If not for the new chapter this month, I would have thought that Manio had abandoned this series. Still, missing four issues in a row this early on doesn't bode well for this manga.

This is decent as far as axed/rushed endings go. I was afraid that the author would go with an open ending, but we manage to have an unambiguous romantic conclusion here.

You understand why it took me 9 months to do that chapter, lol.

It's never pleasant when something you're working on is shat on at every turn.

I don't know when I'll do the next chapters, but I'll surely do, because not finishing something is against my work ethics.

Appreciate your work, but this series deserves to be shat on at every turn. Normally a series with shit writing can make up for it by providing guilty pleasure to its target audience. Meanwhile I'm not sure who the target audience of this steaming pile of garbage is. The mangaka should have stuck with writing smut shoujo with rapey dudes because it's clearly what they best at.
I wish Dynasty has more descriptive tags like 'shojo with yuri', 'shonen with yuri', 'ecchi with yuri', instead of just simply 'het'. There is a sea of difference between yuri works with some het elements (i.e Shoujo Manga Protagonist x Rival-san) and series where yuri is just thrown in to spice things up.

Three volumes is the standard length for axed series so I fear that's what's happening.

It won't be even enough to fill the third volume unless last chapter has 40+ pages. This is way too abrupt. Feels more like a downright cancellation rather than just premature ending.

I wonder the author's new series has anything to do with this one being axed.

My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover? Just googled it and saw new chapter is coming on 28/6. You meant that will be the last episode?

Chapter 19 is already out. The official online platform is usually behind actual raw. The series is on short hiatus with Last chapter scheduled for August.

... also kinda weird that something that looks like it was abruptly axed gets published in the West? :P

Being cut short helps with its chance of getting licensed, if you ask me. I notice that almost all obscure series licensed in English are on the shorter side (3,4 volumes or less). Scarlet got picked up by Seven Seas even though it was brutally axed with only 2 volumes. Meanwhile 10+ volumes series never get picked up unless they have anime. Publishers probably prefer short series because because it's less of a commitment and they can avoid diminishing returns on niche series.

I'm not going to speculate (here) but... it seems a lot of Yuri works with a certain tone have been getting the axe. A real shame because even if it's not the best having a lot of diversity is really nice for us Yuri lovers.

It's just recency bias. Manga get axed left and right on a weekly basis. Each series has its own circumstance (magazine, reader demographic, sales, author, editor...) so it's impossible to draw a trend out of individual cancellations. More yuri getting made also means more yuri getting axed. It's the nature of the beast.

Wait, why is the July issue of Yuri Hime already out? It's not even June yet

That how Yuri Hime works. July issue is released in May, August issue is released in June, etc. I though that was pretty well known around these parts.

It's here finally. This work won silver at last year Japan International Manga Award (the artist Monday Recover is in the photo). Relatively short too (6 chapters + extra).

The writer's name sounds pretty similar to the protagonist's, so I wonder if there is autobiographical element here.

And far too often, when people release a new chapter as an April Fools chapter, websites never actually update it with the real chapter, so you're just left with a joke of a chapter.

No less than what shitty aggregators deserve.

The 'Be Careful, Onee-san' author made this? And it's in Comic Cune of all places?

I've been holding out in hope that someone will redo the MTL chapters. Guess I'll have to go and read them now.
Hope this series gets an official release soon.

Waa…? Where did they get the other 3 chapters? I’ve been checking the raws at https://ichijin-plus.com/comics/20840872984740 and the latest is Ch.12

That's just the official online platform, not the place the manga is actually serialized in. Those sites are usually several chapters behind raws. The series is up to chapter 19 with this month issue of YuriHime, and actually ending next chapter.

These lewd maids must have come from the same maid academy.

Wait, so the artist of this series is called DuanS?

Not counting the bonus and cameo, Ayaka x Yurine has four volumes worth of content (half of 1,3,5,7,8,9 and entirety of volume 10. Mizuki x Moe has one volume of focus (half of 1 and 4). Chiharu x Izumi also has one volume (half of 2 and 6). The rest has half a volume for each couple/trio (Kaoru's group of friend actually has only one chapter)

I'm a bit sad that Ai (Ayaka and Yurine's mutual friend) and Kaoru (the girl who have had a crush on Yurine since middle school) don't have pairings of their own. They don't show up in the last chapter, or appear on any front volume cover. At first I thought Ai was paired with her astronomy senpai Maya, but nothing came of it.

I wonder how people reacted to Ayaka's design change midway through the series. Her face was rounder, and her hair much wavier at the beginning. At the end, Ayaka's hair are pretty much straightened out, except for the tips.

And what's with Mizuki still claiming Moe as her best friend when they're about to move in together? It's not like she has any reason to hide their relationship, given that a) everyone can see it, and b) this school is full of lesbians who are explicitly dating.

Jesus. The Viz translator couldn't make up his mind on how Konatsu addresses Koyuki. Heck, he literally couldn't keep it consistent across 2 consecutive pages.

And here we go with the misnaming again (same page for reference). You would think that after nearly 8 volumes, the translator would finally remember the two main character names. But apparently it's too hard to remember that the light hair kouhai here is called Konatsu, while Koyuki is the black hair senpai on the other side of the phone. How someone screw up 'translating' names in the first place is beyond me.

Of course the important moment arrives in chapter 28 when Koyuki asks Konatsu to call her by her given name, signaling a change in their relationship. Except that in official translation they are already on first name basic at various points previously. Gotta give it to Viz for their quality translation.

Looks like Lawrence Ng from the TVB series Healing Hands.

Now if only someone could translate 貓與海的彼端 by the same artist. It won a silver at the 2022 International Manga Awards. That story is truly beautiful.

Chapter 1 is translated on Mangadex under the title Sea You There and Us. Let's see if I can get the mods to upload it here.

Isn't Asumi a little insensitive toward Serina? Out of all her prostitute 'friends', she had to pick the one with a crush on her to ask for dating advices.

Now this is interesting. I wonder if if Bo He's dream is actually some kind of premonition.

The word used to describing Huang Qi in the title (風流 - literally 'wind and flow') has various meanings, including elegant, refined, unrestrained, romantic, or promiscuous.

The series has ended with 8 chapters, compiled in a single volume. This is an adaptation of a stand-alone novel so it was always meant to be a short serialization.

(The original story was picked up for manga adaptation because it won the Yuri Hime Award at the 3rd Yuri Literary Contest.)

She planned to retire after finishing her first ever series? And I still can't info on a new series. Do you happen to have a title?

But I'm more worried about the author now, I hope she's okay

What's happened to the author?

it was the most censored way of saying they has sex……..to the point that even at the end of the chapter I was like……that must has been an nice feet massage! really hate the dumb censorship of the fact that it wasn’t much of even implying of segs since the censorship was soooo ugly

That's not what censorship means even if you apply the term loosely. This is a discretion shot where something is not shown in explicit detail but everyone and their mothers knows exactly what is happening. This series has been relatively innocent so far and it wouldn't suddenly show Yvonne diving between Elsa's legs. Just seeing Elsa reacting to the sex in real time (and Yvonne licking her finger suggestively) is already way too racy for nearly all non-adult series out there.
