This one looks very pleasantly gloomy.

Lots of effort going into this. For now I'm figuring the guy going in was the ghost of her ex-husband.

The way Shimeji is drawn in the bottom panel of page 5 and the next page made me do a double take - more delicate and expressive than Tsukumizu's usual lumpy potato head style. For a moment there I had the feeling of a sudden shift towards some previously unseen reality in the narrative.

I was little worried this might turn out another one-chapter wonder. Thanks to the translators!

I've been imagining her husband as having been like the guy in Useless Ponko.

I've also been waaaiiiiting for a new chapteeeeeeeer

Oh right, I figured anyone named Miyako would have to be a woman.

Page 5 - who's Miyako?

The media in the Taisho era were not very different from the media today, I see.

Whenever I read about cultural developments and movements in early modern Japan, an account of how newspapers dogpiled on it is a standard feature.

-> savage newspaper headline = funny period flavor

Taishō best period! This looks like it might fit nicely on the heels of My Master Has No Tail.

Chapter 72 went up three weeks ago. Dynasty is a little behind.

Those flashbacks of comments from years ago are so relatable and frustrating.

I can't help being a tragedy fiend but what I'd like in the near future is a chapter sketching out how Chizuru's dealing with heartbreak.

It's great when big name authors deliver stuff like this.

Welp, here's the drama.

I was so turned off by the "kill monsters - pick up loot - sell in town" scenario that MagiReco presented in the intro of the first episode that I summarily dismissed it, but just now I soldiered through the rest of the first episode and it doesn't look entirely hopeless after all. I know nothing about the story beforehand though.

Bus-kun is idling right behind the corner.

y-... i'm... uh... dowman sayman has nothing on this one.

It's bakk! But what's going on in chapter 146?

Duh, I meant chapter 164. What Kyouko's costume is about, whether there's some wordplay lost in translation...

It's bakk! But what's going on in chapter 146?

In for whatever this ride is. I can't get enough of post-apocalyptic desolation lately.

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Are there any historical manga with yuri elements where the story reflects the reality of the era without taking fantastical or anachronistic liberties with the setting? No matter if it's Nara or Taisho period, Chinese, Korean... The only ones I know are Ends of a Dream and Cocoon.

As much as I appreciate stories that go on month after month, they rarely deliver the kind of punch a drive-by oneshot like this can.

That dress looked reaaaaaaally good on Suletta.

Aaaaaa. I'd completely forgotten about this one. Thanks for the continuation!

Makes me wonder how it works at actual fashion boutique type places where the clothes cost $500 a piece. Aspiring designers who have to already be relatively affluent to accept a part-time, low wage gig while living in a major metropolitan city? Kinda like entry level publishing or tech gigs? I wonder if this is how it's done at Studious Tokyo and if it's standard practice for boutiques in general.

Even high-end stores must deal with things like customer returns, slight seconds and overstock, perfectly usable stuff that otherwise ends up in a landfill in Nigeria or something.
