instead of one lesbian pining at a brick wall. Gimme that gayyyyy fluff.

Benika, the yuri heart of a spy manga.

So gaaaayyyyyyy <3 eeeees

I love useless lesbian comedies, but I genuinely don't like this. If anyone has read ahead, does it ever ease up or tell jokes that don't end with one character assuming the other is straight? If not, I think I'll bow out here.

I am waiting patiently for Tsukishi's complete nuclear gay meltdown. :3
