The scenes in the panels are the same in the original Japanese version, the English version and the Spanish version.
Serina's line carries the same meaning in Japanese, English and Spanish (assuming it was correctly translated—which it was).
Since it's like this, any reader should be able to pick up on the funny side of that particular situation, whatever language they're reading it in.

Nene, in her comment, simply manifested her surprise at the fact that nobody in this forum seemed to have noticed the irony of that moment—or, if they noticed, to think it was worth mentioning.

Yeah, this is boring. Nothing to do with the manga, drives conversations into stupid territory. I don't really care that someone chose to post in Spanish, but for you to dance around their meaning here and drag out this irrelevant, boring conversation, is tiresome. You're clearly having some fun, but it's boring for everyone outside your clique. Don't do it again. Thanks, take care.

Edit: I've been told my tone was very poor. In hindsight, this is certainly true. The gist of my message stands, but I apologise for being untoward. That was completely unnecessary on my part.

Eh, if that's really your takeaway then my apologies, wasn't intended as such.

Edit: Though maybe this just demonstrates me being totally out of touch, as I'm slightly disturbed that a woman's personal presentation preferences would be construed as political in 2021.

in a shocking unforeseen twist, yuri manga readers are stricken with confusion by the idea of a woman with really short hair

As opposed to labeling someone as a woman when the only identifying trait being presented is the wearing of a skirt? Nice try there.

Eh, she's drawn inconsistently, but you can clearly the see bump of her form on page 1, the skirt on page 3, a stereotypically "cute" blushing panel on page 3, her heels on page 8 along with the next line...Anyone reaching the end of this story convinced she's not a woman wasn't paying very careful attention.

Also, it's kind of boring when almost every comment is "Omg she really is a woman!" Like yeah, some people are naturally androgynous or adopt that look for their own reasons. Depending on region and generation, it's not remotely unusual to encounter them in your everyday life. In yuri of all places, I'd think we'd have been through enough "tomboy who isn't comfortable looking femme" storylines to not jump to conclusions that readily contradict available evidence. No wonder some younger women with those preferences feel so self-conscious, my goodness.

I really want to read more yuri manga with girls with wavy hair, like Kawaruokoto, Mizuno & Chayama, or Witch Meets Knight. Thanks!

I’ve missed earth girls omggg!! (Also idk how to change my user so this is highly embarrassing to post >_<)

lol if you just let me know what you want it changed to, I can take care of that for you!

edit: I (...don't...) recommend looking up a manga named Cocoon. It's a historically informed story about a class of schoolgirls during the Battle of Okinawa IIRC, slightly yuri and really fucking depressing.

Please can you tell me where to read it or buy it? I couldn't find it :(

For some reason it doesn't show up in default search, but you may find it here on MangaDex. It's very dark and gruesome, though. Have fun.

Gonna end this here because "this is just a yuri manga" but are you fucking stupid, lmao?

If you won't read what people type for you, don't answer at all you ignorant f. You made a fool out of yourself.

If you can't engage in the future without doing this, then don't engage at all. This is a silly Ecchi manga, it's not remotely worth attacking other people over. Thanks, take care.

Why does age suddenly matter when it's Yuri, but if it was a guy no one say shit and call it a masterpiece. by the way age of consent is just an excuse to fuck children, as there're no real reason for it to exist. ( For those who say " But what about muh age of consent? " ) You're a child until you're 18.

I have no idea where this is coming from, but chill out. I don't even know what you're trying to say, but if I did, we still wouldn't be having this conversation.

Hopefully this isn't already buried somewhere else in the mass of Mezashi releases on the site

Well the upload is a teensy bit late I'd say. The doujin, though, cute as heck!

Text on the last page is something like "i meant to draw more pages but didnt lol"

This was so cute! Where's the ending!

This is super pretty, really atmospheric read.

Edit: Holy heck I just realised who the original idiot was. Gayest story in the history of the universe.

Nightmare_DL, if you want to post again you're welcome to. The weirdo combative comments aren't okay, and this isn't an appropriate place to solicit translations for other series. Thanks.

Well I tried to emphasize it was my opinion that I personally think people caring about fictional anime and manga ages is pointless. People can do whatever they want and I'm not telling anyone to think a certain way. I'm simply stating my opinion on something I see people stress over nearly day in anime and manga communities for years, and I think there are far better things to worry about in the world. If people want to spend their time and emotional effort being concerned over the ages of stylized drawings then they can go for it, it simply doesn't make sense to me.

Also yes it's loosely BASED on the "social framework of our modern world" but it's also entirely a fictional stylized manga, where the author can make their own reality and changes to everything and anything within their fictional world.

Okay so we have a slight misunderstanding on what we are talking about here. I was talking about fiction in general when I said "stories within the social framework of our modern world", not this work in particular. I myself think this manga is just a silly gag based story, and said as much. Also I don't think people necessarily stress over it, sometimes a character's supposed age just takes them out of something to not keep reading. No need to be so condescending about it.

And with that said, let's drop the weird conversation. I haven't seen anyone in this thread terribly hung up on ages or getting fired up or anything, so...no need to talk about someone who isn't even here, for a manga that isn't this one. Can take that to the Cafe if either of you would like to continue, thank you.

Wonderful credits page, that was a really fast turnaround. Thanks everyone!

I just read this for the first time and it was fun while it lasted... but rather than being mad at the ending I'm mostly confused... why did they move, actually? I was half expecting that Keiko reconciled with her ex-boyfriend or whatever, that would actually make some sense even if people wouldn't like it... but the author took time to explicitly show that this wasn't the case, so I'm absolutely clueless why would they both move if they both said they wish they stayed together longer.

Did I miss something at the end, am I just stupid?

Nope, you didn't miss anything. The ending just sorta happens. It's never explained, and none of the major plot points (that I can recall) weave into the ending or even get much resolution on their own. At the time, response was significantly negative, due to how it has this feeling of, "Well, I guess it's over??"

Serialization of this series just dropped!

Serialization of Big Girl and Small Girl.

This is just an excuse for the author having an elbow glove fetish.

Long black hair + black gloves is great. Kudos to the artist for bringing their preferences to life!

mycro posted:

Some series start as guest chapters. Stardust Telepath started with 2 guest chapters, too, and serialization was already confirmed when the 2nd came out. If it's popular and the artist wants it, it could become a series. He or she seems to be in the LN illustration business so far.

Prayer circle.

Devastatingly short.

Had a little problems with uploading chapters 7 and 8, sorry about that. Everything should be good now.

I think any story with either the Sequel or the Prequel tags should have some kind of link to the related story.

Oops, I always mean to post the prequel here and then it slips my mind...there's not an easy way of doing what you want technically, but I share your desire for a system like that.

Were the last 5 chapters actually uploaded on Jul 8, 2021? because I only just got a notification yesterday

They were not, they were just uploaded recently. The chapters were scanlated a while back though (and uploaded on Mangadex), which is what the date reflects. (I think, citation needed)

That's correct. For reasons unknown, Doki uploaded them directly to MangaDex rather than updating their blog, so...I totally missed them till it was pointed out to me. We've only got a few chapters to go, it looks like!
