So perfect you guys can switch gears now to concentrate on My girlfriend? It is now chapter 9. Semel is now on hiatus. Sensei got sick. This is the conclusion that Sensei and the editorial staff have decided. Sensei's healthy is now the priority. No time table is given, but once Sensei is recovered, Semelparous will run again.

Oh no, Sensei has gotten very sick. At least since the beginning of the year. After meeting with the editorial staff, it was decided that the series should be suspended until Sensei recovers. Oh, yes, sensei is still active on twitter. But twittering and re-twittering, One can still do it while being sick. Drawing, no. For the record, the last chapter is chapter 18, that is issue 3 of 2022, issued at January 18.

It has been almost 6 months without a translation, so I will post a somewhat, kind of, spoiler; just in case some of you are unable to catchup, may as well purchase the RAW just to get a general feel of what is going on. Chapter 9 title is "Empty happiness".

Wow

Fuuko really becomes the sugar mama of Yuni. Matching skirt, Matching ear piercing, matching top, even matching hairstyle (double bun) They really have a date....? Fuuko now has Yuni wrap around her fingers. Yuni also starting to fall in love with Fuuko (full blown NTR now?). For the first time Yuni apologizes to Fuuko, while does not know that Fuuko is playing mind games. The two of them got caught kissing by Yuki, of all people, who is Nanase's best friend (and the only person that Nanase told about she has a girlfriend) while in Osaka. But somehow Yuki cannot recognize them.

Maybe after a few more chapters I will want to buy the tankoubon. I just like a screwed up romance that is not a tragedy.

Like mothers, like daughter? I wonder how Sarasa learned BDSM. Maybe seeing her mom by accident?

It took me a little while to realize, through style, that this is by Kashikaze.

Rin finally has the backbone to get over that abandonment issue when her mother left, unlike her dad who probably would gotten over. She finally trust herself enough to trust others, mot importantly Momoka. Granted there is some toxicity at the end (possessiveness and jealousy for example), but those are good toxicity, with the aim to bypass the problem she has so that she can finally completely devote herself to Momoka.

As far Momoka, she finally can trust Rin not just because of the house date, but rather earlier, when Rin completely ignored her social circle and popularity to be with her. The house date is actually the first sign that the relationship has changed.
The manga with the closest plot will be Netsuzou Trap.

Why is every girl in this manga so good?
They need to all live in one big house together, doing their brothel thing and just being with each other.
That is the only solution.

Also, I guess when you go to a lesbian brothel so often, I guess every intimate interaction you have with other women > > turns into something brothel-like.

I think Asumin's future will be owning a Brothel. She will be too good not to do so. It does not seem like her future will be going to University.

Still no sign of Mai since she got sick. This is frustrating since the entire plot is all about Asumin looking for her.. Don't tell me the next time we see Mai it will be the final chapter.

Well, I went ahead and got the rest of the volume as directed by knight heron. I seldom if ever do that. I will not put in any spoiler of course, after all, you can go to the same site which knight heron directed. Heck half of you also have read the whole thing already form Rent! so there is not much to add. I will try to write this assuming you are still on chapter 2.

There is the usual fluff and wholesomeness. But I found it very rare that we have a soon to be mid 30s MC in an OL Yuri. Usually the age is 26 to 29. This is the first one that I read with a over 30 MC. 33 to be exact. Also a age gap, with the elder being 33 and younger at 23, that's more of a yaoi type plot (Manager sexually harassing new employee, you know, young, fun and full of c...) but maybe I am wrong. When I was 33, I was similar to Shiina, head of my department as manager, and also the one to go to the client site to meet with the client, with or without an underling. So in a way it did bring up some smiles to me at the end of Ch2.

I was a little disappointed at the end because clearly the manga can produce up to 5 volumes. At the very end of Ch6 the MC became a couple in a hurry, 5 pages, then we have an epilogue. It feels like someone has decided to axe it, because usually the fun and challenging part of writing the manga if the MCs are already together early on, you can create many plots, such as a potential rival, meeting exes, domestic arguments or fight. then there is the work vs love life struggle plot (which is actually the central theme of this manga), and of course compare with the traditional heterosexual marriage (marrying a female co-worker, then she retired and have kids), a homosexual couple situation is a totally different ball game. Also, since this manga clearly states the truth about the legal status of same sex marriages and consequences, there are a lot of plots that can utilize that as a major theme. One can easily write a full chapter for a same sex couple hunting for an apartment and was always getting a no from landlords. These things are of course real, and I am sure all of you already know that. Writing happily ever after at the end is nice. But writing happily ever after at the beginning is more interesting. Vampire After The Doomsday started with all four MCs were already paired up at the very beginning. Vampire chan x junior chan has the two MCs also paired up soon after the manga started, and it is very challenging since the mangaka has already set it up also at the beginning that the two MC will die within a year...in an case, this manga has the potential, I wish it were to continue for maybe at least a couple of volumes won't hurt.

I am now confident that I will be looking forward to read a OL Yuri that has a 40 and a 20 years old MC. After all, that is my age group. :)

Sometimes it is hard to digest this one, but i did enjoy it. The final chapter is perfect (wholesome?) Not going to complain.

Something is wrong. Dynasty scan shows that Chapter 20 is from Galette 22. But Galette 22 is not out yet. Galette 21 is barely out, and indeed Chapter 20 is printed on Galette 21. Incidentally, Galette 21 celebrates her 5 year anniversary. What an achievement
Needless to say I do have Galette 21 myself.

Thanks for uploading/ I would not classified this as a Yaoi.YET. If this is an outright yaoi, then this is the worst yaoi that I have ever read. Both MCs are annoying as hell. They are not convincing at all whatsoever.

So he drew this one a couple days ago, and put it in his twitter. He explained that this is a gift to GX readers. I think it is OK to post the link here, since anything you post in twitter is automatically public and free. Well, I guess I am eligible before getting the real thing? I am a GX subscriber, and I do not live in Japan...
I would encourage you to subscribe GX, search around and you may be able to order it somewhere. It is not that hard, as long as you have a rudimentary understanding spoken or/and read Japanese so that you know how to order. Subscribing only the E version such as kindle is not ideal, because you will not have all the goodies.

I just hope that Ichika will not give up on being a Lilu. It sounds like she has already given up. It probably will take Maoa to help her out, even though Ichika has doubt about Maoa's ability. Aria seems to be neutral about it, but you do sense that she was hoping Ichika would give it a try, otherwise Aria would not bring up this topic in the first place. This is because Maoa took care of the dead ghost, hence there is still a chance. Ichika does not totally trust Maoa ability though. But if she does try, then she knows Maoa will be there to make sure everything is ok. It is definitely a bet, but she has a better odds than most people.
Ichika is care free. She is a good listener and nothing really bother her. Now that she knows Aria is 4000 years old, she would not be surprised that Aria has an encounter with a Roman Emperor. She just does not freak out about Aria's past. That nonchalant attitude is what Aria likes about her. The final panel is super sweet. They need some private time.
We do not know if all the new lilu has to meet Aria in a Isakei desert. If Ichika decides to be a lilu, then she does not need to worry about meeting Aria, because unless something unusual happens, Aria definitely will let Ichika pass through, after all Ichika is Aria's own girlfriend. Also, twirling eyes do not work on Ichika.
Without being an immortal, Ichika will always be a weak link with her peers. She is the only known person who can administer humane assistance suicide. If Ghika gets the sword, she definitely will kill Aria and make her suffer. Aria betrayed her even though we do not know the story. Needless to say, as Arthur explained, Ghika will conduct mass murders again once she has the sword.
Aria of course would not let Ghika kill her. To be killed by your own progeny (vampiric daughter) is really embarrassing and a taboo.

I give up. It does not even have plots anymore. I am still following it only because I subscribed Yurihime and of course this manga serialization comes with it. If this new chapter were to be drawn after the incident which Sora's mom and Sora made a pact. Go to Hokkaido after graduation with mom paying University tuition; or Sora is on her own. You would not have noticed that a dozen chapters has passed by. Fluff...

They come out usually on 19th, but sometimes 18th. You have to go to Sunday G-X to check. Sunday G-X right now confirmed that the next issue will be out on April 19th. (thus May 2022 issue).
33.5 is February. 34 is March 19th (already out for a week by now). 35 in April 19th (he has just turned in this chapter to the editor on March 13th). Notice vol 7 is coming out on April 19th.
On his webpage, you can find out he has turned in a new chapter. Issue number is always one month ahead of the actual date. So an April issue will be out on March 18 or 19.
