This is literally absolutely adorable!!! I was thinking to myself, “Just date already,” and guess what?!

Oh hey I didn't know this made it to Dynasty. The series is really cute so far and I'm looking forward to future chapters!

i love how asaka is just autistic. this is soooooo cuuuuuute, huge thank you to the scanlator

Finally this piece of gem made it to DynastyScans, they’re so gay and adorable!
And they are childhood friends!!!

If I knew this would get here, I would've waited a few days longer to read it lol. Still, nice to have an excuse to re-read it now

Feels very similar to the gyaru one, and some others. Nice enough though, I suppose.

This is going to be an incredibly sweet ride, isn't it? Good grief.

Also, is it just me or the artstyle has a U-temo vibe to it?

Loving the "me and the baddie I bagged by being autistic" vibes

"Wall Slam"

Asaka' rizz is off the fucking charts

Ah, they're adorable. ^_^

oh this is so adorable wtf, ty for the translation !

I love this already. Very comfortable beats, but with this... heightened energy.

This is fantastic, love the soft energy

Awww, this is so gosh darned sweet! And they're nice girls and I want them to be happy and it looks like they are, so that's great.

This is so cute thank you for the translation!

The patterns on the dress and on the skirt in chapter 3 are so obviously some pre-made assets, it's grating. Author took a mighty shortcut with it. They don't even scale. Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.

This is so cute?? The first chapter was so fun and they even immediately got together! I'm loving this.

Also, the translator comments after the second chapter were somehow more hilarious than the chapter itself. How the hell is the author posting such long chapters on a weekly basis lol. Good luck to the translator and thanks for your efforts! :D

Already better than how do I get together with my childhood friend

I dropped this yesterday on like ch. 1 p. 16 because fake dating was always a trope I hate but I'm soooooo glad I returned. They only looked like uselesbians at first and asdzedvuaw they're so wholesome! I'm almost feeling like I'm squandering the preciousness by reading it on a good day.

Also impeccable timing. With My Devilishly Sweet Girlfriend ending soon, this will be a welcome replacement.

Literally the perfection i need. Thanks to bringing this diamond.

how'd they even do that

I'm guessing outline the girl, fill the dress, then pencil in the arms? I dunno if that makes sense

Those are screentones and mangaka always use them. Don't badmouth creators when you don't understand the process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screentone

Most mangaka don't have screentone going seamlessly from chest to sleeve, as here: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/friend_girl_friend_ch03#3

or here https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/friend_girl_friend_ch03#6

The fact that the pattern totally ignores the drapery, motion, or angles of the dress is pretty distracting.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/friend_girl_friend_ch03#14 pattern remains vertical with respect to page, despite Asuka leaning forward and the 'camera' being at an angle.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/friend_girl_friend_ch03#18 screentone suddenly huge with respect to her body

Yuuki's skirt is also screentone, but it manages to be less egregious.

Granted I'm no artist, but I feel that just hand drawing some equivalent lines would have been about as much work with a much better result; at least they could look like they were trying to follow the curves of her body, and basic geometry.

It's a cute story and I'll probably keep reading it, but man, the dress art for chapter 3 stands out and not in a good way.

I have to agree that the dress is positively atrocious and really draws attention to the practice, but in general the use of static textures for clothing patterns is nothing I'd blame an artist for. (Even 3D-modeling eventually gave up on doing it realistically, instead opting for a computationally cheaper way that is technically inaccurate, but "good enough".)

You can see similar things even in high-budget promotional art that you'd expect had dozens of eyeballs over it. (Another example; Persona in general is frequently guilty of it.)

It's a valid observation, but ultimately not any different to "real hair doesn't work that way". Like, yes, so what? You choose to pick up the picture book with the deliberately exaggerated and stylized art.
