Can I have. A whole series with the dwarves. Just little mundane heroes with their tiny lil silly lil faces in ;;;;0;;;;. Doesn't even beed to be Yuri, them existing is enough, I love them so much
Also the end notes confirming only 14 total chapters is quite bittersweet. But with only 5 chapters so far there's already been wonderful story and progress, so I am remaining quite optimistic that even if it seems short, the story will have a satisfying ending (weather it ends up being bittersweet, too, we'll have to see ;-; ). Tbh I always love a well crafted short series where the creator know when they want it end and sticks the landing, and given this is a favorite of mine already, I hope this is one too!

Ohhh for the reveal to match their first meeting, I really like that parallel.

Ch.39: Is "his" majesty in her period? You know the "stomachache" thing

Also, dang yeah, you totally called it. Completely missed it myself, she's just having a bad day all around: assassination attempt, secrets being revealed, cramps... really can't get worse (I hope)

Oh wait, until I came to the comments I actually thought this was a one-shot in an anthology collection. I didn't expect it to be a the start of a series! I don't know where it's going to go from here but it is interesting. Hoping for an exploration of unrequited love coming from two ends; I'm with everyone else in camp "please don't actually get with the dad"

I want more of those disaster OLs fr

Comic #2 is a follow-up to A Story About a High School Girl Prince. I think the rest are all standalone, unfortunately.

Unrelated note -- I've now translated everything on Amazaki-sensei's Pixiv that hadn't been translated! To celebrate I put together these based on things I noticed while reading/translating so much of her work:

Common visual themes

It's been a fun couple months. My final tally is 16 comics/chapters by Amazaki Suika translated since the end of November, plus a few images!

I'm going to take a little break from Amazaki Suika for now (other than continuing to work with Oddity Translations on her current series), but at some point will work through her dozen or so remaining Twitter-only comics -- there are some good ones! ♡

Thank you so much for your hard work!! It's been a delight to see her stuff pop up these last few months

Both funeral AND wedding allusions with the white flowers??? auuuuugh this story is just piling on the heartbreak. Also the two page spread of Iro in the field is stunning, followed closely by Aino laying in them motionless. And the cute dream outfits... really this chapter was just killing it on the visuals

I'm pretty sure Aino is fully intent on answering that question, what with holding a white flower out to her and declaring that she wouldn't let their experience in the flower dimension just be a dream.

Same, was definitely seeing the flower offering as a continuation of the wedding-esque visuals from 139, both of them also making vows to make each other happy in some way... seems pretty gay

Absolute best straight couple on this site; just a genuinely well done side story. I love our main girls, but I wish these two the best and am looking forward what comes next for them all

When filling out the 2024 Yuri elections, I was trying to think of my all-time favorites, and my mind came to this one. I think this was the very first yuri series I really fell in love with. I was a teen when I found it, but it was probably the first time I'd read anything with adult women, living life, loving and supporting each other (though looking now and knowing they're only 24...... OTL ) To re-read this now, I'm happy to see it's still as sweet as I remember, and thank you so much to the other commenters that helped me finally read the ending ;-;

Chapters 21-26 comments:
La Fin de Girlhood has to be my favorite chapter now; I'd always wondered the reason Shinobu cut her hair, but the way she explained it was so real and makes her current style all the more meaningful.

The final page of the series is so simple and it took me a second to appreciate it, but the final lines are them finally saying how much they love each other. Every other chapter ends with affirmations of their love, but they were always internal. So the fact they were both able to actually say, out loud, they want to spend the rest of their lives together I just ;-; I'm so happy for them. But the way the speech bubbles were overlapped, it looked like another thought bubble at first glance and I totally missed the meaning.

ooooooooo yes yes yes, I read this one somewhere else but I'm so glad it made it on here; it's silly and adorable. Tia and Cynthia are such an odd couple I love it. Also holy light magic punches is so good

Thank you for picking this up after 6 years, this is such a sweet story (also. that boat is so sick? that's so cool??)
Are there any more chapters after Ch 3? This seems like a nice place to conclude, if now.

Jing Xiu at 1am on her birthday: she forgot :c

maybe it's something specific to do with the time I don't quite get, but I'm sure, before the end of the day, she'll get her gift. At least, we can hope!

oh wow it's been years since I've been into Sunshine, but this one brought me right back into the characters. It's a slow, kind of subtle story that brings in all the girls really well, and a great You POV. Very sweet, could have been an episode tbh. Thank you so much for translating!

Definitely interested in this one so far, and what the other girl's deal is. Based on the title, I feel like this story is gonna get a lot into identity. Wanna see where it goes. MC is cute so far too, really enjoy her

They're BOTH foxes?? Oh I'm very in now! I think it's super cool both of them are mythical creatures. Now I want to know if this is gonna be a story of constant misinformation, or of trickery one-upsmanship, or something else completely. Now that the dynamic isn't human/monster, I don't know where we're going, but I'm excited!

"GSH" = "Get some help" It's basically a Kaela catchphrase; she says it a lot to viewers commenting any sort of weird stuff

So the two girls who were in a idol group together left the group and opened a cosmetic brand together... That's adorable good for them :)

Arent they just doing some sponsored modeling gig like advertisement and stuff?

Based on her comment on developing the mascara formula and the girls at the beginning, its Tsuki's own brand. Though with such a limited shade range (that shade range being: my girlfriend) it's probably a brand you buy for the name lol

((...she might just means for the photoshoot, but it's way funnier to think she made the whole line with only one person in mind))

incredible that Sana ends up not being transphobic, instead she is gay and homophobic. an incredible combo.
a fun time full of terrible people, 100/10

I did like the ending tbh, I don't know how else it could've and I'm glad they get to live a life together. My only confusion is Nekomori. Without Lily, there's no reason for her to stay with the family, and no doubt she's been distraught for the whole month. I guess the bookshop owner, her uncle, knows because of Hana. Between that and the note, she'll probably learn too eventually. But to leave her out of the resolution is just pretty sad. I don't like when important side characters are shafted for the ending, but overall I did like this story a lot up to the end ^^

I've had my suspicions that Sumiko-sensei might be American, and this puts a lot of credibility to that lol (if there's any interviews about it, I don't know but I'd be interested to read) I mean, what western teen show DOESN'T have a prom arc; I can imagine her lamenting the idea that she couldn't write one for her characters, then going "Wait, this is my story! Of course they can!!"

love Narita so much, he is absolutely best boy and is just living for this love story just like all of us 10/10

I guess there were the kittens that died way earlier that Rena buried, which would be wild if it was foreshadowing but I also doubt it's where it's going

Huh? What chapter did this happen in? Guess I need to reread the early chapters since it's been so long since I read them.

Back in Chapter 6 when Chibi escaped in the old apartment. They pass a building and Rena says it's where she buried Chibis sibling, so I guess she wasn't the only abandoned kitten, just the one who survived. She was pretty sure Chibi wasn't gonna make it at first probably cus of that. But you never see the other kitten on screen

I think it would be pretty absurd to end on a tragedy in a manga with as cutesy and soft of a title as "My Cute Little Kitten". So I'm guessing it's all psychological and temporary they just need to finally properly talk

This was a whole lot of ideas at once and tbh it's all bullshit but I'm here for it, in the end it's a story about loss and humanity and lesbians, very good topics indeed
