Didn't the duel end on a draw? Why is Shion saying that she lost?

prob bc she failed to defend her lady's honor, in a "not winning is equivalent to losing" kinda way.

Damn, Mom's being written too believably as a depressed Asian mother...I dunno what the author's intentions are but I actually don't want the moms to hook up? I really feel like sometimes there really is a time and place for everything and them pairing up would really be a bit too convenient and almost take away from the snippets of realism with Luxi's upbringing to have both daughters and mothers pair up. Though an arc where Tong Tong's mom plays wingwoman for Luxi's mom's post-divorce romantic adventures would be welcome.

I agree. I want them to be friends not girlfriends. I believe they'd both benefit more from being friends and it would be more realistic than them dating. Tongtong's mom is just too straight. Friendships are just as important as romantic relationships. Besides, I don't recall any of the mothers written as having any other friends.

the part of me that cares about a well written story agrees with all of this 100%. The lesbian gremlin part of me is like "ok but consider: what if they kiss" and i gotta say, that's a p strong argument

Y'know what would take care of this triangle conundrum it's shaping up to? polyamory :D

Meguru can have a non-sexual romantic relationship with Azuki and Remu can take the sexy-smexy part (romance optional). Everyone's happy~ ^^

Theres also this one https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_girls_magic_flute and its sequel

.

but I managed to at least find Junior Highschool Girl x Married Woman, where two of the three very short stories have this kind of couples.

Those are both new to me, thanks!

Also, while not having much in terms of stories, does Delia x Jessie count?

They are precious and they absolutely count! :D

After rereading Uniform and Parasol now that it's here i'm wondering if there are more like it, younger girl x someone's mom yuri.

Off the top of my head I'm aware of and have read the eponymous JK-chan and Her Male Classmate's Mom, Housewife x JK and the webtoon What Are The Chances.

Anybody know more?

There's always Mira's My Daughter's Girlfriend (NSFW, of course).

Ooh of course, how could i forget! That one's a classic

i don't really think the "author" is different at all anyhow? like sure, Inori isn't the one drawing the manga but they're still the one writing the story. So presumably Inori either tells Aono Shimo what to draw or they sign off on it at the very least. Either way, Inori not having any input on the adaptation seems highly unlikely to me

I promised to get back to you: Inori says she supervises the manga, while Aonoshimo is the one writing and drawing it.

Thanks! Supervising it is basically signing off on the story being portrayed in this way, so that's good enough for me as far as "canon" goes.

I wouldn't expect anything less wholesome from the author of Wanna Sip?.

Did you consider it's also the author of Romance Code though? :P

in the biz they call that "range", i believe xD

...I don't remember any of this from the light novel. Is this a filler chapter?

Not filler but this whole "fake date" thing is a manga only creation, so it depends on how you view it since the mangaka in charge of the manga adaptation isn't the same as the original LN author.

Well it's pretty common for manga adoption to take some liberation and deviate a bit from the original creation.

True but people will judge things differently depending on whether the OG author is handling the adaptation or someone else. Since that person asked about filler, I wanted them to know the context. They might not have known that the author is different, and they might not have known that these events aren't in the OG novels.

The additions haven't really deviated at all, anyway. Just added a little context, and gave some characters a bit more screentime (Lilly and Thane, specifically) but everything else is mostly the same, which is good.

So is it normal to compare your lover’s body to a child?? Like damn that’s harsh. At least Elsa doesn’t seem to GAF and isn’t insecure about her body

I’m kinda getting sick of Evie holding back. You’re dating her, you’ve bathed with her, looked at her naked body, but no kissing? No touching? Her line about trying to make their relationship more intimate makes no sense when she’s the one holding back

Having a convo bout the villainess system would make up for the lack of development in their relationship

I'm so confused, I thought it was implied that they had sex before, but now this is the first time they've seen each other naked...? Also, they've kissed a few times before, but now she seems unusually cold... I don't want to blame censorship, but I feel like a step back has been taken.

The vignette you're probably remembering was "a significant amount of time after the events of chapter 57", aka a flash forward. So they will bang eventually, but they haven't yet at this point in time of the story.

It's been quite a long time. Does anybody know the status of this series?

The remake is currently at Ch11, so while there are some minor changes, bonus omake, etc, we're somewhere between the old version's Vol 4 and 5. I keep up with the series fairly obsessively, so I'm always happy to answer questions!

What's the status of the english translation on that? Last time i checked it'd been a while since the last update. Is it fully abandoned now or did sensei pick it back up again?

Actually, for this series, they redrew a lot of SFX. Not always, but often.

Official don't redraw SFX at all. They just add a small side text.

Scanlators go beyond what official cares to do.

You make it a simpler matter than it actually is. I, as I'm sure many other people too, don't want to see SFX redrawn. They're part of the original art, not just something superimposed. It's over-localization and usually it also results in more of the page being covered up by necessity. Side text is the way to go.

I'm a fan of the Yen Press house style, where the sound effect is labeled with a transliteration of the sound in Japanese, with English in parenthesis describing what the sound is. Ex "doki doki (heartbeat)". It's educational! :)

Second that

Anyone got recomendations for Rich x Poor yuri? Preferably ones that aren't abusive.

The Social Gap can prob get you started there, a lot of series there include that dynamic.

Got her own knock-off Mimi roommate and all

"scouted/kidnapped to the school for her magical aptitude"

Nah she's so sickly and can't fight and her grades suck too ToT

i'm rereading the first volume since it just came out in English and they did say that the school is an orphanage for kids without parents, so something definitely happened to Haru's family. Orphaned by the war seems the most likely explanation then
