What an unexpected surprise! I'm so glad the author is doing better!

holy hell, this exceeds my expectations by miles. Not only does this have good art, it also has a consistent and easy to understand plot. I wish the series on bilibili comics were also like this.

Also, does anyone know if this is original or adapted from a novel?

Yo, if you're looking for good GL on bilibili I highly recommend Bai Lijin among Mortals, and Straight Girl Trap. Those are by far my two favorite series I:m keeping up with on bilibili right now. They aren't bait either, they're definitively gay.

Yaoyao kinda reminds me of Maomao from Apothacary Diaries, in a good way

Oh hell yes, baihe historical dramas give me life. I love the way this artist draws faces, it’s somehow cute, intimidating, and very expressive all at the same time

Oh how I wish I could be a big city OL who is 32 years old and has a vast wardrobe of well put together fashionable outfits while having a stay at home android wife

I wish I had a hot roommate who would act flirtatious with me when they discover I used them as a character reference for a gay story with me and them as the main characters

I wonder if she found this job with Eromanga in mind, or just any editor job of a manga magazine will do. But she really really loves her job.

In the first chapter she said that she wanted to become an editor because she loved manga, but she was originally not happy she was specifically an eromanga editor. She was unhappy because her critiques and enjoyment mostly came from the perspectives of character driven writing, while most of her colleagues and mangakas were more focused on just packaging the “utility” up in a nice looking manner. It wasn’t until she became the editor for Toda that she was able to get into the stuff like character motivations because Toda herself wanted to transcend just being porn for the sake of porn

I've been disappointed in the lack of new junko x ai content since season 2 came out, thank you for rectifying this

Damn. It. I thought they were going to smooch for educational purposes.

Maybe thatll be the next step they go to

Hell yeah, now thats a new years resolution.

Does anyone have the specific chapter(s) where Nanoha's little sister keys us in that she knows about Chidori?

What a dumb ass way to reveal that you knew her secret

You can really see how Mitsue got ground down over the decades in this chapter. Compare the outburst of anger and feelings of betrayal when she finds out about the marriage in this chapter to the barely whispered "do you remember our promise" from after the divorce and you can see just how much she's changed over the years.

And it looks like Kiyoko has been ground down over the years as well.

I think we can understand why Kiyoko still means so much to Mitsue even after all these decades, their time together in high school completely changed Mitsue’s life, and even after all the decades she still had the same love for Kiyoko as before.

Thanks for the depression as always

Do people really separate to pay for things like this? Usually if I’m with a friend and they go to buy something I’ll stand with them to chat, even if I’m not buying anything. If it was a family member maybe but not a friend

~messy high school queer emotions~

The manager gag in chapter 84 feels oddly forced. Her (basically impossibly) showing up on the balcony with a direct address is a 4th wall break gag that I don't think has ever happened in the story before.

It also doesn't do any favors to gumi-san, who is looking less like the super competent character with a weird quirk and more like comedy relief

The manager character always felt really out of place in this story to me. I could understand if she showed up in a less grounded series like sasameki koto, but in this series she feels sorely out of place for being a walking bag of tropes that just kinda serves as a hamfisted plot device 80% of the time

A day where we get an unexpected sakura trick sequel doujin is a good day indeed

Creepy straight dudes once again ruining things for the rest of the world. I forsee this becoming a major issue in the future, hiding who you are never feels good.

kuukaa is the best love live superstar ship

But it’s two girls—how is that even possible?

Fukami already knows, but she doesn’t quite know she knows.

I'm thinking she might try to tail Kase to Yamada's university and see them kissing or something

Think Fukami, why would you listen to some secondhand gossip when the woman in question is so overly doting on her “friend”. Believe what you see, not what you hear

God it’s such a crime that the manga ended when there’s so much more gay goodness to be had

Anybody know what the Chinese text on page 11 says? Also, I assume this means Yokoe is half Chinese half Japanese?

敂汬䌠獡整汬Ⅱ䤠氠癯❥浥‡敂汬䌠獡整汬繡
It's not Chinese, so no, it doesn't mean that. I imagine Japanese readers who went through the trouble of deciphering this had as much fun as I did.

I put that in a machine translator and the “english” that popped out was just different kanji I’m so confused right now

Oh my god Yokoe hold it together, stay strong!!!!!

While I think we can all agree that all the gals in bakarina get pretty routinely sidelined I think Mary might have it the worst.

Maria is the clear front runner and, while I felt like Sophia's depiction in the manga/second season of the anime was pretty lackluster, she at least had a really strong presence in season 1 as her own character separate from Nicole. Mary just hasn't had a chance to shine in the story and it's such a shame. She's literally gotten no focus since they became teenagers and her personality is usually boiled down to "I fight with the boys to keep them away from Katarina".

It just feels wrong that she doesn't try to confess, and seems content to play damage control rather than be proactive about wooing Katarina.

I don't think I could do what Tanaka did there. Jeez I kinda hate it but wow the manga is really doing a good job showing us indirectly what kind of messed up stuff Toda is creating
