    Even Though I Transmigrated as a Villainess, I'd Rather Raise a Cat - Ch. 10

    Yeah, I mean you could say she just wasn't paying attention but like, if the mc is going to have to participate in this kind of thing on a consistent basis and she is entirely reactive instead of proactive she's boned. Imo, the tea-party thing is blah anyways, but it's a given for Korean fantasy...

    My New Friend Wasn't What I Expected - Ch. 35

    It did feel like the story arc wrapped up but like, I thought this was moving into romance territory and that would be the next/last arc. It's been building since early on when she said she would need to "find somebody else to talk about romance with" which implied she had a crush. But they're...

    The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All

    I would be disappointed if this turned out to be yet another "series ends when they get together, 50/50 on whether they even kiss" type of deal. The manga started as a love story, the part about becoming a musician felt more like a side plot that ended up overtaking the main plot in progress. To...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 8

    It's nice just by the fact that it's a little different, but it makes sense that those things may feel distressing or even dysphoric for somebody suddenly forced into a foreign body. It never happens the other way because ftm is a near completely untapped market in genderbenders, but imagine...

    Shi ni Modori Oujo wa Ikinobiru Tameni Yuri Harem wo Tsukuru Koto ni Shita

    ...yeah lol, I empathize more with women. I still feel a little bad for them when ntr hits men, but ntr usually makes me completely lose interest in a story whether it's to a man or a woman. So rather than feeling the second hand jealous burning in my throat I just think, "oh, well that's lame...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 8

    Ah, right, there was something like that. A lot of the other series in that tag are Girls Love though. At least from what I was told?

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 8

    He doesn't want their friendship to change... there were all these romance flags and all the blushing and awkwardness. I feel like the text box for that final message is oversized deliberately, but is it saying "Hi, this is me the author spelling it out for you, this is not the end-game." or is...

    Shi ni Modori Oujo wa Ikinobiru Tameni Yuri Harem wo Tsukuru Koto ni Shita

    An interesting take. You're right that women aren't a singularity. You're also right that different cultures express romance, especially gay romance, in a different way (often those ways are built upon the idea that being gay is wrong and/or dangerous but still). That's not really what I meant...

    Namaiki na Gal Ane wo Wakaraseru Hanashi - Ch. 9 - 「Guide」

    Ok, so the meter fluctuates, it looked like things were going pretty fast being at 30% before.

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 5

    Too true, even if people want to be better, it can be extremely hard to stay better. Relapse can come completely unannounced and undo a decade of work. Or just kill them.

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 5

    Yeah the Taiga archetype is definitely a no go in this era. I tried rewatching Fruit's Basket when they remade it some years ago and I was like "holy shit, how did I not recognize how fucked up the boar-girl character is?" I don't think it's just rosy-glasses that keep me liking Tora-Dora...

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 5

    I feel like nuance is hard for a lot of people. This woman clearly is down on her luck (and as stated by some other characters they think her personality leads to others taking advantage of her) but that doesn't make her "an invalid and untrustworthy woman" like... these are the people that...

    Ushiro no Seki no Gyaru ni Sukarete Shimatta -Mou Ore wa Damekamoshirenai- - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    The teacher is so unnecessarily gross and creepy that it actually completely turned me off to this series. If the fmc can't trust men and can innately tell when they're trying to get in her pants, that's on those men. Clearly she does fine with the mc, so the problem is that she doesn't have...

    Shi ni Modori Oujo wa Ikinobiru Tameni Yuri Harem wo Tsukuru Koto ni Shita

    Because it often represents a fetishized and unrealistic view of how sapphic relationships work? Or because you think lesbians are gross? Because honestly on that first point I feel it, a lot of yuri is designed for the male gaze and created entirely to fulfill a fantasy. It can get really...

    Shi ni Modori Oujo wa Ikinobiru Tameni Yuri Harem wo Tsukuru Koto ni Shita - Ch. 1 - I've Gone and Done It

    Warning sex talk, I assume anybody reading this series is mature enough to handle that since there's nipples in chapter one but still.

    My Dead Boyfriend Came Back as a High School Girl - Oneshot

    This premise is definitely solid enough for a full series. Showing their perspectives before their reuniting and the pain brought by an undue mourning, the possessed becoming accustomed and then later grateful to the soul now occupying a part of her, the difficulties resulting from having two...

    Yankee JK KuzuHana-chan - Ch. 215 - Motershiro High Student Council Presidential Candidates Announcement

    I don't mind these long drawn-out series too much, although it is more junky than it could have been, junk food is still tasty. I'm just scared the milk will run out before the story wraps and we'll get that rushed axe-volume. So like, eight to ten chapters to wrap up the arcs with every girl...

    Ore no Kurasu ni Wakagaetta Moto Yome ga Iru - Ch. 5

    It's a little bit humorous that the only trans rep you would see in a series like this is as a throwaway character. Where them being trans is just to skip the jealousy arc. I don't know if I would say it's "going too far" like, what difference does it make why they are dismissed from the story...

    The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All - Ch. 100 - Feeling Insecure

    Yeah, I really highly prefer slow-burn romance. This isn't slowly burning though, it feels more like this series doused the flame and set the wick aside for later. For about half of the existing chapters. I'm usually the "let them cook, give it time" but like, you are still cooking right? Idk...

    We Are Not Dating!! - Ch. 50

    I feel like this is the weakest couple, but it's still cute. I want more of the teachers though, I really enjoy their dynamic.
