It starts with Chuchun ga Chun which is set in college but after that they're all pros. Love and Baseball ended up being my favorite one because it's just so chill -- there's some fairly serious drama but the way it's treated and how it resolves is low-key; I wish it had been longer but it possibly would have ended up boring because of that lol.

Oh I'm dumb then. For some reason I assumed it was HS from the crossover omake in Honto Yajuu. College stuff is totally cool with me.

Also what looks like the final chapter of Lesbian Report on Loneliness went up on bato.to, but it's not tagged END, so I don't know if it's actually the final chapter: http://bato.to/reader#2d6ea78693dbfc72

If it is, I'm glad it ends on a good note. :unsmith:

Ya, I'm really glad to see this end. Basically re-read the whole thing to get the gut-punch set-up all over again. It is a really honest piece and it is a great window into the feelings of mental illness in general, though the devil is in the details with that subject. I don't know if she really got "better", cause it is a process and I've had friends relapse into worse situations after making a kind of break-through but it is nice to think otherwise. Easily the most powerful work that has come up in this thread and I won't feel a shred of guilt if it sits visibly in my library when I get around to getting a physical copy.

I'm not surprised because of how thoroughly repressed she was. If you clamp down on a whole drive, it will look for some acceptable mechanism for a measure of release. Since there was no way she could project herself into the BL fiction she read, it was probably deemed "safe". I've seen something similar before.

But lets be honest, when people are reading smutty romance, it's at least in part a sex drive thing. Like, you don't tend to see harlequin novels about lesbians, because that's not what the straight woman audience of those books gets off on. There's plenty of non-smut romance out there if you just want to watch people dating.

If there's a bunch of japanese lesbians reading smut about gay guys, then something weird's going on.

My postillion has been struck by lightning.
It's not even a Japan-specific thing. The fact that a lot of lesbians are into porn involving gay dudes is widely recognised in lesbian communities cross-culturally. Since it doesn't involve women, it doesn't place any expectations on women, which can be a breath of fresh air when every piece of media seems to have some idea of what women are supposed to be like.

^^^ Wow there's a lot to unpack in that article. It doesn't really seem certain about the motivation though, there's like seven competing theories it mentions.

I'm a trans guy, who in part came to grips with it via really enjoying gay romance & bl (after a lot of denial, lol). That's not to say that enjoying gay romance media = trans, but in my case, it was a definitely a thing.

I still enjoy yuri, but that's also in large part because I really enjoy reading/seeing people happily in love or at least happily in lust. Also because I dated girls too when I was girl identified. I still read straight stuff too, even though I'm definitely more gay than straight.

Romance is cool!

Changing the subject, but I sure hope y'all are reading Teen Mom. It's a super cute Thai webcomic about a teen just out of high school who gets pregnant and moves to The Big City (Bangkok) to keep it hidden from her parents, and basically gets adopted by her neighbour and a hospital nurse.

In this small sampler: the nurse has taken her to shop for maternity clothes.
