lilithespark's manga / #yuri(128)

Very funny and entertaining read! I liked the mundaneness of it all. Just them living their lives. Fuantei is such a relatable character with her asocial-ness, and Shikkari balances it out. Them both being otakus adds another layer of relatable comedy.

toxic but well-written “love” story. pinky is mentally unstable. they both feel trapped in their situations. i actually liked the open ending and the angst. perfect ending imo. the art is saur good

Yet another toxic GL from this series. Is it bad? I guess it depends on your taste and morals. This includes coerced sex and blackmail. In the end, the leads sink into depravity together. The pseudo-incest was meh. Maybe it was the translation, but it fell flat for me even with the dark themes. Great art and smut tho 2.5/5

Really good! I thought it would just be about a hitman, but this slightly delves into a dystopian society. The MC didn’t choose her occupation really. Her identity as a refugee and her unfortunate situation is quite telling of the real world. I wouldn’t confine this manga merely to the genre GL. This is definitely a lot more than just romance (though I wanted more *sniffs*). It’s a comedy, thriller, romance, dystopia all wrapped into one. The themes of morality were also strong here. Despite this not being the longest manga, all the characters are quite nuanced from the MC to her girlfriend’s father, a priest, to the other two hitmen targeting the MC. I almost wish the ending wasn’t so open because I want to know what happens after the conflict is “resolved.” Anyway, awesome read! 11/10 If you haven’t read this yet, what are you doing…

This isn’t just a good depiction of the author’s lesbianism but also one of mental illness. the way the mangaka iterates their feelings is very direct and compelling. the autobiographical and personal style makes the initially difficult topics the manga broaches so realistic and relatable. me personally i heavily identity with the mangaka’s experience with gender like wth?? why does this put into words so much of the feelings i’ve had for a majority of my life. “It wasn’t like I wanted to be a boy, more like I hated the idea of belonging to a gender. That somehow before I was ‘me,’ I was a ‘woman.’ Like I was scared of being overly defined by those expectations…” I’m glad the author recovered in her own way, finding that “sweet nectar.”

7 they’re so funny! also love how this talks about the entertainment industry, esp. about being in the limelight and not feeling “seen.” I need moreee

7 Man, don’t you just love old women yuri. I think does an excellent job at capturing being sapphic in a world where heteronormativity is the expectation. Where marrying and serving a man is the only path for the most part

Finally not a tragic yuri… but still pretty angsty, though. I really loved this! It really showcases the very real struggles of lesbianism, having to deal with heteronormativity, homophobia, misogyny, etc. I thought it was quite refreshing that the FL is pregnant, but it’s not seen as something to be ashamed of. The storytelling is so beautiful and realistic, and even the FL’s abusive husband has trauma like he isn’t just some one dimensional bad man interfering with their relationship (though he’s still a jerk)
