feels like a continuation of this doujin that poprication did a few years ago

It's definitely similar. In that one, the incident is solved by the shrine maiden in question while in this one the shrine maiden appears to be immediately following Reimu and has not solved any incidents. So then Marisa's incident couldn't have taken place earlier in this story. Unless this is a much later shrine maiden and the big incident Marisa caused that's mentioned in this story was from the 2011 doujinshi.

Or maybe it feels like the 2011 one is the sequel and this is the prequel?

People will often say certain things look trippy or psychedelic, but this? This design is surprisingly accurate. Plus you get Yukareimu too!

That has never made any sense to me. Imo separating yuri and futanari is just confusing and doesn't accomplish anything

I'd weigh in on the side that futa and yuri should generally remain separate with considerations for if a work is clearly aiming to be yuri genre fiction. With rare exceptions, such as the Love Live Sunshine doujinshi by Mikan mentioned above, futa has been historically and still is a very distinct, very fetishized genre consumed as het porn. Basically, futa is a commercial genre of het porn and it's weird to tag it as yuri.

Does the author have Pixiv or twitter?

Hey thanks. I came reallllly close to just posting the schwinn bikes twitter

This is still such a classic!

I swear I've read the past few chapters already

That's because someone sniped it on mangadex, although they didn't do too many chapters

Again, I think the problem here is that you guys want a manga dedicated only to those two characters, rather than a proper story.

Such heresy. Couple life romance stories are the best yuri, unless you don't like yuri stories about actual relationships. Which is fine. Personal preferences and all that. Eating only the bottom part of muffins, waiting in line for a ride then walking away when you actually get to the rollercoaster, ending yuri stories when they finally get interesting.

How can all this angst get resolved by a battle of the bands, anyway? Do you think the author has set that up as a plausible solution to the Shiho dilemma?

Absolutely not, and after reading your post I'm now kind of excited to see how it all plays out (thanks for writing all that out!). We're moving into Liberty territory here, time to strap in and get hype.

Good heavens it's already time to read this one again

I can't believe I reached this far in this manga even though I don't even understand a thing about mahjong.

literally me LOL

The cliffhanger would be more cliffhangy if I understood what that pon at the end implies!

Akyuu discarded the 4 man anticipating Youmu's 1-4 wait, but since she called pon on the west wind now she's waiting for the 3 man, which is still in Akyuu's hand. Every single tile in her hand gives somebody else the win, so unless she draws a safe tile she HAS to deal into somebody's hand.

If I had to guess she'll (begrudgingly) deal into Youmu's hand, since while that'll give Youmu the win it'll also keep Akyuu in 2nd. Technically she could deal into Doremy's or Shou's hand and still get 2nd place, but that'd eliminate Youmu which would end the plot prematurely.

I've been really invested in the story while not knowing much about mahjong. This was really helpful, thanks!

Oh man, the anime for this is so good. The pacing is sooo much better than the hot mess that the WN and manga are, it sets up all the characters and foreshadows/preps all the relevant plot points in the first two episodes, the tweaked order of events flows well, and it's exploding with rainbows and just being generally gay. It still manages an in media res opening while giving proper context to the engagement getting called off

2023 AD. It is time

Should it get the chubby tag? The light skinned girl is kinda jacked, the sort of abs you could grate cheese on. Abs and chubby are mutually exclusive, but I can see it working for the other girl too in that anime sort of way

French? Why not just have the french term change to English with a totally different font?

That would it make it less cringe, too comprehensible, and less hostile to readers.

Hard same. Almost. I'd say the English would need to be translated to a relevant business English.

I don't think anyone has managed to nail these correctly. It's basically people sincerely internalizing productivity gurus, project/product manager certification training, and Ted talks while also not totally understanding them. Barely comprehensible office worker jargon, not incomprehensible foreign language. Which you can get by giving any of the chat AIs a prompt and tell them to use as many buzzwords as possible. The results are basically what you'd be looking for. Heck, you could probably feed it the dialogue and then ask it to replace with buzzwords.

Was this posted here before? I could have sworn I saw something like this already, set up the exact same way. Ex-roomate left pot or other appliance at old house, one of the mcs becomes friends with someone. Ex-roomate is called to pick it up, and then they call when they get there, and it's the new friend the mc made. Was there another manga that used this exact same setup?

i feel this too.. cant put my finger on it tho.. god this is going to bug me lol

Could be that I read this chapter on another site previously but I’m not sure

Did you ignore the answer to this that was made 3 hours before you asked?

Reading on mangadex and after chapter 14, I am really not a fan of Aoi.

Here's the thing, I've never read any yuri doujin series outside of dynasty. The only things I've read are Manhwa and one-shots. Even with the way this arc ended with Aoi being engaged seems like deja vu. I'll never know where I've seen this before, and maybe I never will.

Edit: Actually, I think I remember hearing this story wasn't gonna finish being translated here, so maybe I decided to just go elsewhere. This is gonna bother me for a long time

It's kind of a trope. Was it this one?:
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/what_is_love#2

Side note, it didn't seem to be a joke that Aoi had 17 partners. Is it that surprising that one was a primary?

And even not clicking the spoiler tags I feel like I've managed to spoil the entire structure/thrust of the back half of the manga by reading the comments, just a reminder to spoil your spoilers for people who haven't read this yet. Even if you're just here to complain. I'm gonna stay out of these comments tho from now on just in case

Stars are inherently yuri

Those two have elliptical conversations. I'm not convinced they themselves are supposed to know quite what they're implying.

I think it's clear after some breakdown and not as opaque as it appears. Mayoi dodges Kaoru's compliments all the time because most are insincere, but she is saying she will make an effort to not play off the sincere comments because Kaoru doesn't give sincere comments lightly. Which Mayoi knew from the start and says it was rude of her to ignore Kaoru's sincerity. Well, for the second half of the convo, anyway.

The first half seems to be Mayoi pressuring Kaoru to go back to class because of the haircut, which Mayoi appears to be in favor of generally but knows it has something to do with Kaoru? Like, she tries to imply Kaoru should go back, then cuts her off when Kaoru isn't getting it/tries to flirt and said she was talking about the haircut all along. So maybe she is also trying to see how Kaoru feels about the situation without directly asking. And maybe thinks the haircut meant Shizuka was cutting Kaoru out of her life and is worried about Kaoru? The whole setup to the scene seems to be that she saw the haircut, then saw Kaoru sitting in the library and rushes over because she thinks Kaoru is distressed due to Shizuka's haircut (or breakup). Which Kaoru is distressed, even if she isn't admitting it. Then Mayoi is nice to Kaoru, which makes Kaoru's day and gets her out of that funk and she then proceeds to fall on her face

The referents are unclear all over, which sounds like it was like that in the original

I don't think we can say the knife was JUST in the girl's head.

I think we can. Her hands are full the entire scene with the tray, and the knife only appears in panels where Suu is imagining Mayu. When the art is normal, there is no knife. All of the exaggerated versions of Mayu are seen through Suu in either panels where the art changes or in memories although that could just be the nature of a comedy story. It seems written in such a way that Mayu's yandere traits could all be from Suu overthinking everything. Although Mayu does say Suu managed to figure the cake thing out as if it were a test

It saddens me to see somebody that want to do something creative has to abandon their dreams because it did not worked out to work in a dead end job

I call it catharsis.

Kao-chan turns into a yokai. Change my mind.

That's part of the twist that this story is actually the novel, but she survives in real life

I love this kind of edgy bullshit. Anyone have anything similar?

Similar feel but sans edgelord
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/drift#1

Otherwise there's that magical girls with guns series, it sounds edgy

Going back to the beginning, it was fun to see Mitsuki invested in and engaged in her own life, which she clearly was not with Jun. And she found someone her own speed, too! Suspiciously happy ending.

"incontinence"?

Only true word-o-mancers may use the word as such.

They're almost caught up and moving pretty fast with new chapters.

0mniessence did one more chapter and then dropped the series.

Alright I just finished Irrational Us and I thought it was quaint.

But it's still going and up to chapter 27

It's written by a yuri creator, but there isn't really any in the series or promo material as of yet.

Someone's not following sometime's socials.

I stand corrected

Yukiko chapter for Christmas!
