It would appear that FF has also been unofficially translated into Chinese with the title "怦然心情" (pēng rán xīn qíng).

Looks like FF is popular in many places. :3

 
Side notes:

I see this posted in two places.
Not sure which is the artist's primary site, so here are both of them:

The Chinese Weibo site should be his/her main site/account, but you need to log in. You can instead go to the Taiwanese version, which appears to be the same content but requires no login.

Okay, this thread has turned weird.

Agree.

Minor tangents may be fine, but please try to keep it somewhat on topic...

Or if a discussion about another topic gets enough "momentum", you can just create a new thread. (People don't seem to do this much in this forum, probably because most threads are automatically created from uploads, so people don't have the habit of creating threads.)

Just my two cents.

Aw man, now I want to ask Ssamba who would be on top. I'm hoping for Seol-a because that'd be super hot.

palakangorange:

Basing our answer to that fanart and to what Seol-a said about acting like a husband chasing his runaway wife . . .
Guess who got spanked afterwards. Oops, was that a stretch

Not necessarily a stretch given that No-rae kinda deserves it since she Ran away.

halmoni answers the most important question of life:

anonymous user on Tumblr asked:

Who would be the top/bottom in Seol-a X No-rae?

halmoni:

Oh god this is the hardest question I’ve had to answer yet.
I don’t think all relationships necessarily need to have a top/bottom. In fact, I imagine No-rae and Seola would switch roles from time to time. But personally, I think No-rae would top most of the time, just because it’s part of her personality. She’s really protective of Seol-a, so I can see how she might exert some dominance or possessiveness over her.
I feel like Seol-a would be a coy seductress, and No-rae would be the romantic, innocent/shy/easily flustered girl. Either of them could be on top or bottom. Seol-a on top would be pretty fucking hot though. But I don’t think No-rae would let that happen too often.
Idk recently Seolrae reminds me of a queen falling in love with her knight. The queen is clearly powerful and can exert dominance whenever she wants, but the knight would be too humble, and would rather be the one pleasuring her.

The Grandma Hath Spoken.

Side note:

halmoni, just an opinion:

With your new Tumblr theme, it's really hard to read the text, as it is minuscule. For example, see the above link.

Also, with the small width for the main content area, pictures in posts are shrunk to a very small size, such that you cannot see the details of the original picture very well. Occasionally, it would even "squish" images (resize without preserving the ratio).
e.g.
http://halmoniswag.tumblr.com/post/116131758572/no-rae-x-bat-is-my-new-otp
http://halmoniswag.tumblr.com/post/114917542582/seol-a-why-u-gotta-be-so-gay-what-really-happened
(Yes, I had to use those as examples.)

follower:

Of course it's nice to see a relationship unfold slowly, it's just that as readers you're more or less left dangling in the air for a week so it's understandable that people call it draggy, even if story-wise, it's not draggy at all (a draggy story would be Citrus, where saburouta keeps introducing unnecessary love rivals because she can't think of anything else). [...]

halmoni:

FF is gradual and "draggy", but every chapter has a purpose. We usually learn something new about the characters. I don't think Citrus is in the same boat; I'd say its story is more counterproductive than slow. It builds up, and then goes right back to square one. I dropped it after the two random ass sisters showed up, because at that point the love rival business was getting ridiculous, and I thought I was reading a completely different manga.

Granted, FF has love rivals as well, but they don't pop up out of nowhere to keep a dying story alive.

...

... ...

... ... ...

 
 

What if Fluttering Feelings... was written by Saburouta (author of Citrus)

Chapter 33

No-rae's mom and dad suddenly divorce. So do Seol-a's mom and dad. Turns out Seol-a's mom and No-rae's dad have been having an affair. They get hitched in a quick wedding. Baek Seol-a is now Kim Seol-a.

Seol-a and No-rae immediately move in together and sleep in the same room since they're now stepsiblings. (Makes total sense.)

That night, Seol-a finally confronts No-rae and tries to ask her what's been going on with her lately. To shut her up, No-rae does the only thing one would do in that situation -- No-rae surprise-kisses Seol-a. (I mean, what else was she going to do?)

Cliffhanger ending.

Chapter 34

The next day, Seol-a asks No-rae what that kiss was for. No-rae says it meant nothing. No-rae says to forget it ever happened. Seol-a is sad.

New female character Nam Hee-gyeong is introduced. Immediately starts running after No-rae. Seol-a feels threatened. When she gets No-rae alone, Seol-a surprise-kisses No-rae.

Cliffhanger ending.

Chapter 35

Seol-a decides she'll just be a good stepsibling and stop going after No-rae's affections.

Insert here random stuff of no consequence.

No-rae surprise-kisses Seol-a.

Cliffhanger ending.

Chapter 36

The next day, No-rae says sisters should not do such things. No-rae says to forget it ever happened. Seol-a is sad.

New female character Hwang Min-jin is introduced. Immediately starts running after Seol-a. Blackmails No-rae to go do something, but nothing of consequence ever happens. Plan gets foiled.

Seol-a and No-rae kiss for no particular reason.

Cliffhanger ending.

Chapter 37

New female characters are introduced: triplets Hana, Dul, Set. (Fuck it.) Hana immediately falls in love with No-rae. But Dul loves Hana. And Set loves Dul. And also Hana. And also Seol-a.

Hana confesses to No-rae after knowing her for about 20 minutes. No-rae accepts. Seol-a is sad.

Cliffhanger ending.

Chapter 38

Rinse and repeat ad nauseam.

YamaChan:

Earlier on, you would have never thought No-rae would be the first one to realize she's in love with Seol-a, but unlike Seol-a, No-rae actually has been in a serious committed relationship and she isn't nearly as slow on the uptake, when it comes to understanding her heart.

I think the story has developed the nuances of their relationship and individual characteristics perfectly, and if you think otherwise, re-read it. Their romance is so much more believable and engrossing than just about any other yuri/girls love story I've ever read.

(emphasis mine)

Agree.

I like the "role reversal" of sorts between Seol-a and No-rae.

That is, at the beginning, we are shown that Seol-a is apparently this incredibly sophisticated and mature person, who has also been in many relationships. No-rae on the other hand is shown to be a sorta ditzy girl with a bubbly, almost childish personality and who does not take things too seriously.

As mentioned in the quote, you would've definitely thought that Seol-a would be the one who comes to understand her feelings, and No-rae would've been the clueless one. Turns out, exact opposite.

 
On a more general note, I really like how the characters have turned out to be multidimensional people, who have different, sometimes even unexpected sides to them.

(... You know, like real people?)

 
I'll re-post this thing that I found (previous post), which I think is really neat:

The many sides of Baek Seol-a
part 1, appeared perfection
part 2, impulsive and immature
part 3, innocent and cute
part 4, flirtatious
part 5, cool and sophisticated
 
The many sides of Kim No-rae
part 1, natural beauty
part 2, expressive
part 3, playful
part 4, protective
part 5, non-judgemental and loyal
part 6, caring

For quotes, it'd be nice if it put the name of the poster of the quote at the top.

Something like this:

username:

Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

I feel that this way, it provides better context.

And also, for the original poster, the text of their username may make it easier to spot that someone has responded to their post.

Suppose you go to the post history of a user.
e.g. http://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts?user_id=2
For a given post, you want to open the thread of that post to see the context.
You click on the thread subject at the top of the post.

Ideally, it should bring you to the page of the thread that the post is on.

Right now, it brings you to the first page of the thread.

Lara 77:

OriginalGengar:

Soel-a

It's Seol-a.

Remember kids, it's O before E... except in Korean names.

 
OriginalGengar:

But yeah, I doubt No-rae is gonna go from denying her feelings to straight up confessing just because her brother talked about paths for a bit. It's not gonna happen in her home town, at least. I think she's going to come to terms with her feelings and slowly get used to them over time until she realizes that she actually has a chance with [Seol-a] or until [Seol-a] realizes her own feelings.
One of the best points about Fluttering Feelings is the slow and natural romance so I'm sure Ssamba is gonna make the best out of it.

Not saying I wouldn't be happy about a confession in the next chapter, though.

B-b-but... how can it be yuri without (to quote moonfrost13 once again) "shouted confessions, bursting into tears, sudden kisses"?!!

Unpossible!!1

Question for OrangePekoe (the uploader):

Why is the "Chuseok Special" special chapter uploaded in the images section?
It's not really "just an image".

Why is it not uploaded as a chapter in the chapters section?
If it were, it would technically be chapter 5.5, as it was released between chapters 5 and 6.
(I see this convention of special chapters being numbered .5 in other series.)

Alice Cheshire:

The sleazy ad deal and atrocious image quality on those two sites (which were the only ones I actually knew about at the time) are the entire reason that before I discovered Dynasty I simply avoided manga reader sites altogether. The only ones that don't seem to suck in some form are Dynasty and scanlation group specific ones. I'd say Dynasty is the best even ignoring the fact it has a bigger selection than any single scanlation group's reader though. The reader itself functions a lot better in general. Others just tend to put each page in full size and clicking takes you to the next page whereas Dynasty can resize the images or display them full sized and allows you to go back a page as well as forward to the next.

Ah yeah, I did forget to mention the quality of the reader itself as another reason to read it here.

You've got quick jump on the left (unlike a dropdown like on most other sites, which requires click, scroll, click), a quick resize toggle and even keyboard shortcuts for navigation. Plus the "click on left half"/"click on right half" to go to previous/next page makes so much sense that honestly, all readers should work that way.

Thiaguinho-sama:

[...] though Kissmanga have an advantage compared to others, you can open all pages together so you don't need to click in anything, just go down as you read them.

Yeah, actually, that is a nice feature. I actually wished Dynasty had this option, especially for a webtoon like FF. Korean webtoons normally don't have "pages"; a chapter would be displayed on a single continuous page.

The nice effect it has is that while you're reading, you just keep scrolling and scrolling downward. You don't have to think about changing the page once you've reached the bottom of the page. It's not a huge deal to have to change the page, of course, but a continuous page does make the experience even more seamless.

And if you think about it, the concept of "pages" only makes sense when you consider that manga is originally printed, so of course they would be on pages. But for something that originates from the Web, such as webtoons, it does not make that much sense to have the real world constraint of "pages", since webpages are supposed to favor scrolling over paging.

 
Maybe we should move this discussion elsewhere? (If this discussion is continuing, that is.) Maybe the "Suggestions for Improvement" thread or a new thread?

mazuus:

I wonder why its only ch6 here, other web already reach ch31

SaxonSun:

Versions on here are cleaner and more well done. Yuri Project is currently going back through all the chapters and releasing them again as more finalized scanlations.

Yep.

 
Here's what happened for the chapters that are not yet on Dynasty.

As the chapters came out, halmoni had done quick text translations of them, then Quick Cook Oatmeal (QCO) did roughs (rough typesets) for them and uploaded them to her Google Drive. QCO did the roughs for chapters 1-28.

(halmoni and QCO are part of the FF team on Yuri Project and before that, on /u/. There may also have been other people doing quick translations before halmoni started doing them.)

They made these roughs so that we can read the translated versions as soon as possible, before the final revised quality-checked versions come out, which may take a while.

Now, what "other web sites" such as MangaFox and MangaHere did is that they literally took those roughs and uploaded them as is.

I just checked for a more recent chapter, chapter 30. MangaFox just took the rough that somebody on /u/ named Cold made and uploaded it as is. As for MangaHere, they either did their own typesetting or got it from yet another source.

Now, yes, this is the Internet, and "information is free" and all that. But sites like MangaFox and MangaHere have ads. Not a few ads; loads of them. At least 4-5 a page. So scavenging for these roughs (made by random volunteers totally for free out of goodwill), uploading to their sites, then slapping ads all over them, hence monetizing them... well, you be the judge.

And even ignoring the whole "moral"/"ethical" aspect of it (because, once again, Internet), those sites don't really seem to care about quality. The roughs are exactly what they are: rough. The images themselves are not of the best quality. (In fact, the team on YP is in fact in the process of redoing all the chapters will high-quality cleaned raws.) The translations are preliminary; they haven't yet been quality-checked and revised. But what are the chances that those sites will update the chapters once final better versions come out?

btw, thank you anon for always posting the fanart!! I don't follow tumblr, so it's nice to get updates when they show up. :))

No prob.

Other than for FF, I don't use Tumblr. In fact, I don't really like Tumblr, especially how the site works (reblogging, so on) and how some blogs use layouts/themes that are incomprehensible.

But it's the place with the most fan content for FF, as far as I can tell. (Do a Google search for "fluttering feelings".) Maybe there's another place, but if there is, I am not aware of it. I would especially want to find a place where the Korean FF fans post their stuff. I mean, FF is #1 on Comico, so I would assume there are quite a lot Korean FF fans out there.

I pretty much only visit this URL on Tumblr:
https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/fluttering-feelings

By the way, you have to be logged in if you want to properly see the latest content.

When you're logged in, that URL will show you the latest posts tagged with #fluttering-feelings, sorted with the most recent posts at the top.

But when you're logged out, that URL will show you a completely different page; sort of like a mosaic view of images/posts, but it won't necessarily be the latest posts. (*shrug* Tumblr)

From chapter 32:

No-rae:
Who was the one that said, "Don't go down something that isn't a path"?
Oppa:
It's without a doubt an old saying from the East. But why?
No-rae:
Then whether it's a path...or not a path, how would you know?
Oppa:
What?
No-rae:
How would you be able to distinguish between the two?
Oppa:
I wonder...
No-rae:
The path most traveled is probably the right one...
Oppa:
That's not always the case. The path most traveled would obviously be the one people are most familiar with, so it's the path that feels comfortable and safe.
But there also pioneers who create completely new paths, right?
No-rae:
How do you know what's right? Which do you think would be right?
Oppa:
.....
That isn't something where you can easily separate what's right from wrong.
It's whatever you decide on. A decision that you completely throw yourself into.
No matter what the results are, it's all about having no regrets.
That's what it means to make a meaningful decision.
No-rae:
......
(small text) Mm...
Oppa:
Asking such straightforward questions... Perhaps there's something she wants to confirm...
(small text) It's like she's saying "That answer is so 'you'"...

I like this man. :3

Spoiler warning! My comic does NOT contain any spoilers (just wish fulfillment) but, what I'm about to say pertains to chapters 29-31. So don't read any further if you haven't gotten to those chapters yet.

This short comic takes place after No-rae has realized her romantic feelings. Although she's avoiding Seol-a, her thoughts can't help drifting back to the woman she loves (thus, the title: "Out of sight, not out of mind..."). I wanted to show No-rae having an embarrassing moment of weakness. :P

As far as how No-rae got a candid photo of Seol-a during their MT together, I'll let you form your own headcanon about that. haha.

I really love how these characters have all these different sides to them.

All too often in manga (not limited to just the yuri variety), characters are fairly one-dimensional. Sometimes to the point of caricature or self-parody.
