moral of the story communication is important

Pleasseee give us like, 5 afterward chapters or at least enough chapters to see how Mom feels about them, how the friends feel about them legit dating, What Kira’s dream/life goal is, and a time skip chapter… maybe another chapter with kissing too…

Was Kairi a stand-in for the author, and Kira for that part of the audience who wanted to see this turn toxic?

Jokes aside, I thought it would be one of those horrible stories, and I thought I'd give it a go regardless. I was more than happy to see this have an actually good ending. Although I usually accept characters in those stories acting a bit off to play up certain character traits, I won't lie, Kira's weird... I'm not even sure how to call it. Success-masochism? Well, whatever it was, it was a bit too weird. Glad she found someone who won't abuse it. Then again, there are plenty of people out there who are a bit too trusting. And pay for that.

Read on the author's twitter that from the beginning it was intended to be short. There will probably be volume extras that I'm looking forward to. I placed an order for the physical book yay

An extra sounds good. I appreciate the shorter series, especially when they're intended to be "bite size." Anything that ends gets called axed so that's an unfortunately normal reaction now--even though the series was always promoted as a short serialization.

Lovely. ^_^

what is this. PEOPLE BEING HONEST WITH EACH OTHER AND TALKING?! This is extremely surreal

Local woman nearly suffocates on a ferris wheel

:((

Cute ending, but feels like it chickened out of its premise.

i feel the same way. the oneshot and subsequent first chapter seemed to be setting up a totally different vibe. like the mangaka wanted to create toxic yuri but didn't have it in them so we just got like, teasing/comfort for 8 chapters.

I never saw a strong indication that this would get more messy than something like Can't Defy the Loney Girl.

Compare chapter 1 of this to chapter 1 of e.g. 'Zenbu Kowashite Jigoku de Ai Shite', and the difference should be night and day. The squishy nature of the term "toxic yuri" may make it impossible to say that one belongs in the category and one doesn't, but I don't think the toxic designation is warranted by a BDSM-coded relationship or an otherwise mild power imbalance by itself. If it's hard to think of any content warnings that may apply, it's probably not that 'toxic'.

That was cute. I figured this would be a shorter story, but I still wish there were at least a few more chapters. Especially with how it seemed like it was fleshing out some of the characters and giving enough info to feel like the story could keep going. I'm hoping there'll be some extras or something to tie things together nicely.
The ending is still pretty sweet, though. I also really like this page: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/love_and_dreams_dont_mix_ch08#30 as well as the next one; the art looks great and it makes me grin when I see it lol

SUCH a cute ending!!

as much I wish for more chapters, the ending is perfect for me. Though an extra just for afterword with others like their mom reaction would be nice. Overall I enjoy this short cute story

This work is adorable
The ending is adorable
I want an epilogue really badly... but it's fine even if we don't get one, they'll be happy together ;_;

I binged read this one and it is soooo cute!!!

an extra of her dream being married would be really cute ^_^

Yeah, that would be sweet.

I really wanted a time skip at least.
Ending this here is just not satisfying for me...

Yeah, that would be sweet.

Fingers crossed for this. The ending was already satisfying in my opinion, but at least one extra showing them as married in the future would be the perfect icing on an already fantastic cake.

I'm so sad this series ended, but sweet. Thanks

Yeah...I was hoping for all of the webs to be untangled, but this is also nice! Got to respect the author for being so good at it throughout, even if it was indeed super stressful for a short manga like that!

I also hoped that this setting with abnormal characters helping each other with their problems, and that the whole setting could be expanded (and include more fluff among the serious stuff) at first, but now that it's over for some time, I have to say that I'm really satisfied with what we've got! (and with it's popularity, I wonder if it could have an animae adaption one day)

Anyway, Jolly god show! Kudos, and see you around!

Now I'm left wondering what the dark codependent version of this story would have been like.

Very fun extras, thanks for the translation!

I'd definitely love to see more Yuri by this author in the future <3

This was cute and I loved this. But honestly now I am a little pissed that we got this for an extra and not the whole aquarium date. Lol.

Well since the story was going to be quite short I think i'm happy the dark path was not taken, though that would have been interesting to see!

ooh I love the extras
