In other manga they said Japan had legalised same-sex marriage. Is that true or just their fantasy?

In certain prefectures you can get 'partnership certificate' but it's still not the same as full legal recognition. A Japanese court ruled last year that banning same sex marriage was unconstitutional, but the Diet still haven't passed any law to recognize gay marriage.

The rose cutting scene gives me yandere vibe.

I have no idea what the release schedule on this is though... never really followed Chinese series.

New chapter (raw) is released every Sunday.

goodbye subtext, hello Aaaaaangst

Chapter 15 will round up vol 3 so there's a very high chance it's ending next chapter.

it's the reply tweet right after that one that alludes to ch. 15 being the last one, i think. Google translate is wonky~

Yes, this confirms that 15 is the last one. 最終話 means series finale.

Now we get Elsa's perspective, turn out she's the more reasonable and levelheaded out of the two. She has been just playing along with Evie's 'bullying' pretense.

Interesting. This is probably the first vampire story (yuri or otherwise) I read in which the main couple are both vampires. The usual setup is a vampire and a human.

One thing for sure. They're together now, wherever they are. So happy ending I guess?

No one mentions the implied timeskip in the first page? Looks like some times have passed, Airi and Hina are going back to school, albeit a different one. Did they give up on their runaway life and go back to their town to start over? In any case, Airi looks much better than the wretch she was last chapter. She even talks about making new friends.
Edit: Oh wait I was reading it wrong. It was a flashback. I was under the impression that Airi had always been super confident in the past, so I didn't think that was a flashback.

Mom didn't deny it.

Looks like this only has 5 chapters. Short but sweet.

This is so much better than expected, mostly due to how entertaining the MC is.

For anyone who doesn't know, the seal is this author's trademark. It just appears randomly in their manga.

So next chapter is the last, excluding some bonus pages.

Eight Trigrams is a Taoist concept that is frequently mentioned in fengshui and such. In Chinese popular culture, the term is sometimes used in an exaggeration manner, to make something sound mysterious, complex or formidable. Not sure what the exact meaning here, but my guess is that the girl is a piece of work and likes to mess with people.

Pls let this situation get resolved next chapter.

It has to be, since we're already at the mid point of this one-volume manga.

When I saw the cover and the title, I couldn't but think about this.

Hey, it's possible

Everyone who saw "Chapter 27: CONCLUSION" and almost had a small cardiovascular accident, raise your hand.

We have about 2 chapters left, so yeah, conclusion is nigh.

The couple in chapter 14 are introduced here: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/mistress_and_maid_couple_ch01#1

Don't know why there is another entry for those 3 chapters.

I provided the raws for the 2 volumes that make up this series.

Hey, thank you for bringing more yuri manga to English reader. I adore Aoto Hibiki's art style so it's good to see more of them. This is the mangaka's very first series back in 2014 so I guess the inexperience shows. Hopefully the storytelling is more coherent later.

I heard this is the last chapter (for now). When was it made?

But letting it end that way could maybe then be a "backdoor" to restart the series eventually. Maybe the author has other projects on their plate right now or something, dunno

This outlook is way too optimistic though. The great majority of mangaka don't have the luxury to draw whatever they want, whenever they want when it comes to official publishing. It's not like an author can just waltz into the editor office and request a serialization. Forget about restarting a finished series; it's not even in the artist's hands whether their current manga can go on or not.

The reality is that when a manga is officially over, in 99% of cases it's gone for good (unless it's one of those blockbusters that spawn cash cow franchises). It's a business. You bet that when publishers are willing to let a series go for whatever reason, they won't be inclined to pick up the same thing again. It's especially true for niche series by low profile mangaka. Nothing stops a mangaka from publish new content of their finished series on twitter, pixiv, (which is what Tokuwotsumu has done for this series) or at doujin conventions, but another serialization won't happen in all likelihoods.

Btw, Tokuwotsumu has just started a new series a couple of weeks ago. Title is 'In this room where cherry blossoms bloom' or something like that. I would certainly check it out if it is translated.

Does this imply Shima is in the closet?

I kinda saw this coming. What surprises me is Ise being aware of it.
On one hand, the fact Shima is canonically gay might set up some potential development on the romance front. On the other hand, the fact Isa knows all along means their current relationship is very stable, and they can just go on like that forever. Whether this series ends in actual yuri or not, I consider it a very good character-driven slice of life, one that actually focuses on the mundane, daily lives of two characters with grounded personalities, and still manage to be interesting and appealing.

Tbh, I thought we were heading toward an ending based on the chapter length and general vibe of the chapter. Never have I been more relieved to see Ongoing on a series before. Now I’m definitely excited for the next chapter. This is by far the best (most enjoyable at the very least) series that’s ongoing on Dynasty right now.

The manga already ended though, with 2 volumes. You were right that we were heading toward the ending.

From the same author

As far as I can tell, those commenters enjoyed (or continue enjoying) the manga enough to continue, and (in some cases) eventually dropped it and commented as much when that stoppe being true. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

My previous post was more like a generalized observation from my point of view and and didn't mean to say the comments in this thread are unreasonable. I was indeed going off on a tangent, so let's put a stop on this tertiary subject.
