Maybe not escalate this further, everyone?

That would be lovely.

I think this whole "what is the morality of cheating" is going around in circles by this point, so I'm closing down that particular ride. If you want to talk about cheating, leave it to her personal reasons (which at this point are pretty much entirely speculation) and the narrative reasons for it. Leave the overarching morality discussion for some other venue.

I'm not hosting anything, the only thing I do is moderate the forums. Do you host anything, Vankomycin?

The platelets are even worse, given they're cast in the show (and most fanart I've seen) as primary schoolers.

When two of those are “we need to fuck children”, then it’s time to get off this train.v

54 years of uninterrupted romantic happiness, and people are sad because she didn’t get more?

Dang, y’all are greedy.

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking that.

"You were uncomfortable looking at this? But there's so much worse over there!" is about the weirdest response I can think of to having problems with a story. So what if there's worse? That doesn't mean this one is suddenly better as a result.

I feel like this cancer discussion has gotten not only way out of hand and personal, but quite a distance from anything portrayed in the manga itself.

If the participants could take it off-forum, maybe to the Discord or IRC, that would be appreciated.

Nice to see Randou's stuff again. Love how soft their stuff is.

For anyone out of the loop about the seed counting. It's a very very old tale that vampires would count seeds if they stumbled upon them, for instance the Chinese jiangshi would count rice so leaving a sack of rice would give you time to get away.

It basically fell out of common knowledge when the modern vampire lore was being made up.

Just like the Count in Sesame Street. ;)

1,231 is an awful lot of maniacal laughter and lightning.

The man is dedicated to his art.

Gotta say, those are the least threatening monsters I've seen in manga in a long time.

Not fast moving, vulnerable to physical attack, their only real defense is that they produce a creepy sound. So someone standing back with a sniper rifle could take them out no problem, or even regular troops with noise-cancelling headphones. It's honestly a surprise they haven't all been wiped out already.

Sorry, I thought there were more than 20 chapters. But yes, it was Kimi Koi Limit. Thank you both.

Actually there is another manga I can‘t find anymore. It‘s about a superficial girl who wants to become an idol or compete in a beauty pageant or win some kind of popularity contest or something like that (can‘t remember). She gets saved from a pervert by some delinquent chick on a train and at the end they become a couple and the superficial girl stops giving a shit about beauty pageants etc. I remember the delinquent girl wearing a face mask most of the time.

It‘s a vague description, but does somebody know it?

Also check out its sequel.

I agree. myy, it's time to tone it down.

Looking for one where a girl has feelings for her friend who she presumes is straight, they basically end up having casual sex and afterwords, the sentiment isn't really that the girl loves her back, but something along the lines of her never considering the option before but was considering it now.
Not sure about this, but the friend may have either been seeing someone else very casually at the same time or was just someone who slept around a bit.

Well, here's my guess.

Though I write a lot myself, I unfortunately don't have the commitment or energy to finish a lot of the stories I get ideas for.

One idea I've been toying with for many years, but never actually put to paper, is a light fantasy story of a young woman being shipwrecked somewhere on a southern continent, where she is found by the young head priestess of a nearby village. The story would focus on their feelings for each other deepening as they slowly learn to communicate with each other. (Idea originally inspired by Nation - Terry Pratchett)

"HItomi and Hana...at Akihabara!"

But what about the Demon Share 'Em option?

I'd honestly be happy if the whole one-word character description thing died off anyway, given how much it encourages stereotyping characters and not looking deeper into them. Even just expanding it to "shy and defensive" helps a little, because then you're not just going "okay, I know what a tsundere is" and looking a bit more into why they're so shy and what they're defensive about.

But alas, that ain't ever gonna happen.

She's a classic tsundere, no hitting, no abusing at all

How is that a classic tsundere?

The idea is actually not that bad, it could have potential.

Well, the classic before they make the "hitting and abusing" tsundere classic. Gosh I miss them

xP

Joking aside, I understand what you mean completely. Tsundere originally was supposed to be hostile towards mc and only after warming up to them and falling for them, they would show them their genuine loving side. It of course still could happen rarely and take a lot effort and embarrassment from tsundere, but at this point she would visibly become nicer to mc. Sadly somewhere along the line the version where she constantly flips between loving and hating become popular and we are stuck with it as default.

I always assumed that one of the classic tsundere models was the female lead from Love Hina, and oh BOY was she all about the hitting and abusing. Was there a classic model prior to that?

Not that I'm a big fan of the abusive tsundere model or anything, and it sucks that a generation of lazy writers have used tsundere as an entire character description rather than a trait. But still, I think at least slapstick violence has been pretty common in the idea all along.

Looking for one where a girl finds her classmate out in the rain lying on the ground but the classmate says she's part rain woman or something. The classmate is in love with a teacher if i remember right

Here https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/god_and_the_rainbringer

Close but not the one im looking for. In the one im looking for a girl finds her classmate lying on the ground during a downpour, classmate is wearing a track suit iirc

This is probably it.

Okay that's pressuring (not what I intended) but it's not that fucking rude, stop being a prude ass. It's reasonable for reader to wonder what happen with translation especially series this good and the raw is gotten so far. Again I am not trying to get disrespectful to the translator. I'm just casual reader wondering what happens with translation.

And that's fucking rude enough to earn you a temp ban. Keep it up when you come back and I'll make it permanent for you.

Badgering scanlators for the next release is NOT welcome here, and neither is acting like an asshole to other members.

If you wanna pressure scanlators, you can do it elsewhere. That kind of behaviour isn't welcome here.

I'd love to see an anthology series animating Morishima's work, like Conditions For Paradise or A Lapis Lazuli Blue Dream.

Can you imagine an OVA of Nostalgia? That'd be really sweet.

For all the beauty in this pic, it's the look of absolute adoration on Nozomi's face and Eli's easy trust and surrendering herself into her lover's hands that really make this shine.

Fight on, brave warrior!

And get rid of that "box cover" image. That stuff's for amateurs.
