@Martian Thanks for straightening it up. I'm actually not sure myself whether No-rae was asking those questions because she already noticed and accepted her feeling or either one or even just comfirming 'her path' with her oppa (She is her oppa's lil' girl LOL)

I actually like the little teasing with Ji-Hwan confessing his feeling to No-rae because he felt threatened by Seol-a LOL

@OriginalGengar Is marimite yuri or shojou-ai? That platonic girl-girl relationship exists in Asian culture, not in western culture where everything is well-defined. After all, marimite is based on the writer's experience going to an all girls school in japan.

@OriginalGengar Is it Shojou-ai gay or yuri gay? They're quite different. Based on my understanding, the first one is platonic, while the second one is 'I wanna bang you' kind of like. I often get confused reading manga when I still have my western glasses on LOL

@Martian @Underachiever007 No-rae's previous relationship was with a guy. Both of them are not at an 'identity crisis' teenage age or 'middle-age' crisis. That's why I was surprised by how fast No-rae accepted what she's feeling (if we consider those ambiguous questions towards her oppa is her, asking about homosexuality). This is not about realizing it from an early age. No-rae also said that Ji-Hwan has a 'good neck' on one of the chapter. At one point, I started to think that she's bi. But then, the next chapter is back to all shojou-ai. Maybe this is how Samba likes to tease his/her readers LOL

So, up till chapter 34, we know that:
-No-rae had a bad previous relationship with a guy who is in the army right now
-No-rae starts to notice her feelings (a bit rather ambiguously with all those questions with her oppa...)
-Seol-a is dense and naive
-Seol-a gave what supposed to be a lecherous look on No-rae's: lips & abs
-Seol-a got jealous, when No-rae said someone is pretty?(Or was it her pride as a pretty girl?)

For a conservative christian society like South Korea (Lady Gaga got kicked out and wasn't allowed to perform before), No-rae seems to noticed her feelings a bit too fast. In other yuri mangas, the yuri goddess dropped some sort of yuri porn out of no where in front of the characters and made them realize the wonders of yuri LOL

I know that in Asian society, girls friendship does have some platonic skinship, but I don't think looking at your friend's lips and abs like that would still be considered platonic friendship. At some point, I thought that Seol-a knows her real feeling already. But, it's a bit ambiguous that the words could also meant possesiveness. Seol-a never really had a girl friend other than Min Jeong, just a lot of guy friends who wanna bang her. Well, it's still ambiguous to what happened with her past friend... A hit and run accident?

Anyways, I'm still not convinced yet that this is even yuri or shojoi-ai. I'm more curious whether Samba will suddenly turn this into Het or not, more than how No-rae and Seol-a will end up. I feel like reading an alternate version of marimite if Sachiko were to first meet Yumi in college, not that it's a bad thing :3

If anyone here noticed a definite yuri moment in any of the current chapters, could you let me know which one? Thanks.

We do have it good. Really good if I might say. But, I'm an artist myself and I understand the feeling of working and not being paid. Unfortunately, I don't think that comico take international credit card at the moment. So, I feel kinda guilty lol

@halmoni
Yup, but the american webtoons are not at Tapastic level. So it's basically just dumb fillers (-_-)

@halmoni lol It's enough for me if I could understand what the characters are saying. I'm not that picky regarding translations because it's impossible to fully translate word by word between 2 languages with different roots anyways.

Rather than the english translations, some of the webtoons uploaded on LINE(english) are what I'd define as atrocious. I guess they don't have enough translators that they add webtoons by non-korean artists. If I want to read american webtoons, I'd just go to Tapastic, not LINE (-_-)

I see... Thanks, anonymous.

I'm kind of hoping that comico will go the LINE route aka official english translation & apps lol then again, what are the chances of that happening anyways...

joined May 10, 2015

So, I know that there's a new chapter on comico every monday, but is it uploaded at a random time or is there a specific hour? Like LINE webtoons (English) is usually uploaded around 11AM.
