[writingfail]

I quit my job for a sapphic blog.

Well, not really. I was put on leave, but then I decided, “I’m just gonna go for it and publish this blog in time for Pride month”. So, I did.

Sapphic Sans is a passion project of mine, one that I’ve been working on for almost a year now. I started it because I wanted to share my sapphic work with anyone who might be interested in reading about some gay werewolves and vampires. It is now LIVE and ready for viewing.

I have books that I plan on publishing under my real name and these are the stories that are too personal or too bizarre or too thirsty to associate with my career, so I’m putting them up here.

I don’t expect this to go big or anything, but I would like to get the info out there to those who might be bored and would like to wind down with stories and essays about sapphic characters.

Check it out when you’ve got time at https://sapphicsans.wixsite.com/sapphic-sans. There’ll be a lot more to come as time goes on.

More GL manga recs:

Summary: Aya is a high school student who is captivated by the mysterious "Onii-san" who works at a CD store. The real "Onii-san" is actually Mitsuki, a girl in her class with whom she had never spoken to before.

Review: This is a very cute read!!! The story doesn't drag out any drama. When I first started reading this, I was afraid it'd drag the secret of Mitsuki being the "Onii-san" but it doesn't. It's very well paced while also being a slow burn. They're both very well written.

Status: Ongoing

Summary: Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and to Himari's surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what "love" really means...

Summary: They're both so adorable!!! I love their relationship sm. There's a lot of other wlw relationships in this manga so that's a plus point. There's also some angst here and there. It also has an anime adaptation coming out next year!

Status: Ongoing

Summary: England, the early 1900s. Alice, a young noblewoman, has a Japanese maid named Hanako working in her household. The two have a fairly typical relationship…until the day Alice begs Hanako to kill her. As Hanako tries to figure out why her mistress would make such a terrible request, she and Alice grow closer until an entirely new feeling begins to blossom between them.

Review: The summary doesn't really do justice to the manga's plot but I don't want to say much because I'll mistakenly give out spoilers so I'll just say it's angsty so prepare yourself for that. Both of the characters and the relationship between them are very well written.

Status: Completed

Okay this isn't a manga, it's a manhua(chinese comic). I haven't read enough GL manhua to make a list about it so I'm putting it here. This manhua is called Tamen de Gushi. I think the English translation of the story name is called "Their Story"/ "SQ begin w/your name"

Summary: The funny romantic story of how Qiu Tong and Sun Jing met and fell in love.

Review: It was one of my first GLs so it has a very special place in my heart. I laughed a lot while reading this. It's mostly on the comedy side. Qiu Tong and Sun Jing's relationship is so so adorable. The side characters in this story are also lovable. The characters in this feel very relatable. Unfortunately due to censorship in China the author had been told to remove the confession scene of the main characters in the physical copies and the author rejected to do that. Because of this, the manhua doesn't have proper chapters anymore but the author still does post little snippets of their life together on weibo and twitter. However there's still 200+ chapters of wholesomeness so please do give it a read!

I Don't Know Which One is Love Volume 1 Review

Note - This Manga currently has not been officially translated, you should bother Manga companies to release Volume 1 then buy it if you end up liking it too.

So this is a manga I saw on Pixiv randomly browsing Yuri and then I had to find scanslations cuz this art featured above made me think, "Poly lesbians, I'm in". It didn't end up being that but a lesbian Harem manga which has potential to go into the Polyamarous route, I hope it does but for Volume 1, I accept a bit of monogamy brain. Plus it's by the creator of Cheery Amnesia which is the series that helped me start to deal with my fear of memory loss and just a story I love a lot.

The story starts off by showing a bit of lesbian reality, the protagonist getting rejected by her long term crush in high school when she finds out she got a boyfriend. Her dreams and heart crushed she is determined to get a girlfriend as she enters college. 5 women meet her each of which instantly start to fall for her. Some are more blunt while others are more subdued, we get a look at each in their own chapter with chapter 1 and chapter 6 being chapters where we get to see a higher amount of the girls and even a little bit of the interaction. There is a flow between the girls in her new college life and it moves smoothly.

Romance here is very fast pace, our protagonist is in love instantly and most the women are falling for her instantly and falling deeper the most they hang out. So far we haven't gone super super deep into any character but we have seen some interiority for each of the 5 women. I really enjoy the blazing hot pace and much prefer it to slow burn and this is a thing that really makes this series stand out to me. The first volume ending with someone asking her to be her girlfriend and then another girl walking into the room.

I think this story really shows a cute sense of humor, gags are mostly in over the top reactions and great facial reactions but it's solid for a story that is trying to keep a fast pace, it doesn't need big jokes. The art style is very cute but not in a way that makes the horniness creepy, everyone is clearly an adult and drawn like them. As of chapter 7 the horny doesn't turn into sex and it is mostly people desiring other people. I like that each girl represents on of the 5 senses in their desire for Mei [our protag], it's a cute way to short hand a difference in attraction. It's rare to get a bigger look into desire and it is something most harems totally fail to do.

This story features Student/Teacher relationships as one of the 5 relationships. While it doesn't bother me at all when their both adults and as of this volume because of the power dynamics she actively choses to not go further with the student, yet. I know this is a very potentially triggering subject so I think anyone going in should know, hey if you don't like this, it's there maybe skip this one. I should also warn that there is a character who is not really following consentful boundaries, our protagonist likes it and is pretty happy about it but still this is also potentially upsetting.

Personally I really loved this manga and I really want to see more of it, I hope it's successful. I have worries about a potential forced "I can only have one GF" route as a polyam as fuck girl I can't relate to that. What I can relate to is a bunch of girls being in love with me and me loving them back. I really hope to see more of that going forward but this volume served as a perfect introduction to the characters an world and I hope we can see these loves all develop and bloom.

5/5 Stars

[twig-tea]

With 23.5 finally coming out, the people are rejoicing at finally getting a high profile gl from GMMTV. But there have already been several gls airing this year, including my fav TsukuTabe, that have been flying under the radar with fandom, and in general there are more gls already out there than folks seem to think. I just know you have a list of all the gls we should be watching, please share with the class!

Thank you for the ask! How did you know I had a draft of GL recs to make at some point? [Trick question, I mentioned it to you.]

It may seem like I'm out here hating on GL because i've made a couple of negative reviews of recently airing series recently (Love Senior and Chaser Game W in case you're curious) but I actually have lots of GL that I love and that I wish were better known! Thanks for sending this ask so I am inspired to actually finish it! I've limited myself to series so that I could keep the list and this post to a reasonable length. Where possible I've listed where you can find each of these and included a link. And I've included an 'elevator pitch' summary but I am NOT in marketing for a reason, so please don't roast me too hard for my terrible comparisons. Alright, enough waffling!

Twig's GL Rec List

She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat S1 & 2 (Japan, 2022 & 2024, both seasons fansubbed by @furritsubs; if you need help accessing this show feel free to DM me!)

Elevator pitch: Our Dining Table with lesbians and an even slower burn. Watch for beautiful food, acespec rep, mental health and therapy rep

What might turn some off: Extremely low heat, and quite slow-moving; warning for a disordered eating and family trauma plot (v gently handled)

Let's start with the one you've already mentioned. This is a heartwarming slice-of-life slow burn in which an autismspec-coded woman who likes to eat is invited by her neighbour, a femme acespec woman who loves to cook, to come and eat her food. It starts from a very practical place (when you love making food you need someone to help eat it), but their relationship grows as they spend more time together. The story follows them as they both move towards self-actualization in several ways: as a lesbian, as asexual, at work, with their families, with their friends, with each other. This show is so careful to say the important words aloud. And there is so much delicious cooking! Each episode highlights a particular recipe, and the food porn is real. Do not watch while hungry, but definitely watch. The found famiy vibes in this one one are also immaculate.

She Makes My Heart Flutter (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Younger lesbian friend group tries to help out (slightly) older lesbian bar owner with mixed success. I can't think of a good BL equivalent, The Moment Since feels the closest with its similar bartender/patron romance

What might turn some off: Comedic tone; short runtime; struggles with being closeted

This is a gem of a miniseries about a bar owner and an interior designer who smoulder at one another while an intrepid group of younger bar regulars (including the bar owner's neice) meddle. This series is really cute, solid, and full of sapphics! Once again found family vibes are immaculate (you may sense a theme in my faves). Run don't walk.

Fragrance of the First Flower (Taiwan, 2021, GagaOOLala)

Elevator pitch: Right-person-wrong-time/second chance romance; tonally is a little like We Best Love 2: Fighting Mr. 2nd but with an ambiguous ending.

What might turn you off: Medium heat, second chance romance means they break up once, internalized homophobia, adultery/cheating, at one point there's a creepy dude, child with autism (depicted well), ambiguous ending

At its core this is a story of a woman who can't stop getting in the way of her own happiness. This series is a little more sad than the rest of this rec list but I couldn't not include it because this relationship is so poignant. Plus there's a s2 that supposedly is to come out in 2024 so maybe we'll get our happy ending after all?

Love Greater Than or Equal to 70 Degrees C (Korea, 2019, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Ingredients but with lesbians staring at one another over beautiful tea pairings! What more could you ask for?

What might turn you off: Low heat; short runtime; ambiguous ending; like Ingredients this is essentially a long ad for the café it's filmed at.

This is a Korean miniseries about passionate tea sommeliers making really fancy tea while staring at one another a LOT. Perfect sapphic representation, 10/10 no notes. This one packs a lot of the drama tropes into its short runtime, so even though it's short it's full of butterfly-inspiring moments.

Sleep With Me (Philippines, 2022, GagaOOLala/iWantTFC/Netflix w/VPN set to Philippines)

Elevator pitch: The Truth About Cats and Dogs but the self esteem issues are handled without catfishing. BL equivalent: Hmmm. Closest I can think of is Gaya Sa Pelikula.

What might turn you off: There's some ableism (treated as such) in this show; Open ending.

Stellar GL between a late night radio DJ and an insomniac who listens to her show. One of the main couple is a wheelchair user and the show tackles ablelism and navigating disability in relationship as well as feelings of inadequacy in a relationship and how that manifests as interpersonal conflict.

Our Relationship Ended Before it Began (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Along the lines of I Cannot Reach You; the show gives both perspectives and they are held back by queer angst.

What might turn you off: No kiss (but they make it very clear both want to kiss), internalized homophobia

Really sweet miniseries about having a crush and being afraid of being hurt so you don't actually make a move. I really like the way the girl who has not dated a girl before defaults to gender roles and it throws the more experienced lesbian lol I also really like the way this show makes clear that both of them are waiting for a kiss, and that if you get in your head about things, it can get in the way of your own happiness!

Pearl Next Door (Philippines, 2020, Youtube)

Elevator Pitch: Gameboys but with lesbian vloggers.

What might turn you off: Love triangle, lots of teasing but low heat in the end, a lot of (good) conversations about mental health issues, ambiguous ending

This is the GL spinoff to Gameboys, starring Pearl from Gameboys. Pearl ends up being fought over by the two gorgeous women in the gif, an old love and a new. I love the queer friendships in this story as much as the relationships. I will say it's an open ending (that felt a bit like the showrunners didn't want to decide between ships) and definitely the love triangle features prominently but even in the face of these aspects that would normally turn me off a series I had a good time. The characters and interpersonal conflicts feel very real, and are allowed to be complex even when the show tone is comedic.

Dear Uranus (Taiwan, 2021, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Schoolgirl ensemble GL; a little like My School President but without the singing.

What might turn you off: Short runtime; ambiguous ending; a little bit of bullying; very standard romance trope execution

The first Taiwanese GL miniseries, this series was produced by a Taiwanese lesbian couple (Rabbit & Wolf)! Lots of excellent drama tropes, and incredibly gorgeous women (I think the entire watching audience fell in love with Erol.

Lily Fever (Korea, 2015, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Complete crack; YYY but with more kissing and frankly an even less coherent story.

What might turn you off: The lack of coherent plot; less a romance and more a very thirsty lesbian kissing everyone she can

This miniseries is utter chaos. Nothing really makes sense, it's all just random excuses to cause very suggestive moments (and kissing) to happen. I love so much how this series depicts women being so absolutely thirsty for one another (and yes that date isn't a typo, this series is ~9 years old). Not an "happy ever after" ending but it really isn't that kind of story.

Chasing Sunsets (Philippines, 2020, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Ocean Likes Me with lesbians. Resort romance with a mental health twist.

What might turn you off: Some of the mental health stuff gets intense, this was filmed in 2020 so the pandemic features heavily; hopeful but slightly ambiguous ending.

A complex story from the Philippines covering mental health and finding yourself. A woman shows up to a resort and befriends one of the women running the resort. They get closer as they spend time together, and the resort owner realizes something is off. There's also a BL side couple in this series.

Show Me Love (Thai, 2023, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: A little like My Day the series with lesbians, in that they work together and fall in love and it's full of tropes

What might turn you off: The advertising for the Miss Grand competition, there is some bullying and cheating (though way less than I was expecting tbh), not a lot actually happens, the editing gets a bit wonky at the end

This is essentially a massive ad for the Miss Grand Thailand competition; this GL was produced by the same company that produces that competition, and the stars are mostly Miss Grand competitors. The main pairing were shipped in the actual competition, and the company decided to make a GL about them. It's very slow paced and low-stakes, and there are better kisses than I expected considering everything I just said about where this show came from. There are a lot of cute moments!

Girlfriend Project (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Love Class with lesbians

What might turn you off: One of the leads is kind of mean in that pgitail-pulling way? It ends abruptly (but happily)

This is a short miniseries about two girls paired in a class that are assigned to "date". The chemistry is chemistrying. And there is a kiss (a good kiss, and a tiptoes kiss at that!). This show also has one of my favourite tropes, in which someone who seems like a pushover stands up for themselves and their partner finds it very attractive. For the record, in this show they are watching another GL by the same company, Love Tech.

Lulu (Philippines, 2022, Vivamax/grey)

Elevator Pitch: Present Perfect with lesbians (but with a better ending).

What might turn you off: Depictions of panic attacks, brief depiction of drowning, pandemic lockdowns, illness, exes, waffling, happy but open ending (which I actually liked for this story)

Two women trying to move on from the garbage in their lives meet at the beach of a B&B (where one saves the other from drowning) and become one another's company during their escape and then something more. They both have baggage that seems determined to keep them apart even as they continue to be drawn together. In the end, they decide to stick it out and see where they end up, with no guarantee of happily ever after, which I found very sweet. Requires either a VivaMax account or searching the grey for it, but it's worth the effort (check MyDramaList comments for suggestions on where to find it). Plus one of the leads has a cactus as a pet.

Welcome to the Lesbian Bar (Korea, 2023, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: A little like Fudanshi Bartender but without the fudanshi bartender and all of the bar patrons are lesbians lol

What might turn you off: Short, can get a little bit preachy, abrupt ending

Cute short series with different very stories every episode as different patrons visit the bar. The stories range from women who have been together for awhile, to people meeting from an online app for the first time, to someone visiting a lesbian bar for the first time; and yet the story all weaves together in a way that's satisfying though ends abruptly. Includes some solid marriage equality propaganda.

GAP the Series (Thai, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Kind of the vibes of Together with Me but lesbians and in an office instead of school. Angry boss falls for charming new intern and

What might turn you off: This one is the highest heat of all these recs; homophobia especially amongst family, brief depictions of death by car, brief mentions of suicide, cheating, bullying, abuse of power in the office.

A list would not be complete without this one! Honestly the plot is a bit wobbly but the show is a lot of fun. The girls are very cute, the feelings and tension builds really well between them, the friend group is excellent, and in the special we get a wedding.

---

The rest of these have caveats of one kind or another, but i couldn't leave them off a rec list, so here are the side couples and censored stories that are still worth your time anyway (I might do a separate more detailed post for these, as well as for films, one day if there's interest):

Nevertheless (GL side; Korean, 2021, Netflix) Not sure it's worth watching a whole kdrama for side lesbians? Search soljiwan on youtube. They are great. Even the Netflix account stans them. I watched this (ngl, I watched the SolJiwan cut) as it aired and was constantly braced for it to let us down but it did not! A really good friends-to-lovers story.

Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area (GL side; Thailand, 2019, YouTube): These sapphics are messy and I love them. Decent conversation about dating someone with mental health issues in this series, and they're one of the only couples in this ensemble to get a happy ending. If you're just watching the lesbian couple (which you can, their story is pretty self-contained) you don't need to have seen s1.

Six Survivors (GL side; Japan, 2022, Viki) This show is a horror comedy and it is SO MUCH FUN. Warning for zombies and blood, but way less than you might think. One of the eponymous 6 survivors is a lesbian who keeps trying to convert them to veganism lol. If you watched Chaser Game W you'll recognize one of the actresses in this, the lead actress is from Kamisama no Ekohiiki, and one of the guys is from the prequel series His as well as I Want to See Only You! And yes there is a kiss. Also a surprising number of Mallrats references. Not for people who can't handle gore or relationships being complicated/not a "true love" story/ambiguous ending.

Kamisama no Ekohiiki (complicated question of is it GL in parts, Japan, 2021, furritsubs once again coming through to save the day) This one is a bit complex because there's bodyswap, but the girl who falls for the bodyswapped boy-in-a-girl's-body is clear that she is only interested in the girl. One of the better bodyswap stories because the bodyswap is not a secret for very long, so instead there's a lot of introspection about what gender means and who/what they are attracted to. Feels wrong to call this GL, necessarily, but it's very queer.

Couple of Mirrors (Censored GL, China, 2021, Viki) Story of a rich girl and her assassin girlfriend. This production did an amazing job getting away with what they could, just don't watch the last five minutes and we've got essentially a happy lesbian family.

Legend of Yunze (Censored GL, China, 2021, @douqi7s) Very cute very low budget xianxia miniseries with two seasons and a special. The special is set in modern times in a future lifetime so if you want a cute censored-but-clearly-a-soulmate-love-story this is the one for you. Don't be thrown off by the weird cuts/abrupt episode endings, that's in line with cdramas in general.

Led Astray by Love (Censored GL, China, 2021, @douqi7s) A very fun and adorable isekai story in which a modern day girl is transported to a wuxia novel setting and has to figure out how to get home, and gets romanced by the princess along the way.

And a few additional links for people who even more content:

My Indian sapphic webseries rec list

My suggestions for content with toms (Thai category that's similar to but not exactly the same as butch lesbians) in response to this post.

This really good GL MyDramaList list (not made by me!) lists what seems to be everything I've mentioned and about 200 more. Even I haven't seen a few of these!

My YouTube playlist of sapphic content: This includes anything I stumble across or find in my searches, a lot of music videos and random shorts as well as some microseries and miniseries that I don't consider GL but are WLW/sapphic in addition to true "GL" content. For serialized content, I add just the first ep. A complete mess, but you can trawl through to find stuff to watch, like Hetero!

SOONOTSUE: The same producers of She Makes My Heart Flutter have other short series on their channel worth checking out; if you liked that one, try Out of Breath!

Shakeshoulder: Thai YouTube producers of very pulpy (read: low budget and dramatic plots) shorts

FuFuKnows: This YouTube channel is owned by a gay Taiwanese couple that produces shorts every week, including some with GL mains and sides. These are very low budget but cover a whole swath of queer themes.

@douqi7s is a godsend providing subtitles for all kinds of content, including sapphic shorts and more series than I've listed here. Check their tumblr for links to all of their content; A Practical Guide to Being a Superstar's Assistant has one of the best setups to giving us great moments in the guise of something else so that they get past censorship I've ever seen; I also recommend The Vampires if you're into genre fiction, as well as Legend of Yunqian if you enjoyed the xianxia parts of Legend of Yunze. @wlwcatalogue did an excellent summary of many of the non-wuxia options here.

Quick pitch for the streaming platform GagaOOLala; it's affordable, has a ton of content, including a whack of GLs (originals, license series, and a ton of shorts), and is run by queer people out of Taiwan who care about good quality queer content being made and having an audience, and using the soft power from those successful series to support social change. And if you can't afford a subscription it's worth checking out what they have for free, they open up temporary free access to some things for various events throughout the year.

In searching for gifs for this post I found fellow tumblr user @drowningparty 's WLW compendium list; they've listed more series and films so check it out if you still need more content!

*wipes sweat off brow* that should be enough to be getting on with, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg! If there's something specific you want to see with sapphics let me know and I can tell you if I know it exists. Anyway, I hope this gives you and everyone else a taste of what all is out there! I of course always want more, I am serious about being a sapphic dragon hoarding every crumb i can get my lizardy hands on, but I do think what we have should also be appreciated more. If I missed one of your faves, please tell me!

This Gilded Abyss by Rebecca Thorne

Sergeant Nix Marr is a damn good soldier. She’s also desperate to leave her haunted past deep in the bioluminescent ocean, buried alongside her best friend, Quian. So, when Subarch Kessandra, Valkesh’s favorite royal–and Nix’s loathed ex–requests Nix’s help investigating a massacre in the abyssal city of Fall, Nix refuses. Vehemently.

She should have known Kessandra would fight back.

Consigned as Kessandra’s bodyguard, Nix grudgingly boards the Luminosity, a luxurious submersible that offers the only transportation to Fall. But Kessandra wasn’t truthful–surprise, surprise–and her “investigation” isn’t about the massacre, but rather what caused it: an illness that incites its victims into a violent craze.

When another royal is brutally murdered, Nix and Kess realize the disease has spread���and no one on the Luminosity is safe. If they’re going to survive until Fall, they’ll have to trust each other… but considering Kessandra is responsible for Quian’s death, that won’t be easy.

SAPPHIC ARTISTS TO LISTEN TO

(instead of writing your 69th essay about how Taylor Swift is a closet lesbian)

Starting off with my holy trinity:

Rina Sawayama (she/her, bi/pan): if you follow me you're probably aware of what a huge Rina fan I am. Lots of pop and rock, with a chunk of her earlier songs being R&B. Her debut album SAWAYAMA (my favourite album of all time!!) was her major breakthrough moment as it received critical acclaim and her sophomore album Hold the Girl made her the highest charting Japanese artist in the history of the UK. Known for her musical versatility, she made her acting debut in John Wick 4. I recommend: Cherry, Frankenstein and Bad Friend

Janelle Monáe (she/they, bi/pan): pop, funk, neo-soul and psychedelic. They have an entire series of concept albums about an android named Cindy Mayweather (her ALTER EGO?!) as she commits the crime of falling in love with a human. Lots of social commentary. Her album Dirty Computer comes along with a narrative film and a book taking place in its world. She's starred in movies like Antebellum, Glass Onion and Moonlight. I recommend: Electric Lady, Django Jane and Pynk

Raveena Aurora (she/her, bi): Experimental pop, R&B and soul. Her second album Asha's Awakening is a concept album following the journey of Asha, a Punjabi space princess, as it explores Aurora's South Asian identity and past relationships. Such a beautiful and soft voice to die for. I recommend: Headaches, If Only and Kathy Left 4 Kathmandu

Moving onto some other artists I like:

Boygenius: a band comprising of three sapphic women- Phoebe Bridgers (indie darling™), Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker (the first two are bi while the third is a lesbian).

***

"Cállate y fóllame" Shit, she didn't have to tell you twice. (shut up and fuck me)

You placed your hand on the back of her thighs and lifted her onto the counter.

You trailed kisses down her neck and Alexia let out a satisfied hum as a grin took over her face. You sucked hickies into her smooth skin making sure you avoided places where they would easily be seen. You reached behind her untied the back of her dress and pulled it down which left her upper body bare.

Your eyes immediately dropped to her chest. You placed your hands on her waist and pulled her closer, your mouth attaching to one of her hard nipples. Alexia immediately let out a satisfied moan and brought one of her hands to cup the back of your neck, her fingers tangling in your hair as she pulled you closer to her.

You continued to suck on her nipple as you brought one of your hands to play with her other one. She moaned quietly as her grip on your neck tightened, her other hand gripping onto the counter.

You released her nipple with a pop and moved up to give her a quick kiss. She moaned again as you attached your mouth to her other nipple, her eyes closing as you sucked her nipple and decorated her skin with the marks that she loved so much. You softly bit her nipple between your front teeth before pulling slightly. Alexia let out a soft whine as she threw her head back relishing in the pleasure you were giving her.

"Fuck." She let out a satisfied moan. You pulled back and admired the markings you had left behind. She pulled you in so that your foreheads were touching.

"Te quiero." The two of you shared a slow passionate kiss, pouring all your love and admiration into it. "So much." She continued as we pulled away. (I love you)

"También te quiero, mi tesoro." Alexia kissed you again. (I love you too, my treasure)

"Good, now fuck me." She smiled. You chuckled, this woman was going to be the death of you.

"As you wish, cariño." You said kissing her one last time before you began to trail kisses down her neck and body. (Darling)

You got down on your knees and pushed her dress up so you could have access to her pussy. You slid off her lace panties and placed them into your pocket before picking up her legs and placing them on your shoulders.

"Estás tan mojada." You said licking your lips at the sight of her dripping pussy. You spread her legs more and moved forward licking from her hole to her clit and gathering some of the arousal that had been building. (You're so wet)

"Fuck." You said, taking delight in how she tasted. You wrapped your arms around her thighs and pulled her closer to your mouth.

"Oh, shit." She moaned shakily, bringing one of her hands to grip your hair and bring you closer. You placed two kisses on each of her thighs before going back in.

You swirl your tongue around her clit then begin to suck on it. She hummed, throwing her head back as her grip on your hair got even tighter. You smirked and released her clit. You moved lower and licked around her opening before sliding your tongue in.

"Mhmm." Alexia whimpered as she screwed her eyes shut and she pulled your head even closer to her pussy. You'd never fail to make her knees weak no matter how many times you guys had sex.

You worked your tongue deeper into her pussy, bringing your other hand up to play with her clit. God, you would never get tired of how good she tasted.

You pulled back from her pussy but continued to play with her clit. You bent her legs more and moved closer to her body allowing her legs to rest fully on your shoulders.

"Don't even think about closing them." You said looking into her eyes knowing she tended to close up when the pleasure got too much. Alexia nodded, biting her lip as you speed up your pace on rubbing her clit.

You brought your index and middle finger up to her pussy circling her hole before pushing them in.

"Dios mío" Alexia whispered as one of her hands moved to play with her breasts desperately trying to stay quiet. You eased your fingers into her pussy allowing her to adjust. You looked up at her silently asking if she was ready. Alexia closed her eyes and took a deep breath knowing you wouldn't take it easy on her. She opened them and nodded giving you consent to proceed. (Oh my god)

You smirked before setting a fast pace with your fingers. Alexia moaned, her eyes widening and rolling back as one of her hands flew out to grab onto the towel bar desperately needing something to grasp onto. Her other hand moved to cover her mouth and muffle her moans.

"Shh baby, wouldn't want anyone to hear how much of a whore you're being for me right?"

You continued to quickly work your fingers in and out of her pussy. You stop playing with her clit and attach your mouth to it instead sucking on it harshly.

"Joder! Se siente tan bien. No te detengas por favor, bebé!" she said from behind her hand. (Fuck! It feels so good. Don't stop please ,baby!)

Alexia's hand released the towel bar to grip your hair instead, pulling you closer. She took one of her legs off your shoulder and placed it on the counter allowing you to go deeper which increased the pleasure she was feeling.

"Más duro por favor." Alexia whispered out struggling to keep in her moans, her eyes closing and her lips pursing as you sped up your pace. She furrowed her eyebrows, loving it when you were rough with her. (harder please)

She tried closing her legs as the pleasure became too much. You pulled back and placed a hard slap on her sensitive clit causing her to jolt forward.

"Mierda!" She hissed, her eyes tearing up because you stopped and because of the pleasure and pain that shot through her at the slap. (shit!)

"What did I tell you?" You asked harshly looking into her eyes.

"Lo siento, papi pero es demasiado." Alexia replied shyly, shying away from your intense gaze. You gripped her chin forcing her to look at you again. (I'm sorry, daddy but it's too much)

"No me importa, you're gonna take what I give you, understand?" (I don't care). You knew that she would've used the safe word if it was actually too much for her.

"Sí papi." She said submissively as a blush took over her face. (Yes daddy)

You began fucking her with your fingers and sucking on her clit again. Alexia loved to give up control and you loved to take control. Since she had to be the one to make the decisions and be in control in almost every other aspect of her life she liked to pass on the responsibilities to you and just relax. She trusted you with her body and her life and knew you would always put her first and make sure she was satisfied.

"Voy a correrme." Alexia hissed out, eyebrows furrowing deeper as you sucked on her clit harder and curled your fingers. Alexia's eyes rolled back when she felt you hitting her g-spot repeatedly. (I'm going to cum)

"Fuck, right there bebé!" Alexia could feel her legs begin to shake as her orgasm grew closer and closer.

"Let go for me, baby." You said as you sped up your pace even more and let go of her clit, using your thumb to rub it instead.

Alexia moaned before her mouth opened in a silent scream, her eyes rolling back and her body shaking as she came. You slowed your pace and fucked her through her orgasm, helping her calm down.

When she stopped shaking you slowly pulled out your fingers. You carefully cleaned her up before moving her legs back down and stood up.

"Satisfied?" You smirked at her fucked out look. She shook her head with a smirk before pulling you in by your tie.

"You know it takes more than that to satisfy me. I want you to fuck me hard until I can't walk, talk, or think when we get home." She said before pulling you into a nasty kiss. Her tongue sucking on yours as she gripped the back of your neck. She pulled back and smirked at the dazed look on your face.

"Me vuelves loca, mujer." You said before placing another kiss on her lips. She smiled and laughed tiredly. You fixed her dress and kissed her one more time before moving to leave so she could fix herself and not look like she just got fucked. Alexia sat up and grabbed your bicep, turning you around. (You drive me crazy, woman)

"Aren't you going to give me back my underwear?" She asked, holding out her hand for it. You smirked.

"Nah, I think you'll be fine." You replied before exiting the bathroom. You chuckled as you heard her groan and curse before the door closed fully. You noticed that mostly everyone was still asleep and smirked. Mission accomplished.

***

Alexia sighed knowing how uncomfortable she was going to be without her underwear before quickly cleaning herself up, making herself look presentable, and exiting the bathroom.

She glared at you as she moved past you to take her seat by the window. Your smirk widened and Alexia rolled her eyes and smacked your arm, a small smile taking over her face as she looked out the window at the beautiful scenery.

She put up the armrest and moved your arm to be around her shoulders snuggling into you. You kissed her on her forehead and Alexia's smile widened. The two watched the window view and slowly let sleep consume them for the hour they had left of the flight.

***

Your face twisted as you woke up to giggles and the sound of pictures being taken. You opened your eyes only to see Mapi and Lucy in the seats in front of you taking pictures. The plane was landed and everybody was exiting.

"What the fuck are you guys doing?" You asked tiredly.

"Just taking pictures of the love birds." Lucy said.

"You guys are so cute it's disgusting." Mapi said.

"God, you guys are so annoying, me and my future wifey can't even sleep in peace?" You asked.

Alexia woke up right at that moment and looked at you.

"Future wifey huh?" She said her voice startling all three of you.

"Shit, I thought you were sleeping." You said shyly, rubbing your neck. Lucy and Mapi snickered at your red face but shut up when you glared at them.

"Don't worry I can't wait to be your wife." Alexia said before leaning up and placing a soft kiss on your lips. You smiled dopily as you looked into her eyes. You couldn't wait to marry her. Mapi secretly snapped a picture of the two of you.

"Blegh!" Lucy ruined the moment. You and Alexia rolled your eyes.

"Cállate." Alexia said.

"Go back to your seats bro." You said, your annoyance shining through.

"Whatever" Mapi said before grabbing Lucy's hand and leaving.

Your phone soon dinged signaling you had a notification. Opening your phone you saw that Mapi had sent you the pictures she took. As annoying as they were, you had to admit the pictures were really cute. They captured the love you shared with Alexia perfectly.

***

Forty minutes later you and Alexia arrived home. You gathered the bags and you both made your way into the apartment.

You set the bags down in the bedroom before going back to the kitchen where Alexia was.

"Are you hungry or anything baby?" You said coming to stand in front of her as she leaned on the counter. She looked up at you staring into your eyes with an intense but somehow innocent look.

"Are you go-"

You were cut off by Alexia pulling you in by the lapels of your jacket and smashing her lips into yours. You melted into the hungry kiss as your hands gripped her waist. You trailed your hand down her body before squeezing her ass. She moaned and you to slipped your tongue into her mouth. Your tongues moved in tandem with each other.

You pulled back and turned her around. You leaned down and moved her hair to the side before trailing kisses from behind her ear to the base of her neck. Alexia arched her back, her ass meeting your crotch. She turned to look at you before she started grinding back on you.

You groaned as you sucked hickies into her neck. Quickly finding her sweet spot and sucking harder. Alexia moaned and you knew she would scold you tomorrow for the amount of marks you left on her smooth skin.

"What do you want?" You asked, your voice low and heavy with lust.

"I need you to fuck me. Hard. Right now." You smirked before untying her dress. You slipped it off her shoulders and it fell to the floor leaving her naked. You looked down and admired her ass. You placed one hand on each cheek and rubbed it softly.

"You're so beautiful." You whispered into Alexia's ear before placing a hard smack on both checks. Alexia whimpered before whispering a small "shit". Your smirk grew as you watched her ass jiggle.

"Yeah? You like that?"

"Sí, dame más por favor." (yes, give me more please)

You grinned and squeezed her ass before moving both your hands up and bringing them down harshly three more times.

"FUCK!!" Alexia moaned out in pleasure before whimpering at the pain. You rubbed her cheeks again before moving forward and grabbing her chin turning her toward you. You pecked her lips and a small smile came across her face. You smiled at her cuteness. You couldn't get enough of her.

"Spread your legs and bend over the counter." You said and watched as she complied. Alexia hissed as her nipples came into contact with the cold counter pushing out her ass and looking back at you seductively. It never failed to amaze you how she could go from adorable to sexy in an instant.

You shook your head with a small smile before taking off your pants and boxers. You looked back at Alexia to see her biting her bottom lip as she looked at your dick.

You leaned down and kissed her before lining your dick up with her pussy. You looked up at her silently asking if she was ready and Alexia nodded.

You eased your dick into her soaking entrance and she moaned softly as you stretched her out.

"Joder, es tan grande." Alexia said leaning her head on her hands as you pushed in. You bottomed out and stayed there for a while letting her adjust. (fuck, it's so big)

"Ready?"

"Sí-OH MIERDA!" she was cut off when you immediately set a fast pace. Desperately needing something to hold onto, Alexia leaned forward gripping onto the counter. She moaned as you continued your deep and hard strokes.

You placed your hands on her hips and increased your pace.

"Yesss." Alexia drew out as she threw her head back. One of her hands came to rest on one of yours that was resting on her hips. You groaned at how warm and tight her pussy is. You smacked her ass again before taking her hands in yours and intertwining them. You leaned over her and spread her hands that were in yours out on the counter. You pressed a kiss to her cheek and temple.

"Such a good girl. Taking me so well." You said before moving to pepper kisses across her shoulders. Alexia moaned at the praise, her eyes rolling back as you began moving quicker.

"Mhm, yes! Yo- your good girl! Only yours!" Alexia replied, her hands balled into fists and eyes closing shut as continuous moans slipped out of her. Her mouth dropped open in a silent scream as you stood up straight again and gave her ass two hard smacks.

"Fuck! More please." Alexia whined loving the feel of your hands on her ass as well as the burning sensation it left. She felt so full and could feel you repeatedly hitting her g spot. You continued smacking her ass as Alexia let out loud moans and started to back up against you trying to reach her climax.

"Don't you dare cum without my permission. You want to be good for me, no?" You warned as you brought your hands up gathering her hair into one before pulling on it. Alexia whimpered and you pulled until her back met your front. You kept a grip on her hair with one hand and placed the other around her neck slightly choking her as you pounded into her faster.

"Yes, yes. I'll be a good girl, I promise just please let me cum, please." Alexia whined, her pussy clenching as she struggled not to cum. Her hair stuck to her face and her entire body was covered in sweat. She arched her back and pushed into you more, her hands gripping the counter in front of her.

"Fuck" You groaned at how her pussy was clenching your dick. You could feel your orgasm approaching quickly. You moved your hand from her neck and trailed it down her body. Her abs contracted as your hand grazed them. You placed your hand between her thighs and began to quickly rub her clit. Alexia screamed your name, her body tensing up as she tried to hold in her release. You're pretty sure the neighbors can hear her with how loud she's being.

"Please, please, please let me come Y/n! Fuck!" Alexia begged as tears welled up in her eyes, the pleasure becoming too much for her.

"Cum pretty girl. Cum for me." You said as you continued to rub her clit, your own release fast approaching.

"Y/n!" Alexia shouted, whimpering as she let go. You came as well and Alexia sighed happily.

"Shit." You said as you moved to pull out but Alexia whined moving to hold your hand indicating that she wanted you to stay. You leaned over and turned her face towards you.

"I love you" you whispered, placing a loving kiss on her lips.

"Love you too. You're so good to me." Alexia mumbled, smiling tiredly as she looked into your eyes. You smiled, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear before giving her a longing kiss.

"Shall we take this to the bedroom?" You smirked and Alexia nodded.

You stood up and slowly pulled out, a small 'pop' sound being made. Alexia groaned as she felt empty again and her pussy clenched around nothing.

"God you're gorgeous." You said pulling her off the counter and turning her around. You placed your hands on her waist and leaned down placing kisses all around her face. Alexia's giggles filled the room and you smiled before bringing her into a passionate kiss. Your tongue tangled with hers as her arms came up to wrap around your neck. Your hands moved down to grip her ass and Alexia whimpered, her ass still a bit sore from the spanks.

You placed your hands under her thighs and picked her up. Alexia squealed, smiling into the kiss as she wrapped her legs around your waist. You pulled back and gave her one last peck before moving to your shared bedroom. Alexia smiled softly as she buried her face into your neck, her cheeks a bright red. She loved your random displays of strength and how easily you could handle her. She always felt so secure in your arms and loved when you carried her.

You entered the room and placed Alexia down. She unwrapped her arms and legs from you and you settled on top of her between her legs. Alexia smiled and placed her hands behind your head, her fingers tangling in your hair. She pulled you down and kissed you softly. Once. Twice. And then a third time. The tenderness of the kiss made your heart beat erratically as you looked down at the love of your life. No one would ever compare to her. Ever.

Your eyes widened in shock as Alexia flipped you over. You are now lying on your back with her straddling you. She ran her hands along your abs and bit her lip loving how they felt under her fingers. She moved her hands up past your chest and placed them beside your head.

"I want to ride you." She said in her thick Spanish accent, her hazel eyes locked on yours. Your eyes widened as you nodded, stunned at her change in demeanor. Alexia moved one of her hands down to grab your dick. She pumped it two times before lining it up with her pussy. Alexia moaned softly, her hands gripping the sheets as she sank onto you.

She would never get tired of the way you stretched her out and how full you made her feel. You watched her take a deep breath as your whole dick was situated in her. She took a minute to adjust before she started moving up and down slowly. She leaned back and took your big hands placing them on her boobs and prompting you to squeeze them.

Your whole hand covered her entire boob as you squeezed and played with them. Alexia moaned, resting her hands behind her on your thighs as she sped up her pace. You began playing with her nipples squeezing and tugging at them as you relished in the feeling of her tight pussy around your dick.

Alexia closed her eyes, moans along with whispered calls of your name spilling from her lips. She looked breathtaking, even with her hair all over the place and covered in sweat you couldn't get enough of her. You sit up to whisper into her ear.

"Look at you falling apart on my dick. What would everyone think if they knew how much of a whore you are for me, hm? The best in the world moaning like a slut on my dick" Alexia let out a loud moan, her arms wrapping around your neck, pulling you closer as she began bouncing harder and faster. You wrapped an arm around her waist, sucking dark hickeys into her skin once again. You marked up her chest with numerous reminders of this night that you knew would take quite a while to fade.

"Yeah, you like that? Bouncing up and down my dick like the dirty fucking slut you are? Being so good for me, such a good girl." You said as you moved your hands to caress her plump ass. Alexia's eyes rolled back, her last grip on a clear state of mind slipping. She was unable to respond, couldn't focus on anything but the dirty words being whispered into her ear and the feeling of your thick cock sliding in and out of her. God she loved you.

Alexia screamed, jolting forward as you landed a harsh smack to her right ass cheek. The built up tears began slipping from her eyes as the combined pain and pleasure brought her that familiar feeling in the pit of her stomach. She loved how rough you were being right now.

"I asked you a fucking question didn't I?" You spat harshly.

"Sí, sí, papi. I like being your dirty slut! Just for you!" Alexia moans looking into your eyes as she speeds up her pace.

"Good."

Alexia squealed in surprise as you flipped her onto her back. You spread her legs and made her hold them open, leaning over her as you began pounding into her. The new position allowed your dick to go deeper into Alexia, bringing her to a whole new level of pleasure. Her eyes widened as more tears made their way down her face rapidly.

She screamed, loud moans that you were sure the neighbors were hearing spilling from her lips uncontrollably. She clenched her eyes shut and her hands gripped the bed sheets as the sound of your hips meeting hers along with her moans filled the room. A soft slap landed on her cheek and she opened her eyes. Her wide eyes looked into yours as you smirked at her fucked out look. 'God that smirk,' she thought, loving how you looked right now.

"Eyes on me, okay hermosa?" (beautiful)

"Mhm, si papi." She replied nodding rapidly not wanting to upset you in any way, especially with how close she was to coming.

You sped up your pace even more, pounding into her with long deep strokes that had her legs shaking and her abs contracting. Alexia spreads her legs wide, whimpering as she felt herself grow closer to the edge. She brought her hands under your armpits and around your back her nails digging into your skin. You groaned at the slight pain, your orgasm building quickly.

You grabbed on of Alexia's hands and placed it on her clit. Alexia moaned as she began rapidly rubbing her clit.

"I'm gonna cum. Can I cum please?"

"Mmm." You smirked teasing her as you dragged it out.

"You can do better than that, pretty girl."

"Please Y/n, please! I can't hold it any longer. I've been a good girl. Por favor papi?" Your smirk grew at her begging, deciding to have mercy on her.

"Go ahea-

Before you could even finish Alexia was cumming with a loud shout of your name. Alexia continued rubbing her clit and you slowed your pace as you helped her ride out her orgasm. You furrowed your eyebrows, something about this orgasm seemed different. You looked down and saw a wet patch on the sheets. 'Holy shit, I just made her squirt' you thought as your eyes widened.

"What is it?" Alexia asked as she noticed the look on your face.

"I made you squirt." You said smugly, looking into her eyes. You pulled out and rubbed at her clit. Alexia moaned, her body jolting as she squirted more. Her eyes widened and she shakily propped herself up on her elbows as she looked down at her pussy. Her cheeks heated up in embarrassment as she saw the wet patch and she lifted her head to look into your eyes. That familiar feeling built in her again as she looked into your dark eyes.

Alexia reached down and positioned you dick back at the entrance of her pussy. You pushed in again and set a fast pace.

Alexia cried out, throwing her head back and gripping onto you with her eyes clenched shut as you fucked into her sore pussy. Her eyes flew open and rolled back, her body trembling as she came for a fourth time. A blissful sigh leaving both your lips as you came down from your orgasm and slowed your thrust to a stop. Alexia relaxed her legs, panting as she looked at you.

You released a long sigh of relief watching as her walls clenched around you. You collapsed down onto her chest nuzzling your face into her soft breast. Alexia laughed tiredly as her hands came up to play with your hair. She pressed a kiss to your temple and you smiled.

You looked up at her with a smile. Bringing your hands up to wipe the tears from her cheeks before placing kisses on both of them.

"You okay? I wasn't too rough right?" You asked, your eyes scanning her body for any signs that you had gone too far.

"No, you were perfect. Absolutely perfect. Thank you." She cupped your face and looked into your eyes before placing a soft peck on your lips.

"You don't have to thank me angel."

***

Alexia sighed as she leaned back against your chest. The warm water of the bath helping to relax her sore muscles. Her arms rested on yours which were wrapped around her waist and she swore she had never been happier. Alexia rested her head on your shoulder and smiled softly, her eyes closed as she enjoyed the moment.

You were looking at her with soft eyes full of nothing but love and adoration. You loved seeing her so relaxed and happy after the rough couple of months she'd been through and you were glad you were the one to bring her this peace.

After cleaning up and drying off the two of you were wrapped in your robes and ready for bed after a long day. You had changed the sheets and had just finished brushing your teeth. Alexia began walking out of the bathroom only to stumble. Had it not been for you wrapping your arms around her waist, she would've fell. Her legs trembling and sore from the previous late night activities.

"Jesus, I got you good huh?" Alexia rolled her eyes pushing you away playfully as she crossed her arms. A deep blush adorning her face at your comment. You certainly had done well on your mission of fucking her till she can't walk.

"Shut up and carry me." Alexia mumbled, refusing to make eye contact.

"So demanding." Alexia slapped your chest, her blush deepening even more as a small smile came across her face. You laughed, picking her up bridal style and carrying her to the bed. You set her down before turning off the lights and moving to settle down next to her.

The only source of light was now the slivers of moonlight shining through the window blinds. You lay facing each other and you pulled her bare body into yours. Alexia craved skin to skin contact after intimate moments and who were you to deprive her of it?

She cuddles up to you, her head resting on your chest with her arm across your body and your legs tangled with one another, your arm thrown over her waist securing her in place. Alexia's eyes were closed, she was on the edge of sleep and you were in a similar state.

As you lay there looking at the love of your life laying in your arms all you could think about was spending the rest of your life with her.

“Alexia.”

“Hm.” Alexia perks up at the use of her full name.

“Will you marry me?” It slips out with ease, all the nervousness you’ve had about this moment fading away as the two of you lay there.

“What? Bebé, I’m literally naked!” Alexia looks up at you with shock. You chuckle and sit up, Alexia following your movements. You take both her hand in yours and look into her eyes.

“Uh- I-I’m not great with words so bare with me.” You begin. Alexia smiles and squeezes your hand her heart racing as she waits for you to continue.

“I have never met anyone like you. Your presence lightens my whole day. I know I’m not the easiest to deal with but you make me a better person and everyday I spend with you is filled with endless love and admiration.”

“I know we’ve been through a lot together. And I want to continue to be there for you through the good, the bad, and the best. I knew the first time I looked into your beautiful eyes and saw your gorgeous smile all those years ago that you were the one I wanted to be with forever. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.”

Alexia sniffles, her smile wider than life as tears gather in her eyes. You release her hands and lean over to grab the blue velvet box. You get off the bed and kneel down, looking up at Alexia as she wipes her tears and crawls to the edge of the bed.

“So, Alexia Putellas Segura… will you make me the happiest and luckiest woman on earth and marry me?” You ask as you open the box. Alexia gasps at the sight of the ring before lunging at you enveloping you in a tight hug. Your laugh fills the room. You return the hug as you place one hand behind you to stop the both of you from falling back.

“So is that a yes?”

“Yes! Of course, idiota.” Alexia beams as she leans back to sit on your lap, pushing her hand toward you. You smile get impossibly wider and you remove the ring from the box before placing it on her finger.

Alexia squeals and pulls you in for a kiss trying to express all the emotions she feeling right now as her tongue caresses yours.

“It’s so perfect.” Alexia whispers looking down at the ring on her finger. You smile softly watching her as she admires the ring. You had spent days looking for the perfect ring for Alexia. Mapi and Alba getting annoyed with you multiple times when you would turn down other beautiful rings.

But you didn’t care. It was for Alexia, the love of your life. She deserved nothing less than the best and you would stop at nothing to make sure she gets it.

“I love you, angel, forever." You whispered looking at her face that was lit up by the moonlight, pressing a kiss to her temple.

"Love you too bebé, forever.” Alexia cupped your face as she pulled you in for a delicate kiss.

Summary: Maki's first love was her high school classmate, a girl named Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki at graduation, saying they were now "too old to be fooling around dating girls." Ten years later, Maki still can’t get Midori off her mind, and when the two women reconnect after a chance encounter, Maki realizes that, while her feelings haven’t changed, Midori has long moved on—in fact, she's engaged. Yet the more Maki hears Midori talk about her soon-to-be-husband, the more red flags she notices. And Midori has another secret, one she hasn’t yet shared with Maki. Will it be the last blow to Maki's hopes that their romance might be rekindled? Or will it be the push that sets them on a new path—one they'll travel together?

Review:

There's so much depth to this. At a glance it looks like a simple story. You read the summary and think oh well it's the same old plot of getting back with your ex but it's not. It deals with heavy topics like abusive relationships, comphet and the fear of being alone. It's very realistic in its portrayal. Both of the women are very well written especially Midori.

Summary: Cooking is how Nomoto de-stresses, but one day, she makes way more than she can eat by herself. And so she invites her neighbor Kasuga, who also lives alone. What will come out of this dinner invitation?

Review: This manga is such an excellent read. There's so much that I love about this manga. I don't wanna spoil it so I'm gonna let you find out on your own. It points out the troubles women face due to the stereotypical portrayal of them in society. There's a good amount of discussion on lgbt especially on Nomoto's end. I won't say much about Kasuga because I don't wanna mistakenly spoil her past. There are also new characters in vol 3 who are as well written as the main characters. The women in this story are very well written! I really recommend this one! Also trigger warnings are given before anything heavy or disturbing is mentioned in this manga.

Summary: Dani's promising future as an elite athlete is cut short when, during the middle of the television broadcast competition, her heart collapses. This ordeal will not only affect her health, but also destroy her relationship with her mother and skip her tennis career. In order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and all its problems, she decides to go with her cousin to the small coastal town Levant and it is there where she will meet Blanca, a girl full of life and love for astronomy who will remind her that life can be beautiful and that Dani can shine again as the stars do.

Review: This is very short but still a good read. Even though I wished it were longer, it still managed to carry out the development between the two main characters. The only issue I had with this is, since the manga is very short, it fails to properly carry out the development between Dani and her mom.
