I don't even go here but I loved this.

I love Mero, thank you for translating <3

I liked this because it's so over the top. Everything Bad Happens... because of BDSM and DRUGS!!! #SexDrugsandRock'n'Roll

People (me included -- and no, I don't use any, and I don't think you should treat actual addicts like shit either) are hung up on the drug depiction because the story IS about addiction, even if it's meant to symbolize something else (addiction to a person? It could have done that more effectively without the drugs.) And it's... addiction understood as this selfish individual act of irresponsibility that makes you have Dangerous Sex and accidentally kill your girlfriend. Come on, this is cartoonish. "woooow that is So fucked up!!!" <-- this is the reaction it's trying to elicit and I'm sorry I cannot turn my brain off to sit back and enjoy it for what it is. The drug use makes the whole thing look so exaggerated and silly that the salvageable parts (the emotional blackmail, the abuse) get muddied into that mess.

I did! Enjoy the drug-fueled sex scenes, because they looked so wrong and I love that kind of thing.

OMG I HAD NO IDEA THIS MANGA ADAPTATION EXISTED I'm SHAKING..... Thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart

i dunno if its just me but it seems like the art style has changed slightly?

I think the same. I guess some artist's styles change get more "simplified" as time passes. I personally don't like how it's turning out now ):

what about america

Who cares, we're reading a Japanese manga

This manga honestly reads like one of those fantasies that were posted often in /tttt/ a few years ago (not sure if they're still posted, I don't go there anymore) and s_ss_ tumblr blogs but like, a cute and wholesome PG version of them. I'm here for Kitano-chan.

Extremely cute!!

I really like this old art style <3

The ending was unsatisfying. The resolution was too neat for a years-long issue, and the ending made these complex characters and their issues too simple and flat. Niji's unhealthy obsession with Remu was built up for so long and the main conflict, someone refusing to engage with a person's real self, is super interesting just for Remu to say oh well I hope I get her to like my dolls one day :). And Meguru just lacked a lot of substance );...

I had gotten from earlier chapters that her deal was partially that she just didn't want to be engaged w for her body, but then she sees evidence of Azuki's obsession with her body and she's like I just disliked it because I had issues with my adulterous father but you're fine otherwise, let's have sex. :|

Just the other day I was thinking about the fact that straight women balk at sex with other women either out of disgust or because misogyny is so entrenched in their psyches that being in the presence of another woman while naked will just trigger very unfortunate comparisons and the situation will be pretty unpleasant. Idk if people are familiar with accounts of women who date men who are hypervigilant when they're having sex with men; instead of focusing on the situation, they think "am I hot enough?" So I don't picture a straight woman who suffers from self-image issues magically going "wow, this girl's body turns me on."

And it's cruel to Nina too. Nina genuinely loves her but making someone love themselves isn't easy, much less making them love one back!

As for what might have happened to make her "unhinged"... That's just the result of years of self-hatred. She says it herself, even when she was putting on a confident front, she was crumbling underneath. Now that she had a taste of validation (even if it's shitty and insincere and self-exploitative), she's just clinging to that, because in her mind it's all she has left.

I would actually feel a little let down if there's a "happy" ending.

Too short!! I also felt the ending was rushed and a lil disappointing, but as always, the art/paneling was Exquisite. One of my top 10 long strip stories, wish everything was better fleshed out ):

SO good!!!

All my love to deranged, deeply wounded characters like Mizuki and Aoyama. I also read Aoyama as having been a victim of sexual abuse AND having become extremely attached to her abuser, and that's why her behavior is weird and fucked up, Just Like in Real Life.

And... being told that an S relationship can be something contained and innocent and not her intense and abusive experience must have twisted the knife. I read "so this baton's been passing round after all" a little like my life has been ruined by this but at least I'm not the only one. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

I complain abt people doing exactly what I'm abt to do but this sucks (couldn't get past a couple of pages) (yes I'm an adult who can tell fiction from reality but ppl can also find certain representations of evil shit repulsive, what about it?) and I dislike that it's hosted here. That's all vv

I yapped forever about the lack of Akyuusuzu and AyaHata in this. Feasting on these crumbs w gusto.

This is actually super cute. I don't even go there but it's very cute.

I’m confused. Why didn’t the mom get the death penalty?

...what type of country do you live in that makes you think embezzlement is punishable by death????

I live in the United States. I don’t actually know if embezzling is a capital offense in every state, but I think it definitely is in mine. It’s a really big deal here. I just assumed it would be the same in Japan. I guess not. I hope the daughter got taken away while the mom was away in prison. Me personally? I’d take getting abducted by human traffickers over having parents like that any day. But everybody’s entitled to their own opinions

Edit: tone :)

This is insane. Objectively.

Not only is the art gorgeous, I'm intrigued by these developments too!!

Ayumu is soooo my type <3 I'm rooting for her always. This is very cute and one of my favorite current yuri works.

This is so fun! Thank you for translating it!

I loved that Rilke quote and the authors' reading list at the end lol. (edit: it's merely a reading list, like "list of things I was reading for school probably that may or may not have influenced me during the making of this" and people are claiming it's a REFERENCE list... um)

I don't even know who these characters are but it was interesting, I liked the ending. It all made sense when I read in one of these comments that one of them is supposed to be a fan of the original couple so this was a nice story.

Super unpopular opinion probably but the sex scenes, graphic and all, were too focused on penetration. A little boring and not what I personally look for in yuri (I read some het when the fancy strikes and these honestly registered more like sex scenes in het. There are ways to write/draw sex w trans women that don't fall into this btw.) Still, it'd be great to get more NSFW yuri of this quality, w more Rilke quotes please.

*I think I'll pick up Bataille's and Shibusawa's essays (if the latter is translated) to try and see if I can understand why the sex was written and drawn Like That. There's something to be said abt ppl going well the Aggressiveness was intentional and functional in the wider narrative to convey xyz, but like, the idea of woman w penis = aggressive sex is clearly there and it deserves questioning. Why do lesbian narratives have to borrow imagery from heterosexuality, and why do trans women have to be cast in the roles of men? That's what bothered me.

Also the sex scenes were so explicit and detailed and long, they're obviously designed to titillate, and people dismissing a work for having a bunch of lingering piv shots aren't wrong either.

This pic is so sweet, I love it when Akyuu is drawn all vulnerable and cute like this <333

I hadn't really picked up on this before I got into Japanese fanworks, but it looks like Akyuu losing all her senses before dying is a popular idea in the Japanese fandom </3 . There are some Real Heart-Rending stories about this, wish they were translated and posted on here lol
