It's not that the sepia filter sets this manga apart from others necessarily, it's that that's how it's always been, for us reading the manga on this site. A sudden change like that is going to feel jarring, no matter how many different manga use the filter.

Yeah, the salt very much missed the point, but I appreciate them implementing it even if they disagree

Readers don't really give a shit about this or that technical trick or original meanings or correct artistic experience, they care about their reading experience. A good scanlator always asks "how does this text choice or change or sound effect placement affect the reader?"

Someone, please, anyone, photoshop the Jojo to be continued on the bottom there.

Abandoned seems to fit what Nene feels. She nearly starved to death in some apartment when her owner disappeared, she's only been sentient for a year, and she learned her past in a dream the day of this chapter.

In order to be a Nekomata, a cat has to be unusually long-lived, so her age was intentional

What about that panel where mahoro says she's a place Nene can come back to, though? Now that's what this chapter is all about

Tumblr probably IS the platform where queer theory made the leap to mainstream. If I had to guess, the pipeline, probably starting in the 70s, was something like queer community>academia>queer community>Tumblr>Facebook>mainstream media and politics>zeitgeist

I'm oversimplifying though

Not translating that "fart" sfx was a bad idea and ruined it.

Would've been tricky since it's apparently the same sound as the pop rifles.

There are many, many fart sound effects in English though, and the sound is revealed on the following page to not be a rifle shot. It does kill the gag unfortunately. But also, none of the sfx are localized in this series, so that's just one of the risks of doing a silent series.

That being said, we've hit peak comedy. The only thing left is banana peels and pies in faces.

Perhaps they'll have a change of heart for one of the defining features of this manga

We need some upgrades to our 4D chess skills here. Who was texting Nadeshiko is important, but we'll find out that answer once we figure out which two of the other three were sending pics to each other. When we solve that pair, the remaining one must be Nadeshiko's girlfriend

And Jaysus, Yuzu—those nails. You really aren’t planning on ever getting any, are you?

Even after Matsuri warned her in that montage at the end of Citrus

I don't understand what y'all get out of grasping at the latest clues in every chapter for why this is still the same continuity as the one shot. It gives me a feeling similar to watching a friend pick at a scab

It's not the same continuity, but it's the same concept played out over a long series. These two don't have any chemistry, lack any understanding or common ground, have opposing views on what being in a relationship means, and the whole story is based on them getting together on a whim (imagine a relationship starts in Borat when he uses the line "you like sex? I like sex. Very nice!"). Sure, they have their own hangups, but that isn't what makes them a bad match, so when they overcome them it isn't going to help the relationship. Heck, when they grow or improve, it's in spite of the relationship, like Miwa thinking it's her own fault that people are assholes because Saeko lashed out at her at the festival so she tries to get better at dealing with people.

There's a chance they'll overcome being fundamentally incompatible, but I think we're supposed to root for the breakup and their next relationships

I should get around to reading that some day.

What's the easiest way to get the First Night chapter? Do you have to subscribe, or can you do a one time donation?

I don't know which is more unsettling; whitewashing or exaggerating the fact that youkai eat humans?

Whitewashing??

I think they mean ignoring canon since there isn't much in the way of replacing other cultures or peoples with white people in this story.

Btw, does anyone know how the manga is doing?? This is starting to turn into the Berserk of yuri for me >_<

The oldest Comic Rakuen I have is issue 25, and Collector's isn't in it. My guess is that it ends with the chapters listed in the current volume, but I can't totally confirm that

Trust me instead, it's great and absolutely worth the read with a satisfying ending. A story about music, love, and figuring out what to do with your life

Pretty sure the title needs to be With She Who Likes My Sister to be grammatically correct.

Current title is the official English title, not one that was translated.

Which doesn't actually have anything to do with whether it's correct or not.

The title is grammatically correct, even if it sounds like hell. Which it does.

[I'm] With Her Who Likes My Sister

"Her" is the object in the title, there is no subject. The title we want would be something like Living with a Girl Who's into My Sister

I've come to the conclusion that I just don't get light novels.

That's completely valid. Light novels are bonkers and are a massive trip to read. They seem to run on this weird kind of anime/TV logic and are supposed to be very quick and easy to digest. This one in particular is an entirely self-published web novel, so the whole thing is going to feel even more amateurish than normal. But like, that being said, I loved the damn thing and latched onto it in a deeply emotional way, lack of talent or craft be damned. As I think a lot of readers did. I mean, pacing is terrible, plots are kind of absurd, descriptions of any kind are almost non-existent, but the stakes are always high and the yuri is off the charts!

cadets would arrive already fully indoctrinated in the whole love-of-country-is-love-of-Emperor ideology, and any lingering shreds of individual personal motivation would be (literally) hammered out of them double-quick.

This series pairs (horrifically) well with Dan Carlin's Supernova in the East. "The Japanese of this time are like anyone else, but more so."

WWI was basically sunshine and rainbows for Japan, right? I mean, compared to any other country in the war. And they managed not to commit any inhuman, skin-crawling atrocities in this one.

I mean, Disney's big ol' burlap sacks with dollar signs on them disagree with everyone here

I guess the moral is that what's good is entirely subjective and not a metric worth a damn in the end. I feel like a manga just taught me that recently...

Being real, After Hours is amazing and a delight the whole way through. Worth a read or two. More than anything, it's fun. The whole thing is about having fun and coming to grips with what that means as you get older and have to balance that with reality. It comes together so well with good pacing to boot.
