I saw them too ,but I understood nooothing. So i'm eager to see why what happens.

What a circus. Oh well, at least I can now wait for the rest with tempered expectations. At least it has the ultimate outcome I wanted, though ironically the final romantic resolution lacks the kissing so liberally and gratuitously employed everywhere else in the manga. :P

My thoughts exactly...

i mean there was this weird small smooch at the hmmm vacation they had or something and the tiny little cute signs of affection,till where Anna has to go away to study or something, (that's easy to understand hehe) so the big kiss would of been great but it kinda shows their love was pure or something,although Ema liked having her face against Anna's panties

I am still trying to figure out what is up with the older cousin . Is she in a relationship with this woman named Yoshino , or is she in love with her own cousin . Is the younger cousin falling in love with her older cousin ? Way too many opening's with this story , hopefully the holes will get filled in as the story progresses .

I think is pretty clear that Ema had a relationship with Yoshino and is using her cousin as sort of replacement. Her cousin on the other hand doesn't know what the hell is happening with her other that she's starting to see girls on a very different light.

I don't think Anna is "starting to see girls in different light." There is no indication of her reaction toward naked bodies of same genders in her past. So all we know is that she could have already been attract to the female population in the first place. But because of Ema recent appearance into her life, not to mention Anna being rather 'charmed' by her 1/6 cousin's beauty, she has became more conscious about the bodies of her female peers, as we see in the locker room of Chapter 2. In short, Anna is not becoming a lesbian, she is becoming aware of her sexuality.

I have also been wondering about the panty sniffing , Could it be a qwerk or maybe a fetish to sniff a virgin's p***y . I don't think it's a sign of dominance , because if she wanted to dominate her little cousin it would be fairly easy . I am curious to see how this story unfolds with Yoshino and Ema with their background story , and maybe we will see the birth of a new lesbian should she choose that route or maybe she will run away from it all and try and find something like the norm .

Wow

To me Anna is pretty gay

Wait, the transition was absolutely terrible so I couldn't really tell. Did she actually make out with Miku? It felt like a fantasy but the way they showed it made it look real.

The panty sniffing can be considered as hentai logic for all I care. But if it need to be taken seriously, I would say consider it as a very sexualized hug, kiss, or greeting. And yes, as far as the story goes, this is not an act of domination. It is really just a "hug" in, again, porn logic.
Anna is not to be considered submissive either, not as yet anyway. At the end of Chapter 2, it reviews that she is charmed by or probably already fallen for Yoshino's beauty. She is far too, in a way, seduced that she is willing forgive most of what that Ema does, panty sniffing included.

Wow

To me Anna is pretty gay

Gay as in she is "lame" or gay as in she is "homosexual" ?

I just still don't get the yuri love here... So i'm waiting for the end i guess...? XD

Homosexual. There is different meaning of word gay?

I'm conflicted about this manga. Good thing Anna said no, but my stand stays. At this rate Ema is going to rape Anna. I don't really find their relationship charming.

no,no it's not like that, you are misunderstanding poor Ema, she is a troubled woman,yes,with a strange sexual hug aka panty sniffing thing,but I am sure in my heart she is a good person and means no harm

Well, without saying anything about what may or may not happen later on, it's clear to me that Ema regretted a great deal what she just did to Anna and believes she hurt her badly. And that is why she called herself completely worthless. It's because she believes she just did something terrible to Anna, not because she believes herself to have no worth. Of course this is just my own opinion. Just because I'm the translator does not mean I know what the artist was thinking.

As a side note, this scene caught my attention before I ever decided to do this manga, and it's in part because of this scene that I decided to pick up the project despite a number of personal reservations.

Well if she thinks she did a horrible thing then it means she has some sort of consciousness and she is a nice person!!!

Shortly answering first question: yes, the word 'gay' is often used in different connotations.

Just to make it clear, Anna says 'no' not because she thinks the action being done is morally wrong. There are other emotions at play here.
And I doubt rape will be involve in this story. Even if Ema is a rapist, I think that would destroy the central main theme of 'Age 15'. This story so far is about Anna's transition to woman hood. She is learning how to make up, questioning adults' behavior, and becoming aware of her "taste." For rape to be involve would destroy any point of the story.

I think Anna is feeling weird cos she felt something,like maybe some slight sexual arouse by her cousin pressing against her panties,but also confused cos she's left out and also worried cos Ema seems lonely and she doesn't understand what's the deal with Yoshino-san,well i don't either.

Well, without saying anything about what may or may not happen later on, it's clear to me that Ema regretted a great deal what she just did to Anna and believes she hurt her badly.

I got that. She clearly knows that she went too far. That doesn't change the fact, that it is the second time she took advantage of Anna's kindness. Not to mention this time Ema actually started making out with her. If I were in Anna's place, I'd be freaking out at this point. Let's say I'm kind of person who often relates to characters strongly and reading it from Anna's perspective made me felt disturbed. To me this just isn't normal.

Shortly answering first question: yes, the word 'gay' is often used in different connotations.

I was partially joking. I know that word gay is often used in phrases like "so gay" etc. but I honestly never knew what exactly people understood by that. So the meaning was lame. That being said, I joked like that, because to me word gay means only one thing. Someone or something acting in homosexual manner (whatever you understand by that) and this is the only way I'll ever use that word. To me Anna is clearly a lesbian, but unaware of it. She was unconformable changing with others girls, was interested in Ema's body as well as in this chapter, she fantasied about 2 girls kissing. Remember, all she saw was Miku making out with some random guy. Even if she is just starting to noticed her sexual desires, what she is imagining after what she was exposed to tells me a lot. I'm not going to argue with anybody about that. This is how I interpret it.

Just to make it clear, Anna says 'no' not because she thinks the action being done is morally wrong. There are other emotions at play here.

Well then it frightens me even more what would happen if she wasn't conflicted about her emotions and let Ema do whatever she wanted. I couldn't honestly enjoy it, when the reason why they would go further was Ema's pushiness.

And I doubt rape will be involve in this story. Even if Ema is a rapist, I think that would destroy the central main theme of 'Age 15'. This story so far is about Anna's transition to woman hood. She is learning how to make up, questioning adults' behavior, and becoming aware of her "taste." For rape to be involve would destroy any point of the story.

I agree. As I said before, I don't mind rape in story when it is done right, but here it would ruin everything. Still, I keep on talking about it, exactly because this is the vibe Ema's behavior is giving me.

Phyis, Procyon, and Yuri Girl, continued thanks for all your hard work on these. We all appreciate it greatly.

I'm curious as to what's up with Ema and Yoshino now. Like are they actually lovers? Or is that a misunderstanding? Kinda hard for me to tell unless clear, cut, and obvious evidence that I am brainfarting on suggests otherwise.

Other than that, I wonder if Miku's rambunctious lifestyle is gonna be addressed at all in the future chapters, or if it'll just continue to be glorified. Hopefully not the latter, but I suppose it's a minor enough theme that I can give this series a hall pass if it doesn't particularly engage that battle.

Without knowing anything about the future chapter, I still bet on Anna x Ema for the end.

Probably because a) Ema and Anna appear first (First Girl Wins Trope); and b) if you notice, the art in Chapter 1 showing the two actually switched their panties (this one http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/age_15_ch01#9). Which was already used by Asagi Ryuu several times in his/her other manga.

Wow, Ryu asagi's art is dreadful, now wonder that xenocross sonohana series tanked so hard

According to this Ryu choose to left the project for undisclosed reasons

*Xenocross was a digital yuri magazine that released its works in a lot of languajes. Its main work (the one they used to promote the magazine) was a semi-official Sono Hana doujinshi called "Music Box of Memories". Pretty much no one liked the adaptation and the manga died after 3 chapters, since their main work failed, the entire magazine flopped and died too.

While Craig got a lot of hate because of that shit, I'm pretty sure he is disliked by some people for others reasons too (like his pantihose fetish, his obsession with Kaede, his robotic answers, his autism, etc...) I still don't get who thought that the xenocross sonohana thing was a good idea. The setup was a shitty AU from the start.

Making a sonohana doujin that is good is easy. And they managed to fuck it up.*

Straight from /u/ so you KNOW it's legit

omg when is the next chapter?

Hmmm..? Jealousy? Totally...

omg when is the next chapter?

I'm working on it. Just watch; see if I get it out this year. No I'm serious, I have no idea if I'll get it out in the next few days or next month. But I thought I'd let you know it is being worked on.
Spoiler: I wonder how Anna will treat Ema after that "event?" And will Anna ever see it in a different light?
Bigger spoiler: Just what are Ema and Yoshino doing on that park bench?

Het on page 94

Just letting you know that there will be no more het in this volume. As for vols 2 and 3, I haven't looked closely enough to be sure if they have it, but it will never be more than a minor element.

Edit: Oh, and It turns out I did get this one out this year (barely).

The odd thing in that manga is that whole crotch sniffing thing.

I mean it's not something I (or anyone for that matter) would do with someone I'm not in a real close relationship with, as in, actual lovers you know.

That Anna would let her do is even more odd.

It's like putting your hand in another girl's panties and say "it's only for calming myself... no homo and no deep meaning".

het!!

Seriously, could people stop screaming het every single time ? That's becoming frankly annoying. -.-

It's nothing but a slightly more vivid flashback to the previous chapter anyway. At first I wasn't going to include the het tag, but then I decided I'd better.

Thanks for your hard work!
