What's that manga where a high school girl runs an electronics shop in Akibahara and her childhood friend finds her and becomes her maid (I guess it's like Kobayashi-san, just without the gay and the dragons and the fairly deep lore... I mean, the main female character even has a fairly unconventional occupation like Kobayashi)?

Damn, I have never had an author make it to the top of my favourites this fast. Mochi is just awesome. The simple-yet-cute art, all those super-cute facial expressions, the humour, the originality, the straightforwardness, characters communicating... Almost no drama, and even when there is some, it is fairly light. Which is rather unusual, since I am far more often into things that lean heavily on the drama and angst.

"Oh God, this is too much!"
Well said, Mochi, well said~

Gods, I laughed so hard at this. Awesome stuff, as always. So now we know. Mochi is a TV reporter.

It's been bothering me and I know this one was asked for a while ago, but does anyone know the name of a one shot where there MC who goes to bar, the bar owner is a "witch" and turns into a younger version of herself to woo the MC, but turns out it was the owner's daughter just pretending to be her mom?

:3 Rosehip best girl~~

I see. Not going to get into whatever politiks that is, but is there some other place I can view them? Don't want to miss out on stuff because the one site I trust doesn't have them...

And people saying that 10 year olds don't know what a pedophile is, makes me laugh.

I was using my own experiences. At age 10, we were not introduced with the word, or the concept. We were told never to go anywhere with strangers, and to avoid conversing with them if at all possible, but no one used the word 'paedophile'. And in my time internet was not a thing, so no chances of coming across it while cruising the social platforms. I guess today's kids have more exposure to all sorts of vocabulary.

And I still can not quite imagine parents or teachers saying "avoid strangers, some of them might be paedophiles".

Yey, inter-species romance! This was absolutely perfect! Those expressive, honest ears... the expressive, honest tail... the straightforwardness, it was awesome! Cuteness overload~

I mean, the new kid being all devious and plotting, using any angle she can see to dislodge Yuzumori in Mimika's eyes, is not what really sets her apart. Kids can be just as devious, jealous, cruel, or underhanded as any adult, even more so, I would argue, because many still do not have the right-or-wrong variables properly calibrated. I mean, when I look back, I was far more malevolent towards my peers in primary school than college. What could be interpreted as unsettling, is not the fact she uses the lolicon-angle, I honestly do not think she is interpreting it in a sexual way, it is the mere fact she knows the word. I mean, kids usually do not know the word 'paedophile', and even less what it actually means. As far as I know, the word 'lolicon' is used as a synonym in Japanese every-day language, I doubt people would throw the word, much less its meaning, around fourth graders. But since Yuzumori herself also knows the word, I actually do not think there is any deeper undertone to it, and is probably the result of the author writing a cute romance story with a comedic overtone. Not everything the authors put in their work is well-thought out, or multilayered. Though many people, myself included, sure as hell like to speculate. It is fun to over-analyse, but I agree with one of the above posters, at this point it is all basically guesswork on our part.

I personally think that one of the IRC users nailed it when we discussed this up there. Basically, the author made a cute romance story about a lolicon and a loli who is into said lolicon, and that simply does not sit well with some of the readers.
The first chapters where it was all still mostly inside Mimika's head were seen as much more comedic, but now when their feelings are out in the open, it started to raise all sorts of questions. I actually think people would have less problem with this if it was either a straight up loli porn, or a full-on comedy about the inner turmoils of a high school lolicon, as it was in earlier chapters. The fact that the lolicon herself shows awareness of what she is, in-universe, and clearly does not go all-out as if it is a completely normal thing to be attracted to a kid, takes away the ability to pretend this is some 'alternate universe' where lolicons are not something meant to be taken seriously, which just further feeds the underlying cause of all this recent discussion. Which is, in my opinion, precisely the combination of a lolicon/loli theme, and the manner in which it is presented, basically, as a cute romance story, and that has some people scrambling to interpret Yuzumori's feelings as anything but romantic.

As for the 'sexualised' models, I really do not see it. As people pointed out, those modelling careers, and the manner in which other kids make a fuss over it, are something completely normal, in real world, for both fashion magazines, and the way kids usually react when some of their peers are famous in some capacity. The new kid does have some uncanny character traits that could indeed be interpreted in more nefarious ways, but I personally think there is nothing sexual there. I do not think she invited Mimika to the party because "hehe she will get horny over all these cute kids", more like "she thinks kids are cute, this will take her eyes away from Yuzumori".

Heartfelt presentation. I like it.

No sadface! Hope you're well, your image requests set us back days ;)

:3 Quite well, thank you! Hope you are well yourself. And I make no apologies! Rosehip best girl, needs more love!

Lol, re-watched GuP in the last weeks, so a sort of frenzy gripped me. Still have a metric ton of the stuff bookmarked, but I figured the reviewing staff will have their hands full as it is ;)

They also seem to be inactive for years, if memory serves.

As best as I know, Casusby is the highest decision-maker, omnscient0 is tasked with running the technical aspects of the site, dpf uploads and occasionally regulates the Forum, Nez moderates the Forum, and the hosting space for the site is provided, for free, by GOD, as he goes by in IRC.

Et tu, Georgium?

Oh, right... sorry... khm, Pekoe also uploads.

:(

You are speaking nonsense, hinata0604, when have you ever seen people here give credits to the "scanlators and not to the author"? Usually we express our gratitude to the scanlation groups, but we also praise, and discuss, and offer criticism about the authors themselves, their approach to storytelling, and whatnot. And I have not seen anyone give credits to scanlators instead of the author, as you implied. That could only happen if the scanlators post the works as their own, which is something that does not happen on this site, you can always see the author's name or internet nickname up there, next to the chapter.

I agree that asking for a permission for these non-commercial works posted on Pixiv and the like, before you start scanlating, is a proper, polite way to go about it, but I also think you are blowing it out of proportions. Generally, I agree with what Alice said on the matter.

Wow, some of those spoilers sure... seem interesting... well, whatever, I am here for their personalities. Great bunch of characters. I still hope the bad-tempered onee-sama is rich as hell.

People on this site bitch about absolutely everything that's published, lmao. I'm doing it for the people who actually enjoy stuff. x)

It would not be a true Kouyuri release without these reactions, now would it.
Thank you for your work!

This was just the cutest little thing~

I feel like Mochi has improved a bit on the facial art in this one. Makes the already cute faces even better.

You should check out the last chapter of "Met My Sister", if you have not already. Facial expressions will make you squeal with delight~

I think the copy and pasted frames were actually well done to add to depressed feeling of the monologue. The depressing monologue was so spot on it was pretty scary. I think senpai is probably one of the most realistic characters Mochi has made so far.

Agreed, I also thought that the copy-paste frames during the monologue contributed to the scene. It visually went hand-in-hand with the depressing thoughts, you could easily picture the senpai standing like that at work every day, making herself as unnoticeable as possible, while everyone just walks past her.

^^The bigger one is high school age, so 16-ish. The 'shy one' (lol, not really) is hundreds of years old. Her body, on the other hand, 10.
So it is actually both a large age gap, and a huge age gap, depending on your view.

That daughter is a huge disappointment. You should date your mom first by Finding Her on a Dating Site. Does she have no manners?

Mochi, make it happen! Please...

Please tell me that "Chapter 1" part was just accidentally overlooked while translating the title...

Is your sister female? Females here are gay.

If your sister is male she might not be gay. Make sure to check.

But then, she might come there for the few yaoi books we have, so then his male sister might still be gay.

What if she comes for the few het works, though? We can only hope she is gay regardless.

More Mika, please~
I will take any pairings with her, she is awesome! If you want to win, you need a Finn~~

"Met My Bully On A Dating Site" could work as a sequel to this

Seconded!

Plot twist: the boss is her sister.
Also, more Mochi goodness, awsum.

With Mochi that's not really a twist at this point.

Plot twist: The boss is NOT her sister.

BWAHAHAHA.......... Good one!

Also the concept of "respecting scanlators" goes out the window, for me personally, when these people are "ironic" fascists but hey, radical concept I know.

At the end of the day, Casusby is the one who decides what can be hosted on this site, and what can not. Respecting the scanlators is not an absolute law, there were cases where scanlators' requests were denied, and in light of such previous instances, if the Administrator decided this is staying, then he obviously concluded this one sentence credit page is not a capital offence. If you have a problem with it, how about coming to IRC to protest, rather than cluttering this thread? Just be aware, this is not a democracy, Staff decisions are final and not open to interpretation. Also, lol at the whole "off topic" shrug from someone who only joined yesterday and his only posts are in an off-topic flame war.
