Soon we will all have cute anime girls/boys/etc as our personas.

I mean, we already have them as our profile pictues. Having them as personas is the next logical step.

Anime is one step closer to finally being real.

Is Mikanuji trying to pass off OoT as a multiplayer FPS? This is an outrage! Time to drop an otherwise enjoyable manga I've been following since the beginning! Harumph!

You can always tell if a child is a science baby because their hair color will be somewhere between both parents, but will otherwise look like a miniature version of just one of them.

I don't make these rules, it's science.

There was an Eli x Umi doujin uploaded earlier this year. Considering LL!'s age and the fact that EliUmi is an uncommon pairing, that's not too bad. It wasn't even either of their birthdays (I think? I don't pay that much attention to character "birthdays"... except for Nozomi because hers is 6/9 and that had to be intentional, right? Right?).

It is sad that we'll likely never see nearly as many of them as the more popular pairings (even if I do like those as well). Hopefully tMnR and others will bless us with their majesty for a long time to come.

Cute. Too cute. The 2nd year OT3 really is wonderful. There's something about these three in such an adoring relationship that I just can't get enough of. It's definitely my favorite when it comes to Honoka, though I love TubaHonk as well.

I did not bother reading this doujin, but just came here to comment that the title made me think of that song "Don't worry. Be happy."

Understandable. Making a bad joke always takes priority for me. :P

Nobody's ever gonna make me believe that this girl will ever have money problems.

Okay. I know this is meant as a joke, but it's not very funny.

Very little about this manga is genuinely funny, actually. Not for someone who suffers similarly, at least.

I hate that I relate so closely to her, it's painful. The more I read this, the more I wonder how much longer it'll be before she starts contemplating suicide. Every time she does something good, it comes crashing down at the end. Yes, she went out to a festival. That's great, getting out of the house is great. Then she got separated from her sister, and, upon reuniting with her, was humiliated. It's not just about making steps forward, because there's steps back as well, and those always feel more significant.

I've suffered like her for so very long, and after a long enough time it becomes impossible to remember what it was like when I didn't feel this horrible, and impossible to imagine a future where it isn't this way.

I'm not sure how many people here are like me, it seems like there's at least a handful of others with similar experiences. But when you've suffered so greatly for so long, you start to believe that it's normal. I was speaking with a doctor recently for a brief medical history interview (because I moved and have to get all that shit sorted out) and when I was asked about depression, my sentence ended with something along the lines of "but that's life, right?" and when she responded with "It doesn't have to be." I was overwhelmed. I had genuinely come to believe that I was going to feel like the worst piece of shit on earth for the rest of my life, and that was what was proper and meant to be. Even now I find it hard to believe I'll ever feel better, but I try to remember what she said to give myself some hope.

I'm 29, and the past 15 or so years of my life have been spent trying to find a way to allow me to feel normal. I've tried medication after medication, but nothing seems to work well enough to get me out of the downward spiral I've been in over those 15 years. After a long enough time of getting worse, you stop believing it can get better. It doesn't matter what merits you might have, or what other people see in you. It doesn't matter if you're smart or attractive or anything else someone might want.

The worst part of it all is that it's incredibly difficult to get other people to understand. When you feel suicidal, you don't want to tell anyone because you're scared of how they'll react. And if you do tell someone, your fears are realized, because nobody expects someone to want to be dead. I can't even begin to describe what it's like to go from admitting to someone you love that you're having suicidal thoughts, to having to do damage control for telling them that. It's the worst. You've told someone that you need help, but instead you have to help them not worry about it? It's a catch 22. If you admit to how bad you feel, you make other people feel bad.

I apologize for the giant post, and the likely incoherent rambling. I needed to get that off my chest, and hopefully it will help at least one person who doesn't get it better understand what it's like to be like Neeko. I know I shouldn't read this if it makes me unhappy, but there aren't a lot of places that you can see people like yourself when you have mental health problems, because nobody wants to think about them (and I can't blame anyone for that, I wish I had no reason to think about them either).

the author is out of ideas already or something ? she keep using the same jealousy trope. it's starting to get annoying and lazy and not interesting anymore. what the hell with you Yamada, how many time Kase told you she only have eyes for you, and even after all that time being together you still don't have any trust in Kase ?

It's not that surprising, and it's rooted in something quite different from when they were in high school. Kase is rooming with an attractive girl that shares her interests. If she were living with Yamada instead I doubt we'd see nearly as much of Yamada's insecurity. Even being told that she's the only one Kase loves, there's always room for worrying. I mean, if your partner were sharing a room with someone you viewed as more suited to them than you, would you never worry? It doesn't help that Kase's roommate treats Yamada rather coldly.

Honestly a lot of the problems here would be made much easier if more people actually knew about their relationship. The only person who knows so far is Mikawa. Fukami thinks that Kase and Yamada are just friends, and that Yamada is being overly clingy. If and when she finds out they're a couple, I'm sure she'll be apologizing to Yamada.

It is frustrating that Yamada still worries so much when we all know she doesn't need to, but we know more than she does about... everything, really.

^^^ I was confused until I figured out you meant M!Byleth

edit: does anyone else automatically think F!Byleth whenever someone says "Byleth"? Like is there anyone who thinks "Byleth, the character" rather than "Byleth the woman/man"?

^ Same here, friend. Same here.
...though I wouldn't mind Edelgard or Dimitri doing it either...

Stronk sensei indeed~

edit 2: I just noticed that F!Byleth has normal hair while M!Byleth has green hair. That's a clever detail.

@DY4Y I'd like to think it was handmade for a gift, and whichever of them made it put that on there. :)

^ It's a basketball joke, don't worry if you don't get it
Maki's wearing the jersey for an NBA team, the Miami Heat, so I treated it as a ship in the shipping war people were doing. It's not a joke I expect most of the people here to get. :P

I can't believe people are arguing about Maki x Eli and Maki x Nico when the real travesty here is Maki x Miami Heat. I cannot accept this. No self-respecting idol would root for LeBron.

No Yuri no live I don't read this actually why are here and there always get mangas I thought dynasty is Yuri and when is even allowed to post het and who is allowed to do it?

There's manga tagged with het going back to 2006.

Does that answer your question?

Best I've read in quite some time. I'll certainly be looking out for more of Akashi's work in the future.

First of all, I'm amazed by how deep the water was when she fell from the pier. They must have built it right next to a giant sinkhole or something.

Secondly, how does one watch anime underwater?

I have it on good authority that they've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty, whozits and whatzits galore.

What's the TL team got to do with it? (somewhat genuine question, I can't read Japanese)

... I'm really getting tired of seeing people ask questions that clearly indicate they simply stopped at the last actual comic page and didn't bother to look at the subsequent credits page. Just because most such pages only list the names of the individuals involved in the translation doesn't mean that all of them are so limited, and even those groups that usually do so do occasionally add important info in one of those pages for one reason or the other.

...What? I'm confused as to why you're assuming they skipped the credits. They were asking why the other person was saying the translators were somehow responsible for making Tsuruta look better than he actually was (somehow). I'm interested in what they meant as well. Since I also can't read japanese, I wouldn't know what the original script made him out to be. Was he "insanely creepy" in the raws? Or did he just come across as kinda lame and immature like he did in the scanlation?

this series is Yuri Yaoi and Het depending on how you view the MC and whom you are rooting for. For me, I pick the yuri interpretation.

There is actually a story on this site with All of those tags and only two main characters

You can't just say that and not give us a title or a link. XD

I'm not sure which they're referring to, but take your pick, I guess.

I'm not sure we really need any gender related tags (other than Genderbender of course). There's just not a strong enough reason to tag this with anything cut and dry right now. Yasuda has stated that he still identifies as a guy, so he's certainly not enby. The most important thing we've seen with any relation to his gender is Orie (and now the other girl whose name escapes me at the moment) crushing on him as a guy. The new guy likes him because he (mistakenly) assumes he's a girl. Something might change, but at the moment there's nothing that's either important enough or clear enough to warrant tagging.

Why is the wholesome tag completely arbitrary?

Well, there's definitely things you wouldn't put it on. Certainly there's some merit in that, right? :P

something about Fugace's art style makes everything they draw look like Adult Life and I'm perfectly okay with that.

Maki worried about not being cute is probably the cutest Maki there is.

Regarding the licking wounds thing, saliva is a natural analgesic, but since it's generally just a bad idea to ingest other people's blood the trope can be (quite justifiably) off-putting. Hopefully they've gotten their hepatitis shots. :P

I'm very pleased with how this is going. Things are starting to come full circle (or full triangle). Rin has fallen in love with Mayuki, all the links are in place. Rin to Mayuki, to Akira, back to Rin.

As we all know, this ends up being the recipe for eons of Aaaaaangst. But with Akira taking over the "extracurricular" teaching, she'll inevitably learn that Mayuki is in love with her. After that Akira basically just has to reconcile wanting to be someone's most important person with the fact that she loves Rin, who simply doesn't work that way. Mayuki's affection will undoubtedly play a significant role in that process.

Really though, my favorite part of this chapter was definitely Akira. She was fantastic in this chapter. That intense reaction was so perfect for someone in her situation. The anger boiling just below the surface, the burning jealousy. She was so incredibly, believably human. (and her suffering brings my soul nourishment.)
