I feel very blessed by the Kreditz page

It's odd to see a woman call herself "ore" in a non-shounen or fantasy setting! But I like it. If I ever went to Japan to work/live, I'd probably be pressured into using "watashi" in most social contexts, but I honestly feel much more comfortable using "boku". (even if it might be a social faux pas)

Isn't it nice that japanese has so many pronouns that you can use to better express your gender? =w=

Um, the rule of thumb about this sort of porn is that the underage must looks *unrealisitc" in order to pass the law. The Japanese certainly has its own sort of laws and loopholes.
I am not sure what to say; great art. It should be classified as Loli. Just because the pedo dipicted here is a female does not change the fact that the child has been groomed. Yes, I have my fair share of reading porn....I just wonder why this piece is on the website. However, no matter how you look at it. it is also a Yuri.

Since this is fiction, you can just imagine the story is set in a world in which children are not like our children, their brains are advanced and they are capable of goal-driven sexual behaviour, that way you can also imagine that this child /hasnt/ been groomed. Sometimes it's impossible to do this, particularly if you're a csa, or if you've a personal close story with the subject, but it sure does help to enjoy works like this when that's not the case.

It's important to remember that only you can oversee, approve of and change your own personal interactions and dynamics with fictions, and no one can judge you for your inner thought processes, specially fantasies.

This artist is real good. Like, they're way too good.
However, for some reason, I get the feeling they're never quite comfortable drawing Momoka... Her face often ends up looking off. I wonder why.

P.S. your idea of diluting juice with water is a no-no. Might as well drink plain water. How does sour water go down easier than regular water? Yuck.

Eh, personally I dilute juice with water all the time - it's actually the only way I can drink it currently.

One time I decided to stop drinking sugary stuff, and after that I just... couldn't drink OJ or any type of juice as-is, really. It just feels overly sweet and doesn't quench my thirst (like yuri mangas do (?).

This way they also last a lot more, which is really a godsend in a country with crippling inflation like mine lol.

Mind you, I don't overdilute them. I add a quarter of the juice's ml amount of water to it, so it tastes fairly juice-like.

Love this manga!
I really like the main characters. Really feels like their actions make sense given what we know of them!

That "middle school crush" anecdote is just a plot gimmick, a sob story the author made up to soften the bad impression Nanase is making on the readers with her milk-and-water approach to dating Yuni.

Agreed. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Nanase was actually the one to make it up on the spot, you know?

The author doesn't want everyone to start rooting for Fuuko, at least not yet.

Oops. It's too late.

100% mood. I love that creepy weird stalker girl.

In my head, this kinda accent IS kansai-ben.

I honestly like how in translations, this kinda stuff has been "canonized". Not being from the US, this kinda accent just reads to me like "casual and rural-like", so I don't really associate it with any given state or location haha it works perfectly, it's just neutral like that.

Btw I DEFINITELY need more of this

Okay, I'm calling it, Hwayeon killed Jisoo's friend who looked like mc, and the accident wasn't an accident at all.
And also, I think Jisoo might have understood that mc was implying Jisoo was just being nice to bed her, that's why "Im not that sort of person"

Btw, this comic has me feeling actual feelings for once, I'm really glad I get to read it whenever an update drops haha

Ehhh not really feeling the kidnapping, felt really abrupt since we weren't really shown the protagonist had such deep issues with themselves beforehand. Was pretty cute without that though.

But why does it always have to be "I don't love [gender], I love you". It feels like authors are downplaying homosexuality every time lines like these come out, like you can't simply be gay, it has to be because there's this special someone and that's why you're attracted to someone of the same gender. Yeah I know, probably reading too deep into it, I've just gotten kind of tired of seeing the trope everywhere.

I mean aside from the yandere parts, I think when certain characters say stuff like “I don't love [gender], I love you” I don’t think they’re consider gay or lesbian, but more pan or bi, depending they might be specifically considered, within the lgbt+ terminology, demisexual/romantic. I’m not sure how familiar most writers are with that term tho in Japan. I would actually like to see more pan and/or Demi characters in fiction too, since it’s a rather unrepresented demographic within the lgbtq+ spectrum

Yeah, me too. Then again, I am pan, and that part of me wishes "Don't look down on me! Why would I stop liking you because you [are x gender/have x type of genitals]?" was a more common reaction in general.

I liked this, I think it's pretty fitting for a character who was born in a highly pretentious/judgemental environment to think they'd be able to live better by pretending to be a gender they're not, and keep up such a pretense to the point of momentary madness/despair.

And while "I'm not into women, I'm into you!" thing is pretty memey, she DID say "I like you, the woman." And there were multiple acknowledgements throughout the story from Misaki that she liked the more femenine aspects of Akira.

About the kidnapping thing, it IS pretty yikes, but also this is a story and everything worked out in the end, and we don't really have to think about the psychological implications of Akira being willing to do that since we won't see more about them as a couple lol

Btw. I'm assuming her real name is probably based on a literary reference, but I don't know much about japanese lit to make an educated guess.

So, what’s the brouhaha over someone’s panties gets tied into a knot and decides to pack all of her toys to go home?

Let me rephrase that: I notice a translator is pulling his/her stuff off of this website which isn’t really a profit-based endeavor. This ain’t paid work, and if it was for profit, then somebody would be getting cease-and-desist letters. What’s the point of taking crap down from here? (Especially when most of it isn’t NSFW— then again, SOFTCHARM’s gone and I consider that a blessing, too) This isn’t going to take down the website.

I don’t understand the motivation for this (taking down translated stuff done for free, maybe skirting copyright laws, too).

Me neither; or at least, I can't think of a logical explanation

But I think there may be emotional reasons for doing it. Perhaps (they're) you're not proud of your work and can't stand it being constantly read, perhaps you have a personal vendetta against dynasty for some reason, or maybe an internal issue with the scanlation team...

I think it's because these things are not motivated by profit that they're often subject to the emotional whims of their creators. (and this isn't a judgement on my part, I can't tell someone what to do with their hobby)

Fucking love mahjong and touhou. Having so much fun! Best thing is, I was a bit depressed a while back after learning how the Akagi manga ended, so this manga arrived in good timing for me~
Maybe I'll get to play with my friends tomorrow, should I use youmu's strategies~? :B

The only thing that might save this manga now is if mima is the vengeful spirit.

I was really hyped of having a Satori manga, and while I know she has a standoffish personality, they could have done more than make her appear fucking useless by always being late to the spirit's mischief, and then have these bare-bones interactions with the rest of the cast. Satori has been in the Chireiden for a long time now, she's a fish out of water, she's a perfect POV character for Gensokyo's overground shenanigans, and it's vastly underused.

Furthermore, the story's plot points feel tedious by now. It almost feels like they're not going to reveal anything substantial about the spirit until the end, and just chasing the spirit around is not amusing by itself.

I know ZUN can write compelling narratives, but the writting in this just falls flat.

The art is quite bad, too, I'd rather not grill it much on that though. (and others have already mentioned it as well)

I think this chapter's message is the best we could get for this year.

What I am surprised is that she actually called herself a lesbian. Big shock, I know. By that I mean that, Japanese people don't use the word "lesbian" as over there it is synonymous of Porn.

I think you misunderstand how translation works.

^ This

probably the original jp had レズ ("Les"), which is pretty commonly used to refer to and self-identify as lesbian in a non-offensive way.

Hopefully this means the shit editor got fired. Out of a cannon. Into a brick wall.

I honestly think it's wonderful that this 4koma webcomic can ellicit such strong responses from people :3

And, also, I feel the same way lol

The "only-there-as-an-interlocutor-for-the-protagonist" character who appeared in just a couple of panels throughout the series... suddenly became an actual character!?

Or not ;w;

I get that the writer probably wanted to expand on this character since their role in the story is so bland and minimal that it feels wasteful to even have her as a character, but the solution to thats is not really to give them another role that is even more "functional" than the first... Love rivals tend to be woefully underdeveloped as characters as well.

Small Brain: Bigger is better
Big Brain: All Boobs are Equal
Galaxy Brain: All Boobs are tiny when compared to the vastness of space.
Emotional Skyscraper, Cosmic Mind: All Boobs are huge when they're right up in your face.

I was completely blindsided by the touhou ref and I love it <3 but also TRUUU
