Haruki is an annoying brat. I hate her and hope she'll become a background character. I mean, all characters here are toxic, not to mention the teacher who really shouldn't be working at an all-girls school (why can't they select schools themselves in Japan?). But Haruki is the worst...
Well, the main relationship is borderline uncomfortable but... okay. I'm mostly intrigued by the fact that the teacher knows she's doing sth wrong but doesn't care at all whether the public finds out.
Everything's toxic here tbh, similar to "Kuzu no Honkai", but I like the depressing/melancholic vibe.
I was browsing around for some new Yuri when I encountered this one. I am not sure how I feel about reading this one, because it was pretty eh at times. Warning sexual assault.
It is about a girl who starts online dating with a woman, a high schoolteacher. The teacher at first thinks that Aya is an adult, but Aya lied. But, oh the teacher doesn’t mind, she likes her girls in high school mode it seems. Later on they meet and Aya (the girl) gets assaulted (as I would call it given everything) by the teacher. Despite this happening and Aya clearly breaking from what happened, they keep meeting, they keep kissing and they go further.
The relationship is very very toxic (not to mention that our teacher keeps shouting out the name of the girl she liked in the past during sexy moments and they even decided that it is OK to do that, wtf?). Why keep reading then? Well I am kind of hoping that despite all that is happening that they learn and that they see it is toxic, that their relationship isn’t healthy. That it is an adult female taking advantage of a teen female, that they need to either wait or balance things out. And at times it does seem that their relationship is working out, but something just feels off the whole time.
Then there is the best friend Haruki, and while I found her a tad overprotecting throughout the book it reaches a very big low near the end of this volume and I just didn’t like what she did there. That is not how you protect a friend. You value their privacy. Later on we see her go further and I was just shaking my head. This is how you destroy friendships. I get that you are worried, and I guess you should, but this is not the way to do things. This will only hurt your friend.
It seems that we are also getting a new character, and I am just not sure how I feel about that. I get vibes from other manga in my head, and believe me those vibes are in the nice boat region.
The art is gorgeous though. I really love how everything was drawn.
But will I continue? I will probably wait until the series is complete, maybe then give it a shot. That way I can just go to the ending if I am not up to reading it all.
I don't really see a problem with the toxic relationship like everyone else since the title is literally called "toxc" love affair. I thought it was clear that the relationship won't be the healthiest one 🤷♀️
This was ok but a bit too depressing for me to want to continue with the series. If you are into stories about toxic relationships and depressed people then this might be up your alley.
Der Plot war... dünn at best aber was erwartet man von nem 18+ yuri? Es is gleichzeitig so wenig und irgendwie doch so viel passiert. Der Age-Gap ist horrendous und weird as shit, aber at least ist sie nicht ihre Lehrerin. Der erste Encounter bordert an Assault und die Ältere is generell und sowieso turbo übergriffig. Toxic Yuri und so, ik, aber trotzdem. Die beste Freundin der Schülerin ist milde nervig, aber naja, sie will nur das Beste. Die Sex Szene war okay, bis sie dann permanent den Namen einer anderen gesagt hat LOL. Es wär genug toxic Yuri gewesen wenn nur das Letzte relevant wär (die Lehrerin tut so als sei die andere ihre damalige Bff) der Age Gap musste nich oder so.
TLDR; Plot quasi nicht existent und langweilig und der Yuri ist toxic für (fast) all the wrong reasons.
I got the book from a friend who loved it so much. So I read it!
Tbh, after the first book, I don't know if I will like this series.
I view the relationship as toxic, which doesn't really disturb me since the title already states that. The art is very pretty, and the spicy scenes seem good too!
I actually don't like the best friend, who I already forgot the name of. She tries to be a good part of the story and help, but in my opinion, the way she acts is not the way a friend should act.
But I can not decipher if I will like the other parts. I'm gonna update on the next part how i think about it!
Die Geschichte ist interessant, aber toxisch wird hier groß geschrieben. Ich fiebere mit den Figuren mit und hoffe, dass sie die richtigen Entscheidungen treffen werden. Zwar hat mir die Story an sich sehr gefallen, aber ein bitterer Beigeschmack bleibt hängen. Ob da eine gesunde Beziehung draus werden kann oder es Aya gelingt, sich von Kuro zu lösen? Ich bin sehr auf die Fortsetzung gespannt.
