what is this now?
did the artist just give up on writing (shitty) drama?

Well, the last volume had an arc about some creepy stalker girl in love and obsessed with Mei and at the end of the arc as always everything was fine and Mei and Yuzu became closer , does that count as shitty drama?

what, who?
that sounds really dumb

Shiraho, or Shirapon-senpai, as Yuzu calls her. And it was not bad, she was not a romantic rival, more like she is obsessed with observing Mei, and gathering information about her. She openly says it is more like a worship. Main concern Yuzu had was that Shirapon-senpai does not discover the nature of the relationship between the step-sisters. Which, of course, she does, and her observation was "the path of love the two of you share, will further excite your hearts from unknown chemical reactions". And, of course, she is now part of the cast, as it seems. I quite like her character.

Nora89
Yes. that answers it. Strange country, though.

Also, apologies for sliding myself into this, but purely out of curiosity, Nora89, what is the terminology in your language? I am asking because, for example, in my language (Croatian), it is astronomija (astronomy), and astrologija (astrology), and almost every other language in the region, and wider, uses similar terms. Namely, their own coinages of the Greek words 'astronomia', and 'astrologia'. I have not heard any non-Greek originating terms for those fields.

Astronomy is also the oldest science, at least when we are speaking about natural sciences. People in the field today often use the term astrophysics, since so much of it revolves around physics, but there is also a lot of chemistry in it.

Honestly, it is the slight dissonance between the art style and the semi-dark-ish subject matter that has left me with the impression of 'something is odd here'. I mean, yes, it is Pukuichi, so, not a big surprise there, but still, the art just does not look like the style for contemplating death, or death at the hands of a loved one (and presented with a positive spin, at that). Plus, the characters are somewhat too cutesy looking/behaving, so that contrasts even more with their thoughts.

Overall, was cute. Weird, but cute.

This is bloody brilliant! I like how they make no distinction in spelling between 'U' and 'V', rendering it both as 'V', is a nice touch~

MORE, PLEASE!

What lazylikeyourass said.

I like this one, Nika's character intrigues me. Why was she miserable in the cafe that day, why does she jump so fast at the chance someone (and a girl this time) likes her, is she simply promiscuous, and takes everything on the fly, or is she searching for something more in the people she dates? Will keep an eye on this one, looks promising.

As for the whole 'slut' discussion... really? Some people are just prudes, simple as that, why do we need two pages of discussing it?

Really like this, it oozes intimacy, especially when you remember how Fine got that scar, and what it means to Izetta.

Also, bonus points for abs. Abs are always nice~

120% agree with the top comment!

benja Yeah, that broom ride under the moonlight was totally giving off the 'good friends' vibe. Lots of good friends have similar experiences. The series is gay as hell!

Of course it is canon, this is what you get when you zoom-in that last scene in front of the cottage~~

BakemonoJoker She did not become old... she is in a wheelchair because she lost the ability to walk after Sophie beat her in their first encounter. It was because of the injuries she sustained in that particular combat. She was only able to walk afterwards because of the magic she was able to wield once she was given the other half of the stone, so it stands to reason she is once again unable to walk after draining the world of all remaining magical energy. The usage of the stone does not age her, it just shortens her lifespan.

But yeah, you are right on the tiny lifespan thing, in all probability. Considering she pulled such an enormous, never before attempted feat, using an item that sucks her lifespan proportionally (as in, the more you use it, the more it sucks away, as is implied). Especially when you consider that Sophie died before she even approached the size of magical crystal Izetta produced, effectively running out of lifespan to sacrifice (although that was in large part because she used the stone longer than Izetta, so she had less to go on, but in any case, it does not bode well for Izetta's lifespan).

Yey, an "Izetta" image~ Izetta's breasts are waaaaay too small, though. Her bust size was even comically referred to in the scene where they try to force her into Fine's corset thingy.

Page 14 had me going "YES, MAKE HER FALL FOR YOU, this will be gooooooood, looking forward to new chapters".

Page 16, THE END. Like, what the fuck???

Other than that, burning hot as usual from Comaku~

To clarify, I did say, in the very first sentence, that we do get the occasional occurrence of transphobia in the Forum, but such instances are quickly shot down. What I meant by "transphobia as such" (and I realise I should have made myself more clear) was what the original poster was talking about. Basically, active, site-wide hostility that openly says trans people are unwelcome, and should just leave, as I understood from their comment. Anyway, poor wording on my part.

I took his comment as less "transphobia doesn't happen here" and more "transphobia is largely mitigated here".

This, basically. And no, I do not consider it taking a progressive stance on social change, and any of that. Just stating that this is the usual atmosphere on this site. Cases of open transphobia are moderated, and there are no groups of cis-women going after trans people for "sticking their nose in their space".
In short, I probably should have been more specific in my comment.

Hm, so as far as I could tell Nico was lying about liking Tsubasa (romantically, at least - she was still kind-of acting like a fangirl). She and Tsubasa were hanging out as friends, but Nico told Maki that it was a date to make her jealous. Tsubasa knew this, which was what she was teasing Maki about.

I have to admit, it confused me a bit too, mostly due to Nico's surprisingly good acting skills - I honestly thought she did have a crush on Tsubasa and that this would turn into a dramatic love triangle.

Where did you get the "she was just acting" part? I re-read it, and for the life of me, I seem unable to find it. What I got from this, Nico was/is attracted to Tsubasa, Maki is attracted to Nico, and, apparently, Nico is also attracted to Maki, but it takes Tsubasa pointing it out for her to notice. Tsubasa does not seem to be attracted to either of the two.

Honestly, I kind of do not like this one, feels rushed and mildly confusing. Also, Maki following them, and then just butting in like that with "I'm not letting Nico-chan go!" seems too forceful and impolite for my tastes, especially since, by that point, she had no idea Nico might reciprocate her feelings. My immediate reaction was 'who even called you here'. Probably poor execution on the author's part. Or just my dislike of the 'you belong to me' type of declaration. I mean, yes, yes, judging manga by real life standards is not the general rule, but I could not help but think if a friend of mine, even a friend I potentially harboured romantic feelings towards, basically stalked me while I was meeting someone else, and then just rushed in at one point, declaring they will not let me go... yeah... that would be the last time I would see said friend. Ever.

While Dynasty Forum does indeed have moments of transphobia, such users are almost always shot down rather quickly, by both Staff, and other users. Besides, how transphobic can the Forum be, when the most active moderating staff member is trans herself. Most flame wars that do erupt mainly revolve around futanari. Namely, can some cases of Futa be also considered Transgender, and are Futa works also Yuri. Site has its policy on those questions, but there is a population of users who do not agree with said policy, so we get an occasional skirmish over particular works. But transphobia as such, and telling trans people to leave, or something, no, that does not happen here. And on the off-chance it does, users involved get penalised rather quickly.

The feeling I had at the end was "is this all".

In case anyone's wondering, that other girl in chapter 14 is featured in another one-shot comic.

Oh my... That's cute.
So maybe she wanted advice from a real couple

That was my impression as well, even before I read that one-shot.

Wait, is Miyu a guy or girl? I can't tell

From the context, quite obviously a girl, since her sister teases her about sisters+girl-on-girl-action. Plus, she looks like a girl. To me, at least. Plus, bathing together is more common for same sex siblings.

Lol-ed really hard at this. The reference to other manga by Mochi was awesome, is like they are having fun at their own expense.

Draws yuri incest manga --> "Your sister thinks your stories about sisters are really nice." winkwink

Edit: also, what Shynaku said.

^Hard to tell, since this is actually the most represented pairing for Kanade. That being said, I always hated these kinds of plots. What about pictures, friends, family, etc., not to mention the actual lover, are they expecting all of them to just keep silent? And yes, yes, Japan, lesbians, secret relationship. Still. Mobile pictures are not far-fetched, plus saved messages, plus the actual lover would need to just take this.

Maybe this will get a continuation? Sure looks like it could.
