yuri? I'm reading this purely for the recipes.

given the premise, we're probably only gonna get 8 chapters, so it's very unlikely to be cancelled.

if it turns out very popular, it might be renewed for another season

I don't remember the early chapters that well, but this felt like a really explicit showing of Yoshiko's romantic interest in Hanayo. I thought it might have been more ambiguous before, but maybe I don't remember it that well.

Yoshiko takes Hanayo on a date ( https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch03#22 ) to make her a perfume, and then to dinner. The perfume making place (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch04#21 ) and the restaurant (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#8 ) are both run by two women that Yoshiko knows. Hanayo finally asks, and the lady at the restaurant confirms that she and the perfume lady are a lesbian couple. And that they have been for 30 years (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#23 ) .
Hanayo cries in the restaurant bathroom upon the realisation that there are other paths she could've followed in life, and that there are people her age who have braved those paths (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#26 ) . (reminder that Hayano has always had lesBIan leanings https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch02#1 )
In the taxi home, Yoshiko barely restrains herself to hold Hayano's hand. ( https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#30 )

And that's all Volume 1. So, i it's always been very strongly hinted at. So much so, that i think this deserves a Romance tag.

Anyway, rereading this, I relearned that Keito, Hayano's son, was always been a butt https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch01#28 . I'm glad Hayano has such a good daughter in law and granddaughter to make up for it.

Scienceyscans picked ituup and it's uploading to MD

i am so hype for all the interpretations that people have put forward here about this story… or, poem, rather, as the author calls it

thank you, it was a pleasure to read them all.
the manga was fun to read, it's going to be even more fun to reread after soaking up all your ideas

Also, We all know that when Tong Tong put the choker on Xiao-Lu's neck, it had a double meaning in Xiao-Lu's mind. ;)

Abso-fucking-lutely. Tong Tong is once again being absolutely clueless while hitting a million-to-one jackpot on accident.

even if she's stumbling into this, i think she's got incredibly good intuition. Moreover, she is also actively reflective of what she's doing and what's happening. she's going to study up

I'm at volume six, Chapter 27, and I just wanted to say: There are some Insane amounts of hand-holding happening here. Absolutely shocking, like.

A bit sad this poll doesn't take gender/sexuality demographic into account. That could be more interesting data...

the last (Dynasty) gender/sexuality demographic poll sure has been a while.

okay, so… does Ema's husband radiate ace vibes?
or is he similar simply convinced that his wife is ace?

using my list here as reference for what to put here https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/21878-yuri-works-general-election

Partial color Yuri is definitely a trend i can get behind.

…tho i might prefer Partial colour.

they're both so stupid ♥

I added Idiot couple to suggested tags

It's kind of interesting that Makita got told she doesn't have sex appeal even though the oneshot depicts that she absolutely does. Perhaps she was always uncomfortable with taking on the "submissive" role that women are expected to embody in traditional heterosexual relationships, and that caused her to be nervous/hesitant when it came to sexual matters until now?

This story is told with Satomi's voice, as seen from Satomi's eyes. What she sees in Makita is what we get to see of her. It's not necessarily the same that her ex-boyfriends saw.
whether that was because they were men, or because they didn't love or desire her the same way as Satomi is anyone's guess.

i can't wait for the two to get together and talk in person person again!

It’s so unfortunate this has been dropped :(
The manga already came to an end, a very wholesome one. I hope a translator picks it up someday.

Where did you get to read the rest? Do u have a link to the raws?

time to learn more languages!

i love how when they start making a connection, their colours start to swirl.

and, yes, I'm referencing LIVE's The Beauty of Gray, for all the people… over… a certain age.

Haha, what happened to us?? :')

in my case: my daughter learned to walk and speak, then we had Covid lock downs, despite being very careful i managed to get Covid, then we moved to the countryside of a new (for me) Country, and then i turned forty.

despite that, I managed to do at least one fun thing this year: girls dance night out! after which I taxied five drunk (straight) women in my tiny car. hope i can repeat that before the end of the year!

#parenting

I immediately sent that panel to my partner, cuz that line felt like something our six year old daughter would say.

Given that this is autobiographical, we know from interviews that the author goes by she, and that she makes it long enough to reflect on her experience in manga form

reading this burn out spiral was oddly soothing for my burnt out brain…

So yeahhh. I became a boring old woman

(i stripped the emoji from the original posts)

whelp. this made me cry first thing in the morning. dunno why i thought it's a good idea to start my day reading a manga tagged Suicide, but here we are.
Either way, the reason why I cried, was that I felt it actually handled the subject rather well.

i mean, the chapter is called Hijacker.

not sure what reminded me of Prunus Girl today, but I was browsing the comments, and saw this one from @Nezchan from 11 years ago:

This manga changed how I cook eggs.

and thought, ah, that's where I got that.
