This appears to be the drama CD (english subbed) that's on Youtube for anyone who's interested. But please support the author and performers by buying the real product. Please.

i just noticed we don't have I'm a Cabaret Hostess But I Fell For a College Girl / Kyaba Jou Dakedo JD ni Otosaremashita / キャバ嬢だけどJDに落とされました

one of her few series with / about adults.
it's very cute — and fully translated by zeztie (who do not seem to be blacklisted)

The melancholy of how each of these chapter endings reminds me of Cowboy Bebop.

It makes me really curious of where this is going, but more so, of how it will get there.

I've now read thru all 103 currently available parts (32?) chapters of this. as I've written elsewhere, I can't actually read, so please forgive for not reading all ten pages of spoiler ridden posts in this this thread… (also, I don't have the energy to read MTL.)

regardless, i have a question, about Miyagi, mostly:

Both characters read as having (childhood) trauma about close relationships, but in addition to that, Miyagi reads as autistic (af).
Which is funny, because she's the one with actual friends, while to Sendai friends are purely a function of surviving society (high school).

What are your thoughts and feelings?
Am I very wrong with my assessment?

took me five days to catch up to the current status of the human translation, but I guess I can now confirm: I can, indeed, read (when it's smut).

this and Black & White are both still a healthier relationship than My Cute Little Kitten.

why not just take this opportunity to reread all of 2C=Galore's work?

I don't know how to respond to this. How are you on this forum if you can't read.

it's quite simple: the last time I finished a book that wasn't work related, or had no pictures telling half the story was probably some time before my daughter was born.

I have (something like) dyslexia.
I have (something like) ADHD.
I've had several burn outs.

Reading is hard.
My brain is fried.
That makes reading a lot harder.

are you sure it's sweet?

such claims require… Verification.

maybe we can peek here at the original
https://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/14079602755420766202 and find out, but so far it's rather subtle.

tho we can be fairly certain that Atsuko is queer but probably either quite inexperienced, or very shy about… certain things.

i love the little flinch Nagi does when Manatsu sucks her finger, https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girlfriend_limited_to_7_days_ch05#18
but then she's the one who pulls Manatsu back for another kiss, and goes in with her tongue. But then it's Manatsu who puts her hand on Nagi's leg…

I love this dance between the two.

They are both in it, they both are committed, they are both on equal(ly unsure) footing, and they are both making bold strides that take a lot of courage.

Just look at the way Nagi asks Manatsu about coming over!

there's some serious handholding happening here https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/your_scent_is_a_little_sweet_ch50#2

I think this needs to be properly tagged.

I want more stories with girls using classy clothes

one of the many things we get to enjoy when the characters are adults: they get to wear real clothes.

i reckon the main reason why we're only getting the kinky gay sex now in season two is that the characters are officially grown up?

me 4 days ago:

even if she's stumbling into this, i think she's got incredibly good intuition. Moreover, she is also actively reflective of what she's doing and what's happening. she's going to study up

I didn't think she'd be taking me this literally

yuri? I'm reading this purely for the recipes.

given the premise, we're probably only gonna get 8 chapters, so it's very unlikely to be cancelled.

if it turns out very popular, it might be renewed for another season

I don't remember the early chapters that well, but this felt like a really explicit showing of Yoshiko's romantic interest in Hanayo. I thought it might have been more ambiguous before, but maybe I don't remember it that well.

Yoshiko takes Hanayo on a date ( https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch03#22 ) to make her a perfume, and then to dinner. The perfume making place (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch04#21 ) and the restaurant (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#8 ) are both run by two women that Yoshiko knows. Hanayo finally asks, and the lady at the restaurant confirms that she and the perfume lady are a lesbian couple. And that they have been for 30 years (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#23 ) .
Hanayo cries in the restaurant bathroom upon the realisation that there are other paths she could've followed in life, and that there are people her age who have braved those paths (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#26 ) . (reminder that Hayano has always had lesBIan leanings https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch02#1 )
In the taxi home, Yoshiko barely restrains herself to hold Hayano's hand. ( https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch05#30 )

And that's all Volume 1. So, i it's always been very strongly hinted at. So much so, that i think this deserves a Romance tag.

Anyway, rereading this, I relearned that Keito, Hayano's son, was always been a butt https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hanamonogatari_ch01#28 . I'm glad Hayano has such a good daughter in law and granddaughter to make up for it.

i am so hype for all the interpretations that people have put forward here about this story… or, poem, rather, as the author calls it

thank you, it was a pleasure to read them all.
the manga was fun to read, it's going to be even more fun to reread after soaking up all your ideas
