as a side note, I wonder how tf people can actually get off on nsfw manga. The cringey dialogue, fucked up anatomy, and over exaggerated orgasm scenes are too hilarious to take seriously
I mean it depends a lot on the artist like with regular manga. A good artist and writer can make super hot, steamy and even sweet lewd scenes. For myself I can rarely get off to 3D porn, it's just "too much" a lot of the time for me.
This, and it's also stimulation for the imagination. Everyone has their preferences and fetishes, plus artists work hard to make their works arousing to their target audience. Additionally not every art style is meant to be realistic.

I unfortunately knew the friend was going to die, the author telegraphed it in a really predictable way in my opinion. They built up the whole "oh we'll always be together" angle just for the sake of killing off one of the characters, because they wanted to add a depressing angle to the story. I enjoyed the one-shot a lot more because it was fun and didn't force sorrow into it.
The ending to this one felt like the love part was pretty out of left field. The author's other work on here "I beg of you" also felt like it had a weirdly abrupt ending. They have this kind of weird...style of writing, where the characters mostly feel kind like aliens. "I beg of you" also had themes of copying, and characters not understanding how to act like human beings. Not in a regular dramatized romance sort of way either, but more just that they act like they're from another planet and don't know even what a human is. It's very bizarre, I know some people call that "refreshing", but for me it's just baffling and not really enjoyable unfortunately.
Edit: Regardless, thanks for the translation! Also the April Fools version was really funny.

@Mimiyaah Thank you. I'm glad at least someone appreciates the series for what it is. Overall it's about Violet's growth and learning how to deal with the world, it's not "just" gratuitous tragedy and sorrow. The series has a positive message about surviving tragedy and sorrow, followed by moving on with life while remembering those that we've lost over the years. Which I think is a fantastic and powerful message.

The story is extremely muddled and all over the place. In my opinion sex can be fine, if the author wants to draw sex that's fine. It's just the author didn't really find any way to naturally include the sex, or make it feel like a proper part of the story.
As "bitfarb" said the sex was probably a way for the main character to release her desires and feelings. Which can work, I just think the author poorly conveyed that and didn't do it well.
However I think that was the biggest problem with the entire story, the sex wasn't so much a problem, as just the entire story not properly conveying any of it's ideas and it didn't properly execute anything. That said the art is well done at the very least.
The swimsuit chapter would have been my favorite chapter, if I was a loney otaku boy, who never talked to an actual girl before.
Said the otaku boy on the manga site who just read the swimsuit chapter. Glass houses and kettles etc.
Im my defence, I always hated the whole idea of fan service. I mean this chapter would have been just fine with our heros just being well drawn in swimsuits. I didn't need the way over the top, close up crotch, and boob shots. They just made me feel like a pervert. I think I would have felt less drity, if the characters just stripped down and had sex.
Just earlier I was saying how the comments on this site are often a mess, then I come here and see you essentially saying anyone who enjoys fan-service is a "lonely Otaku boy, that's never talked to a girl before". A lot of females enjoy fan-service, a lot of females make fan-service. This is like that Mighty No. 9 trailer, that went out of it's way to say anime fans are all boys that can't get a girl to go to prom with them, despite there being a lot of female anime fans and a lot of women working in the industry.
It's exhausting to see petty childish insults like this. It's pointless and doesn't progress the comment section in a positive or productive way. Anyone that likes fan-service is fine, anyone that doesn't is also fine. Neither side should be slinging insults at each other.
Reading the comments to this manga is almost always a mistake.
This comment section is NOT like a box of chocolates; I always know what to expect.
It's gotten worse lol
Comment sections are often a mess in general. Dynasty comment sections are often a really huge mess I've noticed. I've had some disagreements with people as well admittedly, of course not everyone is going to see eye to eye, but good lord the comments on this manga are the worst I've seen in a long time. It's just a horrible mess that gets worse every time a new chapter drops.
I just think because the manga is hurtfully real and so triggering hence everybody trying to find a way to release their emotions, including me by commenting.
Was just about to say the same. This manga is more like an LGBT comic than your usual yuri which is usually just two girls blushing, happiness and "no men" which is important to them. A lot of people are not used to it, I guess.
A lot of romance stories period are fantastical in nature, idealistic romance that people themselves likely never experience. In books, movies, anything, and with any sexuality, gay, straight, so fourth. I personally don't think think that makes them less LGBT+, or whatever sexuality the romance is focusing on. I think just some story creators, and their audience, simply want a romance story that's straightforward and cute. None of the regular hardships most people experience in life. Life is already hard enough, so I don't view wanting something cozy to read as a bad thing.
Also I don't know if a person can really say that this manga is so much more realistic. The husband is a cartoon villain in the most ridiculous ways. Maybe people disagree with me, and that's fine. As I said previously, not everyone sees eye to eye.

Tbh, same. I'll just have a trans guy head canon for Kanda for now. If you tweak some of the dialogue a bit it can pass as a kinda stressful but fun trans manga
Is the misunderstanding that annoying? I guess we all have different thresholds. To me 'headcanon' always feels weird, like once I start changing things why not change more or just do it all in my head?
Yeah I'm genuinely not a fan of head canon most of the time. You might as well just write your own story if you're going to change the entire narrative. Especially since it's clear that she still identifies as female, she just doesn't want her girlfriend to break up with her from finding out that she's not a guy.
If you're just going to rewrite the manga to her being trans, you're changing the entire narrative of this particular story, and changing what the character is. The entire core concept of the story changes, and at that point you might as well just write your own story with your own characters, one about a trans character that's nervous about their girlfriend finding out that their trans, and make it focused on that. This story is however not that in the slightest. I can't stop people from doing head canon of course, but I just personally think it doesn't work in a case like this.
Edit: That said though, I definitely think the story needs to get the reveal over with. Progress the characters through that point, see how their dynamic changes. Have them communicate.

This site is the reason. :-) The readers you mention still cannot internalize the notion that Dynasty is capable of hosting anything but yuri series.
Yeah, which is kind of surprising since we've gotten a decent number of non yuri works on here over the years.
Also ships are understandable, and yuri fan art of this series would be nice. Just people shouldn't expect any canon yuri in the actual manga.
Is true, this is an action series with super heroes and drama, not a yuri work, is not promoted as yuri, is not structured for romance... if yuri happens it would be a surprise (and maybe at the very end) so if you're here waiting for that you'll be disappointed. Is like reading kimetsu no yaiba and wondering why he hasn't kissed any girl yet.
So you mean the people that comment on this series almost if not every chapter demanding yuri, should stop?
Yeah unfortunately I highly doubt they're going to stop. The series as you said never has any suggestion of yuri, and isn't tagged as such. Yet for some reason the people only reading for hopes of yuri are just going to keep coming back. They only have themselves to blame for their disappointment at this point.

I was hoping to see comments about people reeling about the newest chapter but it's a shitshow for some reason? I thought people would want to kill Tazune as much as I do but I guess not.
I daresay the vast majority of the readers wants to kill Tazune as much as you do, and wishes for Maki and Midori to be happy together. The problem is the very vocal minority of Tazune devotees. It's always the same thing in these threads. Have you read "Childhood Friend Yuri" by Garun? It's about a girl who falls for her trans friend and the two become a yuri couple. Well, most people who read the story loved it... but a small minority of transphobic sickos flooded the thread with hate messages, and forced Nezchan to intervene and delete all that crap. (And there were pages of it!)
Here, we have a small number of peepz shitting bricks of text to explain that Tazune's abusive behavior towards his woman (verbal abuse, emotional abuse, public humiliation, and now physical violence too) is okay because "that bitch deserves it." >_< Sigh. Il faut de tout pour faire un monde, I guess — or a forum.
It's always weird how much of a mess online forums become. I genuinely can't tell if the people who like the husband are trolling, if they just need help.
A threesome has to happen, that's the only logical and legal course of action.
Mmmhmmm nothing happened
In this chapter? We got some relationship building, which I think is fine. Slow and steady progress with having the main two get closer.
Am I the only one who's linking "being taken away by the mermaid" to suicide by drowning and finding this really dark?...
You're definitely not the only one. The series has a very eerie and kind of surreal feeling to it, I have a strange inkling of a notion that it's not supernatural but instead the mother drowned. I really hope the story doesn't end in total heart break.
Very cute but not sure how I feel about the hinted issue of dependency.,., it hits me in a weak spot.
I didn't get that from this at all personally. The way I view this story is that, when your partner goes out to spend the day with a friend, it can get a bit lonely being home alone, which I think is entirely normal. So it didn't seem like dependency, more just that she wanted to comfort her girlfriend and enjoy their time together in the morning, before going out and spending the day with someone else. Which again seems like a pretty normal relationship to me.

Telling someone what they should write about is entirely self centered.
I'm not telling anyone what to write. I was simply explaining why certain cliches or story ideas annoy people more. As I said, it's usually not a big issue until you start consuming a lot of media and certain scenarios show up much more often than other. If it was depending on me, of course I'd tell every artist to write stuff to cater to my taste and satisfy my interests, but that's obviously unrealistic.
Fair enough. As I said in another post I do consume a lot of media, but I'm of the mind that I don't understand entirely why it annoys people. Yes common trends and ideas are often retold many times by different authors, but authors in general just write what they like and want to write about. It's our choice to continue consuming the story or not, getting annoyed by it just seems like a waste of time to me.
For people saying everything is cliche in some way and that certain things are part of human nature, hence unavoidable, you should remember what the definition of cliche is:
"an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original
meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was
considered meaningful or novel"Sure. Cliche or tropes are not bad in and of itself, it's all about execution, yada, yada, yada. The point is variety. If everyone always include the same things, because "it's realistic" or "it happens in real life" then fiction becomes oversaturated with it and it becomes boring. It's fine reading few times, but if almost every work uses it, it starts to becoming annoying. The point is, it's fiction, not real life. Good works give you illusion of realism, while still being good stories. Ignoring the escapism and wish fulfillment part of reading fiction (aka people got enough of that irl), those kind of stories are done to death at this point, while so many other possibilities are not even touched. It's the same thing as with love triangles. It's not that stuff like that doesn't happen, but rather because it does, it's one of the most obvious ones people could write about and use in their stories, at this point it just comes off as lazy, because tt feels like there's zero creativity behind it.
What becomes trite and irritating is a matter of perspective. Not every story is going to be for you. Telling someone what they should write about is entirely self centered. If someone wants to write about love triangles, then so be it. You have a choice of consuming the work or not. You can avoid it. Other people can enjoy this manga and you don't have to.
There are tropes and cliches in the stories that you enjoy. Unless you enjoy literally nothing, then I only feel sorry for you and I hope you find some form of happiness.
Here's the reason why I'm not a fan of the "cliche argument". Nothing is truly original, everything is inspired by something, everything has tropes and cliches, parts of other stories and ideas. As one fantastic work I saw said, the nice thing about stories is that they're all connected, this author read something and was inspired to make their own story or spin on that type of story, the author that inspired them was inspired by the stories of another author themselves, and those stories were inspired by yet another author's tales, and so on. We're all connected just like our stories, especially on a scale where we can now share stories on a global level these days.
Plus I always go back to this point, since Shakespeare became popular pretty much every story has elements of his works in some fashion, some kind of inspiration or thread linking back to his writing, and Shakespeare himself wasn't entirely original.
Yes I've been the audience for stories similar to this before. I've enjoyed so many different stories over the years that have been told in many different ways. I'm here to see how this plays out, and how the author handles this type of story. I'm not saying it will be good, or even bad. I'm here for the ride, and I'm enjoying the art style at the very least.
Plus ultimately a wide range of stories helps with contrast, and seeing how different authors approach various subjects can help you define your own preferences, how you would prefer a story to unfold. This again is entirely my own perspective and take on stories.
