in today's Kuzumi-kun, Haruna continues to be the best character, accomplishing with aplomb in a single chapter that which other entire series take their entire run to get to :allears:

Dunno if anybody but me is reading it but Demon Prince of Momochi House is ending soon at 16 volumes. The US release is up to vol. 13 now, nice to know I'll only have 3 more to get instead of it extending on indefinitely. It hits that same niche as Kamisama Kiss so if anyone liked that and is looking for more in that vein you might check it out.

Goddamn, I am reading that Living With my Brother's Wife series and it's very good and powerful and stuff. And I love that chapter 46 is one of the most directly fan-antagonistic chapters of pretty much anything I can think of. The author might as well be sitting there going "you. Yes, you. I see you there, shipping my characters. :smug:" it's hilarious.

Granted I have not read their other works, but it felt to me when I read it that it was a chapter that spent most of it teasing people who want shino and nozomi to get together. I've never really felt the series was very romantic at all with any characters besides nozomi and taishi of course

It's not really a romcom, least, not yet, it's more of a comedy with an undercurrent of drama. if shou starts angling for shino as more than a childhood friend, I see that as being introduced as less of a romcom thing for the series and more of a wrench to throw into the works with nozomi's emotional dependence on shino

call me crazy, but i think the yuri mangaka may be purposely writing this relationship in a way that could be read in certain ways and isn't being as fan-antagonistic as you claim.

also call me crazy but I think your initial post and this post's tone is condensing and sucks.

I don't know what the author usually does since I've not read their other works but that puts things into context more if they normally make yuri works? I've been reading it as a great and often hilarious story of coping and recovering from tragedy. Shino is really relateable in a few scenes in particular, for sure. I'm not trying to be condescending, so apologies if I worded it poorly.

I think most of that chapter is Shino displaying the same gay behavior she's been for most of the manga, the most I'd say since the way I've read the tone of it so far I don't see it going for the age gap relationship is it's a bit of self indulgence on the part of the yuri author who keeps drawing covers of the two leads having intense almost kiss staring contests having her characters flirt for a whole chapter... but since she keeps drawing those covers maybe I'm the one who's misreading it lol

Ah, I don't usually pay attention to covers most of the time in most series, I tend to just scroll straight to the first page of the chapter proper. I also tend to skip those little author doodles at the ends of volumes, etc, so if they ever explain something I miss it.

The funniest volume cover is the one where if you only glance at it it looks like Nozomi is a vampire holding Shino's decapitated head, which I think might have worked better in Kuzushiro's head than it ended up on paper.

lol that's the only one I actually went back to look at specifically because that's what I saw as I scrolled past. Not a good idea to have shino's dress blend into nozomi's like that. :v:
