I don't know if this gigantic body is the girl's true ability as Exstar or there's something wrong with this girl. Could you explain this ?

It's her exstar ability. Guess they turn into more than just weapons.

I hope everyone can settle their differences with this new episode. Clearly the main priority is fan service, not plot or being politically correct. This episode was just hilarious. Waiting for some gifs to be produced, especially of Noe leaping into the giant boob trampoline.

I tried to convince myself I was watching it just because it seems to have yuri and a good opening song... but no, pretty sure there are other things that make me click it every week.

If you say so, she'll be in trouble due to her lacking of fighting and defense. Well, she'll need extra protection !

Pretty sure her breasts provide adequate cushion to protect her from anything. That's physics, right?

I'd go with the Asus. I've had great experiences with Asus and Acer products either way, but I'd consider more than the specs you listed - better camera on the Asus, lighter, screen size and screen to body ratio. The Acer may be a smidge better graphics wise but I doubt you'd really notice the difference. I've been through a few tablets and for internet browsing and reading they all seemed pretty similar to me, not enough of a difference to outweigh cost, camera quality, etc.

But when it comes down to it, it may just be better to find a store that might have them both in stock for you to check out before you buy. The worst thing is getting a new tablet/phone/computer and realizing once you get it set-up that it sits uncomfortably in your hand, or the weight is not to your liking.

I used a bunch of different tablets for work and data collection. I've had a few personal tablets, but I ended up getting a Galaxy because it was a deal with my wireless plan. I haven't noticed much of a difference between it and my work tablets.

For some reason I prefer playing them to watching a video... When it's still just text going across a screen.

A bit...disjointed

How I felt. It has solid potential I think, but a tough read.

Art isn't great, writing is sub par, character poses are awkward and look like they're being drawn from common reference photos. I saw the tags and was stoked, but it's a bit difficult to read. Looks like the artist needs some more experience.

To sum up.

Takeda - That 'politically correct' dude
Fujiwara - Generic asshole
Yuma - Dumb as bricks

Hotaru - Super Sexy Commando Angel (with some psychological issues)

I was scared to read this because of the bisexual tag, but I kind of don't read the girls as being bisexual. At least not Yuma. She seems thrilled by the idea of romance, but looking at it I think she only really has genuine romantic feelings for Hotaru. Takeda is the socially normal placeholder for her right now. The people in this that come off as awful are Fujiwara and Hotaru, but it seems that Hotaru is being sexually manipulated by her own boyfriend (and abused), and possibly in the past as well. She's just as vulnerable as Yuma in this case. It would be so easy for Fujiwara to call her out as a "sicko lesbo whore" and subject her to horrible bullying by her peers. Fujiwara holds the majority of the power in the story so far, and that makes me nervous.

I'm still optimistic for a good ending though. I haven't read anything by this author that didn't end well, hoping that they're scared to diverge from that trend haha. I can only hope for a change of heart in Fujiwara, healing of Hotaru's issues, and Yuma to get some brains. Takeda... can just stay the same, poor dude. Though I'd like to know how he ended up dating Yuma in the first place. I'm guessing he was the one to ask Yuma out, and she accepted more out of excitement for the idea of dating for the first time than genuine attraction. I don't think that makes Yuma a bad person though, it's perfectly normal at their age to make mistakes like that.

watched the anime too...
don't know what the heck going on...

With Ikuhara you have to look past the plot and more at his motivations. In this case, social convention and homosexuality. The PV itself stated the anime was "A story to join two lovers that have been separated from each other". Many art forms tend to depict homosexuality in subtle ways as the "monster" type of antagonist. Like people-eating bears. It's all yuri and freedom to love, plus bravery in defying social convention in the face of true love. It deserves a second watch if you didn't get it the first time. I found Mawaru Penguindrum (Ikuhara as well) to be more complex than this, though. But stacked with Morishima's character designs it was just too great.

Also, I get the feeling Ikuhara just really likes yuri.

I haven't kept track of anime the past couple seasons so I finally got around to watching some. I heard this one mentioned and didn't bother to get a summary before watching it because yuri generally trumps plot for me. Was definitely not expecting softcore porn and lights flashing trying to pass as censoring... That said I'll probably continue watching. It's my yuri duty, right?

Haha, I agree. I felt I could only pay tribute to their animation brilliance with an avatar. By the way, does anyone else think the opening song is way sexy? Not just the opening animation, but the song choice itself.

Finally watched the anime... Definitely saw a lot of similarities to Mawaru Penguindrum and Utena. Very cryptic at the beginning. I know some people found the style kind of alienating, but it's one that deserves a second watch. Loved it. Also, definitely helped that all of Morishima's character designs were so friggin cute.

Hey, you got your fist wrong in the last panel: put your thumb between your index finger and middle finger.

That's definitely not the way to make a fist. You'd break your fingers if you actually had to hit something.

I'm surprised no one posted the video for this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQk1_4ctCy4

if you want to see it in all its' glory I suggest you watch this cause the song really is.......yuri filled.

I was surprised no one posted it too! Pretty much best yuri song. Almost the sole reason I started playing School Idol Festival. The joy I feel when the song is up on daily!

I'm way too into this pairing. We need more doujins with them.

haha yay for featured stories...lol loved it, and after like 10th re-read still love it. i think the scene where hotei kisses mayo and touches her is way hotter than any flat out porn tbh. it's the...allusion to what may happen, their desires, etc that is much more appealing to me than open sex scenes. cause to be frank, there's not really a whole lot of um positions one can do for sex, so after reading who knows how many, you don't see a lot of variance. now, foreplay on the other hand, kissing, touching, etc, as you can see in this, can wildly differ from story to story. how it's done, when, with who, where. a lot more variance can be put into that. the desire in scenes like that seems a lot more ionno, legitimate? passionate? than when they are actually having sex, cause god knows we've all already seen the same facial expressions/looks/moans/groans involved in that.

I really like how this one ended. It's much better than a sexy ending. Though I would have liked at least a mutual kiss or something. At least a future with them together was shown.

This is so funny. Oddly reminiscent of high school, when I got into manga and anime due to liking a girl. Our tastes just did not match up, though. There were quite a few things that made me go "wtf", like gender reversal yaoi.

I'm really hoping for a big accidental confession.

Made the endcard for episode 2

Great, now you made me sad by recording me that Apocalypse was cancelled :(

So I'm correct assuming that this manga was dropped or the updates are just THAT slow?

If you're talking about Inu&Neko, the manga is still going. Two volumes out so far. It seems like a new scanlation group just picked it up though. I think there was a lack of interest until the shorts came out.

I really love how this series continues past the confession and actually focuses on their relationship. It's what I loved about Prism, too.

Also, hottest kiss:

I dunno, chapter 10 kind of competes for hottest kiss.

I'm very surprised that I haven't seen 9 and 10 on Yuri Project yet, they've been out for a while.

I know what you guys mean her work always has this wierd feeling to it like the characters don't really love each other or something like that. Everything feels so fragile in her works...

I think that they seem fragile because it's focused on one of their views. To me it seems more realistic... The main girl is a little unsure about the relationship, and the other comes off as sly. I think that it's clear that the girls do have feelings for each other... It's just not the cliche utmost devotion common in romance works.

I see some people can't get over their paranoia of angsty lesbians. I liked it, although it was a cock tease.

Also a clam tease, for anyone wondering.

Also can't wait for the nursing ones :( I don't want to spoil anything by looking at the CGs though.

Oh yea, that's their first one with adult characters right?
I am really interested in that one :O

I refuse to get non-translated ones or even look at the CGs, I want to experience it all together when translated :D

Yeah, they have a couple of them out. Looks like there are 8 untranslated VNs. Apparently RisaxMiya is another tsundere one so... pretty much obligated to play those, for the love of TsunTsuns.

Since it's pretty much all reading based with the few key visuals, it's pretty much impossible to go through without translations :(

Yeah, I got tired of Kaede's self-esteem problems very quickly. I prefer much stronger characters. I heard ErisxShizuku is good, so I will definitely play that one!

I've been kind of binging on them. They kind of go way too fast :(

ErisxShizuku is like another version of MaixReo, from Reo's perspective, but theres a bit more mature feel to them ofc.
Both couples quite fun.

Whelp! Just finished #8, which is all that is translated for now. I loved ErisxShizuku just as much as MaixReo. I think I prefer Shizuku and Mai the most. Kind of trying to imagine what the relationship would be like if Shizuku's partner wasn't an airhead.

Also can't wait for the nursing ones :( I don't want to spoil anything by looking at the CGs though.
