I personally thought the notes and the coloring page was pretty neat, it's my first time seeing something like that. Is that a common thing in doujins, or nah?

I think that was Yuika just trying to jokingly fill up the page count, but the Yui on the notes page is hilarious, imho.

man if you like it that much you GOTTA watch the actual show, it's hella rad (as everyone in the thread is saying repeatedly. shirobako fans are symphogear-level passionate sometimes etc)

i feel like i should be more offended people are picking apart the script like this but actually i think it's a sign it was a great enough read people really want to analyse it

shirobako's shipping is more like-- "man these characters have a strong bond and you could definitely see them going out in the background and the show wouldn't make a big deal of it because that's not what it's about" ig? It's very non-baity in the traditional sense, more about "here's killer realistic interactions between people who fit together" which is nice!!

Yeah, there kinda is, apparently - but also the series ended up getting a sudden surge in sales this year, so they're reprinting it with a bunch more copies before moving onto vol 2, I think? There was something on Nishio's twitter about it last month.

yeah it's p rad! I hope the TL turns out alright. I'll probably be winding down my work on the series from now on, but enough prelim work has been done on chapter 7 that we might put it out anyway.

okay but Rin is like. 15. im pretty sure when we were 15 we fell for people for the dumbest reasons. the best uzurin is the stuff that focuses on this teenage sense of thirst and insecurity tbqh

yeah personally rin never really figures into my trans ll hcs, I am not the biggest fan of writing her like that for the above reasons

--look thing is i'd go the other way and want to read rin as dfab genderfluid if she's not cis????

shame people aren't enjoying this one as much as the kitamuratooru one. I thought it was super fun.

also Rin's wearing a skirt on the cover! What more do you guys need?! (also Rin in pants is good in general tbqh.)

i don't know about this love live! serie but a male who sounds "nyaa" is way too gay ._.
or do japanese males actually make that sound ???

jesus this might be the worst post on dynasty since 'too butch' on like. every level

Honestly I'm really happy so many people liked the doujin - this is one of my top LL doujins ever tbqh

I would love to see Trans Pana with Rin supporting her. That would be great. (Same with the reverse setup).

What would be cool is Rin, not having the slightest qualms about accepting Pana as a woman, uses her as her model of femininity as she explores being a little more girly but not wanting to give up on being the tomboy of the group.

Alas, I keep wanting things that absolutely nobody is writing.

that sounds SO good god damn aaahhhhhh

You should have a go at writing it yourself maybe!!

to be fair the only character who said she was currently fat was the girl who dumped her? Asshole Kase just said she was gonna get fat if she kept drinking frappuccinos which is. true.

Got to agree with the English posts here. These drama filled doujins seem really out of place for Symphogear, which is about camaraderie and chummy morals that help you do your best. It seems like TsubaMari fans prefer them though, so they may scan and translate as they please. It would be great to get more thematically appropriate ones with the characters behaving normally though.

look i'm not even really into tsubamari and maria is a human trainwreck who turns literally everything she touches into poo. drama fits her

(also symphogear doujins that aren't hibimiku where etc)

why is Maria so angsty, like seriously theres nothing wrong with lesbians, at least it's clear tsubasa has no problem with it, she's best friends with Hibiki and Miku who are gay as shit and Kirka and Shirabe who are also gay as can be and Maria knows both of them too >_< why angast for the sake of it

maria's actually canonically raised by a christian parent so that might legit lead into it?

Yes, all the idols are meant to show attraction to the producer to some extent in the games, and it is reflected in the anime. There is an alternative version of Miki known as Awakened Miki that is shown to be very romantic with the producer. Awakened Miki is the opposite of Hoshii Miki however, in that she is a very hard worker instead of being lazy.

Huh, I've always wondered how ingrained the het is in the series as a whole. Seems its presence is pretty prominent.
Oh well.

yeah its kinda... yeah....

The most recent anime, Cinderella Girls, completely dropped the het element for making the producer a father-like figure and emphasising the relationships between the girls instead, but it still is kinda there in the first anime, and the games are. yeah. pretty much otaku pandering service.

Oooh, the accent... just make a tl note next time, I have an easier time reading hick than this. It doesn't blend well with japanese specific speech either.

wrong it does and this is the effect you'd get if you were reading it in japanese so

Well, all of Hamada's comics have Shiki and Frederica together, before and after these ones (and originally these two weren't like, a series? They're just in the same folder) so I think it's a safe bet!

I think the suggestion is more fre not having slept on her own in a while, versus Shiki being gone?

the CG anime was pretty bomb tho??? it's why i cared enough about the franchise to start TLing from it (unlike LL, where the anime actively discrouraged me tee hee)
