Not raw. The translation is out. Just sometimes Dynasty is slow to get it uploaded. So till then, we all get to use spoiler bars.

To be honest I only use this reader to check if there's something new in the gay-dar and even then Mangadex is usually much faster to pick them up. There's also the issue of series that the staff or uploaders here refuse to pick up.

This series heals my deep hatred for yuri tropes.

I can go on a little further.

STATUS QUO! NO DEVELOPMENT! LONG LIFE TO OBLIVION!

Pretty sure those last couple of pages say otherwise

This chapter was a major example of "go to square one".

I never did say that it couldn't happen, only that in my experience it doesn't very often. That being said, I'm always on the lookout for more decent reading material. I'd love it if you posted some of your favs, to prove me wrong and expose me for the sexist man-hating nazi that I am and all that.

Your experience seems to be very, very limited. It is extremely rare for men to do yuri. You can check a list of my favorites I've been forging through the ages right beside my post count.

Some male yuri authors included in that list:

  • Kishi Torajirou: Because Virgin's Empire is awesome. A huge, massive and awesome perv.
  • Ootomo Megane: A favorite of mine because we share a glasses fetish.
  • Higashiyama Shou: Prism, Stretch and Vampeerz. Mind you, this guy does loli hentai.
  • Suga Atsushi: Notes From The Garden Of Lilies.
  • TATSUBON: Because Tadokoro-san is great.
  • Nishio Yuhta: After Hours
  • Kurata Uso: Linkage
  • Isomoto Tsuyoshi: Girl's Ride
  • Heebee: Majyo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane
  • Yasuda Kousuke: Kusanagi-Sensei is Being Tested
  • Hattori Mitsuru: Concerto. (Another ecchi author)
  • Yoshitomi Akihito: Sisterism (My avatar is from that series)
  • Itou Ryou: Yamanko

Info taken from baka-updates not sure if accurate. I didn't know most of these were men. It is particularly surprising that Kurata Uso and Suga Atsushi are male. On the other hand I expected the authors from some ecchi series to be male and I was dead wrong.

More to the point, this is less about the quality of an author's work and more about the intent behind it. On what I've found to be a statistically rarer occasion that a woman writes a female character to be shallowly titillating and sexy, it is more often then not titillating and sexy as a woman would find it, which is personally more up my alley. Which, in turn, brings this back around to being a matter of personal opinion based upon my own experience.

Please elaborate about this intent thing. Because by your previous message and this one you're implying that men are tainting the genre just by writing and/or reading it.

Ad-hominem arguments are a bad look, nee-san. They erode your position by suggesting insecurity and an inability to properly defend your views.

No ad-hominem attack. You're a bigot, full stop. It is you who's putting down male authors just for being male. Just think how screwed up that would be if someone said that about female authors writing yaoi or anything not related to the kitchen and laundry. /s (I'm ashamed I actually had to put that)

as a lesbian I absolutely agree that I prefer the yuri I read to be written by women. there are straight men who can write good yuri (in fact my absolute favorite lesbian romance story was written by two men) but it's also a fact that a lot of men who write/draw yuri do so for a male target audience, and there's that other subgroup of men who write/read stories about lesbians for fetishistic reasons...
It just feels better to me to read yuri written by girls, for girls, or even better, by lesbians, for lesbians.

(and inversely, all these same situations can occur when straight women write/read yaoi, of course.)

So.

Let me get this straight (pun intended).

You prefer your yuri based on the author's name and you prefer a lesbian author because that fact alone makes it better for you. Because no one lies on the internet or this business.

Talk about twisted.

My favorite yuri manga was created by a man and a woman, Ebisu-san and Hotei-san but I couldn't care less. If anything, the only moment I look for the author's names is to look up more from them.

Maybe that's just sexist of me tho.

Yes.

Well defend your opinion, comrade! Convert me from my sexist ways!

Why, exactly, shouldn't I be inherently wary of lesbian romance / sexuality that is written by someone, who not only can have had no real-life experience with the matter, but who also might have cause to portray it in a shallow and unrealistic light for their own gratification?

I'd never mean to imply that ALL men write lesbians like this, only that many do and that I believe I have a fair cause to be on guard.

It is fiction for starters. There are good and bad authors and it doesn't have anything to do with their sex. I think you don't even comprehend how stupid it is to ask an author to have experience about what they are about to write/create. We wouldn't have superhero, sci-fi, pirate, medieval or any other media around.

Unless that superpower is bigotry. Then by your own theory you could make a superhero flick.

For the sake of argumentation please point out those portrayals and I will answer with ten times that amount done by women.

You can make Upload Request even if you're not part of the staff, everyone can!
I'm enjoying this series a lot in MD, is like sakura trick without the BS

I recently did a request for Ikemen and it was totally ignored. I did a few more in the past with the same result.

I'm not wasting my time anymore on that.

Just because you request it doesn't mean it'll be added. Staff will always go first and ask scanlator(s) for permission, which might be the reason some stuff isn't uploaded. Also sometimes there might be other issue before uploading something.

You'd have a fantastic politician career.

Or customer service.

There are quite a lot of people on this forum thinking that a 15 y/o should be as wrecked and scornful as themselves.

So it is released monthly and it goes 1:1 with the web comic version.

There are 36 chapters out so it would take 3 fucking years to catch up with the web comic version.

See you then.
