feeling stupid now

Right, I've noticed that on my phone too. Thanks for the tip.

So drhelsing, it'd be best to make sure your browser isn't windowed, and maybe post back after that.

Well, maybe post back if/when you can give an image. I'm using Firefox as well, and I can't duplicate that.

Is that all for now? I know the next chapters are going to be bad but at least the reactions in the comment sections are going to make up for it...

From the release post:

"Finally, we've made it to the end of volume 2 of Kyou Kara Yonshimai with chapter 10. Currently, chapter 11 was published in Comic Birz last month, so we're basically all caught up for now. The earliest volume 3 will be released should be either January or February, so we'll be returning to this series come early next year."

I know it's the little horn thing, I just don't see it anywhere :(

That's weird. Well, the web client isn't great, and you can get the same thing by downloading an irc client (some of us on Windows use Icechat, Hexchat, and Ychat). We're #dynasty-scans @ irc.rizon.net
I know that downloading stuff isn't for everyone though...

What browser are you using? Any chance you could post a screenshot/image of your headbar (similar to what I did, but the full thing)?

Hey whatever happened to the chatroom option in the site? All of a sudden it was gone, just like that

chat room? there was one of them thar thingies on here? or do you mean the irc link?

Yeah I meant the irc link, it's nowhere to be seen now

The little horn thing, that's irc.

However, they will only be up from 9/28 to 10/27, so if anyone wants to see them, you'd better look at them soon. Of course I don't know what the posting period of the other two current chapters will be. Or when or how long new chapters will be posted. But this gives me more solid hope that new chapter will indeed be coming out.

Oh, thanks for checking it out! That's too bad, I was hoping it'd be more like the sites that host Frag Time/Stretch; with older chapters staying up till the tankobon release. This sounds more Tsubomi Web, which really penalized readers who fell behind (removing new chapters after a few weeks).
Good to have some frame of reference.

if they are keeping new releases up on a monthly basis, hopefully they have or will add an archive page so readers can go back and reread "old" releases.

Well, it's meant to encourage folks to purchase the tankobon if they want to read older chapters, so there's always that.

This page was surprisingly poignant with Banba's reaction. Threw me off a bit.

There is so much background shipping going on now, Minakata has clearly taken central command.

This pairing is just so good. This "I'm going to do my best!" kind of Tsubasa is also really cute.

Of course, I'm on episode freaking 10, so I finally got spoiled on something...

Yeah, there's not a trace of yuri in this.

I think your view of romance has to be pretty narrow to say there's "not a trace" here. But I guess that comes down to personal opinion.

Doesn't make it a bad story, just means there's a tag that doesn't belong.

Thank you for actually making a suggestion!

SInce is still marked as ongoing, there are more?

Not gonna lie, this ending was underwhelming.

There's still an extra (as described in the release post).

Sorry for the lack of tags (accidents).

Now don't ye dare say "This ain't yuri." It don't get much gayer than this.

Aw, you skipped my favorite Otoha Bell pic. I assume because it wasn't translated and you only upload translated pics?
I'll just leave this here.

Yep. Figured I'd do it myself but couldn't today, so thank you very much!

This was requested. Bumping, because it's already here!

We're working on it, should be within the week or so.

Well, that'd be really sweet. I know I should stop by the site to say it, but thanks a lot!

I'm all for yuri and everything (obviously since I'm on this site), but am I the only one who would rather Maya end up with Hidesuke?

Hmm. It's kinda evenly split for me. The story is written to make Maya and Michiru's relationship seem positive and sympathetic. For all her bad habits, Michiru wants what's best for Maya, and she clearly cares for her. For his part, Hidesuke is a pretty competent character, and I can see his appeal, even if I can't really quantify it.
This should have a Love triangle tag, huh?

I really can't stand how selfish and irresponsible Michiru is. She's such a little brat, she makes me want to smack her.

Actually slight spoiler, I feel like much of the idea behind the series is the struggle to grow up and accept responsibilities, and that's exactly what Michiru eventually does.

New chapters of 14-sai no Koi are out that haven't been uploaded here. Is it one of those situations where the scan group has set a cool-down period after release before the chapters can be uploaded elsewhere?

Nah, PROzess doesn't care about that kind of stuff. I just missed them because I've been away for most of the last month. If it happens in the future, you're welcome to just put in a little upload request for whatever is missing (delayed groups are shown on that page as well).

^Arata Iri is actually one of the headliners of the new yuri [ecchi?] magazine Mebae, which features her new series. She also has a pretty moe het series running in Young Comic, you can check out the first few chapters raw on Pixiv.

I don't really know anything about either of those ventures, but she has (very thankfully) yet to disappear, as some great yuri artists have done in the past.

As an aside, this seems to be one of those series that encourages folks to take the plunge and grab personal copies. That makes me really, really happy.

(I originally just copy/pasted because I thought I was busy. I was wrong. Thanks /u/)

I'm curious, how do those magazines that go online continue making profits?

As I recall, magazines typically sell at a loss, and make no money on their own. Profits are made through the advertisements within - new anime, games, whatever - and tankobons. Thus, they're not really losing any profit, and with the relatively small amount of server space required, they ought to be losing less by going online. Of course there's a lot more to it than that, but the money is going to be made the same way - advertisements for print stuff, and tankobons.

There are two issues to contend here. The first is that the Japanese haven't made much effort to reform their business model, meaning that the actual viability of an online magazine is still up to great debate. The second? I'm one of those who feel that print magazines are obsolete, so my view is certainly very biased (along with being outdated/lacking in fact-checking).

Another case for me is Comic Blade, which has high concentration of mangas I love

Hopefully they do well!

I also wonder if this will make scanlators work easier or harder

I'd say neither. Editing from the web pages minimizes the work in one step (cleaning) and can make another (redrawing) much easier, but it comes at the cost of a typically tiny (~1200 px) resolution. In some cases, web comics can be so small that certain kanji are completely indecipherable, but I think that's more of an issue for sample pages than a problem for anything officially released.
Of course, there may be some scanlators who will wait to work on a project till they have the highest quality raws, so I could see there being some delay.

"Not sure if this news is old but, the first signs of Hirari web serialisation.
http://www.shinshokan.com/webwings/

A web magazine, FLASH Wings seems to be where some series of the old Hirari will find home. This is from the same publisher as Hirari itself. At this moment, there is only Morinaga's old stuff but here is what the Editor has to say:

From this month onwards, content from "Pure yuri anthology Hirari" will be added! First, we have Morinaga Milk's "Ohime-sama no Himitsu" series. It is the (repeat of) two chapters from the anthology. Hereafter, new series will appear too so, please look forward to it!!

Asagao to Kase-san is scheduled to start serialisation in the November issue, according to the author."

Copy and pasted from /u/

Link to Takashima's blog post about it; http://gureko.blog21.fc2.com/blog-entry-313.html

I guess that I will be checking Sora no Method, if Hylarn says that turned pretty well.

It turned out great. It's gonna be like lesbian Anohana, I can already feel it.

I'm now suggesting an Animated.

Yeah, definitely needed.

Expect regular updates to resume October 19th (yes, much later than originally planned).

Was Haru speaking in the third person all the time in the anime? It wasn't in the subtitles.

Yeah, she was all "Haru this, Haru that" throughout the anime. You may have watched the iffier subs.

Soo, why is there a genderbender tag?

I'm unsure if it's a reverse trap or a male. Their gender is called into question and poked fun at multiple times. Made accurate tagging a little bit difficult.

The discussion is above.

Shep & Tali not being an option is definitely a travesty. I think there's even a point where you can flirt with Tali but she just gets embarassed. Not sure if I'm remembering that right though.

Sigh. For the longest time, something has been keeping me away from playing ME 3. Having stayed pure for her through the first two games with Shep, it may be because I am barred from romancing the best character in the series. Sigh.

To remedy this I started a new playthrough as a male, but somehow that just wasn't nearly as fun. Also, it felt like I was betraying Jennifer Hale. Not a good situation to be in.

Also this is probably the right place to ask...is it okay if I don't like SonoHana?

Yes.

Those are the only VNs I've tried and I don't really "get" them. Are there VNs/yuri games out there that are not like SonoHana?

I guess that depends on what you mean by not "getting" them??
