[ENG Ver.] The Story of how I was Trapped in the Middle of Lesbian Sex

Editorial Review

★4.1 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

Yuri-adjacent comedy with an unusual angle: the story centers on a bystander rather than the couple. In a landscape where most lesbian-themed doujinshi stay focused on the pair, or on a viewpoint character who becomes the love interest, a premise built around the “third wheel” is a refreshing variation, and the English-language release makes it easy to reach.

The hook is the double meaning of the title. Tomoko Aida is first caught in the middle socially, thanks to the seating chart and her friendship with the established couple, Mei Aizawa and Anju Iguchi. The synopsis then turns that into a literal situation. The conflict that drives the plot is a lovers’ quarrel over mismatched desires, and Aida becomes the tool for a jealousy gambit that unexpectedly reconciles the couple. The closing framing, “a poor girl who gets caught in the middle of lesbian love,” signals a comedic, self-aware tone rather than a heavy drama. Aida’s mix of gratitude and awkwardness gives her a relatable perspective, which is uncommon for a premise like this. The file package, JPEG pages plus a PDF, is convenient for reading on different devices, a practical advantage for a one-shot manga.

The synopsis suggests the humor rests on the situational absurdity, so how well it works will depend on the execution of its timing and the characters’ reactions. Still, the setup is clearly more concept-driven than most.

It suits readers who enjoy yuri-flavored adult comedy, ensemble dynamics with a reluctant observer at the center, and premises that play with a single high-concept gag.

Verdict: a cleverly framed “caught in the middle” comedy that earns attention for putting the third wheel in the spotlight.
