How I would love this chapter-end bit to go, but it won't:
Him (cheerfully): "Go on a date with me!"
Her (cheerfully): "No!"

i bet it's gonna be some "act date to convince someone he doesn't have a thing with Ayu" kinda deal

ChisaTaki separately asking MizuKuru for relationship advice over comms while bringing down hell on some poor fuckers feels so in character, could've been a scene straight out of the anime. Brilliant xD

incoherent gay screeching
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they were. SO. CLOSE!

Why there's a person sitting next to the MC in this page?

that's not another person but the MC. it's an "afterimage to show movement/reaction" kinda deal. would prob be a bit clearer with motions lines or smth but oh well xD

I love how Pikachi put a booba smooch like on this page in every one of their nsfw works. a real signature move xD

alright, who's bursting through the door next

I was fr just thinking, “if there’s a jump cut to the next scene and we don’t get to see anything, I’m going to be so upset”

Given that there’s so many children around, literally any of them could walk in.

Even if they do "show" it, I wouldn't expect anything explicit beyond creative metaphors. They've apparently had sex already anyway in an earlier chapter.

That was a "look into the future" vignette, so timeline-wise they haven't actually done the do at this point in time yet

P sure none of the lycoris are ever shown with any kind of scars. Maybe the DA has really good plastic surgeons xD and i guess that'd make sense, having a bunch of JKs with obvious battle scars running around would be a tad suspicious.

I prefer it when doujins do include them though

@FluffyCow breast milk doesn't actually taste all that great unfortunately

Seriously, in what countries it's rude to show at a friend's house when they just told you to do so? (And even living just in the neighbor door). I know in Spain we are like, known for being like "social", but... I just don't understand Kase's reaction. It feels a little out of place and rude to me. And this with more or less context of what kind of society is Japan.

I think this might just be more of a "Why are you intruding on my lovey-dovey time with Yamada" kinda complaint in this case~

A great manga author once said:

"A well-trained yuri reader should be able to see yuri in any relationship."

Sorry, a question that's unrelated to this but I am curious so..
How much is too much for a person to overdose drugs?
How will that kill a person?
Did the person just happen to have a heart attack and died on spot due to overdose or..?

It's unclear whether she actually took all those pills at the end or hesitated and just fainted from stress.

To answer your question though, it depends on the medicine. They could cause cardiac arrest leading to heart failure, respiratory depression leading to brain damage, seizures, convulsions, passing out and/or vomiting leading to fall related injuries and/or choking, damage to the central nervous system or coma, to name a few.

Generally anything can be toxic if the dose is high enough. I don't remember what that medication she kept on her actually was or if it was ever mentioned but ye, there's plenty ways that could lead to death.

Can we talk about how down bad Asumi is for some bdsm, especially the puppy play? She keeps imagining it xD They better make it happen at some point!

luinthoron posted:

Well, Mitsuki will need a new shirt now.

And Aya new panties.

Such is the law of equivalent exchange

Welp, at least she's honest xD Better than making a promise she might not be able to keep to spare her feelings in the moment

Cat huffing is out of style, fox huffing is the new hotness! I bet she smells like incense and anxiety.

There is no confession, no confirmation of any relationship and generally a huge lack of commitment. I would not consider this a major yuri work at all because of that.

I vehemently disagree with this not being an explicitly yuri work.
Setting aside that all the side couples are in committed, romantic relationships, the only reason there's no formal "I love you, please go out with me" style confession is because every single word they utter to and about each other just drips commitment. They're each others' other half, they'll be together forever, they're the type of couple that's 30 years married after knowing each other for 6 months.

And the kiss being a cop-out I also disagree with. The puppet show was a metaphor for their relationship that literally put the two in the roles of the Protagonist and the Love Interest. The whole chapter ran with that metaphor so it makes sense for them to go "a happy end needs a kiss between the MC and the love interest". It's not that they're only "acting" to kiss. The kisses (note: plural, they kiss twice) are the real culmination of everything ending well, including their relationship. Also reminder that Natsuka literally "can't act for shit" so we know what she does, she does earnestly.

Imho there's a big difference between actual "subtext" and "just not putting in the most literal words possible" and this VN def falls in the latter category imo. Ignoring all this feels like the equivalent of seeing a character saying "The moon is beautiful tonight." while giving a longing look and thinking "Man, she must really like the moon, huh." xD

So Lilja and Natsuka: Painting Lies came out last week. I finished it the other day and was positively surprised, didn't expect smth this introspective from Frontwing of all studios.

Unfortunately the main pairing did not go anywhere in the end. I appreciate the explicit yuri side-pairings at least. Still somewhat baffling, unless they have planned a sequel already.

Not sure what you mean by that, they're as gay and together as can be. Maybe you missed their kissing at the christmas party?

Eyyo?

Can we finally get the obvious yuri tag now that even Seb sees the flirting... and goes on to do so herself?

For real, esp considering the series has the yuri tag on the raw site too

Does anyone know the name of the series about a mangaka whose works seem to predict the future, and the main character is her editor who's dealing with increasing disasters happening in the real world and the thought that maybe the author's creative work is somehow possibly causing those disasters that she predicts?

it's this one. Fully translated over on MangaDex:
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/a_girl_like_a_pilgrim

I'm so glad this series is popular enough to have advertisements like this at a station in Akihabara. Gives me hope that we'll get an anime one day~

Sorry to be blunt, but Windyfall is easily the worst quality translation that's consistently posted to Dynasty - normally I get the impression that there's some quality control with regards to what is allowed on here, but it's like they're an obvious exception to this. Every time I'm about to read something that was translated by them I brace myself for unreadable mess.

They have a long history and have been mostly good. Just check all their other releases throughout the years. I haven't seen much issue with them until recently.

idk if i'd call over a year 'recent', just look at this one from April last year. And that's just the first one i consciously remember rn

this seemed a bit all over the place. maybe there's context i'm missing?

Doesn't help that the translation is pretty rough again, some parts barely make any sense.

KOGA MITSUKI, YOU HOUND! You can't just unleash your rizz into the public like that, you'll cause casualties!
