I don't know if it will be full yuri but it looks like it will at least have a few yuri gags at least. It's being described as "ガール・ミーツ・ガール" though which might be a good sign.

After reading the KU version last year I read the rest with an MTL and I really liked it. It's repetitive as hell and a one note joke but its so long that if you reach that far you can't help but be invested. Tsundere love interest is the 'main girl'.

This is a sure purchase but I see Chigusa Minori once again failed to draw two girls looking at each other, I hope the illustrations inside will be better.

>Shokei shoujo
I asked before but I didn't get any answer, I only watched the anime and I didn't like how the girl from the future keeps referring to the MC as tomodachi, considering she comes from the future it doesn't make me look forward to what will happen next, unless in this particular timeline something changes, so, has there been any development regarding the yuri?

>>ナナがやらかす五秒前
I saw this some days ago posted by yurinavi but there isn't anything saying it's yuri, like the illustrations suggest and >>3901456 says it looks like it's just some standalone gags, or am I missing something?

>Detarame
Waiting for spoilers from the anon who's reading it, I'm not going to buy it until it'll have any real romantic development.

Btw, WataNare 5 didn't rank on Oricon, but it was released on the 24th and the ranking is until the 26th while the 10th place sold over 5000 copies. I'm waiting for some sites to report the ranking under the 10th place but I doubt it will make it, maybe next week.
Meanwhile Suisei no majo that was released on the 25th sold 11k.

It's written by the author of Tabitabi so it could feature everything from yuri gags to full blown lesbian marriage.

>>3902419
It's good, but the title is just ridiculous. Only a small niche would buy a book with that title. It seems that the author doesn't want his own book to be sold.
Also, I think it's good because seikiness did a great job. Very worth reading.

The real question is, is Momo going to try to get it on with 'Ivory'?

>>3902913
>>Shokei shoujo
Nothing overtly explicit as of volume 4 (where I’m at now), but it’s fairly good subtext.
Your tastes are fairly similar to mine from what I’ve seen of your posts, so I’d recommend it.

>>3903345
How else do you think she got her promotion? Momo is going to sleep her way to the top.

>>3903052
>author of Tabitabi
I'm going to let it sit for now and wait some opinions about it.

>>3903362
I don't have a problem with subtext, but subtext is about a relationship that's open to interpretation, and in this case they explicitly call it friendship, so it's not romantic. It can develop and change later and I'm willing to go back and pick it up if something happens in volumes 5-8. LN takes more effort than manga since it's 200/300 pages of wall of text of kanji, so if there is nothing yuri for too long to hold my attention I may fall asleep or end up disliking the series. It'd be different if it had an interesting story that caught my attention, but for what I saw from the anime it's not the case for Shokei shoujo. And I absolutely hated MC pushing her boobs on the guy in the first ep, I don't know if it's anime original or not.

I have to complain once again about illustrations in LN. WataNare 5 introduced 5 new girls (or 7 if we count the two classmates) and there isn't any illustrations about them, they could have made a group illustrations with them looking like a group of villains in a shounen series like >>3902453 at least we'd know their character design.
As for the story, I will never understand how one can be fine with sharing the person she loves with someone else, so I can't enjoy it (not that I liked it before either since Renako, Mai and Satsuki are totally unlikeable characters). It feels like Teren is fighting with the author of YuriTama "Oh, you made Yotsuba go on a date with another girl while she is two-timing after she rejected her younger sisters? Well then, I'll make Renako flirting with Kaho, being attacked by Satsuki, having a thing with one of her girlfriends' female butler in the bath, implying something with her younger sister that I will develop more in the next volume, having two female classmates falling for her and adding a new girl that will try to seduce her". Like, seriously, calm down.
The only thing that could save this mess is having the 5 main girls all dating each other together. I hope this is the direction it's going rather than make everyone date Renako.

Renako was talking on the phone with Ajisai and said she wanted to do more of the sisters play they did in volume 3 but Ajisai didn't want because sisters is less then lovers so Renako shouted that sisters can be lovers too. Haruna was on the door and heard that and misunderstood but Renako also misunderstood that Haruna heard about her play with Ajisai so she starts avoiding her at home while Haruna starts to be conscious about her sister. In the afterword Teren said Haruna will be the main girl in the next volume.

It just didn’t sit right with me so I took a look at the last volume. Seems like there’s a male love interest/arranged marriage thing, and he’s still around at the end and uses the word ‘wife’, so I’ve dropped it. Please correct me if I was mistaken about any of the above.
Hopefully this will serve as a reference for anyone in the future.

Anyone read the first volume? I saw it described as "AdaShima crossed with AriOto" but not sure if that's true or just someone judging a book my its cover.

>>3903711
It's a fair description, it marries a premise and some situations like Arioto with a similar approach to building the relationship as Adashima. It even has the switching POVs per chapter like Adashima.

>>3903715

>>3903788
You can also try the web version to see if you like it, but if you like AdaShima, then a slow development between two people who can't be honest with their feelings shouldn't sound too bad for you.

>>3903850
>Now I am confused
Akari is also confused, after combusting so many memories. If you remain anime-only, you'll start to have an inkling of why by the mid point of S3, so enjoy your wait.

Also at that point of the story Akari still refers to her as Best Friend because as much as Akari wants to fuck Menou so hard, Menou isn't on board with that, and Akari isn't going to delude herself, nor is she going to stop coming on to Menou. Akari is not going to delude herself into thinking that she's already more than friends with Menou at that point.

Keep in mind that her love for Menou became deeper and deeper while she rewinds time, while Menou has her feelings for Akari reset, as one would expect.

Also she knows she has to tread carefully
(when she is in her awakened form - her sealed form doesn't know any better) because from her memories of previous iterations, she learnt that having Menou reciprocate always results in Menou losing the determination to end her life, and that it always results in Menou's death.

>For /u/ reasons?
And the great story, it has both.

>>3903909
Thank you for the answer.
>as much as Akari wants to fuck Menou so hard
Did she acknowledge it herself? Like, in her thoughts?

>>3903915
Sealed Akari is saying everything she really feels, because that's how she is.

>>3903621
I missed your last post and couldn't warn you, but fortunately you've already realized it.
It's pure hetshit that wears the facade of yuri at first, which breaks as soon as the arranged marriage crap happens in the first volume, and despite black hair saying she'll always love her sister the most, it ends with her having a kid from the marriage.

Considering the comments in this pic >>3893907 I expected something completely different. I don't know how can anyone consider it toutoi when it's a very abusive relationship. It's nothing like AdaShima, the characters, their personality, their actions, their emotions, the situations are a totally different thing.
They bite each other, pull each other's hair, show a deep disinterest in each other.
The setting is very forced, in AriOto Marika needed money and Aya was in love with her so their interests could meet and develop the setting of the first volume, but here one (Sendai) says she doesn't need money, yet she accepts to be treated like shit for 5000 yen a week, just because she doesn't want to be at home, the other one (Miyagi) doesn't really have a reason to keep having her around, if not for venting her frustration and feeling superior to a girl that in class is part of a higher caste than her.
They meet in a book shop when Sendai forgot her wallet and couldn't pay so Miyagi paid for her and didn't want to get paid back but Sendai didn't want to be in debt so Miyagi told her to "work" in exchange of the money. This is already weird, why not accepting to get paid back? Why telling her to work for her when she isn't interested in her?
Anyway they made a contract saying that Miyagi will call Sendai once a week and for 5000 yen Sendai had to listen to every Miyagi's order. The orders are things like making Sendai do Miyagi's homeworks and making Sendai read out het porn manga loud.
Until Miyagi told Sendai to lick her feet. This is weird again, Miyagi may do it to feel superior to a girl in a higher caste than her, but why would Sendai accept to lick her (unwashed after a school day) feet?
The author wanted them to have this kind of relationship but they couldn't come up with a realistic, natural development, I guess you can only play the suspension-of-disbelief card to accept this beginning.

>>3904924
However Sendai didn't simply play along but started to rebel by biting Miyagi's feet while she was licking it, making Miyagi mad. After that there is more feet licking, finger biting and kissing marks on each other's arm.
One day Sendai decided to cook dinner for Miyagi that always eats cup ramen, Miyagi told Sendai to never do it again and her mood kept getting worse until she emptied a bag of popcorn and a drink on Sendai's head. Sendai obviously got mad but then she went back to Miyagi's home again.
This is the top scene of "these two are fucked up in the head". Miyagi reacting like that because Sendai can cook and cooked dinner for her, Sendai continuing their relationship despite being treated like shit.
But at this point their relarionship started to change. There is more body touching and they keep thinking about each other like "I don't know what she's thinking" and "I want to meet her".
One day they fell asleep together, Miyagi woke up before of Sendai and, having her asleep in front of her, was naturally brought to touch her, going as far as putting her lips on Sendai's neck. But Sendai was half awake and could feel Miyagi touching her and there is a new emotional crescendo that brought Miyagi to order Sendai to close her eyes and got close to kiss her but in the end stopped and threw Sendai out of her home and stopped calling her.
It's only in the last 20 pages that they finally started to be a bit honest with themselves. Sendai forced herself in Miyagi's room again and told her to just order her to do what she wants so Miyagi ordered Sendai to kiss her.
The best part of the volume is when after the first kiss, instead of simply going for a second one, instead of Miyagi ordering Sendai to kiss her again, it's "order me to do it again" "do it again". Marvelous.
While the worst part is (other than the pop-corn scene) eating potato chips while reading manga. Absolutely barbarian.

>>3904925
tl;dr
The setting is a bit forced, their relationship is not as fluffy as AdaShima nor as sexual as AriOto (but there is some body touching), the MCs' actions and reasoning are sometimes exaggerated (in a bad way) but in the second part of the volume it gets better and their relationship starts to properly develop and it becomes very good.
The volume ends at the best part so I can't wait for the second one.

After the message at the end of the 4th volume when she asked Renako to date her too, she pressured Renako in an empty room but Renako still refused. She then when to Renako's home to apologize and insisting she is her ex-girlfriend and they kissed in the past.

>Kaho
There are various moments between her and Renako but there are two main ones.
In this volume they have to play a basketball match against another class and Ajisai told Renako she will kiss her if they'll win and Renako was worrying if accepting a kiss from Ajisai for something like a basketball match so she asked Kaho what she would think if she could kiss Mai if she won the match. At the beginning Kaho thought Renako was offering her to kiss Mai and asked her if she had that kind (NTR) of fetish, then she said she'd rather kiss Renako because she has more value because she is dating both Mai and Ajisai.
Then, when they went to spy the other class, Kaho suggested to use fake names so they won't be found out and chose to be called kanopi (a gyaru way to say girlfriend) and forced Renako to call herself like that too. When they were discovered they shouted stuff like "let's split, kanopi" "let's see later, kanopi" and they were heard by a girl of the other class that got convinced they are dating since they were calling each other "girlfriend".

I'm still very happy with AdaShima, and it'll still be one of my favorites regardless, but I'll be sad if we don't get a kiss of some kind of thing more physical than a hug shown before this ends next volume. I just want to hear their thoughts while something like that is happening. Doubly so after the recent chapter translated was so good. Their love for each other is awesome to read with their internalized thoughts written out like they are.

'Hidden Lenses, Entwined Hearts' is a newly published English language web novella about two Tokyo girls named Reina and Sora who bond over their shared passion for upskirt photography. It's a pretty WAFFy story without much real conflict.

You can read it here: https://mnasidikablooie.tiiny.site/

It's public domain, so I'd love to see it get a Librivox audiobook recording eventually.
