Where are you quoting this from? It reads like the typical editorial text from the end of a magazine chapter...?

I'm assuming from some (machine-?)translation of the description text of chapter 11 that apparently came out yesterday in Japanese?

Anyone ever wonder about queer content and censorship in the media?

My first thoughts reading that topic prompt and its reactions from no less than four newly created accounts lead me to believe that it's bait.

she gay

What gayve you that idea?

Thanks.

BTW how come ninja girl never shows Up in any of these?

Well, obviously there's this classic, but you're kinda right, she's woefully underrepresented here. I guess she has a lot more het appearances in doujin as the shoe-in tsundere loli girl.
(question so as to not necro the other thread: how old is the Gold Saucer doujin actually? Pretty sure I've come across that one earlier than 2007)

nice
Cloud's a wet blanket Chuuni anyway, go for it, girl!

It's canon, and AERITH, y'all just have to accept it

laughs in German PC-version of the original (yes, the German PC- and PS-versions have different localizations, but I think it's Aeris in both)
Actually I haven't finished the remake yet, don't have a PS4 myself and had to return the one my wife and I had borrowed before I could get around to finish it. Stopped right before the Airbuster and didn't pick it back up. Waiting for the PC release. It's already been 22 years since I first played the original, what is a year or two more?

I don't know how this author managed to make prostitution so cute and wholesome, love it.

Well, effectively by showing us how it should be instead of how it often turns out to be. No abusive client, a person who started the business out of curiosity rather than financial duress or coercion, a boss with good intuition and intentions, whose dubious methods work out for comedy instead of failing horribly to cause misery...
I wonder if the next client will also go so smoothly.

So I was thinking... should there be a non-schoolgirl tag or something like that? I know there's adult life, but that doesn't quite seem to cover it, because things like It's tough being Neeko apparently fall outside its scope. I mean, she is still living with her parents and entirely off their allowance, so you could argue she's not a functioning adult. Maybe the tag should just be applied there as well?

I've only found this today and read 10 chapters so far but damn... This hits way too close to home.
All of this is Depressing as fuck. As someone who's sunk over 10,000 hours into WoW, this page kinda hurt. I want Neeko to have a hug, a shoulder to cry on and to let it all out. While at the same time being reprimanded and prodded on to get her ass up.

The weekend was pretty good. I went to an pricey but good pizza place on Saturday. Went to Dairy Queen yesterday and got an item that was normally $5.47 for only 47¢ with a coupon.Had to buy some fries to use the coupon though.

-> got fries
-> saved 85% off another item
I see this as an absolute win!

A need a single narrator text bubble at the bottom of the last page, "and a week later they started dating".

A simple "*She wasn't..." would also work :D

Naaaaah, not worth it. Others will take care of it and I should avoid arguments on the internet anyway.

Guys, I have to get this off my chest. I’m in love with Nakano too.

I mean, how could you say no to that face?

@BV
I also didn't want her to join the fray of relationships... but it looks like this could be super fun, and I hope that's all it'll be. If she becomes a permanent intrusive part of the relationship diagram it might be more annoying than fun.

That was a bit of a weird way to spend *two chapters. Good thing I'm not afraid of backstories.

@Heavensrun
I haven't re-read it in its entirety recently, so my memory may be fuzzy. Still, I recall that this manga irked me with its almost-progression being repeatedly thwarted by stupendous timing and coincidence. Were it not for that perception I'd agree that mom's well-timed appearance "is not even contrived", but given those circumstances, it did feel that way for me. It had to happen eventually, sure. But it may have served the story well to actually let it run its course for more than one chapter before facing what feels like the final boss.

Actually - unless it is indeed a false memory, which is just as likely, considering Shiori's words - those are likely the same Miko already, since she's likely been protecting Hinako ever since. Whether her friend Miko actually existed (or was this Miko) before she became the only friend to stay with her is another question, though. We'll see next time, I guess.

That could also be it. I had discounted that possibility as I hadn't considered that she might be able to organically age alongside Hinako. Assuming she's some shapeshifter or another, it could very well be the case that she got close to her years ago and stayed by her side since then. Not sure how that would fit in with the student registry being a clue, though. It would seem plausible that she's taken a liking to Hinako and genuinely wants to protecc, but after Shiori's words I wouldn't be all that surprised if she'd been playing the long game ever since.

Yeah thinking the same thing. It's possible the student records show that Miko is not actually a student at the school or if there is a "Miko", it's a completely different person.

I'm curious to see what it is exactly. It has to be something that the school staff wouldn't notice, yet would be convincing to Hinako when Shiori points it out. The teachers would probably know if she wasn't actually a student or obviously not the same person. Guess we'll find out who's lying in April.

Maybe Miko was using Hinako as a bait to hunt monsters or something like that? Idk what Shiori might have found that could incriminate Miko, since i believe there weren't clues regarding ill intent Miko could have towards Hinako. I'm really curious to see what the author will come up with :3

My guess is that she found a clue that this Miko is actually not the same entity as this Miko - or just a figment of her imagination/false memory.

I'm not buying the "Miko actually cares about Hinako" theory. She might be after the very same thing as Shiori, just going about it in a comparatively underhanded way, rather than being upfront about it.
Curious to find out who and what exactly she is, as well as what her deal really is.

Also this manga is gorgeous. The art gave me some pleasant YagaKimi-vibes, particularly this page in chapter 1 reminded me of the way this shot was handled in the anime adaptation. That and Shiori's design and overbearing nature remind me of Touko, so I couldn't help giving them the same "inside voice".

I'm not sure what Wani-san's job is, but he sure is good at it.

On another note, though, the way the mangaka draws hair and clothing, especially in close-ups, is just so nice. One of my favorite artistic touches in the manga. Hino's hair, for instance, looks fantastic. You can almost tell the texture and thickness and the way it would shine, were there color and light.

Yeah, it's really something. The tree in the first panel of the last chapter also had that special something for me. How long is the time between publication of the entrance exam results and the start of the school year? Both chapters had falling Sakura petals (I guess), so I'd assume it wasn't actually all that long.
On the topic of hair, we need more Hino-san with a ponytail.

Blessed with both a new chapter of Hino-san as well as Weird Voices - it is a good day, even if they're both short chapters.
That relationship diagram is gold. I'd like to see it as a sign that Nakano is actually cool with the idea of her, Sakurako and Nagisa becoming a three-piece now.
Also, the poor landlord's daughter is in for quite the show I fear. I should bring some popcorn when the next chapter is out.

It didn't feel right to post this in the Yuri recommendations thread, so here goes:
My wife's into BL about as much as I'm into yuri. Maybe even more. Therefore I was wondering if you could help me out here: Can any of you recommend a decent site with a yaoi focus that has a similar "feel" to it as Dynasty? Like, a relatively warm and active, yet not too large community and forum, with a good selection of Manga to boot.

At least for me it's the combination of how extremely "conveniently inconvenient" (thanks to ninrok for reminding me of the term) mom's appearance is and how she's presented to be just so very cliché bad parent. It's something I'd appreciate in a series that was taking the piss out of tropes, a caricature trying to subvert them, but here it seems that the trope is just tuned up to the max and then played straight.

It's not that her "parenting skill" doesn't make sense - her daughter is kinda dysfunctional and parents more often than not have to shoulder at the very least some of the blame for that, and while she's pretty much cliché, those generally stem from reality anyway.

Sora's not allowed to have a mind of her own, to do anything MOTHER disapproves of, at least while she's present. "But me no buts, little miss!" It thus makes sense that she'd try to reclaim some of her liberty by rejecting "proper" behaviour (i.e. going to class) now that mom's not around. Friends probably haven't worked out in the past, MOTHER probably didn't approve or pushed them away when she was there, so she didn't really feel like trying now until Ayaka and her social circle somewhat gently got her involved.

MOTHER does make sense in the story. Her timing and abruptness is just a bit much.
