enjoying this way more than i expected to!! subscribed and super excited for more

turns out the artist posted an apparently redone version on their pixiv, so i went and read it!

i feel like a couple of lines could use more context with that, and it's very possible some or all of these were full writing changes between versions. the thing where (during her sex work) she suggested lube and the other woman got angry, the reason she got mad was because lube likely costs extra with the brothel. it's one of those paid add-ons? so eriko here messed up and basically was like "if you pay extra we can do it properly", which, of course that wouldn't go over well. imo it's less about her being a top or not (technical skill) and more about her attitude and communication, which is suuuper important in any kind of sex. she also says the reason she got into sex work was that she was confident in her appearance/looks, which ties into the themes nicely.

the painting itself was still on display at the gallery, and it was shizuko that was like "if you wanna see it that bad just go", but the gallery was full of people and she wasn't able to find it before she overheard all that stuff and impulsively ran back. there are some smaller parts too (she was asleep by 7pm and not 8, the "can't believe i find you so charming" line is more like (teasing, flirty) "well aren't you cute?"), and a lot of the dialogue just being much more direct than this version implies. like her boss saying "you're ancient at 30" was more like "when you hit 30, you're an old woman (derogatory)" (fill that in with your misogynistic language of choice). very effective.

lastly, a neat detail that's impossible to translate! eriko's name is written with katakana (meaningless) for her coworkers etc, but shizuko's dialogue uses the kanji: 英 (in this case is probably "outstanding", and not great britain or the english language (lol)) 理 (reason, logic) 子 (in both, common ending to girls names). so like, while everyone else is only addressing the surface, shizuko is seeing who she truly is! and while i'm at it, her kanji: 志 (resolve, ambition, hope) 寿 (a long time, lifetime) 子 :3

Is this manga drawn by AI?Many small details, like the hands, are faulty. It's really annoying to watch.

this is literally just issues in human technique. not everything that's a little wonky or imperfect is by a machine, wtf. also incredibly disrespectful to the artist to say.

anyway, is chapter 11 really nowhere? not even on miscellaneous sketchy raws sites?? i'd take it in crunchy quality if it means getting the last bit of the adaption

this was awesome actually. i hope akechi ends up following in her senpai's footsteps :3

Is there a way to filter for chapters with kissing scenes? I love how this site tags chapters for NSFW content, but it seems there's no specific tag for "Kissing."

I really wish there were tags for kissing scenes at the chapter level, just like how NSFW is marked. I understand this might be much more difficult to implement since kissing happens far more frequently than NSFW content, but it's a huge deal for me. It is honestly heart-breaking to finish a long-running manga only to realize there wasn't a single kissing scene.

if anything it might be easier to have a tag for the lack of it? have no idea how you'd phrase that though

can we please separate them? like i'd be willing to do the sorting myself even. it's such a nightmare to find stuff as an all stars fan and i miss a lot of great stuff that isn't tagged with a ship :(

it's possible some of these are already on the list from previous rounds! i picked stuff that left some impact on me where i find myself rereading it.

yeah this feels like the central conflict is that the girl was self-conscious while the nurse was not. like, to the girl, her nails defined who she was socially and carried a lot of importance. but the nurse seems so unconcerned with that, like she's above all those struggles of social identity. tangentially it reminds me of how missing social cues (eg because of autism) when socializing with women immediately makes you the enemy. if you can't read minds and pick up on subtleties, and especially if you come across as confident, the assumption is that you think you're better than them. much like the anger she feels and takes out on the nurse here. in reality, she was just doing her job and being polite, and that's only a fraction of her larger life (which the girl has no place or weight in). pretty accurate take on teenage emotions tbh

this rules actually. wasn't sure at first with the guro etc tags but i'm here for it

this chapter was really toeing the line of noncon, and i can't tell if that was intentional or not. poor girl was in tears

puppy x3

translating ikemen as hunk is a choice, but lala/ai really is cute

sucks falling for a straight girl huh, nina. that's probably the most depressing part of this

it's amazing how tachy hasn't given herself diabetes by now

so this is really fun but it's also insanely educational. like. i will probably reference this later even LOL, im always trying to draw sexier girls. erotic art is more difficult than a lot of people think!

shizuma/nagisa FTW. art style is soooo cute too, what a treat!

deliberately didn't talk about the historical part because a period piece set in the 2000s makes me feel ancient, so i don't want to think about it too hard

fucking LOVED this. the repressed awkward teacher longing toward her gyaru student, as both "i want to be like you" and "i want to be WITH you" mixed up. and feeling like she has no right to want either thing... i loved the gyaru doing her nails at the end. it's just precious

^^ aside from the irl basis, they have a VERY cute relationship in game! kitasan has this huge puppy crush on her and openly admires her, which sweepy enjoys as much as it flusters her. highly recommend reading their stuff together

a masterpiece

YAY!! kitasweep!!!! the tail hold is so precious

I don't think I've seen "bonding over a special interest" and "opposites attract" at the same time before. I am now demanding with my entire cardiovascular system that this becomes a series.

tbf you can probably call the ever popular dadrock yuri that. it's definitely rarer than it should be though, and i also need more

extrovert x shy, possibly autistic girl. nice.

ten is way too young for this. the onset of puberty is what makes it fun

Plenty of girls start puberty at 9 or 10 years old.

yeah i'm girls. got my period at 10! but this girl specifically looks very clearly prepubescent so it's eh

this is a little far even for me. mostly because it'd be better if she were closer to twelve, ten is way too young for this. the onset of puberty is what makes it fun
