I actually like sports manga, even more so if they're yuri. Looking forward to the match. >w<

Speaking of which, no offense, but Chinese people are, on average, not very tall, so when it says that these dudes are crazy tall, how tall are we actually talking here? I have cousins who are 6 ft that were such a rare sight when they visited China that strangers would ask for pictures with them.

I don't think it's genetic, because kids of Chinese extraction in my city (of which there are tons cause this is Vancouver) are the same height as everyone else. Meanwhile, this school seems to be firmly in the "burgeoning new Chinese middle class" category, so probably most of the kids there grew up on a more Western style diet, with more calories, meat and so forth. So they're probably mostly Western-size, no doubt towering over both their elders and poorer kids, and when they get old will have Western rates of heart disease etc.

Height is tied mainly with nutrition at an early age, so having a western diet when growing up would tend to produce kids that have the same growth curve as typical western kids. In males, there's a little influence of testosterone, as I recall, being one of the signals that turns growth off toward the end of puberty.

Yeah, that's why Koreans are you usually taller than other East/South East Asians. Different diets.
Or at least South Koreans. North Koreans are usually shorter than most other ethnic groups in general, since they're all starving, cause Kim Jong-Un ate everyone else's food.

Also, holy shit Nezchan you changed your picture (though its still someone nom noming on bread so I guess its not that big a change)

It's the same character, too. Except this time the art is by Tima.

Is there any particular reason why the scanlators haven't posted any more updates to this in over two weeks? It's been nineteen days since the last installment... which as far as I remember, is not a normal trend for this series. It would seem normal if you only followed it through Dynasty, since the updates are larger and take longer. but when you follow the scanlator's tumblr, it tended to get updates more frequently than it has been recently...

Are they just shifting focus to Beloved for their yuri kick, or has the artist for this thing been on a break/hiatus?

It probably had something to do with the author being on a vacation over the Chinese New Year and thus not drawing new pages.

Oooo...Bad call for that emotional display. Timing girl, timing. Unless it was intentional. In which case you devious girl. Naughty, naughty. Playing on your love like that.

We seem to be getting a new episode roughly every two weeks (If you are following the translators blog that is).
Tan Jiu does mention on her Weibo account that she wishes she could draw faster so at least she seems to recognize how popular this is.

I love the look Sun Jing gives the girl on the other team, it was like "good shot girl, awesome job,I won't let you do it again", Qt was just a little jealous. So cute!!
And the clumsy tall guy, still, u put him right under the hoop, he can at least dunk it.
