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) :)

Subtext... And one of the mcs write lesbian fictions, great

This seems like a lot of fun, i enjoyed the fakeout high school story with the colored pages

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

oh?? i was hoping for an update on any of orihi chihiro's works, but this is a welcome surprise...

omg

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.

> Protagonist writes lesbian fiction

> Wakes up next to half-naked woman

> Subtext

Hmm

... did she make kaori print it at her work? What is happening on that last page. Pariah of the local scene indeed, lmao

can someone explain the title

can someone explain the title

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.

Two futa mangakas collab with each other to make a subtext manga

What the fu...

We reach a point where charactees make yuri and still be subtext

the secondhand embarrassment when the coworker tries to drop references....

You can still enjoy a doujinshi without knowing the source.

i agree (coughs) especially if you prefer the doujins characterization to official sources (coughs twice)
