fwipfwipfwip... lol xD

that could easily have been a series xD that drama hit me unexpected. Overall it was sweet though.

Me: Oh it's a new chapter of Liberty... meh... Wait!!! it's Liberta -> clicks like hell.

Wow, that was some pretty detailed punch, wow... that hurt. I loved everything in this chapter.
"I quit", that punch = gold

Hi, to clear up the confusion:

Paradise, And After is a standalone mini-comic series. I don't believe it has any relation to Pure Water Luminescence, and Nanao and Matsumoto will not appear. If you look at the table of contents, you can see it runs until page 90 of the book.

The second half of the book is a direct sequel to Purewater Adolescence. Nanao and Matsumoto are the main characters.

I plan to do the whole book sequentially, so please enjoy these mini-comics and look forward to seeing Nanao and Matsumoto return in the near future.

Nice! Thank you so much!

no, it was great!

this was unexpected... and so perfect!

Shit, Rise, please don't be killed O.o

Laughing until 2031. xD xD xD xD

where is that gif from? I need more cats with scarfs in my life...

I thought this was boring at first, but totally changed my mind. lovely series. Love that art style too. Hopefully we'll see more of that author from now on.

Now that you mentioned it, I had to look it up. But it is not water, her name consists of
睡 sui - drowsy, sleep and
蓮 ren - lotus

睡蓮 - water lily

Shame. Thought it might mean something, but this is clearly just random coincidence.

ah okay, so that's it. Thanks. I just looked up the kanji seperately without knowing japanese that much^^

After rereading this I am so reminded of xxxHolic. Anyone? Yuko is also tall, has percing eyes and smokes nonstop. So that's why I instantly liked Suiren.

She's a snake woman surrounded by fish guards, if anything this is definitely Not Lizard

I dunno, they looked like fantasy lizard-people to me.

Pretty positive those are meant to be ichtyoid fins and not reptilian frills; also, fantasy reptiloids in general and animu ones in particular generally aren't depicted with such very obvious lips whereas fish-people in the same traditionally are...

Personally I'm guessing this setting is running off of the "sea dragon's palace" type legends (though the castle may be on dry land in this case). Relatedly I wonder if the sui in the lady's name isn't one of the Japanese words for water?

Now that you mentioned it, I had to look it up. But it is not water, her name consists of
睡 sui - drowsy, sleep and
蓮 ren - lotus

I approve so much, all my approval left for this month is gone.

This is cute.

Yup, it's still cute

I'm still a little suspicious of the brother... He just has this villain face and demeanor xD

I liked it. It is not as straightforward as a lot of stuff here is. And it's kind of cute.

But I highly doubt living in a prehistoric era was this chill... xD Let me introduce to you: illnesses, natural desasters, hunger, violence, droughts... and still even after considering this, I still get where this girl is coming from.

it's even better than I imagined from the raws :) they are being more and more honest with their feelings,

since there weren't enough tropes in this one, this chapter we needed to introduce like 3-4 tropes at the same time.

The more this goes on, the less I want them to end up together.

Seconded.

Exactly. What they have going is great so far without the romance.

Now, how are our chances of the mean looking girl never appearing ever again in the story?
When I recognized the drawing style it was unfortunately already too late to stop xD

Well, I still like it. It's defenitely not a happy series, but I still like it.

I feel like it'd be nice to have a tag that's something like... 'child from previous relationship'

only cause I love stories where the kid ends up taking on a new mom that they like, which is likely end game here.

yeah, love that as well!

Lol, that date chapter with Shino (ch6) was hilarious. Beautiful woman competition, pfffff xD

awww this picture sums up the series pretty nicely

I think I like this better than the first one. Especially because I found Aki kind of intriguing. Why is she always so mean even though she used to be popular? I think she just needs some love. Also it's kind of cool that the students basically decided against bullying and began bullying the bully. That's something you see not often.
