In Girlfriends

Just drop this series, it clearly isn't for you.

I feel like i should know who those other two girls are... but i don't.

Then you haven't read Honey & Mustard (the first part that is)

I think it just meant that her mother was not ethnic Japanese. Or maybe there is some ambiguity in the translation or something. I would bet on the former, though.

The translation is correct. He either had not characterized her mother further at that point in the series or it's because as Caucasian she would be seen as a foreigner by most Japanese, regardless of where she was born.

Morishima truly is the greatest of the great. For me, she is unarguably the #1 yuri artist of them all.

This. She is pretty much the only mangaka without a single miss in my book.

No, it was in a different book.

First the Wildrose revival, now a new chapter for this great book after nearly two years. This day has been full of squees for me. Thanks!

Yes. If you look on that same page, you'll see the both of them participating in the school's sports festival.

I always said Citrus is an idiot magnet. You'd think it would be obvious that getting something a week earlier isn't really worth demotivating the people you get your free entertainment from in the first place. At least I'm not very motivated to put down money next month for the tankoubon after that stunt.

Not just me right? Reading this once is not enough to comprehend what's going on. ;___; I don't even know who's who.

No. I'm not the biggest fan of Amano to begin with and somehow this still manages to disappoint me. It's a confusing, disjointed mess with a cast too big for its own good and that's not being helped by sameface artwork. And so far the plot is insipid. Amano can do better than this and it's just the beginning so I'll give it a chance but this might turn out to be the first series in a while I'll drop.

The next unreleased chapter is a prequel, the chapter after that continues the story after chapter 5.

I think the message at the end is basically "who cares." Because it really doesn't matter. It is interesting though that in every discussion about this oneshot I've read, it's always her fidelity called into question based on something she may have done 7 years ago as a teenager. So what if she cheated on her back then, that doesn't say anything about her as a person now.

Asami on the other hand concocts this elaborate revenge scheme about dating someone she despises, giving up her job, moving away - all just to get some comeuppance for being dumped in high school? That's insane. That Chiharu sticks around after learning that speaks for itself.

On the translator credits page, does anyone know what manga the image used is from?

We worked off magazine scans, not volume scans for this series. Volume 1 ended with chapter 3. Volume 2 will only collect was has been released already and the yet untranslated last chapter, possibly add some special and afterword, but that's it. The series is over.

some hints of episode-crossing character development

It definitely has more of that than a lot of other slice of life stories, don't worry. But it's still early, this is a long series and we are still in the setup.

No. This isn't Lord of the Flies or otherwise a commentary on human nature. It had the chance to go that way and blew it, multiple times. It's vile and irredeemable garbage.

Well, yeah. It's Amanaga, his stuff is usually just generic porn setups with an occasional yuri angle and decent art. If you look for a touching romance you are in the wrong place, because that would require a story. It doesn't merit deeper analysis about the motives of the protagonists.

To me there was nothing supernatural about the ending. Some families do move from place to place frequently, and children of families like that are often introverted, seeing no use in forming attachments, just like Yoshizaki in the story.

I tend to agree that the mermaid thing is mostly symbolism but there is quite a lot of that going on. This subtle bit here for example: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/there_are_no_mermaids_in_this_town#11 (the book is about Denmark, Hans Christian Andersen, the author of the Little Mermaid, was danish).

But damned if I know why she disappeared without saying a word..

What esn said. Also because most mangaka confuse "cool" with "emotionally retarded" or "sociopath" when it comes to males in a romantic context. I like equality in a relationship, something yuri usually provides compared to most of het or yaoi.

What manga is on the cover of Yuri Hime volumes 28-33?

They are for the most part just cover illustrations by Namori but the characters eventually got a oneshot in YH 33 called Truth.
