Then don't miss its awesome sequel [which seems to be on-hiatus, or very irregularily updated] on the artist's deviantart !

Deviantart is shit I cant read the manga in the right line I end up spoiling myself when I got from page 4-8 cause of this shitty site

Good thing Anakriss puts it up on Tapastic first then.

Correction: She only puts it on Tapastic nowadays.

They best stop before having sex. Everyone knows, if you have sex in a zombie-infested setting, you are very next to die.

Hmmm, AFAIK the classic formula is that a woman who has sex in a horror movie dies first. However, if two women do it with each other, the system kind of breaks down, as it is no longer clear who of them should die first. Following this train of thought, it may be possible for them to deadlock the system and turn on the god mode for the rest of the story.

Your method might be subverted by killing both simultaneously(perhaps while they're getting redressed). Now, if the killer won't interrupt a couple in the act...

This subversion is a trick of perception, however, as general relativity teaches us that true simultaneity does not exist in nature, ergo one of them would die first in at least one reference frame. However, since which one specifically is not defined (see above), it would create a space-time paradox, which will resolve itself into both of them surviving in all reference frames.

Thus, under the premises of general relativity, we conclude that yuri >> zombie apocalypse, q.e.d.

GLORIOUS chapter. Mochi is the trope subverter we've all been waiting for.

Just as I promised y'all a couple pages back. ;-)

As a nerd who spent 10 years in the IT industry and academia before somehow ending up attending an arts school, I can relate to Miwa's fascination with the acting troupe. It's like, what even are these strange humanoid creatures -- they're so far out of my comfort zone, they loop right around and land smack in the middle of it again.

To all the readers worried about the story going along the cliche path: it's all a setup for the most glorious cliche turnabout in recent history, just wait for it.

@Mods: Hope that's not too spoilery, I just wanted to encourage people to keep reading. :-)

Thanks for the update. :-)

Great chapter. As we predicted, Mio isn't as perfect as Touko remembers. Tomoyuki's remark that Touko and her sister are nothing alike is a hard hit for her alright.

He did drop some serious reality on the poor girl. Now she gets a taste of severe cognitive dissonance... though I am pretty sure she is young enough to deal with it. The only question is where she goes from here.

Is this a PC game or PSP?

All official Nanoha games are PSP-exclusives. The trailer is for a movie, though, which comes out in July.

Yay! Realistic, consensual and mature insect yuri! Hopefully, the author makes this with love and care.

Lol "insect yuri"

Well... aren't humans technically insects?

Maybe that's why Kasumi from the author's other manga is into collecting (yuri) insects? >__>

...uh, spoiler alert. >__<

For the record, every new character except Iris and Amitie and Kyrie's mom has been featured in The Gears of Destiny PSP game.

"You're an adult. You have to get the hang of your little gay heart sometime."
"Sorry about this, but I've got something I need you to carry. Could I trouble you to make sure this thing manages to make her way home?"

I just freaking love these lines, great stuff.

This manga actually has some amazingly written dialogue (not sure whether that praise goes to the original Japanese author, the translators, or both). It's funny to see some folks ditch the manga over its art when its dialogue is so uniquely entertaining.

Mochida confirmed surprisingly savage, awesome

Mochida is rapidly becoming my favorite character in this story.

Mizuki/Moe: Kinda sweet actually.

The most mature couple in this manga, natch. ^^ Their relationship is so far along, it cannot fit into any standardized coloring scheme -- and they are secure enough in it to not care about conventions and how anyone else might interpret their forms of affection for each other.

The song that plays over it is somehow very early-2000s... It reminded me of Noir's ED, for some reason.

Thank you.

To be honest, reading this chapter the first time I thought it was utmost crap. Reading it a second time I'm still not very impressed by this. I mean, it's a good view on a mobile game company but the rest is pretty "meh". MC walks the first time to her new job - CUT - works already half a year there - CUT - kiss. Hardly any character introduction or interaction at all. It's all about games and then suddenly a kiss without any romantic mood whatsoever? Pretty rushed first chapter and the author's bad at creating moods ore some kind of story "flow". Feels like the marry in the 2nd chapter and die of old age in the 3rd...

My sentiments exactly.

I like to think of it as a meta joke: mobile/casual yuri. At least they're not trying to sting us for microtransactions.

Thank Madokami the scanlators aren't paywalling this or anything like that.

No Day 1 DLC, either... Looking good so far.

They're going to the hospital because he grabbed her wrist? What a waste of time.

Hospital care in Korea is extremely affordable and efficient. People go in for minor issues like colds all the time.

Also, wrists have a pretty complicated bone structure, so unless your arm muscles are developed enough, it's rather easy to dislocate them. Jang-Mi doesn't look like she does much weight-lifting, so checking up with a doctor is not a bad idea.

Alright let's not just speed past that the hamsters name is rations lmfao

Sakurazuki is probably an Excel Saga fan. ;-)

I mean suddenly bursting into tears? Ugh, and the sudden kiss. Sure, maybe the next chapter would go more in depth.

The kiss was indeed sudden, but bursting into tears was actually very relatable to me. When you work really hard on something and then suddenly get the plug pulled on it, it's basically a mini-death in the family: you may act tough and rationalize it, but deep inside, you are hurting real bad, and it only takes a single sympathetic face for it to burst out. I bet anyone who had this happen to them can relate, actually.

I do like Mochida though hahaha!
She acts like a mom (self proclaimed 'Everyone's mom') and has her own objectives like getting Sakurazuki and Kagagi together because both are too dense.
Freakin multi-tasker: works, matchmaker, checks on people, makes them coffee, and gives advice.

An office with a Mochida in it is a lucky one, indeed.

Having fun reading it, got to the end of the chapter and-- What dishonour is this?

I hope she just says screw it to the Agrippina school and founds her own dojo to train with people who actually keep their word. But then again, this is Japan, where social conformity beats everything, and heroic characters must join existing institutions to remain so. :-(

In my (admittedly limited) experience, when a manga character speaks with slang in the translation, it's usually an attempt to show that the character was depicted with either an accent in the original manga, or a very casual style of speech.

AFAIK it is very often used to represent the characters speaking Kansai dialect in the original Japanese, which has a number of stereotypes associated with it:

Well, that sure was sudden. :-/ I guess the series didn't quite make it to College, after all...

To be fair, a college arc would probably involve some other clichéd obstacle like angry parents or struggling to find time with each other (or Yamada trying to come to terms with Kase's piss fetish)

You say that like those are bad things. >__>

When you open the manga's page, there should be a list-like symbol on the top-right corner of the screen, just to the left of where your user name is displayed. If you click on that symbol, a drop-down menu will pop up, in which you can add this manga to any of your lists.

This is the nerdiest pun I've seen so far on this forum. You win, good person on the internet. :D

It's Dark Souls PvP, only real life and with school girl yuri

Not enough giant armor and chaos claymores, though.
