big boobs generally look really weirdly drawn and drooping all over the place (idk, to me, I have no idea how really huge boobs look in real life, and I don't mean any offence to anyone if that's how they look like. Srsly.)

Since left and right sides of the body don't match sizing, it is realistic if they're a bit lopsided. Some people just have extreme cases of size mismatching. For example, my left is a D and my right is a C. Now that sucks. Also, some chicks just have weirdly shaped boobs.

But in the case of manga, lopsidedness and weird shapes is probably just bad art and not actually trying to realistically represent the woes of having boobs.

This feels like such a classic to me, so good, love it.

It totally is a classic. I've read it over quite a few times. It's my favorite story by Morishima.

Hell, I've known a couple personally. Usually I find what they want most is breast reduction surgery though, because it's no picnic carrying those around (backaches, chronic migraines, grooves cut in the shoulders from bra straps, etc.).

Also knowing an American F cup personally, who had to get a reduction due to back issues, the big breast tag usually makes me feel weird. As soon as the big boobs are revealed I'm like "Oh jeeze, that would hurt to have." Nice thing is, some insurance companies cover reductions completely.

Anyway.

I always enjoy this mangaka. Just generally quirky and slightly-unbelievable stuff, that make for great one-shots. And such cute art.

edit: Is there any one else wishes it has a followup chapter, showing Chiaki-chan grown up and the lady in the future too ? or is it just me here... ;[

I'm going to imagine the sequel as Prunus Girl.

I wonder what female actress could pull off Kase. I haven't really watched any live-action, so I'm not familiar with any actresses. I'm open to recommendations.

good question. don't know since I don't really watch live-action, except running across a copy of Cutey Honey live action. man that was weird movie! heh, the chick that played Cutey Honey might have made an even cuter Yamada-san way back when. don't know about now tho.

I just watched a preview. That was hilarious.

I think Kase would be more suited to an anime given the extreme expressions and copious amounts of blushing – it just wouldn't be the same without that blushing.

Speaking of releases – does anyone know how often YH Wildrose is published? That's something that I haven't found through google.

Finally, I guess my hunch wasn't too far off. a day or two was needed for cooler (wiser) heads to prevail. question remains, did this happen because people did not want to continue a fruitless argument; thus conceded their points of view or was it that the antagonist in question made such an overwhelming case that it (csx's argument) could not be refuted? either way, this little kerfuffle is at an end. for now.

[damn I need to take remedial english. my posts are always too wordy]. :-[

I just skipped the pages after realizing the assholeishness wouldn't die down and included my wonderful ship of Freja and Morinaga.

It's easier to get them to shut up if people stop addressing the argument.

Thanks. Here's my wonderful self-made doujin of them.

wow Now it's a ship ? thanks. Morinaga, what a keeper. :))

I couldn't help myself. Who wouldn't want to ship one of their favorite mangakas with an international supermodel?

I'm glad you guys like my art. I think I'll start selling prints. I'll send them to Morinaga as well. She and Freja might frame it in their love nest.

Have we also mentioned Akuma no Riddle, which is slated for an April anime release date? I really hope more chapters of the manga gets translated to English soon.

actually, I think Kase-san could be live action. it'd be the perfect after-school special :-D

I wonder what female actress could pull off Kase. I haven't really watched any live-action, so I'm not familiar with any actresses. I'm open to recommendations.

The pose is different, but the details of the outfit are nearly identical. Morinaga-sensei did not appear in the most recent issue of Hirari; I don't have the most recent Comic High yet (monthly, School Police), but she hasn't appeared in the three or four issues before that. This is not like tracing, right? This couldn't have anything to do with her not contributing anything recently, right?

Does anyone know of anything Morinaga-sensei has published in the last three or four months?

I'd rather believe that she's actually having a love affair with

allegedly-lesbian supermodel Freja Beha

Because Morinaga-sensei must get all the women, right?

I love you for that XDDD

Thanks. Here's my wonderful self-made doujin of them.

@esn - i'm surprised and it still irks me to some degree that no production company/independant/free-lancer will pick a book and turn it into an anime. the last 3 years have had some great stuff produced. I wish they'd see the little niche market out there instead of tossing table scraps through fan service and lousy sub-text :-(

I'd love to have a Hanjuku Joshi/Girl Friends/Kase-San anime... But don't we all? I'd buy up all their dvds. And posters. Etc. Hell, I would make the market myself if I had to.

Though Red Garden was pretty blatant, it never amounted to anything :( Sad life. I guess Sakura Trick was chosen because it's mostly comedy, right?

I really dislike that most of the yuri tones I see are either the crazy psychotic lesbian side who is creepy as hell, or the comedic women-lovers. But I think that's a pretty common opinion. It irks me because I think that there could be a market for genuine yuri – straight or gay males and females would watch it. I have guy friends who are up to go watch foreign lesbian romance flicks with me, it's not a lost cause or anything.

That said. C'mon. Kase is to die for. Chicks would be watching that shit. Guaranteed.

I just realized that Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha the anime is coming out this year. There is some yuri feelings in it, but we're still waiting for a conclusion to that in the manga. It's blatant and addressed, so I'm excited to see how they deal with it in the anime. I just finished Red Garden so I'm on the hunt for anime with subtle yuri themes. I hope some more come out this year!

A sigh! That was a big mystery. I don't think I would have ever figured that one out.

Is it that surprising? I means, your avatar looks really surprised..

That's my secret. I'm always surprised.

I can't tell if your avatar is a meteorite or a no-eyed man with an arrogant nose. Please get back to me on that.

They're kind of sexy.

I agree.

Probably not just "kind of". More like, flat out sexy.

Anyways Since i love age_gap i thought this was a great chapter :) It didnt need to realy develop, it was sweet with a promis of things that might come.

I didn't think I liked age gap, but every time I read an age gap story I'm proven wrong.

I really liked this one, and I can't pinpoint why. Maybe I just like all of Takemiya Jin's cool and level-headed female characters. They're kind of sexy.

Your productivity makes me joyous. What a great start to a new year.

I'd like to see a Koi x Mayu doujin. Jussayin.

to fully grasp the volume,
DDD/E.

Nope. Can't grasp that volume. Hands are too small.

This made me laugh so hard – mostly the helicopter part.

@esn:

Damn. You've made me need to reread Kase-san yet again.

I saw the next chapter on YP and am excited for the release. I felt obligated to read it again. Kase is still the hottest lead.

I do appreciate the "calculating female" character in this story, though, who is actually kind of an airhead. Kind of like a failed Sugi. Since both the characters are kind of ditzy/dense, I'd imagine that it's going to be a little messy before the conclusion.

PSA: If you love Yuri-ism's stuff, then be sure to visit their site more often, since we're now upgrading the 72-hour delay policy to a full week.

I visit their site multiple times daily, and reread the content once it's released here. Is that obsession or loyalty? Who knows.

Thanks for the Seasons release! It was a good one. If only we could all make money by sitting on our asses doing whatever we feel like.

Aw YUS!

Just as I'm rereading Fragments of Love, more Jin comes out. Lucky day.

The basketball-sized breasts on page two made it a big no. I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about how seriously fucked up their backs must be from all that weight.
