Seeing Ch.13 now, it doesn't even feel like "axed", more like "suddenly hit by a japanese truck".

And good luck to Ropponmatsu on the unfortunate turn of events. By my calculations, about 60 people would have to chime in into ordering one 200 pages volume to get the price per person to usual 10$.

Yurimm Fairy Tales have been here for a long time and they are similarly 90% text. Also in a tiny resolution by modern standards.

This one is great and I look forward to reading the continuation.

Or one hour: episode 1 for general context, and episode 6 for Moose and Lion.

I absolutely do not endorse such a way of reading or watching anything.

I know next to nothing about the series on which it is based and yet I go out of my way to read about these two whenever I see them in the feed. LionxMoose forever!

Only 6 hours away from knowing more.

It’s not yaoi though?

Wouldn't be so sure if not for skirts they wear. Might be crossdressing yaoi, though.

If anime is anything like manga, it's gonna be less Glass Mask and more Love Live (stage edition).

Such a peculiar feeling over this chapter.
So many drama hooks dealt with in just 50 pages. Like, girl's mother start talking shit to her daughter in law? Nope, solved. Ex-girlfriend shows up in a moment of wife's uncertainty? Nope, solved. Wife considers leaving the "doomed" relationship? Nope, solved.

Bending coins is just a matter of strengths. Unbending them is so much more impressive. Torako is awesome!

It somehow reminds me of Ichigo Mashimaro, if Nobue had social anxiety instead of alcoholism.

Adding a note to this song:
I didn't have any difficulty in understanding what was said. So I'm OK with translator's choice on this matter.

But normally, they're soulless animated corpses. They have bad breath and they drink blood to stay alive. What's sexy about that? :)

There are many different kinds of vampires in folklore. From rotting corpses that drink blood in a very messy way alays killing it's prey, to those alive enough to leave half-breed children (as in they are more a race of magicals than undead).
Most current representations of vampires come from Dracula or Carmilla. They represent a godless existence, which by it's nature is repulsive but also devilishly seductive. Later the religious undertones were removed and we got to, say, Twilight, where mormon christian heroine sees nothing wrong in being turned into a vampire to preserve her love forever and vampires can enter the sanctity of marriage.
Of course, japanese literary tradition is even less influenced by christianity (or monotheism in general), so gothic vampires lost their unholy and disgusting characteristics even faster.

Good to see a translator who knows their japanese superheroes stuff. I wish translators for Action Heroine Cheer Fruits were as knowledgeable.

Nina's fanbase is going to change a lot. Since people who liked her cute image and OHKO style will get severely disappointed in her actual self - a sadistic berserker. Of course, there are fans of that too.

I was hoping Mikochi would get a haircut too.

This manga has enough "character development" already.

Two questions (rhetorical ones):
1. Did this manga kill off all men on the planet just to have a story about secret garden of maidens in a girls-only highschool?
2. Is it just how mangaka draws eyes, or it's 3 yanderes out of 4 girls introduced so far?

Such big tattoos on the back. Are they not a direct indication of yakuza involvement? I vaguely remember a oneshot here on Dynasty with a premise like that.

On the other hand, she has a western name, so maybe I'm overthinking things.

Torako's misadventure with track and field makes me wonder if she can do the same thing up the wall.

One more vote for Rotors. This one is the first time I've seen rotor vibrator called "bullet".

Oh, this is actually nice. Now, I can't catch all the references, but Minori's (pink) transformed state looks quite a bit like Madoka, while Kanoko's (red) have some resemblance to Mew Ichigo.
Who do you think Shiori's (blue), Riko's (green) and Chinami's (yellow) transformations are based on?

It it's a comet than it's not "facing away". Its tail is always pointing away from the sun, so that picture says nothing about where it's going.
