Shouldn't the obvious title be After School Masturbaters?

Damn, you're right. That rolls off the tongue a lot better than "after school TOUCH MYSELF", plus, it fits so much better with the name of the song it's referencing.

I guess that word was just too advanced for our Japanese doujin artist.

Even Japanese Twitter is confused going "Yuu?" looking at it.

I completely forgot she kinda looks like Yuu's sister, Rei-chan, as well.

RIP to that brown tomboy in the Sayaka light novels, though.

After school we, after school we, after school we TOUCH OURSELVES, YAY!

Wait, what? https://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/After_school_NAVIGATORS

all right is something being lost in translation here, what the hell do they keep going on about "Guilty"

I haven't actually seen Sunshine but I'm guessing it's just a case of Japanese westaboos/westaboo characters only vaguely understanding some english word and throwing it around willy-nilly to sound cool.

The heart in her final speech balloon would seem to indicate she was teasing or at least somewhat happy with the outcome.

Before anyone says it, yes, the heart was in the raw too.

That was the Tiger (Tora) and the Dragon (Ryuu).

It's interesting. Her name is Tora and the boyish one is Ryuu, which is a Doragon. The tomboy is very self-conscious about her looks and the palm-top-sized tiger girl is a tiny hot-blooded tsundere. Yes it's the classic Japanese ToraDora fight. I wonder why it reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Shit, I was beaten to the punch by two months.

Anyways, yeah, the Tiger and Dragon trope is older than anime, so I'm sure there was at least one anime or something that played it up as the overarching theme.

You know, I didn't even think about the incest possibility until I saw that little "They don't appear above blood relatives" note. I feel like there's a little bit of a Streisand effect going on here; by saying blood relatives aren't possible you've got people like me thinking about the possibility of incest anyway.

I see the sister awakened some domme powers in her.

Also, that was definitely Kakashi's "ass shove from underground" technique, right?

That trope is way older than Naruto.

they blew it with that Rin x Sakura chapter that sent the shippers alight with... well, Rin x Sakura.

Are we talking about the same chapter here ? The one where Rin trail Sakura a little bit and they go to a cafe and basically don't talk but about Nadeshiko ? I mean i understand people want to ship characters but they barely interact with each other during the 7 volumes. Not to mention that in Vol.7 (where i'm supossing Rin x Sakura start to blew up) Rin goes out of her way to check if Nadeshiko is ok because she can't call her. If anything, the volume was more Rin/Nadeshiko than Rin/Sakura.

Yes. Well, of course nothing really happened in that chapter but (more speculation here) I think Afro didn't want people shipping the girls and if the Rin x Sakura chapter was an attempt to get people to stop, it backfired.

This is just 4chan speculation but I read Afro (Yurukyan's mangaka) didn't want any romantic relationships in their manga (i.e. leaving NadeRin purely friends and not making them too gay) but they blew it with that Rin x Sakura chapter that sent the shippers alight with... well, Rin x Sakura.

I thought it was Banana and Hikari looking at the thumbnail. Then I thought "that can't be right, it's Junna and Nana (Junana?), right?" or for a hell of a crackship, Banana x Umi...

Aki/Yori shipping is yet another example of what I have come to call Tomolo Syndrome.

Tomolo = The Other, More Obviously Lesbian One.

Put money on it: whenever there’s a Tomolo second lead, at least some shippers will go all-in on the off-brand ship, no matter how obviously it’s Never Gonna Happen.

(Heck, sometimes the upswell of public opinion is so great that the Tomolo gets her own spinoff.)

Exhibit A: Sayaka in YagaKimi.

Exhibit B: Ano in Yurirei.

Worst-case scenario, Yori rejects Aki, Himari never figures it out and just stays friends "forever" with Yori

I mean, you can have just put the second part. First part is fairly obvious, as much as i think is likable i can't see why Yori will accept Aki right now.

Ultimately Aki is highly unlikely to win, but it's entertaining to speculate and cheer for her a bit. People can change. If Himari never figures it out, that will make it more likely Yori comes around on Aki. Again, she probably won't, and I guess Himari's supposed to really be the one who changes, but if she does then it wouldn't be the worst-case scenario anymore. Hell, it could be a pretty happy ending, even. If Himari is really only capable of "loving" Yori as a friend like she "loves" everyone else, she'll be happy and she'll be none the wiser.

^ That's a much better worst-case scenario than what happened in what the love triangle first reminded you of, lol

Well... that was about the worst-case scenario I could imagine that was within the bounds of a PG-13-ish moe yuri romance manga. Of course a true worst-case scenario would be like... well, what you said.

Poor Mya-nee.

I knew I wouldn't be the only one to make this comparison.

Mochi au Lait draws totally-not-WataTen! Top 10 Anime Crossovers!

I'm not a "veteran" of romance dramas but the first thing this love triangle reminded me of was Madoka Magica.

Hitomi/Aki: "If you don't attack, then I will!"

This is either the kick in the ass Himari needs to actually become lovers with Yori, or she's going to fucking lose. Of course the latter probably isn't going to happen because most romance stories are just not written that way, but like many other people here I'd be fine if Yori and Aki become lovers and Himari fucking loses if she can't figure it out. Worst-case scenario, Yori rejects Aki, Himari never figures it out and just stays friends "forever" with Yori.

Ah yes, Yuru Yuri has returned. And with it, returns my sudden craving for chocolate and tissue paper.

Also rum raisin. I don't even like Kyouko that much.

Wasn't this a day in the original VN?

Yeah I could've sworn a very similar scenario played out in either the original VN or some bonus side story.

Hey, thanks for using the original names.

+1 to this.

And Mary definitely seems like the kind of girl that would come out of a town called "Spiketown".

Im rewatching k-on! On netflix so this is actually great timing

The dialogue made this seem kind of... off. But it was hot so

Waow, I had no idea even K-On! is on Netflix now.

Then again I hardly use Netflix at all because I'm still a luddite who pirates everything.

Dig! Dive! Rock Polish! Play Rough! The moveset possibilities are endless!

Day Hard? Female detective?

I'm trying to imagine a female Bruce Willis, and my brain refuses to process it.

Yippee ki-yay desu wa!

I hated the "I stan that" translation as well. Too lazy to Google it right now to double-fact-check but for those unaware (and I know there's at least a few of you) "stan" is slang for being an obsessive fan of something, or someone who is an obsessive fan of something. Came from an Eminem song or something.

KAERU BASHO WA KOKO DA YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;_;

Pg. 6: "desert" -> "dessert"

Also, I've never, ever heard anyone contract "excuse me" into "'cuse me". I've seen "'scuse me" before but not "'cuse me".

At first I thought it said "Operation: More Love Live!" and thought we'd be getting a hell of a crossover.
