At least half of the stickers in the set do show somewhat creepy expressions. I can't find it in the store, but the set is called "Original fuyuri stickers". Maybe they got taken down, like those pirated touhou stickers.

I think I have a LINE Sticker set made by that artist.

Being a parent is hard, it seems. The SakuRei was a bit uncomfortable because it seems their feeling don't really match up.

Having said that, it occurred to me that I had already marked the artist as 'read'. Did their prior works get removed?

Hm... I don't know.... I didn't like that chapter. It was rather uncute an mostly just plain silly instead of funny.

I found myself thinking that it's basically purely 4koma and nothing more after the first pages, too. It was still nice, I guess. And Kou is a sinful woman. How thick can she be?

On a side note: the New Game artbook 'Fairies Story' is pretty great.

I feel that there is too much going on at the same time, which takes away from the story-telling and enjoyment:

• Kurumi is still missing
• Rii is going off on her own
• the sick dude's fate is not even mildly interesting
• the crazy girl, who seems to have ulterior motives, is about to destroy everything, which has been hinted at but didn't really add to the suspense
• more zombie disease theory (which I think has been hamfisted since the beginning)

Honestly, what are you going to do after you've announced that the disease is airborne and mutating? You could kill off characters at any given point with no prior indication just because. No matter how much progress your characters make and pains they go to, it's kind of moot from here on out.

Oh god, Alien Nine! The horror...

I felt kind of swindled out of drama when the parasite's removal turned out to not be difficult at all after all the ominous remarks and build-up. So the symbiosis isn't problematic apart from the aesthetic aspect?

Must... resist...
Thank you, there go the Christmas holidays. \o/

If she did insert anything in, it looks to be her glasses. Or did they vanish into thin air?

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

I can read this once a year and I have yet to get tired of it. The lovey Dover HiroSae and the meta-stuff bits at the end make it really unique.

Dan Kim had a web comic about her, Nana's Daily Life or what it was called.

e: wow, I even remember that guy's name.

Row, row

e: that sure sounded better in my head. Stupid prepositional verbs.

Hm, this reminds me. I should finally take the time to read Pieta.

Well, yeah, who else? Hence the "(elder)". Can't blame you for forgetting her though, she appears in like 4 pages. >.>

Oops. I wasn't sure what that meant when I read it and figured it meant she is one of their elders at school (so their senpai) instead of her being the elder daughter of the Akidzuki family.

e: I have to say that the latest chapter has prompted me to re-read volume 2 and thus appreciate its story more. I'm happy about that.

One of those series I didn't get around to watching in spring. Oh, and one of the manga I've always been meaning to read.

I'll make a reminder for the Christmas holidays.

Nah, the monologue in the first two pages is from the rejected girl. And she's not Chiharu (they're still in middle school in the flashback).

I was also refering to this…

…It's weird to realize the volume 2 arc might have more depth than I initially though. --´.`--

Ah, thanks! I had already forgotten about chapter 7 somehow.

And I just found out who Akidzuki is, who Chiharu is talking about in the latest chapter. She is the girl sitting next to Maya on the bus and who has a crush on the teacher.

e: W-wait, she's actually Izumi's big sister?! Keeping up with who is who in AnoKiss is really demanding.

I admittedly never got what was Maya's deal. Was it that everybody fell for her and she just happened to not be able to answer their feelings or does she have no romantic interest in other people at all? The internal monologue in chapter 10.5 was a little confusing.

I'm not sure either. Maybe she was like a more insecure Yuu?

That's what seems more likely. After all, the invisible wall she faces after rejecting the girl has to have some meaning. I think she likes company but has no need for a romantic relationship and it's about other people's inability to deal with that. So for her a confession is something threatening that cuts her off from the people she likes.

Or else, she did reciprocate Chiharu's feelings but didn't want to confess because they were gonna be separated anyway. Or she realized it too late.

Wait, is the girl that confessed to her a younger Chiharu with long hair?

But that wouldn't make sense because they did stay friends. The whole internal monologue on that page and the next one doesn't really make sense as something Maya would say either. I'm still confused.

e:

Maybe it's just me, but "we're to Sunday" seems like the weirdest thing, can anyone else confirm that it's legit?)

Sounds alright to me. Indicates some urgency and implies a looming deadline.

It really is strange that Erstin's fate was the worst given everything that had been going on in My-Otome.

That's what you get when you have only one piece of chewing gum.

She only asked, "Ecchi suru?"

And the dirty they did!

I saw this on tamifuru's pixiv the other day. Thanks for translating!

I miss romance doujins about their college lives and ventures into Gensokyo. To me, RenMeri is justice!

Sorry if this is nitpicking but I can't help asking (sort of an occupational disease - it has been on my mind since yesterday):

Shouldn't

And, while I waited, I really started to fall in love with you too.

be progressive aspect instead of simple aspect?

And, while I was waiting, I really started to fall in love with you too.

Depicts the situation Yano talks about much better.

Maybe I've been too strict during grading recently? Thanks for your answer and sorry about the nitpicking.

Oh, and thanks for your hard work, as always!

That moment when I realized Chiharu decided the study session would be at Izumi's place and directly called Izumi's parents to settle the matter. That's as forceful as it is awesome.

e: they are the couple from the second volume. Izumi is the delinquent girl, who keeps being late to class. Chiharu is the straight-laced girl of the Planetarium trio. Ai is the sort-of airhead tagging along for the study session.

I there there is one similar to this by VISIONNERZ. But I could be mistaken.
