Uh what. As someone who grew up on Card Captor Sakura, I think Sakura x Syaoran is a perfectly good couple, and while yes Sakura x Tomoyo could have been beautiful, I think they're fine as is. Tomoyo herself was fine and content with her one-sided love, why are you being bitter about it?

Umpteenth iteration of the old tired homophobic pattern: girl A loves girl B, never asks her out, girl B finds bf, girl A decides that as long as girl B is happy she is happy too and sublimates her romantic love into platonic sisterhood.
Even the useless lesbians of today are better than these antigay caricatures.

Also this is not "80s shoujo style". This, this and this are what called 80s shoujo style, and this manga art is not it.

This and this.
There were many styles in the 80s and 90s, unlike today when, as somebody said before, moeblob style has swallowed everything.

The Chinese language prolly has some sort of onomatopoeia of its own for hearbeats...

Her mom doesn't condone the act of that, just that some people are forced into such roles. socioeconomics and so on

Tongtong: "Mommy! Is there any chance that Lin Xiao Lu would start liking me even if I'm a girly girl?"

(snip image)

That isn't condoning it, that's just stating it would work on her.

I'm almost 100% certain that the 3-page pilot for the series confirms that Tong's mommy is ok with buying & selling romantic and sexual favors with money.

What's more, the principal is SATAN NO ASHI !!!

Now I want her to flunk the tests, just to see Maron go rescue her in Kekko Kamen guise. XP

Onibi and Mask should make love already. :)

RIP Shohei, you'll be forgotten

We have another mini to release and then 30 pages of Mio and Shizuka. Get ready.

I don't know if to be happy or sad about that

Be afraid, be very afraid.

I downloaded the chapter to read it at ease and the folder was named:

Gyaru_and_Ghost_7_final

I sure hope it's not the final chapter of the series... ><;;

Ye they really will go oneshot direction

I feel so naive for thinking they weren't all these years

IKR? I'm so disappointed. I wished so hard for them to stay together...

Well. Chapter 10 went with full old fashioned, no-irony corn.

Oh I dunno about no-irony, GuGu's entry was hilarious. The team was losing badly and they were heatedly discussing how to revert the situation and then suddeny the gym door was slammed open with a BAM that made everybody jump... and anyone who is genre savvy would expect such a scene to announce the appearance of the hero of the story who has arrived late but is now going to win the game for the main characters... but it was just some random fangirl who then started jumping and cheering for her favorite player. It made me lmao so hard. XD

Author-san: "A pure love between a slightly unhealthy couple, what do you think?"

Me: Please proceed, full speed ahead.

The covers, especially the one in the first issue, fooled me so bad.

I thought I had it figured out: the red haired gyaru was the dangerous one, the "forbidden girl" who does non licet things and is a perfect delinquent, and she would snare the other girl into a taboo relationship.

I am realizing only now that the dangerous one is the other one, lmao.

@botmj I couldn't help but notice your Hitsugi Katsugi no Kuro avatar. I'd read that manga, but it was never licensed where I live (and buying the US version is too expensive for me) and I don't think it was ever scanlated.

Whoa I didn’t think anyone ever knew about this series. You can read it here https://mangakakalot.com/chapter/hitsugi_katsugi_no_kuro_kaichu_tabi_no_wa/chapter_1

I’d hyperlink it but I’m on mobile rn. Sorry for off topic, mods.

I actually created the Wikipedia article for it lol

You're Juandmarco in the English wiki? I sometimes notice your contributions, often in the pages of Japanese voice actresses.

How old is Sakura again?

From what I can judge from her appearance and behavior, I'd say 8-10 years old... watching these couple is like watching the interaction of Minori and Koko.

No yuri tag, I see. Guess it's better this way.
If there was a yuri tag, this would likely go the way of Bondage Fairies... :/

So if she wasn't going for a kiss, what was Nononon trying to do? Hide her face?

They definitely need to put these warning signs on all the roads leading to town.

Innocent defenseless adults need to know what's waiting for them. XDDDDDDDDD

I read it in Spanish weeks ago, I was eagerly waiting for the English version!

Reaaally? Which site? Or just mangadex? I will check it out to see if I can get to read new chapters faster

The link to the site in another thread.

I'm horribly worried.
One day, they will send her the bill.
A perfect sexaroid? I dread to think about the number on the price tag.
Poor mc-chan will need to get two more jobs to pay her debt.

The lady being tattood is hot

I'd say. Now the tattoo artist is horny and will have no choice but to boff her.

Hard to believe, I know.

NO WE'RE NOT GFS WE'RE NOT GAYS HAHA THE VERY IDEA WE'RE JUST FRIENDS!

I hate when this happens.
Show some guts and come out proud, geez.

To clarify, the term Nikaidou uses in ch93 is "tottemo nakayoshi na kankei" (ie. "friendly" as in "close", not explicitly "we're friends"). Basically, it hits the perfect middle ground of describing how close they are while still leaving it vague enough for Ranbara to misunderstand.

That makes sense. And Kageko being the adorable ball of shyness and dorkiness she is, she no doubt prefers to keep her relationships private (as in, it would be mega embarrassing for her to let people know she's dating someone) so she's grateful that Sakurako gave a nonspecific answer that doesn't tell any lie or falsehood but keeps the issue vague.

Werewolf girl falls for normal girl because she feeds her delicious jerky.
Werewolf girl will now eat normal girl (but in a different way than the jerky).

MC on her best way to become a NEET, kinda reminds me of an early-stage Neeko.

Apologize to Neeko.

How should we take the "self-satisfaction" in the title? Does the author try to imply that she blatantly identifies with one of these girls?

It's super obvious she identifies with the cute normie who tamed a badass delinquent.

What kind of old-school game lets you kiss your teammate to recover health?

Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland.

Aah so that is what they were playing... I wondered...

They are actually playing Kirby Super Star though

Lol I never played any Kirby game before, so I really wouldn't know. What clues are there? Only the part about kissing sempai and regaining life?
