Well that is usually seen as spamming. When you're on chat or something, nobody cares, but on forum you have time to actually think things through. So when people post few comments in a row, especially short ones, that they could simply pile all into 1 comment, it can be seen as a bit annoying. Like when you reply to few comments, one at the time instead of just posting all replies together. To me it is just like basic forum good manners. And yes, the main point of it is that it artificially increase the post count.

I can understand situation where you post something and then like 1-2 hours later you want to post some new idea and nobody posted after you yet. In that case making new comment is fine, but you could still try to be mindful of it and as I gave example, repost your previous post with new information. Basically I'm a dinosaur who uses forums for half of my life so some things are just like common knowledge to me and I expect people to follow those unspoken rules.

@Bellalizz I'm not sure what you mean.
@juanelric In case you want to add something and nobody posted after you yet, I'd politely ask you to edit your comment instead. If you're afraid people will miss edit, you can delete your previous post and repost it with bonus stuff. I often do that when I make some important edit I don't want people to miss and my post is still last in thread. Posting few comments in a row clutters both image thread as well as image page, and in general is just seen negatively.

@LII02 Maybe because, all they did was requesting this image to be uploaded on Dynasty. They did not request the actual artist to draw it for them. This image already existed, was just not uploaded here before.

@juanelric edit function exist for a reason.

eh. shes hella insecure about her relationship with reiichi and like she said in the chapter before, she is seeing cracks in their relationship and shes realized that she doesnt really know him that much so i can see her cheating on him or breaking off their relationship. either way, shes gonna have to make a choice as uta has put kaoru in a position where she can no longer run away.

Just because she is insecure about it, it doesn't mean she will jump to relationship with Uta. For that she first need to love her. She said she is afraid to know him, but that doesn't mean she can't change it. She clearly before cared about knowing him and being his family, as well as, she was finally fed up with running away from possibility he might be cheating and confronted him about it. There is so much going on with Reiichi and his mystery, it is pretty clear we are not done with him any time soon. Once he comes back, there has to be next confrontation between Kaoru and him and/or he will explain the situation with his and Uta's family. Also whatever he is cheating on her or not, is not that clear, but he definitely has some reasons to hide things from her. It will probably be addressed once they finally talk about it again. The title of this story is unrequited love, so if Kaoru would simply go to cheating now or divorce him, that would be seriously disappointing. If author would plan to simply get rid of Reiichi and let Kaoru and Uta have a relationship, they would simply made him a asshole, but they clearly make him to be someone with their own life and reasons. Also I can't really see what story would be about once they would ditch him and get together. After all this fucked up stuff, you can't exactly expect a simple fluff romance. And even if, it is pretty clear once all things are resolved the story will simply end. So if next thing Kaoru will do is cheat/break on/with Reiichi, series would end there. Sorry, but author clearly consider all this past and current mess the core focus of the story. Uta's love for Karou is a side plot at this point.

(not everything, because a lot of things are part to interpretation. I personally Believe that Kaoru cares more about Uta than she really believes, but doesn't realize it yet because she is way too into Reiichi. There's a lot of little hint in the previous chapters, but I don't really think she realizes it and will ever realize it)

Thanks, but I'm not saying Kaoru doesn't care a lot whole about Uta. It is clear she cares about her and wants to have a good relationship with her. What I'm saying is that nothing suggest so far those feelings are anything more than the love for family/sister. Again, because author decided to not sheer with us the most important part of the story, aka why the fuck things between all 3 changed in the first place, but it was said before Kaoru was mad in love with Reiichi, and from her current behavior we can still assume she has feelings for him. To me something more must happen for her to decided to fuck it and leave him for good. At least she needs to get confirmation he is actually cheating and has no good reason to do it. Not knowing what happened and why things are the way they are is seriously frustrating, because we can't reliably discuss and speculate about plot at all, because we don't know the most crucial details.

TL;DR: Kaoru loving Uta from any point before her confession would be a serious cop out and even after her confession, story so far didn't really set up Kaoru to reciprocate it and doing so just because her current marriage is failing would be terrible to Uta.

Thanks for sharing your opinion! I don't agree with it, but, that's forums for you.

Np. Sure, but that isn't really my interpretation. That is what she says. Co-worker or teacher are "normal" options. Not special.

EDIT/ In fact, I looked at raws again and that sentence is a bit mistranslated. It technically has the same meaning, but as we see plenty people either don't understand it or have different interpretations what she meant by it. The original line is much more direct in referring to those 2 scenarios she came up with and would go something like that "If it went according to such typical scenarios, we could keep being a family." with "being a family" I assume she refers to Uta leaving house and breaking the current family apart, as in, even if she leaves they are still family, but she would destroy the family as they are right now.

Wall of text

I'm sorry, but 90% of people will not read it. Most people didn't read official explanation from scanlation team. You are lucky if people who will post now, will even glance at your comment. Sorry, that is how this forum works.

Also:

Let's look at the last scene of chapter 15 when Uta leaves, and Kaoru's internal monologue. What Kaoru is saying here is, "why couldn't Uta have fallen in love with someone from her work instead?" and "why couldn't she have fallen in love with a teacher from school instead?" On page 30, Kaoru is essentially saying "she should have fallen in love with someone more interesting, instead of a boring person like me" and then "because if she had, we could still live together as a family." In this scene, there's a dichotomy between Kaoru feeling like a boring person (recall from previous chapters where she had meetings with her more successful friends) and clearly enjoying the fact that Uta thinks she's a special enough person to confess to her (touching her lips at the thought), yet at the same time realizing that it's an untenable situation because it means that Uta has to leave and break up the family.

That is actually not it at all. The meaning isn't "I'm so boring". The point of this scene is, as you said, she is in denial, so will still denying it, she thinks of different possible people Uta could fallen for. Like the co-worker or teacher. And after it, she basically tells herself, "who I am even kidding?" because she finally realized she was just running away from reality, because she is the one Uta fallen for her. The "if the person was as ordinary as I imagined, we could have stay family forever" refers to how Uta falling for her sister in law and wife of her brother is not a usual scenario. If she had fallen for teacher or co-worker things could stay as they are, they could just be normal family. But because she fallen for her, they can't. Uta wants to move out to not cause problem because of her feelings. She wants to distance herself, because she knows now it will become awkward. Kaoru is not feeling special there. Kaoru finally is realizing just how fucked up situation they are in is.

If your question is "is Kaoru going to reciprocate?" I think the answer is "I think she will, but for now, she's completely in denial about the whole thing as usual".

I'm seriously not sure where you got that conclusion from. If it is because of the whole, being special thing, then I just showed how it is wrong. But even if, she is in love with Reiichi, she chased after him for several years. She is married to him. She showed no interest in Uta, other than trying be a good sister-in-law and family. In order to reciprocate, she would actually need to either cheat on her husband or get a divorce with him and neither option seems likely at this point. She got worried to death about idea of him cheating with someone and she wants to confront him about it first. I don't see how she would suddenly jump to cheating on him instead. For all intents and purposes, she still loves him.

And just how almost nobody will read your post, I'm wasting my time, because almost nobody will read what I just wrote. As a prove I already wrote and said all of that like 3 pages ago and almost nobody read it, especially you.

Hello! Sorry to bother, it's been a long time since I've been here but I've been searching for a particular series, the details I recall are as such! There is a collective group of girls from different backgrounds(at least this is implied) living together within an alien dimension, in which there exists tall, fern-like spires and strange nightly phenomena that they are all familiar with. They go to school, no men seem to be present--they talk and explore different subjects, usually on sexuality and their thoughts on sexual habits themselves. If i remember correctly a mysterious and beautiful girl joins the group, and conflict arises. It's quite depressing overall, but it's sorta dear to me as something I read right now in a coming-of-age point. It's silly but does anyone know?

I kinda felt like it was it, but since there was no mention of dicks...

Don't worry guys. This couple appears again in Pulse Chapter 22, and are now married, and YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!

Jokes aside, they are astonishingly similar, and have a similar story. Plus, we know Pulse and Lily Love are linked, so why not this too.

We know. Literally the last posts are talking about it if you bothered to read it. And having to waste 12 years first before finally getting together doesn't sound all that happy (they both already knew and loved each other during those 12 years).

Considering how much some artists leave visible between the whiteouts, attempts at censorship, in some cases, seem more like making fun of the idea of censorship than actually following any prescribed guidelines.

It is actually more of a nipple effect. In anime, games and porn they usually censor the whole thing, but manga usually gets away with it as long as they do any attempt at censoring. That is why they just stick few bars on clitoris and vagina and that is supposedly good enough.

Lol, so she has One For All XD?

Yandere in action for anyone interested. Sadly her yandere monologue was cut short and finding better version is a pain thanks to copyrights. I'm surprised I found even this much. Rest of videos cut a lot of dialogues and pauses.

I don't think we, as readers, were really meant to remember it. Although, the name does sound fitting for the character.

I know. I meant more that I personally simply forgot that they introduced them all with their full names and I didn't bother to check.

She's the only horse girl whose hair doesn't cover where her human ears would be but she has something else covering it.

I assume that is the exact reason why she has it. To cover it up because she has no human ears.

ypassionnate posted:

if i remember well "bullet" is only the girl's nickname. so her real name must be rotor?

No. Her nickname is Rotor, referring to rotor vibrator(s) she... has deep relationship with. First translator simply concluded that it would sound better if he localized it as Bullet, as that is how they are casually called in the west. When Stan took over he didn't realize it and went again with original nickname, but changed it once people pointed out the meaning of Bullet. So technically she only has 1 nickname and we don't know her name.

You would know, even if you just read few last posts

Can we seriously get that rule that saying you dislike a paring from the picture and/or the different paring is better gets you banned?

Her tongue was cut by other girl.

Sure, some authors can have some agenda or praise/condemn something in their works, but assuming ever single thing is reflecting their exact believes and morals is usually bad idea. Also there are situations where authors put some ideas or themes unaware, because of ignorance or bad writing.

Really, now? Because retaliation actually worked for me just fine. The jerks who bullied me actually escalated things when I simply ignored them; it's when I finally exploded upon them twice by my third year of high shcool that they finally learned that just because several of them are over twice my weight in muscle and could probably break my arm if they wanted to is worth bullshit when me being pissed off enough to actually get physical as a result of their bullying means that I give zero fucks about whether the resulting fight ends up with one or both of us either maimed or even dead... and that I have zero qualms about skipping all the way to the bottom of the barrel in terms of how dirty I get in a fight if I'm given even the slightest excuse.

Apparently, they never expected that full-force biting with the intent to tear into the flesh of an offending hand/arm or purposefuly punching at their windpipes were perfectly acceptable courses of action in my book.

Thank you. I tried to make people understand that.

so being raped must feel a hundred times worse I guess. I really can't imagine it, and just thinking about it makes me sick.

So my idealized version of rape is a bunch of shit, I would never want it nor wish for other person to undergo such stuff so I don't know how my brain can have those types of dreams.

That is why your brain doesn't show you that. It shows you the idealized fantasies you are ok with. Not the actual real thing you are uncomfortable with. That is the difference. Your fantasies goes only as far as you are ok with them. And just because you fantasize about it, it doesn't mean you would want even those fantasies to happen in real life. That is the point. It is something you can experience in safe environment, without any risk.

Do you think rape is hot or something?

Rape fantasies can be pretty hot, yeah. As well as a lot of other fetishes that exist in a "2D environment", so to speak. Hence why cheap erotica, whether we're talking about books, games or movies, is popular.

I myself hate rape with all my might but I admit that I have dreams about being raped by a girl of course, being tied up and stuff (and I seem to enjoy it in the dream).. like, what the fuck brain. I heard of lots of people who have those sort of fantasizes, must be something psychological, dunno.

There is difference between fantasies about rape or even role playing rape scenario with someone and actual rape. Most people never actually imagine real rape, but rather a idealized version of it. Being taken control of, someone being a bit rougher with you, someone being obsessed with you to the point of losing reason. I guess it is similar to what submissive people look in bdsm. The point is, none of it is nowhere near what it is like in reality. I'm pretty sure nobody actually wants to be raped.

EDIT/ Got Shen'ed, but yea pretty much what Gralwer said. People seems to misunderstand what "rape fantasies" are all about.

It's constructive criticism, we just want to improve not to undervalue the work of the translation.

The point wasn't that Nya-chan was wrong for saying translation was awkward in this case. The point was that before she actually told people, who were pointing out that translation had a legit issues and rewrite/mistranslations, to shut up and be happy that someone even translated it and if they want better version, they should translate it themselves. Even even when translator himself said, he doesn't care that he rewrote things, because that is just how he does things and in fact he knew people will complain, but he did it anyway, she still was supporting him and criticizing people who had legit issues with translation as old farts just bitching about things. And yet now she complains about translation herself and give half-assed excuses why in this case it is fine for her to do so, ignoring the irony of what she said before. So even if she is right in this case, she lost her right to give any constructive criticism and stuff like that forever.

Why Kaoru thinks she ruined Uta's life and feels responsible

I don't think she does. Presumably you're basing that on ch 2 but I think you've read more into that than was meant.

Well, she does say, she hurt her in some way, but yea, it was so long ago I don't really remember details and if there was anything more. I only remember there was something about Kaoru doing something to Uta and maybe her family, that she felt guilty about. At least people kept mentioning it in comments and basing different theories on it.

why she now suddenly is afraid of putting herself in other people's lives.

That's more like a flaw Kaoru sees in herself that she was confronted with because of things with Reiichi. I don't feel like it's been flagging by the story as something that needs an explanation.

Well I made entire rant about it before, which people said will be explained once we learn about what happened:

Nevri posted:

As a side note, it is so funny she says "Because I'm so scared of being rejected and dislike if I insist on forcing my way into their life" as a person who did this ;v I'm sorry but it feels like split personality or weird change of character. So she was perfectly fine chasing someone to date them until they accepted and even married her, as in, she become constant part of their life, but she is unable to actually be part of their life and is afraid of trying to connect with them deeper than just being a couple/officially married? I'm sorry but I just don't buy it. And if she really feels that way, then she is incredibly shallow person if she chased some without any intention of actually supporting or learning about them

But I’m getting more than a little sick of this water-torture drip-drip of tiny hints about the backstory with their families and the past that has resulted in the present-day situation. I don’t mind when authors use hints about the past to ramp up the tension in a domestic drama, but this just seems like an author coyly implying important things that we need to know about but never clarifying what they are.

It's foreshadowing. If you actually think through the alternatives, this is the right way to handle something that will eventually be revealed and become relevant from the history of the characters.

The problem is that it is already relevant. From chapter 1 in fact. In fact it is so relevant we need it to even understand the motivation and reasons for characters to act the way they act. Like why Reiichi who has been said to reject Kaoru for years, suddenly married her and why he could want or need to hid some things from her. Why Kaoru thinks she ruined Uta's life and feels responsible and why she now suddenly is afraid of putting herself in other people's lives.
