A link to your past posts under your account drop-down in the top right would be rather useful. It'd help make it easier to track threads you've posted within in lieu of an actual thread subscription system.

Edit: Also while we're on that subject would it be possible to add direct links to your posts in your post history? Currently the only links there only link to the thread. In huge threads such as the one for Citrus that makes it a pain to find a post without inspecting the post history page's source and knowing how to format a link manually.

Well that was more depressing than I expected even from the "depressing as fuck" tag...

Well, this was just awesome. It made me smile involuntarily though. I don't like that.

Just make sure to choose to smile before you start smiling involuntarily next time then.

You can't be partially pregnant.

What in the world is this bit even intended to mean?

Hehe, baby dykes. I tend to use the word "dykelings", has that cute and fluffy feel.

Dykelings makes me think of dumplings. This definitely has nothing to do with the fact I'm hungry right now either.

I feel like those scans were pretty well done for rough subs :P Anyway, waiting on the Dynasty release and then it's another 2 months, lol. Oh hey, the next release should be during... May

I haven't checked them since I'm waiting for the final release and I wasn't particularly paying attention when they were linked but if it's not the final draft but it's decent quality then that probably just means it needs to be QCed.

I like how similar this is to Her First Love, where the love interest really isn't fussed about the lead's gender, and just goes along with it because it suits them.

Except there was more drama there, though that turned out kinda hilarious in the end.

Glad I actually got around to reading this since Chatting At the Amber Teahouse always reminded me I should but with the kinda aimless way it goes about, 7 chapters seems far far too short. Actually the fact that someone wrote a manga that's pretty much purely a slice of life manga and got me not only caught up in it but wanting a lot more is fairly impressive to me. I'm really not a fan of aimless slice of life stuff.

Words mean things. What a concept.

In my opinion, words are just a means to convey ideas and emotions. If somebody uses a word like "faggot" without malicious or discriminatory intent, it is not reasonable to get offended. If somebody calls me a chink without the intent of being racist or mean, I'd be less offended than if somebody called me an idiot with full intent of attacking my intelligence.
Words don't matter, people and ideas matter.

A key thing to keep in mind here though is that context and intent matters and if you don't communicate that context or intent to others (such as in the sorts of situations Nezchan mentioned) then people won't know how they should take it. So in a public space it's just easier to choose your words more carefully while it's fine in private with people who are more familiar with you and will easily understand the context and intent without elaboration.

You are a tryhard, aren't you? What are you even trying to convince us of?

Well that went away then.

Was this a response to that guy who thought we all missed his post the first 50 times? Cause if he posted and got his message deleted it's kinda hilarious because it looks like you're called MrEngenious a tryhard now, lol.

sorry but what happened, where are all the previous conversations? Did I miss something?

Did you not bother reading the first post in this version of the thread? Because it answers your questions.

God, I hate captchas. Don't use those.

An alternative to the annoying captchas is that new(ish) one Google rolled out where it's literally just a tickbox and something about the way they made it manages to stop bots still.

I dunno, this crazy dude's rambles suggests some people don't have that supposed common sense at all!

Same with the occasional hate I get for releasing doujins of pairings with Nico or Maki that aren't NicoMaki, for example. Mostly this is just hilarious for me, mind you, but yeah, some people take this shit way too seriously

Apparently! It's really sad how frequently people take it that seriously. It's just so much easier and less stressful to ignore the ones you aren't a fan of. This doesn't even apply to just doujin pairings either but really anything. People get way the hell too worked up over things they dislike when that only serves to end up making them see more of it than they would otherwise.

This seems like an extremely good idea considering how far ahead so many of the people in the other thread are.

You should probably spoiler that to be safe. It's not explicit spoilers but it still gives a sense of what's happening in a chapter only some people have read. There are many of us waiting for the final translation to be uploaded.

It's a short way of saying "I don't care who is shipped with who". Because the couplings I like, I'll read; and the couplings I don't like... Well, I said it above. Crazy logic, I know!

Isn't this really just common sense though? The fact that it even needs to be explained to anyone is kinda rather sad.

Just something related to the forum....(I've only read the first few posts, so I apologize if it's been asked and rejected): what about something to rate/like posts in the forum? Because some people really post insightful comments/contribute greatly to the discussion. It's such a shame to not be able to do anything besides say "Thank you".

Or perhaps a "reputation" function; so amazing users get additional "points" when someone hits the "add rep" button.

I think something like a thread subscription system or maybe even private messaging would be magnitudes more useful than that. (Also maybe a report post feature would be useful. Currently it seems that mods just have to luck out and stumble across things which is going to take up quite a bit of time.)

The afterwords for every single chapter actually kinda got old to be honest. Towards the end I started just skimming them looking for anything relevant. And while some of the fourth wall stuff was funny I found it more annoying than anything. Hinata and En (also Gotou) were adorable as hell. Also I can honestly say that I didn't want a manga to end anytime recently quite as much as I did this one. It was far from perfect and had some annoying traits and weird pacing but I actually found all the characters (well most, I disliked a few such as all of En's brothers except Ken and Ten) to be really endearing. Hinata and Gotou were easily the most adorable characters in the entire thing though. I also kinda liked the bits with Momo at the end though I feel that should have actually been drawn out some rather than introducing her so close to the end. Despite being there for so few chapters though I liked her, she was a good character.

Edit: The Boy's Lily bits were worth reading if only for the super tiny and cute Gotou, lol.

This should have a pairing tag for En x bucket.

I had a look through the comments while deciding to read this and found this comment confusing and weird. Now I can see why it was a thing, lol. Though I found the second and third times (especially third time although the ending was alright) really annoying.

That was Matsuri, Harumin is the stealth gyaru,

Oh, you're right. Whoops!

I'm actually hoping this means Yuzu'll finally forget Mei (and her dickery) and go straight to Harumin's loving bosom

Isn't Harumin kinda the one who blackmailed Mei? I really don't see her being a better choice here.

It's probably the site's server having some issues. I've been having pages load really slow lately as well. I'd just assumed it was my ISP though since my ISP has been having issues with quite a few sites lately.

This was pretty interesting but I was kinda dissatisfied with the ending. It only somewhat hints that their relationship improved and really doesn't hint at all how things might be in the future.

It's chapter 1 of the anthology, though I think there is a second part for this particular couple titled 'That's True Too' but we'll see.

Alright, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for that then.
