Amazing! Thank you thank you! I don't actually know anything about Gundam. Not that shocked that MadoHomo is #1. I always say it's a cousin to the really great Qualia the Purple,.Also Love Live! is two main couples, the RinPana side couple and a bunch of pairings that don;t make the cut (though Umi Eli has some mileage).

This started when I compared pairings I was interested in: NicoMaki was 10 pages of images, NozoEri was 9, MariAli was 6 and BuCap was only a single page.

I checked some popular anime and didn't find anything with even MariAli's 6 pages of images, and I was also curious about the most doujin.

Is there a way to tell such statistics?

Any guesses?

She is a demi-goddess. And her mom runs her own universe.

None of these poor girls are into yuri! It turns out the evil Dynasty Reader business empire has a potions division!

Is this the first time they've depicted actual drawing in a manhua/manwha/manga? Also, the original of m/m/m was the Chinese manhua which used to just mean drawings done on-the-fly. What caught my eye was that they literally just depicted an actual sketchbook with actual sketches. No exaggeration either way.

It's probably deliberate but the MC is already perfectly cute. I haven't seen a genuinely not-pretty girl since Tomoko Kuroki (and even she achieved that partly through the eye-bags her family has, which hasn't hampered her brother from attracting girls, but which she accentuated by never exercising eating right or getting even half as much sleep as she needs). This girl STARTS as cute as alternate-world Tomoko is in that one special.

The good news is people who complained about all the other couples in A Kiss and a White Lily for My Dearest Girl will leave off this one pretty quickly. Pretty gutsy move including identical triplets, too. I loved the relationship chart! Best one I've ever seen from several angles. My favourite so far is Lifted-Up Girl.

In case anyone missed it, the charts get updated in several chapters.

They made a very well-designed chart even better. They shuffle a character or two over next to where the other figures in the chapter are.

Getting bored with the main couple already. I think this could benefit by adding a couple of characters and maybe a side couple?

Why are people saying Ayano and Miyoshi kissed? Do they mean the hug in the Mini-chapter?

I think this is in the new Yuri Scumbag MC genre. If we had a Tag for that, what would it be?A Scummy Gap Student With a Hard Life Calls Upon a Lady of the Night, My Younger Senpai, I vaguely recall a couple of others ...

It's official, Kase-san is just an idiot. Which is good news, we can all like her more.

I fear that "We've never fought" line is straight-up foreshadowing.

It's worse than that, at least as translated: "Like we'd ever fight!" is the jinx to end all jinxes. If this were an anime, there'd be a cut-away to Yamada looking furious and throwing dishwares at the wall and ranting "KASE-SAN!!!"

Someone needs to show this manga to Kusanagi-sensei.

What would have sped this up a lot: if she'd remembered that she cursed the child of the girl that left her for a boy, in the womb, to fall in love with her. It's a tried-and-true method that has never failed.

I can't resist this couple for some reason.

“Where are my snacks?”

It's just there for the snacks, not the ewwww humaniality!

Here it is after real QC. I didn't expect for the former april fools version to be as polarizing as it was despite it being a simple shitpost that didn't even obscure much from a completely legit (though not QCed) translation.

If you are curious about the translation process and found the previous work amusing, I'm sorry to say that QC is pretty professional and not very interesting beyond learning as no shitposts are found there.

You'll always get mixed reactions to those things. I have translated a lot of manga for my own use so I love them as a change of pace.

Haru is what you get when you call up the actors' guild and have them send you a Manic Pixie Dream Girl™ Yuri Edition®

Is cute little deuterago-chan actualy a Kuzu joshi ?

"I get to see you in a Yukata! My crops are watered!"

Well, that's one way to phrase it I suppose

That's what Sumi-Sumi from Sakura Trick will say when she finally gets a date. Which may take a while, as the only girl left is Kotone's little sister Shinobu.

Sumi-sumi, let's date!

"My crops are watered, indeed!"

Whenever I get too tired of all the angsty manga nowadays, I know I can turn to the author of Renai Manga for some fluffy, uncomplicated l......

Midori Aiba and Mayu Hibiki, what is their 'ship name? Note that they always go by Mayu's family name and Midori's personal name. My guess is it's partly due to Hibiki's family name meaning Echo and thus it sounds perfectly okay as a girl's name. And partly due to Midori's childlike nature. She may be in the same year as Mayu, but they clearly have a kouhai/sempai relationship. It's my favourite couple in the series, FWIW. Just a little above Ayano/Miyoshi. Is it MidoMayu? Midobiki? Hibiba? Mayiba? EkōRyū ? Ekō for Hibiki and Kyōryū (dinosaur) for Midori Aiba, the little dinosaur.

She can repay her debt to her sister by coming out first. Unless that actually would put more pressure, depends on the parents. Anyone notice that, in a way, the parents found the best male match possible? Puts up with her being a lesbian, scummy, materialistic, a user, etc. because she makes him laugh. Makes me wonder how well the parents really know Makino. Actually, if they're aware of how lesbian she is, that's rather depressing.

Also, after reading this and "My Younger Sempai" I can definitely say I love scummy girl redemption plots!

gotta love it when the solution to everyone's problems is just: "be gay"

Why is the mangaka not telling people where this uni is, where all the girls are gay and students specialise in one of the five senses? It would be wildly popular!

Jumping in again to say I read all the pairings speciasl, finally, and the sacchi and kibako stuff is really genius. It's art.

Also, as much as I love Tomoko, she's way eviler than Kibako. She's almost in Sacchi territory. Though no one is as evil as Sacchi.

My list of scumbags:

1. Sacchi - Really cruel, and super good at it.
2. Komi-something - even disses her only friends to a degree Tomoko, Koharu, or Yuri wouldn't do.
3. Tomoko - The whole series is her being an apparently cute and helpless girl who's secretly totally scummy.
4. Koharu - Even scummier than Tomoko, but so bad at it that she comes off funny vs. really landing her punches.

I don't think anyone else fits, though Ucchi, and to a degree Yuri, can be bad with their mental and emotional issues

Scummy-like behaviour:

1. Ucchi - loses control super easily.
2. Yuri - Blunt to the point of madness.

To explain why the MC reminds me of Tomoko Kuroki:

This is her reflex response to Nemo being nice to her.

BTW going back over their interactions, Kuro is a TOTAL scumbag to Nemo. Seeing it one piece at a time, I didn't get the big picture.

If you made Megumi Imae a depressed call-girl, you'd basically have this series.
