It's super ironic that a bot is talking about captchas.

I think the hair decorations are different between reality and "Beniko and Sora" (Empty vs Filled, Scrunchie vs String?). Rereading it that way, it looks like the real Saku never left her notes for Kasumi to see. There are some tricky transitions in there!

This should be on a notes page, for those of us who are too dense to figure it out for ourselves. Also, having re-read the story with this information to hand, I spotted that Kasumi has a mole by her right eye, while Sora doesn't (though I don't think knowing that actually makes any difference).

The Manga General Thread seems to have attracted some dubious posts. And one back in 2013 by a user who clearly hadn't read the manga they were commenting on in their other spam post. I haven't clicked on any of the links, but I suspect they're in violation of rule 5.

And this guy seems to be living on a different planet from the rest of us, what with his invitation to get together and travel the world...

Some people like this kind of sport, while others prefer yachting. I am one of them has long been fond of it, if anyone wants to experience new sensations, I can take me on board. In the spring we can get together and go to a warm country. You can book a yacht in advance here actually, no, you can't my favorite site where I always find a yacht for rent.

Congregate in groups? Travel abroad? In what parallel universe? I hope your yacht runs aground, bursts into flames, capsizes and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, and you drown slowly while sharks nibble on your genitals.

I know people tend to get attached to the fan-translated titles that they originally got used to but it's becoming awkward seeing this series still listed as "I Favor the Villainess" when even the Japanese covers say, in English, "I'm in Love with the Villainess."

You're falling into the trap of assuming that the English text on manga covers is (a) a translation of the Japanese title, and (b) accurate. Having said that, I'd go with "The Villainess Is My Favourite" myself.

Our heroines seem to have wandered into a different genre altogether in this arc... though of course there are reminders every so often of where they really are.

By the way, I'm surprised that Bikini Girls With Guns isn't a subtrope. No, not of Cosmic Horror...

As I enjoy my cuppa of Welsh tea...don't forget the tea!

Is that Welsh Brew or actual Welsh tea? (Note: Before today, I had no idea that either of these things existed. Once again, manga has expanded my horizons.)

"But the nurse might come back"

Come back? Why do you think she left you two alone in the first place?

So Japanese schools specify a regulation maximum level of stupidity for facial expressions...? Fascinating. Presumably this rule is less rigidly enforced at Yokoe's school?

I think there's something off in the text messages on this page:

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_sisters_friend_ch01#18

For one thing, on the next page Ruri says "Saki-chan... She just doesn't understand... but I called her "dirty"..." When in the text messages it says "Yikes! You're dirty, Ruriko!!" (Which doesn't make sense...) The other question I have about that section is: WHO IS SAKI-CHAN? The top of the screen says Kyouko, which suggests it's a chat screen on Ruri's phone with Kyouko, yet she's not calling her Kyouko... If her name is Kyouko Saki, that might explain it, but she hasn't referred to her as Saki prior to that and she doesn't after that. And the girl Kyouko is dating calls her Kyou-chan, so it doesn't really make Saki a strong contender for part of her name... Oh well... probably just a translation glitch...

I assume Saki is Ruriko's twin-tailed classmate, though, like you, I have absolutely no idea why it says "Kyouko" at the top. As for the "I called her dirty," it could be that the original text omits the pronouns, which is perfectly normal in Japanese as long as the listener knows who you're talking about, and the translator filled them in the wrong way round.

Is anyone in this series actually "pure"?

Is this actually Pay for gay, considering that the moment she realises she is, she forfeits the payment?

这是什么阴间翻译。。。难道不应该是“There is no way I can be your lover!*Maybe there is "吗?This is a better title,right?(I translate it from Chinese version.)

No, it's a terrible title.

Actually, they have a point. I would translate わたしが恋人になれるわけないじゃん、ムリムリ!(※ムリじゃなかった!?) as "Surely there's no way I can become your [ or her ] lover, it's impossible! (*It wasn't impossible!?)." You could probably improve the wording, but it's definitely become, not have.

Sooo... the shop's parrots are gonna talk to the big human woman and then translate to the hamster?

I'm sure nothing can go wrong with that!

I don't foresee any problems.

New avatar is the newly discovered smallest lizard on earth, in case anyone's wondering. Trocticophiles may now relax.

I've only had smol lizard for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this world and then myself.

I'd hate to sacrifice one of my brethren to the cause, but nevertheless I've added this to my list of ideas for eliminating the human race. Thanks!

It's probably a little late to suggest corrections, but I think "Mito Arushurain" should actually be "mit Arschlein." It's German for "with a cute arse," or something along those lines.

Also, if we read "Shinon Berukuru" as "Chignon Belle Cul," then her surname(s), if we ignore the mismatch of grammatical genders (it should be "beau"), would also mean "nice arse."

One arse reference could have been a coincidence, but two? I think not! Though, oddly enough, I can't see any puns in the other characters' names. Maybe I just don't know enough languages...

It's cute... I think?

Have titans never heard of surrogates and in-vitro fertilization? SCIENCE BITCH!

I know, right? What century are these titans living in??

I love Canno, I love this series, what a great ending for volume one, I can't wait for volume two, and the kissing was just nice, amazing

I can't help feeling it would have been better if the translators had simply omitted the volume 2 announcement, given how many false expectations it's raised...

But what grade did she end up getting on the report?

It's probably not a report for school but for work. As far I as remember, Miyuki was still working for the Earth Defense Force at the end of Gamma.

That's the other Miyuki, who completely by coincidence has the same name, appearance and girlfriend.

If you want lots of 3s, try Graham's number. Chapter size might be a tad unwieldy, though.

These are NOT the girls from Gamma. At least, that's what Ogino Jun wants you to think by writing their names here in katakana.

Perhaps they've just dropped the kanji along with the honorifics? Since they're close friends now.

In my humble opinion, it's transparently obvious that the author has recently gotten herself a pet cat -- and is adamantly decided to turn every little detail of her interactions with her cute kitty into a yuri fantasy manga story.

By that logic, we'd have to assume she also got herself a hamster at around the same time. Which would be a pretty risky combination, if you ask me.

However, I did a little searching on Neji's Twitter to see if I could confirm your hypothesis, and found several photos of Mick the cat... but sadly he's not hers. (We can probably assume that she's writing from experience, though.) He's no "spring chitten", either, ahaha....

Well, anyhow, as an apology for that terrible pun, here he is in drawing form.

And while I'm at it, here's a cat-related bonus featuring the hard-working Wani-san, who's clearly a reptile of discernment.
