There's been speculation that Mima will show up again since EotSD. But this next release, surely...

A special thanks to Gongnongjie for the translation.

Yeah, they're real. Silent Sinner in Blue shows that all warrior moon rabbits have those buttons and frumpy ears.

They're not a popular enough pairing to get much stuff on their own; you'll most often see Nitori as part of a harem when she is paired with Marisa.

The yuri singularity happens when every gay combination possible is represented in fan art. Personally, I'm looking forward to Genji x Unzan.

Next on the pile is MAGICAL NIPPLE KISS.

It's yuri now rite guyz?

Is she pregnant now?

I don't have a Skype account; however, I'm on the Dynasty-Scans IRC channel for more of the day than I'm not, so that's a good place for us to talk.

And the three girls in the taxi in chapter 1 are from chapter 9 of Shoujo Sect.
Does anyone know if the people in chapter 2 show up in Shoujo Sect as well?

Still not as engaging a story as Emo Star.

Also, is there a Love Live story where someone other than Kotori is yandere?

This feels a bit, 'eh, ran out of ideas and I wasn't going anywhere with it anyway. I'll just throw in a few extra drawings and call it a day.'

Well it's more a collection of miscellaneous works instead of a complete doujin.

Yeah, Dynasty's not set up for slow, semi-related images. A similar thing happened with EirinKeine Comcs.

@Random_Bird
"Yurirei" is also the shortened way to refer to the game; as such, it's not a bad method to refer to characters in that series. We already see this with calling the girls from Touhou Project and Love Live! School Idol Project as Touhous and Love Lives respectively. In canon, it may not be a good way to talk about the characters, but in common speech, it's easier to say "Yurireis" rather than "the characters from Yurirei".

I don't know why Kotori is always the subject of being yandered

I was thinking the exact same thing a few pages into this.

And now I ship Tsubasa with Maki.

There's no private messaging in this forums right? Hm. No harm in posting it here then.

Here ya go ma'am: r*** [at] g*** [dot] com

It might be at risk of being picked up by email harvesters for spamming purposes if it's copy-pasteable. I don't actually know how prolific it is or whether standard measures actually help, but I've adjusted it slightly all the same.

Just pointing out that the e-mail address still exists in this reply. You can delete this message during cleaning.

Absolutely favorite Bleach pairing.

Yandere Kotori is best Kotori.

I think they're made by the same company and are used for normal speaking voices rather than singing voices.

GIF you say?

It's awkward, sure... but probably the best call. You'll probably hear English professionals say that you shouldn't break contractions at all and instead break "shouldn't" as "should not". These are the same people who will say you should never use "!?" and rewrite sentences so that cases like that never happen, i.e., written English isn't allowed to mirror spoken English.

I guess my take on it is, in formal writing I wouldn't break contractions (though, in formal writing, you're no supposed to contract at all...); however, scanlation is about reflecting how people actually speak, so if it means some awkward uses of punctuation, so be it. If the word "doesn't" needs to be broken somewhere, between the s and n is the best spot.

My position on the matter is the same as the art school advice I'd received. "If it looks wrong, it's wrong." And oh boy does having a line start with "n't" look wrong!

And "!?" is totally valid punctuation, it's called an interrobang. Although I'd personally only use it in dialogue.

The problem that will come from an art school is that they'll be teaching the creation of art while scanlation is about the manipulation of art. Scanlating Japanese text is almost always going to look wrong to some degree because the bubbles are created to house vertical script as opposed to the English horizontal script. This makes a lot of bubbles and boxes troublesome to work with, and all the options look odd in one way or another.

I wish I had time to rummage through releases and find examples of what I'm talking about, but I'll just have to describe them right now.
The first one, and the one we've been talking about, is breaking words apart. This has the obvious problem of splitting a word, which I think always looks weird; however, I find this to be my preferred option.
The second is to have the text extend outside the boundaries of the bubbles and then put a halo around the text so it doesn't blend in with the bubble or any of the images outside the bubble. To me, is jarring and distracting, but it is very common.
The third is to shrink the text down so it fits in the bubble. Depending on the quality of the image you're working with, this can be effective; however, if you're working with low resolution images (low-quality scans and most images from Pixiv come to mind), making the text too small can leave it hard to read or even completely illegible.

Now, if you were creating the image to begin with, you would NEVER use ANY of these methods for adding text to your image (with the possible exception of text extending outside the bubble for dramatic effect), but we don't have the luxury of creating the bubbles so they're conducive to the new text. The sad truth of scanlation is there will simply be times when there's no good way to insert the text.

I think you're agreeing with me on the interrobang thing. It's a type of punctuation which is commonly used to represent the way people actually speak, but you wouldn't use it for any type of formal writing. To me, formal writing should always be where you start, but when you get into the clumsy language of the average speaker, the rules will start to break down, and you have to be prepared to throw the suggestions of academics out when those suggestions are not designed to handle your current situation.

Well, there's nuance here. Contractions such as "aren't" and "weren't" don't add a syllable, but some contractions do, such as "shouldn't" and "wouldn't". A simple test to see how many syllables are in a word is to put your hand on the bottom of your jaw and count how many times your jaw pushes your hand down. In this case, the jaw moves twice, so "doesn't" has two syllables.

Wouldn't it still be wrong to have "shouldn't" or "wouldn't" break across a line, even though it's pronounced with two syllables?

Idk how to explain it but a lot of the words were randomly split
Isn't there a rule like, when you split words, to do so between syllables?
"Does-n't", "matt-er", "brea-sts", "compl-eted", "sme-lls"
It all looks really weird to me. In the case of "smells fishy to me" in page 3, and other cases like that, maybe reduce the font size?

Those aren't syllable breaks, though. "Doesn't" for instance is a contraction, so the "n't" isn't considered a separate syllable. "Smells" is a single syllable, as is "breasts". The division in "completed" is after the "m", not the "l". So all those are wrong.

The rule generally is to split words at the syllable, though. But I'm sure there are exceptions, it's English after all.

This is a pretty good guide to correct hyphenation. The biggest problem is there are no definite rules for breaking a monosyllabic word, which you sometimes have to do in scanlation. I try to go by the method of putting the break between the nucleus and coda (vowel and ending consonant(s)), but in practice, it's really about whatever fits...

From the examples above, it would be hyphenated as such:
does-n't, mat-ter, brea-sts (though you can put the hyphen anywhere in practice), com-plet-ed (though recommended to only use the one between the m and p), sme-lls (again, you can put it anywhere)

she can call it a 'friendship kiss' all she wants we know what she really means ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
__(:3 」∠)_

Nah, it's just a friendship kiss. Then they'll start having friendship sex, get friendship married, and have a few friendship kids together.

"Kotori" can mean a 'small bird', and "Umi" can mean 'ocean'...

It is translated on Danbooru, I just haven't gotten around to editing it. I'm busy with other stuff at the moment, so it might take me a while to get to this. If someone else wants to work on this, just let me know so we don't end up with two people working on it at the same time.
