This art is lovely first and foremost. I will say also it's funny that this gives the impression that Mutsumi might be a little taller than Nyamu, or at least around the same height.

When the standing heights in series are more along the lines of this

I don’t read that much of theirs, but they also don’t have that much and still make you scroll through a landslide of BL. Most recently I’ve gotten Boys Gilding the Lily Shall Die?! which I like and they seem to have done an ok job with including speed of volumes.

Just now I clicked into their Pride section and the GL they list look like het to me by the cover and the fact I’ve never seen them around these parts. Hmmm.

Thanks, and huh...their pride sale page has what looks to be a hetero Shoujo/Josei section under the Yuri...that's the same series as the Yuri section. I think someone did a whoopsie lol

Tokyopop has licensed the series for a Feb release. I totally missed any announcement somehow but it’s up for preorder at the usual places already.

Big couple of months for Sal. S2 coming out, Black and White omnibus coming out. This news.

How is Tokyopop's quality these days? I'd love to buy this series, and I've always meant to collect Still Sick.

I think the author confess her married issues here...

I don't think we should read into her private life.

Bad news. Volume 3 is described as the last one (完結巻) on Amazon listing. The axe has come for another series.

Well that's unfortunate. I've been really enjoying this series so far, and I love this mangaka's art a lot

I am sigh going to read the isekai.

One way or another, eventually they will get you. :D

lol and the thing is isekai covers a lot. Ultimately Mario, Narnia, Wizard of Oz, and varied classics are isekai. There's various isekai anime and manga that I love, and ones that I'm not into that I ignore. I judge them as they come and generally keep an open mind.

Donkey Kong there's various things we're going to have to agree to disagree on. Keeping up the back and forth isn't going to get us anywhere, and I have a feeling the mods are going to come in soon. Though I do need to say that I think you owe Perlen an apology. Perlen stated that they are Filipino and were giving their perspective on Filipino artists, and your comments toward them in that regard have been very rude and all around hostile.

Speaking of Khyle, both him and Centurii are Filipino. Being also one myself, I can tell that they came from the recent breed of teenage boys who grew up on American culture war RW slop online and think that saying the N-word is funny. I know because I almost fell down that same pipeline myself but had to see boys my age around me who did.

It's not surprising really, Filipinos never experienced living with black people and other oppressed folks. For us, it's either all in the distant past (our history of colonization) or far away from us (in western melting pot countries). So when bigots online package racism inside "jokes" and "dark humor", we eat it all up without much thought. And that's not even mentioning how racist we can be towards black people and other nationalities to begin with, with slurs and all.

Considering all that cultural context and certain stuff Centurii posts... I simply advise DS to steer clear from their stuff. Seriously, it's really not worth it giving them any more attention.

Thank you for your insight, it's interesting to hear your perspective on these artists. I've seen a little bit of the impact of American culture war on other countries, and it really sucks to see the hate seeping out of the country that I live in and how it's making people around the world more hateful. It really feels like America and especially it's current state is a very bad influence on the world.

I also think you make a good point with your last sentence, that DS as a community doesn't have to give certain artists more attention and visibility.

There's also arguments to be made about Khyle and there's at least another artist whose name is slipping my mind that likes controversial "humor".

Oh I remember reading something Khyle made making me really uncomfortable, but can't remember why or which one. Is there some pic* you can point to? I could need a concrete reason to complete blocklist them, at least in my mind.

* Better if in link instead of embedded image. My browser is behaving weird and not displaying embedded image sometimes, I have no idea what's going on.

For me at least the Holocaust one I mentioned in a previous comment is the main one that comes to mind, though he has a lot of weird works with hidden details, and sometimes those details have fucked up implications. He'll also do political and racial stuff. A lot of his works uploaded here are on the tamer end, but you do have one like this https://dynasty-scans.com/images/33496?tag_id=22650 - and as far as I'm reading it the "punchline" is rape.

Also ah that's what I was thinking of as well, in the follow up (Next) image you have user "DeadlyCookie98" mentioning that it was Snegovski who drew nazi Miku.

It's unfortunate because once in awhile these artists will make something I like, generally limited to what's uploaded on Dynasty already, but then do weird stuff and it's just...damn.

Awesome to Ren's new work! Very excited to read this, thanks for the translation!

On an adjacent note about artists, I still think Nyantcha and Ohisashiburi need to be removed from here. I think they're both weird homophobes, and Nyantcha is infamous for rage baiting + being disgusting in general.

Why not just complain about the person in that specific person’s thread if they’re on here?

There's also arguments to be made about Khyle and there's at least another artist whose name is slipping my mind that likes controversial "humor".

Have that convo in that dude’s threat then? Organization and whatnot?

Keeping forums relevant to the topic??

As I said it's as an adjacent side note. Since the topic of artists being removed from the website is relevant to this conversation at hand. Bringing up the topic in each artist thread and linking them all together into the same conversation of artists that could be removed from the website isn't practical. This is a simple and singular thread where a controversial artist is being discussed, and so artists that are also controversial are worth noting in the greater context of the conversation with the notion of removal.

And it's not just the art itself. The replies are full of people saying their countries were totally not awful to their natives. Because obviously people born there would have absolutely no reason to whitewash their own countries' dark past. Neither would their history textbooks, nuh-uh.

Bro, they’re def rage baiting or just dumb to take a silly artwork srsly— when Centurii is obviously joking— their whole Twitter is basically just shit posting

The issue with "rage-baiting" and "shit-posting" via racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and so forth is that they're still being that thing. A homophobic "joke" is still homophobic, a racist "joke" is still racist, and so on.

This also typically has overlap with people that make "jokes" about being (X) horrible thing on social media and related, and it's a way for people to get away with being open about what they are by pretending it's a joke.

^Lmao, at the very least their jam sessions work up more of a sweat (and who knows what else) than sex does on average. Which on that note I feel for whoever has to clean up after them, whenever they play the place gets soaked in fluids.

I can only speak for myself, but I've never really been offended by a Khyle image. If you aren't grossed out they're ultimately... kinda boring? Like if all you're ever going to make is "edgy" stuff, you don't actually have very many topics to pick from and they start repeating themselves.

&

Yeah I think Khyle had an unintentional redemption arc, so to speak

Some of Khyle's work is...alright, but it still bothers me that they did that weird Spy x Family Holocaust piece. I think since then they've had at least one work where the "punchline" is rape, though maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Ohisashiburi

Oh, the guy who created a lesbian couple just to draw them getting NTR'd. I didn't recognize his name.

Yuuup, that creep.

^I'd bring up GreenTeaNeko but it's been ages since they were last posted here

Ah I didn't even know that they're here, but yeah I'd agree with that. They're...really weird to say the least
