Instead of Sayori moving into Mizuki's 2BR, Mizuki should plan to move into Sayori's 1BR. Sayori can go to a good college and work on her career, Mizuki can be the housewife. I'm sure that will fix all their problems!!1!

People have noted dark elements in previous chapters, like a frequent motif suggesting hanging. Plus the suicide of Kasumi's friend, of course

So the box cutter is still a flashback, from before Sayori saying "we're great, hey we should double date"? Interesting.

"Ooh, hot"

"Wait, kind of toxic."

"...now I'm just confused... Gimme more?"

first cousins incest is perfectly legal so that's not a problem here.

A lot of people, e.g. many modern Americans, are squicked out by first cousin relationships even though it's legal.

OTOH for many societies, including 1800s England, it wasn't considered incest at all, just normal or even desirable. It's not like sibling or parent-child incest which are almost universal taboos, especially outside royal families with pretensions of divinity (and maybe a habit of not raising siblings in the same household.)

Arguably the tag should be used for relationships the characters consider incestuous and taboo. Or we should have multiple incest tags, one for the story perspective and one for viewers who want to avoid some definition or another of incest.

This author sure really loves gay witches

Nah, the author really loves edging the reader.

This seems more extreme than most, though.

Allie's just getting started. There's time for requital.

Yeah, it's not really shipping when you can just observe Nanoha being precociously gay.

I love the casual use of flight magic. First Allie abducting Diana, then Diana going "the roof, you say?" and jumping out the window.

Maybe we'll get flying makeouts, like some NanoFate doujins.

It's a flashforward chapter, like the sex chapter 57.5 or so. I predict a long divorce arc.

I'm told the raws have a note saying "3 chapters".

Man, too bad there's been no foreshadowing of the current target girl maybe ending up with the hospital girl. Absolutely none. No hint of upcoming yuri whatsoever.

/s

Also, the first volume had two yuri resolutions, plus one yuri crush.

Setsuna's angel cosplay seemed rather impossible; the arms if not the wings were all moving.

Wakana's increasingly revealing "this is not mating or anything like that!" cautious pep talk. It basically feels like all of that, but their master insists it isn't so -

-- And also, a cis "man" dislikes to have lesbians to have relationship because look at the real world: they would definitely complain that they are too lonely and that they don't have female companion because of...(Just my two cents)

-- Oh and according to observation through Twitter/X, a cis man would say something like "you didn't like men? That's because you haven't found the "one" yet something like that..and would work extremely hard just to "straighten lesbian" . But in this case, the protagonist said "he wants to be a girl so that he could fall for a girl ". I believe he has the "Yuri heart" in a male body

You're too biased, there are many men into Yuri. 60% of the readers of Yurihime are men

Some years ago there was a survey on the Dynasty Scans Discord. https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/15346-dynasty-specific-demographic-survey

42.5% cis men, 35% straight cis men. Men and women overall basically the same at 45% each, with 9% non-binary.

/r/yuri_manga has had various polls, with results like 33% male, 27% cis male, 31% straight male (different polls asked different questions).

(This is not meant to rebut the Yurihime number; different communities have different compositions. Point is that yeah, lots of men are around, no matter where you look.)

We have yuri subtext; trans subtext next?

Can we just let the manga play out more before freaking out?...

Apparently not!

For extra fun, I wonder if there's a difference in current transfem narratives between the US and Japan? Like, even if this is a totally sincere and sympathetic work, maybe by a transfem author, could it still rub people here the wrong way because of different communities/construction/shorthand?

Thanks for the TL notes! Though maybe some of that should be at the ends of the actual chapters, not lost in a forum discussion?

Pages 25-26 are incredibly lewd. Also, did they kiss on page 26?

I dunno. I feel that's too big a moment, plus the TL's comment about Hanuyo being too innocent still, but the posture and missing heads sure suggest that.

We get new chapters every week or two, it's hard for the IRL time gap to be better, short of your just refusing to read it until more chapters are ready to read at once.

Plutonium-238 would already be over critical mass (<10kg)

Okay, this is weird. I didn't think Pu-238, as an even-mass isotope, would be fissile or have a critical mass. So I looked it up, and find... contradictions. There's a paper claiming a calculated (not measured) critical mass slightly lower than for Pu-239! One wikipedia page marks it fissile, another not. Some authoritative-seeming chemical society pages call it non-fissile, others call it fissile.

But if the box were Pu-239, then yeah, already go boom.
