Yeah, let's leave the younger brother all anxious and alone for the night and go enjoy my fake relationship instead, cause my friend dared me to it.
Yeah, let's sit to have a pee with my pants on cause I'm deaf and can't hear there's anyone taking a shower right now.
...

Can't believe that despite all this nonsense, I keep digging it...

This is... i don't... Oh gawd... So Fluttering feelings is over and this came to my life...

Lucky you! To me this is galaxies away from FF on so many levels.

Just watched Her Story, which is described as "a 6-episode new-media series that looks inside the dating lives of trans & queer women as they navigate the intersections of desire & identity." It's quite good, the writing and acting are spot-on, production values are tight, and the issues raised ring true. Best of all, the two leads have chemistry up the wazoo!

Hey Nez, thank you so much for the series! It landed on me in the very moment I needed some support and delivered sooooo well!

What really sealed the deal for me was when Hina got all stroppy about not being able to meet up on Sunday (even though she never even asked) and even after overhearing Hana making plans with her friend, got shocked/disappointed when she was invited to come as well

You're confusing Hana and Hina. Hina's tall, blond, gyaru. Hana's dark-haired, "short and round".

I'm sure Hana will turn around second to last chapter and be like "oh wow im really gay for you all along!" but right now I'm not getting any feelings of Hana liking Hina anymore than a friend.

I assume I should read Hina instead of Hana everywhere in your post.

Nah, reread the post

Oh my, actually what I should've reread was the chapter, because I was the one who confused everything... Now I feel so dumb and embarrassed... My bad. I'm really sorry!

Licensed???

Yes, Seven Seas has licensed it.

Buy it if you have the money to. It'll be a good translation as 7S usually gives us. I'm fairly sure the scanlations will keep going, though, with this new scanlator.

I wonder what the chances are to get a kindle version of that?

I assume I should read Hina instead of Hana everywhere in your post. So Hina's obviously gay for Hana since chapter 3:
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hana_and_hina_after_school_ch03#22
So when she says, "I'm still weird, aren't I", she's concerned with having a sexual desire for Hana, not with her obsession over cute things.

Unlike Hina, who is pretty clear with her feelings, Hana herself is going to take a while accepting her feelings over Hina. She knows she's attracted to Hina, but she's taking her time to realise the power and the origin of this attraction.

And I'm pretty sure that once Hana understands her feelings, just like in GF, it's going to take a while before she'll manage to convey them to Hina, because the latter will do everything she can to clarify if Hana is really interested in her in the right way.

So the characters are like this: Hina understands her sexuality and feelings but is oblivious to Hana's feelings. And Hana is oblivious to her own feelings for Hina. Therefore for them to succeed as a couple, first, Hana needs to accept her ownself, and then Hina needs to accept Hana's feelings for her are true and not her imagination.

Oh, this was soooo sweeeet!!! Best manga of the month for me. Didn't see anything bisexual in it by the way. And I wonder if the author portrays herself in Momoka or Sakura. I really like her works.

Tfw 2 out of 3 characters were bisexual

Well, Momoka didn't have a single successful relationship with a guy... so she was in a closet, experimenting... and Sakura.. Same for Sakura. And you know what? That guy... HE was totally gay! LOL

Oh finally a conflict to make the two closer. It seems to be jealousy-driven on both ends. And it seems Hana fell for Hina. Not accepting it yet, but I think she's pretty conscious about her feelings. Hina's compliment from the previous chapter and them sleeping together did the trick, I assume.

PS
And whoever keeps working on the TL, thank you very much! Please, keep up the good work!

Actually Takachi, I am thinking of fanfics to realise the noisy thoughts in my head. Buuuut not sure where to get started. You have ideas? I can provide the words hehe. I'm a full-time writer ^^

Hi ann!
I always wanted to get my Australlian zombie FF special xD So how about this:
Chapter 1.
Turns out that through Seola's family or Norae's luck in some kind of lottery, the girls get two tickets to go to Sydney for a two-week trip. So they do. The hotel with one queen bed or a villa devoted for the "just married" is in their hands for our fantasizing.
So then, acting the normal tourists, all the couple does in the first days is explore the sights. And one of those is the huge Taronga zoo. You know, the one with kangaroos and cute koalas. There they get caught by a massive thunderstorm. And one of the flashes hit Norae! So when she comes to her senses she figures out her heart no longer beats, and she feels hungry for Seola's juices brains (gosh, I feel embarrassed for writing that).
Chapter 2.
In this chapter Seola learns the hardships of taming and caring for a very cute zombie living next to her.
Chapter 3.
Seola and Zombie-rae come back to Korea. Norae secretly eats Jihwan and other guys hanging around Seola. And at one night she bites Seola too, converting her to zombie! So Seola ends up getting rid of some annoying human rivals too. The chapter ends with a sudden plot twist. They girls receive a mail from Australia with blood stains on the envelope. Who could it be from?
Chapter 4.
Turns out the mail came from (shame on me, what's her name!) Seola's school friend who died in a bus accident in Australia. So the readers were right - she did survive by turning into a zombie.
So then the rest if the story the girls fight her as the main boss. Insert some twists that she was the one who brought the "luck" to get the couple in Australia and she was the one who controlled zombie infecting thunderstorm. So there's some secret organisation behind who developed a zombie virus.
Finally Seola and Norae win, develop the antidote, become humans again, and fly to Paris for a looooong lewd French kiss.

PS.
LOL, we could also make a yonkoma manga with chibi characters for that! littleyuri could you draw that? xD

Next Sunday perhaps? ;)

It's been a while. I was catching up with the latest chapters. I was so happy to know that I needed to read like 30 chapters before I can catch up. I was so inspired that I just needed to draw No Rae... In a suit :D

! IT'S THIS ONE

(I don't know how to show the picture ;c)

wow! so cute!!! Please draw mooooore!!! I miss them so much... so wish there were a chapter suddenly tomorrow...

Ssamba, I hope you're recovering well! Send you my fan warmth, hugs, greetings, and love!!

I can write fan-fiction if you wish.

It would involve train wrecks, Australia, NTR and incest.

Please, do! I'd love to read yours, actually! Just hope it'll be longer than a two-liner :P

Don't know about you, buyt I'm hoping for a chapter today!

I hope for a chapter every week........... cries

oh, don't cry, my dear! Let's write a fanfic together!

I was hoping that someone would write FF fan fiction again.. oh, I can't really find a substitute to the series....
if only i knew how to write creatively, i would definitely write some fanfic for seol-a and no-rae

Oh. it's easy with fanfics! You just write without thinking if it's creative enough, good enough, or whatever enough. Just write anything that comes to mind. Let the others read. Get feedback. And improve with the next fanfic ;)

Haha it could be because someone else actually messed it up on here before, and you read their comments. My point was just that Ssamba never stated about starting short then extending more. It mightve been true, but its not a fact either.

yeah.. so all we have left to do.. is reread the story... again and again... and pray for Ssamba's soon recovery!

@takachi

I agree that some kind of time skip would be fitting. Although, I think another girl flirting with Seol-a might be enough to push No-rae to her. Especially, if it looks like Seol-a is responding to it. I doubt something like that would happen.

It's been so long, does anyone remember if Ssamba had an idea of how FF was going the whole time or what she writing it on the fly? ( As in, was the story completely planned out already?) I honestly, can't remember.

She mentioned once, that she didn't expect the story to last so long and at some point around her first break, last summer, she ended up with an idea to develop it further for about 100 chapters. But it's never been defined for 100%. And based on development in the last chapters it felt more like she just let her characters live losing her own control over the story. I only felt that she didn't want to have the girls confessing so soon, keeping us fluttering on the very edge with each new chapter. I think she defined some major milestones of her story, but perhaps the characters forced her to deviate from those. And perhaps that, together with very strict weekly schedule, put too much stress on her, because she had to reconsider a lot of things.

No, I think you've messed it up with WDTFS authors? Lol. If I recall correctly, Ssamba has always planned it to be around 100 chapters since the very beginning after she decided to get it serialized.
I typeset the 2nd special chapter for FF's Q&A so I remember her answers pretty well lol. Even in her first Q&A, she already said there's so much left of the story to tell when responding to the complaints about the pacing.

Wow... really? I don't know a thing about other manhwas. The only one I read and love is FF! LOL. Anyway, I probably really got confused somehow. But rereading the specials, I don't know, it doesn't really tell any definite facts. Neither about planning 100 chapters from the beginning, nor about the length of the story in general. Even her comments on pacing - "so much left" is too subjective. For example, she thought there would be a lot to tell, but it turned out that that lot took a noticeably fewer chapters than she originally expected. So I wouldn't draw any definite conclusions from the specials.

ugh! UGH! UGUUU...
So I'm finally done with my online courses and exams... and realised that there's still NO new chapter from FF? Ssamba!! God of zombies, please, let her be OK! Oh don't tell me she flew away to Australia... Ssaaambaaa!! Please, get better and come back to us!! We miss you so much!! We miss your work so muuuuuch!! It simply cannot be replaced by ANYTHING!

I also thought what COULD be in the next chapter... and I couldn't think of anything... that really scares me a bit, Although, realistically, I think another time skip would be quite fitting. Ah, where are those slice of life cute moments of two cute girls loving each other!

oh, Nanami's so lucky to have found Yuu. Yuu is just so adorable, she's perfect. And her facial expressions too, when she's about to spill a secret - haha, so sweet. And Yuu already thinks of Nanami as cute, hehe. She's progressing! Good, very good! Guess she'll be talking to sensei about her confusing feelings soon.

Dear Ssamba! Just get well! I'll pray for you! All of us will!
Remembering how sensitive you're to stress, and how easy it is to get stomach-related issues from stress and burnout... and having been through this all by myself once too, I really wish you all the best! Please, sleep well, 7-8 hours a day, minimum. Please, go to sleep early, before midnight preferably. Please, eat well! It's best to cook for yourself - it helps both with your own discipline and taking care of the food being proper for your stomach. Please, relax and smile more, smile at everything because nothing deserves to make you feel unhappy! After all, life itself is a once in a lifetime experience, so you better enjoy it :) Please, find yourself a good psychotherapist who can help you to get through your hardships and to sort out all your worries. If you're by any chance really reading this now and feeling like talking to me, just mail me to takahashi.eria [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com - I'll be really glad to help ;)
