There’s no denying the romantic and sexual tension that exist between some of the girls, I’m just hoping that said tension gets directly addressed at some point instead of being sidestepped or framed as a comedic moment.

The day Hakari and Karane get a heartfelt chance to confess to and/or kiss each other is the day I’ll be happy to give this series props in that regard. Until then…at least it’s better than the cheap and meaningless yuri fanservice other harem series are usually more inclined to have.

Another 100 Girlfriends post made it on here(and apparently also a third one)? Crazy. I had no idea it’d been banned, though I suppose that’s not too surprising seeing how the comment inspection on the last one went.

The series definitely isn’t for everyone(and I definitely have my own gripes with how it handles the obvious romantic attraction some of the girls have for each other), but here’s to hoping the reception remains relatively positive going forward.

Damn, comments went off here.

I do hope that pairings like Karane/Hakari do get moments where they seriously address the feelings they’re obviously harboring for each other. If they ever kiss or confess their feelings for each other in a way that isn’t brushed off as a gag, It’ll be a pleasant surprise.

I decided to reread and catch up on this series after a few years, and this was my first time going through the comments. It’s been…fascinating…seeing the different reactions people have had to the story and characters over the years(especially Mei, god damn).

I’ll admit that I’m mainly here for Harumi and Matsuri at this point, and it was nice to see that they’ve both - together and individually - had a whole few pages worth of almost-not-really development since my last visit. Can’t wait for their dedicated arc that I’m sure will happen any decade now.

Mei seems to be the main source of discourse around here, and I can see why. Personally, my opinion of her since I started rereading this series has evolved from ‘Please learn to identify and communicate your feelings’ to ‘…are you even capable of looking happy?’. I know Mei loves Yuzu, but her constant deadpan and aloofness - especially when put in contrast to Yuzu’s sunny-puppy smiling affection - does give off a slight impression of…disinterest; even though I know that isn’t the case. I do think she’s made some progress with her actions(such as buying Yuzu a gift and inviting her on a date), I just wish that her expressions - things like smiling, initiating physical affection, or just looking somewhat more happy and content around her girlfriend - were a more noticeable point of improvement for her at this point in their relationship. Being stoic is one thing, but Mei is another entirely.

As far as sex goes, I don’t really care if they actually have it or not; I’d just like for the topic of sex to be brought up between them. They’ve both been overtly lustful for each other since pretty early on in the series, and they’ve been sleeping in their own room on the same bed for quite a while now. Whatever their decision is, I just want to see them sit down and address the obvious sexual tension between them that - as far as I can tell - has been going completely unsatiated and unaddressed this entire time.

Overall though, I’ve had a good time catching up with the series and reading the comments here(not gonna lie, Meibot comments cracked me up more than I would have ever thought). I’m not sure when I’ll check in again, but I’m looking forward to it.
