Yeah, we're somehow gonna break last year's records for summer...Will eventually have some serious (good) news about managing that now & into the future. Don't think we were totally prepared for so many folks to stick around!

You mean the GAP cast? They are all very young, yeah, but they are not children. Take the two mcs: Freen Sarocha who plays Khun Sam is 23, and Becky Armstrong who plays Mon is 19.

I guess for our Western sensibilities this can feel strange since we are (in)famous for casting middle aged people in pretty much every role, no matter how young the character... even in teen movies & shows it happens sometimes that the youngest actor among those who play the teens is 30.

In Asia it's often the other way around. In the novel, Sam is 29 and Mon is 24... and they purposefully picked two girls much younger to play them!

It's time to send invitations for the wedding of KIRK & SAM!

Yeaaaaaah... okay.

I'm guessing that the teaching of the English language in Thai schools is about as good and efficacious as it is in Japanese schools, lmao.

I don't know how many of you will be interested in knowing this, but new chapters of Ichigo Mashimaro have been recently published. Yep, after a very long hiatus, Barasui is at work again. The new chapters have been translated and you can read them online here:

Good luck! I'm about to travel back to the college as well. You'll be fine! Relax, don't get distracted by boobies and you'll pass your classes.
If you DO get distracted...try to keep it in moderation.

Speaking of which, anything on the Senran x Nep game? I also wonder if that new Senran game is actually ever coming out.

It's already out in Steam, Neptunia x Senran, not sure how good it is but I mean, it's a Neptunia game, you know what to expect XP I'm more curious about the new sister game and Nepgear x Uni stuff included.

Speaking of Yuri, weird thing that happened, not gonna share details of what I'm drawing right now but I noticed twice already that if you post something in patreon and include the word "yuri" in your post description, the website gives you a red pop up warning that it's really bad and that if you DARE to post whatever it is you're doing, someone it's going to come and review your account to see if it's safe and not showing any underage character.

But you can say fuck, naked, sex, nsfw or whatever and that's okay? (of course you have to set your account content to adult first, but even with this configuration, the word yuri is dangerous) so is like, they associate the word yuri with loli stuff... And I find that quite strange.

Didn't Patreon (and by extension PayPal) once declare that any anime/manga style characters would be considered underage?

Since "Yuri" is pretty much exclusively used for works in that style (novels notwithstanding), that was my first association in this case, though Nevri's probably right with regards to LGBT+ stuff being considered "AO".

Never heard of it, but if they indeed said so, then it's retarded af.

I think I may have misremembered that. Digging around a bit I found references that it "merely" applied to sexualized depictions of suspected underage characters, which to be fair would basically be the majority of anime/manga characters.

So no loli lewds and no school girl lewds I guess.

Indeed it has an issue with manga style because the size of eyes of anatomy so if a person comes to review it, it's entirely arbitrary if they decide to shut down your account.


On a lighter note, I found a new manga from Jump + ! It's super fun, about an otaku exorcist girl and her gal friend... They deal with very otaku related ghosts lol, and yup the protagonists are girls but I'm repeating mantras in my mind like "it's not yuri, it's not yuri, it's not yuri, it's not yuri" to try and enjoy the comedy with open mind and relaxed lol

Ghostbuster Osamu, Link to read the ch 1 and 2 officially https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100204
I also recommend reading Ruri the dragon, Magilumiere Co and It's time for Torture.

I just had a thought. Is there a Harem manga and/or anime wherein the main character is not the center of the harem, but a part of it instead? (Het, Yuri, Yaoi, doesn't matter)

Off the top of my head Scummy Gap Student might count toward that. Such a story would have to be quite focused on the competition aspects.

Sigh...this semester has been really boring! Well except for Friday, I guess? I had a Shawn of the dead moment and went outside during a "situation" lmao, I'm ok tho.

Feels weird to ask about this particular series on Dynasty, but it's kinda the only Manga/Anime/LN forum I'm involved with...
What English version of Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation would be the best to read? The official Seven Seas one? Did they iron out the glaring censorious, character- and plot-altering changes they made at first and republish? If not, is there a specific fan translation I should seek out? (no, I'm not asking for a link to a pirate site, obviously)

Also and more relevant to Dynasty because subtext: Bofuri Season 2 hype.

So...Hapi x Constance was one of the few platonic A rank supports in 3H irrc, their A rank in 3 hopes is just them flirting like it's some kind of yuri manga lmao. It's not the only one either, there's some yuri here even without the romance endings, feels like Hilda is trying to build a harem by flirting with all the cute girls lol. Now has an A ran with Lysithea and goes full sister complex on her. On her B with Leonie, they get embarrassed about "mixing their aromas", similar to 3H with Marianne, they pretty much call each other the most "important person". Gay
It seems like there's variations to supports depending on the route? I started with Golden deer again, I think I'll go blue then red. Kind of annoyed you have to skip Byleth after clearing a run where you successfully recruited them for an extra paralogue, it's very counter intuitive and I'm glad I spoiled myself with that while looking at the other paralogue conditions.

I'm surprised how well they translated everyone to musou style. Like how Leonie still kicks major ass and Raphael still kinda sucks ass.

They say GAP the tv series will start airing at the end of the year. In the meanwhile, I found a new trailer. It's much longer than the previous ones, which were only 30 seconds long; this one is seven minutes and a half.

GAP The Series - Long trailer

Interesting how they tweaked some details of the plotline. In the novel there's a huge cast of girls most of whom are bisexuals, some are lesbians and a few are het. In the tv series, it would seem they decided to make every girl gay, lol. They even released a poster named THE COUPLES showing the main cast cleanly separated in five f/f couples:

Gap TV couples poster

(The two guys sitting in the middle are Kirk and Nop, the doomed suitors of the two lead ladies. Looking at the faces they are making, I guess they just realized no girl in the universe want their asses and they'll have to resign themselves to date each other...)

We finally have a definite date. Was about time, too!

Ep.1 will air in Thailand on Saturday November 19. After airing, it will be uploaded on Idolfactory official Youtube channel. There will be a new episode every Saturday.
