Am I the only one rooting for Ren and Nanase to get it on?

Never heard of a love square, before. I have heard of a Parallelogram of Love, though

I think we need to consider if this gets licensed

A sobering thing to contemplate.

It's Comic Yuri Hime, so it'll probably happen, anyway, but I doubt it'll affect Dynasty much since Citrus and most of the other Comic Yuri Hime works are also on here despite being licensed. The Licensors are almost always behind so it always gives scanlators an avenue to keep pumping out releases, too

They'd need a credit card, but in manga world, everything is possible.

Nah, they coulda used a Debit Card. Some Debit Cards like the Visa Debit Card can work on sites that only accept Credit, too. Ik this from personal experience as someone who used to use my Debit Card a lot, back in High School

Hey, what's the translation for this series name?

the official "translation" is something i like your filthy but u can basically change it to "the filthy you is the cutest" or similar.

So, basically, "The Filthier your are, the Cuter you are" or "You're so cute when you're filthy", I'm guessing? (Any Translators and/or peeps who know Japanese, feel free to correct me)

Curiosity is really killing this cat (me). Like these girls are like 14 they need to calm down. where did you even buy that vibrator, Hina???

They're actually 16 or 17 but I digress. They probably got it off online purchases

Her last work that got translated was a long time ago and I really loved her works did she stop? What happened to her?

She joined Irodori and now they're releasing nearly all of her work officially. However, Irodori is notorious for being scumbags with questionable quality in their translations and they are also very DMCA happy so scanlation groups tend to steer clear of artists associated with them.

Not entirely true. Mira's only got some of her stuff with Irodori (mostly just one-shots and doujins). A good portion of her works, including her series, have been licensed by FutureComics (Renta!) and Fakku. However, that being said, Irodori have been nuking everything Mira related, including the stuff that they don't own and that Fakku and Renta own.

Who's MrEngenious?

If only there was a sweating tag, too

in (male author written) hentai,

Well its not like female authors are just kiss and hugs.

Right, I've seen some crazy stuff written by women.

People don't seem to remember that Mira (I guess female author based on the art style) is particularly rapey.

Yes, Mira is not just a woman but she also allegedly has a Husband

@FluffyCow Isn't this more explicit than really most Citrus Fanart, in general?

I dunno; if the popular theory that Asuka's Mari's mother is true, you're gonna be entering into Taiyaki Territory, lmao

Lily Love's author also came here a few times If I remember correctly

Ayo, hit me up with some examples

What do you mean Subtext. Look at them! They fuckin'

Mangaka came in and confirmed that she prefers the story not be Yuri just so it can focus on the Family Aspect

I don't know it felt so unrealistic from start to bottom. I'm not even talking about the sex.

It does make a little more sense, once you read the Prequel (Eli being horny and obsessed with Nozomi is a result of how they had sex for the first and last time), but yeah, most of the stuff from Eli and Nozomi magically finding each other and immediately bangin' is unrealistic, but that's just the kinda stuff you get, with porn/smut.

Surprised this one didn't get hit with the Defloration Tag considering the sister got deflowered and the blood ended up on her back due to it being on the other sister's fingers

The Sequel to this one is on Dynasty, now

I just realised that this piece is a Sequel to Machiarita Lonely, the Mangaka's previous NozoEli piece. Sequel Tag is probably needed

I don't think it's that they become more attractive when they slick back their hair and take off their glasses, per se. It's moreso that a girl who was already attractive ends up looking cooler and more laid back as opposed to the plainer nerdier look, prior, which I suppose gives her the feel of being more attractive when she was always this attractive but was just hiding it with plain-fashion. This is actually the case in Hori-Miya where the main guy isn't even a Plain Nerd or anything and is actually an attractive delinquent who dresses plainly to divert attention from himself. Like, even the aforementioned Useless Princess had this case where the main girl was already quoted as being attractive but her becoming more fashionable made her actually stand out as being attractive, by bringing more attention to that aspect. The Second SonoHana game had this, too, where Kaede was quoted as probably being more beautiful than Sara, an actual Fashion Model, but she dresses so plainly bc she's an introvert that hates attention. It's a trope associated, in many ways, with people who are introverts becoming more extroverted, really.

I should mention the Kiss Hina gave Nao was implied to have been Familial, being a callback to how she kisses her family members. So, although this is just subtext a Yuri Author put in to sprinkle their work, it does play into that theme of familial love

Yeah I understand this as well. The affection shown is set up as the type of physical affection she shows for her family, and the familial contact the other girl longed for. So I understand why the friends angle is what the author was aiming for. Still interesting how it's easy to perceive this Yuri without the author's afterword.

Edit:

Yeah, that kiss can easily be read as Yuri but remember that Hina kisses her family members, too, so the scene was tryna implicate how Nao is her family

Ah I was probably typing this last comment of mine when you were submitting this, so I didn't see it until after submitting my own comment. I agree with you, and understand that's the built up narrative the author was aiming for, it's smart in my opinion even if I'd like them to be involved romantically.

The Mangaka is a Yuri Author, after all, so you could argue it's either habitual or there to help spice up the story through cute undertones

For the purposes of Dynasty-Scans, subtext refers to works where characters are close enough to each other and act in a way that they could be in love with each other, but no defining event happens that outright confirms it. The Love Live anime and a lot of animes where the main cast is made up of females that have no male love interests are a good example.

To be fair to LoveLive, the creator is literally the mangaka of Strawberry Panic, the Famous Classic Yuri Manga, so the Subtext is there, probably habitually or just as a teaser from a Yuri Author (not to mention how Eli and Nozomi even have a canon song where they’re literally singing ab getting married and making love)

Amazing! The Mangaka responded to me asking her if the two girls end up together or stay as family!

That being said, this calls into question whether the Yuri Tag should still be on here or if it should be replaced with the Subtext Tag or removed altogether

Interesting, thanks for the info! While I'd love this to be Yuri, the tag should probably be removed to respect the author's wishes. Plus I mean friendship is great as well. Though I am a little surprised, since with the kiss and the handholding at the end, I thought it was implied that they were going to develop into more than friends, especially with the mom teasing them about it. I guess sometimes it's hard to understand the author's intentions just from reading a story, especially since interpretation will vary between different readers. That's why I personally prefer it when author's say, "I'll leave it up to your imagination" as a response for such questions, but I also understand why authors want to have a clear cut narrative.

Yeah, that kiss can easily be read as Yuri but remember that Hina kisses her family members, too, so the scene was tryna implicate how Nao is her family

I wish I didn’t read this TT - TT I’ll respect the authors decision but awwwwwwww I really thought they were going to be romantically together

Another way of thinking of it is that the story is trying to focus more on the aspect of family, rather than romance. The Mangaka's intention was probably that the two girls are best left as family because that's what brought them together, in the first place, and that bringing a more romantic touch to it might slightly offset that familial idea.

Whaa!? Lewd hand holding and a supposed SHARED kiss, gotta be yuri

My guy, she's not straight. Marika is gayer than the sun is hot. She's just in the closet and has too much pride to admit otherwise because admitting she was wrong would be a blow to her ego.

From what I understand it seems like she was doing these things for the sake of money, and an "easy win", but it's entirely possible I missed something.

Well, she certainly hadn't considered she might be swinging this way before all this, but her reactions every time Aya gets closer to her clearly show she's already falling for her even without the need of Aya's "education".

Yeah I suppose that's true. I mainly thought the author intended her reactions and inner thoughts to be due to Aya's "education", and pushiness. So that's why I thought the author was really pushing for a conversation angle, and it rubbed me the wrong way. Again though, maybe I misinterpreted the author's intent.

There's also the fact that the LN does nothing but keep showing her constantly thinking and feeling gay things but then constantly denying she's actually gay because of her obsession with normality and upholding the pride she has that's keeping her from admitting she's been resisting for nothing, cuz that would be a massive blow to her ego

The first chapter, I was thinking this would be more of a silly and absurd take on the "I bet I can make you fall in love with me" type of narrative, just with an added gambling element for the sake of I suppose...flare? However the second chapter is honestly just offensive? A straight girl is supposedly going to become gay...by being hugged while watching lesbian porn...

Just, what even.

Edit: Is this manga just this meme/joke comic?

Mochida's totally in the closet. It's possible her and Haruki end up becoming the End Couple, honestly
