Cute but lacking something... Hmm... Donno even what

Art was nice, though as Shion said, it's lacking something. A second chapter maybe?
I curse all these one-shorts that could do so much with their story TTwTT

I just have to say, all my respect to the editor. That is one big amount of nasty reconstruction work. Well done, well done indeed! Thank you Yuri Project.

I liked it, but the ending really came out of nowhere :o

Little surprised at the end - thought it would be one of those typical oneshots ending in regret.

One other thing:
I usually like these little parodies the scanlators tend to make on the credit pages - but here it was a little too confusing because there was no real distinction - hinting that this was not a part of the story anymore.

You mean the part on the credits page about canceling the wedding was just a troll by the scanlators?

That is the thing - I can only presume - because it was after the 'fin' and it was definitely not one of the numbered pages.
Usually if you place your credits on one of the regular pages you don't go out of your way to relabel it a credit page.

That is why I said it was rather confusing.

Edit: Ok - after rereading it I am sure it is made up - these feet - it's the same panel used as on page 11.

ughhh this is kinda sad. . .

Yeah, that image comes from page 11 and they just put words over it. Not to mention that the dialogue really doesn't fit with something like this.

........

because there was no real distinction

Except that it's labeled credits, contains said credits, has a huge title card which you never ever see on a last page ever and is in an entirely different color.

I hated this. Whatever happened to romance? This is just a story about two girls who slept with each other in high school. Then when they met again at the reunion years later, one was getting married and they decided to screw each other anyway. So, the woman was still getting married and they decided to have sex just once anyway. Stupid. I hate this kinda shit. Because normally I would've been sad anyway since they wouldn't end up together but now, this woman is marrying some guy who she doesn't even love and I feel bad for HIM! Not her, since she's clearly just a slut who will sleep with anybody, as the flashback made sure to clarify. I'm tired of this. It's stories like this that solidify the stereotype that yuri is basically just lesbian porn.

I think you are starting to get delusional and make stuff up right...about...here:

Same here. I feel like there's nothing happen between these two even though they even had sex before. Since it's Kodama Naoko's style, I'm not surprised much about this.

this was like my high school life in a nutshell. Feels

Hmm I think it's lacking the words i love you and we'll be together forever type of stuff don't you think?

It's stories like this that solidify the stereotype that yuri is basically just lesbian porn.

And that is why I use the two terms and not just the one. Yuri, to me is yes basically what you said, lesbian porn manga style. Shoujo-ai is what I use mentally to file any noteworthy stories (series with substance and not just sex if there is any). I know they are the same.

My reasoning for always using both terms and just not throw everything under yuri is because it makes things easier to manage mentally. I'd probably hate the fandom if everything was mindless sex, but it isn't. I'd like to think shoujo-ai and yuri are like the category sections in Barnes and Nobles. You have your teen fiction (yuri) and your adult fiction (shoujo-ai). It's all fiction, but one's more complex than the other.

I liked where it was going when she tossed the flower away, but the ending kind of ruined it for me. I don't always want a bad ending, for a character. But, I really didn't like that the other girl didn't seem to have ANY feelings for the main girl during their relationship.

I enjoyed it, but I agree to what many of you have said it is missing something but I don't know what exactly ._. Nonetheless! It was amusing and worth the read ^o^

You have your teen fiction (yuri) and your adult fiction (shoujo-ai). It's all fiction, but one's more complex than the other.

Heh, funny. Namely that most young adult lesbian fiction revolves around love pretty early on while the adult fiction (and I'm not talking about erotic fiction, mind) generally starts with a physical attraction before anyone even thinks about using the word love. You know, how it usually goes in reality.

Yuri on the other hand? If it isn't twu wuv, especially before they had sex, it's mindless lesbian porn apparently. This story is about two girls who are attracted to each other but had their relationship sabotaged from going any further by girl clique gossip about another girl's sex life - which isn't the eternal wellspring of truth some people seem to think it is. They meet each other again, still share that attraction and might have a chance to actually start something meaningful. Truly mindless compared to the complex literary juggernauts that are your typical "but we're both girls and I had an indirect kiss with her!" romance one-shots.

Perhaps I know what this one is lacking of. It's an ending, in which everything gets a reasonable conclusion.
At first I thought Yamamoto Kiwa (the black-haired one) now still has an love to Saitou Ririko (the blonde one), which has lasted all the time from high-school graduation. But in the end, P27-28, "favor"? "capture you and won't let go"? What's that! What are you talking about! WTF am I reading! What happeded to the tragic mood suggested all the way from the beginning! You (the author/artist) merely wanted to draw some H scenes and never planned to tell a love story, don't you?
I won't recommend this one to any of my friends. Not only for the poor story but also the H scenes. They are eyesores.

... The 45th reunion? That would make them like 60, what?

Such a mixed bag of feelings for me on this one. Regardless, I don't regret reading it.

... The 45th reunion? That would make them like 60, what?

I think it means the class itself, not the reunion. Something like the class of 2013, but instead of using the graduation year, they're using the numeric order counting since the school started.

Confusing. Thanks for the info.
