I'll honestly read anything Yodokawa makes, but this chapter (11) felt like the first interesting one. Some pretty solid subtext... First time visiting her apartment, and they're already getting into domestic bickering like they've been dating for a few months.. <3
And the powerful gap moe of a dependable and diligent senior that is secretly a bit of a slob at home... Getting to stay over at her apartment in exchange for helping her with housework is such a good trope. Hopefully there'll be more of this and less about the high end clothing industry.

I don't think a partner needs a special treatment that my friends won't get

Then they shouldn’t be your partner nor should you invest anytime pursuing a serious relationship, simple as that

Well, some people like to use the same level for every person they have a bond with, you can do otherwise, I can do as I want, no one gets special treatment!

I think it'd be very strange to treat a romantic partner the exact same way you'd treat a friend.

Damn right she's the treasure. Interesting to see product placement in a GL manhua... Well, if it means more money for the artist, then I don't mind. Pretty tasteful either way.

Comic would be a lot cuter if we just omitted that one chapter 6 page... Wtf

If you don't care about something, why would you care enough to bother commenting?? Surely there's something else around that DOES spark your interest. Wouldn't it be better to go talk about that instead?

Sure, let's all circle jerk (or schlick, your choice) in peace and never interact in any meaningful way.

This is the internet man, you'll have to bear with opinions you don' agree with.

To comment on a manga and say it sucks (or rules) and why you think so, is what this forum is for.

Shutting down dissenters by telling them to go away is rude.

"Shutting down dissenters" LMAO, that's cute. It's a valid question to ask why you're even here and complaining about a work that seems to be going over your head.

E.g.: "Here, the MC is like "Oh, I become a girl when I kiss and it may become permanent. Okay. if I can be with my beloved I can accept that". Zero depth. I couldn't care less if they're a trans woman or just thoughtless."

That's not at all what happens. The MC is both visibly conflicted about it, and at the same time has an internal monologue about how they're telling a white lie. And add to that how they've spent three chapters now depicting the MC trying to process these rightfully confusing emotions and thoughts.

Are you paying attention? Is this a circle jerk, or are you just getting upset when people interact with you by asking you questions?

That was really cute confession...
Please finish Swallow Tail

ain’t like the story not translated? or did they catch up with the author and they stop updating the story? also can you please tell me were i can read the translated verion?

I found translations only to the chapter 46, googling. (I was reading it on m_ng_go)
I think online are English and Portuguese translations to that chapter.
If there are more untranslated chapters, I really don't know, nor how to find it.

I don't think there are more chapters, unfortunately. You can check the original source in Korean here: https://notima.postype.com/series/289167/glswallowtail

Naori’s charisma is too powerful lol

Also, we’re nearing idiot couple territory with this chapter

Based on the scene where they started watching Veryuri and Settsu's assessment, we're already there. I mean, that image of them watching a movie, with Hinata draped over Naori's shoulders, just screams "they're a couple" and the fact that they some how haven't realized it yet ...

Yeah I agree, it might be that they're taking the Futaribeya route, i.e. they're "roommates", aka super gay for eachother but don't feel the need to make it explicitly sexual or to put labels on their relationship beyond bartender and ogre.

I've been enjoying this series a lot these last 5-6 chapters. Feels like they've found their footing. All the new introduced characters and plot hooks are nice, and the story is really going places.

I was wary of Tsukasa initially -- felt like this tropey super attractive and flawless male character that shows up to try and steal yo girl to generate some bullshit jealousy subplot that goes nowhere... But seems there's a glimmer of hope that he's actually just is an oblivious but good dude. That'd be refreshing.

Anyway, non-alcoholic vodka base??? That's just potato flour mixed with some water, isn't it?

Aaaah, so cute!!

Always happy to see more Tima stuff getting translated. Her art is so distinct and beautiful... Thank you, scanlators!

I like her art a lot too, it's very distinctive. It's like a mix between early 90's shoujo manga and mid 2000's Clamp. Love the bright coloring in this one too.

Yeah! Her pixiv is really amazing; the wild colors and lineart in some of the art, combined with the sheer volume of works makes them seem a bit... unhinged. Also how she never interacts with anyone on her twitter, like some feral art hermit.

“Their Story/Tamen de Gushi,” Take 2.

And I don’t mean that in anything remotely like a bad way.

Haha, so I wasn't the only one that got TdG vibes... Looking forward to more of this, seems fun.

Well gosh darn, what a lovely and pretty comic. Bit surprised there wasn't a "but we're both girls..." part in the middle there. Maybe that's a bit old fashioned these days.

Are you from Mercury?

Yes. In another life, before I got isekai'd into this world wherein I'm constantly being pursued by different cute girls who want to have sex with me... C'est la vie.

Damn, that was fantastic! This would deserve one of those beautiful Temp posts. :D

they are so wholesome.

i've been wondering for a while now if we should expect some sort of major conflict, like them being outed at school or their parents freaking out or something. that one girl is really possessive with umi, she might cause a big problem.

but then i remember that this series really hasn't been like that. it's more subtle. the focus is on relationships between individuals and how they learn and grow by being around each other.

i doubt this type of story would last if it weren't self published. there's just not enough conflict for a magazine and i really love it for that.

^ This, I agree. I adore the relaxed plot and pacing. It's not exactly 'boring', but it's 'unremarkable' in a realistic way, with no kind of editorial pressure to make it more exciting.

And in fact this is plenty exciting as-is. Stealthy attempts at public affection can be terrifying; the credible fear of being found out... And not necessarily because their classmates are bad people or anything, but because they're rather well depicted as just... teens. Some of them would almost definitely be immature and narrow-minded about it, and might say/do something dumb. Malice isn't needed to hurt someone.

Holy crap, this is incredibly good?! Wholesome and reasonable characters, sensible plot with good pacing, pretty art... And well translated!

What a delight to be blessed with 15 chapters of this work from out of nowhere. Thank you so much jam city for bringing us this christmas present!

idk why it works so well, but this manga really manages to be funny, charming and cute enough to the degree that I don't even mind the useless lesbian gag... strong accomplishment

I'm hoping this is a speed run in the magic babies% category

I love this series so much.

Being ace, I deeply identified with the self-doubt and confusion that comes with the lack of feelings of attraction. It really is an accurate depiction; feeling broken, or like you are an impostor, because you can't relate to everyone else around you. When I found out about the ace/aro spectrum, it was such a relief.

I had just kinda assumed that I was a really late bloomer, or that I simply hadn't found the right one yet... Which might still be true, but I'm happy now, and not in a hurry to find out.

Btw so... Did Fuuka and Subaru get together? I felt it strongly implied that, but I'm not sure. Would not have minded a few more chapters exploring the post-confession domestic fluff, but also to see Subaru-chan conquer the world.

The Yuri Manga I Was Interested in Wasn't a Yuri Manga At All

I think it's clearer now than it's been in a long while that Aya has feelings for Koga. Some series have a slower pace, that doesn't mean they're not yuri. Gosh.

Also: Chapter 69! Nice.

I'll take anything I can get, but only two pages?! That's some pretty efficient storytelling.

Well, aside from the terrible habits that should not be glamorized, I like this. It's cute, the characters seem interesting, the art is good. Here's hoping for a redemption arc where they quit smoking together and go on to live long healthy lives as wife and wife.

There's already so much talent, investment, and fan support for yuri in a market 10x as big as Japan, and it's growing every year. Yes, the best content may get translated, but there's nothing comparable to consuming it in the original language because so much gets lost in translation.

That's really encouraging to hear. Only thing I knew about the Chinese yuri market was the whole drama about Tamen de Gushi getting cancelled, and the rumors I read said that it was because of Chinese government pressuring publishers to crack down on depictions of LGBT romance...
But I assumed those interpretations were leaving out a lot of nuance and details. Or were false. Either way RIP tdg.

Did I forget something, or is Yunduo just bitter about getting friendzoned because she wasn't being honest and forthcoming about her romantic feelings when she had a chance? Because to me it seems like S.S. Yunduo-Xiaoen sailed like a decade ago.

Really liking these chapters though; getting to explore all of these conflicting emotions and uncertainties...
