I redid part of page 4 since the typeset "bad words" text looked pretty bad.

Top!Sakura is something I need more of.

There is a bonus comic for this, but it wasn't translated on Danbooru so I couldn't really typeset it. Plus it was completely unrelated to the main comic, so it wasn't necessary in my opinion. If anyone wants to see it, here it is. There's also the prequel to that one.

Oof, that swerve right at the end was pretty good.

Happy Halloween everyone.

I just noticed that Nemo’s sucking the same fingers that Kuro was. An indirect kiss!?

^They became friends in Fate/Grand Order, due to them remembering the events of Fate/Apocrypha and feeling bad for having to fight each other. They also connected over both being homunculi IIRC.

This artist isn't actually dead, her twitter account is still active - https://twitter.com/nomonosu_kby. Kobeya seems to be mostly making Sailor Moon and Utena fanart nowadays, but this does mean that this series coming back isn't too unlikely. The last time she made art for this couple was on May 2017:

The problem box is digested. I also want to resume the creation of the flower shop lily. Thank you for the message.

This was Google-Translated but it should get the point across. It did seem that Kobeya, at least back in May 2017, wanted to continue this series. Maybe she ran into some serious writers' block?

Huh, I never thought we'd see the artist of this on Dynasty.

RIP Haruka, you try to be supportive of your friends' relationship and they take the opportunity to flirt right in front of you instead :V

It's usually worse than that, Every harem, with a yuri crush, I've seen, the yuri crush girl initially hates the protagonist, because he is coming between her and her crush. Then slowly falls into his clutches, becoming just another girl chasing after him. The moral of her tale is all you need to "cure" a girl of lesbianism is somebody with a penis to pay attention to her.

In Nisekoi, the yuri crush girl (Fuu) stopped hating the protagonist but remained faithful to her yuri crush until the end of the series. Unfortunately, said crush also remained unrequited until the end of the series.

Also props to Negima for pairing off two of the harem candidates with each other (Konoka x Setsuna) and effectively making them an official couple by the end of the series. Then again, the harem was so large that removing two girls from it didn’t reduce its size that much. They even had a third girl to spare (Natsumi) for a second sidecouple.

To add on to this, from what I've read Kuroko from To aru Index/Railgun never actually "grows out of" her crush on Mikoto or becomes interested in any boys either. Unfortunately her crush, to my knowledge, is also completely unrequited.

And even Tomoko agrees with us!

@Lyca I forgot if the manga describes the way dragons age or not. But I do like your theory, since it means that Kanna and Saikawa would be able to be together as adults for at least a little while until Saikawa dies of old age. So it would still end up with the same fate of Kanna outliving Saikawa, but at least there wouldn't be an awkward age gap. Is what I'm saying making sense?

That last page makes me think that Eli has been affected by Maki trying to get her heart to race, it's just that Eli's good at hiding it.

@auikimaya Apparently this picture by Chorimokki was inspired by some other Lillie x Mallow episode, since it was first posted back in June. According to Danbooru the artist commentary is:

"Lillie! That battle was amazing!" 「///」
AniPoke implies MaoLilli!!!!

Does anyone know which episode that was referencing?

A new-ish series by Neji is going to be licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment as "Beauty and the Beast Girl"!

Here's the synopsis from their website:

MONSTER GIRL IN LOVE

A lonely monster, dwelling in seclusion in the forest, wishes she could live among humans despite her frightening appearance. Everything changes when she meets a blind human girl who loves the stories her mysterious forest friend tells her. As the monster and the girl grow closer in their secluded world, their love proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

A lot it - both images and the actual comics - is on the artist's Pixiv, and it seems really cute.

Some Lillie x Mallow from the most recent episode:

I do agree that a full-on series would probably be hard to do, but a singular sequel would be pretty nice. I'd like Megumi's and Misaki's relationship to be developed and explored more, especially since in this setting a yuri relationship seems to be basically unheard of, judging by the others' reactions.

I found the preview for this on the artist's Pixiv. It seems that not all of the other doujins here are actually yuri, so I'll suggest to remove the yuri tag from here.

Unfortunately, the scanlator has said that they found the other works in the anthology to be uninteresting and is probably not going to scanlate them: https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/9puc7p/disc_the_fourth_heroine_oneshot/e84amhs/

Which is too bad. Hopefully the raws are out there somewhere for someone to pick up.

I haven't actually watched any of the Pokemon XY anime episodes, but I do always like the Rival x Rival dynamic. Plus this artist draws Miette really cute.

I have to wonder how they even ended up in this position. I'm guessing that Hokusai got super drunk and Abby was trying to help her to bed when they slipped and fell. Hokusai when straight to sleep and Abby got pinned between her legs.

I love how her reaction to the love letter was just confused/flustered screaming.

Distinct Kill la Kill vibes but with yuri.

You mean, Distinct Kill la Kill vibes but with more yuri. Mako x Ryuuko is canon and nothing you say can convince me otherwise.

It doesn't look like Misaki enjoys the ecchi at the end but I'll just ignore that
Well, I guess she's just shocked, I would be pretty shocked also

Look closely, she's totally blushing. I think she was more surprised than anything.

Also, can we talk about how terrifying this universe would be to live in? The characters have to act in a certain way, otherwise their entire being would just fade into the background. And the heroines don't seem to be treated much better. In Megumi's case, she's the designated fanservice girl - as stated, she's won't end up with the protagonist and will just have her boobs groped for the manga's entirety. At least she does realize that and start standing up for herself thanks to Misaki, and basically falls out of love with the protagonist.

And speaking of Misaki, Megumi's comment on page 9

You're also a heroine, so you'll quickly start to like the prota-...

Implies that the girls who interact with the protagonist will end up liking him no matter what. That's pretty much always what happens in a harem romcom, right? It makes Misaki being nervous about getting into an "ecchi" scene all the more understandable - if she refuses, she'll end up as an extra. But if she goes through with it, she'll lose herself and be forced to fall in love with the protagonist.

Really, that's what makes Megumi getting in the locker with Misaki all the more satisfying. Not only does she save Misaki from becoming an extra, she also saves her from falling in love against her own will. Not to mention, Megumi comes out of it with someone who actually does like her back (and not just for her boobs).

Notice how Shizuku is blushing a bit? I bet she'd actually like that.
