Ah yes, Yuru Yuri has returned. And with it, returns my sudden craving for chocolate and tissue paper.

Also rum raisin. I don't even like Kyouko that much.

Wasn't this a day in the original VN?

Yeah I could've sworn a very similar scenario played out in either the original VN or some bonus side story.

Hey, thanks for using the original names.

+1 to this.

And Mary definitely seems like the kind of girl that would come out of a town called "Spiketown".

Im rewatching k-on! On netflix so this is actually great timing

The dialogue made this seem kind of... off. But it was hot so

Waow, I had no idea even K-On! is on Netflix now.

Then again I hardly use Netflix at all because I'm still a luddite who pirates everything.

Dig! Dive! Rock Polish! Play Rough! The moveset possibilities are endless!

Day Hard? Female detective?

I'm trying to imagine a female Bruce Willis, and my brain refuses to process it.

Yippee ki-yay desu wa!

I hated the "I stan that" translation as well. Too lazy to Google it right now to double-fact-check but for those unaware (and I know there's at least a few of you) "stan" is slang for being an obsessive fan of something, or someone who is an obsessive fan of something. Came from an Eminem song or something.

KAERU BASHO WA KOKO DA YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;_;

Pg. 6: "desert" -> "dessert"

Also, I've never, ever heard anyone contract "excuse me" into "'cuse me". I've seen "'scuse me" before but not "'cuse me".

At first I thought it said "Operation: More Love Live!" and thought we'd be getting a hell of a crossover.

i feel kinda weird about the short haired girl being suddenly in love with the MC after being all over Saki during the festival. It feels like she's there just to suffer in silence after helping the MC get the girl.

I felt the same way. I felt sorry for her, like she was just written to be a hopeless third wheel to cause triangle drama.

She's cute, and I was hoping she got her own girlfriend but unfortunately the manga was both short and just not written that way.

I can't believe it, even those two already did it and YuzuMei are still on square one.

DESTRUCTION 100

But hey, cut them some slack, they're not on square one.

They're on square one+.

That mom looked like a ghost there. She even has that dead-mother side braid. Of course, this isn't the kind of series that kills their characters, except in a pretend sense.

Super minor nitpick but you gotta make sure your font and spacing choices don't make the text hard to read. On page 2 "UMIELI" looks like "UMIEU" because the L and I blended together.

Same artist as Miru Tights.

Arigatights.

I love this, but some of the characters look identical to each other and i find it really confusing!

That's kind of the double-edged sword of restricting yourself to real, natural Japanese hair/eye colors, and having 99% of the girls wearing samey school uniforms "seifuku". There are practical, artistic reasons to the whole cliche "you gotta have blue/anime hair".

On the topic of looking identical to each other, I'm wondering if Hachiko really came up with 200 unique Japanese girls' names or they reused some... or if they mixed and matched creating triangle drama! 100 scenes is enough to make basically a universe of yuri!

Bruh, a vomit kiss? HakuAi flashbacks

Be on the lookout for Nakatani's soon to be smash hit, 'Mio Nanami's Adventures In Another Land!'

Coming t-today wednesday

Funny, I didn't make the connection that Mio got truck-kun'd and truck-kun is a popular meme plot device to land the (usually a loser) MC into an isekai.

Really nice manga :) I need to read it all the way through tho- its been ages since I read the early chapters

I never got round to watching the anime for this- is it worth watching? I mean how many chapters does it cover? it can't get much resolved or end in a very satisfying place in so few episodes I'd think?

It ends during their date in the aquarium if I remember correctly.... and it's 1000% recommended watch even if you've read the manga twice or more, it really adds more to the romance sometimes. But as for the subtitles to enjoy it without issues...idk

Had a problem with the subtitles? A blessed anon has made honorifics patches for it.

Meanwhile I'm trying to collect Symphogear subs that aren't Commie/Horrible and it's surprisingly and disappointingly hard.

^ Except Yuu's demi-romanticism is, at best, debatable.

Why? I think it made a lot of sense. She found her pretty and started falling for her as she got to know her better. I found Yuu's feelings quite relatable.

I find terms demiromantic and demisexual pointless, because what people use to call it, I simply call "falling in love". To me falling for someone only after spending long time with them and getting to know them is how falling in love should work. Everyone is different and everyone needs different amount of time to feel comfortable with other person. Giving some arbitrary time limits and labels only alienate people over something that works differently for everyone. I would never call myself demisexual/romantic. I'm more than capable of finding someone attractive and fall for them in very short amount of time if we hit it off yet I also experienced falling for someone only after spending over 2 years with them and initially not finding them attractive at all. If I wanted to label myself 1 way or another I'd just be limiting myself.

Totally agree. This also give me traumatic flashbacks to all the idiots who jumped to conclusions and just assumed Yuu was asexual.

So is “Did something good happen?” a specific Japanese cultural idiom? I’ve seen it a number of times in other manga/anime, along with “Something good must have happened” and other slight variations.

In US English I guess it would be a more general phrase like, “You seem cheerful,” or something like that.

I'm not sure if it's unique to Japan but they use it a lot. It's basically a catch-phrase for certain characters, like Meme from the Monogatari series.

what is this weird creepy trope in anime of kissing someone while they're sleeping?

Actually... does anyone ever succeeds?

I'm trying my best to remember, but all that comes to mind are scenes where the "sleeping" one either wakes up right at that moment (before lips touch, so no kiss) or never was asleep in the first place and catches the perpetrator in the act.

This trope has happened at least once in western media (Snow White), but I can't remember this trope ever be used in anime or manga without some kind of moment killer to interrupt it.

I love this development and hate this cliffhanger.

Slightly annoyed Tatsubon randomly threw in an almost-kiss there. Did Nikaidou really look asleep there??

Where's the NSFW tag?

The ray of light is censoring it, albeit pointlessly.

I finished this a couple of weeks ago and while I agree that the ending is a bit rushed, I'm just glad we finally got a great big "I love you!", big kiss, and a great big "I love you too!" Also, while Hyakuro's translation is shaky, I'm a huge weeb so keeping the honorifics is always a win in my book.

Just letting everyone know that this manga is already finished. U can read it at MangaRock.

I used MangaDex.

Alright, it's Doki Doki Literature Club time!
