Assertive Madoka is best Madoka! Always leaves me smiling like an idiot.

Less Chuu ch1, pages 8 and 20 (7-19) were slightly changed in the translation by scanner, nothing too serious, just some wording, here is the pages that were changed:

Thanks, fixed now (you may have to clear your cache before you can see the changes).

Reisen's assertive face at the top of page 13 is wonderful.

I like this pairing, too.

Thought I should just mention that.

Thank you, this has been fixed.

Wow. Chapter 6...And then all the other chapters got really short. I won't say anything, anyway...

Everything released is now up, courtesy of Toasty Scans. I do believe we're expecting Chapter 10 of this to be released this summer, and scanned shortly afterwards.

nobody is serious, we just having a discussion.

It's 4 pages, it's a comedy. a) I don't think you can judge a character based on one page of rudeness, b) the opening panels probably said more about the punchline than the characters themselves. You're welcome to stick to your opinion, in any case.

Maybe "too serious" wasn't the best way of saying it - but I'd take no more from this than I would Kuroko picking on Misaka for liking cute, childish things (assuming you know what I'm talking about based on your previous posts; if not just dismiss that analogy).

Your first statement/question is disagreeable also, im not sure what your implying or was it sarcasm?

You may take it as sarcasm - I meant nothing serious at all.

when u love someone, you not suppose to be putting clothes on them, you should be taking it off them lol :p jk

Haha, I agree with you though!

Up now. Many thanks for pointing it out.

"You're dressed terribly!" obviously means "I can't love you if you're dressed like that!", right?

Too much serious in this thread. This is pretty clearly a story of fashionable girl and clueless girl. Fashionable girl is just trying to lend a hand, you know? Out of love. Love. You don't give cute clothes away unless you love the person you're giving them to, right!?

Anyways...their date shows up in the next issue of Lilyca, though I don't believe it's been scanlated.

She gets upset about donuts, falls asleep on the couch at the end of page 47, dreams about breaking up on page 48, wakes up on 49, and eats cake afterwards.

It's a pretty simple story.

Has such a nice, warm tone. Totally different than most other MadoHomu doujinshi, at least.

Always great to see Kyuubey being nice too!

Everything should now be up.

Really no clue what to make of this series anymore. There are several side plots that Shimura won't really be able to resolve properly - which we know is her favorite thing to do - and the main couple is headed toward the most abrupt (and predictable) conclusion I can ever remember reading. With as drawn-out and expansive as the story is, it just feels strange to end it this way.

But I'm being really presumptuous. Either way, one chapter to go!

When lilicious scanlates them they will be put up.

Lililicious has dropped the series, actually. New chapters are being done on /u/. I have to fix my uploads, and as I do that I'll get the new chapters up too.

Oh, and what's the policy concerning other reader sites? I found where newer chapters are being posted, but don't want to violate any forum rules :)

In general, the best you can do is point us to the original scanlation group post (or manga updates page, and so on) using the "Upload Request" button, in the drop-down menu under your profile name. But don't do this for stuff you know is going to up anyway (like SWB).

Gotcha. Nice to have some sort of clarification on that.

Me too. Wonder if that's how the original dialog goes or merely translation mistakes.

This is essentially how the dialogue went in the original. While it can definitely come off as offensive, they are 13, and I know more than one person who was "playing around" at that age only to later realize they really did have those tendencies.

BTW, I don't see a "loli" either.

I quite literally know nothing about lolicon or how it is defined. It's tagged as such on Ex-hentai, and it was requested as a tag change within about 5 minutes of it being uploaded. Seeing as how underage (especially pre/early-pubescent) porn is often frowned upon, I do think it serves as a decent warning for anyone looking to avoid that.

In most cases, the best way to get possible tag problems noticed is to suggest a tag change - the button is in the top right, near the discussion and download options.

Yeah, I hope it was obvious my post was not to be taken too seriously. Your last bit just reminded me of Mugi for some reason. Yuri Girl pretty much said everything else.

Not that I plan on turning gay anytime soon.

You know you want to~

We have Mugi on our side. (Apologies for my lack of a hard-translated version here)

Anything longer would run too close to Morinaga's other works

Hasn't really stopped Secret Recipe, has it?

Morinaga's never done the fake relationship thing (has she?), and she doesn't write prince types. Though of course the bigger reason to want a continuation is that the story developed at a really slow pace, and didn't exactly end with a bang.

Here: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/eternal_meek_part_1

They are unrelated, but were included in the same book (As PURE/Vampire Killer usually release their collaborations).

Edit: ...same time post, I guess. They were only split up because they were done separately.

His name can be spelled two ways - Dowman Sayman or Douman Seiman. He did Voynich hotel, Nickelodeon and The End of Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War too.

Chapter 23 marked the end of serialization, while chapter 24 marked the "true end" as seen in the tank release (to my knowledge).

Continuing lots of spoilers below, by the way.

The best choice would be one that involves all of them, but I can see how an ending like that could come across as kind of forced or awkward if the artist didn't work it really well. Other than that I liked the relationship with Yuki, though that just makes it my preference, not the "best."

Ahh, that would've been great. I was really thinking Yuki was the obvious choice, given all the early signs in volume 5. Personally, I prefer Reiko...as outlined in the left-most 4-koma;

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/shitsurakuen_vol_3_omake#7

It is a good choice, but the best choice is the one that they spent the last few chapters destroying.

Curious about who the best choice was.

For some of us, the yuri or lack of it was not the central problem of the ending, but the fact that the story makes a sickening attempt to try to establish an equivalency between the male abusers and their female victims, which then has the victims forgiving, apologizing to, and even finishing in romantic relationships with their abusers at the end.

Oh absolutely. I was lucky, I suppose, as I knew the ending was going to excuse the males from the beginning (many thanks to spoiler-filled reviews). I imagine that for anyone following the series during its run, the later developments probably felt like a slap in the face.

My being thankful for the yuri end is more an indication of the fact that I could upload it, than if it had ended differently (In which case I would've wasted a few hours slogging through the second half of it).

There are so many more good expressions from him! He's kind of an excellent villain for a while.

Fixed. For whatever reason the downloaded copy switched up page numbers on me.

I love this as a comic.

What makes it better [for me] is that the artist is only fluent in Thai, but wanted to write something everyone could enjoy. Is there a better way of doing that than getting rid of text entirely?

Also, page 16. Awesome.

For anyone feeling confusion after reading it initially, feel free to check out Bakkin's interpretation below.

Prepare for tl;dr Wall-o-Text
From Bakkin's site.

The story is somewhat confusing, so I'll try to provide some background information as best as I can. Since these characters do not have names, I'll be referring to them as Ponytail Girl, Short Hair, Long Hair, and Secret Girl. I've included images of the previous issues' covers to help with the explanation.

The story begins with the first page, the January 2012 Cover (Pure Girl). We learn that the girl on the cover (Ponytail Girl) is interested in the girl in the classroom (Short Hair). On the back of the cover (page 2), we learn that Short Hair has some sort of relationship with another girl (Long Hair). Since they appear to be putting their clothes back on, it implies that these two girls had sex. On the third page, the March 2012 Cover (Precious Friends), we learn that Ponytail Girl is friends with Long Hair. Inside this volume (page 4), we see Long Hair gazing at Ponytail Girl. This either means that Long Hair has feelings for Ponytail Girl (wants to be more than just friends), or is thinking about when she had sex with Short Hair (which was performed on Ponytail Girl's desk). On the 5th page, the May 2012 Cover (Jealous Girl), we see Long Hair looking at Short Hair from a distance, with a concerned look on her face. On the back of the cover (page 6), we learn that Short Hair is in a relationship with a fourth girl (Secret Girl). On the 7th page, the July 2012 Cover (Blue Tears), we see Long Hair and Short Hair at the aquarium, presumably on a date. However, Short Hair doesn't seem interested at all, having all her attention on her cell phone. On the eighth page, the September 2012 Cover (Sound of Silence), Long Hair and Ponytail girl are at some kind of festival together. Long Hair has a surprised look on her face, because she sees Short Hair with Secret Girl (9th page). Finally, this month's issue concludes the story.

To summarize:

– Ponytail Girl has feelings for Short Hair
– Short Hair and Long Hair had sex (implying they are in a relationship); Ponytail Girl doesn't know about this
– Ponytail Girl and Long Hair are best friends (Long Hair may want to be more than just friends though)
– Short Hair and Long Hair are dating
– Short Hair is in a relationship with Secret Girl; Short Hair is cheating on Long Hair
– Ponytail Girl and Long Hair go to a festival, where they see Short Hair and Secret Girl together
– Long Hair asks Short Hair why she is still with Secret Girl (Implying that Long Hair had previously asked Short Hair to break up with Secret Girl. Whether or not this is before or after Short Hair and Long Hair started dating is up for debate)

And in the comments on the blog site, somebody expounds a bit:
Long hair liked ponytail but as they were friends (of the same sex too) she was afraid to confess and get rejected
-She was jealous of short hair because ponytail seemed to like her. Apparently ponytail used to speak about her all the time. Pay attention to this detail because it will be important later.

Short hair was already going out with secret girl

Long hair was afraid of losing pony tail so she went ahead and seduced short hair. She was successful.
-Apparently she already knew about secret girl so she blackmailed short hair into going out with her.

-This is where it starts to get shady. Why the hell would she go ahead and seduce short hair? She probably wanted to make pony tail jealous and somehow by seducing short hair she would keep pony tail for herself. She also had sex with short hair on top of ponytail's desk so it's obvious she had ill intentions.

Long hair in some kind of prolonged revenge went and told ponytail stories of how she and short hair were so lovey dovey. She knew short hair was going out with secret girl so when she saw them again together, she told her to dump her. During this time she might have or not fallen in love with short hair, it's also highly possible she wanted to keep fooling ponytail by pretending everything was ok with short hair and that they were still lovey dovey.

Long hair and ponytail went to the festival together and this is when it starts to get ugly. Secret girl calls long hair out by saying the one she was interested in pony tail, short hair reveals the “blackmail”, secret girl breaks up with short hair (pay attention: MAKING HER SINGLE), pony tail ends her friendship with long hair and we are left with a “crying” ponytail and a shorthair with a broken heart. We see a smile on ponytail's face and the story ends right there.

What does that smile mean? Ponytail obviously planned everything out. In her flashbacks we see she knew about short hair and secret girl going out. Long hair didn't know that pony tail knew about the relationship between those 2, so that's why this worked. This might be stretching it a little but we all know that smile means “just as planned”, here's how it happened:

-Ponytail likes short hair but short hair and secret girl are going out. How can she break them up without getting her hands dirty in the process?
-She has a friend and she knows that friend doesn't see her as a friend only.
-She knows that even if she is able to steal short hair, long hair is going to get in the way
-She knows her very well so she starts by purposely talking about short hair to make long hair jealous
-The plan works and long hair is now “dating” short hair
-Mysteriously, they end up going to the same festival that short hair and secret girl are attending
-A fight starts, secret girl breaks up with short hair then ponytail ends her friendship with long hair.
-Ponytail comforts short hair and smiles deviously knowing she has finally gotten what she wanted in the first place.
