Ah, yes, this is a good one. Glad I read it again, reminds me I hadn't added it to my list of favourite one-shots.

So . . . somewhere out there, is there a bear-sparrow girl falling in love with the only real sparrow girl it's ever met?

So, so much for the bears being just a metaphor, huh.

Am I the only person here who isn't interested in the anime?

and why wouldn't you be?

Nothing against it. I don't watch nearly as much anime as I read manga, and I'm a massive Morishima Akiko fan but not particularly an Ikuhara fan, so.

Well this just proves that even 100 million years ago, falling for a straight girl will always lead to pain.

I dunno. Tyra-chan might just be confused. She's young, new to these kinds of feelings, clearly hasn't learned to tell the difference between her "desire to devour" and her, um, "desire to devour" . . . and she's certainly not afraid to transgress against societal norms for the sake of love. I mean, a herbivore!
I say Spino-chan has a chance and it could work out just fine.

I'm liking it so far. And in ch.1 there is wisdom:
THE CHOCOLATE IS INNOCENT!
Words to live by.

My biggest problem with this is that someone in the world woke up one morning and decided "Dinosaur yuri. Yep. Dinosaur yuri."

Dinosaurs make everything better. It should be a genre.
Anyway, how could anyone not lose it and laugh hysterically at
"Oh? Did your fangs get even bigger, Tyra-chan?"
"S-stop touching me in weird places!"

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................wut. Sadly, I simply could not properly read this because, ironically, the art was too detailed but not good enough for distinctions to be easily spotted and made the characters basically impossible to differentiate.

The art is admittedly a bit rough, but come on. Cute Tyra-chan has a totally different build from the elegant Spino-ko, plus she has those little tyrannosaurus arms. And the little one is like a third the size of the other ones, and only one of them wears a fez.
Honestly, kids these days just aren't properly educated . . . how could anyone not be able to tell a Spinosaurus from a Tyrannosaurus from a Velociraptor? Know your dinosaurs, people!

I am completely upset that the afterward was not translated....how else are we supposed to figure out why the hell someone decided to do dino-yuri >.< lol

The question is why nobody else is doing dino-yuri.
This isn't actually new, I've seen it elsewhere and I'm a huge fan. So hilarious. Best of luck Spino-chan!

i get the feeling everyone calling this an "unhealthy relationship" dont have much relationship experience

I get the feeling people saying this are overly smug. Funny the feelings people get when they have pretty much zero information, isn't it?
On the relationship itself, well, I'm on the fence. I wouldn't stand for being treated the way either of them treat each other, especially the one who keeps getting hit, but . . . OK, maybe, if they're into it, whatever.

I generally prefer the overt ending. Well, pretty much always. And I'd be happy to see the next story where they got it sorted out, dash it all.
But for me the feelings were clear enough that it was still pretty satisfying. The romance was quite clear to me, all the little signs from both of them. I mean, how obvious was it that the reason Honoka was upset was that she'd been basking in the feeling that Asako had done her hair and so she didn't care how crappy it looked, she wanted it to stay. I thought it was pretty touching that she would set aside her love of everything being "just so" because of that "She touched my hand, I'm not going to wash it all day" kind of feeling.

By the time you're clinching in the shower, isn't it a little late in the day for flirting with pocky?
Gorgeous tho.

Really, this is a surprisingly good little story. It's stuck in my mind over the years.

I freaking lost it at the PowerPuff Girls reference in the afterward XD

Yup. "And so, the Powe--uh, Perverted Yuri Girls were born!"

This is a really lovely little one-shot.

whats an "admiral's baton"

I'm guessing it's a euphemism for a vibrator/dildo. Or something to spank with.

Normally I'd have guessed that too, but in this case I'm assuming it has something to do with continuing the joke from the credits page of ch.2, where she says something about Kantai Collection and calls her "Admiral Emi". Clear as mud to me, I've never read that stuff.

The way everything happens so fast almost seems like a dream sequence.

Eh, when it comes to spoilers, far as I'm concerned out of sight out of mind. As long as people aren't rubbing them in my face, for my purposes the webtoon exists as far as the most recent English translation.

Whatever happened to Cheese in the Trap, anyway? I mean, when it comes to scanlation. I was following it for a while and then it seemed like scanlations stopped happening, or got restricted in some odd way, or something.

Yes.
Wow, Inugami will flirt--not to say lech--with anything that moves. Well, anything cute and female.

But I think her heart is still with Nekoyama.

This is cute and I'm a sucker for that camera, so subscribed.

Also, is there a reason the title got translated as "She, Her Camera, and Her Seasons" rather than "Her, Her Camera, and Her Seasons"? That latter would seem to be more grammatically correct and it flows better.

Not sure why it would be more correct with "her". Since the title isn't a sentence and there is no verb, whether that first pronoun would be considered subject (she) or object (her) is indeterminate. Does she (and her camera etc) do something, or does something happen to her (and her camera etc)? We have no way of knowing so either is as correct as the other.
To me it feels better with "she". That's where my instinct puts me for some reason. But also, I think I like it better that way because the "her" going with camera and seasons are both possessive, while no matter what the first pronoun is it isn't possessive so it feels better making it different from the other two.
