Honestly dont think this is yuri. Feels more like sisterly to me, and thats ok.

The last page disagrees with you quite a bit.

That the world does not have enough YamaKisu is one of its tragedies.

A smitten Sakuya is just refreshing and lovely.

We need the other two books.

Lol, this is pretty funny, but I still say the best part has to be the credits page of the 3rd chapter.

That credits page was so perfect. So appropriate and so ingenious.

That teacher was actually pretty horrible. Like seriously? Mistreats the child the entire year (even says she's not good enough to be a princess, like I get it was an accident, but SERIOUSLY!? You said that TO A LITTLE GIRL!?) and then manages to completely forget she's leaving and make her feel horrible...Like when the narrator was was talking about when the teacher said she really, really liked her, that "she may have even meant the opposite." Yeah, I agree. I think your teacher actually kinda hated you lol.
Damn tho...such a good little girl...the world needs more children like this one...

I don't think "meant the opposite" was the main character saying that the teacher hated her. Rather, it's just that the main character realized that the teacher's tears and sadness were more a love for herself than a love for her students. For the teacher, her heart has always been with her own image and responsibility as a teacher. She would unknowingly break the dreams of her student just so that she could have an easier time teaching. She never had a place in her heart for the main character. The teacher's sadness was really from betraying herself, and not because she actually cared.

How the main character reacted was really admirable though. Love produces nice things.

Wow, I didn't know you could write an entire story revolving around someone's foot hurting. Is it safe to say that I have seen it all now?

"Seen it all?" I don't think you realize the scale of that statement.

We need a Not Yaoi.

Exactly. When I saw the tags I thought, "Where's the yaoi tag?"

So many images of this pairing, and yet so little doujinshi of them. I am quite sad, as DaixCirno is an awesome pairing.

Also, farmer couple Yuugi and Parsee \o/

Yes, I loved that also.

Yuuka should call her bakery the Sunflower Bakery. And then the residents of Gensoukyo can call her "Miss Sunflower." And Nitori can be her air-headed helper...And....

(One of the) Best pairing(s) in touhou.

Don't Patchy and Koa remind you of Miss Sunflower and Matsuri? It's part of their charm.

Finally, some much anticipated yuri!

Mostly delusional, sure. But still very nice to enjoy. Even better with yuri goggles.

...slightly anarchic Chinese.

For clarity, I suspect that this means "archaic Chinese", as in no longer commonly used.

Terrible mistake. That was indeed what I meant. :)

Btw: The original title 相隔的彼端 is propably read as "Soukakutekikaretan" and might mean something along the lines "Being seperated from one's other part". Makes sense to me, though, even a native Japanese i asked does not know how to read it or the proper translation.

Edit: Oh wait, that title is probably from a chinese translation and kept in this version?

I'm not surprised that a Japanese speaker is not able to pronounce it. Because even the Chinese is pretty hard for a native Chinese speaker as it is slightly anarchic Chinese. Probably since archaic Chinese is very similar to Japanese seeing as how the languages have had more in common in the past. And perhaps because Yohane's titles are weird so even the Chinese title is difficult.

The Chinese title should translate to how you mentioned. Although that has nothing to do with the sensible Japanese translation of "The bridge night after night," and even that doesn't have much relation to the story itself. Maybe this is why Yohane's titles are always kept in Japanese.

Also, a slightly yandere Mitori is fine too.

I've been trying to support Marisa x Reimu.... trying so goddamn hard.....

It will never be easy. Marisa and Alice were made for each other!

Ouch.

Although.

canonically Seiga's kind of a jerk

Yeah. The ability to abandon things probably carries with it a connotation of power.

I'm gonna repeatedly beat the shit out of you!!

Bomber Grape is very literal

@Rosenakahara No that's stretching it.

Anyway, there has been quite a huge flood of Elsanna oh Pixiv, I was expecting more at Dynasty. So, here's to more future Elsanna!

I think chapter 1 is supposed to be chapter 3 right? Since Warugaki did two more Kogasa doujins with the same theme and name before.

Feels like this needs a pairing tag.

God DAMN that first happy Suwako face!

You know, people talk so much about Yohane's strengths. The diversity of body types, the all-girl world, the boobs, the creative pairings and all that. But I think what Yohane does best, every time, is draw such deeply happy girls. And not just drawing a silly smile, but really making the reader understand that this girl is 110% in love, plus tip, and that's a wonderful thing.

Although the way Yohane draws the death stare is something legendary too.

I thought the other goblins are just playing the straight-man to the age-old joke that marriage makes you miserable.

The time it took the other girl to even show up, from opening scene to that point, she had plenty of time to walk off the ledge, be it a minute that passed or even ten. I'm not saying she's really attention seeking, that probably wasn't her intention, but to me, she just wasn't serious about it. Those who are serious wouldn't wait and have a conversation, kinda like in the Titanic movie where Rose wants to jump off the edge of boat but Mr. Smooth Talker changed her mind.

Even if she was seeking attention, is there something inherently wrong with seeking some sort of companionship and realization for one's existence? If someone is contemplating jumping off a building to get some sort of attention, don't you think they really needed it then? She probably wasn't intending to jump, but that shouldn't been seen as some sort of failure on her part, it's just indicative of much more complicated problems in her life. In the end, it's simply great that she recovered from a low point in her life with the help of the other girl.

Just as I thought the plot went somewhere, another cliffhanger appears! Coincidences in manga never hurt this much.

I'm curious: What will be the point or message? Because right now they only have replaced the established system with the empress's* rule. Now, she's arguably a better leader (for now), but in the end, it's still the same: oppressive and dictatorial.
A dictatorship with a "good" leader may work quite well, but it's still wrong.

*I'm pretty sure the grammar is wrong, please correct it if you can

Funny you should say that, because you are assuming that the idea of a dictatorship is just somehow inherently wrong.
Hua is a character larger than her own existence, because her will and enthusiasm is what powers the transformation of her entire class. In the face of a weak "citizenship," can anything other than a dictatorship or oligarchy change anything?

The idea that Hua will simply repeat the oppressiveness of the current system in the end seriously underestimates our hero doesn't it? After all, the whole point so far seems to be that Hua is different from the structures in place. It would not be wrong to say that if 5-3 was left to its own devices, it would just remain as a class that deserved its negative reputation. Seems to me like a terrible punishment to the children who we've seen are capable of so much and just didn't realize their own potential. That would have really been "still wrong."

Now there's a message. Sometimes the world is very oppressive and hopeless, but a strong Empress can remind everyone that together we can achieve something.
