Honestly while Ploy and Ice being teased a bit makes me shrug, I do think they're incompatible. You've got one girl who's a straight-up bisexual bitch (Ploy) while the other is just a childhood friend with unrequited love (Ice). Now if they were both the shrew manipulators or something, I could totally see it. Otherwise this is just Pair the Spares.

Decent, however, I think it was a bit rushed. Would make a better short series.

Praise be to Divulge Scans and Takemiya Jin for giving me more of these <3

This anthology is wonderful :)

Is Hanjuku really that dramatic or angsty. I've read it many times and never seemed that way to me.

For series: Gokujou Drops, Game, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter (anthology of related stories all involving some form of drama), Perfume of Love + Steps (lots of related stories, all couples with some drama), The Sea, You, and the Sun
For one-shots: Present, The Red Love Letter

(just a few of my faves)

Maybe it is a thing in Japan for people to go "look at how gay these girls are, they are straight through"?

More like thinking of every homophobic.

Anyways, i think it's people's own fault to even hope that they would get a yuri anime from someone who is yuri baiting them for years and then bitching about it.

But then again 'Common sense not in common people'.

At least i put them on my 'Never watch his works' list.

I think it's mainly two crowds - the cynics and the hopeful. The cynics will be like 'It's KyoAni, of course it's yuri bait. Don't take the bait.', while the hopeful will be 'It's 2016, maybe KyoAni has finally come around and will give some canon yuri, right?'

Weak. You haven't even mentioned John K. Peta

John K. Peta is for the truly insane.

So... Hibike...

I watched the first (double) episode of S2. Decided that it's already a perfect ending for the franchise (the gay firework watching) so was waiting till S2 finished to see whether it's worth to watch it....

I assume it's not?

If you are here for the yuri, no. In general it's not that bad, it's just Reina that has ruined it imo. Ironically, she was the one who made it great in S1

Yeah they destroyed her character. KyoAni has this thing for ruining characters they have, especially if they are involved in something lesbionic.

There's a trope about this.

So when do the younger girls do the dirty yuri things? One can only hope soon.

Some more Ayano x Kyouko for my perusal <3

Oh whoops, I saw this right before going to bed the other day and forgot to check it out the next morning, lol. That chapter actually looks even more tedious to clean than the one I did. If you managed to stick that thing through to the end then I commend you.

I stuck through it and turned it into a redrawn, clean set of pages.

It would be nice. Especially if it worked that the reason Tomoko isn't 'popular' is because she's trying to be something she's not. So it would be nice if she had some form of revelation and being herself a bit more, which would actually cause her to get popular with a lot of girls and that presses someone with a crush on her to confess and suddenly ~YURI~

I don't get it. Is Maruta notorious for turning yuri stories into het?

Bisexuals exist, yo.

Haha, yeah. In their defense though, maybe they're talking about the relationship in the story and the ending more than anything else. (something like yuri relationship for most of it then having a het relationship in the end)

I haven't read any of Maruta's het works (and I don't plan to either!), but, based on the comments in that other full yuri work, I think this is pretty much what happens in all of Maruta's stuff. Everyone was surprised that Nadeshiko Hiyori turned out to be full yuri (especially with that weird Papa thing... glad that got taken care of without any problems), and I guess I was too because of all the bad things I heard...

Also, Fate/Extra, huh? I still need to get around to reading the Fate VNs one day... although I don't believe they were ever officially released in America? And, well, even if they were, I certainly wouldn't have the money to pay for it based on how much stuff like Grisaia and Nurse Love Addiction are! (and, yeah, sorry for talking about this here, I don't want to derail the thread either).

One of Maruta's most popular series features a couple of incestuous fraternal twins, one of which has a penis. However, said person crossdresses and is oniichan-in-name-only. Even everyone at the school they go to thinks both of them are just identical cis girl twins. They tend to be hypersexual and enjoy having fun with other folks. The younger sister has sexual interaction with a nurse, both of them enjoy doing sexual stuff with a covertly-kinky librarian student, and everyone who interacts with them basically falls for them. However, they abruptly transfer schools leaving everyone hanging. The librarian, in love with the sisters, ends up clinging to the first guy who asks her out after the sisters disappear because she's incredibly lonely and depressed without them there.

There's Het, there's Yuri, there's Incest and Twincest, there's Student Teacher, there's Threesomes, a gender-ambiguous character, and more. It's a really confluence of everything.

I don't get it. Is Maruta notorious for turning yuri stories into het?

Bisexuals exist, yo.

Oh it was me too. It was a BITCH. But completely done.

The volume 1 extras were the only chapter I've cleaned since joining Kawaii that I didn't enjoy at all, lol. That series is one of the most tedious things ever. (Though the two page spread I recently did for Miss Sunflower was pretty challenging too. That one I enjoyed however.)

You should check out the raws I had to clean.

Short of using tamper monkey and grease monkey, it would be nice if there was a way to change the color scheme of the site. Specifically I was thinking of a darker color scheme to it's easier on the eyes.

It would be much much easier to use Stylish and have a CSS userstyle.

I'm considering reviewing this, so I bought it. Here's the "bonus chapter", "Come Home Hungry":
http://www100.zippyshare.com/v/s5msv6cE/file.html

Raw, of course.

I'm wondering, when I write something on it, should I refer to it in an article title as Out of the Blue! or "i love you yori aisiteru"? The latter is the title of the tankoubon, but I've only ever seen it called the former.

EDIT: uploaded a different version with the original png files in all their bigness

I'm currently cleaning this chapter if anyone wants to help translate.

Cleaning finished. A friend and I are working on translating it.
