Does anyone else feel the mangaka just kinda gave up on drama after seeing all the backlash it got and decided to go back to fluff? Because the tone changed real fast and suddenly.

Isn’t it wonderful how some readers feel they can dictate what an author can and can not do with their own work?

I think the readers can dictate the story, to some extent. It's certainly the author's prerogative to write the story as they envision it. However, if the readers reject the story, the writer will have to adapt, or get a real job to make a living.

oh no she's a whale

???

A whale is somebody who spends shitloads of money on a game.

I have honestly never heard that before. Is it a japanese term?

Please define what a “real job” is.

Also, if anyone had a influence on what direction they went with it wouldn’t be us freeloaders.

No, it’s a gambling term. From the pov of say, casino owners, “whales” (i.e., really big spenders who don’t care how much they lose) can be a major income stream. (aka, “high rollers.”)

There are people who think nothing of dropping a couple million dollars over a weekend.

I've certainly seen it used in MMO/F2P contexts for years.

Aah I get it now. Thanks Felloffalot! (and Blastaar!)

I tend to think of this site as testing grounds for possible licensing by U.S. publishing companies or anybody else wanting to pick up language-translation-publication rights to a manga translated and uploaded here.

Users on this site get to see yuri stuff for free, waaay early, and freely comment on stuff published to test out plausible marketable ideas... that’s the perks. On the negative side, users have to sift through a lot of crap (and comment on it) from newbie mangakas, encounter lots of junk that doesn’t crossover languages/cultures at all, and deal with subject matter verging on repulsive.

One person’s opinion doesn’t sway the market, but happenstance collective approval or disapproval can make or break a plausible yuri manga.

Edit: oh, listen to George Thorogood’s “Get a haircut” song to understand what a real job is... 9 to 5 crap that someone else tells you what to do or else find another real job.

Holy shit the last page of chapter 14 is the most adorable thing. Girlfriend problems are universal, apparently...

Well that would be any job that brings in actual money. Artist integrity, is a grand romantic idea, but it doesn't always pay the bills.

Touche.

Even though the 3 chapters are fluffy and sweet for now, but I do have a feeling it’s just the calm before the storm....

There's no way we won't get a showdown between shoujo batto and undercut-san sooner or later.

Just for the record, I understand the reference. ^_~ I do remember Shounen Batto very well. Good series, Paranoia was.

I'm hoping it's something stupid like, they're going to fight physically, but instead one of them challenges the other to mahjong, but it's like an epic game and at the end they're friends.

oh cool, the opportunities for violent confrontation in the story just doubled

well someone has a sister complex

Damnit. No choice but to go down the incestuous polyamory route now.

Evrybody knows that the only way of settling things is through a children's card game.

Literally my first thought when I finished reading... this site has ruined me

Imouto, no! This isn't a Mochi story... I think.

Iori's sister keeped calling Minami a man. Didn't she realise Minami was a woman? Or, was it just a generation, to lump Minami in with all Iori's exs?

Edit: instead of generation I ment generalization.

A well known whale, usually gets their room and food comped, because casino owners knows they will make up the losses on the casino floor.
My friend likes to gamble. He was always traveling around, to casinos all over the country, despite only working at a corner convenience store. We use to jokingly call him "The jet setting store clerk." and "The poor man's whale"'

Clingy Imouto has joined the brawl.

Yandere Imouto doesn't beat around the bush, I'll give her that...

I suppose her attitude is somewhat understandable given Iori's... questionable... dating history but still.
