Domestic na Kanojo 30

So how long until we get the long drawn out arc where he's finally with teacher only to fuck it up and do what he should have from the jump?

How this guy went from an unlikable attempted rapist to a legitimately badass character I want to root for is beyond me. It takes a very unique series to accomplish something like that.

Door locks aren't a thing when masturbating or making out with your adoptive sibling apparently!

And why would he try to hook Ruri up with a guy he barely knew to begin with?

Thankfully that went nowhere so far, hope it remains that way, older/younger sister drama sounds more fun.

I hate you. I can't stand out.

I actually loved for you for years. Me too!

Quickest one chapter turnaround here.

Rui, or the sensei? Also I just reached that suppository part...

Rui, not the sensei, I think you'll get more annoyed with her as we go.

And yes, suppository part is great.

As a sidenote, I hate the usage of "Rui" for a female, it's a male name in portugal, so my mind always reads it as "Ruri".

How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Sword vol 2 ch16

This is deeper than i thought.

I picked a terrible spot to catch up. I didn't read any of the spoilers in this thread, but I blame you guys for hyping it up.

Rui's still better than Hina so far, with literature girl being pretty good as well.

Edit: Do none of the rooms have locks in this building? There's been a lot of unwanted interruptions.

It's also a male name in Japan actually.

It's not just locks, Hina didn't even bother to close the door when she went to masturbating while making no attempts at being subtle. I guess we can pass it off as "they used to live in a girls only house", but even then you'd want some privacy.

It's also a male name in Japan actually.

Then I'm all the more confused about the choice.

The author is just one lazy bastard. There is nothing that screams laziness by creating conflicts using the extremely cliched "oops he/she saw me doing stuff."

I have a feeling progress with Rui is going to go backwards, just because she'll find out that he liked the other sister.

Even though manga like these are easy to criticize, it's fun for me to read.
Maybe I'll check out GE sometimes since I keep forgetting about that.

I got people into Domestic, knowing full well what comes next since I read the raws.

WARNING: There may be spoilers in some of these recs (rec), reviews (rev), impressions (imp). Rule of thumb: dakkumauji generally likes everything.


  1. Childhood friends start dating and of course everything is ADORABLE about them. For Yorimichi :RE (remake). From dakkumauji.
  2. Everything from then on was much more entertaining, and the endgame in particular leading up to the 'decision' was almost masterfully tense. For Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  3. Best fast-food chain. For Sakurai-san's Great Energy ch6 - Welcome to M&S (One-shot) by Sakurai Energy. From Zweizer.
  4. Horse-mask moe here. For AFO Guard. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  5. Yuri and bears. Pretty cute and straightforward so far, but it seems like there will be drama soon afterwards. For Yuri Kuma Arashi. From Zweizer.
  6. Really cute 4-koma romcom but now i just want the focus to be entirely on the older siblings pairing. it's the inari konkon effect! For Otonari-san Game. From Soma.
  7. New manga it literally made me laugh so i hope it last a good while. I can see it being an anime. For Seishun Scrap! 01. From ImTheJudgeandJury.
  8. I love the presentation here, good use of colours especially at the frame of the pages. For Kagome Kagome. From Usobuko. (rev)
  9. You know what kind of oneshot this is, I don't need to spell it out right? Athletic, tanned sadistic girl shows her tender side. Vito would approve for the tanned athletic girl alone, I'm sure. For Fumi fumi Fukujuu Meirei by Blmanian. From Lain.
  10. Turok_TTZ reading Kazuki Makes Love Happen?! and Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru.
  11. This is honestly in my opinion the best out of all the new Shonen Jump series currently. For Cyborg Roggy 01. From AquaWateria. (imp)
  12. Not-Chibi One Piece characters have non-sensible adventures. For One Piece Party 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  13. Hopefully its more than what it first appears. Certainly a society where this does happen would be interesting to delve into. For Kanojo ni Naru. From Quasar. (imp)
  14. Yes, better than the actual game. For Tales of Symphonia - Ratatosk no Kishi - Onshuu no Richter. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  15. A single father and his young daughter have a chance encounter with the daughter of a local family restaurant which leads them to start eating together. Another cute series. For Amaama to Inazuma. From dakkumauji.
  16. She likes guys but doesn't want to be in a relationship meets an awkward guy. Cute Bumbling Cute For Mado Rokkoshii wo Kimi to. From dakkumauji.
  17. The story of a girl's basketball team as they are told they have to win the prefectural tournament or the world will be destroyed. But more importantly, one of them got a boyfriend....! For Toriaezu Chikyuu Ga Horobiru Mae Ni. From dakkumauji.
  18. Dad wants boy to inherit rural sweets shop. Boy wants to be a shoujo mangaka. Enter girl from famous sweets company. Amazing comedy. For Dagashi Kashi. From dakkumauji.
  19. Girl wants to be a patisserie, goes to fancy school for it, meets 4 pretty boys, goes all doki doki For Bonjour Koiaji Patisserie. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  20. I guess the end makes good on the sugar part of the title, with its sweetness. For Sugar Dark. From Lain. (rev)
  21. Desert world, mysterious box, boy is key to said box and everyone is out to get him, android girl comes and becomes his bodyguard. For 100 -Handred-. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  22. Neat premise, if unoriginal (bullied boy swaps into bishounen body every 12 hours). Overbearing in how it handles its drama, but still somewhat enjoyable. Surprised it's so short, though. It seems to end on a random chapter. For Lookism. From Kieli.
  23. Even with the rushed ending, it's still the best Harem manga I've read. For To Love Ru. From Stulaw. (rev)
  24. People start disappearing one by one until the world is only left with one guy and three girls. For Chikyuu no Houkago 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  25. Demon lord is poor, hungry and now wants a job at a family restaurant. Demon lord working in the human world story is so common now. Then again, this was kinda amusing at times, also lewd at times and also food smutty at times, so hey, some of everything. For There's a Demon Lord in the Floor 01. From dakkumauji.
  26. It's promising, just hope that it doesn't collapse under its own weight. For Yokohamasen Doppelganger 01. From Usobuko. (imp)
  27. Shenanigans with a girl who wants to inherit her fathers sweet empire, and a boy who doesn't want to inherit his father's countryside sweetshop. For Dagashi Kashi. From _hekk05.
  28. With its gripping and reasonably realistic story accompanied with sublime and detailed art, it is safe to say that Sanctuary depicts one of, if not the best political intrigues I have ever been given the pleasure to read. For Sanctuary. From Zweizer. (rev)
  29. Grimoires are always great to see in series. For Black Clover 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)
  30. Really nice one-shot. For Musume-iri Hako. From dakkumauji. (rev)
  31. Yessss, this is adorable. For Otonari-san Game 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  32. Shoujo Ai/Yuri recommendations by firehawk12 (the grand return???).
  33. Who knew you could be so cool~ with a head of a cat? For Nekota no Koto ga Ki ni Natte Shikatanai 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  34. The story of a boy who doesn't want to do anything special, who is simply trying to be normal and ordinary at all costs, all for the sake of not being bothered others, and not bothering others. For Himizu. From Zweizer. (rev)
  35. Two friends in their thirties sharing a pool and their thoughts on their relationships. For In the Pool, OLs Around Thirty. From Zweizer. (imp)
  36. I'm so going to enjoy reading a series that reminds me of a lighter version of Fela Pure and Ane Log. For I'm Obsessed With My Little Bro! 01. From Save 'N Quit. (imp)
  37. (two opinions at odds with each other) For Lesbian SOLO!. From Zweizer. (imp)
  38. Gosh, I love Asano's art. The short stories were great as well, if melancholic, in contrast to the rather offbeat gag comics. For CTRL + T by Inio Asano. From Zweizer.
  39. THERE I READ IT! NOW NO ONE HAS TO TELL ME TO READ IT AGAIN! IT WAS ENOUGH OF A ROLLERCOASTER ON MY POOR HEART! For Oyasumi Punpun. From BakedYams. (rev)
  40. Single man pining for the girl who dumped him many years ago finds out she passed away and is left with their child he didn't know she had. Not completely original, but I'm getting ready for some heartwarming feelings. And hoping not to be betrayed. For My Girl 01. From ThatChairMan. (elyetis: I really liked this one.)
  41. Personally I prefer it when an end isn't too open, but I'm gonna be OK with this. For From the New World. From Lain. (rev)
  42. Character dynamics play a big role in this, as all the protagonists don't really see eye-to-eye, and it muddles even more when they have to deal with other kingdoms. For Oukoku Game. From ThatChairMan. (imp)
  43. Romance mango suggestions.
  44. A full volume of Kei Toume's gorgeously coloured manga. For Fuguruma Memories. From Usobuko. (art)
  45. I do like the art in that it's somewhat detailed even if it's not flat out amazing. It has this relaxing feel that is emphasized by well laid out background work. For The Ancient Magus Bride. From Jarmel. (varied)
  46. I don't know. But it was good. For Yashio to Mikumo. From thesaucetastic. (imp)
  47. Story is about crossdressing. For Molly House 01. From Zweizer. (art critique)
  48. Short stories for anything related to music. For Kikimimi Zukan. From Usobuko. (rev)
  49. Initially thought it was a dumb idea, but it's able to explore and tell stories about farewells... For Noramimi Vol 1. From survivor. (imp)
  50. Cue sorrowful tune. She really does has a knack of writing such stories. For Blue Vol 1 by Nananan Kiriko. From Usobuko.
  51. The Level 5s come together and play some games, almost destroy the universe and themselves. For To Aru Majutsu no Index - Level 5 Games. From dakkumauji.
  52. The love story (probably) of a serial killer and the stalker that loves him. For Shinshunki no Futari 00. From dakkumauji.
  53. If I can get more of these moments. Then I won't mind keeping my eye on this. For Ane Kurabe 01. From Save 'N Quit. (imp)
  54. Be it for its unique use of the medium, its despiction of dysfunctional characters, its gorgeous art, or its cynical mood and themes, Goodnight Punpun is an unique experience that is sure to not leave any reader indifferent. For Goodnight Punpun. From Zweizer. (rec)*
  55. That's it? I just didn't feel much closure at all besides that last page. Guessing the author will want to focus on drawing tits and ass for something else now. Overall I really liked it. I wish the author would have developed the character romances a bit more but loved the series. For History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. From zeromcd73.
  56. Cry-baby Santa helps people facing problems on Christmas. Cute one shot. Not a bad read. For Christmas no sono mae ni. From dakkumauji.
  57. An episodic manga about an archeologist insurance investigator. For Master Keaton Vol 1. From survivor. (imp)
  58. A little generic but I like characters and art, so I will keep reading. For Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru 01. From rrc1594. (imp) More from dakkumauji.
  59. Can't say I'm incredibly impressed by the first chapter, but it does a decent job at setting the world and introducing the main characters. For Gekitotsu no Hexennacht 01. From ThatChairMan. (imp)
  60. Best romance comedy manga I've read in a while. SO CUTE OMG For Boku wa Minna Kowaisu. From FlutterPuffs.
  61. Taking tropes from a certain genre of anime and then using them as a pretense for murder is a fuckin awesome premise. For Harem End. From cosmicblizzard. (rev)
  62. At least I did learn that you can eat "uncooked" bacon. That really blew my mind. For Mysterious Girlfriend X. From dani_dc. (???)
  63. The wonders of a character's backstory, last few chapters saved it from being a survival manga with no redeeming merits. Still, has room for improvements and hopefully the climax would deliver. For Doku-mushi (raw). From Usobuko.
  64. This is a vastly better version of Nisekoi. It has character development, confessions, no bullshit mysteries, and troll characters to the max. For Jitsu wa Watashi wa. From Jarmel. (imp)
  65. I feel like Majikoi should win some sort of Trashy Manga Quality award. For Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!. From Quixzlizx. (rev)
  66. This manga discuss some prevalent japanese education issues, like corrupt teacher, bullying, society pressure to get into great school to ensure better future, and all that other problems that can still be found today. For GTO. From striferser. (rev)
  67. This is a pretty damn ballin 19th Century war between Russia and Japan with tigers and dragons and magic communication and shit. For Imperial Guards. From wonzo. (imp)
  68. A rather lewd collection of stories from the author of Sisterism. For Hen na Nee-san. From dumbyugi. (imp)
  69. I assume the usual, the main character changes due to this girl and he changes something of her life, but this does seem pretty enjoyable. For Tenshi to Akuto!! 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  70. A short story about a writer and an animated doll who can take photographs of people's memories. For Fuguruma Memories. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  71. Lots of blushing and its just friendship! For Hitoribocchi no OO Seikatsu. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  72. Pretty legit mermaid horrorish (but not really) thing. This is probably Kagesaki Yuna's best work. Way better than Karin at least. For Hekikai no AiON. From cosmicblizzard.
  73. It stars an adorable, kind-hearted match seller who seeks to improve the lives of the disadvantaged with her magical wares... For The Little Match Girl 01. From A Huge Battleship. (imp) wonzo adds his piece.
  74. A somewhat strange sci-fi post-apocalyptic-ish short story. Pretty nice. For Mu-Kai by Yukito Kishiro. From Zweizer.
  75. What in the flying hell did I just read?! For Kono Shima ni wa Midara de Jaaku na Mono ga Sumu Manga. From BakedYams. (imp)
  76. This series has made me at least 10% more lewd, permanently. So many sexy lewd scenes without any nudity. For Sore ga Kanojo no Seigi nara. From Quixzlizx. (rev)
  77. The cases are pretty interesting and it has a nice case of the week feeling even though there's some overlaying backstory or something. For Legal Drug. From dakkumauji. (imp) Impressions on the sequel here.
  78. The manga is pretty interesting in how it depicts (aspiring) novelists, and the various doubts, fears and hurdles they experience. For Baka ga Zenra de Yatte Kuru. From Zweizer. (rev)
  79. But what are the blues really? Will his struggle for survival in a hostile and racist era, while being dragged around by a gangster, lead to the answer he seeks? For Me and the Devil Blues. From Zweizer. (+other)
  80. And that chick at the end who's clearly going to be batshit. Probably more entertaining than it should've been. For Armed Girl's Machiavellism 01. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
  81. Drugs, prostitution, yakuza, violence, deranged sexual fetishes, mysterious underground group. Yep, it is this kind of manga. For Tokyo Yamimushi - 2nd Scenario - Pandora. From Usobuko.
  82. So it's a slow and somewhat painful start as it's clear the first twenty or so chapters are really the prologue (or Act 1) and it's only when the manga is in Act 2 does it get interesting at all. For Taboo Tattoo. From Jarmel.
