You know, reading these two chapters I involuntarily felt my heart sink. I just can't root for Aki yet. I'll wait until her full circumstances are revealed to pass any sort of concrete judgement, but her character at present just repulses me.

anyway i hope tsubomi will find somone better than this b*tch. (but i hope it won't be incest.)

Could you please tone down your posts a bit? You're expressing an unreasonable degree of vitriol towards a fictional character, and it's frankly becoming unpleasant to read.

Was that a brief regression to younger Kyouko's personality?

So Big Auntie turns out to be a naughty prankster. I always imagined her to be as stoic, deadpan and comically serious as her expressions always were before this chapter.

...Why now?

Are you responding to someone in particular?

I was referring to this particular chapter. We have Tsubomi's backstory and Nazuki(?)'s mysterious subplot going on, and suddenly we cut to a character who I don't think has ever been focused on before. I mean, not that I would expect actual development from this manga (God forbid!), but the timing of this chapter still feels abrupt.

It's not really strange. Mochi does this every now and then. Remember how Nazuki's subplot was interrupted a few times to focus on other characters?

I know, it just feels kind of off to me. But maybe I felt this way every other time and just forgot. That seems likely.

Well, here's something a bit different. I'm definitely curious to see where this is going.

Not Lizard is a joke tag, it doesn't mean anything. 404: Men Not Found (previously known as Missing Y Chromosome) refers to when there are either no significant male characters or no male individuals period in a manga. This includes when it's just part of the manga's style (like in Yuru Yuri, which focuses solely on female characters) or when men literally don't exist within the manga's fictional world.

It's worth reminding everyone that a person can only see their own string, starting on their 18th birthday. Even the person on the other end can't see it if they haven't come of age yet. So, what's to stop people from lying? And then when the person they lied about being connected to comes of age and realizes they aren't connected to the liar, the liar accuses them of lying in order to escape the relationship, and the fact is that only the people directly concerned know the truth of the matter.
Never assume there aren't people who will take advantage of something. They'll always be there.

Then she would become Lily, Destroyer of Pussy.

Akira x naive little kouhai whose name I've already forgotten thirty seconds after reading it. I now ship them harder than the main couple.

SOME NERDS doing GOD'S WORK.

Yea, I'm definitely for parings between servants. And even Gudako x Female Servant, is still yuri as well xP

Imo some Servant pairings are better than Gudako x F Servant, like Altera x Helena (bless Riyo), Jalter x Fake Bryn, Artoria x Mordred, Anne x Mary, Abigail x Lavinia, Shuten x Ibaraki.

You forgot Nobunaga x Okita.

What even is this anymore... Although, whatserface casually opening her shirt did make me smile, which this manga hasn't achieved in a while.

Well, since the level of gay has been dangerously high from the beginning, that doesn't seem like a problem. I just don't want a series that's been such a breath of fresh air to end so quickly.

Yeah, I think so. I started off thinking it would be torture but I think I'm being pandered enough to the point I don't have that much of a reason to complain. This image being a good example of why's that: http://puu.sh/Ai1pa/cc2dec9c74.jpg

Well, there's that, but it's also just really good in general. If it keeps this level of quality through its entire run (although I don't want to think about it ending yet), it could easily become one of my favorite manga of all time.

No. From what I've heard from people way far into the manga, nothing really happened in that department either, I suppose it just maintained the same level of gay.

And finally: "Some things are better left unsaid" Which I am very highly sure it refers to their actual feelings for one another throughout this manga. This makes me upset.

It's not over yet though, right?

[...] there's actually a lot of Fate yuri doujins

But there's a respectable amount of yuri doujins that I've seen, both all-ages and explicit

Assuming we're talking about djs that are already on the net, pics or it didn't happen.

Well, that's just the thing. When I say I've seen them, I'm mostly referring to Pixiv samples. I'm not sure many of them are getting scanned, which is partially what I meant by "overlooked." It might come down to a simple lack of interest...

Also, basically everyone is bi in FGO, so that opens a lot of doors when it comes to doujins. And there's actually a lot of Fate yuri doujins out there, even if they're not on the site, there's just not a lot of people working on them :|

A lot? Sure there were some, but majority (as usually) is with Gudao or het in general. I actually plan to TL one, but with my work schedule, you can probably expect it in next century...

Given the enormous volume of fanwork F/GO has inspired, it's to be expected that the het-focused material, especially the garden-variety self-insert porn that doesn't require any knowledge of the source material, would somewhat drown out the yuri. But there's a respectable amount of yuri doujins that I've seen, both all-ages and explicit, including a few gems (NSFW). They just seem to be mostly getting overlooked.

Well, I'll admit that these two chapters made me more invested in the story than the first two, but still nothing about this series so far has surprised me. Not that a standard plot is always a bad thing.

Encountering an older lesbian couple. Possibly my favorite yuri trope.

Say who is Saber Alter, I know Saber but its hard to tell who are the Saber when they are when they look like Saber?

I don't know all the details, but in short she is just Seiba, but turned evil, so she has a personality of villain in anime. And then came FGO and made shitload of Seibas variations and other alter versions...

So you have:
Saber
Saber Lily
Saber Alter
Saber Alter Santa
Saber Lancer
Saber Lancer Alter
Saber Archer
Saber Alter Rider
Saber Assassin
Saber Berserker

Yes, it got really ridiculous and out of hand. Good luck tagging all of that.

Also way to tell apart Seiba from Seiba Alter, is that Seiba Alter doesn't have her ahoge. Cutting it off is how she turns into her dark version. Well from what I understand there is a actual in game explanation for her darker version, but later games etc. started to play with it as a joke and removing her ahoge will changed her into her dark version. Not sure how she lost it originally though.

Also, last 2 on the list are technically "Mysterious Heroine X" and "Mysterious Heroine X Alter", because they are totally not Seiba. Nobody would thought that...

Don't forget Saber Extra. Even if she isn't the same person, the fact that she's still called "Saber" only serves to further confuse newcomers...

Finally watched Comic Girls after reading so much about it here. I'm genuinely shocked by how much I like it so far.

"...But it would be even nicer to see you standing at the altar next to my daughter. Just saying."

I do very much like the omake, but my god it took like three hours to translate for just one page 'cause of the illegible handwriting, lmao.

(Original for anyone curious)

Ouch. That's pretty bad. And there's even artifacting.
