Interesting.

Some typos, given as suggested corrections:
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/jk_chan_and_her_male_classmates_mom_ch01 "18 years old"

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/jk_chan_and_her_male_classmates_mom_ch01#2 "he does have the" Also I might move the 'surprisingly' before 'well'.

Gilmore Girls?

I think this is the most yuri thing that's been in the entire manga.

Personally, I think the tit-groping chapter was pretty yuri.

Forgot that.

IIRC Shino seems very likely to be baby gay. No outright "I like a girl" but frequent fascination (as above) or flustering by female bodies, and a total lack of tension with her male friends. Not to mention this yandere jealousy attack.

Nozomi I'm less sure of, though she gets shoujo decoration around her text from Heidi this chapter. Of course she married a guy so probably not gay.

Cats and children are both better if adopted after toilet training.

"on read" or "unread"?

There are in fact burgers better eaten with knife and fork. Thick and goopy. Chile's good at them. OTOH I don't think a Japanese fast food burger is likely to be one of them, Mei's probably just unused to peasant food.

pretty derivative with canon

'deviating from' is more like it.

You know, Dynasty's download limit of 8 chapters a day hurts when someone puts out lots of 4 page chapters.

het drama

Uhh, Uta/Kaoru drama was the main spine of the series. Granted, it seems to be Kaoru/Reichii now, but since the drama is that he doesn't love her (that way), it'll plausibly swing back. Anyway it's running in Yuri Hime because it was very clearly a yuri drama.

euthanized

Was that ever clear? I'd taken it more as experimental treatment that failed, or just operating at all when there was a personal connection (thus violating ethics).

Wowa. Hopefully not with Matsuri! :)

One thing I noticed in a summer in Osaka was that Japanese women generally didn't show that much skin, even when it was hot and humid. There was the occasional schoolgirl skirt probably shorter than regulation, and it's not like I ever went to nightlife areas. But in Boston you could see a lot of young women dressed like that during the day -- maybe less flashy versions, but like short tank top and short shorts -- just walking around, and far less of that in Japan. If I did see someone in skimpy clothes I often guessed she was a visiting foreigner, whether from seeing a white boyfriend or overhearing her talk or both.

GBLT. You can pronounce it giblet!

BLTG! It's an BLT sandwich, + G. (Guacamole?)

(I misremembered the BLT order.)

Also, the cover? Woo! I want to be where Rin is.

I think Rin and Mayuki have been the main focus, with Akira as the prize, so it's natural they've been more developed and thus appealing. Now is when it gets spicy.

(The plural of spouse is spice. Mouse, mice, louse, lice, spouse, spice!)

Obviously, author forgot (or choose to ignore), what a class full of teens is.

It's a girls school. Spelled out on page 2 or so.

First 5 chapters: strong and coherent, if twisted. I was anticipating marking this as a Favorite.

Volume 2: wtf??? wandered all over the place. Kujou's betrayal, Tomoe physically assaulting her father for no clear reason, unclear resolutions...

TIL that dental dams have a non-sexual use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_dam

Apparently it's a fairly modern idea, and not widely used, thus not widely sold. And you could just use plastic wrap instead. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/04/dental-dams-are-more-symbolic-practical/587539/

https://www.theverge.com/2014/3/20/5522106/the-sexual-history-of-the-dental-dam

'Even Richters questions whether the dental dam is actually worth the trouble. "Why you would use dental dams instead of cling wrap is unclear to me."'

'Richters also blames a lack of funding for the insufficient knowledge regarding the risks of STI transmission between queer women. "It’s hard to get grant money when people don’t die of being lesbians," she says.'

I wonder if they take turns in who sleeps in the middle. Aka the one who has to crawl over one of the others if she needs to go pee at 3am.

I'm not really there yet, but when I left a Spanish-speaking country, it was a shift to be using English with the attendants on the (American) airline. Likewise leaving Japan after a few months for Australia. I do have arbitrary moments of using 'hai', 'da', or 'si' instead of yes. I particularly like 'nyet' for no, perhaps because it sounds like "not yet" too.

So 'impregnable' is one of those words with multiple and nearly opposite meanings: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/impregnable

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnable

Goes back to the 1913 Webster dictionary, too. Not all online dictionaries have "capable of being impregnated", though, I had to look around to find Collins.

Of course, this in Latinate English; it's unlikely Japanese has the exact same ambiguity.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_night_turned_out_to_be_hot#3 looks pretty nude to me.

You do know that women have nipples, right? Unless we somehow know canonically that Yuzu was born without them, which would be weird.

The tag description doesn't specify full frontal nudity.

It's two completely naked girls in a sexual position. Saying it shouldn't be 'NSFW' because there's no visible nipple is ridiculous.

Cute story. Not the most realistic, not the least. Deserves an Age Gap tag.

Site doesn't have a Yakuza tag.

Volume title is given as "their will is complex and white". Any idea what that's supposed to mean, or.any access to the original Japanese?."white will".makes no sense.

This is probably their attempt to translate this from the first chapter: "ひどくよじれて、それでも白い、純粋な想いの糸。"
It's more accurately translated as "This thread of memories/feelings is as pure and untainted as it is horribly twisted."

Arigatou.

Apply Rikaichamp and my limited knowledge for an in-order translation:

"terribly twisted, nevertheless white, the pure thread of their feelings"

I am surprised looking at JDIC to see that 白い apparently just means 'white', no halo of other related meanings like purity.
