Forum › It's a Detached Relationship. discussion
Although.. I am just starting to read Flowerchild's manga (because of 'A Face You Shouldn't Show'), I find the MC quiteeee disturbing in Chapter 01.
But hey! It's Flowerchild's manga we're talking about.
And that Flowerchild reminds me of Asagi Ryuu sensei (sensei that draws and writes yuri manga in a H style).
But unlike Asagi Ryuu sensei who draws his (I believe Asagi sensei is a man) yuri characters though lewd, but they still show each other pure, passionate love, Flowerchild's yuri manga goes a wholeeeee different direction that is unexpected , not pure, in fact very male gaze-ish (very straightforward), and yet, the story works!
So, I guess this is the turning point for the yuri stories I've been reading so far.
Actually, it's pretty good, the storytelling, and the characters here displayed quiteeee creepy personality yet acceptable range.
Though I have a feeling that Flowerchild's yuri mangas are leaning towards H and probably male-oriented readers than the females.
Speaking of CH01, luckily the development is going towards yuri.
Imagine this sort of scenes have been playing over and over in real life, except that it's fishing: people creates fake female identity through dating app, connects with the other female, tries to chat with them and get them emotionally attached, then finally tries to get them to send money, or worse off, sending fake female selfies and asked them to send back in return, then invite her to a hotel, only to find out that it's man who's behind all of these, trap them inside and bad ending ensued.
Other than that..
I really like the Youchien side-stories.
It's so much fun seeing the kids playing around together, and sensei to take care of them :3
Haven't read a good story for awhile now while crying.
Thank you, Flowerchild san, thank you!
It's a good story.

it was such a good read
SO GOOD. Everything about this manga was delicious!!!!! I knew this was gonna be a masterpiece when Aya understood exactly what was Sei wanted out of her and willingly had sex that 100% looked like self-harm. WAITER! More emotionally difficult sexual relationships in yuri please!!
I just. Loooove it when everyone is obsessive and a bit immature and selfish and acts erratically in romance stories. I also liked that they had a happy but realistic ending where they acknowledged that Sei still has feelings for Yoru (and might even "relapse") but that shouldn't really impede the development of her relationship with Aya.
The only weakness in my opinion is that Haruki's inclusion was very... Random???? It just felt like a bonus character to torment lol. Too bad because she was the most likable character of the bunch, yes, non-consensual peeping and all.
A little OOT but that comment on the 1st page about this sort of story not being for ppl who only speak English is so trueeee lmaoooo and that's because their taste hasn't been forged by awful telenovelas full of unnecessary drama and gratuitous cruelty <3.

Got around to reading this waiting for the next A Face You Shouldnt Show chapter and binged it in a day. FLOWERCHILD is such an excellent mangaka, her characters are beautiful messes full of flaws and trauma, her storytelling is paced interestingly, never predictable and always full with drama that sucks you in, and her art is so scrumptious i wanna put it in my mouth.
I really love how she inverts the power dynamic in this one by making Sei the vulnerable part of the relationship and being the catalyst for Aya to get a hold of her own life and grow as a person to take care of the woman she reluctantly fell in love with, which in turn helped Sei to do more than just going with the motions of life waiting for Yoru to return to her. All of that culminating with Aya overflowing with tears of joy when Sei finally promises her to take responsibility for her, confirming all of Aya's work has borne fruit. They both came such a long way and you can really feel that in the epilogue.
I love a story about two very broken women coming together and healing each other and this one scratched that itch many times over. Its a really wholesome and satisfying story wrapped in the most toxic packaging that will scare many people off or power through it and misread most of what actually happened on the page, but that's what makes it so good in my opinion.
Also, good grief are the sex scenes hot. FLOWERCHILD is a freak in all the best ways possible and it only could've been hotter if it involved BDSM, but that's what her ongoing story is for. Still, nothing was hotter than the frames of Aya vowing to become a more virulent poison that yoru has ever been and Aya almost ritually consuming Yoru's effigy. I love it when a lesbian is a bit of a maniac for her woman and the cannibalistic undertones are thematically appropriate and also really hot.
100/10 give it a read if you dare!
