The way the author hardcore sexualizes everything regardless of context continues to be very funny to me. Like wtf is the mom's sleeping posture in 7 and why is she sleeping in skin tight leather? Why are Yuni and Natsume painfully arching their backs at random moments, like in the large "So cute" panel at 13? Y'all're gonna have so much back pain in 10 years. Why is Natsume's skirt so short their her butt is visible in 11? In every case, no reason, other than that porn logic must flow.

Natsume is continuing to treat Yuni like her trophy wife, forcing her into situations Yuni won't appreciate rather than trying to learn more about Yuni's likes/dislikes. Just take Yuni to the aquarium like a reasonable yuri protagonist. It shows Natsume is trying to change, but not really understanding or listening to Yuni about what Yuni wants. No wonder it feels bad to Yuni. Yuni herself continues to be a ball of possessive abandonment issues who wants other people to feel a void that can never be filled externally. That's relatable to me, so I can't hate Yuni despite how much of a mess she is.

This story has an ability to make a mess each in every chapter it always goes upwards and never goes down, like this chapter:
"Look how cute they look together, the girlfriend is finally opening up, right? And now we up the ante, family introduction, then, we close the deal with the girlfriend finally coming out of the closet, hey, reader, I know you want that too, right, fret not, though, we haven't forgotten our dear Taki, the star of this show, do not worry your mind, it's coming home"

Yeah, I think her actions here would've been more effective, say, ~15 chapters ago. Everything Natsume does is too little too late. She is still treating their relationship like it's a challenge to overcome. The trophy wife comparison feels apt.

Fuck it, hoping for a poly route XD

annnyways girl’s trying, yes, but a lot too late— I mean, shoot, meeting parents after you found out she cheated? After your relationship has been rocky— and like, actually wanting to introduce her properly (assuming as a GF)

I’m interested to see where this train wreck ends up

I think the biggest example is this official art https://dynasty-scans.com/images/31155

I'm no prude by any means and that art just...always makes me chuckle. The hilarious lack of spine in order to present that much ass. It's wild lmao

Oh no, are they gonna break up while on vacation in front of the whole family? That's a classic for dysfunctional couples.

Guess we're about to find out just how fickle Yuni's heart truly is.

I can't believe Yuni and Nanase are still a thing. Imagine wanting to introduce her to your parents after you found out she cheated on you. This is a comedy manga lmao. I'm still team Fuuko x Happiness though

All these girls need to do is just stay far away from each other and move on to something else.

some women are really just built differently, by which I mean they have an additional joint above the hips that allows them rotate their lower body like the reptilian snake people they're descended from

Yeah we have a girl that is repressed and has trouble opening up and is ruining her relationship despite her best efforts, another that is so indecisive that if more girls confessed to her she'd probably fuck them too, and another who is so messed up that all her backstory shows she needs therapy.

They all need different types of help before they try this again.

If you can't stand dysfunctional characters in a purposefully toxic manga and have an urge to send them to therapy, I think it's more of a YOU problem than one for the characters or the author.

She's the girl that was introduced 2 chapters ago and Taki is Fuuko.

Nanase back on her bullshit...I don't know why I thought she'd have a different attitude after all the recent developments.

The crazy girl lying her head on the piano promises some mess and a "date"(?).

well it really feels like everything is being drawn out now, short chapters with very few developments and characters making little to no progress in any meaningful direction. the art is pretty at least

It's either 36 pages every two months or 18 pages every month.

Yuri Hime is a monthly magazine.

Problem with too long between chapters is that it lowers the engagement of the readers. Especially since this series has been running for 4 years. So to maintain the interest, they have to up the frequency.

Let the author and her editor cook. We'll see where it goes.

Every now and again I check in like "is this still really messy? Yeah? Lovely" then scamper away until enough chapters build up again.

Please Iwami-sensei. Make all three of them into the most toxic/dysfunctional polycule ever seen in any media and my life is yours
