As always with Morinaga Milk, this looks very cute. I have one problem with the translation, though; saying "gyaru" instead of "gal". I've always felt that sort of transliteration to make an English word sound Japanese is insulting to the Japanese. As if you're laughing at the Japanese for saying "gyaru" instead of "gal" or 'doriftuto" instead of "drift" or "dorama" instead of "drama." The Japanese are saying English words. It's just the translator insisting on using the Japanese transliteration of the word instead of just using the English word the Japanese are already saying.

Here's an explanation. Normally, if the Japanese uses an English word, I'll use that word in the translation if at all possible. In this case though, it's not possible since gal means two completely different things to English speakers and Japanese speakers. Please see the translators note on page 2 for an explanation. For a more thorough explanation, search gyaru on the web.

I think what motojin means is that Seven Seas officially used "Gal" for "Gyaru" in their manga, and others official licensors have as well. I don't really care either way, myself, but when I read "gal" in manga it's usually referring to the gyaru-type girl.

Are these two girls from another story?

Doubt it. Sometimes her characters tend to look the same.

Don't know how this will play out, hopefully not as fast paced as the author's other series but it looks like it's going to be interesting.

It's only 2 chapters.

Ending does not give it proper closure, it's pretty abrupt.

from the Table of Contents at http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/cocytus_ch01#4 there are 4 chapters an an omake, however the 3rd and 4th chapters are titled Moratorium. Not sure if it it's the same storyline as the first 2 chapters...

I also question the decision to have cock in the title of a yuri manga.

I know you're probably just shitposting, but:

Cocytus, meaning "the river of wailing", is a river in the underworld in Greek mythology. Cocytus flows into the river Acheron, across which is the underworld. There are five rivers encircling Hades. The River Styx is perhaps the most famous; the other rivers are Phlegethon, Lethe, and Acheron.

As a side note, I heard that the term trap is demeaning. As demeaning as calling a woman bitch. Just a little 2 cent from me.

That's not necessarily true. There are trans people who think like that and there are those who don't mind at all. It's just like one person being offended by something and another person being totally okay with it.

This pairing makes no sense and I don't like it, but

felt like i read this one before

It was linked here from another site a while back, that's where I originally read it. Maybe the same for you?

Yeah, a few of us translated this on danbooru, before Albert was forced to yank it. ;_;

to the lovely scanlators, Please typeset "Milk" on the last panel of the last page of Chapter 6. If you don't know that ミルク is milk, it's not as funny.

2 questions: does anyone know how many chapters in total, and how often are there chapters released? thanks.

1st Q: I don't think anybody (well, maybe Hobunsha) knows how many chapters there will be.
2nd Q: Answered by kaisui just 11 posts above yours:

Question: How many more chapters are already out through Yuri Hime? Just hoping we have a little backlog before it goes to once a month waiting.

3 more and its 2 months waiting for Yuri-Hime
http://wiki.yuriproject.net/manga:yuri_hime

So, as this post was on 9 December, as of now, Yuri Hime vol 45 will have BGMRSP Chap 9 when it's released in 2 days on 18 Sept. http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00MNM36PY Yuri Hime is a bi-monthly magazine (every 2 months), so Yuri Project currently has 6 more chapters to catch up (7 when vol 46 gets scanned).

I wanna hang out with them XD!

Oh by the way, I've never been in that kind of bar before so just for future reference, how do you fold tips?

Length-wise across the long part, not like she did it.

pg 08 seem to have an empty speech bubble, I am guessing that is the second "EHH!?"

Go read the credits page...

Ah, Morinaga. I know they say that any publicity is good publicity, but that doesn't really apply if even you doesn't know what the hell is going on in your own manga.

Actually, writers say this is a common thing to happen. You (the writer) start out going one direction and then sometimes the characters take over and it kind of becomes a life unto itself and all you (the writer) do is just go with it.

Ishibashi is a great character, ought to be more like her.

This needs to have http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/koigokoro_metronome as the previous chapter

Really sweet and lovely! Yayoi's art is pretty awesome these days too. Can't wait for the sequel (doesn't look like we'll have to either)!

This needs to have http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/koiiro_etude as the next chapter in the reader

This is actually the third part in this anthology.
The order goes like this:
1. Prologue
(lots of unrelated stuff in the anthology)
2. Setting Sun
3. Crystal Sugar and Machine Gun
4. Involuable logic
5. Memai Asteraythem

So, wait a sec. They're selling something that's probably not aiming at otakus in a place that only have otakus around... Mind Crush?!

The guide? Ah I'm sure it's only aimed at people who are in denial about being otakus. There are a lot of those running around.

Hopefully we get a book report later.

I actually think, from the cover, that it's a Girls Love guide for otaku girls to "catch" other otaku girls. Maybe...

She stayed up all night reading the yuri doujin.

Yup, Akina's totally gone. There's no returning for her (thankfully). ^__^

There was no need for you to be antagonistic in the first place, their comment was just an opinion on the language while you just took a jab directly at them.

Why do people have to start messing with each other almost everywhere.

I agree it's silly to start an argument over but the original comment was a pretty douchey one anyway, could've just said their opinion but they turned it into a little attack on the translators instead.

Okay, now I wanna know what the actual moonrunes were. does anybody have a screen capture for the raw for that page?

Um, OrangePekoe, you might want to replace the version you have here with these:
