Anime when?

The series did come in 5th place in a recent ranking for ‘top manga series we want to see animated’ in japan

Only thing I can relate to here is being awake at 3:54 am because of unfinished work

Also I definitely got the feeling reading canon that Yuu and Sayaka were pretty compatible. They're really amicable for two people at odds in a love triangle, at least. Maybe I just have an active imagination.

I don’t think you’re imagining things, they do have a pretty good dynamic, I think precisely because neither of them has any reason to put up pretenses around the other. They can argue and have banter and be honest with each other in a way neither of them could do with Touko or their other friends.

I think it’s pretty telling in the third novel that the first person Sayaka brings Haru to meet is Yuu, and even Haru asked if they had history together lol.

Damn it I said 13 too, I’m a dumb dumb just like Ayaka.

Festival fun times aside ooooooooof I can’t believe she was interrupted with the boyfriend news while confessing ouch that’s gotta hurt

well that was quick

Oh god why did she lie about her age, well I get it but this is gonna turn into a legal nightmare on Tanaka’s end. And now I feel a lot less comfortable shipping them too

So was she protecting the MC or not? I'm still not sure if the "childhood friend" is evil or not....seems so far that the sea girl just outed her for no good reason.

Well the point of “outing her for no good reason” is because Shiori wants to alienate her from her friend who would otherwise have stood in the way of Shiori preparing Hinako to be eaten. If Miko is protecting Hinako then that’s just as much of a problem for our mermaid girl as if Miko was trying to eat her. Remember that Shiori is really really not doing this out of the kindness of her heart, and if anything she’s closer to the main antagonist.

It would be nice if Miko was protecting her, they end up as a couple, and fight off Shiori in my opinion.

Please feel free to chop off all her hair we don’t mind at alllllllll

What better way to get revenge against the crown prince than to steal his fiancee and then murder him?

This was such a solid one shot, it’s really held up despite more than a decade passing.

It’s never too late to start something new! Whether it’s a hobby or a relationship you’re never too old to try things out. I wish these two all the best, if Haru is willing to go and get her number I’m sure they could work something out.

Stunning art style… I hope this will get serialized, my heart kept this hanging.

Hate to break it to you but it looks like this is from 2011 lol.

Awwww she was finally honest!! That’s a big step

I think the reason superstar is getting delayed is because it’s licensed by nhk to aire there a day earlier than everywhere else, and nhk didn’t wanna risk lowering viewership by moving it to some late night slot to make way for olympic programming

Every day we get slightly closer to the checklist saying “be girlfriends” on it

What a shit head of a dude, he does look like a candle

Favourite moment was Relaire joining in with the Princes doing their Rei impression.

This, absolutely. :D

Relaire has had a lot of funny little background gags in the manga that never would have been possible in the LN

I’m sorry for your loss, feel free to take as much time as you need. Your mental health is more important than getting the series out on time.

Really nice to see Kurumi getting along with Ruri's parents so well. I'm interested to see if the author goes down a "traditional" romance path or tries something different, along the lines of "there are many ways to have a relationship", where they are part family, part friends, part lovers.

Taking Crescent Moon into consideration as well, it really seems like Usui Shio is very interested in the question of what defines a romantic relationship, as her characters seem to be constantly questioning and negotiating their position in the greyzone between friendship and romantic love. I really hope the eventual conclusions of both stories will be good, because in the end, they will sort of need to find a definition that works for them, but that also gives the reader a satisfying end to the story. Pull this off well and it becomes a truly great and thought-provoking story, but it can easily be confusing or feel half-baked too.

In a sense, "classic" romance would be much easier to write, so I'm both excited and a bit scared to see how this goes on. Fingers crossed that she'll continue to deliver quality work

So futaribeya but with actual sex scenes eventually?

In all seriousness I do think that it could go either way between traditional falling in love and the unlabeled grey zone, and I’d love it either way. (And no offense meant to futaribeya, I like that series a lot too).

Does this count an an age gap? I can’t tell their ages but motorcycle gal seems significantly older than our teenage runaway

Lesbian fight club

If Miku buys chocolate cake does that mean Kyouko has to do lewd things to miku so they both fulfill their agreement?

Aw what a cute couple

Good reaction images

You can really feel the passion for eromanga in this, as weird as that sounds. I totally agree that a lot of people (artists or consumers alike) just see the genre as “who can draw the sexiest sex scenes” plot be damned but I think a good artist can make a story where the plot and “plot” both complement each other, and make something better than the sum of it’s parts.

I think we’ve been seeing this more recently with a lot of good story driven eromanga like Asumi-chan or The Missing I

Well she’s crying now but since she seemed to get over Saonji relatively quickly I think she’ll be fine

Not super related, but you may also use the Scanlator: Indie tag (just type "indie" and the tag will pop up) to find comics released in English.

Yep! I’ve definitely used this tag for that purpose, especially with a lot of the images uploaded here.
