ya know, I have been reading a lot of protests against toys and I have to ask, how many of these "nos" are from our male posters?

Shlong master race here, I have nothing against toys. How else se would I cum buckets masturbating while stimulating my prostate?
And yes, I know that by posting this I have forever tainted the purity of this board, but I'm not one to withhold critical information.

Ah it's Tima! Precure doujins, that lovely Psycho Pass one shot and last but not least... that completely wacky Daughter and mother oneshot. I like this artist a lot.

But I have to agree with you Nez on

The way the faces are drawn, shaped like a vertical wedge, is a bit disturbing. But the kissing is fantastic and totally makes up for it.

and

Well, the art in general is kinda bony

These two factors kind of make me feel like I'm reading Yaoi, also sometimes the hands are a bit too long. But it depends on the oneshot.

Then again, the very cute blushes and the beautiful eyes easily make up for the "cons".
There's also minimal unnecessary talk during the dirty, and no "B-But it's dirty!" which is great.

And so, blonde had done terrible things for the sake of love, similar to Lelouch from the Code Geass trilogy. However, Lelouch differs in that he did what he did for the HAPPINESS of someone he loved. The blonde girl did some pretty awfull things for HER OWN HAPPINESS. Had she really loved Emi, she would have properly confessed instead of conjuring up a sheet storm.

Lelouch didn't just do it for his sister, he wanted to shape the world for the better. He did commit terrible crimes that if you know his character and morals, could not forgive himself. In the end it was with these thoughts that he opt to pay the ultimate sacrifice for his sins ( inb4 B-But Lelouch is Alive, muh code and secret cart! ).

I like how people is just slut shaming the pregnant one because she "slept around" to get attention. While she did make a choice to do these things I think Emi is just as bad for not doing anything about the other person's feelings. But of course, just because we have mutual feelings doesn't mean we have to make something out of it. I think Emi is just as much at fault for letting the other person acted the way she did.

Just like Yurifan I would disagree, that blondy did what she did on her own the MC isn't to be blamed equally. The MC doesn't have to actively return her feeling at all. This is the same line of reasoning a rapist would say to his victim "I did it because you lead me on or something, totally legit and normal train of thought!"

On the other hand, the MC probably knew all of this and yet did nothing to stop the blondy for self-destructing. Now I know she doesn't have to, because they're just colleagues.
But I'm a bit jaded of this whole "me" and hedonism. She doesn't have to but it would of been morally superior to get her to stop because not only is she hurting herself but she could make things difficult for her other co-workers and that boss and his family etc.

Still, it's not required that she tries because pretty much a lot of people would just say "not muh business".

When all is said and done, I sort of have an inkling that the MC did this to destroy relationships. Sakata, the unnamed married man and his family, blondy getting shafted. I might be imagining this, but I could see it being this way.

A lot of hate for phallic objects in here. I would not like to have you folks near my person with a pair of scissors or something, I'd be very afraid to lose something precious.

You're probably safe. It's not like any of us want to take it home with us or anything.

Well that's the thing, I would be able to recover it and ask a friendly doctor to re-attach it to the best of his abilities. But if you don't, y'all might get together around a fire and celebrate.

This is rare, a yuri work where the token male guy comes off as nicer than his female counterparts.

As for the story itself... Well, they played the "love game" and they ended up both losing. With Sakata(sp?) being a side casualty.

A lot of hate for phallic objects in here. I would not like to have you folks near my person with a pair of scissors or something, I'd be very afraid to lose something precious.

Teacher X Male Tsundere is the best.

I don't blame him much, it's just we could of done without the outburst and elbow, then again if you're being disappointed over and over a bit of frustration sets in. Maybe the author thought she deserved a good one on the face? To be honest if she were my friend I'd probably have a few strong words for her.

I don't think the author thought she deserved it, nor did I see it as a set-up that the guy was abusive since it was clearly an accident. But the bruise from it was necessary as an obvious mark that her family would see, leading to the conversation with her new sister and underlining the earlier comments about her having given up.

That makes sense, she doesn't value herself enough. I can't say I'm surprised, as the eldest with no other family in sight she does have big responsibilities to bring in the dough.

I am being serious really. I don't know of any other communities with a focus on yuri

While reading the title and OP's post I don't see anything that says it has to be Yuri communities that you list. I think OP just wants to see what forum/board/(insert any type of "community") people frequent.

OH MY FUCK! ARE THERE LITERALLY NO DECENT GUYS IN THIS SERIES AT ALL!? LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE THAT'S EVEN REMOTELY DECENT IS THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE A GIRL! I JUST CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THIS SERIES ANYMORE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS AUTHOR!? GOD DAMN IT.
And WTF is wrong with the sister? I barely blame the guy for what happened. Don't get me wrong he's still a despicable human being and an overall huge scumbag for doing...well everything he's done so far...BUT SERIOUSLY BOTAN!? In what universe does it make sense to sleep with a guy to get him to leave you alone? That just doesn't make sense.
My overall judgement of this series that just gets stronger and stronger every chapter, is that this series is incredibly stupid. I don't know what this author was thinking with anything he's done here.

She isn't sleeping with him to dodge the fact she doesn't want to be his girlfriend. She's sleeping with him because she wants to, but is refusing to have a long term relationship because she's the bread winner of the family.

She probably believes that it's going to be useless in the end because no young dude looking to get a wife is going to want to live with 3 other people in their newlywed household. In that respect, she probably could exclude a lot of guys, so she isn't totally wrong in believing so.

But the proper thing here would not to pursue sexual relationships with a guy that actively is telling you he wants more than to be sex friend because that's a tad cruel, although partially the fault lies with the guy by being a bit a fool. Still, I don't think it's okay to use a person feelings like that. We see he has a habit of making her cum multiple times before he does, so I guess the reason why she kept at him was because he's good in bed. He's really good dildo to her.

I don't blame him much, it's just we could of done without the outburst and elbow, then again if you're being disappointed over and over a bit of frustration sets in. Maybe the author thought she deserved a good one on the face? To be honest if she were my friend I'd probably have a few strong words for her.

All in all, these people are there flaws is reminiscing of one of this duo's previous work.
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=42557

See these tags? Love polgyon thats fueled by not really the most moral individual and women who can't resist forceful men and can't seem to make up their mind. If I don't see an improvement here, I'll drop it like the work I linked. I see enough "okay" individuals that lead such a shitty personal life for some reason, I don't think I need more of these self-destructing people in my fiction.

You're pretty much right. Contrary to the idealized Japan envisioned by Japanophiles, real Japan is very traditionalist and collectivist, making them very conformist in turn.

I agree with your posts, but another thing you forgot to mention is change isn't just slow because perception takes a while to shift on issues, but because of their atrocious and unwieldy bureaucracy. Now, this isn't unique to Japan at all, most government are actually really bad at paper pushing an acceptable rate but Japan just takes on to another level. It happened several times in which the public opinion was in favour or heavily in favour of something but the change took years to materialize itself because the bill took years to go through proper channels.

So a lot of things we take for granted that we are protected against or for is not properly implemented into law as of yet. Heck, Japan doesn't have any laws regulating surrogacy... For a country with a huge problem with births, you'd think they would approve of anything that makes people have babies in any way shape or form.

http://www.sensiblesurrogacy.com/2014/06/japan-considers-conflicting-surrogacy-laws/

I know that the guy is a big piece of shit but why are some many people bothered by him. Again I'm not defending the guy or anything he is a asshole no doubt about it but I think people are taking it a little to far.

Nah he's really bad, the author clearly made this guy unlikeable.
Funnily enough, the second guy to be featured in this manga also elbows his... sex-colleague? I mean he's not that much of an asshole because pretty much everyone that wants to be left alone and sort of angry and is grabbed from behind does that elbow toss, still ouch.

I almost feel like tumblr's war on men has followed me into this work.

I'll continue on for a little while but like many others I don't really understand where the author is going with this, it doesn't flow well and isn't that interesting.
There's other manga that deal with trans better in more details, and as a SoL this is pretty angsty and not really my cup of tea.

well, look at the bright side, they live next to...each other? ;-;
Me no like the ending!! but sigh, i still liked it tho. xD
Can you Imagine all the planning they had to do just to be close to each other again eve if they're both married to a man they don't even love?

It could be they just stumbled upon each other and developed a relationship between each other while their husband might be working somewhere else or just working too many hours.

Also, it's not really specified if they don't love their husbands. Now before someone grabs me by the throat, please understand that you can love a person without being lovers. I mean... I love my mother, my sister and a few close friends and would put my life on the line for them, but that doesn't mean I want to hit the sack with them.

Still... this situation is... less than optimal to say the least.

can we pay attention to the most important thing in this entire dj?
morinaga went to see rebellion for the first time with hakamada mera. that's really gay and i think that's the most important thing we got out of this dj here

Two friends going out to see a movie isn't gay at all.

the pressure on people to conform is enormous, so do you really think that the women in this manga had a choice? no. but amano wrote this to draw your attention to that social pressure, and I love her all the more for taking on the hardball issues. keep them coming ^_^

You always have a choice, simply most individuals are not strong willed and this is why the culture of shame and the requirement to conform by society "works" incredibly well.

Who wants to read 100% realistic stories? Go grab a history book or biography or something for that.

Realistic characters and stories can be found in work of fiction. As far as I know, I won't find a realistic portrayal of zombie survival in history, probably because this never happened.

As a lesbian myself...I find this quite disturbing...cause I have trouble understanding..why would they do this to themselves. Why be married and have sex for the sake of it...like really. I'm in shock. Maybe I dislike men so frikin much...that I sunk myself in my sweet happy ending of a manga. But seeing men most don't give a flying fuck wether their wife's kiss a girl. As long as their part of it...well guess this made up for it...I'm sorry I'm confused...and I'm really gay. Walks away.

It's pretty much the same reasons everywhere.
- Job security
- Money
- Child custody
- Don't want to cause family trouble ( this an extra one )

Another thing is that in a lot of cases the grandparents might live in the same household as the parents and their children. This is pretty common in Japan, so there's more than just your children and your spouse which will be affected by a divorce.

Also while divorce is on the rise in Japan ( because women are gaining points in being able to live for themselves ) it's still viewed as a personal failure to divorce. It's basically showing that you lack character, you're a flawed individual ( aren't we all =P ).

This is why you have a lot of "sexless" marriages in Japan, even after the death of their romantic relationship they'll still stay together, because in Japan romance is viewed as secondary. A proper stable family unit is more important, and your role as mother and father is also more important. Your work too ( for men usually ). It's okay if you work 6 days a week 12 hours a day for 40 years never having family vacations, you're our good corporate slave. It's fine if your wife doesn't love you or your children don't see you often, you're doing your civic duties as a good citizen of this fine nation!

And then Japan ask themselves why their births and marriage are at an all time low, lmao!

Finally, it's okay if you despise me, if it makes you feel better.

She says that at first, but then thinks it was 'acquired' somehow instead. That's what I'm referring to. She tells the maid "...but, from what you just said, I'd say rather than congenitial, it's acquired, right?", after the maid said "This body is perfect for the job.", like she had an alteration, or maybe got it from somewhere else.

Well, realistically what she's talking about is impossible. But then again in the first arc we had an absurd case of roid rage. Saying that her body is perfect does not confirm or deny that it's something she acquired later in life at all.

I guess we'll have to wait until we get more background on her youth? Since she's still alive, it's possible we'll get to know more about her in their next encounter.

You know, there's some yuri tension and all, and I've found a way not to be disappointed. Stretch usually gets uploaded to Batoto faster than Dynasty Scans, so I read it there.

Since I read it there I don't feel the need for my stuff to be Yuri related. So I kind of trick myself into not getting into the mood so to speak.

I was feeling kind of bad for that maid. I'm glad Miyuki intervened or else Kuroko probably would've tortured the maid and used that dildo she had...PHEW.

Yeah, I felt bad for her too :( Obviously she was trying to kill them, but maybe what's she gone through in the past has just made her snap (if the story about her friend dying is legit, anyway). Also curious as to how she stopped feeling pain.

Well... the manga mentions it quite clearly what her condition is.
Congenital diseases are from birth...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain_with_anhidrosis

A person with CIPA cannot feel pain or differentiate even extreme temperatures. "Anhidrosis" means the body does not sweat, and "congenital" means that the condition is present from birth.
Overheating kills more than half of all children with CIPA before age 3.

Obviously overheating because they cannot sweat, and babies are quite delicate when it comes to temperatures.

Still laughed a bit out of disbelief when she counter attacked against the Iron Chicken while she can't feel pain, that strike surely did severed damage which would of rendered her unable to strike like she did. Obviously I let it go a little because this is some manga with crazy inhuman fighters... Still, until her, it was logical in how it worked, but not this time.

Does anyone know how old the short girl actually is or why she's part of that outfit?

She shoplifted once. Death penalty.

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/murcielago_ch05#4

I feel a bit sad that the Iron Chicken guy ( yeah that's my nickname for him ) died, he was cool.

Also to person I'm quoting... Let me tell you, she didn't just shop lift like she said she did.

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/murcielago_ch02#14
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/murcielago_ch02#15

You see those cryptic words and that sick as fuck smile? That shit is FINAL BOSS status right there.

One thing I like about this series, is that just about every female is safe from death lol. All guys can go burn though....

Actually if the opponent of our MC not a pretty girl than I would assume she'd have no qualms killing her. She only goes for the lookers.

I assume the one recurring male character ( that detective w/e in the police force ) is not going to die. Because you can't just have bad guys/girls right?

Sorry but im seriously about to drop, its like the author caught on that people got yuri vibes from this and is now teasing it without giving, and i haaate when mangas do that

Haha, that page 1 was 10/10 tier bait.

im not baiting, i am about to drop :/

I never said you were, on the other hand it's clear that the author is baiting hard.

the more i read the more i think they're newlywed or sumting :D

You have a weird vision of newlywed, they look like an old couple. No newlywed would ever say that their partner is fat, I mean that's one way of making sure that there's no sex for X period of time. At least that's what would happen if I were to mention this to my girlfriend. I might even have to sleep on the couch or something.

Why is everybody pissed off over Citrus chap 11?
To me, the story is taking a hell of a plot twist from the original i-love-you-but-i-cant-love-you kind of thing.
Mei better do the smart thing and not go.
I’m terrified for her.

This plot twist is unoriginal though. Anyone who reads seinen/h-manga has seen this blackmail scenario a gazillion time.

I just hate how passive Mei is in the most ridiculus scenarios. It is so easy to win this for her, yet she does nothing. She could beat up Matsuri, take the phone and go to Yuzu with it to tell her that Matsuri tricked her into kissing her.

She could do this and it would not fix the non-reputation issue.

She could still save this by going to the date with Yuzu as a backup. I mean, ANY sensible human being would outraged at Matsuri for blackmailing Mei and more so for sending her on a forced date with some male/female creep. Even someone as retarded as Yuzu should be able to see that Matsuri is evil then.

This still doesn't save the reputation.

She can only win this, but I'm afraid Mei has fallen victim to the Reputation-Syndrom, where an author tries to justify the sudden retardation of a smart character by acting as if wanting to safe your Reputation would suddenly make your brain incapable of coming up with a smart escape from the situation. OMG my reputation is at risk, obviously there is no other way to escape this situation than to do exactly what the blackmailer wants me to do!!

True that getting in a bad situation where the potential to be rape/sexually/non-sexually assault is pretty bad. I give you that one.

I just noticed how often this is used even in Western TV when I saw crime show today where one of the main characters pointed out how ridiculus those persons where being, as if the show was written by two authors and the second one made fun of the first one for using that stupid trope.

Granted it's a trope you have to understand what's at stake here.

This is not simply about Mei's student council spot and her current reputation. This also hurts Gramps... Yeah I know he's a majorly inflexible old Japanese man that we all hate because "muh western values and FREEDOM" but Mei is loyal to him.
Now why is this important?

Let us remember what position he wants her to be in... In a few years after Uni. He wants her to start teaching and eventually be his successor does he not? Now let's say the photos are released, and even worse, she goes out saying she raped her. There is no need for a trial here, just the mere possibility that it's true is enough for people.

What does this mean concretely? Well I can totally tell you what it means. We're in Japan, ever heard how strong Parents association are? It only takes 1 single parent that says he or she is "concerned" about their "precious little daughter" security whilst in this school managed by this violent rapist lesbian director for everything to go kaboom. The pitchfork are coming and there's nothing anyone she can do to stop it. It's resigning time lady, also you better bow a gazillion time even if it's not your fault, welcome to Japan.

Truthfully if I was her, I'd do it, finally free of the obligation she has vis-avis her grandparent. But I don't think she'd see it this way.
