Musihara and Orihi Chihiro?? Two absolute goats coming together to conceive brilliance, no doubt

Musihara and Orihi Chihiro? If this series'd ever have a steamy chapter, good chance it'd be futa, then :))

Orihi Chihiro making a subtext?! this should be interesting. Chihiro has a thing for making works that are addictively bittersweet, so I’m curious how this will turn out. So far, it seems pretty light hearted (compared to their other works) :)

I see Orihi Chihiro is doing anything but continuing Chasing Spica.

I actually experienced a Full-body cringe when she didn't remember her classmate's name. Then another at the drunken request. Adulting is hard and I already love these two idiots.

Running purely off the English translation , "crosswing" refers to a wing of a building, not a flight wing. It sounds like something that should fly, but once you see it it's obviously impossible. The Japanese name has something completely different in place of crosswings (Google Translate says "engaged dragonfly"?), so I'm guessing it's a similar sort of pun.

hmm indeed, I can totally see this taking a very intimate route.

I saw this, which looks to me like an attempt to define that "cross dragonfly wings" thing at the start of the title -- I think the English term is "crop marks". My wife knows a lot more about the specifics of print vocabulary than I do, but she also learned everything in Spanish so I may be close-but-not-quite referring to what these lines are.

Given that this is about a specific kind of self-print/publish activity, it makes some sense to me, but I don't know that there's a great way to preserve that aspect of the title, so I can understand why "crosswings" was chosen even if it doesn't have much to do with printing.

EDIT: "Can't harvest crop marks"? best I can do. sorry.

You can still enjoy a doujinshi without knowing the source.

Lies! We all know that's impossible and no one would ever develop an interest in a franchise or series because of the hentai they found of the characters, right?

Right?
