I also can't help but feel that this will deserve the subtext tag sooner rather than later...

This runs in one of the few magazines I follow, so I read it casually. I don't follow it all that closely, but in my experience so far it doesn't really get all that subtexty.

Though I'm sure plenty of people will be able to find some somewhere.

You should tag this chapter with a warning that it's got two large cocks depicted.

Yeah, when you're in kana input your keypresses don't directly register to the program - in fact nothing registers as pressed until you confirm the conversion. So keyboard shortcuts tend to not work.

As for how you keep ending up in it, the windows shortcut to change IME is alt+shift, both of which are very common in photoshop shortcuts.

It actually can affect keyboard shortcuts, as well, with your keypresses appearing in a box in the top left instead of registering directly until you switch back to direct alphabet input.

I mean, lately it seems like no matter how minor a thing it is, it will spark a huge argument around here.

Do you perhaps have multiple keyboard IMEs and are accidentally switching to one that does not directly input the alphabet (such as, perhaps, Japanese kana conversion)?

Yuri Kuma Arashi... wasn't an adaptation.

I'm not very optmistic about it, but I've still gotta be curious abouy Breath of Fire VI.

Oh, and of course the new idolmaster.

Edit: Oh shit right, tokyo necro came out last week. I'm already behind.

It will come up once more.

Well, they do eventually offer a possible explanation for why you only see girls.

Among the various store-specific bonuses are secondary covers containing either Nene x Umiko or Aoba about to molest someone.

Edit: Also, he posted a clean version of the regular volume cover on pixiv

I could spoil every single chapter out so far but I don't since I figure most people would rather see for themselves.

I don't really care for that mentality, especially when the reaction is so severe. It reminds me of, say, all those years ago when those people burned their copies of Kannagi as a protest. Honestly, I think those extreme mentalities can be damaging to the industry as a whole.

But this thread will surely not end well.

I see, like telamon said it was lakely the same in the raw, I expected that, I just felt like asking cause it's not something you see much, so I couldn't help but wonder if it was indeed like that, I agree a translation note is probably not necessary, although some people still don't know the meme it's not hard to see it in other doujins here on Dynasty so I guess it's not really a problem, thanks for the fast reply mogulTL, you're from Doki right?

Yes.

Sakura Trick seems to have had two volumes released during 2015. Like pretty much every other instance of this, the more recent one ranked much higher.

Volume 6 is 77th and volume 5 is 113th.

It is like that in the Japanese, too. http://i.imgur.com/31VT96t.png

It's purposely cut off because he doesn't want to explicitly say they had sex, just imply it.

It didn't seem like the kind of thing that needed a translation note. It didn't seem that difficult to understand.

It's referencing a Japanese meme of sorts that goes "この後、無茶苦茶セックスした" (After that, they had tons and tons of sex).

Fun fact: this series was voted #5 in the new series category for 4koma of the Year 2015. Probably about the only other series relevant to here is Custom Maid at #10.

The existing series category is pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

yuyushiki is relevant. I'm surprised it ranked so high.

I meant of the newcomer category. A good portion of the ongoing series category is relevant.

There's a website that holds an internet poll every year to pick the top 10 4koma manga releases each year, and 2015's results have been announced.

The top 10 in the newcomer category (newly-started series whose first volume released in 2015):

1. "Machikado Mazoku" by Itou Izumo
2. "Kyou no Noruma-san" by Fukasaka Emi
3. "Nomijoshi" by Ukatsu
4. "Nakahara-kun no Kahogo na Imouto" by Hoppege
5. "Swap⇔Swap" by Tomekichi
6. "Blend S" by Nakayama Miyuki
7. "Kamisama to Quintet" by Oshioshio
8. "Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-san" by Nekoume
9. "School Architect" by Kikai
10. "Custom Maid" by Tachitsu Tetsuko

The top 10 in the ongoing series category (ongoing series that had a new volume released in 2015):

1. "Yuyushiki (volume 7)" by Mikami Komata
2. "Hakoiri Drops (volume 4)" by Tsurusaki Yuu
3. "Hidamari Sketch (volume 8)" by Aoki Ume
4. "Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? (volume 4)" by Koi
5. "Slow Start (volume 2)" by Tokumi Yuiko
6. "Star Mine (volume 6)" by stroma
7. "Kiniro Mosaic (volume 6)" by Hara Yui
8. "New Game (volume 2)" by Tokuno Shoutarou
9. "Shimekiri Gohan (volume 2)" by Konishi Aki
10. "Hitsugi Katsugi no Kuro (volume 5)" by Kiyuzuki Satoko

The ongoing series category is almost exactly what you'd expect, though there are a couple titles that I am a bit surprised aren't on it (A-channel's down at #17, it seems).

The newcomer list surprises me a bit because while I enjoy Machikado Mazoku, I wouldn't place it as the best of the year. I also don't think School Architect is anywhere near as good as a lot of others seem to. I do really enjoy Blend S so I am happy to see it there, but it's het so probably not of much interest to most here.

Pretty much every major release is somewhere on the full listing. Name a series you're curious about and I'll look for it for you.

(Yes it's basically nothing more than a popularity poll, but I still find it interesting. Especially in noting how many of these I've read (way too many))

Fun fact: this series was voted #5 in the new series category for 4koma of the Year 2015. Probably about the only other series relevant to here is Custom Maid at #10.

The existing series category is pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

You mean they don't come standard with being part of the site staff?!

Yeah, but she also constantly gets shut down. I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for her.

Have fun with the 10 month hiatus before the next chapter.

what
are you serious

No, there's two chapter releases that haven't been posted here yet and still one chapter left in the volume.

After that, though, yeah, it may be a while.

I mean, it HAS ended, technically. The author has a new series, like I said.

(I know you mean the translation.)

I dunno if this is a proper place to put this but Hijiki's got a new serialization called Ayakashiko, volume 1 of which just came out recently. It's about a bunch of youkai girls that live in a shared house and the human high school girl landlord. It's quite good, though so far it's not even the least bit yuri.
