I just caught up to the latest chapter of Boku wa Mari no naka. It's so mind-boggling. I'm placing my bet on her having split personality/ies. Could anyone recommend anymore good body-swap manga or something similar to the idea?

I'm not convinced because It's not how split personality works, at least from what I know, but I don't deny possibility
. Do you prefer another mind fuck or something lighter?

Yori is delusional as fuck, she was all HEY MARI WHATS UP SIS just a few chapters ago, i'm sure that as long as a part of Mari remains there she'll be fine with it

Yea. That is what I meant.

And Boku wa Mari no Naka chapter 54 is out and I think we officially have yuri route now, Mari says she loves Yori and want to search together for a true home for both of them, but I don't think it's going to end for some time so it still have chance to not end in yuri , but I really doubt that will happen.

I have mixed feelings about that chapter. Technically you could call it yuri but Yori loves Mari, not ""whoever is in Mari right now" and Komori never was close to anyone so I'm not sure he truly loves her. I think he just thinks he loves her because she is the only person close to him. I think they both are just confused. For now, I'll see what happens next.

Dammit Shouko, if you're going to shoot guns at people. at least do it properly, none that "gangsta style" bullshit.

Insert compiled image of Japanese mangakas having no idea how to hold a gun

That image is comedy gold, too bad Im on my tablet.

It's a kill shot

I liked entire series. I thought every chapter was funny and that final one make me laugh at how they acted like normal shoujo characters for a sec, only to turn to psychos anyway. I thought it was really good and sweet way to end this series.

Is there any significance to these chapters ending in おわり instead of つづく? I got real concerned when I saw it on the last page of ch4, until I went back and realized they all had it.

おわり owari means over/end. It usually implies that it's end of series, but can be use just to indicate end of chapter as well.
つづく tsudzuku means to continue which in this case just means our standard to be continued.

Laws are constantly broken in manga. Especially in ecchi ones. If we start here, I don't see any end in sight.

This. And I would add that pretty much every fictions, be it movies, comics, novels, manga, anime and so on, casually break some law at some point.

Even slice of life, yeah. Because most of the time, the characters are criminally cute !

So its ok to rape. Ok, I got that.

That must be a pretty darn strict country, since it's legal everywhere in America to marry even your straight-up cousins. Some unnamed states even encourage it.

Finally. I think I got that sorted out. I mixed things with degree of relation and degree of cousin (if you can say that.) So from what I got in my country you can marry anyone who is in second degree of relation to you, except for your siblings. So you can marry your first cousin. Things gets weird when you are christian, because church doesn't allow you to marry anyone below forth degree of relation, so only forth cousin for you. Good thing I'm a atheist, though it doesn't matter since gay marriage is illegal in my country anyway, so I'm still screwed but I digress ;x

Miku...I don't know what to feel about her quite yet. I don't think she'd treat Anna good one bit...she'd just be a "best friend in crime" type. Ema I think actually fits quite well with her imho. But there's always development to go ofc.

I don't mind Ema, but she just didn't charm me yet. For now, I think that actually relationship with Ema wouldn't be good for Anna. Miki didn't show that much personality, so it's hard to judge her, but comparing to Ema, I still like her more.

Anna gets squeamish about it, but she doesn't seem to mind it one bit, so while it's technically sexual harassment, Anna doesn't seem to suffer from what that does to girls/women (make them uncomfortable because of the way they're body is put on a sexual pedestal of sorts). I suppose if they do end up having sex in the future, it'd also be technically statutory, but Anna wouldn't go out and complain to the police because there'd be consent and mutually informed feelings involved.

I would disagree with that. Anna actually don't like what Ema is doing. She clearly told her to stop. It wasn't like she thought to herself that she liked it, but is embarrassed about it. She was annoyed by Ema's behavior. Similar with make-up etc. to me it's more Anna just giving up and going along with Ema than actual consent. She could report that to police, but then what? She would go back to her parents (which she stated, she doesn't want) so she thinks the only option for her is going along with Ema's pranks. Unless Ema makes her fall in love, all she does is pushing herself on Anna and taking advantage of her. There wasn't really any positive development between them. Only Anna thinking "it can't be helped".

I can't believe how some people get so serious about the blood relationship or whether it's statutory rape or not between fictional characters. There's worse here than Age 15. Crotch sniffing between cousins is rather tame and there's some comedic value to it.

I'm not getting serious about anything. We discuses it because it was brought up in manga as important plot point. I agree that there was no point analyzing if it would be statutory rape or not. Rape is rape and it doesn't change a fact, that Ema's behavior is on the edge on breaking law. I really hate argument that "you can't think about stuff if it's about fictional characters". So what if there are worse things in other mangas, we aren't talking about them. Crotch sniffing might be tame or comedic, but in context, it's actually pretty dangerous. So if you don't want to join the discussion, at least don't criticize it with your "there is no point in getting invested" attitude.

Why Censored the word Pokemon?
Is not Like Nintendo will care about some random mention
Also, I think this manga had decent chance to get a anime, had the humor that japs like and the fetish that they like too

It's pretty common in mangas from what I saw. I think it's more "just in case" thing. You could say it's free publicity, not sure how it works and maybe there are some issues with that. I can imagine, for example, that Nintendo could want money for using their name or some crap like that.

This was such sweet chapter~

Chantelune

Woah, that TooruxKana panel was kinda hot. O_O

It wasn't "kinda" hot. It was ultra hot xD

KcaT

Now I want to know what the artist isnt drawing about their relationship...cuz saying yes then stripping isnt normal dragon-maid behavior... is it o.O
Lol

I think that was just Tooru's misunderstanding what kind of "reward" she was going to get.

Energy restore skill by sniffing girl crotch, acquired.

BTW. I was pretty sure she started licking her at first, but she only nestled down. Ema seriously keeps me on edge xD

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/age_15_ch02#25

I DON'T understand why this act would be condoned from a "stranger" I don't get it at all

Because Anna is taking pity on Ema after what happened yesterday. Ema was sexually harassing Anna before anyway and was ultra in your crotch with a lot of stuff already so I take it as sign that Anna just gave up.

Nez and I tend to either have super deep and philosophical banter or we talk about the most random shit.

Isn't that like all discussions on the forums?

FTFY

There was another chapter?!

Other group translated ch. 30 Quality of raws and translation is low, but you can get the grasp. I already read it in japanese so I don't really mind waiting for better scanlation (which is on hiatus again ;/)

Nina Crepaldi

This is a good one, i don't know why but i hope the senpai is the one going after and not being loved back, at least for now.

That would be interesting...and the title almost gives that that's what will happen

This is exactly what happened. You can read chapter 3 here.

KatzeDerNacht

why would she press her face against her cousin/stranger/whatever to recharge...recharge ecchi on girl's panties?

Taking advantage of your kind-sorta-maybe-cousin because you just broke up with your girlfriend and you need to fill your "void". Makes perfect sense to me.

Yuri Girl 1001

If your parents are siblings, you are cousins.
If your parents are cousins, you are 2nd cousins.
If your parents are 2nd cousins, you are 3rd cousins. And so on.

Already knew that.

"Ah, but what am I to my cousin's child?"
Now it starts sounding weird; they call that cousin once removed (one generation later). Your grandparent is their great grandparent.
"Them what am I to my parent's cousin?"
Still cousin once removed. It doesn't matter which party is one generation later.
"What about my 3rd cousin's grandchild?"
Now it becomes 3rd cousin twice removed (two generations later).

Didn't understand a thing (maybe cos I'm not native + it's late, but w/e)

Thanks for effort anyway x3

Edit: Also whether or not it should be called incest, I think just about everywhere in the world you can marry your 2nd cousin. Are there any exceptions?

I'm pretty sure in my country you can marry only from your 3rd cousin and so on, because at this point you're almost not blood related hence it's barely a incest, but it was ages since I heard that so I might remembering it wrong.

Anyway, I pretty much like it so far. Ema worries me a little. If she was any more drunk in this chapter, she might actually raped Anna and while I'm not 100% against this kind of development (depends how it's done) I really would hate it here. I'm not sure yet who I ship more Anna x Ema or Anna x Miki. Both looks compelling so far, though I guess I like Miki more.

I liked the thing with Anna not feeling comfortable being seen by other girls and my guess is that it's because she is a lesbian (I know, big shock. it's yuri so it should be obvious, but it wasn't stated yet so everything is still up in air). I know she might be just shy, but even she is annoyed by it and is clearly interested in woman's body, so I think she unconsciously acts like a lesbian, even if she herself isn't aware of that.

Anyone else noticed random "spoon is too big" XD?

I got no questions XD

Sorry, but what this "Story S" thing means ^ ^"?

I see everyone agrees with me for once. Average story. All bullet points were hit and it ended with standard suggestion that "something will come out of it". It was pretty meh.

Shlick with it!

No dice I'm afraid. Thanks for the sentiment though. ;-;

pat pat I'll support you mentally then. sending positive thoughts

I'm pretty sure there is one where girl saves alien or something and it messed with her brain making her ultra aroused + having esp power in return. Here is your nightmare fuel. You're welcome xD

I was gonna sleep tonight... ;-;

I'll snuggle with you if that helps ;P (only if you're a girl though)

Usually, I would agree something that outlandish was funny.

JKP scarred me though. Right in the brain. The only part of the body not touched in his manga, that I've seen. I think?

ChocolateCakeLover

but why did Ran cut her hair.. I really hate it when long haired girls cut their hair short..

Agreed. Though I don't think this one was too bad.

It depends, but I prefer long hair too, so when they cut them after time skip, I'm usually disappointed. I like when the reverse happen though.

On the other hand John K. Peta is too hardcore xD And I don't really like so unrealistic porn ;P

Too hardcore doesn't begin to describe it.

Ridiculously fucked up?

Bdsm setting wasn't bad idea, but it was way too tame (kinda like 50 shades movie, most hardcore thing was whipping hard, oh noes!). I guess girls from prestigious schools aren't stressed that much ;P

not hardcore enough?
