Report CureSolo's Profile

Thx for the follow!

Great profile picture! I love Mahoutsukai Precure too! ^^

Lol please don't worry, I had a lot of feelings about the subject, so I just ended up writing a lot :3
It's really nice knowing there are people out there who agree with me!!

Ahh thank you for the birthday wishes~ ♡

Also, I started reading Tsukiatte Agetemo Ii kana and... I'm kind of floored by it, honestly. There's just so much more to it than I was expecting, way way more than I could talk about here. I'm taking it slow, but I'm really glad I finally started it. It's soo well written; I can already understand why it's on your Favorites list!!

Thank you! ^_^
I remember watching Kannazuki no Miko a long time ago, so my memory of it is a bit fuzzy. But I understand what you mean about "even though we're adults." In a lot of adult-oriented yuri stories, lesbian characters often realize their feelings and sexuality much later in life. For example, Takara initially believed she was incapable of love until she realized her feelings for Ema. By that time, many of these characters are already married and may even have children. While the husbands in these stories are often portrayed as kind and supportive, the issue isn’t just the cheating, it’s also the fact that these women married men despite already longing for someone else like Ema. I have a feeling this story will take that route, where the husband ultimately understands that his wife doesn’t truly love him. In the end, the betrayal of cheating might not be framed as the biggest issue; rather, the emotional disconnection between them might take center stage.

I completely agree that the trope of lesbians cheating on their "perfect" husbands needs to stop. Run Away With Me, Girl handled this issue well, in my opinion. I think making these husbands seem overly perfect is unrealistic and actually weakens their characterization it makes them look like pushovers. Even when they do something wrong, the narrative still paints them as the "good guys," while their lesbian partners end up being judged more harshly.

Uozumi has around six series under her name. One of my favorites is Mikazuki to Neko, which revolves around three people living in the same apartment, along with an adorable pet cat. The story gives us a glimpse into their daily lives, and if I remember correctly, one of the female roommates is bisexual.

You can check out Uozumi’s works and other details on Baka-Updates! ^_^

Thank you very much! ☺️

Hey, sorry for the late reply!

I feel like the initial spark is already starting to fade, and eventually, it will disappear completely. As they go through more hardships and realizations, that question, "Do I love her enough to end my marriage for her?", will definitely arise. I just know it will. After all, this is a work by Uozumi Ami, and her stories often explore the complexities of adult love. When you become an adult, love can start to lose its magic and even feel like a burden. That’s something Uozumi Ami portrays in her works, and I noticed it in Takara’s character too. She knows she loves Ema, but she doesn’t know what to do with those feelings.

Usually, in manga where a lesbian character cheats, the husband (or male partner) is toxic or a walking red flag, like in Run Away With Me, Girl or that new yuri series A Yuri Story About How My Classmate Whose Only Good Trait Is Her Excessively Pretty Face Comes at Me Relentlessly (yeah, that title is ridiculously long, haha :D). But in Pink Candy Kiss, it's different. The husband is actually a loving and caring person, which makes the cheating aspect even sadder. Since they’ve been together long enough to get married, it hurts more, but then again, time doesn’t always equal love.

I also think Ema can be kind of dense. The artwork portrays her as this innocent, almost airheaded woman. It’s clear she loves both of them, but her love for her husband seems more platonic. That one chapter where he went on a work trip really stood out, he showed her so much affection, even saying "I love you" before he left. But if I remember correctly, she didn’t say it back she just smiled warmly. And then, when Takara confessed, Ema cried, tears of joy .

Same here, I need to know what happens next! I have such a strong feeling that things are going to get way more angsty like, a lot. :\

TY!!

definitely didn't see this late

Thank you, I'm not too much into manga, but I do love my GL manga.

That’s really great! I think there are about 13 or 15 chapters currently translated into English. And yeah, you’re right, the manga is packed with angst, but something about the art style makes the characters' experiences feel even more painful yet beautiful at the same time, if that makes sense. I definitely need more of this series too because it’s just so good.

As for it ending poorly, I have a few theories:
1. The two woman just have a love affair, similar to *We Thought We Were Adults.*
2. They do end up together, but the husband is left heartbroken after his wife leaves him.
3. (I forgot her name, but) the one with short hair ends up leaving both of them to clear her thoughts, kind of like in *NTR Trap*, though I doubt this will actually happen.

No rush to start reading it! I think you’ll enjoy it, but at the same time, you’ll probably get frustrated by how clueless these characters can be, haha. :D

Mhm mhm!! Rieri and Hidaka Rina and Ishikawa Yui and Seto Asami!!! All in the leading roles!! We are getting spoiled, truly! ♡

About Amayo no Tsuki, you said it perfectly. There is a certain... very popular anime movie with another depiction of a character who is deaf/hard of hearing, and I have to be honest, every time someone praises it for disability representation, I want to point at manga like Amayo no Tsuki and Yubisaki to Renren and say "this is how you do disability representation".

What gets me the most about Kanon is, like you said - she is a person with a disability, but she isn't defined by it. It's a part of her character, and a very important part, of course - but it isn't all of her character. (Like Yuki from Yubisaki to Renren, too!) I could gush for hours about Kanon, but I think for me, the most important thing is that she isn't a "lesson" for Saki, she isn't her "growth moment", and she isn't there to be pitied so that Saki can eventually feel better about herself. She is very much her own multifaceted and unique person, she's allowed to be frustrated and annoyed and standoffish, and badass and strong, and empathetic and warm: and she's not just a plot device for someone else. Which is super rare in manga like this...
Also, with Kuzushiro's notes at the end of most chapters, you can tell they really did their reasearch!

So I feel really seen and well-represented by characters like Yuki and Kanon, having a similar disability myself (though, not to as much of a degree as Kanon or Yuki). It seems really simple, but treating a disabled person as, well... a person, is the best representation we could ask for, I think.
And yes, Kanon really is so so cool!! ☆
I'm sure we'll get what we want from the manga eventually. I have faith~

I'm happy to know you'll be giving Ani no Yome a try~
I also joined the club; thank you very much for the invite! I'm actually not usually so active on MAL (this is like a rare month for me lol) but I'll definitely try to pop in and check it out every now and then!

Yess! Since we last talked, I've watched the PV like 10 times lmao. Also, the seiyuu cast is absolutely stacked!!! So I feel like they're really going all out for my beloved manga... ♡
I know we have reasons to be cautious about Girls Love adaptions *cough cough Sasakoi deserved so much better*, but I really can't help but be incredibly excited to see something I love so much finally moving and animated on screen. I can't even imagine what Aono Nachi is feeling right now~~
Anywayy, I will stop gushing about KimiShinu for a moment lol.

Ahh, well, I will continue to hope that Amayo no Tsuki gets that far. I know there's always the Girls Love anime curse of only having one season before the couple even gets together... and there's always the issue of pacing in anime adaptions... but it would be really nice to see. So I'll keep my fingers crossed~

About Ani no Yome, I should warn you (well not warn, but like, give you a heads up lol), it is absolutely yuri in the sense that it focuses on the intimate emotional relationship between Shino and Nozomi - and that is Ani no Yome's focal point - but it's not Girls Love in the sense that they don't get together, throughout the course of the story.
And that isn't a spoiler; romance between them is just straight up not the point of their story at all.
But that said, it is still an incredibly beautifully written story, and one of the most accurate depictions of grief and living through it and everything that comes after loss - that I have ever read to date.
It's super heartfelt and aching and messy and tender and Kuzushiro explores so many things concerning grief in it, that I was seriously floored by it in so many moments. It's honestly what made me go, "oh, it's Kuzushiro, of course the character writing in Amayo no Tsuki is this good", when I first started reading it.

Personally, it really got me through a lot when I started reading it, so, as I finished it, it was really cathartic to reflect on how much I've grown and changed, in a similar way to Shino and Nozomi, by the end of the manga, over almost 10 years. It really was a whole entire journey I went on with them!
I think, if you're looking for an in-depth character study on grief, and are willing to take it slow (it's 161 chapters long) and soak in all the emotions, it's totally worth reading. The character writing is just as good as Amayo no Tsuki's, in my opinion.
(Can you tell I really love it a lot?)
So I hope you do give it a try, someday~ ☆

And now you're putting more manga on my radar, haha. I'll definitely also check out Kininatteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta, and I'll get back to you on both of them once I'm caught up~
Yay for being friends! ♡

omgggg thank u thank u
and ofcccc
cure felice pfp,,, immaculate taste

Hihi, thank you for your friend request~ ♡

I'm still not emotionally recovered from knowing Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai is actually getting a real anime adaption!!!
It's such an important manga to me and I've held it so close to my heart such a long time; I still can't believe it.
I really hope they are able to capture all of the softness and sadness and warmth and heartbreak and feelings of the manga... ♡

Oh, and speaking of adaptions, I'm also excited for Amayo no Tsuki! Kuzushiro is one of my fave mangaka for Ani no Yome to Kurashiteimasu. and I'm so happy they're getting recognition for their work! Amayo no Tsuki is so so good as well~

It's nice to meet someone so into Girls Love! I might steal some recommendations from your favorites list, since I've been meaning to read Tsukiatte Agetemo Ii kana for the longest time~!

Thank youuu 🩷

thank you!!

I get you. I think many fans didn’t like Kanoko very much because, while she had good intentions and an important role in the story, the author didn’t portray her well enough for fans to connect with her. That’s how I felt when watching the anime.

Would I recommend the manga? Yes and no. Yes, because Kanoko gets a lot of moral and personality development, and she has plenty of screen time there’s even a full volume dedicated entirely to her situation. Also, Kanoko is really cute in the manga, with her clean-girl appearance and bun-up hairstyle ^v^. Believe it or not, she doesn’t fade into the background at all. After the anime’s events, Kanoko basically becomes the main focus of the story. But at the same time, no, because the story felt all over the place, and the drama was so forced and cheesy. The manga’s style and layout made the story feel fluid and well-structured, but the issues that arose were so childish and could have been easily resolved with proper communication. Overall, the story just lacked a lot of meaningful dialogue and depth. But do give it a shot if your interested, to each there own :).

I agree that the kiss felt rushed, it didn’t feel very intimate. For example, in Citrus, when Yuzu confessed her feelings to Mei during the school trip, that kiss felt genuine and meaningful. But for some reason, the kiss in Sasakoi felt like it was just there to wrap up the story.

Right! My bad. Same here, I’m not expecting much from Watanare because I read the first 10–15 chapters of the manga, and something felt off. In the first five chapters or so, the two main characters had already kissed, so I thought, “Okay, sweet.” But then it turned into a whole love square, with side characters trying to win over the main character, and it involved dubious consent. That’s when I had to drop it. A lot of Mikami Teren’s works involve dubious consent, so yeah, I’m not expecting much from this one either. But I do like *Arioto*, another work by Mikami Teren. There was something about it that kept me interested. I did get some icks here and there due to the dubious consent, but overall, the story played out nicely, and the ending was pretty cute. :)
