Hmm, not to start a yuri-or-not-yuri discussion, but to me this looks much more like her adopting the cactus girl as a mother/older sister than anything romantic. And tbh, with how childish the girl looks I am more comfortable with that anyway

For future reference, that tag has been removed.

I have no idea exactly what you’re objecting to—could you please restate your main point as simply as possible?

I thought the point was pretty obvious:

It's that I do not understand how two women, who are into gay men, are also into women, yet do not engage in media that has anything to do with women.

It’s the phrase “do not engage in media” that I find to be obscure—does this mean “do not create media” or “do not read’ or “do not follow avidly” or what?

People like what they like—that doesn’t mean that their preferred genres for either creation or consumption must somehow reflect their own lives.

This all sounds like a version of saying, “I’d expect lesbians to be into yuri rather than yaoi.” Some are, some aren’t, some are into both.

It was difficult to fathom for me too at first, but I just decided to stop giving it too much thought, like you said, people like what they like, regardless of their IRL dispositions. The reason why it's difficult to understand for me (and some others I guess) is that I like what I like, IRL and in media. Things are in line.

So I just finished chapter 10. And I sympathize with Misumi feelings towards ai, but not vice versa. Maybe cuz I don't tend to find younger people attractive... But also I'm wondering like I'm 33 and like... liking a minor is not okay.

That said! Maybe I only feel that way because all the older people I've talked to said that they can't like me back. Maybe we've passed this bias on for generations for better or worse.

I totally sympathize with both :) I remember liking some of my senpais in life when I was young, but I also liked many girls younger than me, and it just stayed that way for all my life so far.

I like this manga with each chapter more =o)
thanks a lot for the translation!
but I've a question: in ch. 5, in page 12,
isn't the order of the list incorrect? not nude peoples are the hardest to draw, it's people in clothes that are the hardest to draw, because wrinkles are not easy to draw (depending on accuracy). at least that's my impression when I try to draw people ;o) and the teacher sounds somewhat similar in this chapter. but at the same time she tells him that he's doing it in the wrong order.... so maybe it's still right?

YW! And I double-checked the original text and as far as I can understand it, the translation is correct.

From how I understand things, teacher first mentions that nude is harder to "fake" than clothed bodies. Then, conversely, Gin is puzzled, because he feels it's harder to do it right. After he's done, she explains to him the difficulty ranking and then the "proper steps" I guess. Gin is a natural-born artist who didn't go through procedural learning, so he isn't aware of things like bones, anatomy, clothes, etc. He only draws by feel. Seems like he had an easier time drawing Teach' nude than clothed, as to him, the wrinkles and different kind of details threw him off. I may be wrong, but that's how I perceived it!

I'm also not an artist, so I don't know the specifics, but I've seen some people draw and they'd draw the general anatomy of the character first and then go over it with additional details. Maybe Gin just didn't do that and that's what Sakura-sensei is trying to explain to him?

Don’t see the link for mangadex. Tried to view chapter on mangadex but the website didn’t work.

Lol, apologies, I inadvertently added the reddit-specific page I made into the chapter archive I uploaded here. It's fixed now.

The thirst for more OneLoli has been quenched
Thank you Daphie.

You're welcome! I did that one knowing some readers were impatient to read more, haha!! I'll try to keep at it. If I'm not mistaken, this one ends at chapter 24.

Happy I could bring you these, guys! YW!!!

I loved having a final(?) occasion to work on some content with Aizawa x Misumi! It's really cool that we get a prelude to something naughty in that last one, hahaha!

I think this series is too wholesome to have Mai and Tae together, unfortunately. The only good thing I see coming out of it is Tae being convinced that she shouldn't go to any more marriage meetings with men.

Also, no one would root for the coworker and Hitomi, nor the protagonist of Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! getting together with Hana. But I rooted for Mimika and Yuzumori-san, and for Noriko and Rhianna in Majyo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane

I'm definitely rooting for Mai and Tae ^_^ But yeah, I wouldn't leave Hitomi and the coworker alone in a room, oof!!!

Perfect! Such fuzzies and swoons in just 12 pages, love it!

@Yuki Kitsune @Blastaar You're welcome you guys and thank you for telling me!

@Ultraxion My only guess is maybe once of his step-siblings? I went and checked back and the word used there really is 弟.

Now, that particular line comes from the T/N notes, so it might not be what the author was going for or as strongly present in the story. At the same time, those parallels are striking and this is also a chapter that showed the teacher getting rejected from an art competition and saying she always wanted to be an artist, not a teacher, perhaps hinting at serious flaws in her approach to art. It's probably not the case, but I'd love it if this set up an arc where Gin realizes that what his graffiti was actually missing was an intent or message and that the teacher's art has a similar flaw, despite being a different medium.

Just wanted to point out that the T/N are excerpts from the Wikipedia page about Paul Delvaux, so it's general knowledge. I think our mangaka IS trying to paint interesting parallels. We'll see how it unfolds!!!

Chapter 4: the Mermaid bit is an interesting choice to portray sensei as a mythical and exotic critter in the eyes of the student. An inventive way to show reader how he sees her. I look forward to more gimmicks author will use in this manga.

The different art styles are cool to see, too.

I'm loving it too!

My PR friend mentioned a parallel between Sakura taking care of stray cats and taking care of Gin. I thought it was interesting. Also the fact that she confirms she feeds the cats, but doesn't take them in, leaves them their freedom, might also paint the portrait to how her relationship with Gin will unfold. He might have to take the lead for anything to happen. I don't know. Just food for thought I guess, haha!

Someone linked me to this story.
Godly story with a wholesome ending.
100 points.

I know, right??? Being a short one-shot, it's got an advantage, but it's just so perfect!!!

Hope this doesn't end up dragging...

Honestly what else is it going to do, but drag It can't really go anywhere. Mei and Tae are already friends. And I don't really think anyone wants to see an office lady hook up with a elementary schooler.

Speak for yourself, I'm genuinely not sure why you'd be reading this if that wasn't the outcome you were expecting and/or hoping for.

I'm reading this series because it's cute and kind of amusing. Tae trying to keep her feelings for Mai pure, while Mai keeps saying those cute little things, blissfully ignorant of how flirtatious they sound. It's all so adorable. I'm assuming, when the shtick gets old, the author will wrap it up and move on.

I hope the whole thing levels up at some point for sure (not level 99 mind you, just more wholesome), I'm one of them lol

I can think of one way, but you're not going to like it.
Next chapter: He decides to wait until he's an adult to confess.
(Timeskip!)
Following chapter: Now an adult, he confesses, they get together, the end.

Well, I for one, hope they get together before, goddamn timeskips, but I doubt we'll even get a kiss before a timeskip!!!

My only comment is that Princess Daphie is never wrong. Thank you your highness, even though I am completely confused about the first chapter...must have` been drawn with a break neck speed.

Thank you so much!!! Praise accepted humbly and I feel fulfilled! I hope the one shot will help you and everyone understand things better :)

Huh
This is grooming, isn't it?

It's reverse grooming! The girls groomed their teacher so she's ready for them when they reach 18, lol

Sad that we didn't get any lewd action since (loli) twins seducing an older woman is a very specific thing I want to see.

I'm convinced the mother was supportive of her daughters marriage plans.

I totally got that feeling too, based on the fact that the girls managed to visit Sensei for 13 years, lol, and the way they were talking and all, it really felt like they had discussed it already, haha

Why the lolicon tag? Did I miss the bit where she did or wanted anything with them as kids? I dont think them kissing her when shes half asleep and she not returning it counts.

If she was a lolicon she wouldnt have waited for them to grow up!

That's being a bit fussy I think. There's no "loli" tag in Dynasty, it's "lolicon", just semantics. It involves lolis. On MD, it's "loli".

Even with the middle of the series being what it was, the ending was actually quite nice.

Special mention to this bit of absolute cuteness in the middle of all that lewd kissing. ^_^

YESSSSHHH! SHOOO KYUUTTTE!!!

I'm confused. The series is completed but the note at the end says final volume coming in Aug 2022?

It's the physical volume. They always tend to say that on final chapters, to announce when you can buy it in book form.

Having followed the pre-serial, I'm honestly sad it ended up this way but oh well, can't win 'em all I guess~

Thanks for all your hard work Daphie, haven't been commenting much but your work is always highly appreciated <3

YW!!! It's always a confused feeling when a series I'm working on ends!

What I'm more upset about though is where's my NSFW damn it?

the god damn kiss was disgusting wtf was with that saliva??? ewwww

Have you read the first chapters of this exact manga? It's been like that since day one! And like the other user mentioned, it was like that in the pre-serialization version too!

ngl, I rarely like drama, but this was very cathartic to read.

Gotta love a revenge hate fuck relationship. At least in fiction.

maybe one of the most satisfying thing for me with this is that Nozomi looks like she's been refusing it, but wanting it at the same time! like, was she happy to be "playing" hooky with Konomi for the sake of her goal? plus she's purely physically the hottest character in the story, IMO, so... Konomi's not losing everything by chasing her like a succubus would!

Though in the end the dominant loli and Yukiko's sister were the best couple.

LOOL TRUE XD the only ones that win at the end XD

I totally love them too. They're best ship of this story for sure! As I horny-mentioned it in my afterword though, I loved Konomi's offense on Nozomi. They really suit each other in the end, hahaha!

Stella Record

Who is Stella? ^^;;

It's you, Akane!

Who is Akane? ^^;;;

The way you put your reaction makes it so funny and endearing. <3
But you do have a point, those names stay unexplained. I'll make an educated guess and say that Akane must be a girl who happens to look just like short-haired Ritsu (and is a former lover of that woman with the mole) and Stella is a wink to Kyouko's vow on "that super shiny star" in the sky (since stella is star in Latin).

Since we are at questions, I also have a question. Is the cover page really supposed to look like that? It seems to have 400% more gamma than necessary. I tried a gamma correction (to make it lower) and this is what I got:

Image

It seems more satisfactory, or at least more pleasing to my eyes.

I found a tweet announcing the series, just to confirm that my raws might not also have been wrong:

Thank you everyone for your comments and YW! Hoping this continues being fun! And yeah @Mu, it was kinda dense, especially as far as typesetting goes, haha!!
