Whatever, I love Jin's art and storytelling both. And I don't usually have a lot of trouble telling her characters apart.

Even if the faces she draws were actually identical (they're not though, they might be similar but there's still differences) the rest of the character designs tend to make it reasonably difficult to confuse characters, though not impossible when there's a lot of characters such as either Seasons or Girlish Sweet. (I forget which I'm thinking of off the top of my head. Though it's partly due to some characters' appearances changing over time as well as changing whether they refer to someone by family or given name.)

It'd sure be nice if Mangagamer's site started working properly. I haven't been able to login for 20 hours now so I can't get the damned game.

That way the people who are here for yuri and nothing but the yuri can stop at page 18 without being lulled into a false sense of security.

It's just basic etiquette.

It's not even that big a deal, lol. You can always just close the tab when you reach it. And if simply seeing two guys on a page is enough to ruin your day you have far larger issues to be worrying about than whether something is tagged correctly.

The Takemiya Jin one, which has a BL short story but it isn't porn, therefore it's not yaoi.

Dynasty doesn't recognize shoujo-ai (GL) as different from yuri therefore BL still be yaoi even though it doesn't have the porn.

It still wouldn't be yaoi though. It'd be more like yaoi crush or something or maybe subtext though it's a bit more blatant than subtext.

What the fuck does this tag actually mean anyway?

Clearly it means that the tagged chapter/manga isn't yaoi? I thought it was kinda self-explanatory personally.

Ah I had to change my settings to "Allow Adult Content" to access the script lol

Yeah, sorry about that. I'll try to make that more clear in the op. It has to be tagged that way to be allowed on GreasyFork for whatever idiotic reason. I really don't get it since it's not like the script is the site itself and anyone looking for a script on the site is likely to know what kind of contents a site has beforehand anyways.

I bought it on mangagamer site. I got standalone DRM-free game + steamkey. So it's a win-win.

Oh, good. This will only be the second thing I've bought off MangaGamer (first being the visual novel Kara no Shojo) and the first that had been released on Steam as well so I wasn't sure.

You can buy it directly on MangaGamer if you want, don't know if it contributes to the developers though.

I'd assume it does, otherwise there'd be no reason for the devs to sell it there. And that's good to know then. I missed the page when I went looking somehow. Though I wonder if it doesn't just get you a Steam key since it's tagged as "Category: Romance, School, Yuri, SteamKey". Though I suppose that's a moot point if it means Valve's not profiting off it.

Woah, CDN $32.88, and that's with the discount. Not for me, I'm afraid.

I'm more disappointed that it seems to only be on Steam personally. I hate Steam exclusives. Makes supporting decent developers while not supporting Valve's shitty business practices nearly impossible.

It says Helter- Skelter in the first chapter. That's one of Lightning's gun blades.

I'm pretty sure it's probably a reference to this and has nothing to do withFinal Fantasy.

I would imagine that there are strong messages to that effect in Japanese culture, all the more in recent years as they try to combat the falling birth rate without actually changing the root causes.

Yeah, but my point is that it really depends entirely on the person in question. It's not an objective fact and it's not objectively false either.

Kids + Marriage = Absolute Happiness? Methinks not

That's pretty subjective. There's plenty of people whose greatest desire is to have a family of their own and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. My sister is more or less like that (though for her it was just that she always wanted her own kids) and when she finally had her daughter last year I've never seen her happier in her entire life.

they're pretty nice from what ive seen and as long as you are willing to accept criticism, they will help you out. everyone's gotta start somewhere, you know? and really, the worst thing that could happen is them telling you to take a little more time practicing and try again.

I've only personally interacted with Gulf Standard and one other person who volunteered to help with cleaning for Comprehensive Tovarisch but they've been pleasant to work with so far in my experience.

I don't remember hearing of that feature before, though I might have seen it here someplace; it might be useful. I'm mostly self taught on Photoshop, learning features from the help files, by experimenting, and sometimes by random chance, so I appreciate it. I'm sure there are many other useful features I don't know about.

I'm actually the same way. The few shortcut keys I actually make use of I ended up learning after stumbling across one of those infographics pics on Imgur. I mostly only ever use spacebar for navigating the image, 1-0 for brush opacity (this one is fairly recent though), X to switch between my primary and secondary palette colors, and that shift+click deal.

There's something in Photoshop that I've sometimes accidentally started, so that when I try to use a keyboard shortcut to a tool tip, instead it starts typing into a tiny window in the upper left corner. Everything else works normally. I've no idea how I get into that or what it is, and the only way I know to get out of it is to restart the program; it's really annoying. I don't suppose you have any idea what that is or how to stop it do you? Just thought I'd ask. I'm running the very old version CS2.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what that is. I use Photoshop CC 2016 so that may not even be in the version I use. I'd recommend having a look at the last two pages of this though. It lists what keyboard shortcuts do what in CS2 and the last two pages list them in order of shortcut key so you could have a look at things you commonly use and see if you can find it.

I can't draw a straight line either. This may or may not be helpful to you, but when I'm redrawing lines, I usually use the line tool, even if the line curves or weaves. For those, I simply draw it in short segments with the line tool. At least in my case, it comes out much better than using the brush or something; I always end up with ragged lines using that. Well, different methods will work for different people, so this was just a thought.

If you're using Photoshop you can click with the paintbrush then shift+click in another to draw a straight line between the two points in case you didn't know. As you said different methods will work best for different people but with higher resolution raws I personally find it a lot easier to use that method over the line tool most of the time. Though with lower resolution scans I often just use the line tool.

Not too bad. Two panels. One has a speckled (an airbrushed look) circle that had dialogue through it. The other is part of a uniform. My inability to draw a straight line is hampering me here. :) It is part of the sleeve.

If it's pretty simple then I could probably do it for you. Feel free to email me at Onyx_Alpha3173(at)Yahoo.com about it. Sounds like one that shouldn't take too terribly long for me to do.

Thats too sad. I really like both series. And Kase-san is one of the cutest yuri out there. The characters are so adorable. I can't believe Phyis just left it hanging. I hope someone will pick up the project again.

To be fair Phyis didn't just up and quit or anything. She had some sort of serious health problem that put her out of commission. (Edit: Gulf Standard got to it before me so never mind.)

Someone will probably eventually pick it up though. If nothing else then once Comprehensive Tovarisch is done I might have a go at it myself if nobody else has picked it up by then. That could be awhile though because there's 8 or more chapters left in Comprehensive Tovarisch that I know of. (Also I still have stuff I should do for Kawaii Scans as well, it's just on the back burner for me currently since the person who volunteered to typeset for Comprehensive Tovarisch kinda flaked out on us leaving me to learn it myself.)

I can't believe no one is taking that job

From what I've seen a lot of the series she did haven't been picked up by another editor yet for some reason. Comprehensive Tovarisch had the same issue until recently and its last release was right around the same time as Kase-san's last release. Might have something to do with people not actually realizing they need editors. I know I wasn't aware of that fact until someone mentioned Comprehensive Tovarisch a few weeks ago in another thread and I didn't know Phyis was the editor for this one until I went and checked shortly before my last post.

Um. Hello? Is anyone still translating this series or is it no longer being translated?

There's a chapter on Yuri Project but it has no editor currently. It looks like Phyis was the editor for this series and from I've been told she's out of scanlation indefinitely.

I'm looking for some assistance in doing a little bit of redrawing on one page. A little help with a small bit of translation would be welcome, too. My translation helper is in Japan at the moment but I am in no hurry. This chapter would be almost ready to upload if I could finish these last little things.

How complicated of a page is it?
