Apparently has no agency, but also has the vampire and childhood friend both in a destructive orbit around her. She likely has an accurate read on her childhood friend who has been crushing from a distance as well as knows what buttons to press to get the vampire on her back foot.

At this rate she’ll miss the race because she’s at the hospital from collapsing. She’s a pushover but who would have guessed there’d be a florist black company. I mean damn. Just put up a closed sign for the afternoon. If the streamers are true the idea of regular hours for shops are quite nebulous in Japan anyways.

Maybe I need to wander around outside until I hear a band I like wafting out of a random storefront. It has worked a few times in the green universe.

It's probably difficult to have a lot of scruples in the vampire genre. Dubcon seems built in for example. Harem wouldn't be unusual or wrong either. As someone who doesn't mind any of that I'm dreading the pages of morality check-ins for dynamics that aren't unusual for vampire stories. Especially for a manga where the tone and humor around it have been delightful so far.

thanks for the double upload!!

is this manga still being released? I'm afraid of the axe!

Looks like there's four volumes out so far. I don't think it's finished or at risk or anything.

well now that shes realized she loves her then isnt the next step tongue

Don’t get your hopes up. Tongue is the most suggestive thing one can expect in an Usui Shio manga

Hold up. Have you not been reading Our Love is Disgusting?

I think there is a lot of redrawing for this one so it is more of a time dump situation for anyone doing it. However it was, Yen Press will take it on.

Discussing her day-to-day with her friends. Telling those errr romantic frogs that she’s playing with a human. So innocent. Everyone is going to know her business.

...Wakana's feelings of wanting to be real with someone and getting to love something with everything she is are dragged out into the open, no longer restrained, allowing Wakana to actually be the person she wants to be, all with the help of one small no worries enthrallment lmao.

Yeah, it seems like she's free of inhibitions. Since everything is being filtered through her newly unlocked goth doll / vamp girl wish fulfillment she has maintained her own agenda in a way still. It's possible almost any seemingly direct order could be reinterpreted to serve her own fantasy.

While this got dropped a long time ago I kept up with it and it's next chapter is it's last. Seven Seas picked it up so if anyone was wanting to read the rest that's going to be released beginning in 12/2025. That'll be more print volumes than Japan got since the final two volumes were digital only I think. It did get a proper enough ending for the type of series it was though.

I made it through my favorite character playing for over a year with her arm broken. This final little bit is nothing. It looks to be ending before my schooling is paid off at least and that was becoming a concern.

Wdym ending? Don't forget, we still got the the whole Individuals championship to come after this :D There's at least another decade worth of mahjong in this series, easy xD

Oh hush. Don’t give them any ideas. The only way I could be drug back in for more after this ends is if Hisa graduates and changes her mind to go pro in another spinoff. Then i’ll reset the clock to my car payment.

The main story is taking forever partially due to the spinoffs, breaks, slow releases etc, but I don’t get the complaint about no end goal. Huh? It’s in the final stretch of a very structured game that’s been central the story all along. It’s never been a tournament with no end.

Now I have to wait to see if this is still a dropped series April 2nd.

To me the mom is too focused on righting the wrong “wrong” in her own life through her child. In this case she thinks it was her missing out on education so she’s making sure her daughter doesn’t. Worse, she’s conflating education success in her mind to her connection to her daughter. Things are “good” between them when that is good and she doesn’t have the emotional tools to interpret things differently. The good results prove the love her eyes can’t see.

What she doesn’t realize is that the biggest loss in her life actually was missing out on real love and affection from everyone who should have given it to her freely from her parents to her good for nothing husband she didn’t pick. If she only had her education she wouldn’t have been stuck in that shrinking loveless world. Partially true, but she’s learned the wrong lesson from her life.

So when her kid, at the doorway to reaching the educational success she missed out on, finds romantic love it feels more like a threat to what she sees as their connection. And since she’s so fucked up about love she can’t feel it from her daughter outside of a very specific context that is trapping her daughter and creating this false line in the sand. She needs to love freely without all of the conditional baggage to really love her daughter right and be able to feel loved properly too. Maybe this knock to her head and brush with mortality will at least force her to let someone without bad motives care for her. Something she’s never had.

Oh nice. I just finished season two on Gaga the other day. Way back when I looked at the wiki to see if the series was based on a manga it was super confusing with the non-yuri manga that came first. Anyways, weird way to get there but got there in the end I guess.

If you like this check out their earlier “I'm a Cabaret Hostess But I Fell For a College Girl” (is this only at MD?) which went for just one volume but has similar humor. I wish they got to do longer series, but this one looks to be short as well? At least it is structured to be short. I want more though.

I can’t drum up any hate for either of them. Their motivations are easy to get and teenagers being a touch insecure and selfish (Diana) or stubborn in their plans (Lapis) is what makes a plot move forward.

It appears the live action is getting a s2 of some sort.

That might explain her taking a month out of her current series when she doesn’t seem low on energy. At least for older women. cough

I’m not sure if she is actually drawing more of this manga or just working on the script. Or if it will eventually swing back around in manga form.

So this is confirmation that she is an actual vampire then, yeah? I wonder why she's so ignorant of the laws and how her own powers work then

It's still possible to be a vampire...and be extremely sheltered with delusions of grandeur. It's like the countryside to the big city trope.

Without seeing other vampires it's hard to tell what the norm is or if everyone is typically compliant with laws regarding humans and living integrated vs the stray orthodox vampire sects or whatever clashing. So far we've heard of one (likely idiot by the sounds of it) who got in trouble with the law and the MC.

The Sanrio Character Pop-Up Shop opened online with a (not my favorite) proxy option.

This was just picked up by Yen Press. Monster yuri well represented lately I feel. They've named it "Common-Sense Monster".

Good news. At the end of volume 8 she said her editor informed her things are going well enough to end the series as originally planned with volume 9. So everything seems to be pointing in the right direction for this to get the intended ending after that scare.

Also she said that Volume 1 in print is going ahead with a March release as well.
