Anyway, does anyone know who the artist of the third story is?

theres a name on the first page of the third chap for a 'Roozu' and their twitter art looks pretty similar

Thank you! I updated the works and merged the two roozu author entries we had. Good find

Why is the elf attending highschool if she’s over 9000 years old? Like, even if she looks young enough to attend, what does she get out of it? Wouldn’t she already know more than the teachers?

I don't think so. If I follow the story right, the worlds have only just linked up a decade ago so she should know almost nothing about earth/the modern era. And it's probably very weird! She's as old as the stone age!

How is this a "moderate" amount of sex?

Fair enough. There are more pages not devoted to sex than your normal porn manga, but the story going on doesn't really amount to much. It felt like it had more to it than being porn, but after review maybe not.

Bah! Every time someone says "labor shortage," I hear "not willing to offer enough pay." We need more works for the Communism tag.

This whole "AI is gonna take our jobs, it's the end of times" discourse reminds me too much of stories about the industrial revolution, when people would break into factories and smash machines.

The whole AI taking jobs thing is a bit of a fantasy, it would be better to conceive of it like the introduction of automation into manufacturing in the 60s and 70s and then again of automation into the office in the 80s and 90s. The surprise Silicon Valley "embrace the AI because certain already low wage jobs will be unaffected" pitch here obscures the reality that it and automation will continue to turn high skilled jobs into low skill jobs that can produce more with less people at lower pay via outsourced contracts. Or at least, that's what I try to convey to my tech enthusiast coworkers.

That being said, pretty cool speaker to present at a trade school, and it was a good take for his audience. The themes seem kind of out of nowhere for the story, but now I want to be a pro narrator

If I follow correctly, in this Japan, the phone number for the police is too complicated to type from memory, and rather than a dispatcher you are auto-routed to the nearest officer's smartphone?

that'd be neat, but imagine the mess that would be in high crime areas lol. I figure she had the personal/work number of the cop since he was in charge of her ongoing case

Ah, that's much more sensible

So true, Anri or bust

Would anyone happen to know the original text from the quote here? I'd like to hang it on a wall to occasionally stare at it mindfully and sigh deeply. (Or I can go ask the TL on their discord.)

I really love office lady coworker manga. Though any time they start talking about proposals and The Deal and other office stuff my eyes glaze over

I hear you. I always find myself vaguely disbelieving about how EARNEST they always are about these incredibly banal company thingies. Like, it may seem tough and boring, but we must re-dedicate ourselves once again to the wonders of being exploited for free overtime! Woo!

I mean yeah, you're describing office life. I love these parts of office lady coworker manga precisely because of how real they are. I eye roll whenever our sales or product or marketing teams give presentations, but a lot of people really do drink the kool aid just like in manga. Don't even get me started on HR, the company cheerleaders and apologists. And here on the tech side people are very serious about doing their free overtime. It's a considered a virtue. Shows you're dedicated to the craft. Heh, if you think the vocabulary of labor is dead in manufacturing, remember that it never even made it to the office. My coworkers, with rare exception, have little concept of exploitation and that the company might not exactly have your best interests in mind.

Most real people who get that shit-faced hammered spend the next day wishing for the world to end.

At this point you're approaching the mythic two day hangover, too.

OH MY GOD, SHE'S DEAD! What a dramatic way to end the story.

(Joking around)

one of the tropes I hate the most seems to be a staple of yuri manga sadly (bath fainting)

&

I don't mind the rainstorm trope. Healthy young adult fainting in the bath, though? Come on.

I'm a "healthy young adult", sometimes I still get really dizzy if I stand up quickly and basically fall over (not often enough to be concerning). I've just never had that happen to me in a bath. So it's not too far-fetched.

Yeah I know people that get dizzy easily, standing up too fast, getting out of bed too fast, and so fourth can make them fall over, or even pass out completely. Baths/Showers can be really dangerous with the heat, so it's definitely not just some "manga trope".

I am questioning y'alls health

Gee, doc, since you apparently have a medical degree, maybe you should re-read the chapter on “low blood pressure.”

that sounds like a problem that can be fixed by consuming more blood

Half true. Consumption of foods high in iron can help reduce low blood pressure. Also avoiding certain foods and drinks that which thin blood, such as certain teas, can reduce the likelihood of fainting.

These are common symptoms of dehydration, which is extremely common itself. Drink more water and the blood won't just all rush to your head. Try to get 3 liters a day.

Also, damn, I'm really good at being dead wrong on predicting these stories. Secret skill.

Rehashed, sorry for the impromptu QC, but you might want to review the usage of pronouns as subjects vs as objects. It was a bit egregious this time around (basically just don't use "me" or "him" at the start of a sentence or "I" or "she" at the end)

All the setup seems kind of odd if they're just going to hand wave away Yuriko's disinterest in relationships as because of the skin grafts. What's the play here, Renmei?

I guess we are only missing one more story (The theory of fate with you)

That one was translated by someone else long ago. You can read it on other sites.

Oh damn, it was one of the short-lived Comic ExE yuri

So there's a mini-Heath, next to Marie's kid?

So did they have a kid? Or two? Or were they heath and Lily from flashbacks?

"I need to leave some for the other readers." She sure knows how to show her support. :D

And such a happy ending to the chapter. ^_^

But a note to Daphie - pretty sure it should be "center color" here, "center cover" makes no sense at all.

I assume "cover" refers to a type of illustration.

Wouldn't it be referring to the full color dual-page spread? It's been a while since I've read bakuman, but it has all the manga terms in it

15 years late, a new tag was born. Truly a momentous occasion

This is a fun tag and everyone should use it when they see something that needs it! It's also a nice queue, cleared out for now

More like 6 years lol

FWIW they were there at Yuzu and Mei's wedding (Bottom right)

Well, there go the stakes in this arc

You know, the manga just looks really, really cool and is better adapted than I ever could have hoped for. It's breathing a lot of life into the world and secondary characters that the sparse writing of the web novel never did.

Does anyone know which magazine this manga is in?

A magazine called Compass? It's possible they're just the publisher
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/lilies_voice_wear_wind_ch05

I could see Shiki moonlighting as a board game or tcg judge

Does anyone happen to know which yuri hime this is in? It looks like last year's page font

If I follow correctly, in this Japan, the phone number for the police is too complicated to type from memory, and rather than a dispatcher you are auto-routed to the nearest officer's smartphone?

lowkey thinking she got isekai or just somehow passed the barrier and got to the outside world lmao

Isn't her story that she isekai'd into Gensokyo? What kind of woman gets to double isekai?!

As entertaining as it is I wouldn't be surprised If there was a creepypasta based on this manga.

It's the other way around. See the following:

They just tulpa'd a cat

It's been ten years since that craze.
