When I type "poly" in the search it doesn't bring up anything, is that just on my end? When I type just "angst" the "aaaaaangst" tag appears for example.

Ah! Should be fixed now. Thanks.

All chapters have had a slight makeover courtesy of noighd. You may need to clear your browser cache to see the updated versions. Thanks so much to them for their dedication, and keeping us updated on it!

No commission necessary, we'll do it for free, but yeah the scanning of physical raws is annoying work.

Hi - I wanted to ask if something like this is acceptable quality?
Tried to make it as flat as possible because I don't think I want to take apart the book.. sorry :(

Hey, thanks so much for your work on this! I promised I'd help Urbs on the physical end so I'll give a brief reply here.

The flat is great. The size (1926 x 3005) of the image is great too. Couple things that would be really great:

-Is it possible to scan these as grayscale, in .png format or .tiff format?
-If no, is it possible for the .jpeg format to be set at 90-100 quality while scanning?

If no to all of the above, these scans are perfectly usable and we'd do our best to brush them up as much as possible! Thanks so much for your offer and (please(!)) be careful with your book!

This is Doujin of the Year material. God-tier work all around. Thanks so much for your work and sharing it with us!

Okay well now I'm dying with curiosity???

Something happened in there that was so bad that it had to be sealed like a cursed tomb???

(ty for the followup pekoe! <3)

This has roused my interest as well. Normally, even if theres the tag that must not be mentioned here (het) people tend to just get banned. But what could possibly cause such kind of fall out, that the whole area must be isolated?

As far as i know, there was not a lot of comments of a while in the thread, since there was not a lot of update and the story is kinda silly/wholesome so there is not room for drama honestly.

Just makes what did happen all the more harrowing to consider......

Comfy

Also, I wonder why this story isn't tagged bisexual?

Honestly that is a super good question. I'm really surprised we didn't get any discussion or suggestions like that prior...I will have to think about it.

This is maybe out of the blue, but the forum page for Sweet Dreams in the Demon Castle is inaccessible for some reason? For me, at least, it says "You do not have permission to access this page. Please make sure you are logged in and try again."

(https://dynasty-scans.com/series/sweet_dreams_in_the_demon_castle)

and the forum link:
(https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/11539-sweet-dreams-in-the-demon-castle-discussion)

For the time being, the thread is locked and hidden. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully I’ll be able to have better news on that soon!

You didn't answer my question, though. What's the plan if I'm right and this series has been dropped? And I give it to about April, May at the latest when we'll all be sitting on 11 untranslated chapters. So excuse me if I just read the author's Twitter, import the volumes and never post here again and keep the story to myself. I've seen this situation more than enough times to know where it's headed.

My response above covers that same situation.

you'll have to continue waiting, and continue using spoiler tags.

Hsr2008 posted:

Not saying it's dropped yet, just that it's possible. You do have a point about one month. All I'm saying is there needs to be a plan just in case it happens. I just want to be able to discuss this series without constantly having to use spoiler tags instead of waiting on translations all the time. This is why I'm learning Japanese.

Sorry, you'll have to continue waiting, and continue using spoiler tags. Given the season, I would not be surprised to see a few more weeks going by without a release. Let's be respectful and give the scanlators the time and space they deserve.

Best of luck in your studies, though!

So really at worst the parents can press her to break up with their daughter (as long as both deny having crossed any lines) until she turns 18, after which they can simply do what they want. I believe there is no way you can contradict this assessment and that's the only thing I have actually asserted. To avoid this becoming too repetitive, let us just drop it, shall we?

Yeah, it's not ideal to continue going through circles on what is highly likely a tertiary topic to the actual manga. I'd appreciate if the topic was dropped. Thanks.

Ok using a Chinese friend I have access to raws if anyone is craving more I can send you up to chapter 33.

I'm also translating them but jsyk it's machine translated with a bit of research for better translations on certain parts, so nuanced and colloquial meanings may be overlooked.

I finished chapter 23 rn and I wonder if there's any chance your translated strips could be uploaded in the Dynasty reader.

We will continue to wait for White Sun to continue the series here.

I've been searching for this. Thank you.

Edit: By the way, did the translation team drop this or something?

White Sun Scans has not dropped the series. Life happens.

If anyone's got, please do shoot me any Canaan yuri doujins (to buy or download, doesn't really matter). I'll do my best to release them someday.

Me, do your job for you?
Trop la flemme.

Rule 11 reads thus:

Homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia are grounds for immediate removal from the site.

You've come into this thread and made a very serious insinuation that could see other users removed from the site entirely. You are the third person to do so - which means I have now reviewed each post in this thread at least three times. Unlike the previous two, who left without bothering to further justify their statements, you chose to make a meaningless and disrespectful reply. I am left wondering if there was a point to any of this besides wasting even more of my time. You've been banned for a day.

The next insinuation of a specific rule violation in this thread that fails to provide any evidence will see the insinuator removed from the forums. Please stop wasting my time. Thank you.

Hello, I am new around here. I would like to submit some images. Can anyone walk me through the process?

Sure. Click the dropdown arrow by your username, and select Upload Request, like so:

Leave non-applicable fields blank. If you have multiple requests of a similar theme, you may combine them into one. There's no limit to the amount of requests you may make, but please try not to suggest ~500 at once. Good luck!

You skipped over Nari's posts, that's fine. Several others chose to respond to Nari. As discussion is presumably one of the goals of having a forum, Nari's posts have "added" plenty.

I don't know if you'll find this useful, but quoting Wikipedia:

Sure. I'll condense your post to only the parts which concern me.

The massive wall of text (MWOT) often appears in disputes and bombards you with so much information and underhanded hostility that it's almost impossible to keep up without replying with one of your own.

I believe the onus of a reply is always on the one replying. While some folks find it very difficult to do so and I sympathise with that to a degree, the act and contents of any given post ultimately lie with the one making it. To the contrary too, I found several of the replies perfectly respectful, constructive and succinct.

underhanded hostility

Thinly-veiled personal attacks

If you're able to point out either of these things happening in Nari's posts, I am here.

Mwots here take bi-poly ways irl, judge them then use them to condemn this story. Not cool.

If you're able to point out specific examples of Nari - or anyone else - using this story or its actors to judge real people for their romantic or sexual orientations, I am here.

Thank you.

Eh, it was short and funny. That goes a long way in making a comment tolerable.
The "discussion at hand" you speak of is mostly made of Nari's huge walls of text expounding on the goods and evils of bisexuality and polyamory. I stopped reading them after page 1, now I just skip over them. And I suspect I'm not the only one, it's likely many readers do the same. But then, can we really say these MWOTs add much to anything?

It was short, rude and quite off-topic. I imagine the humour found in it is only applicable to those who agreed with its message. You skipped over Nari's posts, that's fine. Several others chose to respond to Nari. As discussion is presumably one of the goals of having a forum, Nari's posts have "added" plenty.

Akiji posted:

And in the same way, if you don't like Blastaar's posts disputing the relevance of such MWOTs, you are free to use that selfsame solution. No need for OrangePekoe to personally step in just to say shut up.

One of the unfortunate realities of being a mod is the expectation that I know and enforce the rules where I see them being violated. So I'm sorry, but your suggestion doesn't really work out in practice. In this instance, I would cite rules 1 and 9:

Being overly aggressive, insulting, or generally a jerk is against the rules.

Off-topic posting and conversation should generally be kept to a minimum...Users are encouraged to visit the Dynasty Cafe, where you will be able to talk about any subject you like.

The rules are always available for review and discussion here, and the Help thread is always open.

Just got the new chapter. Not going to spoil it. All I can say was "OMG". Fuuko is a psycho. It seems that she record and took pictures as pften as possible concernng Yuni. She is beyond a stalker/ More like Fatal Attraction without the klling...Anyay, the end of this chapter .. makes my jaw drops.

Even so, some will consider that a spoiler. Use spoiler tags in the future with == . Quote me to see how if needed: Like this.

Super nice to read something that feels simultaneously fresh and quite vintage :)

Nari posted:

FOR REAL. That's why it's also unfair to but all the blame on Risa(I kinda did that in the start) but it seems like this is a relationship where both aren't trying to understand one another. And Yuka is also being too much of a pushover, and decided that she wants to be with Risa even if it hurts her. That is frustrating!!

Nari, while I appreciate your enthusiasm for the discussion, I'd appreciate if you grouped your quotations together rather than spreading them across 4-5 posts made at roughly the same time. It'd also be good to not stray too far from the topic at hand, if it can be helped. Thanks.

Blastaar posted:

The "function" was to express my opinion about the relevance of much of the discussion, just as those who had strongly expressed opinions about polyamory, bisexuality, about the "horribleness" of the characters, etc. seemed to have free rein to do.

Sure. This is a thread for the manga Not Black, Not White. Folks wishing to discuss the story and the ideas presented therein are welcome to do so here. Those other posts you mentioned all appear to have centered around the story, its themes, and its actors. The post of yours I cited, by comparison, was concerned only with the actions of people here. Not in a way that's easily tolerable, either - at least twice in this thread you've been notably dismissive and rude to large groups of posters on these forums, without adding much to the actual discussion at hand.

I'd appreciate in the future if comments of either nature are kept to a minimum. Thanks.

This doesn't even have anything to do with the normal stuff you rant about, not liking people moralising about fiction or whatever.
We're talking about a manga literally named after the scumbag character being a scumbag, and you're suggesting that this is not only completely fine but normal in real life. I have no problem with the manga because it says what it is on the tin, it's just weird that you're saying you steal from your parents IRL and have a clean conscience about it.

Yeah...your three posts here had precisely nothing to do with the manga, and seemingly a lot to do with your personal vendetta against another poster. Don't use the forums for this in the future. It's a waste of time and surely a violation of rule 1. This is your one warning.

Rules may be reviewed here at any time. Thanks.

Yeah, thanks so much to sgn for picking this up and allowing us to host it here! Really off-beat humour, highly enjoyable read.
