Thanks for the trivia tidbits, onyxpanda!

"filthy brown howls"

I see you, Sailor Avalon

Wait, what? ?_?

Is this the last one?

It's the last "Love & Piece," but these characters appear again in the volume 3 extras.

MAL says it is ongoing series. Seems like Lililicious dropped it or at least don't have people to work on it. I'm trying to find any info on their site.

It ended years ago in Japan, so I'm not sure why it would be listed as ongoing.

Our editor for the project has been too busy to work on it, but HotCakes has offered to help us finish it if necessary, so, one way or another, we'll have more chapters out at some point.

Chatting at the Amber Colored Teahouse has appeared in the current issue of Yuri Hime as a series, and I'm almost positive that it's new material. I'm suggesting this one to any scanlation group that has room to add another series. Does anyone know if anyone is going to do it? Lililicious maybe?

From Fujieda's blog, it looks like it is new material. It has a similar name to the Lilyca installments, but doesn't appear to be a reprint of those.

It would be great to work on Amber Teahouse again, but I don't know if we have an editor that can take on a new ongoing project. Getting scans could also be an obstacle, since my copies of Yuri Hime don't usually arrive until a month or two after they're published.

Also late, but if the series' mentioned in the original post don't interest you, I'd recommend applying for one of the other actively recruiting groups. Kawaii and Binbou and Yuri Project are always recruiting. Though in the case of the latter, it's less a matter of applying and more a matter of just getting to work.

Lililicious can always use more experienced editors too!

Was it "I Don't Know if This is Love" by Rokuroichi (from "Kuchibiru ni Suketa Orange" and "Yuri Hime Wildrose 5")?

Also, does anyone know how far into volume 2 Collectors is? And... how is it doing? I'd love to > own a physical copy one day.

Volume 16 of Rakuen had chapter 21 of Collectors in it. The magazine comes out three times a year, with the next issue due out later this month, and usually has 1-2 chapters of Collectors in it (it's been a while since an issue had 2, though).
Collectors volume 1 had chapters 1-12 plus extras, so if volume 2 is going to have chapters 13-25 or so, it might be a while before it's announced. Rakuen lists upcoming tankoubon on their site, which was linked above, so you could keep an eye out for it there.

You can always find a current listing of Collectors chapters on Lililicious's Rakuen project page, if you scroll down.

Aww, thank you!

How much would I love to see the stuff on this sidebar, though? http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/happy_picture_diary_ch03#9

I have good news for you, then! I have one of those books ("Love Revolution!" volume 1), and Lililicious is planning to scanlate it. (It's listed under "Other doujinshi" on our planned projects list because Morishima published it as a doujinshi.)

There seems to be a side-story around:

Suwako-san to Date (スワコさんとデート) - bonus

Thanks for pointing that out! We'll pick it up.

I really like this, is this part of a series or is it just a one-shot?

As far as I know, it's just a one-shot with no continuations.

I agree with that but it doesn't seem like there are many interested translators in the YH works and scans have been spotty for several years now. I would love to see RockIT Girl get released and I would scan it if I had an interested TL.

We are still working on Rock it Girl. Chapter 4 should be out fairly soon. I'm sorry for the wait!

So out of curiosity, are the "Honey & Mustard" stories from this volume different from the follow-up stories with them getting together later on? Because those didn't really have much about their original relationship, which seems to be the theme here.

Yes, the "Honey & Mustard" stories in this volume include flashbacks to their previous relationship.

in this case what you have is an allegedly very attractive young woman in an environment where she is forced to be dependent on others with no technical or self-protective skills to speak of.

Yes, this is exactly it. Rio gets hit on by older guys (men who are old enough to have their own place to live) who she can see are only interested in her body and youth, and she uses some of them to try to get herself out of an abusive situation with her family (and, in the case of the marriage to Akihiko, possibly to use him as protection from other men). She takes what freedom she can in a situation that offers her little, even when it means using and/or hurting other people.
I think the rant Rio goes on is the author showing us some of the pain and anger this girl has at the years of sexism she's endured. It's not meant to be polished or fair, or to express the complexity of her conflicted feelings about men. It's Rio pointing out how messed-up and untrue some of the stuff she's had to deal with is (like being told that women are less smart/rational or that it's her fault grown men hit on her because she "makes" them want her by being pretty) and how awful it is to feel powerless in her situation/society.

LOL, I am lesbian, but I like yaoi too. :D :D And Utena is the best. :)

Most of the yaoi fans I've known have been lesbians. Including yaoi writers.

Interesting. I'm a straight dude who enjoys both yuri and yaoi. I'm curious about the nomenclature for gay fiction in Japan. What makes something "BL" as opposed to "yaoi"? Are there different connotations to the terms? Or are they just the same thing? If not, what would something like, say, Gengorah Tagame's manga be categorized as?

Tagame's manga would be gay (gei) manga. You can read more about that in the "language" tag of the "gaymanga" tumblr (not remotely safe for work) if you're interested.
As for BL vs. yaoi, one distinction I've seen is that BL is more for anime/manga and yaoi is more for doujinshi.

I'm a little surprised that Lililicious uses the term yaoi instead of BL.

We usually don't, but it's the term Morishima used there. It could be that it was the more popular term back when this was written, or maybe she is referring to shipping and creating/consuming fanworks moreso than consuming commercial BL.

A question: Do you know if there are any other works by Sakaki Nagaco? The author of this one-shot http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/that_sensation

Yes, Sakaki did 3 chapters of another story for Comic Lily and has done several one-shots for Yuri Koi (in volumes 3-5). Baka-Updates Manga lists a couple of the artist's other (non-yuri?) works, too. There's a more complete list on the artist's own site at ng-co dot main dot jp but nothing else in particular jumped out at me.

Interesting, are there any plans on translating those? Or are they not that interesting? Although I wouldn't mind if they're not that interesting, the art is enough for me.

Lililicious has no plans to do them, but perhaps someone else does? I know AudioErotica was interested in doing some things from Comic Lily.

"Love Preparation," the other story mentioned in the afterword, takes place at the same school as "Love Aroma" but is about a different couple.

Are you going to translate that too? Eventually I mean. It would be nice to have the full collection.

I haven't seen mention of anyone else picking it up yet, so I'll see if any of our editors is interested in doing it. If so, we'll formally pick it up.

this happened to her in 2009 right? I wonder how she is right now.

Her next autobiographical work after "Honey & Honey" was about her and Kai, but I don't remember if they broke up as well. She's still drawing manga on topics like sexuality, being a fujoshi, and her friends, but I haven't read them yet.

Nice, read.
Sup with all the extra pages? It seemed like it was the story continuing.

The release contains both "Love Aroma" and "Love Aroma 2" (the extra included in the "Perfume of Love" collection).

Yeah, it looked like the extras were actually the other chapter. But according to the end notes, there should be another chapter in between these two so I'm just confused.

"Love Preparation," the other story mentioned in the afterword, takes place at the same school as "Love Aroma" but is about a different couple.

Haha, that was sweet. Wish there was more though. Nishi Uko's art is nice.

There's a sequel in issue 9, so that's something to look forward to. (And as others have pointed out, .925 might be in the same series too.)

Okay, I'm kinda confused about this release.... Is this a NEW book or is this just another part of Conditions for Paradise? It seems to be listed as part of it and also a part of Our FIrst TIme. Is Our FIrst Time a book also?

"Our First Time" is a new collection, but it is about characters from Morishima's previous works. The first story is about the characters from the "Conditions For Paradise" series. It includes the covers and table of contents for the "Our First Time" collection.
