This is a series that I would have loved to see running for more than three chapters.

I chuckled when I read the title but then I was disappointed when this yuri is being created by the Netsuzou Trap author. Hopefully, this will not turn out like her previous work.

Luckily it's just the one volume. The reviews I've read seem to say it's nowhere near the icky levels of NTR: Netsuzou Trap. While in general I avoid Kodama Naoko stuff, I might look into this one further.

More yuri one-shots! While those are fine, I hope they'll pick up more serialized yuri titles in the future.

According to Erica's review of it, it kind of isn't.

I never really expected any of her other manga to get licensed, since so many people dislike Netsuzou Trap... but I do. I've consumed so many f/f works of fiction expecting something good and getting absolute garbage, but NTR was the one time of expecting absolute garbage but actually enjoying finding something interesting.

After my experience with Netsuzou Trap, I don’t really want to read any of Naoko Kodama’s other works....yet at the same time, this one seems legitimately interesting.

Given how much I love the art and design of NTR, I'm definitely interested in other manga by the same author. I do hope this isn't as "trashy" as NTR, but admittedly I'm also hoping it's not as sickenly cute as series like Girl Friends. Either way, it's yuri and I'm intrigued, so I'll be picking up a copy when it's available.

I never said I dislike Naoko Kodama. It’s just that since the only manga I’ve read from her is Netsuzou Trap, and I disliked it, I’m a bit skeptical about reading her other works. Just think about a manga you may have read that disappointed you; there’s no stopping you from reading their other works, but the impression from the first manga you read from that manga artist is implanted into your mind in a way that makes you expect something similar from them, which would be disappointment. Of course, your impression could very well be a positive one this time around, but it doesn’t change the fact that you may have started reading it thinking that impression will be the same.

Or you’re just being sarcastic and my AS brain didn’t pick up on it, and you’re now laughing at me for taking what you said seriously. At least excuse me for trying to make a point.

Which one of them is Morimoto? Is it the one with the bag? If so, then she is fine. Nice oppai.

It's an awesome title, but it confuses me a bit because gay marriage is (as far as I know) not yet recognized legally in Japan. So either this takes place in another country, or an optimistic future.
