It has been 1000 years since I began my slumber...

And there is still no new chapter. A person can only reread the same 52 chapters so many times before going mad. Bonkers. Insane. Cray-cray. Loony. Flat-Earther.

The only ray of light is that the last chapter didn't end on the fight. Instead it ended on the promise of sleeping together! Speaking of... ressurect me when the new chapter comes out. returns to slumber

From what I've gathered, there's probably no more chapters coming from the scanlator that had been doing them. He apparently only does series that have a large backlog and as soon as he catches up, he drops them according to what he said in an interview with the Mangadex staff.

Yeah, I mean you only up and completely disappeared on her without any warning making her question if her relationship with you ever even meant anything in the first place. But shame on her for believing the rumors she started hearing after you left due to her questioning how well she knew you.

Of course--I have one in my own family. Charismatic introverts just usually don't take as many opportunities to display their charisma to the wider public. lol

I'm not taking this any further than this, because the most toxic discussion I've ever had on Dynasty was about the concept of "charisma," but I will say in my experience that I've known many forceful personalities who I would not describe as charismatic--they were just forceful.

Then there were the people who for some reason (a reason we often give the name "charisma") were people who made others want to listen to them, to get their approval, to agree with them. And sometimes when reflecting afterwards on what that person said, you'd think, "that sounded so completely convincing when they said it, but it actually doesn't really make sense."

Yeah, that's all fair enough. I should clarify that when I say "forceful personality" though that I don't mean someone who's pushy or anything like that. I mean someone whose personality and way of going about things can end up strongly influencing others even though they're not being pushy.

Of course, I’m not saying that the introverted wallflower Kurokawa is being depicted as exceptionally charismatic, just that for Fujishiro the emotional dynamic is similar.

It's completely possible for someone to be charismatic while being introverted. It's just not nearly as noticeable because introverts are so quiet. Charisma is simply force of personality, not extroversion. You can argue that Kurokawa doesn't have a strong force of personality, although I would personally argue that the reason she doesn't seem like she has a strong force of personality is simply because her values are different from most peoples'.

We don't do titles that are already taken sorry. You don't know if this group dropped it is not. They might just be busy

If this was actually directed at me rather than SassyCiel (I'm assuming that's the case since it was a reply to my post) then I was just trying to give an explanation for why the title might've sounded familiar to you.

I think we were about to do that one but we didn't.....the title reminds me of something

Might be because someone's already translating it, it's just been four or five months since the last release.

CozyCreature12 probably read the first manga

CozyCreature12's definition of yuri is extremely arbitrary anyways so take any claims from them that something isn't yuri with a grain of salt. From the definitions of yuri they've given in other threads, even a manga like Girl Friends somehow doesn't count as yuri. Their definition of yuri disqualifies it on grounds Mari dating what's his face to try and get over her feelings for Akko.

I reread this from time to time and just wondering, shouldn't this have the defloration tag? Check at this, that's blood! :o

Er, where? I don't even see anything that seems like it could be mistaken for blood.

Though it does seem that in your subjective opinion nothing is good- and you couldnt even tell a good character or story if someone clubbed you over the head with it.

I'm actually curious what something they would praise even is because I've seen them call a series great then go on to say nothing but negative things about it immediately after. (And this was within the last month or so iirc.)

Yooo, CozyCreature12. I don't think people mind if you dislike certain (or most) things, but I think it would annoy people less if you were more tactful and respectful about it. Referring to stuff you don't like simply as "shit" kind of makes you seem like an unlikable and negative person, you know? Especially when it seems to be you find most things to be shit. I mean, I think Naruto is pretty crappy, but I wouldn't go on a Naruto subreddit and start referring to everything about it as shit. I tend to think people would think I'm a troll.

Your name is CozyCreature. Live up to the name and be a bit more cuddly, yeah?

Yeah, this exactly. I think I've seen only a handful of posts from them that weren't completely negative even in the context of series they were saying they liked. (Which is weird because you'd think someone who liked a series wouldn't seemingly have nothing but negative things to say about it.) It paints a really bad impression. I have no issues with someone disliking a given series but they should go about it differently and make sure they're giving the correct impression.

I don't care if the people see in that way, I just wanted to share my opinion and that's all, even it's sucks, I like it to share it... And no I'm not an hater, I just judge what I read, and what I read it here was a bad story with bad development

You seem to just be here to shit all over the forums considering that whenever someone tries to actually discuss things with you, you just jump ship and run away instead of actually using forums to discuss things, as they were intended to be used. Between that and the fact you basically never have anything positive to say about any series it makes it pretty difficult to take anything you say seriously.

Bad story, bad development and shit character= Murakami
Murakami is a crap of character...really, she's worst than Mei from Citrus...
I can't even image why they choose this story for become anime when there is a lot of GOOD stories out there
(Sorry for being direct, I had to said it)

Yeah, but your standards are so completely arbitrary that you don't even seem to consider 99% of actual yuri to even be yuri so I dunno why anyone would take your words at face value.

This is one of the ones I cleaned? I thought that they had released all the ones I worked on. That was apparently sitting for awhile waiting for a typesetter.

Yeah well, my expectations were broke so I'm leaving of this...time to wait other GOOD Yuri manga

I think it'd be impossible to live up to your completely arbitrary expectations. You seem to think every yuri manga is shit which makes me question why you even bother coming to the site. Then again you also seem to jump ship whenever the discussion gets too tough for you too which makes me question why you bother posting on the forums since you're clearly not here to discuss anything.

My rule: Yuri must be Yuri, het must be het, Yaoi must be Yaoi, any of those can't get mixed because they're very different...
That count even the brother is trolling his sister

So are you saying Girl Friends can't be yuri because Mari spends an entire volume forcing herself to date a guy and trying to get over her feelings for Akko? Cause that just seems like incredibly moronic logic, at best, to me.

Yet another trans lesbian here. (lmao there sure are a lot of us, huh?) I agree with Samcaesar, it doesn't seem to me that she's drawn to appear very masculine. Depictions of trans women as being super masculine are definitely harmful, but nothing about Akira shouts "masc" to me. Taller than her cis female peers, but that's hardly a crime.

The only things that could be considered masculine are really just her height and hair length. She's taller than most cisgender women and has short hair which is generally seen as a masculine trait. But cisgender women can be tall and tons of women have short hair so those aren't actually valid criticisms here.

And somehow, that thought isn't as comforting as everyone tells you it's supposed to be.

That probably depends heavily on one's personality. Someone who has trouble empathizing with others or someone who has the shitty mindset that it's not enough that they win but others must lose would probably find comfort in that but just about anyone else would find it little comfort at all.

So~~ How much are we betting that Kazumi is a dude in our MC's home reality?

Don't get me wrong I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong but considering who the author is....

I'm pretty sure people have directly addressed this in the thread already and the protagonist recognized her as a girl from ehr original reality.

The mother was actually pretty supportive compared to others who'll scream at you angrily day in day out.

Even if the rest of what you're saying is accurate, it doesn't come across that way terribly well. Neeko's mother doesn't come across very well as someone who's actually supportive. She may not scream angrily but the end result is more or less the same. She doesn't actually help Neeko improve her situation at all because she approaches it totally wrong and the end result is almost always Neeko feeling bad about herself, yet again, and not wanting to bother her mom.

A one-shot featuring a girl with old-fashioned mannerisms (I think shaking hands was mentioned, in specific) whose nickname in the class is "Lord", because her name is either literally "Tono" or very similar to it.

By the way, androids are still humans. If it thinks like a human, acts like a human, looks like a human and considers itself to be a human, it is one. The only difference is that their ghost is piloting a robot made out of metal while we pilot a robot made out of meat.

That makes them a person, not a human. There's a difference.
