The humping starts so abruptly that it's kind of funny. The cuddling was cute though

The vampire girls who have to blend into human society after graduation, or join vampire-only enclaves... Temp could write a few paragraphs about this

I suggest a tag to warn about explicit hetero content in the source of an image, such as a Pixiv album.

Example: https://dynasty-scans.com/images/26010

Could something like Het in source work?

Just a heads-up: the source contains Het

All I can ask is… how?

People are gay, Steven

I have never seen sneezing used as a cliffhanger

Imaginary chair...?

I support women's wrongs tbh

for a moment I thought she was going to try to push Miyako off the cliff

Had to read the chapter twice to understand. Maybe the four-koma format would have worked better for this concept.

What's with those middle schoolers and what did the shorty mean bout what she said to VP?

Those are girls whom Minami Otsuka previously seduced. She was noted to be a player, but I think most of us forgot.

Hana (the short girl) probably means that Kanade should confess to Aoi while she has the chance. It feels kind of random though.

The unnamed patrons who crowd the tavern are not just background filling. They are the secret heroes of the story.

I love how they keep ordering food and drinks no matter what happens. (I really feel like some umeshu and croquettes right now!)

And the EXPLOSION OF REJOICING when the waitress finally gathers the courage to ask Midori her contact info? Epic, that.

That was not what she was supposed to ask!! Grr.

The meaning of Midori's words is transparent. « You see, I did my best and broke up with my asshole boyfriend! Now it's your turn to do your best! Do what you have to do! » It's fucking obvious she has realized Kyouko's feelings and wants Kyouko to confess!!!!

Midori knows these things take courage so she made a public display of courage to inspire Kyouko.

And how does Kyouko react? She barely manages to ask Midori her contacts!! Rejoice? Pshaw. Talk about a letdown. :(

She did confess... in a Japanese way. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Natsume Sōseki said it: Japanese sensibility wants subtlety and nuance. That's why rather than saying "I love you" you should say "The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?"
Or like Madarame said to Saki: "That day you had a nose hair sticking out!" lol
Or like Kyouko said to Midori: "Could you tell me your contact info?"

The love message is perfectly conveyed like that.

I think people in general prefer to confess in private, instead of in front of an audience. Kyouko also mentioned it earlier that she would prefer to meet with Midori off the clock. I believe she will confess properly when they're alone.

There is a difference between reposting the same artwork on Twitter or other social media, and what Dynasty is for. This is more like archival of the work than a reproduction, although it is still not something every artist would approve.

The earlier comment about the national age is misleading though as that is not the age nearly any prefecture uses. It's mostly 16 or 18 throughout Japan, through other laws. They don't view things much different than we do.

I did say they bump up the age in many prefectures to at least 16.

The age of consent is only 13 in the national penal code, and both the national and prefectural laws restrict sexual activity under the age of 18 in some form. The national Child Welfare Act of 1947 bans coercive acts and prostitution under 18. The prefectural and local laws do set the age of consent higher than 13, but they come with some caveats. Such as "indecency", meaning the older party intended to exploit the teenager, or there was coercion involved. Intent is of course more difficult to prove than the age of the participants. The punishment for breaking these laws also tend to be too lax.

This is a good article about why the national and prefectural laws are currently insufficient to protect teenagers from sexual exploitation, and why there is a movement to raise the national minimum to 16: https://unseenjapan.com/fight-to-raise-national-age-of-consent (published in 2020, so a bit outdated)

This is also a good summary about the situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Asia#Japan

More recent developments about a government panel drafting a proposal to raise the national AoC to 16: Nippon.com (2022) | Japan Times (2023)

Important to note that the proposed changes don't affect relations between minors: "[...] Intercourse with a person aged 13 to 15 will be punished if the perpetrator is five or more years older."

I'm very happy to see the update. I have mixed feelings about the quick escalation in chapter 12, but given the title I shouldn't be that surprised. I'm sure there are still a lot of challenges for these two in the future, so I'm not worried about the premise growing stale.

Bocchi x Ryou vibes

I'm a bit sad that it ended so quickly, but I enjoyed their dynamic a lot, so I'm satisfied

Why we all need to pay extra attention to privacy when working from home

Thank you for your service Suletta

^^^^^Duolingo has paired them up deliberately e.g. in DuoCon 2022, so it's not really a crack ship

^They retweeted this btw

"Transgender' + Yuri/Yaoi/Het" is playing genital roulette.

Genital roulette. Haven't heard of this game before, sounds like it would go hard

Why are they talking about her as if she weren't three feet away

What place could be more relaxing and romantic for two girls in love, than the bar owned by a woman that groomed one of the two girls (and a third girl)?

And isn't it just wacky and goofy that the owner of a lesbian bar doesn't reject any girls regardless of their age? She's such a silly prankster. A real comedian, if you will.

I love this... It was just one chapter, but there's already so much to think about. The artwork is so pretty.

Hanayo, a shy and reserved woman, and Yoshiko, a charismatic lady, depicted as a creature of the night. I know their names are probably not a Love Live reference, but still...

Riko must be in heaven

It's nice to see so many SuleMio works getting uploaded

The future is determined by the now. Tomorrow is in love with today. This, too, is yuri.

I'm really happy for them
