This looks cute, but I've never really liked these long strip comics. I find them hard to read for some reason.

Same here. They always strike me as an excuse to get away with not doing proper page layouts.

I'm happy for Taiyaki. She deserves to have a better quality official version than this (ahem)...

But sad for myself, because I have no money.

Well, I read it. Bit of a curate's egg, frankly. Can't fault the art, the comedy raised a smile or two, but I feel that cramming serious elements into the 4-koma format is like trying to waltz in 4/4 time; it just doesn't fit.

Anyway, I see a new chapter of Yuru Oyako has appeared, so if you'll excuse me...

Just look at it all...

But is it enough to counter the blandness of the story?

Another bulk upload of something I should have read already, but haven't. My "To Read" list is growing, when it should be shrinking...

Les bians sont arrivées.

I Wanted To Create A Story That Would Be Included In An Otome Game Villainess Yuri Themed Anthology, But My Original Proposed Title Failed To Measure Up To The Minimum Length Criterion, So I Was Forced To Add Another Two Paragraphs Of Unnecessary Verbiage That More Or Less Summarized The Entire Plot In Order For It To Be Accepted For Publication.

Scenes like this make me feel confused.

But not for the reason you might think. No, what happened after that? Where did Jin-kun go? It's just left hanging, and meanwhile we're presented with another cliffhanger in the latest chapter. Also, tone shift.

^Thanks, Bakkin!

...So who was this Akari, again?

I believe sempai moved away.

Since a few people have said this, I'm going to spell out something that perhaps is less well known than I thought it was: It's a common misconception (and probably more so in Japan, where they generally have quite a shaky grasp of Christian theology) that people become angels after they die. Viewing the story in that light, it's pretty clear what actually happened to the senpai. (ⓛ︿ⓛ)

Japan has it somewhat easy with their food. Low sugar and animal fat, usually very cheap fish...If you avoid junk food and do some sports it should be enough.

Couldn't tell you what the situation is today but when I was there 'bout a decade back one thing that did stand out to me was the total absence of obese people. Was certainly a welcome change from the traditional homegrown beer bellies and newfangled Murikkan-style landwhales common 'round here.

You didn't see any sumo wrestlers, then? I always assumed the rest of the population is so skinny because all the food goes to fattening them up...

That was worth waiting for, in so many ways.

Actually, Ningiyau was working on this chapter back in July, would you believe, but it only got published on Pixiv Comic about a month ago. It seems to be updating fairly frequently now, so I assume this means she finally got all those bonus illustrations finished...

Wasn't too hard to find. :P

Our info does need to be updated though.

For anyone not in the US right now, thank your lucky stars.

Sadly, Donny Fartpants' malign influence isn't confined to your side of the pond.

Sato posted a short post-series bonus comic on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sasasatotototo/status/1290543335505985537

Dear Jesus,
Please give me the power to suddenly be able to read Japanese so I can enjoy these pics.
Love, Beefaroni

Since it's only two pages, I took a stab at translating it.

Text of Tweet:

Moritani-san and Murakami-san now they've dated a few times.

Page 1

Ugh...
I guess Murakami-san isn't here yet...
I came in the matching outfit she got me when went out together the other day, but...
isn't it weird how it shows my legs? It's embarrassing...
Hey, you!

Page 2

Waiting for someone? Got a minute?
Hwah!?
Eh!? W-who's this...?
I knew it, Murakami-san's matching...
[aside] Awawa
Hey.
That girl's cute, isn't she?
But I'm not letting you have her.
Murakami-san!
Hey there, honey!
[aside] I got in the way...

Note: Bottom panel of page 1 looks like a flashback, but I have no idea if Sato ever drew that episode.

This invention may spell the end of the yuri genre as we know it.

Only the "useless lesbians" sub-genre.
And the "they're dating, but it's a secret" sub-genre.
No, never mind, you're absolutely right.

I don't want to drag the anatomy debate on any further, but I'm just going to add this, since I already had it written up.

First of all, I'm not going to apologise for pointing out the artist's mistake, because I honestly thought people would be amused by it. I wasn't expecting a minor flame war to develop...

On the other hand, "Good job" does come across as horribly condescending, now that I read it again. I didn't do myself any favours there, did I? I didn't mean it that way, though; I really do think it shows a commendable lack of ego on Sato's part to outsource Misumi's artwork to someone else, and furthermore she chose that person wisely, because that artwork is top-notch. So I do apologise for my poor choice of wording.

(I also apologise to anyone who suffered a wrist injury as a result of my post.)

^Thanks for bumping this.

Should this not be neither Lizard nor Not Lizard, according to Dynasty usage, given the non-applicablity of the law of the excluded middle in such a case?

Who else thinks that Rinna is actually the idol Akane-chan?

No one? At least, they look completely different to me...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Akane does make an appearance in the flesh, though. Chekhov's Gun and all that.

It's a bit confusing but she doesn't have two right hands.

No, she really does. If that's a left hand, where's the thumb?

This was both less sexy and much more entertaining than I was expecting, given the tags.

At least it was short.

Damn you, Dynasty uploaders! Just as I think I'm getting caught up, another series pops up all in one lump! So, naturally, I had to read the whole thing in one go. I wrote these disconnected impressions as I went along, and I'm leaving them that way so you can see how it sucked me in...

It's a bit risky drawing a story where one of the characters is a "godly artist" when your own art isn't necessarily in that category. I mean, look at Misumi's arms in the top panel here. The left one is twice as long as the right, plus she has two right hands. But maybe that's what makes her such a good artist?

Having read a bit further, though, I see Sato actually got someone else to do the "godly" bits, which shows a commendable awareness of their own limitations. Good job.

Anyway, the occasional anatomical infelicity notwithstanding, the faces at least are uniformly hilarious, so I'm not going to complain too much.

And finally, the latest chapter left me bashing the space bar so hard. IhopeIdidn'tbreakit...

I have this weird feeling that Honoka will just blurt out her feeling just before Elisha goes back to the west.

But that will never happen, due to the time loop. Which can only be escaped from when everyone confesses.
