I always thought the "voice" was just simplified way to call the abstract process everyone experience. You don't really "hear" anything, it's just different thoughts, images etc. floating around in your mind. When I think about something or create sentences in my mind, I don't actually use my voice or any voice, it just is there (unless I'm remembering quote or something). So I imagine, what Tsundere hears isn't any actual voice, but the raw thoughts of any given person. It would pose a question how she knows whose minds she reads, but since it's supernatural ability, I'd say she just does.

Kotoura-san presents it in the similar way. Kotoura was able not only to "hear", but also "see" the exact same thing other person was, so she wasn't just perceiving someone's inner voice, but also what they were imagining etc.

Don't you know saying no is just like foreplay? It's more of a flavor text.

I found them some time ago and felt like sharing.

Do you know who runrin is? Redrawer and typesetter. Worked like a mule on this manga (as there was a truckload of redrawing to do) just for you, just so that you (and other people like you) would be able to read and enjoy the story.

Well, runrin asked something from us, in this very page, just a few messages up. This is what she asked:

lets not make this thread about debating Lovecraft's racism.

Now do you feel like a silly little fool?

Except that even Runrin you're putting on pedestal here, had no issue continuing discussing the topic. You had no issue when Nene wrote their small wall of text directly replying to Runrin, which supposedly is going against their wishes, yet only after I disagreed with Nene, you guys started insulting me for supposedly not honoring what Runrin asked for. I'd say insulting other people and trying to police what can and can't be discussed on behalf of Runrin goes against what they wanted more than anything I said. Not to mention moderating isn't your job and trying to argue with actual mod that they aren't doing their job correctly is short of laughable.

Em no. His worldview was everything to him and it took over his writing. Whatever he thought about topic, it was bleeding into his stories. Saying his political views weren't present there and anything you can get from his books depends on the person reading, is just dishonest. If you want to learn about him in entertaining way.

Also Kurumi questioned Nika's decision to date her enough when she first proposed it, so I think at this point asking her if she really even likes girls would be really insensitive on Kurumi's part.

Magia Record starts promising.

Because based on what we've seen of Kurumi, she doesn't mind Nikaidou being in love with someone else, if it's one sided.

I think it was just easier to ignore when it was just one-sided. It made possibility of Nika eventually forgetting him and falling for her slightly higher. Notice that after she talked with Jun, Kurumi become more aggressive in trying to win Nika over and make her forget about Jun. She did mind that Nika was in love with Jun, but was still able to push those worries aside and pretend like she didn't care. It changed once Nika found out the truth about Jun's feelings and Kurumi saw her reaction to it. Kurumi no longer could pretend that it didn't bother her and even outright started to avoid Nika. She agreed to meeting Kyou on new year's, because she didn't believe Nika would want to meet her now that she knows Jun loves her. Kurumi constantly kept thinking Nika is meeting Jun without her knowledge. She pretty much couldn't keep dating her, while lying to herself and not acknowledging that Nika might like Jun more than her. So she finally couldn't take it anymore and asked Nika to confront Jun and come back only if she truly chooses her.

Guess I was misremembering that part.

It's even worse. They don't even date by the end of the manga. Yuu gets fed up with Haruka and confronts her to progress their relationship, but while Haruka admits they're not normal friends, she still doesn't want to admit they're dating or in love, so Yuu swears she will seduce her in collage. It ends with promise of them dating. And then people wonder why some people are afraid of trusting anime/manga with yuri ending or even yuri in general, when shit like that happens all the time. It's annoying sometimes, but I can't blame anyone for feeling burnt out about yuribaits and approaching any new series with extreme caution.

Well, it's text of the anime. They both have no clue what dating and love means and series end with them wondering if they can ever figure it out. And for entire manga they never actually end up dating. Kissing is just means for them to feel special as friends. I never felt so betrayed and baited in my entire life.

Kurumi wants Nika to make sure she's with her because she truly loves her and not because she tries to forget her feelings for Jun, because that option would make them both miserable in the long run. Kurumi asks Nika to face her true feelings and make a decision she won't regret later.

Sakura Trick isn't yuri anime though. It's bait. They're not dating or in love. They're just very special friends.

Anything is better than 2019.

I'm writing from the future. 2020 is not worth it guys, you should skip it.

I'm surprised nobody is talking how after mom said "you earn too much, better sell your house and come support me with that money", they just did that. That's why I hate putting family over everything else.

Sounds like Koyuki will finally confess her friendship next chapter.

Can we get lolicon and ecchi/NSFW tags? Really would have appreciated the warning.

They're clearly in high school. Ecchi/NSFW for 1 shot of panties? That's a overkill.

Wholesome? She's a total slut handholding with all of her friends.

Adorable. Does the friend know that her friend is a succubus though? The fact that she was like "I need to recharge" and whatever suggests she might, but then the next one says she doesn't? I guess it was a just a joke but still confused me for a sec.

"Needing to recharge" as in hugging someone for a bit when you're low on energy and need to recharge your battery is very common half-joke phrase. It fits her perfectly, since she's doing it literally.

i'll probably hold off on reading the original for now. i'll get too spoiled by the backlog and then have to wait ages for this to catch up.

There's only 5 chapters of original, so this one should catch up really fast.

Well her trying to figure out whatever it's just a friendship or a actual love would be a very fitting thematically considering the series is called between Philia (love for friend) and Eros (love for partner).

A few questions...

1. Why was her "Mom" originally in the middle of nowhere when they first encounter her?

She says she just woke up there. Most likely that's where Stigma resurrected her or w/e he did to her.

1. How did she die.

We don't know. She might died at that place (drowning?) or it might be unrelated and that's just where Stigma happened to summon her.

1. How/Why did mother and daughter get separated

Again. We don't know.

1. Oh shi- the Orphanage people know their secret identities (problem?).

Yea. I'm curious how it will be handled too.

1. and yeah I kinda think the Orphanage director is shifty (maybe I'm just stereotyping)

I think it's just that 1 panel happened to look shady, but I guess time will tell.

If anyone has spoilers I'd be happy to read them otherwise I"m waiting on pins and needles for the next chapter.

There are no spoilers. It's currently ongoing manga and we're up to date. As soon as new chapter comes out it gets translated and released in like 1-2 days.

should we be expecting lots of releases now that yuri project has picked this up?

Since it appeared in every volume of Galette, there's currently 12 chapters out.
