This would be much easier to read if there were any translators out there actually...uhh translating this story.

So far there have been 7 chapters released but only 4 have been translated into english and while it seems popular enough that FLOWERCHILD keeps the series going for a while I do hope we can get a serious translator to pick this work up sooner or later.

So about the story itself. The two main characters are both very likeable in their own ways, since this series is kinda SM themed (at least in a way) it follows the classic innocent shy girl meets femme fatale and ... gets obsessed with her. I have to say that the obsession in this series is not portrayed as violently as it would usually be in the more "toxic yuri" manga series out there. It actually comes off more as a cute crush than a bad obsession which is refreshing for someone like me who got her soul crushed by toxic yuri always being tragedies.

So far I wouldn't even really call this "toxic yuri" while the mentioned femme fatale is more interested in a sexual relationship than any romance with the other lead it's never really unconsentual or coercion. Of course there have been some rather questionably consentual acts for the drama so far but they get resolved later and are, in comparison with other manga that follow a similar story style, overlookable.

All in all I really see the possibility for this series to be one of the happier stories of the more dramatic "toxic" yuri manga. I can see that there might be an actual relationship with an SM dynamic blossoming here. Which I personally enjoy reading because there aren't many yuri manga at all who have anything to do with BDSM. (healthy SM at least) The main characters are both very likable but so far not super unique so don't be disappointed that this series doesn't reinvent the wheel in that regard. The first 4 chapters never get boring to read and the art is very gorgeous.

Lastly: Please for the love of god get a translator on this work. I have been waiting for almost half a year qwq.
