me, almost two months ago:

*checks calendar*

I'm sticking to my prediction that the earliest we'll see a resolution to this will be at (around) Christmas. so either two or three weeks.

来週からお話再開します！
New chapter next week. 2/9 <3

me: *shivering, jittering, quivering, babbling incoherently* maybe we'll get something good for Valentine's Day?

There's one thing that drives me bonkers about Dynasty Scans: Manga with no description

no amount of tags can make up for that.

Usually i read manga in Tachiyomi (or, Mihon i guess, these days), but with stuff on Dynasty Scans, i find myself using the "migrate" function just to read the description. You know, to find out, is a story enticing enough to get traumatised over.

Is there anything that can be done about missing descriptions?

Amazaki Suika agrees, basketball is the hottest sport for (aspiring) lesbians

It’s true if your crush stands too close to you it will make you pregnant

yeah, it's science, everybody knows that

so… is this an endorsement?

Arka has uploaded a new chapter to MD, but not yet here…

Comic #2 is a follow-up to A Story About a High School Girl Prince.

I would like to imagine that comic #2 is the prequel to A Story About a High School Girl Prince. Somewhere out of frame of the three doofuses, the birth of The Prince of The Enemy Kingdom happens.

i also very happy that Tong Tong's mom's project seems to be working!

Let's see, each full box/storage has about 12 lip balm which is 18 boxes for the ones we could see (assuming 12 for the cut offs for simplicity). The current one is at 6 balm. And 1 lip balm is ¥208.So if we calculate ((12x18)+6)x208. Girl, spent about ¥46,176 so almost $300. This girl needs better hobby, I swear kids these days.

my calculation for the current number of lip balms:

(12×8×3)+(12×4)+6
> 342

(3 shelves, each holding 12… thingies… filled from right to left. first 8 levels are completely filled, and then on the next level 4 are filled completely, and then six on the final shelf) multiplied by 208

342×208
> 71136

is roughly €438

yes.

no way, Tong Tong's momma is waaaay too straight

I find the people who are initially "too straight" become more flexible once that initial barrier is broken (which has already happened). It's replaced with curiosity and now there's this whole new world they didn't know of before.

And also that thing bout pasta being straight until it gets...

i think what i was trying to get at is that Tong Tong's mom is about as straight as Tong Tong is lesbian: she is completely unaware of what even makes men attractive, to the point that in a hetero normative World she seemed asexual. Tong Tong's mom is similarly completely unaware of what could make one women sexually or romantically attractive to another woman.

Lin Luxi otoh, it's perfectly aware of her own sexuality (and her kinks) and actively cosplays a het girl (see Chapter 1).

Can this manga's art be classified as Shoujo Art?

Is there any Yuri series whose art is as sparkling as Shoujo manga?

i just started reading The Feelings We All Must Endure and that looks like straight up Shoujo, with its panel and dialogue layout. — Until you start actually reading. The protagonists are all university+ age, and discussed topics also don't quite seem to be the standard shoujo demographic stuff

all that to say: what is and isn't shoujo probably has drastically changed in the past 20 years.

I feel like the "Evil Prince's" design is fairly unusual. Normally I'd expect that type of character to either have blond hair or shorter hair; I'm not sure I've seen a delinquent gyaruu with shoulder length black hair before.

Some people don't want to dye their hair, just to do bad things to you.

i am forced to reread all of this every time a new chapter is released. Yes, terrible.

there's a few more chapters: https://comic.pixiv.net/works/11352

complete with, domestic bliss (pierced by a dating app), shopping in IKEA for furniture (table, bed, and maybe kids), and Ema's band mates surprised about her new look, and Ayame surprised about her performance.

i can imagine Tong Tong'a mom would be someone who has… genre awareness.

there are two other authors in the anthology this is part of, but Amazaki Suika('s work) seems to be the headliner
https://xfolio.jp/en/portfolio/mountgirl/works/380367
still curious what the other chapters are like, but they're all locked behind a paywall

It's impressive that a one-shot has 5 pages of responses.

welcome to Amazaki Suika's art.

why do i love every bit of art that Amazaki Suika puts out?

added Glasses as tag suggestion

l1v's is just pure google translate lmao(can actually prove). they also got tons of things wrong

been reading Purely by Accident and really really appreciating all the translation notes.

I think Saki was, at some subconscious level, aware of Konno deliberately playing with her feelings all along,

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/summer_lemon_and_overlay_ch06#26

so that slap was a payback for the emotion pain she caused her.

we see her in pain already, before the slap.
that's imo the climax of chapter 7.
Konno has already left a mark on Saki.
maybe she's just returning the favour?

looks like L1v picked this up at the same time… but… uh… their summary is a little bit more confusing.

Author avatar spotted at the bottom of page 9 :P

i went looking for the author avatar, and spotted this announcement:
