Telework as a mature romance really hits, its a refreshing change of pace from the shear number of high school shoujo. (though those are entertaining in their own way like you and I are polar opposites)

EDIT: While I have the page snipe top post.

it's always a struggle finding more romances featuring actual adults. usually the best I can hope for is the last volume or two being set later on

Not that long ago, I did an advanced search for 'adult couple' tag with the romance genre, and filtered out anything that hadn't been completely scanlated - I think there were less than 300 in total.

There's something to be said about the kind of kindness and obliviousness that stokes the flames of love.

I apologize, my social skills need some work, especially romantic-type stuff... but why is this "unfair" or seemingly uncomfortable to the gal in the background?

Because she brought chocolate for the hatted girl.

Also because the characters are generally awkward anyway, what with one mistaking the other for a boy, and the other not bothering to correct her or point out they're in the same class at school.

She expected simple chocolate, not romantic flowers, and was overwhelmed. It's not unfair as a bad thing, but as "You cranked up the charm unexpectedly, making me more lovey-dovey embarrassed than I was prepared for".

Hm ok. So the flowers is considered a higher-level gift. But don't they like each other? I think it's really sweet hat girl remembered that braid girl doesn't want chocolate, so she got her something more meaningful instead. That's awesome. But I guess I can also see where braid girl might feel some guilt or shame for not going beyond the cultural standard. It's ok, I think. The Gift Exchange love language is some tricky stuff from my perspective.

Anyone got a MD link to this series?

It would be expected that people would hand out chocolate to everyone in their class out of obligation but not only did hat girl remember that braids was concerned about chocolates, but got her a flower which is indeed a more intimate kind of gift. All while Braids has been one-sidedly crushing on hat girl adding to her fluster.

Braid girl has a crush on hat girl but is still coming to terms with what that says about her sexual orientation. Hat girl is completely oblivious and thinks they're just friends, but nevertheless is making a completely effortless romantic gesture.

The Potetto ones tend to be clearer, though I can't vouch for their accuracy. I like to read both; it gives an interesting triangulation toward what the original Japanese was.

tough call maybe, i went with tonikaku cause they had been tling it beforehand and were sniped by the other group despite not having any inactivity or quality issues. the other group has tl'd some extra stuff from both the anime and manga so they certainly have enough love for the series but its unclear why they also took over the main series.

i also then realized later i know a translator from tonikaku and they were complaining about how they have to rush stuff and lose quality because its inevitably a competition now. oh, scanlations.

I will typically read whichever translator was doing it first, cos sniping seems so rude. I know there are no rules or whatever, but it's just impolite.

i hate when they do this because it means i just drop the series instead of reading either.

Rushing releases because there's another group also doing them is a dumb move. Also just read whichever translation you think is better. It'll usually be the group that was already doing it and isn't rushing to try to get theirs out first though.

Subtraction Tautology is great, and just updated. The simplistic artstyle might turn some off, but IMO it's charming even at the start and the artist refines the style a lot as it goes on.

Not a particularly dark series in the slightest I would say, but it does touch on some heavier themes. Just a warning for those who don't (or do I guess) like that.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I’m coming back to SA after a long time away and in that time I’ve become addicted to romance, rom-coms, and especially yuri poo poo.

Anyone else reading The Guy She Was Interested in Is Not Actually a Guy?

Goddamn that’s some cleansing poo poo every Sunday every morning.
