I don't care about nothing else in this predictable manga and yes I made an account to comment after lurking here for YEARS but why is there HOT LEMONADE?! Has that always been a thing? I can't focus on anything else. Was that really in the original translation? Does hot lemonade even taste good? So many questions...

Yes, hot lemonade (and hot bottled drinks in general) are a thing in Japan. Vending machines typically sell both hot (あったかい) and cold (つめたい) drinks, marked with red and blue respectively. Some convenience stores (not consistent across chains) will also have a hot beverage case alongside the normal beverage coolers as well.

Ahhhh, I’m so excited for this one! I’ve always wanted to read a yuri manga that has theatre in its plot,

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_unique_day

This is one of my favorites. (only one chapter though)

We will talk about it with the members in our team. Apparently we don't have to continue working on chapter 30 now since is uploaded here. We will reconsider if we ever share anything else on dynasty, including citrus. Not such a big deal anyway since everyone around here likes to talk shit about it anyway. Now I have a live stream Babymetal concert to attend to lol
We will inform the citrus fandom about dynasty releases as soon as we talk about it

I'm going to tell you straight up what other people aren't — you are being a big baby about this. Scanlation isn't some noble world where everyone follows a set of clearly defined rules. It's a wild west of semi-illegal sharing and reinterpretation of copyrighted works. Should the new group have contacted you? Maybe. Maybe they're not up on all the "unwritten rules", or maybe they're just big jackasses who want to stomp on all the hard work everyone's done by.......... freely releasing high quality translations? I'm sure an unknown element would do that just to antagonize you, makes perfect sense.
You're free to take your ball and go home by all means — no one's entitled to your translations. But don't act like you were owed this. None of what's done on this site is right, it's just wrong in an enjoyable way.

I can't get over how Katou and Kuroki switch places on the last page.

I can't believe the final chapter was finally released after all these years. Sad I didn't get to see a yuri end. :-(

The gate on image 9 reads "Chinatown". The image depicts the Yokohama Chinatown (Yokohama Chuukagai) gate specifically.

At the end of chapter 12, it should be "pedestrian crossing", not "pedestrian bridge".

Sequel to https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/snowflakes

I've always wanted a sequel for that one!

These girls better be careful. If they engage in so much platonic friendship, they might end up in a friendship triangle. Then the only solution would be to confess their friendship to each other.

That would eventually lead to them putting on friendship rings and friendship dresses and holding a friendship ceremony. After that they'd have a platonic sleepover at a vacation resort and friendship each other's brains out.

Then they'd go back home, move in together, adopt a child, and spend the rest of their lives with each other.

You know, as friends.

Live-in gal pals.

Are there raws for this? I can only find it behind a paywall on Japanese sites, and I don't have a Japanese bank account/phone number (haven't tried registering, just assume one of those is needed).

Nevermind, just got it on Pixiv no problem. I'm an idiot.

And something more, but from
http://somuyuri.blogspot.com/2015/10/somu-project-66-dare-ni-mo-ienai.html

This series is already being translated here,
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/a_secret_just_between_you_and_me

And Japanese raws are available on exhentai (search "COMIC EXE -language:translated" and check the index for the page number).

Ohhh she gave her one of those 740¥ anti-shock bracelets http://blog.zige.jp/sp/twinkle2/kiji/877663.html

You're getting fleeced at ¥740 (or, in fact, at any price).

The couple is Kasumi's mom and her friend!

Kyoto is mainland

Beat me to it. As an aside though, "mainland" doesn't mean "not on the coast", it just means "on the largest contiguous piece of land" which coastal cities can still be.

Edit: I just saw that there's a chapter 0, and thus my comment is wrong since the inn is actually off the mainland. Kyoto is still not on the coast, though, so my reasoning was at least kinda/sorta right.

lol @ "I'm gonna go wash my hands for a bit."

This is definitely a mistranslation of something akin to 「ちょっとお手洗いに」 which, while literally translatable as washing hands, actually means going to the bathroom.

I don't know what it is exactly, but I just can't love Mochi's art style. It kinda reminds me of "Daria".

It's always reminded me of Scott Pilgrim.
