Ah. I didn't get any of that, from the manga.

Well, the problem is more that the translator didn't.

I didn't get the scenes on pages 2 and 3 of the special. Could someone explain it to me?

Uta: I think normally if you swapped bodies it'd soon get found out.
Chloe: Everyone around is stupid, aren't they? Like you. (anyway, it's fiction)
Uta: Ehh?
Uta: (that's harsh) I really think even I'd notice if it were someone familiar to...
Chloe + Cat: ?
Uta: Ahh, with the Kuro-chans I might not notice!

I didn't quite get it but did Kuro had sex with that Konatsu? Why is she coming from a bath suddenly? So she cheated on Miyabi or not?

I think she was just taking a bath while Uta sees Miyabi off, since it's that time of evening. Uta will come back shortly.

The title of this series is "Lily Maria to Wakai seyo". It's a reference to "Kami to Wakai seyo" ("Reconcile with God"), a slogan that Christians use in Japan. It's a bit of a Japanese meme to mock it, particularly by turning the kanji for God (神) into the katakana for cat (ネコ).

オムニバス is "omnibus" rather than "omniverse".

"Yuri gokko" doesn't exist without "yuri".

I'll give you that. The concept is interesting, but the author fails to utilize it fully. The story never gets to explore the fallout of Hana's actions and how she and Nozomi's relationship would change after that. I was eagerly awaiting those things after the climax, but was severely disappointed when the story just abruptly ends.

I actually think it's wrong to see that as a failure at all. It's perfectly fine for it to be focused as it is.

I think this is an okay one-shot with an interesting concept. It's criticizing the social pressure where high school girls think they have to grow up and is about how shit that concept of what's mature is. The protagonist is messed up by it and doesn't even have a framework to understand what she's done wrong and that's the perspective the story is told from but the reader is supposed to obviously understand better.

Well that was depressing... Somehow I blame the success of NTR (and, to a lesser extent, Citrus) for dragging all of the psychotic and rather disturbing characters back out from the past, where the psychotic variants of "kill your lesbians" plagued us to the point of being 95% of the stuff you could find.

This is from 2013. Citrus would have been on chapter 5 and Kodama was starting Cocytus.

SOOOO eager to read the next chapters!!!

It was a two parter, so it's finished.

Takemiya Jin has a story in the new issue of Galette, but it's not a continuation of this.

This got a continuation called Mousou Artifact in the July 2017 issue of Yuri Hime, and both are collected in Takemiya's latest tank, Mabushisa no Mukougawa.

This is confirmed to be one of the series on Yurihime@pixiv (YH's web manga platform), starting Sept 28th. I guess it'll be a new version.

Sekishoku Vanilla is actually the name of the artist's doujin circle rather than the artist. The artist uses the name Kuma for doujin work and Kawanami Izumi for commercial work such as this Eclair one-shot (and her new series in Dengeki Daioh).

Wasn't there another story similar to this with the cat jealous of the actual human lover?

I guess https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/kanon_sans_little_cutie

Anyone knows how many chapters are out in Japan? and how many chapters the vol 1 has?

Vol 1 is 1-5, vol 2 is 6-10. I think the latest chapter was 16, which was in the final issue of Hibana. There might be 1 more final chapter in vol 3, due sometime in Winter.

Volume 13 may be the last one depending on sales? Am I understanding that correctly?

Yes. The editor has told Kishi to take into account the possibility having to end at volume 13. It's not decided yet and sales of 12 (out soon) will influence it.

I like Mochi au Lait, but it feels like someone who specializes only in easily shareable candy is being hailed as the greatest chef.

It's several chapters of misery in the middle before cheering up for the last few.

The mangaka writes in the afterword about her editor suggesting doing something set in LA as the mangaka is resident there, and about same sex marriage, that having been still a fairly recent legal victory at the time.

I think in the end it looks like they really are half sisters. The "not my daughter" thing was either just a rant or an attempt to keep her out of evil dad's orbit.

It was a mistranslation of "I should never have given birth to you."

I don't understand why she calls a normal, modest clothing "a cosplay". For Yae it would be better if Sakura was wearing super short skirts, thight blouses and no lingerie? O.o

Look up "sukeban". Wearing a really long skirt like that was a delinquent thing, but now it's anachronistic.

Oh, I remember that one. I didn't know there was a second chapter. And yeah, that was something.

It has 14 chapters.

It's a web manga so it's not like a magazine where there's people buying the whole thing. The audience for Yuzumori-san can come from social media, visiting for free, without ever having touched anything else on the site.

"Destruction of Innocence" is wrong. Something like "Ruin's Innocence" would be the right way round.

The other title might mean more like "Chaste Destroyer". The title seen on the dropped manga is "Extermination Bride".
