Yeah, that was a good one, because Yamato, somehow, managed to put most of the fault in Suzuka shoulders, when he was an utterly shit boyfriend.
Yamato was an awful boyfriend and I can't blame anyone for dumping him, but communication is a base part of a relationship, and Suzuka would have none of that. If anything Suzuka did grow as a character (in part due to that chat) while Yamato kept being the same moron as always. But I think its unfair to say that there was no development whatsoever.
Yume Nikki Chapter 1-10
Having read Battle Royale 2, I would say I am not a fan of the artist. I would attribute to it being incompatible with the series rather than a case of atrociously bad artstyle without any redeeming feature. I find his artstyle moret suitable for Yume Nikki and he clearly outdone himself compared to BR2. Some pictures of the landscape drawn were pretty immersive. In the manga of Yume Nikki, you follow a girl who appears to be haunted by a persistent nightmare with only a mean of escaping the trauma by pinching her cheek. It was easy to follow the story in the beginning until things get more abstract and surrealistic. Gradually, it revealed to be a dream-like therapy for juvenile offenders. I don't know if this is an adequate adaptation of the game, I do wish for a more fleshed out story, in particular with depicting the lucid dream.

Suzuka 151-End
What a waste of time. Throughout the whole manga high jump is everything to Suzuka. her character was terrible but atleast she was passionate about high jump. This manga talks about track and field more than half of the time and you mean to tell me that in the end all of their efforts went to waste because Yamato didn't wear a condom? Suzukas dad is so beta. He forgives Yamato for taking her to a hotel and for getting her pregnant in like a week in total. I would post how I really feel but I don't want to get banned. Good riddance. I'm glad I don't have to read this anymore.

Just post impressions when you finish or feel like it. This club is meant more for finding short works that people can read more casusally compared to the longer marathon reads.
Also thanks for the putting it in the OP dramatis.
It wouldn't be so bad, if the character had a mouth...or opened her eyes. I just don't know, it seems really weird. Though it fits Yume Nikki more than something like Battle Royal.
I don't know but it appears in the game her eyes were always closed?

Yep.
Doubt
Yeah, I'm going to echo that this was the least weird doyman story I've read, but it's a cute little read about the desire to summon your ideal.
Well, since the game has no story or text whatsover it's basically the writer's interpretation of the various events occuring in-game. I agree that the story gets rather weird halfway through, but the various sceneries were gorgeous.
Yep, that's what her sprite looks like in-game:
The artist replicated the designs of the characters pretty fraithfully.

She wants to fuck him...
Or have him fuck someone else...
In order to conceive a baby...
So that have her soul can occupy said baby...
Just because she doesn't like her body having a scar...
Do I have that right?
I think I have that right.
PositioN by Ashinano Hitoshi
A short, quirky work that mixes contemporary slice of life with surreal happenings, demonstrating that it only takes a slight change of perspective to view things very differently. The lack of proper introduction and conclusion is rather disorienting though.
Doubt by Dowman Sayman
Already read this one, but it's a pretty cute story nevertheless which manages to be classic Dowman Sayman with the usual blend of philosophical themes and casual weirdness, yet is a relatively benign and accessible short to those unfamiliar with the author.
Yume Nikki by Kikiyama, Machigerita & Tomizawa Hitoshi
Yume Nikki is one of my favorite games due to its rather unique setting and surreal atmosphere, with the player exploring mind-melting landscapes and encountering bizarre events, some of which grant you effects, all the while without any text or story. The manga manages to nail the sceneries and atmosphere amazingly well, and remains pretty close to the game for its first half (save for the rather chatty reimagination of Madotsuki), while the latter half gets much weirder, it's still a rather original take on the game and ultimately I'd say it's a rather good adaptation, notably for its art.
Wife & Wife by Minamoto Hisanari
Cute lesbian couple being cute. I've already read it but it's still pretty enjoyable to go through it again. There's not much development or particularily interesting themes, but it manages to deliver what it advertises, which is a yuri story filled with sweet and fluffy moments.
Zansho by Kitoh Mohiro
Melancholic, funny, tragic, sweet, heartwarming. A nice array of stories with various settings, some romantic, some more philosophical, all with their various twists. Kind of suffers from the "same face" syndrome for most girls, but the cars and motorcycles are pretty well-drawn. A great collection.
Guess who selected them?:

A suicidal god suddenly has a girl that decides she wants to live in his abandoned shrine.
Not bad. Kinda similar to these normal girls resides with pretty boy gods stories expect she forces herself to live there instead of the other way around. Having the god be pessimistic is amusing enough as well.

Suzuka 158-end
I'm surprised Suzuka's father forgive Yamato just like that. He even let Yamato to keep the baby. I have an acquaintance with a similar situation (he could see his daughter like once a month) so I find this really odd. The wedding scene with all the characters is cliché but it could be worse I suppose.
I only read KNIM until chapter 60-something (apparently that's when the plot start to get full retard) so I can't really compare the two. Not as much NTR as I thought but still suffering from reading this.

Well, that certainly fit the theme. Short and sweet, had a point and made it. Enjoyable.

the hell is this?!?! this sounds like that manga where that guy goes to an island
and meets three girls cause he inherited the spirit of a previous ancestor, forgot the name but it was an excellent read, the ending was rushed in my opinion but it had strong character development and REAL emotions.
Well, for what it's worth I'm pretty good at rock-paper-scissors.
That's surprising to hear. A general lack of interest for works of this genre?
Yay! Seems like I know your tastes pretty well.

11 overlaps.
So around 155 uniques, though that's not counting the ones people read but didn't submit.
Also just received dakku's list today, which adds another 20 or so.

Gave in and looked at the raws of Tokyo DTED and well... uh...

(major spoilers follow, obviously)
It doesn't end up going into NTR territory at all really, the MC pretty much just sucks balls. Bangs Kaede and Saki afterwards and then proceeds to immediately go to an oral sex bar (lol). Resolves his issues with his brother and Kaede and then it just ends, he doesn't end up with anyone, I guess.

Stella to Mille Feuille 01
A guy runs away from his Asian Father and choose to live by himself in an apartment. There, he meets his eccentric neighbors and begins a new life.
Pretty interesting. Nice to see a male lead in a shoujo series and he definitely carries a lot of emotional baggage. I do like it seems to be a series of growth from his oppressive father's life to something he makes of his own.
