I keep think mei is a robot
How can this girl be so emotionless????

How is Mei emotionless?????

Yuzu checking out that butt. good for her

^No, they're one person

Boy, Im not really a fan of Novels but with this slow pace and all those suspicious spoilers tags and all the comments, it's makin me so itchy to just buy the trilogy novels from SevenSeas... Im so excited to know...

You can also read the web novel for free. Would save you money and you can just drop it if it's not for you and it would give you a better product /hj

Cant say Im not tempted but I wanna support the creators coz this is a great story. Hmm, guess I'll just buy the physical copy of the manga :)

Personally I bought the Japanese novel. It helps her more directly. You can also support her pixiv fanbox (and even get access to an extra chapter ;) with that)

Left is the fan translation (which I understand is more accurate) and right is the SevenSeas version. There's probably more changes besides this. Can't say I'm a fan, considering the entire point of the original line was lost on both accounts (Rod's implying Rei's a noble and her father was the reason she's at school, both of which are completely wrong). Also it's making Rod seem like even more of an arrogant fuckboy than he originally was lol

The left is saying that Rei's a commoner and that she's very different from Noble girls. And she got into the school thanks to the King's new scholarship policy:
"[The people's discontent at the government] concerned the king, who began to promote a meritocratic policy [...] the scholarship system at the Royal Academy was part of this policy’s implementation" (from the LN)

So the fan translation is correct

The fact that there's already more of these than SpeSuzu on here is both funny and a bit sad to me

^It's weird, I used to think so too, but after reading the novel and looking at the illustrations in it I can no longer see almost any resemblance between the two.

Always happy to see more Ryumako

Yeee! I needed more of them!

I used to find futanari really off-putting, but vanilla stuff like this really gave me an appreciation for it. I think the most succinct way to put it is "yuri, but one of the girls just happens to have a dick."

It’s like fantasy trans lesbians but not really... well this story is actually pretty much 1:1 with regular trans lesbians.

Yep yep. All of Kougi's "futa" stuff is basically just trans with a different name. Which tends to make it very cute like here

wait... this isn't the only Futa that Kougi wrote?

If you have pixiv you can check out this, it's mostly Riko x futa/trans Chika (with a couple solo and a couple YouMari and YohaMaru pics). It's all about as cute as this doujin

Oh my gods this is such a mood.

bit in poor taste to put this here right after V8 ended don't you think? /j

the « top-bottom » trope

It's not a trope, it's just how some people work. Based on my own experience, it's how a lot of people work

What is this "cultural phenomenon" you speak of? Thats sounds really interesting, could you give me some information on it? If its offensive that's fine, different culturals have elements that can seem offensive or strange to our culture, but I would still like to learn about them.

It's not all that different. The basic idea, which might not even happen in the manga, is that Rei has intentionally adopted a caricature of being gay that mimics entertainers on TV. The gay person that is the butt of every joke due to their goofy and eccentric personality might be a bit more familiar. Apparently there is a specific archetype this passage refers to that western readers wouldn't recognize. Hence it getting cut. Loosely, Rei wants to be able to get closer to women she's interested in, but when they find out she is a lesbian, they distance themselves entirely. So she adopts the caricature that so many people have been complaining about in this thread, which she openly admits reproduces homophobia, because there's not really anything else she can do but laugh at herself and her situation and try not to be alienated from those she loves.

It really does suck that it was cut since Rei never goes back and struggles with, revisits, or overcomes this aspect of herself. Here are the exact text changes:

So it's just SSE being shit like usual. This is why I just bought the Japanese novel instead of the English one (even though I can't read Japanese).

oh boy the manga is doing justice to the novel
i literally learned how to speak english reading this novel lol
I saw that someone doubted whether to read the second season or not, I left it in the middle because I did not have time but in fact it is quite good and has many romantic moments, the second season involves some issues about politics that are quite interesting without forgetting about all the fantasy and magic.
And claire and rei adopt two daughters and it's literally the cutest thing
PD:The author is really sweet she doesn't mind about people reading her work in illegal sites but i read somewhere that she was having some economic problems so if you can support her please do it :)

use == around the spoilered area to black it out

My god, all these princes are the worst and makes me eye roll with the utmost disgust every time one pops out of nowhere, it's so off-putting it almost make me wanna drop this, seriously ...

they all get better... although they also all become just minor background characters. Yuu is my fave because he's the only one that actually has a storyline later on. The other two just have some small things to show what happened.

major spoiler
Writing that "he" hurt me. We stan a trans princess

Personally I hate all the localizations in the SSE translation. Rei is the worst (seriously what were they smoking when they did that) but all the others are also better in the web novel, even if they're not as bad as Rei.

Either way it doesn't really bother me since it's just side characters

Those two had an advent calendar, but not a Pandoro or Panettone. They lost a big chance, such a sad Christmas

hear hear
