What? Canon?... Is that wishful thinking?

Kinda. They're not dating, nor have they said any really magical words.

They have, however, said some really important almost-magical words. They're canon tsundere for each other and some of the strongest moments in the show are put on display when the dere comes out. They share the show's first kiss. Though accidental, its memory does lead to some simultaneous speechless blushing. They have their own relationship sub-plot (two episodes all to themselves in season 2), one of which involves their bond being tested by a crazy lesbian stalker (yes really).

Technically you could still write them off as friends though. Which means they're not really canon...right? Kinda difficult to say that about one of my favorite couples.

And thus ends a small and belated birthday dump for Sumireko. Most of which weren't actually birthday pics, but...

This not a suggestion but a confused new guy. I found out that I can add favourites but have no clue how. Can someone help me? I don't see anywhere a bookmark button. Or I am the only person that is having this problem?

You're not alone. The option only shows up on content pages (i.e. tags, series, oneshots, artists, etc.), so it can be a little confusing. You can edit the contents of each listing (and make new ones) under the Lists tab.

Done, thanks.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if Japanese people can even find children cute without being incredibly creepy about it.

It's probably fair to assume artists who draw stuff like this have a predisposition towards "creepiness." Much like one should not assume all Japanese have some fixation on faceless men or tentacles just because they are prevalent in porn.

Certainly there are lighter versions of child fascination throughout anime/manga - like Tamayura, to a much lesser degree Azumanga, etc. - but those don't go too far beyond typical comedic exaggeration of reality.

Everyone x Nozomi?

Ahh, pretty cool to see more new yuri hime being picked up. I know it's normal for Jin, but damn, I love it when main characters actually have character. Silly series so far, looking forward to more.

It's not shit! It's Katsura!

Pfffttt. I died for some reason.

Best freaking ship. Literally had to create a Doujin: Azumanga Daioh tag. How do we not have more of this?!

Isn't the title "Satsuki-chan to Ryouko-chan"?

Technically, "Satsuki-chan to Ryuuko-chan" (or English, "Satsuki-chan and Ryuuko-chan") is what's written on the first page of this set. Still a relatively non-descript title though, especially considering the tags, so not a big deal.

"Untitled" isn't a non-descript title, given there are 15 other stories also titled the same thing on the reader?

Haha, how silly.

In any case, some title is better than no title, we'll go with it.

Yeah, here or here are fine places to ask, thanks.
Girls Love isn't listed as an anthology because it was published as a magazine, which means it fits under the Issues section a bit better.

How very old school...old school is the best. Interested to see how this is, or if it even has an ending, for that matter.

More not porn from Ooshima? Really? I'm stunned.

epic shreked up by machigai anon aka we uploaded the wrong/pre qc zip. rest assured i made fun of her a ton for it just now

Fixed here, probably.

There's a certain distance about the storytelling, similar as well to Shimura Takako.

Yeah, the cover made me think it was an Aoi Hana doujin as well. I really dug this, makes me wonder what Shimura porn would look like nowadays.

Anyway, I found this excellent. If you don't give your undivided attention I do see how it could be confusing, but I didn't find that to be the case personally.

More original yuri is always good, anyway.

Damn. I can only imagine how much restraint she has to use when drawing the actual manga.

Minakata Sunao is out of control! (This is from some extra collection thing they're doing, not the manga)

For the record, I think the "this is not the body" scene is one of Morishima's best.

Strongly agree. It's here, for anyone looking around for it.

I very much like how the tone of the series slowly moves toward identification, especially in the second volume. The line that opens up chapter 17 is exceptional in that regard.

As I completed another re-read of this, I was inevitably reminded of Angelic Girl's little counter to the scissoring bit. It's possible after all!

"Interesting" indeed. Now...to find someone to scanlate it...

There's a formating guide/link around here somewhere, but I'm on my tablet and it's too much trouble to find....so, quote my post to see a few fun things

Linking without links

posted images should never be too big

neither should your words!!

tag your spoilers please

tag your tags too

This is really quite unbelievably cute. It's probably best that it isn't yuri - don't wanna kill anyone or anything.

I'm not really 100% sure of the names here, since I haven't played Aoi Shiro, feel free to suggest something more appropriate if I'm wrong.

Also, special thanks to the artist for allowing us to host this!

Student Teacher tagged?

Yeah we've always thrown nurses under the tag as well...
I think?

A Nurse tag might be nice though...

Well, I guess that type of premise works wonderfully for Citrus. It's not as if Mei acts logically in the actual series or anything.

p.s. Can anybody tell me how to put link another page without actually posting the link in full? It's sort of ugly but I don't know how to fix it.

Just quote my post and you can see how it's set up that way.

Just looked it up to see how the series is progressing (as opposed to the scanlations) and it seems like the last chapter came out a couple of days ago: https://twitter.com/himawari_shobo/status/492883970430746626. I really hope that Matsuri and Himawari-san get some closure! ><

Perhaps it's my twitter incompetence, or maybe my Japanese is failing me - as it usually does - but that tweet reads about the same as her usual monthly release tweet, doesn't it? I don't see anything declaring it over.

As anime is today, there’s no need for the specialty magazine...Nyantype [and] Megumi...[are] already bloated with yuri suggestive imagery all from series not officially of the category...they manage to take market share from the masses without ever seeming to do anything out of the ordinary.

Pfft. That was clearly Hirari's problem, they weren't making enough porny posters of existing copyrights. (gonna stop here before I go on a rant)

Anyway, this was talked about a bit in the severely off-topic Kase-san thread, probably good to have an actual thread for it. From that thread and elsewhere, we have some other interesting things that I'll just quote below...

(The original letter, with translation taken from /u/)

アンソロジー「ひらり、」は今号で休刊いたします。
The anthology "Hirari" is suspending publication as of this volume.
これまでたくさんの作家、読者のみんなさんは支えられて14号を迎えることができましたこと、心から感謝いたします。
We thankful from the bottom of our hearts that the support of our authors and readers allowed us to reach 14 volumes.
紙の本としての「ひらり、」は姿を消しますが、その遺伝子はこれからもメディアや誌面を変えてしぶとくたくましく生き延びていきます
The paper incarnation of "Hirari" may disappear, but its descendents will live on in other media, and on the pages of other magazines.
またどこかで、お会いしましょう。
Let us meet again in the future.

Kase-san will be continued.

https://twitter.com/hiromi_gko/status/494324854477172736
KASE TO BE CONTINUED

Holy Girl Paradigm and The Real Her will both be ending as of Hirari volume 14 (The Real Her will have a final ending chapter included in the tankobon). Under One Roof and Morinaga Milk's new-ish series remain unaccounted for [to my knowledge]. It's quite likely there will be some down time before we find out anything new.

Also, Nezchan asked

So wait. Hirari's gone, Tsubomi's gone, what major yuri mags are left?

Yuri Hime and the newly founded Mebae are the only yuri magazines to speak of.
