And the thidr ones are clearly Itou Hachi fans hamming it up

Well yes but in that particular context she's the only one who appears to be engaged in "basic" maidservant employment while I was specifically discussing the two that aren't.

The text does not contain anything to indicate she wasn't a legally free person, tho, which is already a whole lot less uncomfortable setting than certain works by Itou.

These are ALL maids- maid is a job.

Technically the first one seems to be some mix of lady's companion and female page analog while the second appears to be outright roleplaying (compare "Georgie" in Kobayashi-san), presumably being still primarily occupied with school...

Yuri and Nemo are more or less the series champions of the barely-repressed serial killer look whenever they're pissed after all. (Kii-chan is the one most likely to actually go full yandere.)

If 7% of the US is gay, simplistically that would mean 7% of men and 7% of women. Yes, half the initial 7% is gay female, but half the population is female, so it cancels out.

Or in graspable numbers:
1000 Americans
500 men
500 women
70 gay
35 gay men
35 gay women

35 gay women / 500 women = 7%

(Now whether the initial 7% is accurate is another matter.)

It's worth mentioning that any stats like that are based on people reporting themselves as such. Between closed folks and people not realizing that they're queer, it's probably a much larger percentage.

Caveats apply.

Get over it, everyone doesnt have to like what you like or have to agree with your own personal definition of 'yuri'.

The irony and myopia here is dense enough to be used as structural material.

Fact is that this manga has gone out of its way to be as boring as possible while checking every box making sure that you know that the main "couple" will never actually do anything beyond gals being pals. Absolutely zero progression in their relationship in 67 chapters, sorry that I don't find it enjoyable and leave a small comment once every six months to voice my displeasure.

Well I think that rather nixes the "enjoying despite imperfections" angle proposed earlier and rather supports the "hate-reading" thesis...

I'm kinda amused by how utterly Akira fails at being a soap-opera villain and basically gives up on it before even getting started. Girl can't even steel herself to "be cruel to be kind" lel

Here's what I hate about polyamory right? Yes we all are capable of loving multiple people. Very, very much, almost equally so. But it's like why not just choose one to focus your energies with? You like that person well enough right? Just pick one that you care for to work on a relationship with. You have to do the same thing with a career path basically

These kids are what, in high school? Your energy for things energy reduces significantly as you age. One relationship is draining enough let alone two.

That's a lot of weird teleology in one post.

One might also suspect a degree of projection.

Yeah, that was a fun quest. Also Paimon's response to starting the quest (and how she remembers the various women's scents) seems to indicate she likes ladies too lol

Paimon: So this time we get to go around town looking for nice-smelling ladies to talk to? Paimon likes this job!

I made a single pull on the new banner and instantly got Tsukinogi. I can work with that. ┐(゚~゚)┌

On another note I'm amused by the sheer irony of "Rhodes Island swallow" Greythroat pretty much being established as the district champion of befriending Reunioners.

Lol people are complaining hard because the fire is.......burning them!

It's bit of a problem when using a character's DPS kit for its intended purpose is suddenly a recipe for suicide, yes.

Not to mention that Hell of a lot of stuff in this game is fought under a timer of one kind or another - explicit Challenge countdowns or Oceanid murking you with its hax unavoidable waterspout if you take too long wiping its summons for ex - which rather rules against cautious and deliberate tactics.

Completely unrelated but it amuses me how Ning's Jade Screen is described as being partly made of "her opulence" - literally throwing money at screen huh? :U

^eh, pretty sure the storyline quickly established Lisa as a rather strong-willed lass (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

I like to imagine this is what happens after she reads certain parts of medical textbooks and goes ask Big Sis Folinic for more details. And hands-on practice. o3o

So I had a pile of Primo saved up just in case I needed to buy the last few BP levels (late start on that and all), and threw the lot into gacha now that that's out of the way and the new one needs them for task anyway. Came to 20 Intertwineds and 10 Acquaints which netted me the pedoTartaglia, double Ningguang-sama and poisoner loliketDiona.

Yeah I can work with that.

Now I have to just... spend 5 years farming exp and Mora to level up Tartaglia and Ningguang...

I felt that. D:
Also need to scrounge up halfway serviceable weapons for them from somewhere orz

The change to elements aside I could swear they've also done something to at least some of the Elites' movesets, judging by yesterday's experience farming Cryovine and Geohypo.

^didn't read the original lore did we.

I need an explanation.
Chapter 12.5 says it was released in August.
Chapter 13 says it was released in September.
Chapter 14 says it was released in October.
And Chapter 15 just yesterday. Yet All of these chapters I only got notified about yesterday. Why wasn't I notified about the ones in the previous months until now? Somebody at Dynasty-scans has messed up.

"Released" does not equal "uploaded to Dynasty".

A pregnant cat might have trouble getting food on her own. If Himari hadn't gotten close to Shiro, she might not have been there to find the lost kitten.

With pretty much the sole exception of the highly social lions all true cats are solitary creatures and the females fend for themselves regardless of whether they're gravid or nursing, though. Ones that fail to do so for whatever reason get duly removed from the gene pool by the usual natural selection pressures.

Anyone know what the arab text on page 28 meant? might just be something small but still

Honestly I don't know myself, can't understand so it's probably gibberish and I really hope Khara is not arabic because her name means shit....

It's a short (and very old-established) sea route from India to the Arab Urheimat in the Middle East you know.

^it's not, but it seems to be loosely based on the gaudy uniforms of the period. More specifically the transverse braiding characteristic of the infamously flamboyant hussar uniforms, though the artist seems to be unclear on the details and has made them buttoned flaps instead. Compare the (for the day) understated Húsares de la Muerte uniform (Chile, late 1810s).

Minus points for not showing off Dat Ass with the very tight-fitting breeches nigh-ubiquitous in the uniforms of "true" cavalry (as opposed to dragoons who were technically mounted infantry) those days. :P

...I've never seen shoes grow MOLD. And they're treating it like something that happens all the time.

Well, it's a pretty subtropical climate in much of the islands. And humidity up the wazoo too.
