"I like girls who are straight with me."

I can't tell whether this is the worst possible translation or the best one.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ship has sailed. Idk why but I'd rather have pres with vice pres or vice pres with mc. Just 'cause ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I lean towards Yuu and Sayaka, if only because they have a lot in common as members of the "Putting Up With Touko's Shit" club.

Touko and Yuu could work, but the story still has to work its way through the former's metric fuckton of emotional baggage first.

There's a very low chance of a non-Japanese/Korean/Chinese/et al speaker visiting the Japanese/Korean/Chinese/et al website where the work is hosted/sold in a language they don't understand. So in those cases the artist stands to gain more than they lose when their work is uploaded here.

So you're saying that "japanese/korean/Chinese/et" people don't know of dynasty reader ? isya knows of dynasty reader, What exactly is stopping her from telling other yuri mangaka's about dynasty reader ? ( if she hasn't done so already )

No, I'm saying people that don't understand Japanese/Chinese/Korean generally don't go to Japanese/Chinese/Korean websites to read comics in languages they don't understand.

As for Isya being aware of Dynasty, that's one of a hundred artists whose work is featured on here. You're still looking at an extremely low rate of inter-linguistic interaction (IIRC the only reason she's aware of it is because she has Yuri-ism acting as a liaison to English-speaking countries).

As for what would happen if more of those artists came into more direct contact with Dynasty, Dynasty would probably have to update its policies to accommodate them.

After rereading the whole thing, I kinda wonder if the whole "ex-girlfriend" thing is actually real. It's pretty much a rumor that Mikawa heard and even when seeing her in the last chapter, all she as for "proof" is "I saw them going home together". Kinda baseless. Just hope Yamada will ask Kase about it outright or decide it doesn't matter instead of agonizing other it.

I think it'd be pretty lame writing if this turns out to be another "Yamada blows something ultimately insignificant out of proportion and she and Kase just laugh it off when Yamada finally confides in her about it" incident. This has been foreshadowed as far back as the previous volume, so I feel there's needs to be a little more dramatic impact in its resolution.

Even Yamada's anxiousness about post-graduation also carries a little more gravity than the previous episodes in their romantic relationship, to say nothing of the advent of their sexual relationship.

Yeah, yeah. JAQing off is a waste of everyone's time. Please cut it out.

Huh, didn't expect to run into an RWer on here.

Oh wow, I missed that completely, sorry! Now I feel like a dope.

Nah, it was all me. I fudged the setup.

For the record, I'm at least somewhat aware of intra-UK politics and know that it's not ok to mix up a UK citizen's specific nationality unless they're Welsh.

Also, am I really the first US citizen in the thread?

If the artist explicitly consents to it and I were in charge, then I'd say sure. But I'm not Dynasty, so I dunno what would actually happen. They could say no on the grounds that it's outside of the purpose and scope of the site. I'd personally think that's a shame, but I wouldn't argue against it because that's their prerogative as owners and operators of the site.

I've seen a few users here submit work to the site in the form of forum threads, but as far as I know there aren't any formal uploads on here of originally English-language work.

Yes, because the creators of those English-language works often rely on ad revenue, and hosting their work here would effectively be stealing some of their income.

There's a very low chance of a non-Japanese/Korean/Chinese/et al speaker visiting the Japanese/Korean/Chinese/et al website where the work is hosted/sold in a language they don't understand. So in those cases the artist stands to gain more than they lose when their work is uploaded here.

Plus, it seems like Dynasty more often than not is willing to remove a particular work if the author doesn't want it to be here. Though I'm somewhat fuzzy on how that works; what I've heard is that the staff here defer to scanlators as to what to do when a work here is licensed or otherwise requested to be removed. I'm not personally a fan of that policy, but if that is in fact how Dynasty operates I can respect it.

Irish. and I will be peeved if you call me British.

Surely.

It's a thing that happens from a place of ignorance rather than malice, but it peeves me none the less.

Tried to make a joke, but I screwed it up.

At that point Dynasty would take on the role of a publisher.

That'd be a decision to be made by the people running Dynasty. From what I can gather as an outsider (which isn't much), they don't have the staff or resources to pursue operations of that scale. Simply having a section that points users to English-lanaguage yuri works is more feasible as it requires much less overhead in terms site development and communication with the artists (Hello _____, would you be interested in having your site linked from dynasty-scans.com, Y/N?).

Uhh... I can't tell how serious you're being.

But my entire proposal was designed so Dynasty can help users find English-language yuri works and help the creators of those works get more exposure without being screwed over.

TFW you accidentally hit on a girl and it works.

Really, is nobody gonna comment on the talking crotch?

You just reminded me of a terrible 4chan thread.

Irish. and I will be peeved if you call me British.

Surely.

I find this one a bit less appealing too, but it's partly because the older partner isn't taking responsibility in any way.

Very strongly agreed. There's that recurring "dominant, talented partner and subservient, useless partner" in a lot of Itou's works that gives rise to some very unfortunate implications when you dig into them.

I think the ideal solution would be an entirely new section that just lists various English-language yuri- and lesbian-focused webcomics as simple HTML links.

Wouldn't english Yuri just fall under the indie category ?

I think that tag is for artists and works that are based outside of the US, primarily publish in another language, and just so happen to provide their own English translations on the side. As far as I can tell, Dynasty doesn't host comics and webcomics published and based in English-speaking countries.

I think that's for the best as many of those comics are published and readily available to English-speakers already, and the webcomics often have advertising revenue that we'd be siphoning off of them if we hosted here. That's why I suggested linking to the sites of those comics directly.

So we get an entire chapter about girls shoving their hands in between each others legs and somehow it resulted in neither sex nor gynecology.

But if you weren't pre-computing what's supposed to be happening...

This is probably where the confusion comes from for a non-native speaker. English likes to make a lot of things somewhat vague and then has you do a lot of "pre-computing": expecting you to draw a lot from from context plus assuming you already know some very non-intuitive rules and informal conventions.

English is a cruel, schizophrenic mistress.

I used to follow this series, but eventually stopped because

1) I'm a game developer and now I understand what a lot of doctors felt like watching stuff like E.R. or Scrubs.

2) It's gained a lot of popularity very quickly and part of me is a giant hipster.

Chapter 14 on the other hand gave me mixed feelings. Why it can't remain a cute and adorable SOL between a couple of dorks? Let Morinaga handle all the drama!

Keeping in mind that everything else in the series has resolved in super simple fashion, I doubt this incident will last too long.

This is what I'm thinking. Besides, I like having at least a little bit of tension in the series to shake things up every once and awhile. Stories that just coast along indefinitely without any conflict tend to get very boring if they try run over time.

Still no nips

Nips are for dips.

"I like girls who are straight with me."

I can't tell whether this is the worst possible translation or the best one.

Straight like her ex girlfriend?

Straight as a circle.

Why is Kase-san a perv? Because she wants to have sex with the girl she loves? Oh boy don't wanna know what i am :3

It's relative perv-iness. Kase's sex drive is within the range of what your average high school senior's would be, but next to Yamada "What else is there besides kissing?" Yui, she looks like a horndog.

...we're both girls.

Yamada, you just went full potato.

Never go full potato.

I have mixed feelings about this chapter. The part with Hina's friends was pretty amusing but the actual reactions between Hana and Hina are too dramatic for my tastes. And the posters are correct, the whole thing does reminds me a lot of Girlfriends.

Anyways, thank you so much to everyone on KouYuri for continue scanlating this series. You guys are the best.

Same, I frequently find myself rolling my eyes at Morinaga's attempts at drama in this series. That fatalistic melodrama seems to be a recurring theme in her more recent works.
