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:

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!!

It's a little confusing since it just skips over the MC confessing and somehow assuming she got rejected, plus it ends with a new character being introduced in the last page with no prior context. I'm still liking what I see so far, but this feels more like a chapter 2 or 3 rather than a chapter 1.

Oh, I kind of didn't know how to mention it, but, there actually was a one-shot released before with the same characters before, so maybe that explains the quick introduction into action?! I don't think it's been translated though.

Heey thanks for the new series Daphie~ looks like it can go to hell in many ways so hype to see where it’s going.

Also can’t help but to feel like you got mildly peer pressured into doing yuri since you’ve become the regular het poster in dynasty lmao, hopefully that’s not the case though and that is just a bad joke. In any case thanks again as always!

YW! And yeah, it's kind of like... half a joke... and half serious because I was charmed by the art when I was looking through the magazine!

Daphie without age-gap….what a world we are living in!

Yeah, it feels weird, haha, but it reminds me of how I picked up "I Kissed a Succubus", same thing, yuri, no age-gap!!!

I like how the boy kind of opened up to the teacher this chapter.

Yeah, I'm happy it didn't take forever!!!

Welp, that's a nice take on art.

I'm totally taken by it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by that. I love the character designs, but an art teacher whose take on graffiti is "You should do it on a canvas and, while you're at it, switch over to doing classic nudes" is a choice.

Honestly, the teacher came off as really creepy with how she pressed him on doing the nudes and I'm glad he called her on the sexual harassment, even if that line was immediately dropped.

Well, I'd have loved to have a free-spirited hot female teacher, that's about all I can say and why I probably take this as totaly fine, LOL, I guess when you can relate in some way, it goes in better?

On an unrelated note, there's a blank speech bubble in the second to last panel of page 35, chapter 1. Was that supposed to say something?

Thanks, it's fixed! It slipped under the radar because it looked like a puff of smoke or something I guess.

Because she cares a lot about Fuu and thus don't want to make a mistake and hurt her, she is also not find of her succubus traits and has been very inactive this entire series, AND everyone around her is acting strange

It's pretty believable really

What mistake? I mean if she really likes fuu and doesn't feel the same towards konomi then it shouldn't be that hard. It would be understandable if she were looking for a way to turn konomi down without hurting her cause she knew konomi likes her. Anyway I just got spoilers of ch22 so yea

These spoilers don't help, they're like cheating for us who don't read ahead, lol. You spoiled me, because I couldn't help myself.

First, than anything, thank you so much to Dalphie for translating the entire series, it was a fantastic read, and age gap yuri is not that common so I really appreciate it.

That said, I feel the ending was a bit underwhelming and rushed. I think that sato had more planned for Madoromi and the sensei after being brought into the spotlight in the previous chapter. The jump to Kaori and Misumi living together and getting married/proposed is too abrupt if really heartwarming. I would've liked to see more of them dating and living as a couple.

YW and everyone else who mentioned it, thank you as well! I'm happy this manga has had its good share of readers: it's made it so much more fun to translate!

As for the ending, my best guess is that the axe was announced to Sato maybe one or 2 chapters into the 5th volume, so while she's had it in her mind to make the volume's main subject about Ai's coming out to Misumi's parent, she's had to improvise and cut things short, tying up as many loose ends as she could within the last volume. I think she stretched out the number of pages as well. My hypothesis is based on the fact that the first 4 chapters of the volume are about that single event, and the last one of these 4 feels kind of like an ending, with the following chapters being a bit more of a three-chapter epilogue, with shorter events contained in each of them. Maybe I'm wrong, but looking back, that's how it feels.

21-24. Ai coming to meet Misumi's parents
25. Misumi's official manga serialization
26. Madoromi's beginning of coming to terms with her sucky world view and healing from heartbreak that she denied up 'til now
27. Ai and Misumi's actual commitment and living together, plus Misumi's manga making it to the big screen.

love it! perfect age gap Yuri couple.

The epilogue is soo sweet. It makes up for all the shit that happened in this manga.
On a side note, I find this artstyle very sexy, the bodies look real soft <3

I totally fell in love from the first one or two chapters!!! It was such a sensual turn on too. Mangaka really knows how to make two girls together look soooooo beautiful and sexy. I'm saying this because not all authors do that kind of art while not making me uncomfortable, and even less often that I'm welcoming it arms wide open like in this case!!!

I think we can safely assume that the manga was axed on short notice, but that notwithstanding, I loved it and the ending brought me satisfying closure!
