We've seen characters shipped for crazier reasons and for even less of a reason. Besides they look like a solid pair here, plus this art is great.

Preview time!

Only one left after this one… I can't believe I followed and translated this series from beginning to end for 5 years. I'm gonna miss it. ;___;

Thank you for all your head work. As someone else said it took a bit of warming up to get into, with all the weaving together of various character relationships, but it all connected together nicely and it's been an enjoyable ride.

Why does it matter if they're undead or not? Also I'm not sure how creating a fictional head canon where they're alive makes things "easier", that just sounds like an unnecessarily convoluted way of justifying something you might think is morally wrong. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess, but I just think the method that makes life easier is to simply not care in cases like this. Cute girls kissing are cute, regardless of if they're zombies, ghosts, werewolves, centaurs, and so fourth.

I for one very much like where that leg is going. Also with all the debating of if Illya should be with Miyu or Kuro, I think they should all be together simultaneously as they are the trifecta of Fate/Kaleid girls. The perfect three-way relationship.

My god this is adorable, I love the art style.

This is better then it has any right to be.

And it has quite a lot of right to be.

Yeah this definitely has plenty of right to be as good as it is, I don't understand why it wouldn't? Outside of subjective and personal differences of opinion of course. However in my eyes this series is a perfectly adorable short with a fairly unique art style, that genuinely plasters a large dorky grin on my face every time I read it.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what company in NA might license and publish Cheerful Amnesia in print? Is the series tied to a certain company and can only be picked up by them? I keep thinking Seven Seas will Publish it, but after over a year of following their licensing announcements and submitting it in the monthly reader survey I'm starting to lose hope.

If someone is very knowledgeable on this subject there's also two non yuri series I'm hoping will get picked up.
"No Guns Life" and "Melt Away! Mizore-Chan". Might as well throw those out there while I'm at it. I'm completely in the dark as to who owns what and if companies are restricted from picking up certain titles or what.

Thanks for your time!

For anyone that wants or needs context, these characters from Houseki No Kuni are made entirely out of gemstones, each character a different and specific gemstone. Both of them are genderless and how these beings come into existence is explained in the story, of which I think I'd probably do a poor job explaining it myself. Bort is also a type of a diamond, meaning both these characters are types of diamonds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bort

and here I thought it was normal to sign a contract under the eyes of a attesting notary before you dare talk to someone.

I think I understand the humor you're going for, unfortunately jokes often go whooshing over my head. I'm usually dense and take things literally. I need a gif of Drax from GOTG saying "Nothing ever goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast".

Not directing this at you, but it's interesting that people sometimes don't understand you can be romantically and/or sexually interested in someone and if you read a situation properly you can kiss them. They can then say if it was okay or not. If you misread the situation you should apologize and go from there. Often there's a heat of the moment element and human relations are messy. Mistakes happen and if you know when too back off or continue then you're probably doing better than most people.

In this story she knew it was an appropriate time to make a move because of the conversation about sexuality and kissing. It was a relevant way of testing the waters. It was also consensual and nothing wrong happened, the kiss successfully progressed their relationship in a positive way.

Side Note: I hope we get another chapter with these two at some point, or a bonus page or two. It would be amusing if they kissed passionately in front of the girls that were claiming too be only "acting gay".

Edit: Phrasing.

"Hey look they're gay, I wanna rape you so lets be gay as well"

What?

They sound like they're trolling. Twisting events so they're intentionally misconstrued just so they can claim someone is being sexually assaulted, all for the sake of starting a fight or fake controversy. Lately and unfortunately it seems to be a common way for people to troll. Better to just ignore it in my opinion, and hope a mod slaps them on the wrist for trying to stir up problems.

I'm sure people have made this joke already, however I can't help but think "saved from the isekai truck". Also the double confession was extremely adorable.

OMG this was the most no cliche manga that I saw in a year xD

This went through the usual cliches and motions of any Groundhog Day type of story. Someone (typically the main character) has to learn a lesson in order to progress time. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but every story has cliches and this one is no exception. I think people often worry too much if something has cliches or doesn't, each author gets inspired by something and some previous work. There's a great part in the movie "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl" about how every book is connected in some way.

Overall I think it was cute and an enjoyable read.

I'm loving that we're getting at least a few more Fate works involving yuri, but we still need a lot more. This is adorable and I'm hoping for Fate content on here soon.

I see a couple of people mentioning that it's cliche. A lot of romance (if not all) is cliche to some extent, in general stories and even IRL situations involving romance have cliches just by the nature of romance alone, honestly any story of any genre even dating back hundreds...even thousands of years has cliches. Lots of stories have been inspired by the likes of Shakespeare and he was inspired by things before him. Personally I don't think being cliche is necessarily a bad thing, as long as it's well done or at least enjoyable. Which I for one enjoyed this greatly, it's straight forward and to the point, the art is nicely done and it's cute. Definitely something pleasant and easy going to take my mind off of a long day, so I'm looking forward to the future chapters for certain.

Also what's up with the alarming amount of comments talking about masturbating? Are the mods/admins asleep or is that behavior okay for some reason? It seems like it would/should be an inappropriate place for comments like those.

@Mieru, Thank you for the context. I need to catch up on the series soon and that sounds super adorable.

One thing I really hate about Japan, is in their anime and manga about gay couples. Whether it be Yaoi or Yuri. There's always one who is submissive and a bottom and one who is a top and a Dom. Always. Not every gay couple is like that. It's a real stupid stereotype.

Not every LGBT+ manga is like that.

Are you going to tell me that in Bloom Into You has a top and bottom couple or dom/sub couple? Because if so I couldn't disagree with you more. TANKOBU is a short story with two equally aggressive girls. Cotton Candy is a short story about two girls figuring out their sexuality, and realizing the opinions of the public shouldn't impact their relationship. Most of Milk Morinaga's works don't have a top or a bottom. There's a boat load of yuri out there that doesn't do that, I could spend a long time finding many yuri manga that proves your there's "always" a top and a bottom or dom/sub comment isn't true.

Also why do people so often single out "hating" Japan? In every country and culture there's people that enjoy power play, both LGBT+ and Hetero. Lots of authors and readers like someone that takes control of things and knows how to be in charge, while also making their partner feel safe. It's one of the most popular dynamics in romance stories I'd agree at least with that, I'd say it's not a bad dynamic however and it can add some really fun spice to the story. One of the best (in my opinion) comics focusing on a lesbian couple "Sunstone" is about a dom/sub couple. Are you going to start hating Croatia? Because that's where that author is from.

It's fine if you hate this manga, I hope you find something you enjoy more. Those of us that do enjoy it are going to keep doing so however.

Edit: Also there's a lot of relationships in stories and IRL where someone has more sexual knowledge than their partner, they can in general lead the sexual encounter. I think that's completely normal and natural. I know there's manga where a woman discovers and comes into her sexuality while falling in love with a woman who has more experience with dating women, so there can be that dynamic. I wouldn't necessarily call any of these a "top/bottom - dom/sub" relationship.

Not sure if we can post pictures/links on this site, it's been a bit since I've looked at the rules so I apologize if I'm breaking any, but I'm often reminded in these situations of the official relationship of Domino and Wolverine in a Uncanny X-men comic that came out ages ago. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b4/32/01/b432010f87d846bda9624f7743b1b447.jpg that specific page. Very rough love making, both of them enjoy it, no harm, no foul.

Hell yes, give me more Fate yuri doujins please. There's probably less than 10? Regardless there's far fewer than there should be. I've noticed in general with explicit doujin works (especially lately) that if there's a work involving two girls having sex the author will often make one or both into futa, which fine and all but I'd appreciate some more works that are simply yuri and don't have dicks.

Anyhow, this is super cute, I love Gudako/Shuten/Ibaraki.

Hello, I was attempting to link a friend to English volumes of Milk Morinaga's works that Seven Seas has published and I discovered that Rightstuf and Amazon are both selling volume 1 and 2 of "Hana & Hina After School" normally, however volume 3 isn't available for regular retail at this time? It's not on Rightstuf's website and it's only being sold at a high price via 3rd party sellers on Amazon. I'm pretty certain I bought the volume when it came out, so I'm curious what happened, were there printing or translation errors? Any information people might have would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Gotta be real, the art is not my cup of tea

Same. It's because the anatomy is all over the place.
And also I don't like it when a girl is basically drawn like a guy with boobs.

It all looked fine at the start. The artist can draw a good face.

I don’t like the term “Tomboy” because it implies that a girl must be like a boy to do certain things. Kase-san is tagged Tomboy and I don’t see that at all.

That said, there are women that have very male like appearances. That’s not my interest, but I’m certain that it is someone’s.

What exactly counts as a "drawn like a guy with boobs"? I don't think characters like Kase-San count as they're maybe a little boyish in appearance but she's still feminine. People have different perspectives however, because there can be muscular women that might be somewhat masculine both in entertainment like manga and in real life. Wouldn't it be insulting to say she looks like a man with boobs?

There's also some women that just look naturally boyish in real life and manga, I'm pretty certain you'd get slapped or told off if you walked up to a woman and said she looks like a guy with boobs. I honestly think you'd completely deserve to be slapped for that.

Also I don't really see how "Tomboy" is necessarily a negative term. I see what you're saying on one hand, I often see it as a visual description, but I suppose it depends on how you use the word and who is using it. I think it makes sites when websites use Tomboy to tag art and so fourth where a girl intentionally is dressing like a guy. Like Naoto from Persona or Kino from Kino's Journey.

But yeah, ultimately I think women don't have to be feminine and guys don't have to be masculine. Let people IRL do their thing and let authors create the characters they want. Edit: I hope it would be obvious but this is includes, clothing choices, hair style and length, muscle tone, makeup, and so fourth for everyone.

I enjoyed the episode of Love Live that focused on Rin Hoshizora. A big part of her character is her fear of wearing dresses and skirts, because she was teased/bullied for wearing a skirt when she was younger due to her boyish looks. In the episode some of the girls aren't able to make it to the concert in time which puts her in a position of facing those fears. She takes center stage and wears the dress that's required for her fill in position of group lead. In the end she knocks it out of the park and everyone loves her.

eats popcorn

This. People get so worked up over something that's pretty tame all things considered. She teased the other girl and the other girl seemed perfectly capable of telling her off if she didn't like it. Just seemed like some odd bit of humor.

Not really my cup of tea per sea, but people get really worked up over almost nothing. The bitter comments saying "oh how I'm glad it's dropped!". You could just you know, not read it? Let other people enjoy it or something. Heaven forbid other people like the things you dislike.
