Hello, just dropping by to say I've ... err, dropped my translation of this manga. If no one picks it up within, like, a year, (although honestly, no-one is likely to) I might, maybe, come back to it, but otherwise - sayonara~

it's a pity, i liked this ...
i can try to find some time for editing, but for the traslation i can't help at all

I'm not sure I understand what they're selling. They hold seminars about... something?

sure they aren't selleng themself...
from what i understand, it's like a school's infirmary, but outside of the school, for girls who are bullied, or have other problem (that can lead to a suicide),
the misunderstanding come from the word corporation, i think business is better, but they give assistence, hold meetings, programs like alcoholics anonymous

They do mention that it's a nonprofit organization in this chapter, and that would probably be a much better descriptor than corporation for sure.

i wanted to use nonprofit infact, but i forgot when i was writing,
my economy professor at university said that non-profit is the future, there's non-profit business: they simply invests all the profits in study and research
@colonalcat: it's true they have help from government, but it changes from place to place, and you can't make it work only with goverment assistance,
it's not that every girl can make something like that, but in manga there are detective teenagers or killer... and we don't know if the MC had some money to start, what they do and offer and if they have some real income.

Basically, what you demand by saying that [insert tag here]-stories are sick and shouldn't exist, is censorship. Nobody likes censorship.

nobody likes censorship, when they are the victims, but lots of people would censor what they doesn't like.
it's sad, i know...

just re-read, it's great, even better than the first time,
i live in the countryside and i really like manga like this, and witchcraft + growing and cooking is surprisingly good

this remembered me about Mugen no Minamo ni instead,
the start was a little confusing, but now i'm already curious about the rest, if it's short is alright, this kind of stories usually are better when short,
i don't know why but, for now, i prefer the art in her doujin

incest canon in a jrpg (het, i'm sorry...) ? Legend of heroes: trial in the sky,
what a game!, i wish i can play early the continuation (or read a fan-work, maybe with yuri variations)

i suggest to read this book, and read some fluffy good ending after to clean the aftertaste, but these stories have their merits,

i use this reader from only 3/4 years, but i remember maiden's cake like one of the manga that "iniziated" me to the yuri,
i don't think is a "age" matter, the prticular feeling that i have from this autor, i did't find it anywhere, it's very unique, and i have some problem to image a romantic involvement with a satisfaing ending at the age of the characters of these stories.
i think the melancholy of this book is like the angst for a teen story, i can't explain better... but i think is wort of the time

please dont anybody read those and then post spoilers

reading the comments of Gamma i had a bad spoiler with some raws of the ending (that was partially my fault)

Oooo~ it gives the same creepy feels as high school of the dead x3 I am loving this!

Please High School of the dead was only fanservice. Don't even start comparing them, it's making me sad :(

i think that is for highlight the fact that, even with same genre and background, you can have something totally different.

an other great addition to the reader, thanks

While he/she used the most pretentious word possible to explain it (I really do hate the word cliche because of how fucking overused it is)

So you're saying calling things cliche is . . . cliche?

If a cliche falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

predictable or not, if it's well executed, then it's good for me

eh?

i had lost the update of the last chapter, and this is one of the cause i'm thankfull to this site,

today i was re-reading (for the first time, because i usually wait for the manga to end) and i found this splendid chapter, with an abrupt ending, and i discovered that the page of this manga on baka-update isn't correct... it never happened...
it says the last traslated ch. is the 13 of a different group,

i'm writing because now i'm really curious about how many chapters remain, and i'm a little concerned about the ending of ch.16, this isn't the end, it can't be, right?
manga-update says that it's completed in jap, and it's 3 volumes, than the next chapter is probably the last, is it right?

i wish you will continue to upload manga like this, gamma, murcielago, all hail empress, in addition to more classic yuri

post-edit: from baka i found out that the plot came from a novel, now i really want to read it, i wish i can find it in english

there are very little differences from the original, however that was already perfect in its genre,

can i make a stupid question? what the :re, you see often in manga's titles recently, stand for? rewrite, remake? or something more immaginative? (my lazyness can't permit me this morning to search on the urban dictionary)

And the chapter about her being adopted? Never came out?

i always thought that was an auto-trolling of the circle, and not an unlikely link to a less likely continuation

In case you wanna know http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Fan-made_characters/Mitori_Kawashiro

Very popular Touhou fan character, if not the most popular.

Yohane hyyyype

it's the first time i see Mitori, she's a great character with great background,
the image of her on the wiki is totally zun style, it's difficult to believe it isn't his work

kanako here has snake eyes, i can't remember if that was canon for her,
usually only the vampires have eyes like that in touhou manga (but it's not canon, remilia has normal eyes in zun's drawing in th5 , i don't know about the sister, i never see the phantasm stage)

fuantei and comedy isn't quite right, and "aliceXsanae" is worst, but it was fun,
i also think the "wtf" tag is better than comedy

^wow this story was kind of depressing lol

That's Maiden's Cake for you.

right, this artist can be really cruel, but it's difficult to dislike

I think the "sour" on the last page can also be read a little different, but it's still depressing:
So far the "off talk" was always Suzu's thoughts I think and perhaps that's still the case. Then she'd basically consider herself as rotten, which would be really sad because she seemed really nice.
Of course the image showing the "new" student still indicates Sensei's an asshole. As a matter of fact the image got me more than the "sour" that way. That and Sensei glossing so easily over the episode "Forget the painful experience in your youth". That indicates she knows full well she's coercing and abusing her students and even though she thinks it hurts them she does it. What a bitch... "Hey, sorry I abused you, just get over it." Bah

I like the idea of the two young ones meeting and ditching Sensei for each other a lot, thanks for that idea. :)

ah, this is what i thought at first, but i wasn't sure, and after i read the comments i dismissed it as a misinterpretation,

anyway, with a style so minimal and rough (that i like estetically), if you want to keep to plot synthetic and realistic (without didascalic conversation for reader-use), with a script that jumps between locations and characters (that in manga are usually difficult to tell apart only based on their face), you have to be a real genius of narrative!
the artist here tried something a little too difficult

in the intervall at the end there wasn't the cat o' nine tails ...

i like mira, i prefer the romantic aspects of her stories to the sex, but i wish this will be an exception

Well, that was an unplaeasant take on the student-teacher thing

You misspelled "realistic." In any case, I can't help but feel there's something wrong (I just can't put my finger on it...) when people feel blindsided by an "unplesent" take on the "student-teacher thing."

i quote this, infact this is why usually i don't like age-gap, or is unrealistic, or is sad
