That Girl's Not Just Cute has an official English release coming under Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, which is ... okay.

Better than okay was the new chapter, though.

lol is that what it's about? I basically immediately discounted it based off of the name.

Having read the first volume and with the second sitting on my shelf for when I get around to it, there is more beyond that since it's a fantasy story, but yes that is essentially one of the arcs and the author says as much directly and it's what spurred them to write the web novel series (and it is very obviously a web novel in its style).

i legitimately hate 'how do we relationship'

the series deals with gay teen suicide and social abuse

I really dont think the title belittles the content of the story.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

i think it does, or at least presents a very inconsistent image of the tone and flavor of the story

its a story thats aiming to be a bit more like, real than a lot of high school set yuri, giving it a goofy title kinda undermines that

plus the original title is a line the series leans into sometimes, the fact they just got into a relationship casually, whereas 'how do we relationship' presents it as something they wanted to do for a while but are having trouble executing

idk it just doesnt line up with what the story wants to be at all

even having just read the oneshot personally, that title is comically unfitting for that original story. like it would set the exact opposite expectations for what you'd be getting

even if you don't take into consideration how it doesn't reflect the manga's content, wording the title like that does make it sound like some dated meme-speak it's a bad choice all around.

this title tho

You can do it, Douki-chan.


As a word of warning, there are a couple instances, especially in early chapters, where this is basically softcore porn.

""Cute" love story of girls who will stop at nothing but making the Chad theirs!"

I opened the link and the volume cover made that readily apparent. That's gravure, isnt it? e: or whatever that term is

It gets toned down as the series goes down, though not completely.

But yes. Still, it's cute and funny. (And the guy is far from what I would call a chad, just for the record.)

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

extremely strange to say 'toned down' when its an ecchi comedy through and through. and yeah its basically just gravure. there's some good visual comedy but 'chad' is just weird editorializing since the guy barely has a face much less a personality, and theres barely any dialogue or anything. so again, there's some decent visual comedy but it's a weird thing to pull 'i read it for the articles' with, especially since the entire cast is clearly adults so its not like theres anything wrong with it being sexual.

like there's literally a gag where two girls wake up in bed together and the entire joke is that they may or may not have had sex. im not saying its a bad thing, its just theres little there other than visual comedy and sexy office ladies. its good at those two things. no real reason to pretend its anything else.

I don't know where you got "I read it for the articles" from "it's cute and funny", but ok.
