People getting angry about het? On this site? Shocking. Unheard of.

I'd write up my own little essay on why you're being ridiculous and toxic to artists, but honestly, I lost the patience to do so after the thousandth time I did it. Just calm down, okay?

I love Canno, I love this series, what a great ending for volume one, I can't wait for volume two, and the kissing was just nice, amazing

I can't help feeling it would have been better if the translators had simply omitted the volume 2 announcement, given how many false expectations it's raised...

Considering it's not on a seperate page I think they did the right thing. It's either that or omit the text entirely, but (I assume) it's in the original, so it makes sense to leave it be.

There are few things in life you can be certain will always remain the same. Yuri readers being the some of the hardest people on earth to convince that two anime girls might actually be in a relationship is one of those things.

Another one is that I'll show up at some point to make yet another unfunny quip about it. But I prefer to call that "being reliable".

Kougi delivers.

^^It's a LN title. They probably would've made it longer if they could fit it on the cover.

I definitely thought she was gonna make a dirty joke about riding her. This is even better.

I feel like this joke was made especially for me. El's deadpan expression in panel 4 is truly excellent.

Byleth is just a good girl who wants to make her wife happy.

Did Lin Luxi pretend sleep because she's starting to get teary but actually fell asleep ?

I assumed it was an "I don't want to talk about this" thing.

Oh, btw, last page? I foresee a terrible misunderstanding, hehehe.

Yeah that's about what I expect too. Or at least thinking that Tong Tong is asking about herself rather than a friend.

Jitomi Monoe reached 100K subscribers while doing a Getting Over It endurance stream. After 25 hours of streaming she finally Got Over It, and now sits at 101K subs!

I didn't catch the TakaMori streams. I'm gonna have to watch them tomorrow.
...I've got way too many things to watch. I still haven't even watched ID gen 2's debut streams which I've been meaning to do since... since they debuted, I guess. Such is the curse of the vtuber rabbit hole.

I've watched some of Reine's streams, though (since they're often at convenient times for me). She just finished a Fall Guys stream with Sora that was very wholesome. Most of her streams I've caught have been talk streams of one sort or another. She has the air of someone who spends a lot of time with children, like a teacher or a day-care worker.

Which is perfect for handling the chat. ba dum tish

The Haato x Haachama concert for those who missed it: https://youtu.be/Bd8j1znnnFE

Don't hold your breath for someone else to save it. My understanding is that he asks people not to do that. It's possible that because of the Disney music he always sings he doesn't want to risk anything happening. Disney is known to be rather... "protective" of their IP after all... It's such a shame too, because I really wanted to share some of it. :(

Which is weird. Multiple people saved Suisei singing Let it go no problem.

Well, I haven't checked to see if someone saved any of it. I was guessing the reason might be Disney, but it could be that he doesn't want people saving them for other reasons. Was the stream Suisei sang Let It Go unarchived? I feel like I've still seen it up.
I really dunno though, Japanese IP law seems really jank to my American perspective.

SMOK playing ultimate chicken horse again: https://youtu.be/6sB9OF1vxKk
Freaking gold.

They finally accepted that SM's OK, have they? :P

Damn it! I missed it! I'll wait for the unofficial archive, Suisei did a second one too with same songs as the 1st one.

Less TakaMori than expected but the bed vid gave me diabetes.

Yes! watch the Holo x Niji among us collab! Anya's pov is probably the most EN friendly since she's speaking some english.

Akai Haato and Haachama are doing a karaoke EN gen0 rn. No archive
This is some JJBA level shit right here. I hope clippers are ready.
Amazing! Subaramazing!

It's pretty unlikely that you would have perfectly symmetric attraction among 3 people.

Now, you would like all of them to be "yes, poly is a thing I'm good with", and then they could work out whatever configuration worked, triangle or V or whatever

But they're 15, give or take a year, and even Rin hasn't had the idea that polyamory is a thing she can dream of and hope for. So yeah, they'll have to stumble into it and figure things out. Maybe Akira will end up fleeing, maybe attraction will mature all around, maybe one of the legs will break to form a V rather than triangle.

It would be nice to actually see some of all that, but oh well, short manga for whatever reason.

Yeah, these are my thoughts as well. I was hoping to see more of the series for these exact reasons. But, as you said, short manga. ¯\ (ツ)/¯

I just noticed the little question marks by Calli. And her sorta confused face like "...how the heck did this even happen?"

But if there’s one thing that REALLY bothers me, it’s Akira. She was a real bitch and I don’t feel like we got enough time to forgive her.

I think it's more that we didn't get enough time to understand her. Out of the three of them she got by far the least attention. Most of her character development was "I love Rin and want her to myself" switching to "I love Rin and Mayuki." Sadly, we had no time for that.

RIP this manga... :C

I can't say I'm surprised it went the way it did after the news that it was stopping. I can't complain too much, because at the very least I got the ending I hoped for (more or less). There was a certain undertone of "Ehhhh. Fine. Mayuki can come too if she really has to... I guess..." that was suddenly, inexplicably (and disappointingly) changed to "Yay, I love Rin and Mayuki very, very much!". But time constraints being what they were, that was fairly inevitable to reach this conclusion.

That said, it almost feels as if it would have been fine to end it with Akira only accepting it. "I don't exactly want it to be this way, but it makes Rin happy... I'm close with Mayuki as well, so if it makes her happy too then that's good." I know a lot of people probably wouldn't like that, though. In my experience people prefer an ending where everyone is 100% happy, lovey dovey, etc. Any by "prefer an ending" I really mean "throw a fit if it isn't the ending".

Of course, the first page of the series wouldn't be able to exist if that were the case. (Which, incidentally, I predicted would be the way it ends if it really was getting axed... It's a great relief to know that I'm not always wrong. :P) But perhaps, in another world, the manga could have continued, and that "acceptance" could eventually change into something that matches up with it. (And that would honestly be my preferred scenario.)

No point in discussing what-ifs, I guess, but it's something I would have liked to see.

With all that said, I am SUPER-DUPER 100% ALL FOR that idea of an "An In-depth Manual to Advanced Love Triangles (To Get into College!)" slice of life sequel. That would be dope as hell.

I'm pretty sure Noel would prefer this over it happening to Flare.

But damn, her new design really does attack all my weakpoints. I don't think they could have made her more attractive if they tried.

As expected of our Elite Miko.

Is it just me or do they both look really good in shorts?

Like... really good.

I'm so glad this got uploaded. I was thinking of suggesting it myself, but I never got around to doing it.

Who in HololiveEN doesn't qualify for this though?
...maybe that's why Ame has 4 girlfriends...

Is mostly internet boards (ie 4chan, a bit of reddit) the ones that have a seething hate for Kiara, Twitter is pretty chill for the most part.

Ah. That part of the internet. I'm even more glad I don't inhabit those spaces.

Anyways, the Homiemoon is going to kill us with an overflow of Takamori. I'm just catching up with Calli's release party stream and my shipper heart is getting overwhelmed by all the cute moments of background Kiara teasing Calli.

I've been looking forward to this. Reddit is gonna go into overdrive making memes.

The TakaMori is fine too, I guess. ;P

^^^^^I remember seeing a different clip of that. It was Watame discovering the book in that one. The difference in their reactions is great, and very... like them.

^What? I have no idea what you're talking about, why would a wal
