/> > > The look on Inoue's face, on page 23, just screams "A new challenger has appeared".

You realize this is a prequel, right?

She would be the first lol. Not the new one.

So would she be the "ex in the same club" they mentioned in earlier chapters? o:

Yes. Probably, she is the ex one. D: God! At least, it seemed pretty clear for me.

Probably. If the high school grapevine is actually correct that is, Kase might never have dated anyone for all we know.

Someone said the next chapter is a continuation from ch5.

I did and it is.

It would be nice to get one or two more votes before deciding to do it.

Then consider this another one.

Might want to fix the fifth panel to say "A Certainty" instead of "A Sertainty" >_<

Might want to read chapter 9 again to get the joke.

Phyis, this really isn't related to this series, though I really like this one...
Your avatar is awesome :) Where's it from.

Midori from http://dynasty-scans.com/series/school_police

It's always greatly appreciated :D

That's really nice to hear.

Sometimes i wonder if yuri project just hates the people who read the translations.

Unlike you I don't pretend to speak for anyone but myself.

Thanks for the valuable insight, ambassador.

Sigh.

While this may be the last regular chapter, the series isn’t quite over yet. There are still over 30 pages of extras to go which will expand on the ending and include another Shinobu x Asuza subplot, among other things.

I'm also curious to know about Suga-sensei's prospects for work after this series. Now that Tsubomi has shut down, I guess to do more yuri he'd have to find a different publisher? Do we know how the closure/transition has worked out for some of the other Tsubomi authors? In any case, I definitely hope we'll see more from this mangaka.

Suga still has Clumsy Takumi-chan (which incidentally is quite good) running. Not yuri but he won't starve and the moderate success of Notes should give him a foot in the door if he wants to do another yuri work somewhere I think. Most other authors that did serializations in Tsubomi are either already well established or have things running in other genres. Oneshot authors on the other hand...

Ah, I see. Sorry 'bout that.

I wasn't talking to you specifically, I'm just remembering the general reaction when the raws came up.

Because you people don't bother visiting the scanlator sites and I'm tired of the inevitable whining already:

You may want to change http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/egoist_box to fragmented hollow as well.

Yuri Amagasa gives a 3/5 yuri score, so fairly subtexty but that's about it.

Vol. 1 is licensed by Seven Seas.

Do I just imagine there being romance in those chapters?

Dunno. It's been years since I've last read Shoujo Sect, I just remember being both disappointed and bored early on and that one story where the pet club girl essentially rapes another until she gets into it. So yeah, I see some similarities.

Especially not with this start. This school feels to me like a place where girls have sex, not where girls fall in love. And then have sex...

The first time I've read this chapter and saw the character roster I had Shoujo Sect flashbacks. You know, the first chapters where it's just random couple of the week having sex for no particular reason. So I understand your pessimism as I'm not a fan of that either. But it will eventually go somewhere.

Sorry for taking up your life with my honest opinions.

Did you skip over the part where I said you don't have to be reluctant with your opinion? Or where is that coming from?

I cannot interpret this page as anything else than molesation

I didn't say it wasn't molestation. Fondling someone's crotch without consent always is, regardless of motivation. I'm saying it's not a case of "horny girl randomly rapes another who gets into it."

The key phrase being 'with any luck'. Oh well, a series being abandoned isn't the end of the world.

It's not abandoned, just suffering from some kind of mummy curse where every editor drops subpar work and then bails. I'll take care of it next week, this farce is getting on my nerves.

I do wonder though, if Suzukin Kario has any other yuri stuff to her name. Rereading this was really fun and if she does have other stuff out there, I'd like to check it out.

No. She has two older series, one a rather bizarre gag comedy, the other a romantic comedy where the male love interest is a kappa in hiding. How she got from those setups to a rather vanilla schoolgirl romance is beyond me.

I'm getting tired of reading his stuff

Then don't. Problem solved. No need to throw around baseless generalizations.

... I know that, I just happened to read it because I keep tabs on his work. Maybe the comment should have been written more like constructive criticism, but whatever. Sorry bout that.

No, if you dislike it, that's that. No need to be reluctant about it. I just don't understand why you would keep tabs one someone's work when it's obviously not to your taste. I have many authors I can't stand but I don't expect them to do a 180, I just don't read them.

older girl randomly molests younger girl but younger girl gets into it

I'll just paste what I wrote on YP regarding the random rape thing: "Sara is pretty screwed up herself so I took Itsuki's act more as a warning. (Hell, she even says so.) She didn't get turned on until Miharu reacted the way she did if you look at the blushing and facial expressions. It went out of control, for both of them."

Maybe I have the advantage of hindsight because I actually did read the entire book already but there is a plot, there are a lot of emotions and neither are that difficult to grasp. The thing is, Asagi has always used the artwork - facial expression, gestures, symbolism - to convey a lot of subtext and this is even more true here. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not a literary masterpiece full of subtlety but it's also not the usual dumb on-the-nose porn we usually get dealt so maybe that's the problem.

Um, doesn't look like there's really a storyline in this book. I know it's 200 pages book but just looks like it's just going to be a hentai with a weird nonsense storytelling to put in the sex. It made no sense for them to do it. I'm a bit disappointed even if it's the first chapter and nothing is clear yet. I really like this artist.

The story isn't that hard to grasp. I didn't think yuri fans of all people would be this utterly thrown of track by a bit of subtext.

No, the editor actually did some de-censoring. Don't know why, the censoring is barely noticeable in the first place.

She's never shown being shy around the MC, just around strangers. The porn is still boring and by the numbers like most everything else on this reader but I'm happy they didn't go the "nooo, I'm so shy and that place's dirty" route.

Personally I'm much more confused about how old they are supposed to be, the school looks more like a college and she lives alone but then there's the pubic hair thing.
