This manga reminds me a lot of how I was when I was unemployed.

This Manga reminds me that I am unemployed.

That's not the sort of thing you'd normally forget.

It is when you forget that you got fired for your forgetfulness and keep showing up to work and nobody has the heart to correct you on your error.

Let me put it this way: if you don't tell me it's heinous, I'm not gonna stop doing it ;-P

If no one's complaining about it I think it's safe to assume that it's not horrible or intolerable at least. Personally I don't mind it at all.

Nao has a sister/childhood friend(which is it?)?

I think it's something along the lines of younger girls considering their friends to be sisters.

I probably have to skim the previous chapters again to know what's going on.

I don't believe this is something covered at all in the previous chapters.

Suddenly licking a stranger's neck... she has got a lot of selfcontrol and is a really normal person .__.

She wasn't a stranger.

Personally I thought the main character was the stranger of the two, lol.

SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GONNA MAKE MY OWN DEFINITION OF YURI!

IN FACT, FORGET THE YURI!

I'd rather forget the hookers and blackjack personally.

Touche sis, although in my case I'm not sure if I would define myself as a woman, I don't really define myself as a man either, it's more like because how I am I always felt I would be happier as a woman, but I don't have that need to be one so I'm not trans either, not sure how I could define myself.

Could potentially fall under agender or genderfluid.

Well that was a quick six month wait. I could've sworn it was only a single day.

Wow nice drawings I like it but for tags u should add romance, comedy, (cuz the start was kinda funny so was the reaction the girl made) drama, and maybe add NSFW (not safe for work) cuz the text was a bit sexual (lol love it) and I would like this to progress into something a bit more intense (if ya know what I mean ;) )

You can suggest tags by clicking the button on the manga page. (The pic links to the correct page btw.)

2025

Seriously, the release of doujins/manga is generally at the end (in this case, the credits tell you from when it is), and quite a lot of people have already said that this was released last year in May sometime. So, which June would that be?

Apparently it's not very logical to maybe read a short thread before asking what would be an extremely obvious question to ask. I see this sort of thing happen on basically every forum I frequent.

Most likely since, when i was opening it one by one to show it to you, every page was opening properly.

I'll get the issue fixed in the next update. For now I'd just recommend letting a page finish loading before clicking another last post link.

Also sometimes at first it doesn't work, but once I jump between pages few times, it suddenly starts to, so I guess it is the similar issues like with Last Post?

This may be helpful to know. Cause at the moment I have absolutely no idea what the issue is. When I manually enter the code into the console it returns the correct result but it seems that for some reason on specific mangas it never even tries to run the correct code despite running everything else near that bit of code.

It's definitely not going to be quite the same as the last posts link though since it seems to be a reliably reproducible issue rather than an issue with loading things too quickly. Everyone who's reported to me on the manga I linked had the same issue and I had the same issue on the one Thiaguinho-sama linked as well as the ones you linked.

Speaking of Magnifier, window with settings is so long, it goes beyond screen. Not sure if there are any Valid Size Types further, but since the last I can see is upper half of the "px", I guess there are? It spreads from Thingifier settings and since it is in thee middle of the browser, I guess that is why it isn't high enough. Or maybe only I have this issue.

I've already got a fix for this on my to-do list. I'll try to get that into the next update as well so it's less of an issue. I'm going to be replacing the current text input field with a dropdown box that contains only the valid options and, hopefully, tooltips for each option.

Edit: Also the px entry is the last one. It just cuts off the padding is all. I tested the current layout down to 1024x768 resolution which is the lowest anyone who would be using my script should be running.

Too bad it comes out in June but the wait is worth it!! XD

Might consider reading the first page of the thread which addresses the wait.

Thiaguinho-sama posted:

about last post working randomly, I noticed now that if you open multiple pages using Last Post not all work properly, some just open the last page instead of last post.

Oh! I know what's happening here I think. It's because clicking the last post link sets an internal variable while loading the resulting link unset the variable. So if you open several threads in a short enough timespan that way it will result in the variable being set several times in a row and then when the pages load the first page has unset the variable so the others never make the correct check. I'll add a fix to this to my to-do list for the next update.

Well, that covers two stories (My Beloved and the main story in Fragments of Love) anyhow, although in both the characters seem happy enough at the end.

But because they're not the characters I wanted to get together that makes them bad obviously!

Yes. But it doesn't seem to be only manga. I checked few at random and in some it works, but in some it doesn't.

Would you mind linking me a few where it doesn't work for you? Might help some in figuring out why it randomly breaks.

Also it isn't ultra important, but Last Post thingy seems to work randomly. It usually get me to some of latest posts, around 3-5 last from the topic. Rarely to the last post, and rarely it centers on it. In Yuri is a serious business thread, it even get me to 4 not existence page, when there were still only 3.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the first bit. It won't actually center on the last post unless your screen is low enough resolution simply because with a high enough resolution there's not enough page to do so. it'll just take you to the bottom in those cases.

For that last bit though that's a quirk in the way it currently works though which will be fixed in the future. It makes use of the unread posts link in threads you've already read and there's a quirk with that link which results in a full page being considered to be one page more than actually exists. Thiaguinho-sama actually reported it awhile back and I know how to fix it, it's just a fairly low priority fix at the moment.

Next update I'll probably fix that when I fix a few other things though. This magnifier issue I want to get fixed plus there's a few other issues with the magnifier which are a lot more minor. There's one fixed in my local copy where the magnifier doesn't show where your mouse is until you move the mouse. There's also an issue I need to figure out where you tend to have to hit Z twice or middle click twice to even open the magnifier in the first place. (Though it opens and closes fine after that until you switch pages.) Edit: Also there's one fairly minor issue which I'd like to fix where middle clicking a link still works with the magnifier open which I'd like to prevent.

This update probably won't come before the end of the year however.

This is a bit of a contentless bump since there won't be any updates for awhile but I want to verify this is actually an issue. When using the magnifier does this manga refuse to actually show an image in the magnifier for everyone?

I want to verify this isn't something on my end because I've already spent like a half hour trying to figure out what's going on here to no avail. For some reason the magnifier's image isn't getting set even though the rest of the code is running just fine. The lines both above and below the bit where the image gets set work fine but it like just skips over the image code for some reason.

I even copy+pasted the code I'm using to get the image path into the console and it worked perfectly fine so I have no idea what's even up here.

Satsuki posted:

I consider any manga yuri if there's a lesbian/bisexual female character (and doesn't have a male romantic partner).

I think that's a bit too vague. You should at least specify that their sexuality has at least some amount of focus in the story. Ie: A character who is incidentally gay but whose sexual preference or romantic relationships aren't at all a focus wouldn't really count for yuri but a side character whose sexual preference/relationships are a focus, even a little, would.

I'd include one-sided feelings in that too, since it doesn't have to be mutual. Or at least not yet during the timeframe of the story.

Fair enough point. I was mostly thinking along the lines of a lot of people tending to avoid things such as the subtext tag.

Although honestly stuff from the west involving the same thing is "lesbian" as opposed to "yuri" in the same way that something like, I dunno, Lumbarjanes is "comics" rather than "manga". It's just that we're using a term that the Japanese use for all of it to refer to only what comes from a certain region, or in a certain range of styles. So where we might draw a distinction in the case of the Carmilla webseries, Japanese viewers would probably not.

Personally I wouldn't make a distinction really. I'd consider something like Korra x Asami as much yuri as I would Homura x Madoka. The only distinction I'd make is for the medium. Anything drawn, whether it be anime, western cartoons, manga, or comics (or just random art) I'd classify as yuri personally. Anything live action or simply written without art (unless the literature is fan fiction of one of the things I mentioned earlier) would be lesbian romance.

Not even that, a lot of individual people seem to have their own personal definitions.

That's probably true, lol. I think it's just easier to consider it all yuri personally. With yuri being defined as something along the lines of Cartoon/anime/manga-based romance and/or sexual relations between two female characters. Anything less than that should probably be considered subtext and anything involving live people (even if it's something like a fictional show) doesn't really seem to fit with yuri and would instead be better off being labelled as lesbian romance.

The difference according to them is how far girls go, Yuri contains sex and adult content unlike Shoujo Ai that keep it hidden (like normal Shoujo stories tends to). Yes, in that sense they mean the same, so more the reason to just use word Yuri.

It's a lot more simple and straightforward if we just stick to "yuri" anyways since the distinction between what people consider shoujo ai and yuri varies greatly depending on where you go.

I was just trying to remember which one this was earlier. I can only ever remember the conversation between Junko and Madoka's father at the very end.

The one you're describing sounds a lot like Chouchou Nannan, which I found a bit confusing when it was coming out chapter-by-chapter, but I re-read it yesterday and it's fantastic when you read it all at once.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of. It actually appears I managed to mix it up with My Beloved. And I agree actually. I had a bit of trouble following it (I have that issue with most mangas though) as it was being released.

That was the one where the MC's love interest was all nuts about what amounts to Marimite, and wanted an Onee-sama. Which the MC's slutty big sister played for her, and ended up dumping her because it was silly. The MC breaks up with her as a friend over the idea that romantic feelings between girls weren't real. Time skip, and friend is still feeling bad about it in college, runs into MC who's now happy with a new girlfriend and thinks she overreacted back then, and she'd laugh it off now. Friend decides to move on, and there are strong hints that she's got a relationship waiting for her with her own friend. Good End.

Right, that's the one. I was mixing it up with another. (The one where the one friend likes her best friend and her friend is aware of it but doesn't seem to properly appreciate it and despite showing some interest in another girl is still unhappy when other girl's friend starts showing interest in her friend which seems to be at least partly mutual.) And I agree with you. It was sad that their friendship ended up in shambles over that but as you said, in the end it still turned out to be a good end.

A lot of people were upset with My Beloved because the MC didn't get together with her first crush, even though she's shown to have a fulfilling relationship and a good sense of perspective on the whole thing later. in part I think because of this drama allergy a lot of people have, and that weird "Takemiya is all about aaaaaaaangst" idea.

I forget which one My Beloved was (haven't reread it in quite awhile) but there was a similar outcry with Fragments of Love when the main storyline ended despite everything ending reasonably conclusively and with everyone actually more or less satisfied.
