For those waiting, Canno is coming back this winter with a new series \o\ It will be in Dengeki Daioh this time (yes, the one that published YagaKimi).

I'm so not entitled to demand more of a product I don't acquire it, that being said, 4 chapters a year for like 13 or less pages and it's not even an complex story, I'll say this is the type of stuff that deserved the axe ...

Don't axe Skeeter Rabbit axe this, I'VE SAID IT!

That's just how this magazine is published, you gotta deal with it. As the name suggests, "Dragon Age Extra" is just an extra, something you read besides other stuff. It would be even more frustrating if the story was complex actually − I've been following D.Gray-Man and Berserk for years, as well as Made in Abyss more recently; it's fucking hell.

That, or she doesn't want Kon to see the bloody remains of Mari's body splattered on the ground.

No honorifics, no ("senpai" is replaced by family names).

Volume 1 is finally out in France, and man the art comes off so much better in a paper volume. I almost rediscovered the early chapters…

Doesn't seem to be any translation fumbles either, although said translation feels a little flat on some parts. Nothing that ruins the experience though.

Sex scenes can truly be beautiful when put in the right hands, can't they…

Also, it wasn't hard to get how Touko's horror movie plan would turn out. XD

…Fuck, I'm crying tears of happiness right now. Well done, Nakatani.

Yuri Navi ran its third yuri manga ranking poll recently & YagaKimi got 1st for the third consecutive time with 1,816 votes, beating out 2nd place (Citrus) by 1,314 votes. The poll was not available for overseas fans this time around. In total, there were about 3,300 votes this year while last year it was around 1,900 votes. So yes, it was a complete landslide with YagaKimi took more than half the total votes. Direct sauce to 10th-1st places here.

Kinda surprised to see Whispering a Love Song in 4th place. I like it but it's been kinda… generic so far…?

Here's the official announcement for the French localization of YagaKimi since I remember some members here were waiting/hoping for it: https://twitter.com/EditionsKana/status/1161948186774294528?s=20

About goddamn time! \o/ And I'm kinda glad it's licensed by a "mainstream" manga publisher instead of a BL/GL focused one like Taifu Comics.

Now if only we could get AnoKiss someday…

It's not like you can chose who you fall for anyway… The best you can hope is that you learn it's hopeless early enough that you can move on easily.

^Regarding the first rule, the opposite applies too (don't fall for someone gay if you're het). Though obviously, statistics make that a less common occurrence.

When Touko let her parents go together to the onsen, I thought "d'aw, how thoughful of her!"

Then the last page came and I was like "Oh, so that was part of the plan, huh." XD But this is so very human. After all, a lot of our decisions are a mix of altruism and selfishness.

…So this has been the most viewed thing on Dynasty in the last week. Didn't expect that. XD

Usually at a bar you first enter a conversation with your potential partner and loosen up a little over a drink.

Which is exactly what she does? Her pick up line isn't "Shall we fuck?" but "Shall we have a drink?" Plus they go to a hotel, it's not like they do it in a dark back alley.

Seriously though, I love this panel…

The moment she realized she could get used to this. <=D

Well, what actual "benefits" do you really gain from having sex with a total stranger from whom you just met?

Pleasure without the burden of engagement?

I guess what Manager does is less dangerous in a low-criminality country like Japan… still seems reckless though. But I'm pretty sure I've heard of people like that in real life.

The best thing about this doujin imo is there're no annoying phrases like "No,not there" or "That's place is dirty" etc.

Well, technically there's a "that place is dirty" page 24… except that, when told to stop the Manager actually stops.

By the way, I like how in page 5 and 42 you can guess Ai's "experience" just by looking at her fingers. <=D

^ They're Kei and Chiyoko from Act-Age, a fantastic series about, well, acting (there are official English translations on Mangaplus). There's no romance in it (yet), but the authors definitely know how the shipper's mind works.

Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

Exhibit 3

Exhibit 4

Exhibit 5

Not to mention that chapter cover where Chiyoko holds a white lily…

This is a great manga, anime when?

After a year of publication, we have roughly an episode and a half of material… so, maybe in 9 or 10 years we'll have a full season. :þ Unless they make a movie.

Hey, rereading chapter 1, guess who was there. <=D

Lyendith, I think she refers to the shell only and not the living thing, because I know they have a very "funny" shape...

Well, yes. I was just saying that she compared them ("rough outside, soft and smooth inside") to something else, and that that thing is probably Furuka.

Well, I wonder what's left to do now that they've hooked up…

reads chap

…Oh yeah… that…

It's a pity the last page overshadows the other interesting details of the chap.

Like Kon who gently caresses the abalones (who remind her of… Furuka?)

Or the little glance Furuka gives to Kon when the girls insult her…

Daaamn, I didn't realize Kaori was this huge. >.>

Chapter 4 is out in Japan. It's as short as ever, but… something happens I guess. Not sure what.

accept the fact that you're about as straight as a noodle in hot water!

I prefer the expression "straight as a rainbow", but that works too. :þ

Aaanyway… I don't know on what planet you live, Kino, but what you had with Yori was a romantic date, no matter how you slice it. The curse of Class S is still looming over Japanese high-school girls, I guess.

But at least I appreciate that Yori left no room for ambiguity. When dealing with blockheads like that, you gotta drill it into their brain.

She definitely is. She's just there to make the two useless girls a little less useless, but AkiYori? I'd ship it. :þ

I don't remember if it's Canno or Nakatani Nio who spoke those words of Truth a few years ago: "If a cute girl and a cute girl do cute things, it'll be hella cute."

If there was an anime of this, half of the budget would go into love bubbles and blur effects.
