Oh hell yeah

^ lol

in the show, they belabor at length how for each the other is JUST LIKE A SISTER

misread the title and was extremely disappointed to not find both of their minds in a single cat's body

good imo

"Gay as a tangerine"?

Some years back, I asked out a cute bartender, and she responded laughingly, "honey, that's sweet, but I'm as gay as a tangerine." The phrase has stuck with me.

drifting away nothing, she's just capable of switching styles https://twitter.com/kougiw/status/1433751937690660864

Shizuko? Manipulative? Surely not...

same

I'm no expert, but I highly doubt that's a peculiarly English thing. The syphilis thing definitely isn't.

aycs

gosh

They're all the EN equivalent of JP idioms, with almost exactly the same meanings.

The only thing that's changed in substance is Keke's reply (the "but I'm Chinese?"). In the JP, she doesn't know the term warikan (splitting the cost) and replies, confused, "pelican? like the bird?" I changed it to keep it actually a joke (and hopefully funny).

Only other change was losing a bit of wordplay in Chisato's last line that was pretty much impossible to preserve, playing up her love of round things.

Good shit

What the hell, people. I also thought she was a guy at first, but the proper reaction to discovering she's not isn't "ew what the hell why is she drawn like a MAN" it's "oh, I guess I was wrong."

Some ladies are pretty masculine, by birth or choice, and that's OK.

nice page names

I think it's less a Thing that happened or anything and more just an artist or two with Preferences who are getting more air

"ruined" is a strong word, but the author is/was fairly new to cartooning, and it shows, especially in that first panel

pairing tags here are just alphabetical

A in love with B in love with C is the classic definition of a love triangle, despite it perhaps seeming more like an angle. A and C aren't required to have any relation at all.

And damn our MC is a fucking mess, and the friend is obviously into that. Feeling a train wreck coming on.

aiming to be a stage actress

this bit is def drawn from anchan, who's found quite a bit of work these last few years as a stage actress

Anime seems decent so far. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's pretty, the characters are cute, and it's got Rikako playing a former idol being bullied by marine animals.

Cog is and has always been good

I've never seen anything to support the ship, though it's reasonably popular and pretty friggin' cute

Yeah, a lot of the Nijigasaki NPCs are pretty compelling. Add in the twin Student Council Secretaries X Shioriko as one I wanna see.

wanna read this douj
