I have spent the latter part of the evening reading the works of Hiyori Otsu that I hadn't before. It's some pretty solid yuri. Also Otomodachi kara Hajimemashou (same author), which isn't currently yuri, but might be before all is said and done, and is good either way. I listened to the Chihayafuru OSTs while reading, and that worked pretty well.

Following my lead in this would be far from a poor decision.

I really want to find anything Asou Kai has written that's been scanlated, because as far as I can tell this is her only licensed work, which is really a shame because it's that good.

Sono Mama de is very good. Long-term unrequited crush becomes requited, I think they're in their mid-20s. I think the rest of her stuff is at the very least decent, but this one I particularly remember.

I've been avoiding house of the sun cause it wasn't finished but now that it is. Will I get a happy ending or what? I'm tired of reading poo poo that just results in the opposite.

actually from what I've seen form going through this thread from the beginning, is there any happiness to be had at all from this manga?

The original ending was pretty solid but yeah this is an even better send-off. What a wonderful series.

A lot of the drama will hit hard, since it's more about various issues with family rather than romance, but most/all of the various plotlines have :unsmith: resolutions.

There are sad bits but it is still one of the happiest and most optimistic manga I've ever read.

Man that was such a good send off chapter too.

I hate finding something incredibly good and knowing that it's barely getting started.

Koimonogatari by Tohru Tagura

quote:

Hasegawa Yuiji accidentally finds out that his classmate, Yoshinaga Yamato, is gay. Eventually, he realises Yamato’s gaze is directed towards an unattainable love. From a study group together Yuiji finds out that Yamato is a “pretty nice guy,” and despite his awkwardness, starts wishing for his happiness...
2 chapter so far but they're at least nice and long. At this point it feels more like slice of life with a friendship developing between the two leads vs a romance although it's kind of obvious that it'll get to that point eventually. The slow burn is pretty great though and the interaction between the group of friends feels really natural. The first chapter is more from Hasegawa's POV but the second one switches to Yamato and you get more of his thoughts and all of the stress and anxiety he's feeling. It's really good. According to the person scanning it, volume 1 will have 4 chapters and there are a total of 6 published (apparently 5 and 6 are drastically shorter too), with a total plan for 3 volumes to complete it.

I was looking for more by the same author so I read Haikei, Niisan-sama despite it being an incest story and it was completely heartbreaking. I'm not going to recommend it beyond this single mention because well, incest, but if you aren't put off by that it's worth reading.

Keep your eye on Amazon, I've seen the price go down to $12 or so on two separate occasions in the last few months. I bought a second copy on one of those occasions and put it up as an auction on eBay and it only *actually* sold for about $50 after about 10 bids or so. I have a hard time believing people would *actually* pay $100 for a copy. I'm hanging on to my last one though, Nakaba is way too drat adorable of a character. Also, shounen-ai that feels like it's written about real teenagers (like yaoi that feels like it's written about real adults) is altogether too rare, unfortunately. I really need to get 'round to reading some of her other stuff, though.

It was entertaining. Is there anything else like this series? I find it funny without the humor getting too grating.

Good to know, I'll keep watching it. It's one of my favorites that I've re-read enough that I'd really like to have a physical copy.

Kiss Him, Not Me is on Crunchyroll and is really cute if you haven't read it and like shoujo stuff. A fat fujoshi loses a bunch of weight and gets a harem, it's funny and silly but also has the usual Junko heart-squeezing moments and gorgeous art.

I don't know if it will grate you, but The Real Her and Yurika's Campus Life are both funny and fun, storywise. The jokes are mainly about lesbian sex in those, so a different tone than Shinozaki.

Yurika's Campus Life had me laughing so I'll check out the other one later. Thanks!

EDIT: The Real Her was funny too. I also liked the hell out of that Hana and Hina series.

The Real Her is pretty good and just got updated 4 days ago after like a year of radio silence. I don't know what the gently caress happened with the foot on page 15, though.

Kinda sad it updates so infrequently. Manages to avoid getting outright gross like some of the other comedy-focused yuri series. Definitely up there with Real Her and Shinozaki.

I've been enjoying A Kiss And A White Lily, it manages to be goofy/funny sometimes. (The Kurosawa/Shiramine chapters are borderline at times, but the rest of it is harmless.)

A Kiss and the White Lily is good when it focuses on the main couple but seems to meander off and focus on side characters I don't care about at all for multiple chapters.

I wouldn't call it gross but the main character of Yurika's Campus Life not being gay and just seducing girls to get what she wants never really sat very well with me.
Something like Virgin's Empire having too much fanservice is the only other thing I can think of really.

I mean, for an ostensibly straight girl she gets pretty enthusiastic about the idea of seducing women as a solution to all her problems by a few issues in, to the point where she's striking poses and making proud declarations of her intent to achieve victory and it basically becomes a shounen fighting manga with lesbian sex instead of fighting.

Virgins' Empire I was scared away from just based on the vibe I got from the title and description, though: good to know I'm not missing much.

Eh, the titles dumb but it's just a not very funny comedy with some panty shots. I've never mentioned it because it's not very good rather than any creep factor.

That joke sort of recedes after a few chapters, but it doesn't get replaced by anything groundbreaking in terms of manga humor. It is well-written and the art is very goofy though.

And I hope Yuru Meburu Hibi goes on for 100 more chapters.
