Volumes 2 through 5 can still be purchased (used) as physical books. They are all available at Amazon.co.jp. Volume 2, volume 3, volume 4, volume 5. If you haven't been here before, click on the link in the top right that says "see this page in English." Click on the button that says "see all buying option." The sellers that will ship internationally will say "International shipping" on the right side. Sometimes the ones that say fulfilled by amazon will also ship internationally. If none of them will ship internationally, all is not lost. You can still use a forwarding service to get it shipped. See Divulge Scans for details on that.

OMG!I just loooved this yuri if someone know a link where we can buy the manga just say it to me please!^^Thanks!

One place you can buy volume 1 is at amazon.co.jp (the Japanese Amazon.com). There's a link in the upper right corner to show much of the site in English. It looks like it's out of print so you'd have to buy it used from the marketplace, but some of the ones marked fulfilled by Amazon will ship internationally. I didn't look past the first page, but if any of them specifically say International shipping, that's what they do. It was cancelled before volume 2 came out, so it you want the rest of it, you'd have to buy the individual Tsubomi issues that those chapters were in. And of course, to do any of this, you need an international credit card (that is Visa or Mastercard).

I don't see why the translators went with 'savage' instead of 'ravage'

You know, I suspected you didn't know who I was.

I will say, I deliberately chose "savage" over the more clichéd "ravage" so I suppose it's cool that a debate has sprung up specifically about that.

I understood savage well enough in context (as I'm sure pretty much everyone did), though I thought it was unusual to use it instead of ravage. I haven't (and probably won't) take the effort to read the original Japanese here, so as long as Gulf Standard used the word they intended to, I don't see any problem.

What TsundereChan said.

Also on page four, second panel, maybe "what is it that I really love." should be "what it is that I really love."

Edit: It's a Wildrose story without an actual sex scene, but only an imagined sex scene. Have we seen that before?

And now for a public safety message that has no connection at all with this manga, Pranks that are designed to make the victim think someone is trying to kill someone are not pranks but deadly serious business. They have the unfortunate tendency to every once in a while result in the death of either one of the pranksters or the victim. This is especially true if either the victim or someone the victim cares about is directly threatened as part of the prank. So good little boys and girls (and adults too), please don't ever pull this kind of prank.

Ahem. The previous message had nothing at all to do with this manga as was therefore off topic. But this doujin was cute and fun to read.

Though I am somewhat fond of FF (crazy ikr), I don't judge FF and LL with the same... "criteria". That might seem "unfair", but I just think that different series can have very different "purposes", and it doesn't make sense to have the exact same set of expectations for all of them. You know, It's like going to see a serious drama movie versus a silly comedy versus a dumb action movie. I would think most people wouldn't take the "criteria" used to judge one and apply them to the other. Apples and oranges, as they say. Just my opinion.

This is exactly why I said you can't compare FF with LL :P

But if you compare apples and oranges, you can always get the result you want. That's why all the politicians in the USA make sure to always do it that way. Err, please forget I made this post.

If you go to America, you'll get shot.
If you go to Europe, you'll get kissed by a stranger.
If you go to Australia, you'll get run over by a car.

You know, I think one of these misconceptions isn't quite accurate, but I'm not sure which. I'm pretty sure the one about Australia is right though.

Edit: I wonder what happens to you if you go to Africa or Asia or Antarctica.

Not mine. I end up liking FF more than this. At least Ssamba takes the time to build her characters before throwing them in a relationship, even if some plot devices are weak (overhearing conversations much?).

I hope it gets better later, but I feel like I still don't know anything about Donut or P'Mew.

Please do not expect any of this manga.
I made it just for my fun.

And you can trust me that a lot of us appreciate that.

I second that. I love this manga and really appreciate the effort you've put into it. And really, thanks for making it even if just for your own fun.

Gay as in she is "lame" or gay as in she is "homosexual" ?

Homosexual. There is different meaning of word gay?

I'm conflicted about this manga. Good thing Anna said no, but my stand stays. At this rate Ema is going to rape Anna. I don't really find their relationship charming.

no,no it's not like that, you are misunderstanding poor Ema, she is a troubled woman,yes,with a strange sexual hug aka panty sniffing thing,but I am sure in my heart she is a good person and means no harm

Well, without saying anything about what may or may not happen later on, it's clear to me that Ema regretted a great deal what she just did to Anna and believes she hurt her badly. And that is why she called herself completely worthless. It's because she believes she just did something terrible to Anna, not because she believes herself to have no worth. Of course this is just my own opinion. Just because I'm the translator does not mean I know what the artist was thinking.

As a side note, this scene caught my attention before I ever decided to do this manga, and it's in part because of this scene that I decided to pick up the project despite a number of personal reservations.

ch 3 pg 67: "I got a sample at part my time job" it should be "at my part time job"

It's fixed; thanks for pointing that out. If you don't see the correction, remember to hit the reload button in your browser.

I have the feeling of missing something...
Can someone enlighten me if what happens here http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/age_15_ch03#18 is really happening (and the protagonist is able to react not the least) or all it is just in her head?

It is, in fact, all in her head.

I am very certain you won't be the only one wondering this, so I'll lay it out here. A black background behind the panels always means that something is different, usually (but not always) either a flashback or an imaginary scene. Also, what Ema is saying does not match up with the action, and she would have a very hard time saying it at all with her mouth occupied like that. Add that up and this being Anna's imagination is the only possibility.

Besides that, Miku's reactions after Anna snaps out of it also don't line up with that action.

I don't like the ex. Like, is that just me?

She strikes me as a manipulator who has likely given Mew very good reason to be holding a grudge.

Edit: And it sure looks to me like she intends to take Mew back, by figurative force if need be. Meaning she feels like someone who wants to posses Mew, rather than make Mew happy. (Run for the hills, Mew! Just make sure you take Donut with you.)

Honestly, though, this is probably the least cringeworthy outcome I can think of. Which means it's off the list. A shame, really. Every 'shocking twist' this story tries to pull off just doesn't work, because those twists mainly consist of characters that you don't particularly care about dying. Going for something like "Hahaha! That was just a ruse! When I said 'it's a game', I literally meant that it's a game!" would actually be somewhat interesting, even if a bit lame and... probably done before.

It has been done before (of course). One example I can immediately think of is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle by CLAMP the Country of Outo arc starting in volume 5 (not yuri). After going through several days of effort, they finally learn that they were just playing a video game all that time. Of course people weren't being randomly killed off all over the place in that one. But a few were being attacked and I don't remember if any died. (Video game death of course.)

Quoting myself. Spoiler bar removed.

Ah, I'm torturing myself. I took a closer look at the next two chapters. I promise this is the only black bar I'll put up, but I couldn't resist. If a bunch more start appearing, I'll come back and delete my own post.

Just a very small spoiler: == The scenario in chapters 3 and 4 closely resembles one in Battle Royale, but it suddenly veers wide at the end, though it may merge with another. I'm not saying which scenarios. == May this post explode in a small fireworks display if this generates black bar land.

My own impression is that chapters 3 and 4 were specifically written to imitate the lighthouse arc in Battle Royale. Except that as they were just beginning to fall apart, they were slaughtered from without before they could self destruct. I also think the chainsaw team is playing the role of that gang guy who was hunting down and killing everyone he could in Battle Royale right up to the end.

By the way, this has caught up to the current Yuri Hime issue, so I no loner have any inside information.

All my doki dokis.

Is there an extra for this in http://dynasty-scans.com/anthologies/true_true ?

yes

No there isn't.

Yes there is.

It's listed in the description (in Japanese) as one of the ones that hasn't been scanlated yet. (The last one on the list with the word after in it.) Hopefully Yuri Project will do it sometime relatively soon.

wasn't there another tale called Tsunderella? and no, it's not about that lucky star OVA

http://www.lililicious.net/projectDet.php?id=72

They claimed to have translated but I can't find it anywhere

Look at the page you linked to again. They don't say they have scanlated it, they say that they will scanslate it (they haven't yet). When they get it done, I'm sure they'll put a link to it on that same page with the other links to the ones they've done.

version Z:
Yu-Ji turns into a zombie and attacks Seol-a, but gets batted by No-rae

Unwelcome Standard Plot Twist Device #47 version b:

Yu-ji faked her death and when she finds out how much it bothered Seol-a, she'll come back to try to steal her from No-rae, creating Love Triangle type 32 version d.

Ah, excuse me. Just a bad joke; I'm not saying anything is cliche.

btw may as well ask this here, does anyone know what issues of Yuri Hime th is was in, so they can be tagged with them?

It starts with 46.

I took it upon myself to add these chapters to the correct volumes again, since I was looking at this anyway.

Pacing is horrible. Development is forced as hell. And Grenade has 1m radius blast?

I'm no expert, but aren't grenades made to spew shrapnel, not explosive force? Even if a person's on the far side of the room, they'd still probably be badly hurt.

Sigh...
People coming into this series knowing they won't like, then get even more butthurt when they get what they expected, then feel the urge to let out their frustration here.

Ah, you're right (about me anyway). I read chapter 2; that was stupid of me.

I've been extremely curious about you for a while, as you scanlated so many things practically on your own.
Are you fluent in Japanese? Where are you from? What made you start doing this? You mentioned that you were curious about this present series but not enough to take the effort to read it in Japanese, so does reading Japanese take a lot of effort for you? Does it take you a lot of time to scanlate?

Answering in order, I am not fluent in Japanese, I did study Japanese in college for a few years, but my actual reading vocabulary is on the small side, but that's what online dictionaries are for. Plus I've purchased close to a dozen dictionaries and language references over the years. I am from Kansas in the USA.

I started doing this simply because I had purchased "Her World" in Japanese and I wanted to be able to read it in English. (It was even harder for me to read Japanese at that time.) I translated about the first half and kept playing with the idea of producing a scanlation. Then I had the chance to get a copy of some old software that could handle the editing, and started experimenting with a different chapter and eventually released it through Dynasty. Some here will remember that fiasco. WeatheredPeach gave me a lot of help on improving my editing, and over time I like to believe I've improved my translations.

Yes it is difficult for me to sit down and read Japanese. In addition to having a relatively small reading vocabulary, it takes more attention and focus to read much of what I do have than with English.With most manga if I give it that focus, I'll get a pretty fair idea of most of what's going on, but unless I take the time to look things up I'll miss a lot. The most effective way for me to read Japanese thoroughly is to transcribe what I don't immediately understand into the computer and then use computer resources. I have a program call rikaikun that will give me definitions of Japanese words just by doing a mouse over, so the only time I spend much time with a word is if rikaikun doesn't know it or if it's definition is suspect. And my reading vocabulary is slowly growing.

Yes it takes time to scanlate. I consider it my hobby. It takes a lot of time for most people to scanlate. I don't know how I compare to others, but I know I take less than half the time I used to, and that's still improving. And of course it depends heavily on the material I'm doing. Some pages it can take a long time just to do the editing, say there's a complex redraw I can't get out of, or there is a large quantity of highly varied lettering, or the page was damaged for some reason and has to be repaired. Other times it may take some time to figure out complex sentences. My usual method is to take each page and do any redraws needed, clean it, translate it and letter it in that order, then go on to the next page. Sometimes translating it really is as simple as just looking at it and reading it. Once I've done the whole chapter, I go back over the translation in detail to work out any problems, find any errors and polish the translation. Then I usually get help to QC it. The fastest I've ever done a page is 8 minutes. the slowest, even after throwing out when I was first starting... Well there was a reason for the four month gap in releases when I was working on chapter two of Secret of the Princess. A few pages had taken me over 3 hours each, and I got discouraged and stopped working on it for quite a while. That was because of redraws, a lot of text, and I didn't have either rikaikun or an OCR program then; it takes time to look up Kanji in a physical dictionary, especially when you haven't yet learned how most of the radicals are used. When I finally got back to it, most pages went quite a bit faster, so it wasn't as bad as I thought. And as I said, I think I'm at least twice as fast now as I was then, in part because of making better use of computer resources.

Ah! A wall of text; sorry to talk your ear off.

Edit: And off topic besides. Sorry Nezchan.

Is this really serialized on Yuri Hime? I'm still on some kind of shock after forcing myself to read through, even sort of sick. I was expecting something on the line of Love/Death, but not.. this. I really don't know if I want to keep reading more at all.

Yes.

This really is serialized in Yuri Hime. I buy Yuri Hime and each of the first four chapters has caught my eye as I looked through it, since it's very different from the rest and very bloody. Every time I found it extremely disturbing, and yet I was curious about what kind of setting could produce that. But not so as curious to take the effort to read something so disturbing in Japanese. I still instantly recognized this series when I saw chapter 1.

Still don't know if I'll read chapter 2 when it comes out or if I'll run screaming for the hills instead. I am pretty sure though that this is one I'll read at most one time in my life.

Edit: And yes I now this was a rhetorical question, but I still wanted to answer it.

Since comico unlocked all the chapters, I went to read the chapter 40 overlay (bookmark version). Make sure you don't hit the bookmark early. I hit the bookmark before the page was fully loaded, then realized it and waited for it to finish loading and hit it again. The first half of the overlay worked properly, then there was a big blank space and everything was off after that. I tried reloading the page then hitting the bookmark again and got the same error.

I had to reopen comico in a new tab to fix the error. (Maybe just leaving the page and navigating back would have worked too.) The moral of this tiny story: Don't hit the bookmark too soon.
