I'm sorry for the stupid question but his/her art/story is so good, why didn't he/she make an original series? Or he/she did but I don't know? :p

She (used to?) work a lot as Oshima Towa's assistant. There have been some small things here and there in her history though... including some pretty freaking terrible het porn (you do what you gotta do to pay the bills I guess, hahah.)

I feel like she just likes to draw massive amounts of lesbian sex and hence isn't interested in doing a serialised story. I can totally respect that, yo.

I like the idea that she began by being her assistant and then they just ended up living together.
Hmm, there are plenty of yuri mangaka I want to work for as an assistant then...

For a moment I had the impression to see Yui_7 drawing style...is it only me?
Well, as far as the story is concerned...that's just what happen when nobody is brave enough to put words on their emotions and communicate them.

Nico seems more mature than usual: yummy!

It seems just ecchi to me; no skin is revealed, and we even do not see a panty in this lool
But because this is Ooshima's art, this NicoxMaki is so burning hot that it falls in the NSFW category.
That's what I call a good job! :}

^This.
;}

I want a girlfriend like that.

Me too, wouldn't it be great to have a girlfriend who are willing to kill because she love you (yourself include). =D

Same here when I saw:

Then I remembered: "Oh wait, I already had that. And now it's on my no-no list which is entitled: [You fool, stop falling in love with crazy chicks]". :)

^Thanks for detailed answer.
I was not aware of this at all.
But to be so good with art, I guess it's not his first manga.

Is this self-published work or the author works somehow with a publishing house?

I love this guy, his doujins are always amazing

"I schlik to Honoka every night."

I ONLY DO IT EVERY OTHER DAY!!

What is this "schlik"? Do I even want to know what "schlik" is?

If you want to know.

Wooaa, the タチ、ネコ flag

lol!! Made me think of : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o2X0RKQH4M

Is this me, or a ghost mole makes an apparition on Maria's face here:
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/naisho_no_nail#11
then goes back to its previous state of non existence...

^
Waiting for the lewdness to stop being only metaphorical though...
:D

The new chapter is almost here. I can't wait! I want it to continue on forever. Is that okay?

As long as the yuri-vibes keep intensifying every chapter until it is too much for a mere human to bear it.

Stretch's real purpose for existing is to stretch the Earth into two via intense yuri-subtext earthquakes.
Doomsday is upon us.

This!
As always it gonna be tremendous.

I believed we were free to complete the list ?

You guys are so cute.

Thkx for the links~

Nope, she's French. http://www.solita-web.com/main.html
First line of the Biography section says born and lives in Paris (but this is from like 5+ years ago so idk if she's still there or in Japan now or something; either way though...). I also think she says it in the video on the home page.

Oh wow, so I wasn't that wrong about the fact that she may be from Paris.

Je me suis toujours demandé, a quoi ça ressemble un accent parisien ?

Hmmm, it's really a personal point of view, but it's only in Paris I heard women speaking with such intonations and "affected" kind of way.
A bit complicated to explain, but I think it has something to do with where they place their voice when they pronounce:"é" and "i" for example.

Yuri Kuma - here's an interesting MAD I've just found:

Definitely taking you to a part of Ikuhara's world :)

Waiting for the tomboy girl to finally get into the story!

Anyone noticed the necklace that kureha's mom is wearing in the photograph?

Could someone explain me? For some reason I think I saw it somewhere before, but even after rechecking all episodes I don't understand why.

It's the same one Ginko is wearing.

Ohhh, then... it may explain why Ginko knows her smell...and said she has been looking for her.

KUMA SHOOOCK!!!!
this is so good, I can't even!.. GAO GAO!!!
Anyways, it seems after two episodes and one week of heavy analysis I understand the show, its theme and the plot pretty well. Ask your questions, if anything's LOL unclear. I'll try to answer, one by one.

I want to hear you out.
Everything. Every burning thoughts you think can be shared.
Cuz, I am confused now... (even if, I must say, I kind of love this state of confusion)
:)

Read this blog entry. Despite it's based on ep.1, it's still mostly correct. And I'll keep posting my thoughts after every episode. As long as there's anything to add. But I'm pretty sure there will be ^_^ The previous entry could be an interesting read too, but it's far less precise as I posted it without even watching ep.1 - purely based on two manga chapters, some rumours, and analysis of Ikuhara's tropes and influences.

That is just. Amazing.
You made me lose my words.

Lesbears OP (watch it while it lasts!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64AbgBKTUGQ

What the hell did I just watch?

Also reports says that around the 17 minute mark, the show becomes a MASSIVE acid trip.

Why am I crying? Why is this so cute...aaaahh

"J'ai besoin de toi" at the end, do you hear it too?

Died from overload cuteness already

I didn't heard that, I wouldn't have noticed by myself but it's clearly what she says. It may be the first french line that doesn't feel weird in an anime/opening x)

I wouldn't mind having the french link x)

TBH I don't know if you've ever seen Nodame Cantabile (a great straight romance series btw) but one it's openings in one of the series is called "Tokyo et Paris" and let me just say, almost the entire opening through it is pretty difficult to tell what language they're singing in. I downloaded the actual song and I still struggle sometimes lol.

Have just checked on youtube.
If I can allow myself to answer : it's in French sang by a french girl with a parisian accent.
:)

Ps: If somebody finds out that the girl is Japanese, then I would be really impressed: to speak French so well with no foreign accent is incredible.

I have nothing to say in defense of this anime, I am now going to watch the episodes in "just because" mode...

Recycling animation never works btw

Indeed, it smells like Utena.
Even the sounds effect based on specific situations.
Same for Penguindrum and the phone's ringtone, if I am correct.

Beyond this. I find the whole show disturbing.
The way the voice actresses do their job even freaked me out:
(some voice's tone and modulation are sometime totally out of the place, and it is definitely made on purpose).
Even the use of silence surprised me: In a yuri anime, using silence to stress the tension in the atmosphere...I've never seen that before.

By the way, if we are careful enough, we will realise that it's always during the sexy scenes that the characters say something important about what's going on.

God, those girls are in heat.
#Ep 2.

i jumped into first half of ch13 but is there any yuri in this apart from the tag? -goes to read from ch1-

The main female character (Kuroko) is gay and has a girlfriend (and mistresses too I believe).
;)

If your favourite mangaka was officially releasing original doujin in English, what would you prefer buying:
Digital or Physical copies?
(Any reason explaining this preference?)

Digital all the way for me, since that's my preferred reading method. Takes up so much less space, my device is just the right size for reading manga, and no chance of damage like with a physical copy. Good all around.

Same here as my bookshelf is already full.
What device do you use to read them?
