Internet Moomin trolls are okay.

The only kind of internet troll I can truly approve of. (The books were a childhood favorite of mine, and I still love the art style. <3)

Takemiya Jin is a Moomins fan too. She even did fanart!

Seriously? That's awesome! She's one of my absolute favorite yuri mangaka, so that's really cool!

The face covering one... the blue text backwords reads "if it be founded it would be terrible nice." I assume it's supossed to read like a "I can haz cheezburger" thing but... what's the "nice" there for?

Well, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, as I'm mostly unaware of what's on Lezhin. (I know that Pulse and Lily Love have been published there, but that's about it.) However, if you're just looking for a buffet-style webtoon site, there's LINE's webtoon site.
Most of the content is from Korean authors, translated into english (sometimes other languages too). They've been adding a lot of content from other regions, and have some sort of publishing thing for... I guess the best word I can think of is "amateurs". In terms of yuri, the vast majority of romance is het, though it seems like they've begun working with authors of LGBTQ+ comics more often recently. Most of that is from western authors as far as I've seen (which, frankly, isn't terribly shocking, but if the country of origin bothers you somehow, there's that to consider).

If you're looking specifically for LGBTQ+ works, I highly recommend Always Human, it's very inclusive and exceedingly (maybe even excessively! :P) positive, a nice soothing read to be sure. It finished a little over half a year ago, and I miss it dearly. orz

edit: by the way, what's happening with Lezhin? It sounds alarming, especially considering that at least one of my favorite authors has their work published there.
edit 2: ah, nevermind, looked into it myself... WOW that's shitty. Just... SUPER shitty. What the fuck?

Even if Yumura likes guys too, and ends up choosing to be socially "straight" as an adult, her physical interest in Kurahashi is pretty undeniable. She's at least bi, even if she decides not to explore that part of herself in the future. I'm pretty fine with that outcome, if only because they specifically and consciously allow Kurahashi to reject that path for herself. For her, at least, it's not a phase, and they don't treat it as one. They might stay together, or they might not - but the good ending isn't contingent on their relationship status. They found something in each other that allowed them to understand themselves and their place in the world a little better, and the experience let them grow as people.

I guess that's satisfying enough for me because it didn't really feel like a love story? The love was the means, and not the end, so the fact that it didn't end with them conclusively together felt fine. I didn't feel as if the story tricked me into getting invested in their romance and their feelings for each other, so it was fine for the ending to emphasise their growth instead.

^This.

I was very satisfied by the conclusion.

edit: And Yumura's parents were great. They really did care a lot about Yumura and each other. (I wonder what that secret technique was?)

I just discovered this and oh my god, I'm crying, it's so beautiful. I'm just so happy for them.

This is the most beautiful love. It's real and it's amazing and it's wonderful.

May they always be happy, and may we all find joy as they have.

2018 and there still aren't enough adult life manga. I'd give anything for something like a domestic-slice-of-life manga about two lesbians raising an adorable child. Something like Yotsuba except gayer.

Make it happen Japan.

Edit: I guess there is Ohana Holoholo, but something sweeter would be nice to have too. Preferably drawn by Takemiya Jin, Takana Saku or Ooshima Tomo. Dowman Sayman might be a fun one too, but... probably not their style.

Also I'm glad that CEO is not actually trying to destroy their relationship like I had imagined in previous chapters

Yeah, I think it was probably a case of her wanting to protect Jang Mi by making sure Guk Hwa is an ok person. Of course, that's usually something you shouldn't do on behalf of someone else, but maybe she was being particularly protective what with this horrible piece-of-shit ex Jang Mi (and Guk Hwa) are currently dealing with.

This is so cute, it's driving me batty!

...I'll see myself out.

By the blush on the other girl, I suspect that there's more than "friends" on her mind too.

The "doki doki"-ing would suggest that as well.

Hair-down Nico is way sexier than she has any right to be. Somehow she goes from cutesy to drop-dead gorgeous instantly.

really tempted to recolor her throwing up with rainbows.

DO IT.

last page left a bad taste in my mouth but oh well

What? Why's that?

Lots of Kabedon

Aya's left leg on page 17 looks very odd. This was great though. The conclusion put a big smile on my face.

I couldn't take this seriously after the scene with her father and step-mother. It was so incredibly melodramatic that I thought it must have been a dream-sequence. I'd like to think that the whole story was actually another book being written, and the author was actually struggling with her writing in real life.

twentygayteen off to a good start

Agreed.

Sciiiiiience babies! Making your dreams come true!

OH! StuCo as in Student Council. I thought she meant stucco like the construction material. <_>

Should this have childifcation for the kid? Kinda looks like a babby Mari to me. Very cute though, the third years are adorable.

I need more of this comfy domestic SoL stuff. Hecatia and Ms. "Friend" Junko sure seem like good pals! :P

This is basically how I envision every LL OT3 of each grade. 3rd years would have Nozomi in the middle. 1st years have Rin in the middle.

It works for LLSS too. 1st years have... Any one of them could be in the middle if you wanted them to be. 2nd years got Chika. 3rd years with Mari.

Of course, you could usually make a case for any of them being the middle girl, this is mostly just what I find amusing to envision.

Kanan's goofy smile is the greatest.

Argh, that cliffhanger... Anyone know how much of this has yet to be translated? I'm always looking forward to more.

I have a suggestion, if you think it would be appropriate to include:
Instructions of some sort on how to contact an admin (or something similar) for things like grievances with a moderator or appeals on bans might be a good thing to include in the OP. If you would want that, that is.
Edit: Instructions on who to send a send a message to, is basically what I mean.

Also, out of curiosity, what are the forums running on? I've noticed it doesn't seem to use the bbcode I've seen elsewhere. I'm hardly an expert, but it would neat to know.
