I was surprised by how not confusing as hell this was in the beginning... and look where it is now. Well, everyone's a bear now, everyone's happy, I guess that's how it's gonna end.

You know, it just occurred to me... wouldn't she kind of feel her eye being eaten and also be able to detect that... she can't see out of her eye that just got eaten? I guess the excuse for that would be "she was in shock" or whatnot, though I also have to question if it's possible to eat an eyeball like that... well, this manga isn't trying to make any sense, so I won't try to make any sense of it either.

Spending time on 4chan pays off every now and then.

"Viola, Ranka, Momo and Koharu are lesbians. Rinka is "lesbefriends", Mana a bitch who will fuck anything for money until the end, and Manpukumaru is foodsexual. Still more lesbians than Waifu Kagura."

Lesbefriends...? So, what exactly does that mean? Classic anime subtext kind of thing? Friends with benefits? I don't know...

Also, out of the entire cast (I don't know how large the cast is, but it seems like Senran Kagura has a huge cast, so I'd assume that this has a huge cast too), only four to six of them are gay? And the tagline for the poster is "Weaponized lesbians"?!? (Okay, I'll admit that got a laugh out of me). I mean, I'll never play this game since I don't have a Vita, but that's still pretty disappointing. I never watched the anime either and I don't plan to, but from reading the summary, it seems that everyone is gay in the anime, so this is even more disappointing... it's a shame that this kind of crap is happening even in a game like this (though I guess that means all the other characters are in the "kissing just to power up" kind of situation which apparently isn't all that uncommon).

Well, today continues the string of introducing new manga with weird, unnecessarily long titles. Yesterday, we had If a Lie is Not Told, It Can Not Become Yuri and today we have... this. I wonder what crazy thing we'll see tomorrow.

Also, WHAT THE HELL?!?

As long as it doesn't become a plotless murderfest....

Kind of weird seeing you say that with that avatar.

Murderfests are alright as long as they're FUNNY murderfests. If Henai Girl suddenly turned into a murderfest, I would love it.

All of Kawai Rou's stuff has been pretty good... except for Shoujo Shikkaku, but even that is kind of interesting. More importantly, they're all yuri, so I hope this'll turn out to be yuri too. As long as it doesn't become a plotless murderfest, I have faith in Rou's ability to deliver a good product.

So, is Namori a guy or a girl? That goal of getting ripped is unusual.

I was getting pretty worried, but then I stumbled upon this picture while I was reading through the Image Comments: http://ks.c.yimg.jp/res/chie-que-12157/12/157/048/597/i320. It's the Namori steamy image with glasses girl and other girl. Apparently, she's the one on the far left but who knows if that's true. Until proven otherwise, I'm just gonna hold on to my hope that Namori's a girl.

Also, I can definitely relate to her working out issues. "This is it, I'm gonna start getting into shape today! ... Nah, I'll do it tomorrow."

Hype was fueled by vagueness, and lies.
they kept everything as vague as possible, not responding clearly, not denying anything, and flat-out lying.

It's amazing how ppl still defend this. But oh well, ppl defend anything on the internet, even those guys with slot-machine websites for cs:go weapon skins who faked videos to promote em, not telling anyone that they are actually the owners of the website... yes ppl defended that.

Well, that's pretty disappointing... No Man's Sky looked so great in all the pre-release stuff, but I guess this kind of thing really shouldn't be a surprise these days. I was reading this thing on Reddit that showed all the false promises HG made, and it made me even more disappointed... I would link it but I don't know how to here.

For more positive news, Ladykiller in a Bind (or My Twin Brother Made Me Crossdress as Him And Now I Have to Deal With A Geeky Stalker and a Domme Beauty Who Want Me In A Bind if you prefer that name) is releasing on September 23rd for 30 dollars. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's Christine Love's first actual yuri story (and a pretty explicit one to boot). Digital and Analogue have the typical blank slate protagonist (though I haven't Analogue yet so perhaps it's not) and, while don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story (guess Love loves long titles) had a yuri couple, it was kind of offset by the het student/teacher route... I mean, I usually run through all the routes in a VN, but FUCK THAT SHIT. I'm pretty hyped for it, especially the whole social manipulation thing, but... considering what I was just talking about, it'd probably be better to wait and see. The demo's up on the website if you're interested and I found it pretty entertaining.

This relationship is psychologically and emotionally fucked and I need more of it.

Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing when I agree with a comment like this...

It's always a good thing so long as it's yuri.

I mean, I appreciate the romance of the situation and all, but having drinks and sex in the middle of the battlefield seems like a great way to get yourself killed.

Bloody hell, was the black hair guy drama not over? It's so unnecessary and idiotic, pls stop.

Did he have drama before? This isn't the same as the guy who was pursuing her and being a dick. This is her playboy bandmate who as far as I know only just recently turned out to be using the "going for all different girls because he can't have her" schtick.

He didn't have that much drama before the whole "in love with Pu Yi" thing was revealed, but, really, this has gone on for way too long anyway. Just have him stab himself to death or something please.

All of her stories seem to fit the TV Tropes category of "Romantic Two-Gril Friendship" to me. Not quite story S or subtext, but not just good friends. Though maybe "best friends" or "two misunderstood girls find each other" kind of feeling.

At least her story with the robot teacher and her student had pretty obvious non-Romantic Two Girl Friendship stuff. If only she continued to write interesting stuff like that and not this cliched stuff...

Wait, maybe I'm missing something here, but when did Kureha find out that Ginko accidentally killed her mom? Also, WHAT THE HELL? I could take the rest of the bizarre stuff so far, but that just came out of left field...

Definitely ditching my old "best confession scene ever written" avatar for this lovely, not creepy at all moment.

So... correct me if I'm wrong, but... Mitsuko ignored Sumika and turned everyone against her because she was in love with her? I guess she got rejected or something? This chapter revealed that Sumika's ridiculously oblivious, so maybe she rejected her by accident or something... though it also revealed she was ridiculously perceptive, so I don't know... this happens all the time in stories (actually, does it? I remember reading stuff like this before in various stories, but I can't remember what the names of these stories are... extreme tsundere stuff, maybe, I don't know), but I still can't comprehend why anyone with an ounce of sense would think this would be a good idea...

Though, I guess that it's at least good that's Sumika is (probably) going to get herself a girlfriend in this thing, unlike the anime where she died and... became the Bear God or whatever it was.

I see the Ice Queen's melting.

Well, I never thought I'd say this in a yuri thing, but... I feel sorry for that dude.

I thought I've seen some weird things in my life, but... nah, I've seen weirder things before.

Just finished reading the whole series now. The Yurim storyline felt a bit pointless, but I'm sure she's gonna pop up again later in the story to be an asshole. In general, I'm kind of annoyed by all these side arcs because I want to see Gayoon's and Soha's relationship develop, but... man, the ending to Chapter 47 was brutal. What a great payoff. I feel so bad for everyone involved. Hopefully, Sol and Su-Young can make up later, but... I can see how the whole point of the arc might kind of be lost if that happened.

Man, that damn chapter name and first scene got me super worried... After it revealed what was going on, I was still pretty worried. Well, I guess it's at least more a Happy Sugar Life situation than a loli porn situation or something: it looks horrible at first sight, turns out to not be as horrible... but is really still pretty bad (talking about that dude who was like "Say pain, pain, go away" or something, I forgot his name).

Also, Sato cut out those two guys eyes? yikes.

After all, those were eyes that saw Shio. That's practically rape. Rapists must be punished, right?

Yes, I decree that, from now on, any filthy man who so much as gazes upon a woman shall have their eyes taken out! (whoops, that includes me, I guess. WHAT WILL I DO IF I CAN'T READ MY YURI?)

Edit: Also, Faust, thanks for the in-depth analysis... I'm seeing Shio in a completely different light now, really. I hope she turns out to be innocent, but... yeah, probably not.

By the way, it's been quite a while since the last chapter of Swap ⇔ Swap released... what happened?

It's just the way Doki Fansubs work, iirc. I assume that they buy and scanlate the volume when it comes out. Like, for example, Hitoribocchi. They did the entire first volume, and months later only when the 2nd one came out did they continue.
From their site:

I was wondering what happened to that series... well, it's been about eight months since the last release, so we'll have more Swap ⇔ Swap goodness soon! (how do you make that double-sided arrow thing anyway?)

Finally made an account here! It's been a year since I first started coming here, so it's really about time, but whatever... I'm going on a favoriting spree right now, so I'll just need to find a good yuri profile pic (I'll take any suggestions).

About this thing... you know, it contains everything I hate (Ren Jian, Pu Yi, and Xin Cheng's ex, I'm looking at all you assholes... I guess those last two aren't really that bad, but those guys still suck), but I still love it so much. I don't know what it is I love about it, but... I still love it. Maybe the fact that it's Chinese? I always like seeing yuri from other countries that aren't Japan.
