Wait, Saori and Shizuku kissed? How can the author just drop that in and not show us what happened? Peak cruelty.

Ch. 18

In Chapter 4, the page labeled 005 is actually the first page of the chapter.

From the little sister's reaction, Kaori has been trying to erase her existence from her family the same way Shiuku has from hers. Thinking that that she's being kind, Kaori's been trying to put distance between herself and everyone she loves in the hope that people won't be so sad when dies. She even hid the fact that she was dying from Shizuku and wanted to pretend that she was merely going away after playing lovers for a time.

In Chapter 19, Shizuku realized how blinded she was to how many people around her loved her and worried for her and would care if she disappeared. In Chapter 20, we realize that Kaori is similarly (perhaps willfully) blind and still doing the same things that Shizuku used to.

Of course her little sister reacts like she does in this chapter. Her beloved older sister is dying and for some reason doesn't want to spend any time together. She's jealous of the one person her older sister hasn't abandoned.

Lay off the imouto, people!

Update on the email notifications: just got a notification a few hours ago. Like others above, I haven't received one in over a month. It was in my spam folder, which was weird since I've never marked one as spam.

So, anyone know what was up with that half moon demon form? Is that a reference to something, or are all creepy dolls capable of that?

"The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?"

Due to the resolution, can/has anyone translated the mirrored Latin on page 18?

Edit: Also possibly the same text (also mirrored Latin) on page 48

It's nonsense text used as a placeholder so that actual words aren't a distraction when evaluating a design.

A nice detail: the first version of the ad showed people gathered around a campfire, which would ruin their night vision. The second version showed the person in complete darkness.

This was the last place I expected to see UCLA depicted (that's Powell Library on page 40).

Took 8 years.
We got Sei "Heroine"

I'm assuming she's a distant ancestor of Hiro Protagonist.

Bah! Every time someone says "labor shortage," I hear "not willing to offer enough pay." We need more works for the Communism tag.

This brings back memories of when I dropped out of grad school and started looking for work ... in 2008 (great timing, me!). I kept a file on my computer of all the places where I applied to remind myself that I wasn't spending my days doing absolutely nothing. I deleted that file when it got depressingly long. I did have one interview somewhat similar to the last one in this chapter. Sitting across from 10 men all asking me variations of "What the hell are you doing here?" was an experience that still gets me stressed out when I remember it. Luckily (after moving back to my parents' home after running out of rent money), I came across a craigslist ad that got me started in my current career.

@OrangePekoe I've compiled a list of notifications that I have and haven't received over the past week. In the list below, "Missing" means I would have expected to received a notification email since these chapters were automatically added to my "To Read" list. "Received" means I got the notification email. So as not to take up too much space here, I put the list here's a link to the list.

I signed up with a gmail account, and nothing from dynasty ends up in the Spam folder.

I seem to have stopped receiving email notifications for my subscriptions. The last new chapter notification email I got was on March 3, and there have been many chapters added to my "To read" list.

I'm getting notification emails again (new ones, not any from the previous days).

So, are the rabbits Americans? USAgi?

I'm pretty sure the 3D image is viewed with parallel eyes, not crossed eyes. One trick that works for me: look above your screen at soemthing far away, then slowly bring your eyes down to the screen while still focusing on the far-away thing. Making the image smaller might help so you dont need to move your eyes so much.

Tag suggestion: Science (or, for Girl Genius fans: SCIENCE!)

This would cover stories where characters are engaged in scientific research, inventing, or engineering.

Example stories:

Stardust Telepath for rocketry
Afterschool Girl for chemistry
Linkage for robotics

I would understand preferring Himawari-san if that was her name, but it isn't. Sunflower Books is the name of the shop, so everyone just calls the shopkeeper Ms. Sunflower. There's no familial relation between the current and former Ms. Sunflowers.

Can't wait for her angst about being gay, all "How can I love this girl, it's unnatural", like she's not a vampire lol

Classic Firefly:

Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction.
Zoe: We live in a spaceship, dear.
Wash: So?

CG?

employers: "nobody wants to work!"
also employers:

Then: "Fine, we'll hire you. You'd better appreciate the sub-poverty wage and 996 schedule we are benevolently bestowing upon you."

It would be useful if clicking on the forum topic button for a chapter went to the first unread post instead of the first post--the same way clicking on topic titles in the forum works.

I'm still waiting for some solid anti-capitalist yuri, I know it's out there somewhere.

There is a Communism tag here.

Translator here.

I was thinking about renaming the series to a romanization of the title, Ao Hada Kyonyuu to Kuso Bocchi, because I see lots of people, at each chapter release, complaining about how this would be more popular if the title wasn't mentioning tits (even though the title means what I translated it to).

Thoughts?

Personally, I much prefer when titles are translated. The title is a part of the work and readers should know what it means, especially with the latest trend of extra-long titles that also serve as a plot summary. A title is supposed to attract attention, and this one certainly does.

I mean, it literally says that anyway, so I see no reason to change it (although I do believe the comma may be unnecessary).

If anything, there's one too few commas. [Oxford comma war commences]

What I wanna know is what she actually was doing to that dude, why’d she wanna beat him up?

... As for the rival author guy, I can only assume her beef with him has something to do with some underhanded tactics being used. She said she was teaching him a lesson ...

She was teaching him a proper necktie knot. She looked angry since he was using a four-in-hand when his skinny neck obviously called for a half-windsor.
