TWO????????????

What I love about this author’s works (Zenkowa too) is that despite the kinky shit, the characters have a real relationship, something which similar works tend to lose sight of. But even then, it’s not just a kinky relationship; the kinky shit does genuinely weave into the relationship dynamic in a way that it can’t be separated.

schoolzone artstyle was like a flashbang can we get more ningiyau

isn’t this just the yuri version of “super attractive perfect girl ends up with antisocial loner whose sole redeeming quality is that they are somehow the first person to ever show basic kindness to the girl”

I feel like it’s been forever since a non-fanwork one shot was posted on this site lol

Never mind, didn’t see the other two works by this author lmao. A welcome spate indeed.

Yeah I always have to nitpick when people are like “Black holes have a singularity at the center which violates all known laws of physics and math!” Like no, the fact that our current models predict a physical impossibility is evidence that the models are incomplete.
Also not sure why this has the “philosophical” tag.
@above Fantasy is fantasy because we know it is fantastical; this work presents facts as if they are scientific truths

Axed ):

fantastic chapter. incredible chapter. YIPPEE GAY PEOPLE IN SPACE

unfortunately not it☹️

oneshot about two college girls reuniting after going out in middle school whose personalities have basically swapped (pretentious blonde -> pure innocent type, timid shy girl -> outgoing tease)
checked the College and Older than she looks tags and can’t find it

god i love monday recover’s work, so subtle but not any less emotional for it

Yuuko is wearing Natsuki’s shirt in the bonus comic

“She kept looking at the fish and saying how hungry she was” incredible

These literal 10 year olds running around doing all this stuff... Do Asagao's parents just give her their credit card?

Feel like this one would have worked perfectly fine if they were college age at least

It would've "worked" but it would have felt fundamentally different. Sasakana's works are often about the exploitation of children, how adults simultaneously view them as "pure and innocent" while wielding harsh punishment the moment they step out of line, and this one is no different. Note how the comments swing on a dime between over-the-top praise to bitter judgment (or that one even explicitly sexualizes Kaede).

It's obviously supposed to be disturbing that such young girls are engaging in this behavior. They were forced to grow up before they were ready due to their absent parents (presumably Asagao's are rich and give her a credit card as an excuse to not have to take care of her), but they lack both the emotional maturity and -- at least as importantly -- the social standing to properly deal with their situations. Instead of offering help, though, society objectifies them for entertainment. A lot of this you would lose if you aged up the characters.

Sure, but does the work really comment meaningfully on the immaturity of the characters or how they are perceived by their viewers? We’re presented with some generic backstory about abusive parents that ceases being relevant after a few pages, after which the kids’ behavior doesn’t seem to reflect their ages at all. If the aim were to show that this behavior is disturbing or wrong, there really are not many clues until the attempted suicide at the end. One could construe this as a commentary on the destructive nature of social media, or the fact that people who act happy aren’t necessarily truly so - but the ages of the characters don’t really seem to play a huge factor into this. Rather, they interfere with suspension of disbelief, which affects the perception of the main plot points.

The ideas you’ve presented are meaningful ones, for sure, but I just don’t feel like the author developed them in much detail in this work.

I have a lot of thoughts on this series. I'll share one:

Satou's death is probably the worst thing that can happen to Shio, but not for the reason you might think.

Lemma. Satou and Shio's relationship was doomed before Satou's death.
Evidence. We've seen that Satou takes extensive measures to keep Shio to herself, because she believes that Shio doesn't need anyone else. She refuses to give Shio the support of the government or her blood-related family. It's for the same reason that Satou would ultimately be unable to give her away to her true owner—herself. Recall what Shio tells Asahi in the apartment complex: “I’ve decided to live for myself.” A Shio that lives for herself is not one that can accept Satou’s vision of love.

Ironically, Satou's martyrdom is the only way for their relationship to continue—for Shio to remain deluded by an idealized ghost. And this is the greatest tragedy, because it means that Shio will never break free of the cage that is Satou's love.

I can’t believe they created Evil Yuri
