^Thanks for the info, it's greatly appreciated! I've been having a hard time finding art of them on Twitter and Pixiv, there was some but not much that I could easily find.

Also adding to the conversation about the artist making cover art, they also do the art for a manga on this site. It hasn't been updated in awhile and I don't know what the status of it is, but it's interesting to see their art in a manga nonetheless.

Edit: Manga with Fly's Art

Abs are basically a gift from the gods, bless them.

^Wholesome lewd is one of the best combinations imo.

Also I'd like to imagine this is how Gudako recharges after her missions.

This is definitely one of my favorite I guess somewhat "newer" Arknights ships. I really hope the ship gets even more fanart.

Thanks for the info, that explains why I couldn't find info. I didn't even know Mangaplanet existed.

So I assume they're digital only? Which is unfortunate since I prefer to pay for print releases, and there's several titles there that I would love to own in print.

Yes, digital-only and (I think?) subscription only. So, Netflix but for Light Novels and Yuri. Quoting myself, "For anyone curious, they have quite a few relevant Yuri light novels. Their website and reader are very barebones, but usable enough if you have other options - like Baka Updates - for tag searches. The quality in translations and editing seems basically fun. Not stunning, but more than good enough for reading purposes."

$7 for a month, $18 for 3 months, $30 for 6 months. Seems like a good bargain, even if it's a one-off subscription you get a bit later on and just spend the whole month reading thru their collection.

Thanks a ton, that information is super helpful! I hope one day they'll do print but for now I don't mind doing a $30 for 6 months sub to support the official releases.

Published

You kidding right ? I post the thing the page before

Edit: Also no need to be rude with the "you kidding right?". I don't click random links as a policy, and the comment didn't have any context besides "published", as far I knew it could be a meme or something so I didn't register it as important. I only knew it was picked up because of Tsuki's "This has been just recently licensed!" comment, which was much clearer.

This has been just recently licensed!

Wait who picked it up? I tried checking different publishers and couldn't find it.

Whew, crisis averted with the crow.

Personally? I say we wait and see, and probably look out for sources that're more reliable than 4chan.

I hear you and I agree with your general point, but I think you're dismissing /u/ far too quickly/offhandedly, that board has been and continues to be collectively responsible for a lot of translations (look how many releases are under /u/ scanlations on this site alone), information, and creating awareness and "hype" for loads of yuri series, it's not somewhere like /v/ where it's just an endless stream of useless garbage, I've never seen much in the way of disinformation on /u/ and the board contributes a shit load to this fandom/hobby.

Yeah I think this is something people often forget, as much as I don't like 4chan, they're sometimes very reliable when it comes to information and translations. It's a weird balance on a mess of a site.

I'm noticing more Adult life and Office lady yuris, were our prayers answered? Like I don't mind the jk stuff but its so..... trope? Here's to a new era! Im down for a future where the OL Yuri will become the trope!

I mean that's kind of the nature of entertainment, I think the word you're looking for is more so "trend" instead of "trope", maybe anyhow. Trends change over time naturally, and OL Yuri is becoming more of the trend as the flow of times passes. We might see more of a shift back to middle/high school Yuri over time, and then a shift back to adult Yuri after that. Such is the flow of time. Personally I love JK and OL, as long as the relationships aren't unhealthy and abusive, I say bring on more Yuri in all forms, and for all ages.

I think the general forum audience of this site is 20s-40s, but I think people should remember that there's a younger audience out there as well, one that also wants to fit in and feel normal about their sexuality. There's plenty of teenagers that are looking for something to identify with as they grow up in a world that unfortunately still has trouble with accepting homosexuality.

Edit: I say this mainly because I think there's room for all kinds of Yuri. Stories that appeal to different audiences and the like. It's good that we're recently getting more adult Yuri to balance things out a bit, and I understand why people are excited. I just think it shouldn't be a matter of "one or the other", since there's all different kinds of people of different ages, ones with varying and different preferences, and reasons for reading.

Wait it's already cancelled? Well that's unfortunate news.

Hm...can't get super into the main character, but Chika is nice. But publishers really seem to hate yuri that is more than a oneshot.

Depends on the publisher, there's I think 20+ Yuri manga that are ongoing series? Some publishers are strict, and Yuri as others have said is a pretty niche market. From my understanding way more niche and harder to sell than Hetero and Yaoi.

Edit: I think there's also various ongoing Yuri series that haven't been translated yet. This community has great translators, but it is a smaller community and they can only cover so much. Which is completely understandable.

Master and Maid Yuri is definitely one of my favorites, this was super cute.

@Omega Deuse That as well yeah. I think she's hot visually, scars and all, and as you mentioned she's got charisma and a kickass personality that nobody dares mess with.

^As far as my memory serves that sounds about right. I think it's the idea of the skin being "permanently marked", that makes it supposedly tainted according to beauty standards in many countries. Though I'm not sure if missing limbs/eyes markets that well with a general audience either.

Also I mean when it comes to Scars, I'll always stand by that Balalaika in Black Lagoon is hot as hell.

I don't think it's "because Anime logic", it's more that no scars likely markets better with a wider general audience, and takes less work. Personally? I love scars and definitely want more.

@Avempestad2: I mean everything must come to an end, I think it's nice when ended series still get fanart. It reminds me of the good times I enjoyed, plus it keeps the series alive through the fans and it also introduces new people to the series.

Hmm
Question:
Will this be vore?

Cause I don't do vore

Maybe it'll just be eating out, in the traditional after midnight TV sense. Turns out the whole thing was a misunderstanding, entirely stemming from the mermaid being too embarrassed to say it.

Edit: I mean let's be honest here, isn't this a goose with a gold egg situation? If the mermaid kills her and completely devours her that's it, however if the mermaid keeps her alive there's numerous ways to "taste" her. It seems more practical to keep her alive for the long term.

Maybe I should drop this since there's cheating involve... And the mc doesnt look like she'll act better.

Well as the saying goes, "There is a point where we needed to stop, and we clearly passed it. But let's keep going and see what happens".

Okay, wait, are they seriously acting like her crippling character flaw here is how indecisive she's being, that she doesn't know whether she wants to choose her loving supportive girlfriend who she cheated on, or her long-reviled but sexy ex with whomst she cheated? Like, she's not being decisive enough, and that's why she's such a disappointment to everyone? Am I reading that right?

Yes, you are indeed reading that right. I even think we're supposed to be sympathetic to poor Liz because her romantic dilemma is interfering with her plan to save the world, or set the world free, or some such shit.

I don't think "readers hoping desperately for the (terminal) intervention of truck-kun" is exactly the level of "sympathy" they're aiming for here.

This whole thing is frustrating at best, and really feels like the author has no clue why Liz isn't sympathetic in the slightest.

I really hope this series has some twists and turns, with an ending that's not as straight forward as the starting presentation. At the moment having your series be, mermaid helps girl get over the trauma of her family's death, and then murders her afterwards, isn't exactly compelling for me at least. There's some interesting themes here, and nice art, so that's why I'm still reading and curious if the series will have some dramatic shifts.

Honestly reading this series feels like waking up in the middle of the night to pee, hurrying to the bathroom and ramming your toe into the corner of a table leg, only to stumble backwards and step on a bunch of legos, and at that point you just start peeing yourself. It just feels really bad.

This is a vivid and remarkably believable scenario...

I feel like Maki's just gonna show up later looking like a guy after her "Is it because I'm a 'girl', right?" line.

Haha, thanks.

Something that's also bugging me about this chapter, it sounds like SHE has to choose who to date/pursue. When at this point she'd be lucky if either women chose to be with her. I don't like the idea of, "oh whoops I cheated, let me just pick which person I want to be with". It feels like the world revolves around her in an unnatural and absurd way.

Man I really like Ataru, she's in love with Sakuma but doesn't want to ruin their friendship and start useless drama and likes seeing her being happy while she's with Wanko, and she isn't awkward or anything, she's still happy to be there and be their friend.

No I'm pretty sure she's kinda glum about the situation actually. But she's also enough of an adult to "grin and bear it" and try to put it aside.

She seems kind of "glum" in general, some people just come off as a bit glum without intending to.

Also as for the newest chapter, interesting to see the teacher rejection.
