It’s been over 2 years, and I still don’t understand why this is called Anemone is in Heat. I guess I’m missing something here. The series itself is still as good as ever though.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to flower language (anemones symbolizing anticipation and a reminder to enjoy the moment, at least according to google searches). I'm pretty sure the "heat" in the title is intended as deep romantic love, not the animalistic sexuality it usually means. (Maybe something got lost in translation there, can't say for sure.)

The intense newly-weds vibe from this chapter. I need insulin.

I saw the tragedy tag, but missed the abuse tag. So that page hurt. I was ready for her friend dying, not that. Especially the line about not being able to tell anyone. Brings up memories I want to keep buried.

I really hope the story isn't biographical.

Bug girl is best girl. Also, to quote my wife: "Well looks like she don't need CPR."

I'll also join the "Komachi can see premonitory corpses" camp. And her prescribing to the idea that the predictions should come true would explain some things. Like why her survival may have been a bad thing and trying to "help" Satsuki fall to her death. (Maybe people that can see premonitory corposes can't see their own?)

She should have been decapitated in chapter 1 and tampering with that broke something in the death mechanism.

I really hope the story doesn't go the Final Destination type of "fate is real and actively conspires to kill people" plot device. That just undermines the entire point of stories about predictive superpowers, since what's the point of watching a character struggle to make the world better if there's some kind of omniscient entity ensuring that their successes are just drawn out failures in disguise?

That and I have a distinct distaste for the concepts of fate and destiny. The idea that certain people are just meant to be in certain positions is an excuse for entirely too much apathy in society.

Page 15~19 reminding me that this is really just a drama-filled superhero story without the spandex. There are action movie heroes with less stamina than Satsuki.

Put a ring on her

Yes!

Telling your girlfriend "there's no reason to be embarrassed about showering together because we're both girls" is some judo using the power of comphet against itself power move lol

Nagisa is too pure for this world. I'm ace and saw through that ploy...

And then Mashiro immediately reassured her when Nagisa was anxious. Best part of the chapter, imo. Supportive partners. ♥

The advantage of being an immortal couple is that you can wait the necessary decades to recover before having another child.

I'll second that comment about this chapter feeling too ecchi. Nearly half the pages are dedicated to groping...

Though the second half perfectly captures the feeling of euphoria from gender affirmation, so I'm still going to read the next chapter.

Edit: Also people complaining about her passing being "unrealistic" haven't seen East Asian twinks. Why are these little fruity boys curvier than me? Damn. (Please note I am not making a weird equivalence between twinks and trans women)

As a trans woman, I gotta say I understand. "That feeling when you're jealous of a boy..." has basically become my catch phrase on my friends' discord. Some people just hit the genetic lottery.

Meanwhile, I look like Lurch without the dignity.

I'm guessing that this is going to be our couples first "domestic", which will hopefully lead to the "making up" swiftly afterwards

I do get a distinct "Now apologize and kiss me" vibe off those expressions in the last page. Hopefully no physical abuse, though; I hate that slap then kiss shit.

A leukemia diagnosis is what pushed my best friend to start transitioning. And also pushed me to tell her just how much she matters to me. Chemo was brutal and she was contemplating giving up... Well, I wanted to make it perfectly clear just how much having her in my life. That was years ago... And she calls me wife almost every day. ♥

P.S. Fuck cancer. Kill that crab.

The intention was good, but somebody's gonna be in the dog house for this...

Hmm. A dog collar would fit her work look pretty well.

... but I'm disappointed she's not accidentally seductive here too. Would make it nicely confusing for everyone involved, and probably way funnier to read.

Scene may not be done yet. There's still time for charisma nat 20.

Followed by the two friends telling them that they're also going out, roll credits.

Don't get my hopes up. I don't want to be hurt again.

...
I mean... I wouldn't say no?

^ May I introduce you to my OTP, Adora and Catra?

Honest couples are best couples.

Lesbians of my childhood.

Read the title: Outrage!
Read the contents: [happy transbian noises]

That summarizes my deep and philosophical thoughts on the matter. (That's self-deprecating sarcasm, if it wasn't obvious.)

Edit: Oh, I already commented on the manga. Huh. I completely forgot that I had...

Who do I have to kill to become shark? :<

Some author: "Well of course she doesn't try to transition back. I mean, every guy wants to be a girl deep down, right?"

[sound of one egg cracking]

....Anyways so the first few pages absolutely fucking blindsided me what the hell is this manga about lol

Thirsty idiot does everything in her power to spend time with her waifu. With occasional guest star Box Cutter-chan, because abrupt drama sells books, I guess.

damn ninjas wasting onions when they're so expensive now

Onion ninjas are the worst... :<

Both? Both. Both is good.

This is really cute. I like the chalk looking outlines, it's a little detail that adds to the innocent vibe.

Though does anyone else keep thinking "quagsire" when they look at the ghost?
