While I see value in the idea, I believe it's been established since the redesign of the site that character tags won't (or perhaps, can't) be supported.

The kouhai would make a cute couple as well.

It is included in the series tank, but as the 12th chapter.

Wait... Does this mean it's finished now? Since MAL lists the series as having 12 chapters.

Still 2 more chapters to go!

Would anyone be able to tell me what is the 'chapter 10' that is up on MangaDex (which is not the same as the one here)? Thank you.

Looks like a bit of a mislabeling. It's a oneshot hosted here too that has some of the same characters as this series.

Yes, that appears to have been an ad-riddled mirror or something. You can find the real MangaDex website here, at https://mangadex.org/

They also just started allowing uploads today it seems, so you've got some good timing!

In my exp, the people who relate to Catra are disasters who consciously make bad decisions, a character type that is pretty underrepresented on TV. We stan Catra, our queen. But I do hope the plot continues to carry the show for you! It's definitely worth watching even if you're not into Catradora, some parts are just excellently done.

Moderator Note

From here on, comments with little relevance to the manga posted thus far may be removed indiscriminately.

As an aside, regardless of one's views, it'd be best to not take this manga or other comments here too personally. Everyone here is here to have a good time. Thank you.

Bumping this. References to LN events that have not happened yet are also of "little relevance to the manga posted thus far." Thanks.

Guys, this thread is getting really, really weird. It would be good if it were less weird, thanks.

Can I translate your HairDye into my language and upload it on another website?

Oops. The answer is yes btw, hopefully you went ahead with it.

What's up with the description? Their pixiv has barely any NSFW posts and I don't see any het at all.

Most likely those posts were removed, I don't really know more than that, but I've changed the description anyway!

Thanks for the reports! We're aware that all tag related functions, including search and tag suggestions, are currently unavailable. They should be back soon.

The translator of Binbou has said all he wishes to say on this topic publicly, so whatever reasons - or lack thereof - given are as good as it gets. You're all welcome to have your own views of our policies, I will always encourage criticism. However, keep in mind that this site runs nearly drama-free, with little of interest besides the content we provide. Irrespective of what may be considered ethical or proper, respecting scanlators and appreciating them for what they do has brought us - and many of those groups - a very significant amount of benefit.

With that out of the way, let's drop this topic, which is of little relevance to the content in this series. Further discussion can be redirected to the Help thread, or the Cafe. Thank you.

drpepperfan worked on the Fuzoroi no Renri scanlation with Binbou, didn't they? I specifically remember checking the credits page of Binbou's Fuzoroi chapters after that thread because I was worried that it would get taken down, and I could have sworn I saw drpepperfan's name there and feeling relieved that it probably wouldn't be. I hope my memory isn't that atrocious.

While you're correct, drpepperfan's role in Binbou was as a QC, which is relatively minor. When I said "collaborations," I specifically meant (as did drpepperfan) works which their two individual groups collaborated on. The translator was the leader of Binbou and drpepperfan was aware of that when he opted to participate as a member of Binbou (as he was for Fuzoroi no Renri and many others). The person behind RayDistance (the other group that made early releases for this series possible) has given their consent for the removal of their work with Binbou. Other cross-group collaborations have been left on the site and will continue to be, unless we are given affirmative consent from those collaborators.

Additionally drpepperfan was fully involved in all aspects of our discussion with Binbou. His preferences took priority and his wishes were respected. Again, feel free to disagree with or criticise the result, but please consider the full context given before coming to your own conclusion. Personally I've been disappointed to see nearly every criticism made focus on Binbou, or a specific site policy. Whatever happens here is solely the responsibility of the staff, in this case especially mine, and whatever positive or negative results occur lie solely with us.

Besides the chapters of this series what else ended up getting removed?

Here's a list of Binbou's translations. I think almost all of them were removed.
There were also a fair number of images removed. I managed to save them all, but unfortunately couldn't archive Binbou's manga translations because of Dynasty's download limitations.

A further "official" post will be made about what was removed at a later date, I don't think I have enough interest to do it for the time being.

Re-uploaded first chapter?

Binbou Scanlations went snookapalooka and had all their uploads on Dynasty removed. Which included Fuzoroi Ch. 1.

More accurately, one person unilaterally had all of the groups' works removed despite the protest of another person who worked together on the scanlations. Still rubs me the wrong way that Dynasty's staff indulged that selfish tantrum.

Hey, I'm the primary other member of Binbou from 2013-2016. The one protesting in this instance was drpepperfan, whose collaborations with Binbou remain on the site (with those credits for Binbou now removed). Who are you referring to that was ignored?

Pardon the Bang Dream! dump, this is just a little something to commemorate Chuchu Pareo finally making their appearance for those of us in the west. Many thanks to WSDHANS for all their translation work on these!

Oh and I’ve been curious for a while, sorry if this out of place but what is the manga of your profile picture OrangePekoe?

Sure. She's Kaede Hirose from Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru, chapter 22, specifically.

Could we maybe add the names of cover artists at issue's pages when those are known?

That is a fabulous idea. I'll look into it!

Thanks for the report. I don't have any insight to offer, but with MangaDex returning very soon, I expect accessibility and speed issues to improve very soon, and significantly.

I've had the same issues for a while now and I'm pretty sure it's because so many chapters get uploaded at ridiculously high resolutions. Might be something worth checking out.

Thanks to you as well.
We're aware and it's been discussed. I'd filter chapter-specific issues into two areas, the first being upscaled images that you describe. The second being incorrectly saved images, typically PNG-24 where PNG-8 is appropriate or 100 JPG quality where PNG-24 is more appropriate.

The first is easy to correct but goes against a primary motivation behind the site (delivering whatever the scanlator intends to deliver), while also being a rather large waste of resources, given the userbase is around 70% mobile and won't benefit from 4K or similar. The second is harder to correct but would save a significant deal of resources with no drawbacks.

I'm hopeful that we'll have a solution to one or both of these issues in the near-future, but in the meantime I'll do my best to correct the second wherever I see it.

Idk why everyone keeps saying yandere, I read it as the popular girl putting these rules in place to make the weak willed girl learn how to get comfortable with saying no. I think the whole point is to train her to express herself more honestly, even if initially she’s just following orders.

While that does seem to be happening, I really don't get the vibe of it being the whole point. Rather, the assertive girl does seem genuinely possessive and enjoying being dominant, maybe shading a bit in the yandere direction, but at the same time she does to some extent have her girlfriend's interests at heart. So yes, she's trying to train her to be able to say no . . . to other people.

Would agree (excluding the yandere part) and add that MC seems perfectly happy to go along with her thus far. Hard to feel this story is in the danger zone when using phrases like "Reward Time" and MC basking in all that praise afterwards.

Weak-willed girls should be taken care of by benevolent popular girls. I approve.

Thanks for reply, but your answer a bit ambiguous tho, is the site experiencing high traffic? is it expected to have high load time since the past few days?

The site has been experiencing significantly high traffic since MangaDex's outage became semi-permanent in late March. Daily and monthly visits/visitors have risen over 20%, with peak days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) seeing increases of up to 40%. This has placed us near maximum capacity with some frequency (typically resulting in a time out / "something went wrong" page). In the meanwhile, some measures have been taken to address speed and reliability issues, but the near-term effect of those changes has been negative for at least some portion of users. My understanding is that the experience will continue improving for everyone as more time passes.

To give a more pointed answer, I made some changes on Friday that may have caused a significant number of time outs for a period of several hours. Otherwise, weekends often see high load and small back-end changes can compound the effects of that load under some circumstances. The problem should ease through the week. If it continues for you, please let us know.
