An uncensored change is crazy, right? Did something change?

An uncensored what?

in chapter 2 is all messy, with Misa saying it's only a place to sleep and eat, but by chapter 7 she's got it cleaned up and even has nice plants

Really? Ooh, nice.

never-ending lies

momoka and hajime have been together for some time

Are they actually a couple or do they just hang together a lot, bound by shared dead loved one?

If it's an American author with a foreign audience, maybe she should just be making a webcomic in English...

what's the deal with the whole "long strip" format anyway? they're so inconvenient to read.

Those are webmanhua/webmanhwa which are primarily intended to be read on a vertically scrolling smartphone interface. Tech tip: Gecko-based desktop browsers can emulate mobile device interfaces with Ctrl + Shift + M.

Does this work on Mac Firefox? What would change?

I think this one started off fine, but the 'sleepover' has wrecked the pacing.

Man, those MTL samples seem even worse than the dubious Arioto translations, which I slogged through.

Also I think in our few glimpses of Mai it seemed she'd like to meet Asumi again too, not that Asumi has a way of knowing that.

And they'd moved away or something, or chickened out? I forget the premise, but pretty sure the separation wasn't "A finds B (or sex with B) disgusting". So the weird obsession with a childhood friend at least has long-shot potential, rather than Doom.

The Harry Potter of yuri

I don't get the connection between the two.

Both this MC and Asumi are obsessed with some lost childhood friend. Asumi has even passed up on what could be a rather nice relationship with Nanao, to continue burning money on a quixotic quest for Mai.

OTOH, Asumi is cuter. And seems happier (she's having fun) and better adjusted in life, quest notwithstanding. And doesn't go into scary rants. So she's easier for readers to like.

poly ending?

Or read in Spanish

cute and hot!

That is top-notch storytelling like wowwwwww. Tying the fact that Hatori is very perceptive/aware of her surrounding to the way that she interacts with Hirose is crazy good (I have never read a manga that has this well-executed character interactions).

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_blue_star_on_that_day_ano_koro_no_aoi_hoshi has a lot of subtle side character stuff.

In case you're wondering why the previous chapter summary is actually the summary of this chapter, you'll have to take it up with the Bushiroad editorial staff. I have no idea why they did that.

Lol, thanks! I was wondering.

where the idea that it was illegal for medieval women to be literate came from

Disney's Beauty and the Beast, maybe?

Nothing much, just an announcement.

Yeah, please don't burn out again.

Thank Madoka your spelling is normally way better than this. :P

'guesstimate' is probably a common coinage, and has entered the dictionaries. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guesstimate

Art style had me checking whether it was by the Hino-san no Baka artist. (It is not.)

It's nice to see that her parents are doing well enough

Though definitely several steps down in the world, from rich noble to muddy farm.

Do you know how much Asumi won? She said 10 visits' worth. I have been assuming one visit is 30,000 yen. So 300k? ($2100 USD)

That sounds reasonable.

https://yuri-shinjuku.net/system.php?lang=en charges 28,000 yen for 1 hour, 410,000 for 90 minutes, 52,000 for 2 hours. 20,000 for a sexless 90 minute date. I don't recall if we know the length of Asumi's standard request.

(And if you pay in dollars you pay a hilariously poor exchange rate, 100 yen per dollar, vs. the current 142.)

We did get a glimpse of Marietta's old body, suggesting the premise won't be completely ignored. But this is a manga of a web novel, so who knows how much material there is.

Oh right, also Marietta having a bleed-through memory of the witch being burned. So there's some shadow on the fluff.
