So awesome that this exists! That said,

1. Where can we buy it?

2. I also wish it had been during/after their college years. The end was a bit unfulfilling as-is - we never got to see Akko at all, never got to see them come out to friends or family, never got to see the life they were working toward together. If this one-shot does well maybe she'll pick up those threads too?!

This is absolutely ridiculous and astoundingly terrible.

... Of course, I'll read it. ;_;

FYI, Sal put out a couple of new pages (of these characters, I believe) with her own English translation on Twitter. They're pretty cute.

But I think I favor "Your master's here! Where's my doggy?" more than "Your husband is here! Where's that mutt?" The first translation has better continuity because the 2d sentence continues the master/pet joke from the 1st sentence, while the other one jumps from Minami being a wife in the 1st sentence to her being a kept animal in the 2d sentence. Not so good.

(Also "my doggy" is cuter than "that mutt".)

Seconded.

What I want to know is what this "Yuri Committee" is.

... What am I looking at here?

The yuri gods are extremely displeased with your ignorance and sentence you to the Gals Being Pals zone forever.

(Also, go out immediately, buy, and then watch "Yurikuma Arashi")

Ugh. On the one hand I like that this is a series with adult women and they often speak frankly about more adult things. On the other, I'm sooooo tired of the manga trope that literally any kind of normal, healthy physical contact that any couple would do is lewd and embarrassing beyond belief. It made sense for a few chapters given the scenario here, but it's worn out its welcome for sure.

I hope we get to meet a yuri fairy who is on the side of dark.... >:3

What I want to know is what this "Yuri Committee" is.

This one hits all the things for me, big thumbs up! I needed a new buff-girls series after the untimely end of "Torako" ;_; And on top of that, adults involved in an actual story?!

... I do agree on the monsters, though. Seems like they've got a lot of 'splainin to do on how they became/why they still are such a problem

Nekozaki in the top panel of p. 38 belongs in my personal Hall of Faces. That's just a fantastic expression, IMO. ><

Maybe just a poor choice of words on your part, but of course free scanlators don't have your interest as a priority. As for Dr.Mario, he has been dealing with some RL stuff for awhile that has impacted his time and ability to work on this. I do agree he should explicitly release the series to be worked on by others, but it's understandable that he might have a hard time letting go, given how much time and effort he's put in that he keeps wishing/hoping he'll be able to return to it.

Anyway, I eventually did hear back from Dr. Mario about a month ago, this is what he told me:

forgive me for answering so late.
I'm working on the next chapter but it might be best to hand it over after that one.
For what it's worth, I did not hear from darui again.
When the new chapter is ready, I will send it over for proofreading if that's still okay with you.

I replied back to let him know what was going on here, that there were interested people to put a new team together if he wanted to hand it off, and that I was ready to proofread when he was done. Haven't heard from him since. So I do hope the Dynasty admins will at some point come up with a rescue/reclaiming process for series in this situation and allow some others of us to keep working on it. I really don't think he'll be able to continue long-term, even if he eventually finishes the next chapter. :/

Pages 3, 16, and 22 all misspell "mighty" as "mightly"

While most people probably wouldn't want their boss catching this on their screen, this doesn't meet the definition of the NSFW tag here... (there's no nudity)

Feels like Ogino-sensei was just giving the censorship laws double middle fingers with this one; I'm not sure you can even call that "minimal."

You say that, but you seem to be the only one who is able to communicate with him at all.

He hasn't contacted or replied to me, his collaborator.

His last post in the Discord is November of last year.

He hasn't posted at all on this thread to indicate his activity or ongoing interest.

All we have to go on is you saying a month ago that he's "working on a chapter."

Well, I emailed DrMario more than a week ago and haven't heard back from him. If you want my opinion as a contributor to the project and someone knowing a little about his situation, I'd consider the series abandoned and welcome putting together a new team with darui and any other interested parties. I'd still be available for translation help / proofreading / editing.

DrMario did amazing work; he had a real dedication to quality in both the visual presentation (font choices, redrawing, and other exacting work on the images) and the nuance of the translation. It's big shoes to fill if he can't continue. But I think absent him being available to at least reaffirm his "claim," there shouldn't be anything stopping a new team forming. There's only been one chapter in nearly a year, with nearly a hundred more in the pipe.

Lotta rumblings here now I see; I haven't heard anything from DrMario in awhile but I'll reach out to him today to see what's up.

No twin x twin? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I definitely side with DYWYPI on this one - trying to shoehorn in English accents in place of Japanese dialects has always been a distractingly bad thing to me. As s/he rightly points out, an accent brings with it a lot more implications than just "different way of speaking than standard." It conjures a whole host of cultural connotations and prejudices (in the neutral dictionary sense of that word). There is never a direct analogue between what a particular speech affectation in Japanese connotes and any English accent. I definitely think it does more harm than good to a character no matter how integral it is to the characterization.

In this particular case I would much rather see her just speak notably more casually/coarsely in standard English during her "dialect times." That alone is enough to communicate effectively enough the dichotomy between her "put-together, type-A overachiever" work personality and her incongruously rough "real" (for lack of a better word) self.

FWIW I won't be reading this translation for the above reasons, but props at least to the translator for giving it this much thought. I just really disagree with the result.

5th omake right after 4th; ch 5 skipped or coming later?

::thumbsup::

I give all the approvals to this spec script preview for season 2. Make it so.

A+, but again too short! Justice for size contrast couples!

At your service!

Weirdly enough, you were so close to another goldmine just above Miss Sunflower in the series listing. Behold, the best size contrast yuri I've yet found:

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/mismatch_girls

Also, this author shows lots of promise in these short series, I agree!

FYI the technical fetish term for it is "size contrast"; super rare in yuri manga for inexplicable reasons, a bit easier to find in JAV, and probably too far off-topic to discuss western erotica derivations.

Always been a "thing" for me too, especially tall Japanese girls. >< As I mentioned above, I could definitely go for a series about these two. There could be reaching for high things, carrying in her arms, hugs where the short partner gets smothered in cleavage, yummy stuff!

"That's it?!"

My sentiments exactly.

9/10 would read again.

I'm feeling kinda called out by the Age-Gap Yuri....

I'm 12 years older, and a full foot taller than my GF (I'm 6'1" she's 5')... Her co-workers thought I was her mom -.-

Just tell people "We're not an 'Age Gap' couple, we're a 'Size Contrast' couple!"
