Another fun chapter, though it'd be easier to list all the manga series that DON'T have a secretly-evil church at this point. Dolores is probably aware that everything's bugged and everyone's a spy, so she's lying her giant ass off about manipulating Maria (though I did feel like she got along with her way too well from the start, considering her hate-boner for all things undead, so maybe this is a more realistic approach). Chances are that we'll get an arc where Dolores learns that everything she believed was a lie, leading to Maria supporting her when she's got nothing left, because dogs are nice that way, and then they can share True Love's Trib.
On an unrelated note, Sharon with her hair slicked back is hotter than everyone else in this manga combined, and I hope she gets a girlfriend, polycule or a raise.

Arisa has won so hard at life that it's not even a competition at this point. She might be the happiest lady in the multiverse.

Legitimately great fight scene there. Author's got a knack for displaying impact and momentum whilst still establishing a clear sense of who's who. I was kinda cynical about this manga's ability to do action scenes that aren't just the protagonists steamrolling vampires whilst quipping, but there was a great sense of tension here. This might be one of those rare works where the action's just as good as the yuri (and the the yuri's very good indeed).

^ Nothing's confirmed, but apparently, she wants to write stuff that doesn't have Yuri as a primary focus (in that, it'll have lesbians and queer characters, but not as the main selling point or genre, but just as parts of the cast, like She-Ra). I think I read somewhere that she was planning to write a fantasy work, but I don't recall exactly where.

I'm looking for a new anime to watch; I'll watch the first anime anyone recommends.

^ The absurdist touch really makes AdaShima work, since it lends a genuine sense of wonder to what might otherwise be SOL. Reminds me of Tamako Market.

Nio's art perfectly straddles the line between useless lesbian and 2cool4school.

You think it's all cute and fine now, but wait until the girl's been conditioned to spontaneously orgasm at the mere sight of the History Channel.

Give a girl dinner, and you feed her for a day. Give the girl a cute historian gf who can cook, and you feed her for a small segment of her immortal life.

Sukuna's favorite romcom is probably AoT.

This is just Real Steel with extra steps (upon each other).

I'm genuinely curious about Nozomi would react to Shion getting a girlfriend. I could see Shion feeling guilty about her feelings for Nozomi and trying to date someone else because of it, though it probably wouldn't work because Shion would feel terrible about using someone else as a substitute (which, ironically enough, would parallel how Nozomi feels about her). It'd be odd to have an ending where Shion just sorta learns not to have the hots for her sister-in-law and settle for someone else, but I'm also not sure whether Kuzushiro could justify Shion X Nozomi (not to the shippers who've been clamouring for it from chapter one, but to the personal morality of the characters themselves). Suffice it to say that I have NO idea about where this series is gonna go or how long it'll continue (it took them this long to just barely get over the brother's death, and I'm not even willing to imagine the angst that would ensue when they confront their feelings for each other). But honestly, I'm incredibly invested and can't wait to see what happens next.

This series is just the little-known prequel to Uma Musume.

At this rate, Yatsude's eyes might start bleeding when she sees Yokoe in a wedding dress/suit.

Y'know, I get that a lot of yuri fans are kinda cynical about series making ships canon until they see super-explicit confirmation, but I never had that sense of anxiety with this manga? It was pretty clear from the start that Izumo's put a ton of effort and dedication into developing Shamiko and Momo's relationship, and I'm 100% confident that she'll give us a perfect conclusion. There's a legitimate plan at work here, a real sense of progress and growth, and Izumo has brilliantly captured how friendship turns into affection, and the road to establishing it as mutual. I once read a review of She-Ra where the reviewer said that that they knew right from Season One that the show's main ship would be canon, and I definitely get that exact same feeling here.

I dont get the anxiety, how often does Works in Dynasty dissapoint?

Depends on your definition of disappointment. Some people only feel satisfied if get a kiss and dating, others are just happy with a confession. Lots of yuri series, and particularly CGDCT series with yuri subtext go the 'we're gonna be BFFs' route instead of having explicit confirmation. It was even worse back when you had Class S works that straight-up had the girls end up with men post-graduation, completely invalidating all the prior drama. Things are better these days, but a lot of yuri series still get the axe, leading to rushed endings that either feel unsatisfying, or simply preserve the status quo till the end. Heck, one of the main reasons the 'shoujo ai' tag came up in the West despite being nonexistent in Japan was because of the massive amount of yuri-themed manga that never got serious and queerbaited audiences till the end. Of course, then you also have stuff like Futaribeya, which inspires massive debates because it doesn't really operate like a regular romance series with conventional 'progress', Yuru Yuri, which is very gay, but also divorced from the flow of time, and Nettaigyo, which seems explicitly designed to trigger endless wars upon the line between friendship and love. I'm just scratching the surface here- the history of Yuri fans being burned could fill a five-volume encyclopaedia.

Tsubaki to Yatsude:

When you were partying
I studied The Lesbians

When you were spanking random idiots
I mastered The Art of the Conversation

While you wasted your days at the club trying to see people's underwear,
I cultivated Yuri Goggles

And now that Yokoe is about to confess to Kei and Fuji is getting a girlfriend, you have the audacity to go 'Huh?'

Taiyaki needs help.

First comment that never gets old for this series lmao

Taiyaki is honestly impressive in terms of her dedication to her fetish. She probably might not be the first person to write about mothercon yuri, but she still managed to singlehandedly popularize (or at least, advertise) the genre. 1 1/2 looks at the whole thing from a fairly serious, relationship-oriented perspective, and Yuri Oyako is just maximum memeing. Taiyaki at this point is simultaneously the Nabokov and the Itou Hachi of mothercon. Not sure if there'll be people picking up on the trend after her, but she'll definitely have her crazy niche in the Yuri Hall of Infamy.

So wouldn't it be interesting if Leopold has been at this magical girl business longer than she lets on, perhaps even once as a good guy?

Hiiragi: W-Well, I have a hot gyaru gf.

Utsugi is not a gyaru. She's just loud and dumb.

Makes sense. Though it'd be in-character for Hiiragi to not know this and advertise her as one anyway.

Y'see, the big problem when you got an image batch with so many good ships is that you struggle to decide in which order you should put them when you go to see the images and their comments. Especially if you're a "save best for last" typea person, which only makes it harder to decide.

I always just go in the order that they're uploaded, and try not to peek at the thumbnails too much before I load the picture up.

The ships I like get so little fanart that I can instantly distinguish the character designs from amidst a sea of PNGs. Guess every cloud has a silver lining.

If Hiiragi ever learns what kind of ravenous beast her sister really is she'll burn down the house and skip country the same night, mark my words

Hiiragi: Suck it, sis, I made a friend.
Tsubaki: I have three.
Hiiragi: I managed to have a productive conversation this week.
Tsubaki: I'm going to the beach to look at cute girls in swimsuits.
Hiiragi: W-Well, I have a hot gyaru gf.
Tsubaki: Been there, done that, got my hand held.
Hiiragi: Argh! Die, bitch.
Tsubaki: At least I'll have people attending my funeral.
