Nanashi no Asterism

[Lock]

This manga was pretty taxing and heavy to read, oof, but still had some good moments at least.

disappointed the brother and the boy didn't get together

Manga was axed, a real shame. Lemme get this out of the way, the main three girls are like dogshit. The dynamics are just stupid. The only reason I rated this a 9 is because of Subaru, and the subplot surrounding him. It just has so much that could work, it could be amazing. The artstyle is also really adorable. I recommend it entirely because of Subaru.

i wanted a sic/brocon ending, but i suppose status quo has to happen

I think I never felt more unfulfilled.

Too bad this got axed. It's one of those rare manga that focusing less on the yuri/yaoi shit. Yes the characters were an idiot and they made a lot of stupid decisions but that what made this interesting for me. They were still a kid facing something that isn't normal by society standard. Unfortunately, not being a generic yuri manga is also the reason it not being popular enough and that invited the inevitable axe. This could be good if only the author has the time to properly tie all loose end.

Cute little yuri manga that actually acknowledges that its characters are LGBT, instead of letting its characters exist in some nebulous zone of girl-love without it being an issue. The characters actually struggle with their sexuality and being othered as a result of it in a way that is realistic and immediately relatable. That said, yeah it got cut way too soon and it shows. Kotooka is the only one who gets a character arc and its fairly good but ended without the denouement that was likely to be a three-way confession further into the series. Its also hard to avoid that the arc for our three main girls drags hard in the middle chapters. Speaking of drag, Subaru carries those middle chapters like a fucking champ, but ultimately is left with his character arc up in the air at its most exciting moment. Beats poor Nadeshiko, whose character arc never got to even start.

I'd say this is still worth reading because watching Kotooka grapple with simultaneous self-loathing over being a lesbian and scorn over her friends being too lesbian (Nadeshiko) and not lesbian enough (Tsukasa) is genuinely fascinating and at least some parts of it will be familiar to anyone whose ever been in the closet. I would say that BUT it is a slog to get to the actual worthwhile parts of her character, which are scattered piecemeal throughout the whole thing.

It's so annoying that it ended like that. It was starting to get even more interesting, especially with Asakura starting to have doubts.

And this gave us no conclusion, Shiratiti is still pitiful as hell..

bruh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

That's a cursed end. It's hilarious how the three girls + others made bad decisions and how most characters were creepy weird and utter shit. Asakura, the prince girl and Tsukasa were normal atleast, (in my case). It's annoying how Tsukasa had to give up on her love.

I loved this. Got the feeling from other comments that people had very unrealistic expectations for a bunch of 13 year old queer kids who aren't even at thinking about first kisses yet, lol. For what is here, for what distance they cover, this is beautiful and very satisfying. I love the open ended ending and updated character profiles at the end as seeds for personal imagination of what happens next.
