It's probably because the mangaka is working on Ayakashiko now

Except manga is finished since 2013.

"Effects include rapid heart beat, flushed skin... , intense sexual pleasure, vivid (and often controllable) daydreams (known as nutmeg phantasies), finding everything funny, inability to walk (particularly if taken at bed time the night prior),... , general giddiness, empathy and/or shift in perspective."

This relationship seems like a nutmeg waiting to be eaten; their friendship's mellow at the moment, based on the foundation being note-sharing. I think the romantic side will burst intensely in a short time; they don't seem like people who fluff around. If it doesn't I'll retract my statement.

I see. I was confused why it is named nutmeg because it didn't seem to have any connection to plot or characters and I wasn't aware of any meanings of nutmeg that could fit. If that ends up being correct it would be pretty cool. As a bonus thing, title in japanese is "natsumegu" so if Natsume ends up being nutmeg it would mean Otsu named her like that on purpose.

I've seen Yuri as a name before - (seems to be gender neutral?) but never Yuuri? Is it the same name just romanised differently for some reason? If not anyone know the Kanji / meaning?

It is 2 different names. In japanese prolonging sounds is very important and can often completely change the meaning of the word, that is why I dislike when a lot of translations simple remove 1 letter assuming reader won't know how to read it or something. Both are inherently female names, but indeed some male characters are named like that as well (and are often mocked because of it or it leads to some misunderstandings). Can't say anything about meaning because it is written with kana so we don't know which kanji are used.

And 'Nutmeg', it's fitting IMO.

Why?

Technically it means "lolita" but rest is pretty much right.

That's the origin, but loli doesn't really have the same implications that lolita does. Loan words rarely have the same meaning as the word in the original language, especially in Japan.

True, but still the lolicon is just as shortcut for word lolita complex which they adapted with original meaning of a person that is into little girls aka lolitas. Sure now they probably have different connotation with word loli, but it is still a shortcut of world lolita. And for the most part it still works with original meaning, as a kind of girl someone with lolita complex would aim for.

How does that help you? you're not going to read it again anyway

They are protecting poor fictional characters.

That's not gay, that's just being a cat lover.

If you say so, though I can't see how petting a pussy is not gay, but there is clear subtext between snow girl and fox girl.

There is subtext on snow girl's part, sure. I think the fox girl just likes to randomly tease people because she enjoys seeing the reactions. I don't think there's anything deeper on her side at the moment.

She gives her icecreams to snow girl once she drops hers and others even comment it was unusually nice of her.

No but honestly I absolutely love this series but I don't know how you're reading even the slightest element of yuri into it.

Unlike the author's previous series, which had some pretty heavy undertones, there's not even a hint of anything even remotely romantic here.

You wut me mate?

They did. They dropped it because it was licensed.

YP dropped it, but 4s has been translating Yagate ever since ihoshiku disappeared (before YP even picked it up iirc), so it didn't really matter tbh (I remember seeing the chapters 6-8 ish on other reader sites)

I was talking about Murcielago though.

Faust posted:

No i mean, does it get licensed just like Murcielago?

Yeah, it's been licensed since Feb 2016, 2 volumes have been released in English so far.

Ah dang it!

Why?
Scanlations haven't stopped lol

They did. They dropped it because it was licensed.

EDIT/ Nvm the group that was tl'ing it until now dropped it, but I didn't see /u/ picked it up after it.

My intent was mainly to show the two characters in a positive light, and also to show that a BDSM relationship can be warm and loving.

Nah, I got it and you did a good job to convey it. My only issue, if you can call it a issue, is that it feels like it is just a beginning to the story you want to tell.

Seems like Yuri Butterfly Effect, but she can't control or doesn't know what triggers the jump into future/past. I think it might be linked to her thinking about future (maybe past) and the way she wants it to turn out or something.

It is probably just me, but I have very mixed feelings about it. I like the idea but either it is too short or too long. Like I get the joke, but because set up for it is so long and then once she sniffs and we know where it will go, we have entire conversation before the "punch line" lands and then they still talk some more, it feels a bit dragged on and feels like it would work better as quick, few panels joke. The way it is right now it feels like a set up to serious bdsm story which then suddenly turns into more light hearted one and either forsake the bdsm theme entirely or continue it with more playful tone. Basically it feels more like first few pages of doujin with rest of them missing, which puts bummer on reader (me), because I want it to continue. Take it as you will.

BTW. "I just drank coffee" will become best quote ever xD

Hence "alleged".

Changing boyfriends often isn't alleged though.

Being a slut (having sex with all her boyfriends) is. It is also possible, and I think it is the case, she dates a lot because she seeks love, but she is the one getting dumped and there is a chance one of reasons is exactly her not wanting to sleep with them just like that.

Nezchan posted:

I think the question here isn't what the readers think of alleged promiscuity (or even actual) so much as what the writer wants to communicate to the audience using that. What do they think of promiscuity? What do they believe their audience thinks of it? That's the real question.

I honestly think they didn't think at all about it because almost all popular characters in manga are automatically considered a player who sleeps around and is not serious about their relationship w/e there are rumors or not and w/e it is true or not. Calling a character slut based on few evidence is such cliche in manga I don't even pay attention when it is used, since most of the time it turns out to not be true and if it is, then manga makes it clear pretty fast. So it is so funny that it is the only thing most of people here can think about reading that chapter. Manga characters are just jelly by default and likes to badmouth people who are more popular than them. Good image and making sure there are no bad rumors about you is usually a important part of stories, cos people gossip all the time and especially Japanese pay a lot attention to it because of their culture.

We really still don't know anything, but I feel like somehow Nikaidou is broken. She was with so many people and everyone dumped her, she is scarred. I feel like she jumped on Kurumi, because she hoped her feelings for her are genuine and will last. She is willing to devote 100% to Kurumi as long as she will truly love her, but she herself don't believe in love anymore. The last scene shows she is not ok after this or all break ups and she is holding all those dark feelings inside her. I believe the story stopped with Kurumi angst and instead will focus on how Nikaidou is pushing herself and Kurumi is the one that needs to reach to her and heal her wounds. At least that is the kind of feeling this chapter gave me.

EDIT/ It gives me very similar vibe to Fragtime with Nikaidou being similar to Murakami.

Alright guys, I'm posting this becuz I kinda like the pairing. Just don't get your hopes up!

There you go:

DBZ is not a romance manga. There will never be yuri there, so there is no point shipping.

They are, because it is not yuri.

I just read your post and did a little research. It's a soccer term that is used in a few other sports. In English, a nutmeg is when a person passes the ball (or puck) through the opposing team members legs to be received by your own team member. Your own team has to retain possession. Hope it means something to you for the story.

At this point in story, it doesn't really, but thanks for trying ;3

Thank you for translating an Otsu Hiyori story.

My pleasure ;3

I know what you wrote, what baffles me is how you arrived at that conclusion in the first place. Or that you arrived at it at all, actually. You either have a lot more experience than me to reach that conclusion, since my experiences don't support your statement, or you're speaking from your own bias on the matter.
And also it remains in the open if keeping your panties on on the first date is a bad or a good thing.

Really? Every person I have ever seen just make out with people they just met on the dance floor tend to be the ones hooking up in the bathroom later that night.

Did you stalk all of them to be so sure?

That's why I said IF, it's only the first chapter so that's all I have to go from. Also, anyone that kisses at the confession isn't going to keep her panties locked shut on the first date.

Yea, because MC didn't see her all depressed after break up or something. There was no hint she is actually deeper character than she looks.

Regarding involvement of sperm-donor:
It's all personal-preference, yo'!
The couple involved in the manga would prefer the donor to be someone they know, so they break-down why at is and what would be ideal for them.
If someone wants the donor to be entirely anonymous and never involved? That's kewl, too! Just gotta preach the acceptance of individual preference. ^ ^

The thing is it's not only a personal preference but it also has big influence on the child upbringing. As was mentioned already sperm-donor being involved more than just donating sperm is already pretty alarming with all the messages it sends, but to me what is the most annoying about it, is that it suggest 2 lesbians can't be good parents, and in order to rise a functional, normal kid, you have to have man around as well. Honestly to me, involving him will only make things more complicated for child to understand, than if they simply had 2 mothers. So I have a father but he is not my father, but he still is my father, but he doesn't live with us, but he sometimes come to visit? I can imagine it messing kid more than having gay parents.
