Junko talks all big but she sure had a close eye on Kayo the entire time, Especially when she was talking with Sakakibara. Methinks someone's projecting a tad~

They really went the extra mile with the insert song for ep.9, so pretty :sob:

While I would absolutely love a polyam end for this, i'm gonna call it now and predict it to follow the same conclusion as "Well done, pervert". With the lil sis eventually falling for Yanagi through all her love and support and the big sister either remaining blissfully unaware till the end or actively encouraging the two to get together.

Soooo Sena’s feelings for her sister are now just… ignored?

I think it's less that they're being ignored and more like Sena has come to peace with and isn't constantly dwelling on them anymore. She was able to reconnect with her sister somewhat despite her feelings, so that and Kiku's support have eased her mind.

This finally got picked up again by someone on mangadex~ two new chapters out already

Sorry, can someone explain how she's lying when she's just asking questions, both times?

I assume the lie is about the "too" in that statement. She's not there for the case bc she is the target, so saying "too" when she asks Youji is a lie.

I'm looking for a manga where two girls become friends in a fantasy online game by partying up together and eventually meet up. I wanna say it's office lady x high schooler age gap? I remember a scene or two where they have a heartfelt convo in game, only to realize that they've been talking in general chat and get all embarrassed when they notice everyone around being super invested

This one ?

Sadly not :[ Rereading this one just recently is actually what made me remember the one i'm looking for

Maybe this?

YYEESSSS That's the one! Thank you!

Silly me, i forgot to post what i came for in the first place.
I'm looking for that delicious typical contrast of yuri with a "plain girl" and a "flashy girl".

There's smth new that just dropped today and prob fits the bill. it's hilariously over the top

@juanelric i hadn't noticed it before either but i think it might've always been there. you can see it in official pages too, like here in the Sick Hack spinoff:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/a15e9b30-adf5-465d-9ea7-1fbaf420af60/3

We're getting spoiled with them quality confessions lately. They're so cute~ I really oughta give this one a proper read-through beginning to end

@Adawal idk about that Anna character but the source pic is tagged as Aoi (aka Juliana in JP) so it might just be a mistake on here after all.

Amazing, Terrific, Outstanding. Delicious food for the starving SeiPA crowd

Gengar pronounced them wife and wife

Random filler arc/OVA bait. At least it was only 2 chapters.

I was gonna skip reading the filler chapters but honestly it was pretty entertaining.

I never skip the filler chapters, because they serve as a valuable palate cleanser for the longer, plot-heavy story arcs focusing on Vena's manipulations. Heavy scenes like Baiser going berserk hit so much harder when you know the characters involved all have preciously light-hearted sides to them.

I concur. Not like we're working with some Fighting Shonen style filler where the arcs are longer than whole series xD A little 2 chapters of light-hearted downtime after some big revelations or heavy impacts can hardly be described as "filler" imo.

I'm not here to start a debate club with you, I'm just saying for all your going on about quality of writing (which is a pretty subjective thing to begin with), I haven't really seen any arguments for that other than "i don't enjoy how she's written, therefore it's bad writing" while there's at least some tangible evidence to the contrary like the manga's continuing serialization.

How is it that youre (correctly) pointing out that quality of writing is a subjective thing and thus different reads and evaluations of a series are valid, and then in the same post go "but actually i dont like ur opinion so its wrong/biased"
People have been and will keep sharing their opinions on this manga, wether positive or negative and noone has any duty to appeal to some imagined form of "objectivity" for you to like their criticism. If you think these opinions are dumb then nothing is stopping you from not interacting with them, as many are already doing.

i don't think i said they're objectively wrong or anything like that? i'm not taking issue with their opinions on Shiho, just with how they're making them sound like objective assessments of quality with the way they phrase said opinions.
probably could've worded it better, the "tangible evidence" bit is more about success/popularity than "quality".

but y'know what, you're right, i shouldn't have started that line of rebuttal in the first place knowing full well there'd be nothing coming from it for anybody

At this point some o' y'all are just moving goalposts. Like, I get it, you hate Shiho and nothing she can do or say will ever satisfy you unless she straight-up turns into a completely different character. And that's your prerogative.

But don't act like she's still behaving like she did back when she was introduced or pretend her acknowledging her bitchy behavior (which really, in the end, is just what it was, nothing more) and apologizing didn't happen just because you disagree with her existence period.

Because clearly, your "objective literary analysis" is more tinged by personal views than y'all think it is and at this point it really shows.

Once again, for many of us the issue is not "liking or not liking Shiho" as an imaginary person--it's the quality of the writing, and what the author's conception of the character has done to the overall series.

Yeah you keep saying that but I don't really buy it.

OK, if that's how arguments work, then I think you're lying when you say that you think the series is well-written.

Which is fine in itself btw, when I say i think Shiho is well-written and good for the series, then that's also just my personal opinion, but then you could just say it like that instead of insisting your opinion is somehow the pinnacle of literary analysis.

Yeah you keep saying that but I don't really buy it. That's what I mean with my last sentence there: This isn't about quality at all, Shiho is a well-written character and the series as a whole is no worse off for having her in it than any other relationship drama series.
Indeed one could very well argue that the whole plot around her is what kept it going bc if all that came after Yori and Hima getting together was more YoriHima fluff then I daresay this series would've been concluded by now.

But bc you (generic you) think Shiho is a bad character and a detriment to the series it must be so, bc you're a paragon of literary analysis and you can do no wrong or smth. I'm being a tad facetious but that's how it comes across when you keep harping on about Shiho like she's exactly the same as back at her introduction

They really went with for the hat-trick with the great confessions that've been a long time coming this week.

Kodansha picked up the license for this one~

https://twitter.com/KodanshaManga/status/1726043031030116550

Just finished a reread of what's available and hhhhhh the pain of no new chapters in 2 months. And the English release won't have anything new until half way into next year, oh woe is me D:

YOOOOOOO, I totally missed this last month but our favorite music shop gays have been licensed in Germany by Carlsen Comics under their Hayabusa label!! First volume comes out in August '24, hecking heck! \o/

Another entry for my "GL manga licensed in German but not in English" list
