^I see.

Can this post get a "Mako x Yuka" tag and a "Yuu x Yuka" one?

Done.

Is it possible for us to hide/blur cover images/thumbnails for nsfw content? The "Most Popular" section seems to bypass one's blacklist.

I'm afraid not. As far as thumbnails are concerned, I'll think about standardizing non-NSFW thumbnails for manga releases. I know it's a concern for many. However, it's not something that can be implemented for images anytime soon. To avoid all thumbnails, you may use the Recently Added page instead.

Also, I'm not sure what to call it, but it would be nice if we had a separate tag for age gaps between adults (someone in their 20's and someone in their 30's for example) and between adults and teens. I don't mind the former, but I want to blacklist the latter.

My "common sense" says that the subjects of the relationship ought to be obvious based upon other tags (like School girl or School life). Though, I now realise this isn't helpful at all for the blacklist feature, which is very important for many in their daily use. I'll think about it, thanks for the suggestion.

I can't believe all the fonts were changed. This is utter madness, I tell you.

Moderator Note

Going to add spoiler tags to LN comments made prior to this post. If you insist on posting about the LN, use spoiler tags. From here on, comments with little relevance to the manga posted thus far may be removed indiscriminately.

As an aside, regardless of one's views, it'd be best to not take this manga or other comments here too personally. Everyone here is here to have a good time. Thank you.

With the previous posts already made, I'd much prefer if we kept the topic on the subject of the manga rather than the LN. Spoiler potential aside, this tends to splinter discussion and drive speculative meta commentary that doesn't really achieve much. Thank you.

They gotta remove the What the fuck am I reading tag, it gives people the wrong idea. Is not like this manga is senseless or a parody or something like that, it has a proper storyline and a very good and original plot and development. If they just remove it a lot more people in the site will start to read it

Noted. (Though, I'm not convinced that particular tag does as much work as the first few chapters did.)

I think we need to consider if this gets licensed

A sobering thing to contemplate.

It's Comic Yuri Hime, so it'll probably happen, anyway, but I doubt it'll affect Dynasty much since Citrus and most of the other Comic Yuri Hime works are also on here despite being licensed. The Licensors are almost always behind so it always gives scanlators an avenue to keep pumping out releases, too

Given that licensers are now removing entirely innocuous Itou Hachi oneshots from anthologies, I'd be pretty shaken if this actually got licensed.

I was so excited to read the meme LN, and then I totally forgot. Thanks, SAD.

Aww, this is cute. I read it every year or so. I remember reading a long time ago that people often carry a torch for a past lover or crush, whether be from high school into college, or college into adulthood. Those folks will probably never forget the person who was special to them. I think this oneshot captures that idea really nicely.

One detail that separates this from similar works is that Nakayama actually gets a GF in the future. She might be stuck, and her heart might still be confused, but she's moving forward, too. Not only does this make the story more realistic, it adds a layer of complexity beyond "haha lesbians sad." Great stuff.

I gotta ask but why hasn’t Dynasty uploaded Mikanuji other HinaxSayo works? They are already translated.

I'm not sure, I'll look into it.

Minutoh posted:

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but I think it's pretty funny that Teren Mikami is apparently working on three LNs and then three manga adaptations of those LNs that pretty much share the same premise at the same time. The premises of this story, Watanare, and If You Could See Love seem to boil down to "I want to be friends with this girl, but she just wants to fuck me!" I'd say they're just different enough to keep them interesting, but the fact that Mikami's doing all this simultaneously is pretty interesitng.

Some us are one-note and just totally go for it. I respect that.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, we'll continue uploading this series with the upcoming /a/ & /u/ collab. (Special thank you to Urbs for doing us some justice on this)

That was two years ago...

TotemsInTheNight posted:

Those are hurtful words to someone who's on mtf HRT. But anyway, I'm trying to reread without an assumption of romance between the two characters, and well the author's intention actually makes more sense. That also means the first couple of chapters are kinda too blushy-subtext. The story is widely advertised as LGBTQ+ (I was recommended from BIY) so I got the wrong assumptions from the start.

Good luck. As has been said better by others in this thread, it was never advertised as explicitly LGBTQ+ by the original artist or in its (Japanese) volume 1 marketing materials. Sadly it does seem to have gotten all mixed up - for any number of reasons - so those people who got the wrong impression are hardly at fault for not knowing any differently.

There are definitely some unfortunate tonal problems as the story transitions from light-hearted blushing to intense drama. Not the least of which is Koyuki being a 24/7 blush mess for three and a half volumes, only to seemingly lose that part of her identity for 95% of the story afterwards. Personally still, I find it a bit difficult to not consider romance with more than a half-a-dozen multi-page sequences of the two leads sharing wistful looks and achingly tender touches. That's just me though.

This may have been suggested already, but here goes. A way to bookmark which chapter you're on for a series. If it alrwady exist, please tell me how do

There's a userscript (mark read) that does this, assuming you read on the same device/browser at all times. Otherwise, I'm with you on the suggestion.

juanelric posted:

Should we be tagging something like this as watamote and Jojo's? (There are similar untagged instances with Sakura Trick, Azumanga Daioh, and more.)

I still don't have an answer for you, sorry.

Also, can this post get a "Ritsuko x Everyone" tag?
https://dynasty-scans.com/images/123

Done.

Also, are there artists who aren't allowed in the site or something? Because I noticed some artists never get posted.
I do know Radiostarkiller asked for their art not to be posted, but what about Qosic and Hews Hack?

In general, if an artist doesn't want their art here, it won't be posted here. Otherwise I don't deal with the Images section, so I can't really speak to any specifics. Certainly it's possible that drpepperfan just doesn't like their art, subject, etc. even if they wouldn't mind.

Hmm. It's nice how you never quite know what you're getting with old stories...

I'm looking for a fairly well known series but totally forgot its name- I think it may no longer be on the reader but hopefully someone knows the name.

Its a highschool girl yuri about a first year and her senpai- they first met when the younger girl visited the school to check it out- she enrolled because she liked this senpai who showed her around. senpai has a bit of a trauma from a senpai SHE used to love who blew her off a year ago and since graduated- senpai's younger half sister is also in love with her, but she ends up dating a new teacher at the school who rides a motorbike.

Im guessing it's not in my lists because it got removed upon licencing?

Is it First Love Sisters? I don't remember this series but that's what my brain was drawn to, and there's definitely motorbikes involved...

I cant recall if The mc is a student but she always rides the train everyday and there are always two women in front of her that she immediately assume that its a couple...she eventually gets to talk to them afterwards and got interested on the other one.....one day the other woman just rides the train alone which take some curiosity on the mc because she thought they are a couple because she saw them kissing but the woman just told her that other woman has a boyfriend...i cant recall much but i cant find it....

Thanks in advance

Probably A Girl in Ultramarine, I think.

We're doing some re-tooling in the back-end today, please let us know of any significant performance impacts. (I'll respond to the above later today as well)

glad1983 posted:

The further down the line, the less Cheating tag put on the whole story feels appropriate. At this point, Cheating is present, looking quite generously, in chapters 7-11. 4-11 if we really stretch it to the absolute limits.

Just a pet peeve, because it always puts me off, before I remember what it is.

Talk about some bad timing on our part. I'll definitely be reconsidering this tagging in the near future, especially given that the series doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon?

I really love Arata Iri's humour and chaotic storytelling...I'm not sure if it's due to the drama focus or something else, but this chapter - and possibly the previous 2 - was just really weird. Character motivations and identities just don't seem to...make a lot of sense? I'm super lost, what is even happening anymore?

Sure Orange, my bad for calling garbage garbage. I like your username btw.

Thanks. I'll hold you to it.

I really wish authors would quit it with these garbage story settings, I am so fucking tired of this "my father wants me to marry soon" setting, it just really pisses me off and leaves a horrible taste. I don't care if it ends with a happy ending, authors need to fuck off with this setting.

Historical setting. Things used to be this way a few centuries ago, but some countries/traditional families still do this.

Yeah, it's still garbage. The author could have gone with any other setting but no, they had to pick this garbage

Stop commenting like this. Final warning.

Honestly just fuck off if you don't have anything except this toxic dribble to say.

True as it may be, this is also not constructive. Probably best to just ignore.

There's a third part ... I feel like my mind exploded, like those panels with the universe in the background ...that's how I feel with this revelation.

And of course it didn't disappoint, they did it on the office, on the way back and A LOT in the hotel, this ... this is peak culture.

OMG If they don't start dating for real after this I'm gonna... !!!! >:( ......... cry most likely lol

I'm always waiting for your comment, lol. We already have some new material. Hope to release a new chapter soon! I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Pretty sad we don't have a roleplay tag.

Loving that new avi.

It's a cute, sweet story. Something about the historical gay girl with a gay guy friend really hits the spot for me.

Lilliwyt posted:

New pfp after the latest chapter of Watamote Minami is still best girl and have a great redemption arc

It just feels wrong to not have your old avi...I dunno. It just feels all wrong.

I finished a full reread in the last ~10 days. It's really good, you can tell that it's all pre-planned and doesn't rely on the serial format at all, which is always refreshing. The flow and continuity is also impeccable, though it had some real trouble maintaining any consistent tone. There's a ton more one could say, but I don't think I want to. I hope Hagino goes back to her old art style someday. I wish Konatsu had chased after her, even though I know that's totally undercutting the (relatively little) development she got. Koyuki only said "Holy moly" 7 times. Kaede is best girl. Think that sums up most of it.

I recall there being an earlier discussion after one of her streams regarding an anime adaptation. She had clarified that she was drawing the manga the way that she wanted it to be drawn, and if she had changed some aspects (I'm assuming either making it explicit Yuri, or making one of the main characters male) then maybe it would have been more popular. She has reiterated more than once that she has been able to draw her thoughts exactly from start to finish, so while some of the other theories on this thread may have some substance, the thought that her creative process was somehow stifled in any way contradicts statements made by the author herself.

I think the coolest thing about her intentions is that even if she drew the manga depicting the relationship that she wanted, she gave the reader the ability to interpret the story in many ways, even if none of them were explicit. Maybe she wanted us readers to be able to relate to the main characters as much as she made them to relate to herself.

Yeah, that discussion is right back here.

That is a very good point. By leaving so much of the manga itself down to subtext, she's opening the story and its circumstances to almost infinite interpretations from outsiders. I really appreciated that, too. I believe I could make a convincing case that Nettaigyo is meant to be queer-coded by appealing to the Bonus chapter, the realities of publishing, and even the specific point in the story where the blushy subtext died down. I believe the opposite case could also be very plausibly made. Yet even though it's impossible to know any which way, I'm quite convinced the story would've been written the same way regardless of when, where, or how it was released. The ambiguity is just so powerful.
