Futaribeya - Vol. 7 Ch. 59.3 - Bonus 3: Cocoa-colored Memories

Where are you reading shoujo ai stories with excessive kissing?

@Kaldrak You clearly haven't read "Swap-Swap" Although it's more of the yuri comedy than the serious shoujo ai.

@Kaldrak

Swap ↔️ Swap, Sakura Trick, to name a few recent ones.

@Lanay and @HungryIm

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Not that I don't like stuff like Futaribeya or anything. This is my go to for relaxing, chill, slice of life stuff. I just occasionally want something with real passion, you know?

@Kaldrak
Dynasty Scans is usually the go-to place for yuri manga (don’t call it shoujo ai there) and they have a Lots of kissing tag. That might be what you’re looking for.

Yes, Kasumi's mother won't need to worry too much about her daughter anymore.

Mom seems completely oblivious to the fact that Sakurako is constantly (thinking of) getting in the sack with her daughter.
Yukiko's art can be so casually romantic and gorgeous. This was really beautiful.

 

[HungryIm]

@Kaldrak Oh yeah, Yuri Moyou may also be your style

That's the thing, it isn't. I've actually noticed this as well: they put themselves at the center on world maps. I don't know if any other countries do that, but I recall world maps in America situation countries based on objectivity rather than... well honestly, I'm not sure. Pride? Convenience (here's where our tiny nation is! You are here!)? In America west was west and east was east, in Japan east is center

This was such a good chapter, Kasumi talking about her past, the mom being happy at their relationship, Kasumi acknowledging Sakurakos handmade stuff as her favorite, wow just wow.

Wish theyd shared a kiss.

. @Swifft objectivity? Ehhhhhh. Maps in the US are typically based around the prime meridian which was Britain et al placing themselves in the middle of everything. To my knowledge a lot of places put themselves in the middle of the map like that before the Greenwich meridian was made standard.

I mean it makes sense to put your world maps with your country at the middle for convenience calculating distance, pathjng etc. Its pretty hard to wrap your ruler around the edge of a map.

At least for me, that's the charm of Futaribeya. They know they're in love with each other, everyone around them knows they're in love with each other, and even the readers too.

It's comfy as fuck, it's fun to read, no drama bullshit, and no excessive kissing and (god forbid) fucking on every chapters. Those cliche made me bored real fast.

And if I wanted to watch 2 girls fucking each others' brains out, I would rather read hentai doujins, not 4komas lol.

TL;DR Futaribeya is nice because it's comfy af.

Couldn't agree more, I'm not exactly bored of excessive affection, but I can find those elsewhere

I mean, considering how the author phrases a lot of their dialogue and interactions, it's pretty clear how important they are to each other. I won't put my words into the author mouths, but mostly I guess that Yukiko wants to show how a relationship doesn't need to be established by words (nor viewed in full detail from the outside) to be something important an beautiful to those within it. I legit feel that if Yukiko were to officialize their relationship it would be out of pure fanservice, and quite cheap at it, at least for me.

"...Yukiko wants to show how a relationship doesn't need to be established by words (nor viewed in full detail from the outside) to be something important an beautiful to those within it."
well said, i love the understated, casual love, they're beyond grand displays and embellished words
