That very quickly stopped being about the jam... :D

It was over before they even realized, one might say.

Well, Aerith being the one to top and initiate while Tifa gets to enjoy being played with really is as old as the game. Internet porn wasn't really a big thing back then, but one of the first hentai doujin I ever read (Mainly Aerith x Yuffie, but Tifa also gets to play at the end) also uses the characters this way, though at least going by Dynasty's release date it's 10 years younger than the game. Not sure if I didn't find it a few years earlier than that somewhere, but it's been a long time regardless.

So. Just one more to go eh? Don't think Kinniku Tarou-sensei is gonna pull a fast one on the meta level, sadly, so unless we maybe get an epilogue, that'll be it.
I'll be travelling across the country next weekend by train, so I may use that time to re-read the manga from the start once more. That'll be a good send-off, then.

It's baffling how people in here of all places ascribe a moral quality to people over who they fall in love with, as though they were responsible for it and deliberately chose it. (edit: or maybe rather "ascribe a moral value to the act of falling in love based on who falls in love with whom") So what, "Ez fix, just don't fall in love with a minor/someone younger than you"? Omi's situation couldn't be handled in a more "by the book" way than "welp, gonna have to wait until she's of age".

In a place like Dynasty you'd kind of expect people to understand that you're not in control of who you fall in love with – only of what you do about it.

Holy shit, the dynamic between these two will be fun to follow, especially if we keep seeing both their perspectives, LOL

Y'know, when I read the title in the release list and saw the tags, I kinda thought "oh, that sounds like something Daphie would TL". Well, even if you didn't, I'm not surprised to see you at least enjoyed it :D
Those are some mean lolis.

Every so often I just think to myself "three hours" and smile.

Me too :)

I mean how often do we get extensive or multiple kiss scenes or are told they made out of hours?
We normally get kiss scenes of a single kiss - and then sex scenes. In fact the only other example I can think of with multi panel/page kissing or making out that lasted hours I can think of is in Choir - and maybe a few doujins.

While it is uncertain how long the makeout sessions in After School actually last, they certainly are presented in a much more gratuitous way...

Oh the sheer amount of HORNY in some of those chapters...

I always love having the parents getting properly involved with the story and the coming-out, it just adds that little bit of extra depth and grounds the story better. It'd be great if Hino-san ended up doing the grand tour, but I am already being greedy enough hoping we'll keep going for a while longer.

Cuetie you madpeople! Thank you so much for catching Dynasty up so quickly.
There will be a lot of impressions to share and read now I'm sure.

It's funny cause the first 127ish chapters are like a car going from 0 to 10, and then the few chapters since then it's gone from 10 to 275.

Can't say I really agree, it's been pretty wild from the start. It's just that they now have started openly and earnestly exploring their feelings and all the fun and romantic/erotic (let's be honest here) things they'd been pretending not to want to do for the first ~100 chapters. Here's hoping we get to see them do more of it.

Spoiler for the latest chapter on MD:

You know how in a lot of yuri it takes forever for the MCs to kiss, and then it takes forever for them to do it again?

No worries here.

Y'know, it's almost enough to get my hopes up regarding getting to see Hino tease Koguma (and Koguma inadvertently getting Hino flustered) in new and interesting and ever more spicy ways for a good while longer.

Hey, it's back, nice.
I am rather curious to see where this ends up going.
It already is a super happy-go-lucky series and I could see it becoming even more fluffy down the line. /s

Supportive mother, you love to see it.

Wingmom is one of my favorite tropes in manga/anime. Always fun to see.

At this rate, EVERYONE is going to know they're wildly in love with each other before they do.

So no change? :D
Kogumom knows, Omichii knows, Rin knows. That's the cast. Their teacher might be the only character that had more than one line who doesn't.

Last chapter just had me glued to my freaking seat, and now the comments are tempting me to go read the next chapters somewhere else x'D
¿Should I? :( I read chprt 115 in mangadex and the translation is not bad but not as HQ as stan miller's and has no redraws on the SFX
If you guys are hyping the next chapters so much, I want to enjoy them in the best way possible 'cause I love drama with every single cell in my body

Well, I'm just reading both and get to enjoy each chapter at least twice that way. Whether you want to go for maximum impact by sticking to the one highest quality source and savoring the singular experience or have "double the fun" is up to you.
Yuri Ichigo, Stan/Runrin, Stan/Chads and Cuetie were/are all a slight cut above the one by xKs on Mangadex, but it's not like that means it's bad by any stretch.

Also this:

ignore the spoilers like the plague.

Agree wholeheartedly, although I personally am not going to do any specific discussion of MD-only chapters (sorry, Zormau-san) before they appear here.

Well at the current rate Dynasty should be caught up soon enough, it's not like we're gonna have to wait ages until then. And we get to read another great translation as it releases.

Damn, can't wait for the next chapter frfr

I am 16 chapters ahead, but still in the same boat.

[major spoilers for Ch. 130]
Like, seriously, where do we go from here? Do we just end it with a short wrap up and maybe a time skip? Seems a weird choice, just after setting up a side-ship with Omichii and Rin and only relatively shortly after going weekly. Are they in a hurry to free up the release slot? Do we explore all the new and fun ways in which Hino can now tease Koguma for another 70 chapters? (Yes, please!)

I haven't read ahead, so I'm not looking at spoilers, but I mean we did see her in the rain at least once

This series will warrant a(nother) re-read pretty soon. (very mild general spoilers ahead) Current and coming chapters cast a slightly different light on some interactions.

I can't wait till the Dynasty side of this catches up cause AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah. I mean, like... I did not see that coming. Looks like Kinniku Tarou pulled a fast one on me by not pulling a fast one on me.

Daphie, were you trying to give us whiplash with the credits page?

"It's over."
"I'm sorry I don't have more content for you."
"SYKE, I ALREADY HAVE VOL 4, JUST NEED TO FIND TIME TO WORK ON IT!"

Yaaay, more fluff to come.

It's weird reading the comments as someone who can relate to Akari

She is upset that her old BFF seemingly doesn't remember her and is too stubborn to take the L and be the one to clarify it

Why would that be taking the L? Because it would forever eliminate the possibility for the other person to be the one who realize it. And thus no closure to it.

I'm sure it helps that Akari is probably acting nothing like she did back then, totally jogging Hina's memory in all the right ways.

It’s fine to be loyal to the Dynasty scanlators—quite admirable, really. So don’t go to Mangadex and read the latest chapter.

[Cackles arch-villain cackle.

It's funny, I feel like I should be happy that I more or less called it, but it was also so damn obvious that it was going to end with Koguma kissing Hino that it feels like calling every space at a roulette table.

Yes, it was absolutely amazing, but now what? There should be an aftermath, but after that last "DUMMY!" I'm pretty sure the next chapter will start in their corner of the school yard again, with those events only slowly being processed in their inner monologue while dealing with "current shenanigans", as it has largely been done for the previous 127 chapters. Come to think of it, that could be seen as one of the major strong suits of the series...

Edit: Oh wait, the preview frame hints at a scene-at-home!

from my understanding, a fetish is essentially something one finds pleasurable (sexual or not) that does not involve the parts of the body designed for sexual pleasure. so for example, "bullying" could be considered a fetish. does bullying someone (psychological or physically) have anything to do with sex? no. in spite of this fact, people still find it pleasurable to be degraded.

that's my definition I'm operating under, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong there. and if i am incorrect, please give me the word that describes my definition so i know in the future what term to use.

There's an older definition, which I'm not really a big fan of either, that denotes that the term "fetish" strictly speaking applies to elements outside the norm that are both used and required for achieving sexual pleasure/gratification. I.e. they're kind of pathological, while IIRC the term for elements outside the norm that are merely used to derive pleasure from, but not required, would be referred to as "kinks". I think it's fair to use the terms interchangeably, as they commonly are colloquially anyway, and I think that's what you were getting at.

I'm also a bit bothered by the word "bullying", because what we have here is people mildly, gently and lovingly teasing each other, while "bullying" aims to destroy a person. (The first chapter or two of Nagatoro-san kind of seemed like they might fall into "bullying", but that cleared up and mellowed out rather quickly).

fetish.

@daydream_dog94
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

(do memes work in that format?)

I mean, there are instances of groping in this series. These vary from "honest" to "hilarious", sometimes within the same scene. I don't think there's a single instance where it's anywhere near "gratuitous".
