This is by Murata... which I got mixed up with Maruta... this is good, but I'd rather have more Maruta...

When I saw the update I also had to check the author.

I didn't know if I was going to get a cute yuri story or Lots of sex.

Why not both?

why the hell do japs still focus on valentines and xmas
when will they get over the white people bullshit

This is hilariously both PC-policing and incredibly un-PC at the same time.

Also Japan seems pretty happy to have made Valentine's and Christmas into syncretic holidays with basically none of the original religious Western meaning intact. (Most Japanese people don't even know what Christmas is actually about and Valentine's is never referred to as Saint Valentine's Day.)

They've both become just simple days of romantic dates, fun parties and certain foods. Things like reciprocal chocolate or making a Christmas cake the central item instead of like a big meat dish are totally alien to how these things work in the West.

Not like they're celebrating Thanksgiving over there.

The slang used in this translation is... really bad. It reads like it's both from the future and instantly dated at the same time. It's such an incoherent mess of different groups (2010's hipster tumblr girl? faux-black twitter? stereotypical Southerner? what I think is supposed to be... surfer dude and/or frat bro lingo? all in the same page! HOW!?) that it becomes insanely distracting.

Ranka died for this website's sins and in doing so earned the right to dialogue that actually flows in English.

Are you saying... that you think this actually flows in English?

.....................................

lol, ok

Pretty sure that the classic Japanese "trailing off without saying the crucial word best left unspoken" trope ("The person I love is...", "that which lies beyond the horizon into the promised tomorrow is...", etc.) still manages to sound more coherent than giving characters multiple personality disorder through the use of combinations of phrases no one person would ever say. Translators have a right to alter dialogue as they see necessary, but any right comes with responsibilities to not completely lose sight of the original's form and meaning. Unless the original Japanese was jam-packed with phrases that purposefully made them sound like they were pretending to be using several stock Japanese speech patterns types, (which I know Yoshiko is with the chunnibyo and Mari with broken English, but that's it) it's a pretty bad abuse of that right.

HOW!?) that it becomes insanely distracting. Maybe the original had a crazy amount of modern Japanese fujoshi phrases and tons of colorful speech patterns that could use some creative Western equivalents, but sticking to just one or two consistently would have helped. It's really hard to imagine anything being as disconnected as this, going from "y'all" and "queens" to "awks" to "pump'n'dump" to "nervy" and then back to "bang city" in the course of a page. Giving a character from the country parts of Japan a Southern, Scottish or Brooklyn accent is one thing, but at least they never slip into each other from panel to panel.

I like a spiced-up translation as much as the next person, but this is like throwing everything in the spice rack into a dish at once.

honestly, these comments are sickening me. bet most people that read this story, never actually tried to get good at fighting games. Like, REALLY tried to get good. why they explained it so much? so that you can understand the hardships and the skill you have to need to be good. you can relate better and get exited when you know what its about. even if you never played a fighting game. and it did. i didnt learn anything new but it was all the same stuff i had to learn when i started playing fighting games. its on point. You sadly need to know about frames and mixups, so you can understand the growth. too bad, most yuri readers just give a fuck about kissing and scissoring and forgot how yuri even began forming. with subtext. this wouldve been an awesome story. an epic story. all the shoujo ai at EVO, handholding, suki suki with blushing i dont know. it wouldve been great. if not for stupid yuri hime readers and you guys even. underappreciated work.
rest in peace, hope to see you one day again.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Someday, We'll Get There...

Touhou is the initial mangaka way, but nowadays it's moving towards Kantai as I've seen

True. The times, they are a-changin'.

Funny to think how both of these mangakas, now with an anime adaptation each, started out making Touhou doujins. Of course basically every Japanese artist on pixiv started out making Touhou fanart if you go back far enough in their gallery, it's basically de facto law at this point that you need a year of Touhou fanart before you can be a real artist on pixiv.

Hello,

This series actual title is "Zenryoku Hen'ai Girl". It has been picked up by our scanlation group: "Zenryoko Henai Scans".

Feel free to upload our releases on this website. They are published on Mangadex. We currently publish a chapter per day, except weekends. We have no official page. You can link our Mangdex page.

I won't upload them myself.

Have a good day everyone.

Sirwolfeye.

You the real MVP, as they say.

I swore I read this very chapter long before today...

It has been published elsewhere, but it wasn't by the current team who started the series first. Sadly, there had been some problems (from what I understood) and another team of less patient individuals went ahead and scanlated the chapters anyway.

Ahhhh, the endless battle between rival scanlator philosophies of rush jobs versus slow quality, I see. Thanks for the answer.

Y'all really think this is the face of someone who WANTED their friend to kiss them!? LMAO. She was put into a compromising spot: Stay asleep and let her friend kiss her or stop her, revealing that she knows MC's intentions and ruining their friendship, which is what happens anyways until the end because apparently the fact that MC recorded her erotic moaning counts as a grand romantic gesture. Why would she pretend it didn't happen if she wanted it? Why not just say 'oh, I liked that, please keep doing it"? Her clear confused feelings afterwards are all a result of the MC's inappropriate actions, no matter the outcome, that remains true. "She likes her, and always has" as an excuse for kissing someone you BELIEVE to be asleep is still a milder form of "it's okay to force a kiss on someone if they love you!" Who hurt you, my guy? MC didn't know her friend's feelings, she didn't know her friend was secretly awake and secretly loved her, all she thought of was her own desires. The verdict is not good.

And I never said the dude was a nice guy who deserved the girl or anything, I never even said he was a good person, merely that MC was far worse, far more self-absorbed and refusing to see anyone's perspective but her own. This isn't about the larger narrative of a history of yuri erasure or something, this is literally just "the MC was insanely uncaring about other people's feelings", simple as that. I'm not going to accept such a warped story of forcing yourself on others to make them love you as "a win for yuri!" because if anything, it's a win for emotional abuse. Ideally, none of these people would ever get together, let alone continue to interact with each other, since their emotional stability flies out the window whenever they're with one another, but if the only two realistic options were "girl goes with dude" and "girl goes with MC", then, yuri be damned, I'll pick the less manipulative ending and go with the former, though both are pretty bad options for the reasons I've stated above.

Less manipulative? You are given obvious hints from the very beginning that the het was already on shaky ground before MC started e
being aggressive. The girl didn't even let the dude clen her ears, they havent properly kissed(assuming from the "I guess"), and at the first sign of MC showing her feelings the girl didn't want any physical contact with the dude. That's the relationship you wanted to win over the heartbroken gay girl who thought that everyone would think she was disgusting if she let your feelings be known? Alrightythen.

Everything you just said amounts to her not wanting to physically touch the guy, which can clearly be seen as the confusion/trauma of having her best friend forcibly kiss her. Clearly you haven't seen Phantom Blood. None of that compares to the actual emotional manipulation that the MC puts her through.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/toumei_na_usui_mizuiro_ni_ch02#14

She also rejects MC's touch as well, because, again, confusion brought on by MC's forced kiss.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/toumei_na_usui_mizuiro_ni_ch02#16

Which the girl CLEARLY states right here. If y'all think "oh noes, she forcibly kissed me and now I'm all hot and bothered because I realize I love her instead of my boyfriend, guess I'll push him away and eventually give into her selfish ways" is good romance... then yikes, because that's literally the logic hentai uses. "You say that you hate me, but look at your lewd body's reaction! Clearly you love my uncalled for physical advances!" Real romance doesn't start when one party forces themselves on the other.

You do realize she's a teenage girl who recently realized she's not only gay but in love with her best friend who is dating her other childhood friend, right? Cause what you described her as (self-absorbed and unable to see others' perspectives) is one of the most common traits a person can have at that age and teenage girls tend to be quite emotional and act irrationally.

You do realize that, while true, none of that absolves her actions. Everything you just said is an explanation, not an excuse. Teenagers being horny doesn't mean it's okay for them to touch people without their consent, even if somehow that magically causes the other person to fall in love with them afterwards, I don't see what's so hard about this that none of you can understand.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/toumei_na_usui_mizuiro_ni_ch02#21

The dude is right here. And no amount of romance manga logic of "she became okay with it afterwards!" is ever going to change that. One fictional example doesn't change the real-world fact that making someone aware of your feels by forcing yourself on them isn't a legitimate way to start a relationship.

This is 100% emotional abuse, plain and simple. "It's either he goes or I goes!" is a classic manipulative line, putting people on the spot to force them into a decision.

Y'all are crazy for thinking this is some great ending, when it's so clearly siding with the emotional abuser on the flimsiest of reasons. The dude ain't great, but the MC is straight-up in the wrong about basically everything, no amount of unearned happy endings will change that. I'm pretty sure the fin meant it is over, which makes sense narratively, so I'll leave it at that, but it's honestly concerning how hard some of you are reaching to make the MC not the bad person she very obviously is just because you prefer yuri. This girl makes Mei look saintly in comparison.

Some of y'all are making it real clear why you haven't ever been in relationships. Selfless love isn't a high-minded ideal, it's literally the starting basis for any legitimate relationship. Heck outta' here with that "humans are biologically selfish, there's no helping it!" libertarian BS, it was already well established that WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!

And I never said the dude was a nice guy who deserved the girl or anything, I never even said he was a good person, merely that MC was far worse, far more self-absorbed and refusing to see anyone's perspective but her own.

Even tho im a sucker for yuri i gotta say , these hoes aint loyal boi 2 timing my nigga shun ... thats nasty af .
Give that dude a week and he'll get depressed and starts listening I to sad lofi beats with those cartoon intros , bottom line is we live in a society

GANG YURI RISE UP!

...no, seriously, this is possibly the only time I'd rather have it end het. The MC was just... such a legitimately bad person, everything she did was selfish. Reminds me of the ending of Scum's Wish, actually this entire premise reminds me of it, no wonder it's so contentious lol.

Nah love in general is selfish

Imma keep it real with you chief: That line by itself disqualifies any and all points you had after that. You are just objectively wrong in your understanding of love. This ain't even agape or some religious shit, plain and simple, love is selfless! Selfish love... is not actual love! Them's the facts, my guy, idk else what to say...

It's always funny seeing a mangaka who only did original, SFW stuff doing a hentai doujin. But again, it shows you just how vast otaku culture is within anime/manga. You really can never assume just what the extent a person's dealings with that side of things are until you see their porn.

Yeah, I pretty much figured Tomekichi was "that" kind of yuri artist.

Almost everything is het by Tomekichi .

Actually a lot of her stuff is yaoi, of the forced cross-dressing variety. Just goes to show how you can never assume what a Japanese mangaka is like from one of their works, because they probably have a whole other side to them. Or several, as the case may be.
