Honestly the easiest way to win here is to make a porno. Just record them fucking and Io having a good time being "corrupted" and saying "I don't care about you anymore, mommy" or whatever. Let it all fall apart, go full fuck it route and corrupt. Io won't be back seen with her mother, her mother will finally free Io, and though their lives will be as good as gone, it won't really matter anymore. Her mother will now have no proof of kidnapping, Io gets to be with Misa and finally they get some shit money through selling porn. For the plan to work also there should be multiple films sold at the same time. Every paparazzi will eat it up and that's that, the end of Io.

best comment so far. i want this ending now

aoyama's arc is soooooo GOOD. i loved everything so far but this is on a whole new level

this is 100% smile precure, no aikatsu here

this is like at least half the ogutama fics in existence, in any language

idk if anybody else has expressed this sentiment, but i just read everything up so far and. it's so realistic it's actually a little bit frightening, like this is EXACTLY what it's like to exist on certain parts of twitter. the friend circle fallout and drama especially hit a weird note for me lol. absolutely nothing as terrifying as waking up to everyone you thought you were cool with having you blocked. fantastic story imo

^ my mother wore one when she was pregnant with me. apparently it helped a lot with comfort and support. things you only learn when you're in ren fairs, i guess lol

gotta watch/read nana one day, just a hell of a commitment. art here is gorgeous

I reread the whole thing and I realized it's the slow pace that makes Ibu tolerable for me lol

if anything, the thing that surprised me most on a reread was how much i didn't like yosshi. she's really pushy and has a habit of doing her thing and dragging everybody else with her, regardless of how they feel. the cultural festival chapter with her ignoring what umi said and just taking her to see the show, or frequently talking over her and making assumptions. to a point this is a character flaw with umi too, that she isn't good at putting her foot down and setting clearer boundaries, and i don't think yosshi means badly by any of it. but on a personal level she annoys me ngl

ibu is a pain in the ass but she's also an awkward creature and that gives her points with me

hey, not to be a pain in the ass, but i submitted a single image translation i did and i was wondering if that'll get posted anytime soon. last time i submitted one of my translations (a 4 page fancomic), it never got posted at all, and that was months and months ago. is it getting eaten by the queue, or is there a reason either was rejected? i'm willing to be patient with the image, just with this track record it worries me a little. if any mod/staff could help or explain i'd appreciate it, thanks!

edit: awesome, the image is up. you can disregard that part! my question about the 4 page manga still stands

i'm one of those people with extreme sensitivity to bitterness and tbh lots of foods are completely inedible to me as a result, not just veggies like peas or brussels sprouts but also like.. chocolate? and coffee? if someone did what yuuka did here to me i'd be going hungry that night, because otherwise i'd be dry heaving at the table. and for what it's worth the mouthfeel line made complete sense to me because that's what i hate about all kinds of beans and gourds lol. recently was able to eat zucchini in something for the first time in my life because for ONCE it wasn't mushy and didn't disgust me. there are foods you can cook/prepare differently like that, but... if the flavor itself is the problem you're usually out of luck, in my experience.

i see, they're gonna """sleep""" together!

^ yeah i honestly got really fond of it over the years. tima's work is really distinctive and gorgeous. wonder if i should suggest some of her super old aikatsu and precure art to add? there's a mizuki/yurika pic that i adore

this chapter was pretty hot wtf? riko you DORK you ruined it

^^ this is pretty unnecessarily hostile toward someone just asking for information

^ the question you're asking is really difficult to explain in a single comment, especially in response to a silly image. at the risk of getting warned for off-topic discussion...

sexual orientation (gay, lesbian, etc) typically refers to gender and not sex, these days. there are many reasons for that, especially inclusiveness toward trans people (which is itself a great thing). it does also make sexuality more complicated to discuss sometimes. the closest thing to what you're describing is called a genital preference, so like you could be a lesbian (woman who only loves other women) with a genital preference for vulva. as far as i know there's nothing to clarify secondary sex characteristics. unfortunately a lot of the information online about this is tied up with transphobic and TERF rhetoric, and i'm not knowledgeable enough to give you any good recommendations. genital preference is a pretty complex thing too. you'll see trans people sometimes who will eg be a lesbian with a preference for penis, or a gay man with preference for vulva. it's all wrapped up in a person's own experience of gender and sexuality, so, super individual and nuanced. i hope that clarifies it a little bit? and if i got anything wrong, feel free to correct me :)

but I seriously hate riri, it just feels like she has no character, plus she is completely haulting her chances with mei because she is is so uptight

yeah i also feel that riri is extremely flat and boring compared to the others. like her character is being kinda shy with huge tits and that's... it?

loving the neon signs to maria endgame. please god let it be her

that knee scene was absurdly erotic wtf

When Umi gets roped into friendship chocolate, Nae and Zumi seem to go "what?" and sweatdrop respectively. Do they suspect Umi has a girlfriend? Has Umi told them off-page? (I sure hope we didn't miss that.) Sadly, we don't revisit this.

I think it was more that they were confused why she was hesitating to join them in making the chocolates, but I agree on the speculation that she’s hiding something. I don’t think she’s told them. She told Shou that she wouldn’t and I don’t think she would break that.

she actually revisited that with her more recently, with shou insisting that umi not force herself to hide it anymore (after shou read that novel about heartbreak their dormmate rec'd her and panicked). also this 100% came up with nae, where umi didn't say it but her reaction told nae everything and she congratulated her. so at least she knows umi's taken, even if not by who. zumi i have no idea though.

(i reread the whole thing again today to refresh myself. still great)

I like yuri a lot but bruh sometimes I’m disappointed my fellow yuri fans don’t call out weird shit just case it’s yuri. Like c’mon bruh

you were the one who clicked on the lolicon agegap tagged manga bro.

this was soooo cute, cavity inducing <3

i'm kinda not surprised at the news. it had some fun ideas, but the pacing doesn't let you get attached to any of the characters. like this latest chapter had me like, wait, there's romantic tension between sadako and hanako? since when?? up to this point it felt kinda buddy-ish with hanako instead set up with tae wol. which i was indifferent about because im kinda indifferent about everyone here. it's a shame because i usually really enjoy sal jiang's work. i hope her next manga has stronger writing than this

me too, sakura. i also rip off my bra in frustration when im trying to sleep. extremely real

in my experience on the jp side, i usually see it as like "yuri with an asterisk". it'll always be tagged or marked futanari in addition to yuri. on a personal level, i usually avoid it unless something else draws me to the work (art, writing, whatever) and i'll probably still skip the sex scenes. just not into penis.

as an aside, this thread kinda feels like swinging a bat at a hornet's nest. i hope it doesn't explode into discourse

aaanyway, is anyone else concerned about their potential pro debut when matsuri has all those skeletons in her closet? because that feels very imminent and very bad lol

This is what pen names are for...

i hope that works. it's unfortunately pretty common nowadays for pseudonyms etc to be exposed, like (not my scene but) in the vtuber sphere. if someone has a reason to dig into who she is, it could end VERY badly.

i am also kind of concerned about the actual editor(?) recruiting them. is she going to do a background check?

i think it's a good idea to examine the work through the themes and tropes it's using, in this case. feeling unsafe and excluded from public bathrooms is a commonly discussed experience for trans people, and closely associated with that. if there was ambiguity before, imo that solidifies that ren is being written as some kind of trans character. the author is deliberately evoking things associated with being trans and showing how deeply uncomfortable ren is, both in their own body and in how others perceive them. if the author was going for a GNC angle, it wouldn't focus this heavily on the dysphoria ren is going through, imo. it's important to remember that this is a story and it'll use common cultural cues as shorthand for conveying things. that's how stories work.

healing mikurin <3 or should i say rinmiku?

art is beautiful. i probably won't follow it (<- cis lesbian who can only really enjoy trans stories if they're about mtf), but props to the mangaka for some incredible linework. premise is neat too, i hope it inspires similar stuff

it's funny but the thing that's always grossed me out about this doujin isn't the hair (although i'm far more into pubes than armpit (which is mildly a squick)), it's the filth and stink fetishism and the anal. sucks because it's hard to find yuri with thick pubes :(
