I don't have to provide a list. If "I'm going to say I'm normal to not scare my love interest" doesn't ring a bell you have not read enough yuri or you are a zealot and I have no further business with you.

Also, putting pretty drawings on top of a previous story doesn't change a thing. If you haven't figured out how this industry works maybe you're still in the discovering phase and it is really hard to have an adult conversation.

I'm out.

I gave you examples and you didn't acknowledge any of them. Why should I worry? Anything tagged "Aaaangst" have a really high chance to portrait just that.

Never said that Schoolgirl yuri is bad writing, what I said is that if you're going to put additional value to it you shouldn't even bother.

They weren't coworkers and schoolgirls at the same time too. So different. Absolutely not the same thing.

Husky and Medley is based on a 2chan story. Same way Marimite is a light novel. Putting pretty drawings on top doesn't stop them from having a different origin and serving different purposes.

Yeah, it's called a red herring and it was used as a device for Hana to figure out her own feelings while also setting up an unusual situation.

In such an unusual and original fashion.

I can try to find the one one shot I can think of that uses a similar situation, but to say that it covers 90% of yuri development is just a blatant lie.

Schoolgirl + Schoolgirl = 90% covered
In the case of MM Schoolgirl + Schoolgirl = 99.9%

You can start there.

I don't remember Milk using a similar situation in any of her other series, please which one does the MC gets her hopes up that her romantic interest is interested in women only for it to be shot down? Should not be hard to name it.

Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom / This Love From I Can't Remember When
In Girlfriends there is a whole het arc based on this premise.
In Secret of the Princess the whole story is based on this.
In The Secret Recipe there is an "I'm normal" arc.

Oh, yes, because everyone knows that art style is indicative of how realistic the situation is./s

Anyone with common sense. Yeah.

Apparently you don't understand because you think that Hina should just come right on out after a misunderstanding. Because an old friend who jokes about being her ex showed up she should all the sudden announce her love to Hana and live happy ever after. Now that would actually be bad writing.

You're saying this as if the author had nothing to do with the setup to begin with. The development comes right out of the author's script. The old friend situation came right out of her hand.

You can talk about using the same keynotes or tropes all you want but if you can't pin point a list of manga where a girl got her hopes up about dating someone who she thought was into women only to be indirectly shot down due to her anxiety of society's homophobia then maybe you might have a point.

Why a list?, you can make a really simple diagram and cover 90% of yuri development in manga. If you had been around as long as me you should know this by now.

You're just complaining because this is another manga that takes a realistic look at how gay teenagers in Japan would come out of the closet. Turns out it's a tough thing to do and requires a lot of denial when others come close to discovering the truth. Other than supposedly following old tropes like you claim how is this bad writing?

If you think that any manga with moe art is a realistic look at anything you're beyond help.

Woah, woah. Hold your horses.

I do understand people having a hard time confessing to someone else being gay or het. What I don't understand is why every story has to pull the same keynotes. It's like the Canon by Pachelbel of yuri. Aren't you even a bit baffled that something supposedly out of the ordinary always develop in the same way? It's like watching the ninth reboot of Spiderman.

Oneshots are that, oneshots. You don't have to wait for months to find out that the story didn't develop an inch or in fact it went back to square one and all this while you fear the author pulling the same old yuri tropes again and again.

This has nothing to do with not understanding the degree of homophobia in Japan or anywhere else. It has to do with the quality of the media being discussed. If you think that yuri should get a free pass whatever the quality just because it is somewhat gay maybe it is you who should check your privilege.

After 13 chapters, hearing the same complaints every time gets kind of old... =A=

You said it.

As old as her plots and development?

It is fine if you like the same yuri story all over and over and over again with different art. Because now really, she barely moved past changing the hairstyle of one of the main characters.

I like this move two steps forward one back in my yuri.

Not.

This is plain bad writing. Other authors achieve more in a oneshot than Milk in a Series. I would understand if it was interesting or original but now that's just pulling her reputation around.

Now she just have to pull a "didn't take your confession seriously/some other bull", "I got a boyfriend because I'm normal too", "fast forward 10 years" or something like that. Another 12 chapters of nothing easy.

Blood donations are not going to help these people. It takes weeks until it is fully checked and ready to be used.

Replenishing stocks depleted by this event is still a worthy goal, and indirectly means they don't have to hold any back in case there's another event/emergency.

Blood donations must be constant and in a sufficient quantity. These kind of donations are worthless if those donators are not going back to donate regularly.

And I don't want to argue here but they should be told exactly that. "Be sure to come back to donate whenever you can because you're not helping at all. Thank you very much anyway."

What a piece of crappy art.

Stop reading manga's please. I mean the art is damn good i don't know how someone can't like it.

Go and get some service on your standards please.

I praised several amateur works when I think they deserve it and I usually pass on complaining about bad works but this is so bad that I had to post.

If you don't want to read criticism skip forums altogether.

Why do half of the pages seem pixelated as hell?

Yep, don't hold your breath for the next chapter either. It will take them 6 or 7 years to complete it looking at how quick they are with Virgin's Empire (or anything else, really).

If you have a problem with it then you could always find a way to help yourself you know.

I've been part of an anime sub group in the past and I wouldn't help a yuri scanlation group in a million years. It would be the single worst thing I could do to my health.

I'm really proficient at editing (image edition, video edition, encoding) but not releasing a single thing for months is a deal breaker.

I'm fine checking this place once a day to find nothing or some crappy release, I just assumed that we can't have nice things.

These schoolgirl themed mangas are so frigging boring.

This reader has lost its north.

I'm fine with Teppu and other wonderful mangas hosted here but this is beyond retarded.

I think you all are going nuts over nothing.

Saving the astronomical distances this manga is pretty much like Evangelion. All the characters are broken in some way. The only problem is that the target audience isn't getting what it is looking for or a pleasing surprise in other aspects of the work.

Remi is a bitch, Sacchan is a selfish barbie, Ruki is a punch bag, Fue a frigid deadpan, Asuna a sex addict, Meru a braindead mess and Masaa a walking porcupine dilemma.

None of the couples is made for each other.

That moment when you realize that there are 88 chapters out and Kawaii-scans can't keep up the pace of a sick artist.

I really hope some other group picks this up.

The art was gorgeous. I mean it. It kept me from getting to the next page way too often.

Too bad this isn't an original doujin but the story was cute too.
