TL;DR: "Horny-cheating-to-true-love" series by BL artist 7menzippo; very successful with the fujoshi & josei smut audiences, many otaku women's introduction to erotic yuri (at one point reached #1 on cmoa.jp's "women's manga" and "TL manga" sections, overwhelmingly female following on Pixiv, etc). Author's attempt at a worksafe manga didn't do as well, so now she's back to NSFW.Made a new thread since we're getting more HikaSaki content in 2 days AND a whole new series later this month, with a brand new pairing, meaning there will be more than enough material to support one:https://x.com/7menzippo/status/2050160811835031863https://x.com/7menzippo/status/2050161167960887727https://www.cmoa.jp/title/312320/vol/9/Old thread https://archived.moe/u/thread/4313370/
New HikaSaki content will be a short story
Sequel series, new pairing
Posting the "author's notes" extras this time since they're good.
Ah, I messed up... the new series is ALSO starting in 2 days. cmoa.jp/title/362524/
Also, as far as annual rankings go, for 2025 it was #10th in the "adult manga" category and 15th in the "TL manga" category. The latter is a bigger number, but more impressive since she pretty much just dropped graphic yuri sex into a hetero josei category.
These are just random pages for the record, I can't rip cmoa.jp

How come no one has picked up on the author recently posting about their yuri works not selling well enough to continue? It has now reached the point where she is going to pivot to something completely different. I’m surprised her complaints have been met with crickets, especially given how she and her work, on paper, would appeal to most of the people who have signal-boosted yuri before when authors have complained about a lack of sales.https://x.com/7menzippo/status/2072463429861048360
>>4574142From what I gather, she said she's going to finish the current series, and wants to keep drawing yuri, but needs to do some side jobs with a different penname & online footprint to make some money and support a loved one. I suspect spending so much time & work on that "Synergy" series that no one really cared about contributed to whatever is going on, though. It probably hurt her momentum.It's odd that she hasn't even advertised the new series on Pixiv.
