Today's Beauty-Marked Beauty is: Koyuki Honami from A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow

[sinonlesbiantruther]

Important Yuri announcement.

This girl is so lost in the sauce after seeing her "club mate" with a ponytail. That she doesn't realize she's being asked a question.

So glad I got a friend into Yuri so they could recommend me this. Hope they kiss someday.

Maligned Yuri Bracket: Preliminary Round!

How is Nao Ishiwatari/Makoto Kowata (Flying Witch) maligned?

No explanation offered.

How is Konatsu Amano/Koyuki Honami (A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow) maligned?

"They are both so very depressed"

How is Mayura Ransaika/Urara Ransaika (Akane-banashi) maligned?

"Urara is a secondary character and Mayura is even more of her side character, her rakugo pupil that is an absolute head-over-heels sub. Between them not being major characters and this not being a super popular series, there are only a few dedicated himejoshi that appreciate this one."

@coreofgold said : Can I drop Loquatius Seelie and Honami Koyuki, please? As much as I love them, I don't have as much muse for them, and I need to try and lessen my muse load just a tad. **I am also adding Sanguine to the drop list

no problem at all! please do not unfollow, but note that loquatius seelie, honami koyuki, and sanguine are now all reopened for applications!

Manga Reviews - ATFYFS Vol.1

The first of many posts of manga reviews! I love reading mangas, manhuas, webtoons, comics, etc and thought it might be fun to share my thoughts on series whilst I read them! So here we are!

Today's is A Tropical Fish Yearns For Snow Volume 1! Being honest, I've read just under half of this series over a year ago, but can't remember anything, so I started fresh again! Let's just get into it:

Note: I will be using acronyms for the main two character's names because they are used so often.

For those who don't know, the plot surrounds Amano Konatsu, a high school girl who has just moved to a seaside town to live with her aunt after her father started working overseas. In volume 1 we follow AK as she starts at a new school (Nanahama High School) and meets the owner of the Aquarium club, Honami Koyuki. We see her adjusting and even joining the club as a way to negate her own loneliness and give company to the sole member of the club, HK.

Firstly I love the cover art of vol. 1 and the chapters being called 'Tank_' with creative titles adds a fun detail to the layout. Amano Konatsu has light hair is often described as a worry-wart, she tends to over-think and stress a lot. Honami Koyuki had black/blue hair and is often described by her peers as 'kind', 'pretty', 'beyond all reach', and 'perfect'. She gets a lot of indirect pressure from her teachers and peers, which she then turn into pressure she puts on herself.

Their first meeting left AK with the impression that HK was good-looking and left her blushing. We see AK reading 'Salamander' by Masuji Ibuse during class. This book is well referenced throughout. In class we also meet Hirose Kaede, AK's desk neighbour. She has long, black hair, and a very bubbly friendly personality.

After school AK sees HK trip chasing cats and a pelican. HK tries to play it off as if she's fine, however, we get to see a really touching moment between the two where AK tells HK that she doesn't need to put up a front and say it doesn't hurt when it does. The scene perfectly reflects how AK is feeling, lonely in a new place not knowing anyone, pretending to be fine.

I loved the personified salamander that would pop up here and there throughout the volume, and learning about different aquatic and semi-aquatic sea animals. It made reading the volume a lot of fun.

HK often gets very shy over AK. We see her getting shy imagining the two holding hands, and being in a delirious state because she's so happy when AK joins the Aquarium club. There was a part where the girls shared an 'indirect kiss' whilst changing the tank water for one of the creatures, leaving HK red-faced and embarrassed.

I loved the reference back to the 'Salamander' book after AK joins the club. She associates HK with he salamander from the book because it was incredibly lonely. We see her thinking maybe she can be HK's frog, a reference to a section in the book were the salamander keeps a frog in it's cave so that it will be less lonely. A very sweet moment.

I thought it was interesting that HK refers to AK as 'Konatsu' (her first name, culturally important in Japanese culture) despite them not being very close yet. It shows that HK already has a desire to get closer with AK. Later we see Hirose getting very physically close with AK and even referring to her by her first name 'Konatsu' also. This leaves HK feeling inferior and out of place near AK.

Okay final thoughts! I'm excited to see the development of AK and HK's relationship. I'm also excited to see how Hirose being close with AK will spark jealousy in HK and how she will work through that. The characters all have great personalities and are written so well. The art is very appealing and has so many tiny details. Once you pick up the volume, before you know it you're already at the end!

Rating: 9/10

Pride Month Yuri Ships:

Day #12: Konatsu x Koyuki (A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow) ≈ canon (aka pending)

I’ve got two words for you: slow burn. This manga is the biggest tease that I have ever seen. The author knows everyone ships the main characters and sees beyond their “friendship” into a long, drawn out romance story. These two obviously have feelings for each other but are unsure as how to best express it. I mean have you seen the angst Konatsu expresses for like eight (hundred) chapters consecutively? No one experiences that much angst over a mere friendship, right? They’ve had so many chances to confess, but no... the author continues to be a troll and continue building the suspense (hopefully to lead to the greatest slow burn in history). So I’m basically past the point of calling it a ship and will refer to it as canon because living in denial is the only option here. But I digress. I absolutely love these two together and think that they balance each other perfectly. Konatsu enables Koyuki to break out of her shell, and Koyuki delivers her from loneliness (well she’s also partially the cause...). I just hope they will one day acknowledge their feelings and make it official.

so excited to see that Viz picked up Nettaigyo for an official release! it’s what they deserve. 🐠
