I'm glad she at least talked with Tong Tong about it, instead of causing some misunderstanding and complicating things later

It's getting so much betteeeeer ahhhh they're so cute, it's so soft I really love it!

I bet their mom's will end up meeting, maybe by them or by coincidence. Anyway, can't wait to see how they would react to each other and this whole situation

They're both sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute

The potential in those secret make out sessions though... I love the way this artist draws kisses and honestly I'm not that surprised things escalated so quickly from a peck.

good thing my dad doesn't care much about grades

I was reading chapter 31 raw just now, and there were these two panels:

I really was flabbergasted. "Doki doki" as in the Japanese sound for heartbeats? In Latin letters? In a Chinese manhua!?

Keep in mind that these are the raw originals, not some scanlated version!

I can only figure that the author picked that onomatopoeia from Western websites dedicated to Asian manga... I mean, it's not uncommon for us otaku to use "doki doki" in our writings or fanart...

Please don't directly post images from unreleased raws. Thank you.

Why would they get the onomatopoeia from western websites, when Japanese itself has romanization? (Hint: That's where it comes from.)

This isn't that surprising given some context. First, as you mention, "doki doki" as an onomatopoeia in romance manga is probably pretty commonly known. Second, the average manhua will know Latin characters with fewer knowing Japanese kana. It makes a lot of sense to use "doki doki" instead of ドキドキ given the intended audience if you're trying to play around with the trope.

That kind of was my point. In Japanese manga and Japanese websites they don't use "doki doki" in Latin characters but ドキドキ in katakana. If the author of this Chinese manhua had picked the onomatopoeia from a Japanese source, it wouldn't have been written in Latin letters.

The Chinese language prolly has some sort of onomatopoeia of its own for hearbeats... but this author chose to use something different, more original, more exotic. And they ended up with "doki doki" in Latin characters. I believe it's a case of a Japanese conventional sound effect reaching China in a roundabout way after a trip through the English-speaking world. Maybe it's just me, but it tickles me pink.

dorks: the manhua

Posting pictures of a chapter that is not translated yet is spoiler, no matter how you turn it. Man, i'm gonna go on some threads and posting some frames of untranslated chapters,not sure everyone gonna like it.

Or maybe just don't click the link of the image that OP specifically said is from an untranslated chapter. Seems simple enough to do.

This may not be my place to interfere with, but Orange Pekoe edited Nene's comment so that it has only links. If you look at Lilliwyt and Orange Pekoe's comments you can see they rebuked her for posting actual images, not links.

This is correct.

Let's stop discussing this, though. Any questions about moderation belong in the FAQ thread. Not here.

Similarly, the topic of hearts and onomatopoeia in an unreleased chapter really has no place here either. Let's stop discussing that, too. Thanks.

Oh no, straight into the arc where her Mom is going to try to seperate them. I REALLY want her to talk to Tong Tong's Mom as I say she would tell to shove it and the let the two be happy which is what I would love to see.

That sounds very plausible. Tong Tong's mom has been extremely supportive of their relationship so far. Xiao Lu's mom otoh... we don't know yet what's her take on lesbian lifestyles, but everything we have seen so far suggests that she won't be very happy. Consider that even if her daughter was dating a boy she'd undoubtly throw a fit—when she finds Xiao Lu is dating a girl it's gonna be UGLY.

Well I hope they can keep it a secret from her for a lo-o-ong time. I want to see them happily exploring their newfound love and doing all the exciting things a couple of girlfriends can do. I don't want them to fall into an angst storyarc the very moment they have become lovers. ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)
