Indeed, I gave it a read when the comic was first posted. It's alright, and more than half the story is from her friends viewpoints so you get a better understanding of the specific reasons why they all like her, plus some other details of how she's changing the scenario while still being too dense to realize it.

But the art does a lot to elevate the jokes. Basically every page is golden.

The first thing that comes to mind along those lines is Kimi Koi Limit by Momono Moto. It starts out on a downbeat note and gets pretty messy but things more or less work out in the end, by some definition of "work out".

That was pretty good. Really, the most grounded thing about it was the premise, though. After that, it kind of comfortably went back to being a romance manga (which isn't a bad thing per se, but y'know…).

This was also very enjoyable, but I feel like both mangas downplay the harsher aspects too much. In Ebisu it's the workplace hazing and her strange familial situation that are kind of brought up but never really explored in a meaningful way. Both aspects are resolved before they can actually become an issue.

I also took a look at Stranger by the Seaside. That feels more grounded, as well, but with a bit of a dreamlike quality. The author's other work doesn't really sit well with me, though. Maybe Qualia Under the Snow was just advertising itself the wrong way, but I feel like you can't really call yourself a "connoisseur of one-night stands" if it's all related to some deep-seated trauma.



It's pleasant. Although, it would be so much better if the monster was an actual eldritch horror like in The Ancient Magus' Bride.

Why is it so hard to find monster girl yuri.

edit: Elias isn't really Eldritch Horror though, he looks something like a Japanese Yokai which can be weird looking but I don't really see a mockery of life from his shape and form.

You're right, he's clearly monstrous, though, which is the important part. Kind of hard to smooch a dog skull. What Yokai does he look like? I always think of Melusine when I see his true form:

That's why it's so important that she's blind. Any seeing woman would instantly lose her mind.

The best part about it is that it's not even remotely complete, despite being listed as complete on the site - because there's at least 26 chapters on the artists pixiv.

When there are more titties for you to fondle than your feeble mind could ever comprehend, do you really still need eyes to see?

That would explain the dog skull, but what about the chimaera-thing he's got going on downstairs and the thorns?

One time a guy invited himself over to my place to "play smash and chill" and I thought he was letting me know this was a transparent pretext for sex and I thought he was cute so I said yes and then it turned out he was just extremely passionate about competitive smash.

"Completed" is the publishing status, not the TL status. It just means the work is finished in its original language.

Man, this sure escalated as quickly as that one panel suggested. Where the hell do you go from there?

By the way, Biedermann is a German term for someone who is overly conservative and square, possibly while being a hypocrite about it.
