Nah.

Ah Kodama Naoko...

Every time I read her works I hope it will be as good as her mangaka story. Every time I am disappointed.

Overall cuteness/good points > overall annoyance level/bad points

It's called compromise.

i like how the last page seems heartwarming at first but then you think about it some more and realize she's basically saying "I'm glad you're the one feeling insecure in this relationship instead of me" and that's kinda messed up. Well, that's Naoko Kodama for you.

On the other hand, they both got exactly what they asked for. I think that makes a good ending in of itself.

Four pages... and I think the credits page is better than the previous four pages... the credits page lacks dialogue but the artwork is better.

^ What kind of a savage are you?

This could easily turn into yandere, if you play it well.

There needs to be a tag for short stuff like this. It would help warn me about not putting in the effort to read it when an artist fails to publish work that envelops the readers in a good story.

The short four page stuff is something new to this site.

I’d give some slack if there’s a tag for “new artist” too.

When you click on the work, all the pages are listed in a column to the left of the reader. Usually they're even numbered for your convenience. Here's a tip: if you click on a work and the numbers don't go high enough for you, you can always just go back and avoid wasting your time.

That last panel might be peak Kodama Naoko

@drpepperfan Your icon and the manga it comes from fit your comments so well.

Personally, I'm getting sick of the short, spunky, blonde, pigtailed, "cute" girl archetype that's becoming rather prevalent in yuri as of late. I don't think it's cute, it's not endearing, it's playing on the idea of childhood which is creepy when sexualized, and makes for genuinely annoying and predictable characters. It's an annoying appearance template attached to an annoying personality template that's just unbearable.

Also, Kodama Naoko's eyes always bother me. They make the characters look annoyed/disinterested in everything. Honestly, I should just stop reading Kodama's stuff (I basically have), but that yuri tag is so tantalizing, and I always come in hoping for better...

Ok. Thank you for the reply.

When viewing from mobile, there’s no page columns to glance at. It’s a disappointment when hitting credits page sooner than expected. I’ll refrain from griping about page length from here on out.

I see Kodama Naoko in "author" field - I hesitate at first and am excited at the same time. And it turned out to be pretty cute, but unfortunately short :c

This was really cute, but I can't remember the last time I read a Kodama Naoko manga in which some moment didn't make me think, "this relationship won't last"...

Glad to see another work from Kodama Naoko!!

Naoko, back again.
I never read author’s before reading, just for some reason of habit, but i sometimes end up figuring it out due to content and art......
This is one :p

Ooh a new original doujin
sees it’s by kodama naoko
Welp here we go

Whatever works for them, I say.

Cute wish it was longer

People intentionally keep cats as pets.
There you go.

Things you don't say to your girlfriend: "It's so good being in a romance where I'm not the one who feels jealous and lonely." xD

This. Got to that part and I basically just put down my phone and walked away. Thank gods that was the end.
