I kept expecting someone they know showing up during their date

Date isn't finished yet :>

and P'mew sayin she's "just a friend" and hide their relationship.. Or an old ex suddenly showing up, or an angry old lady or a bunch of teenage dudes attacking them..

Next chapter title is: Ex Girlfriend so :3

Next chapter: make-out session in the cabin. (i hope :D)

hot things will happen in the cabin I can assure you :)

Very glad to hear that, looking forward to it :D
Aww man you made me wanna read the next chapter now xD

So sly how she got P'mew naked on their first date~ Yuri kuma approved.

My god, I've been ruined by all this angsty crap I read!

It's a very nice change for once to read yuri that leaves me with a happy satisfied feeling after each chapter, I hope it stays this way! And this was an absolutely great chapter!

Hey I was about to give up on this manga but thus chapter was unexpectedly good! Hope the author will keep chapters like this coming :-)

Pacing is horrible. Development is forced as hell. And Grenade has 1m radius blast?

I'm no expert, but aren't grenades made to spew shrapnel, not explosive force? Even if a person's on the far side of the room, they'd still probably be badly hurt.

You're thinking of fragmentation grenades. I'm thinking this is something more like a concussion grenade meant to kill/immobilize using explosive force alone in a small radius. It's possible for the explosion to propel debris within the room to cause damage, but I've heard if you're low on the ground, it's possible for the debris to not hit you. Someone try this out and report back.

Considering the situation these girls are in, we could even chalk it up to the grenades being slightly modified. I'm no expert though.

Your profile pic really fits here xD

It's a sad day.The story has a great potential, but is toooooo fast paced, i mean,i like the idea of the author trying to give new characters backstories, but if they gonna die after 2 page, what's the point then ?
It's seems to me the author was forced to make it a short manga, but you cant do it with this type story. Feelsbadman

Agreed, after reading the first chapter, I thought it had the potential to be something epic involving yuri and fights and I was really excited but the second chapter made me feel like the author compressed 3 or 4 chapters into one.
Man, I really really hope the next chapter will have better pacing! Maybe Yuri Hime wanted this manga to be an "experiment" and they tried to keep it short on purpose so they could finish it quickly in case the reception is bad?
That or the author just has crappy pacing. Dunno xD

I've been extremely curious about you for a while, as you scanlated so many things practically on your own.
Are you fluent in Japanese? Where are you from? What made you start doing this? You mentioned that you were curious about this present series but not enough to take the effort to read it in Japanese, so does reading Japanese take a lot of effort for you? Does it take you a lot of time to scanlate?

Answering in order, I am not fluent in Japanese, I did study Japanese in college for a few years, but my actual reading vocabulary is on the small side, but that's what online dictionaries are for. Plus I've purchased close to a dozen dictionaries and language references over the years. I am from Kansas in the USA.

I started doing this simply because I had purchased "Her World" in Japanese and I wanted to be able to read it in English. (It was even harder for me to read Japanese at that time.) I translated about the first half and kept playing with the idea of producing a scanlation. Then I had the chance to get a copy of some old software that could handle the editing, and started experimenting with a different chapter and eventually released it through Dynasty. Some here will remember that fiasco. WeatheredPeach gave me a lot of help on improving my editing, and over time I like to believe I've improved my translations.

Yes it is difficult for me to sit down and read Japanese. In addition to having a relatively small reading vocabulary, it takes more attention and focus to read much of what I do have than with English.With most manga if I give it that focus, I'll get a pretty fair idea of most of what's going on, but unless I take the time to look things up I'll miss a lot. The most effective way for me to read Japanese thoroughly is to transcribe what I don't immediately understand into the computer and then use computer resources. I have a program call rikaikun that will give me definitions of Japanese words just by doing a mouse over, so the only time I spend much time with a word is if rikaikun doesn't know it or if it's definition is suspect. And my reading vocabulary is slowly growing.

Yes it takes time to scanlate. I consider it my hobby. It takes a lot of time for most people to scanlate. I don't know how I compare to others, but I know I take less than half the time I used to, and that's still improving. And of course it depends heavily on the material I'm doing. Some pages it can take a long time just to do the editing, say there's a complex redraw I can't get out of, or there is a large quantity of highly varied lettering, or the page was damaged for some reason and has to be repaired. Other times it may take some time to figure out complex sentences. My usual method is to take each page and do any redraws needed, clean it, translate it and letter it in that order, then go on to the next page. Sometimes translating it really is as simple as just looking at it and reading it. Once I've done the whole chapter, I go back over the translation in detail to work out any problems, find any errors and polish the translation. Then I usually get help to QC it. The fastest I've ever done a page is 8 minutes. the slowest, even after throwing out when I was first starting... Well there was a reason for the four month gap in releases when I was working on chapter two of Secret of the Princess. A few pages had taken me over 3 hours each, and I got discouraged and stopped working on it for quite a while. That was because of redraws, a lot of text, and I didn't have either rikaikun or an OCR program then; it takes time to look up Kanji in a physical dictionary, especially when you haven't yet learned how most of the radicals are used. When I finally got back to it, most pages went quite a bit faster, so it wasn't as bad as I thought. And as I said, I think I'm at least twice as fast now as I was then, in part because of making better use of computer resources.

Ah! A wall of text; sorry to talk your ear off.

Edit: And off topic besides. Sorry Nezchan.

Wow, sounds like a lot of work you put into your hobby :-)
I feel your pain, I took Japanese in high school and a course in college, but I still feel like my vocabulary is shit and it takes forever to translate even the smallest things and it can get quite frustrating.. I went through it translating the first episode of a drama I desperately wanted to see, it took me pretty much a week and a half..
But thank god for Rikaikun and Denshi Jisho for all these messed up non-JLPT kanji I have no clue how to read lol..

Whew I'm rambling xD What I actually wanted to say was that I'm grateful to people like you who invest so much of their free time scanlating yuri manga, because without you, ... well I wouldn't have my regular dose of yuri and that would suck xD
You da real MVP. :D

This one reminds me of a really similar KyouSaya doujin, forgot what it's called.....Anyway, this was super adorable.

Kiss me Baby? Yeah Kyouko trying to get knocked up by Sayaka or vice versa seems to be a reoccurring theme... but when will it actually happen?

Well, not sure I'd want to read that sort of futanari.. ^^'
Science babies are cool though.

And the price for best "dignified friend who looks after their friends but ends up forever alone herself" goes to.. Mami! :D
She needs some love too, I'm off to read some Mami x Office Lady.

She may not have a lover, but in ten years she'll be the cool, rich single aunt living traveling europe while the rest are married and busy :P

Sounds fun! Or she could.. Hm I dunno, lose her mind and kill Kyouko again? She hasn't died in a while xD

Glad to see Yuri Hime is starting to publish a different kind of stories. I do like fluffy yuri in a school setting, but it can get redundant and boring if you read too much of it.
So.. A cool transfer student, lesbians and lots of violence? Hell yeah, I'm im! :D

I'm so excited about this.
Like yeah, the battle to the death genre has been done before, but at this point it's not even a valid reason to not read something, that its genre has been explored before, because you can use that excuse for anything.
Like yes, survival games are not as uncommon anymore, but survival games with YURI?
It shows that times are changing, and that yuri can be present in more than just planed out romance in highschool tales, that like het romance, can have their place in any kinds of plot.

I'll repeat, yes it's a fight to the death.
BUT IT HAS YURI.
IT may be a theme already explored in quite a few other manga, but did those have YURI?
NOPE.
I really wanna see yuri in more kinds of plots than the typical highschool romance, excited to see this pan out.

Yes, that's exactly what I want! Let's be honest, so far we haven't had much choice, but yuri as the main and sole genre for a story gets kind of boring after a while. I would much rather see all kinds of stories where yuri is just present, just like het romance is often present as a side plot in most stories. And gay panic and angst is just.. Overdone.
So far, yuri manga writers have been kind of unimaginative IMO, but now that the genre is a bit more established (and I think you can say it is by now..), I would like to see some development beyond the standard plots..
What I really would like to see are more "dark-themed"/ mature manga with yuri in it... :D

JUST TAKE ALL MY TEARS DAMMIT

Eh, not like they actually ended up parting

that's not the point though... it just has a lot of implications

also anything can happen in the 4th movie.

Eh, there's gonna be a 4th movie? I thought the announcement for "Atonement" was just a (well-orchestrated..) April Fool's joke?

You seriously don't think Rebellion is the end of the series do you? April Fools prank or not it's not going to end there.

Trust me, I'm the first to hope for a new Madoka movie but then again there's many series with an ending that makes me wish for a sequel which never get one..
Then again their April Fool's joke got a lot of positive critics and the premise of Homura and Madoka being enemies sounds pretty cool to me. Also, why would they bother animating new scenes just for a joke if they knew they weren't going to continue the series?

We have no confirmed continuation to the series, but if Urobuchi and Akiyuki's krew at Shaft butted heads about one, it'd be amazing and make sense. There's enough possible material for a true finale, as well as the fanhood and financial support to convince management it'd be a smart decision. Shaft hasn't announced their next project after Nisekoi:, so who knows what they'll be doing next.

But if they don't ever continue it, that'd be fine and okay as well. If they do continue it, we can expect a lot more yuri canonization if anything, because Shaft has proved on multiple occasions that they're on our side (Negima, Hanamonogatari, Sasami@, Koufuku Graffiti

I hope you're right. Now that you mention it, that's a lot of shows with yuri-ish content, I wasn't even aware Shaft was the one who made these shows.. Yes I must be living under a rock xD

Pretty much everything I generally want from a yuri. Older characters. Nice art. Likable characters. Mostly believable story. No love triangles or at least short lived ones.
Would they really be able to keep their feelings from each other for a decade though?

Well some people keep their feelings from each other forever, especially when you're not sure if the other girl is also gay or not... F*ck my gaydar, I guess I must have been away on vacation when they distributed them xD

Another case of weird proportions.

Including the incredibly flexibility and adaptable length of the deodorant can. xD

Must be Axe deodorant. Special "I was helping my cute underage neighbour practice her dancing when I got horny and had to ravage her with my deodorant during lesbian outdoors sex" edition :D

I find this manga adorable and super cute, I love how it has a natural and calm yet comfy pace

I agree, it has something calming and I appreciate the fact that even though she knows the pres is in love with her, she doesn't freak out or start avoiding her or something like that.. Feels more realistic and relatable that way in my opinion.
I don't mind the occasional angsty moment, but I feel like There has been A LOT of angst-filled yuri lately so this is a pretty welcome change :-)

Nice to see that this is still being translated, I completely forgot about this series!
I hope that we will get to see some progress in their relationship next chapter now that the vindictive ex is out of the way. XD

Or... We could add some unneccessary angst by introducing a transfer student or some cousin who blackmails sensei into sex with some random dude.. Wait, wrong manga.

kinda cute

Yeah, it was totally adorable how she stole her panties, used them to masturbate while drenching them in her own cum, then sucked her boobs on the toilet and fucked her in a storage room filled with the stench of sweat. Absolutely cute xD
