you can find a quick walkthrough

You're definitely going to need one too. It's super easy to miss the most significant chunk of the story and not even realize it.

Okay, but ... how many doujins would not be spoiler? I appreciate the arguments being made in favour of the tag, but it seems like they would cover most doujins. I mean, the big reveal when you get to the end of EoSD is that the person responsible for the scarlet mist incident is a vampire named Remillia Scarlet, and spoiler-proofing that felt a little bit ridiculous.

The existence of a character doesn't really seem like a spoiler for a series where there's like hundreds of different characters, at least in my opinion. When it comes to a character's existence I'd consider it a spoiler only if it's their actual identity that's a spoiler. For example (Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood spoilers) King Bradley being the homunculus Wrath or Selim Bradley being the homunculus Pride would both be spoilers. But the existence of either character is not in itself a spoiler.

How far into a series does something have to be for it to be a spoiler? The original Full Metal Alchemist made a big deal about the revelation of his automail, but it's at the end of the first episode and nobody can seriously call it a spoiler worth tagging at that point. The tag for Madoka Magica seems to be mostly a shorthand for it being set in the Rebellion timeline, but can you really mark that on the series itself? At some point it's on the reader to understand they're going to be spoiled, possibly on big plot points, on works that came out after the parts you haven't seen/read.

If it's a major reveal then it should be spoilered. Something like the Mami death thing is intended to be a big deal in the story so it should be spoilered. Ed's automail isn't a huge deal for the most part, especially since it's revealed so early on. The big issue with things like Madoka is that something like the Mami deal would be tagged the same way as a Rebellion spoiler which can cause confusion to someone trying to avoid one kind of spoiler but not the other.

Even still I proffer the uniqueness and sound of 'Miss sunflower' - and have known her as that for for SO long - (like 7+ years?) it's hard to change at this point.

This is probably the biggest issue. If it had started out as Himawari-san then you wouldn't be hearing complaints. But changing it after so long is going to be jarring or even confusing and will feel quite arbitrary. It should've stayed as Miss Sunflower for consistency's sake.

Sorry about that then, but this is a anime/manga site, and that is pretty well known, comparable to Rosebud on a movie based site. It's something that shouldn't rly need to be avoided talking about.

They make a good point though. Just because a spoiler is old does not mean everyone should be expected to know about it. If you're only just now getting into something it's still a spoiler. I've even seen people get spoiled on bits of Star Wars of all things despite it being a 40ish year old series simply because they're too young for it to have been extremely popular when they were younger and they simply haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Spoilers are always spoilers and if it's not in a place where those spoilers would be expected knowledge (ie: That Mami spoiler in an actual Madoka-related thread) then it should be tagged as such simply out of respect for those who might not have had a chance to see the source material just yet.

Sooooooooooo cute!
Kase seems to be passive aggressive with the pats on ze backs.
Almost as if subconsciously she is saying Mine , Back off".

I'm pretty sure you're looking into that way too much. That's just Kase being Kase. She's always been touted as a fairly tomboyish and somewhat dense girl so being a bit rough like that is to be expected.

drpepperfan posted:

Kawaii mentioned that after the last release: "Oh, before I forget, we decided to change Miss Sunflower’s name to Himawari-san from the next chapter onward. Using Miss Sunflower was decided by the first translator of this series and we kept it this way so far, but the group has changed greatly over the time, and we think that keeping the name more to the original fits better."

Personally I think it was a bad choice. It's really jarring to suddenly change things after 30 chapters like that and Himawari-san just sounds so much more generic than Miss Sunflower which is really distinctive and feels very fitting for the story.

It'd be a good idea, at least in my opinion, to add in the author's name in parentheses to repeat titles.

This looks to be laying the groundwork to make Shouko possibly become the linchpin for whether the ending is a happy one or not. Sato is unlikely to harm or even threaten Shouko. As far as people who aren't Shio go it seems like Shouko would rank basically the highest on Sato's scale of personal value. I think the most likely outcome is Shouko not going to the police or anything but becoming worried about Sato and her actions and inadvertently causing drama when she ends up leading Asahi to Sato and Shio.

Edit: Actually Shio's attitude towards Sato is probably going to be enough to make Shouko worry less, at least about Sato doing anything wrong. She'll probably still worry about Sato technically doing something illegal (kidnapping) as well as wanting to get the full story behind what's going on.

Angelic Girl, chapter 2. But re-read the whole thing anyway because it's great.

Ah yeah, that's the one. I'll have to reread that one some time soon. It's been long enough that I totally forgot what it was even about, lol.

I think Morishima Akiko put it best:

Which one is that from? I remember reading it but I can't think of the name.

Star Light posted:

There is a manga which characters already kissed each other and still marked as sub-text meanwhile this manga just have 1 and only 1 chapter and it already marked as yuri. Are all the moderation crazy already!

Or the people in charge of tagging are already aware of what's to come in this one. Which seems to be the case judging by earlier comments.

You sick fucks....

Anyone who claims not to be a sick fuck is lying to either themselves or everyone around them.

Apparently something like this where the one doing the hurting doesn't enjoy it at all bothers me more than one where they do, lol. (Though that's not saying much since those ones don't really bother me at all to begin with.)

If we're going purely for ones that people tend to overlook then I'd have to go with Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-blossom Pink by Morinaga Milk. Tends to understandably get overshadowed by Girl Friends but it's still one of my favorites. Outside of those I'd have to go with Chatting At the Amber Teahouse or Pure Water Adolescence though.

Hi I'm trying to find an author. No idea how many stories he/she published but iirr the bulk of it was laid-back conversations between two high school girls. The one detail I remember is: while chilling in her friend's room one of the girl says that she's afraid of death because then they couldn't ever see each other anymore. The other girl takes a second to think about it and gets really scared at the idea. Also in one of the stories one of the girl might have been a programmer or at least very good with computers...

I forget which chapter it is that you're thinking of, the end of the first or second I believe, but that should be what you're thinking of.

I wonder if her personality has changed since the accident?

She used to be the 'top' but we learned Arisa first kissed Mari when she was drunk - so maybe she was the same as she is now - she just needs to get over that first time, and then her natural enthusiasm will kick in and she will be taking the lead all the time again.

Not so much that she is a dominant sort - she might be quite shy - just she is very enthusiastic. OR maybe before the accident she WAS a lot more dominant and confident and less shy? I know brain damage can totally alter your personality.

It hasn't been spelled right out yet but it's been pretty clearly hinted that the differences between then and now is entirely a matter of experience. Most notably that she's now lacking three years worth of experience that she previously had. Not a difference of personality at all.

I'm trying to find this one HomuMado doujin where Madoka's love makes Homura so powerful that she defeats Walpurgisnacht single-handed. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Is this the one you're thinking of?

Nezchan posted:

Personally, I think the blackmail thing really didn't serve much purpose to the plot and could easily have been dropped without hurting the story at all.

I thought it was the worst part of the story myself. It didn't add anything at all to it but it, in my opinion, detracted from the story. Even the epilogue was better and that was a hugely confusing mess.

There were three series that led me to reading "yuri" manga: Girlfriends, Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto. The literary quality of all three was just stunning. Later I found Octave and Watashi Sekai O... and some of Hakamada's and Jin's stuff and I decided this genre had the best writing I'd seen in ages.

Girl Friends is actually the manga that made me realize there was a lot more to this genre than just shitty story-less hentai.

And personally I think the complaints about cliched things in her works is kinda strange. It's always been cliched. And it being cliched doesn't make it bad. It's a cliche used badly that makes it bad. It being a cliche in the first place just means that it was used frequently enough to become commonplace in the genre, nothing more and nothing less than that. Morinaga Milk tends to use those cliched tropes pretty well though.

Nevri posted:

I don't mind it, but not when it takes entire story and then once it is finally solved, the series ends.

This reminds me of what's probably my biggest complaint with the genre. There's very few mangas like Girl Friends. There's plenty that deal with everything leading up to a relationship and there's plenty dealing with everything after that point but there's surprisingly few stories that have both. This is unfortunately true even with a lot of my favorites in the genre.

Man, and I thought I was old! (I'll be 28 this year). Such a horrible feeling approaching the age of 30 without having achieved anything...

Seems to be fairly unique to this site in my experience. I'll be turning 29 myself and on the other sites I frequent I tend to be around 5-6 years older than the average user generally, if not a bit more.

Ropponmatsu posted:

Guys... No one's forcing you to read it...

I can't speak for everyone but personally I've got someone holding a gun to my head forcing me to read every chapter. Then again I'm not one of the ones complaining about the developments anyways. Also thanks for translating.

Uh... do you not know the traditional view (not necessarily the current standard one for young people, but the one held by traditional families and older individuals) of homosexuality in Japanese society? This is a manga based in Japan, and made by an author who has been around the manga scene for at least a decade and is probably pretty decently aged. Homosexuality is normal in the US, but it's not anywhere near as widely accepted over there, even less so by Milk's generation.

It's not explicitly illegal, but it's not considered normal yet either. Japan isn't quite as progressive as most English speaking countries in that regard. So Hina's "I'm normal" is perfectly placed and is most likely a self protection mechanism because of the setting in which she lives and also likely because of Maiko's actions in their past that obviously has more to it than either of them were letting on with Hana.

You're taking that part of my post much too literally. I mean I even flat out stated that it's probably not the case meaning I was talking from an idealistic standpoint.

Faust posted:

she lied lmao?
To not be judged?
"Oh god what if Hana thinks I'm weird, this is weird isn't it, I can't let her know"
Has no one seen this excuse/line before lmao, like "whaat?? Noo, I don't like girls, I'm not weird, I'm normal! Girls can't date girls!"

What the hell, don't suggest something logical. Also "I'm normal" could be (but probably isn't considering Hina's struggles with her sexuality) a statement meant to mislead people anyways since being gay shouldn't be considered abnormal.

How many chapters are there of these two?
