If this turns into Air Master I am out.

Air Master was a great manga until the rape+pregnancy episode at the end... and I don't think anyone understands what possessed the author to do that stupid shit.

The anime is way way better, among other things because no such end.

I hate to ask, but please elaborate.

I take it you don't know the story neither from the manga nor the anime?

Well, the setting in both is that there are underground tournaments where streetfighters compete for glory and prizes. Maki, a tall, moody, tomboyish schoolgirl, is one of them. She's the main character, a streetfighter nicknamed Air Master.

Several people are romantically interested in Maki. Her friend Mina is the most noteworthy, she's a sweet, feminine, beautiful girl with big breasts. In the anime, Mina is Maki's main love interest. The best story arc in the anime is the Black Society arc, where the leader of a street gang kidnaps Mina to make her his slavebitch and Maki has to fight through literally hundreds of minions to get to the bastard; then she defeats him and rescues Mina. The things they say to each other, after the battle is over, make obvious that Maki returns her feelings.

In the manga, Maki never seems to take Mina seriously. Maki's other suitors have bigger roles. One of them, a tough guy named Sakamoto, is a total psycho. Every time he fights Maki, he tries to rape her while they fight! In their last fight, he comes very close, but Maki stops him before he succeeds (or so it seems). Then, in the last arc of the manga, Maki and other streetfighters face an otherworldly monster named Eternal. Lots of supernatural things happen during the fight, including the appearance of a mysterious girl from the future who helps them defeat the monster and then vanishes again (she returns to her timeline). In a shocking final reveal we learn that the girl from the future is the daughter of Maki and Sakamoto! It turns out that, in that last fight, Sakamoto did manage to rape her a little bit—just enough to make her pregnant. In 9 months, Maki will give birth to a girl who, sixteen years later, will time-travel to the past and help her mother beat Eternal.

This development was not well-received by many readers. In fact it's been called one of the worst endings ever.

This is a very cool story but some transitions are a bit odd. Like from ch2 to ch3 how they suddenly are on a boat. At the end of ch2 they are in a court hall at the palace, at the start of ch3 they are on a boat and in the middle of a conversation, and the beginning of the conversation seems to be missing. In fact you don't even realize that they are on a boat until the main girl falls into the water, because the panels mostly lack backgrounds!
I wonder if perhaps there are pages missing. In ch2 there's no page 5, it goes from page 4 (everyone still in that court hall) to page 6 (the credits) and then in page 1 of the following chapter there are in that boat (and BY is giving a cryptic reply to something we have no idea about). The transition is so abrupt as if some events were missing.

Ahh sorry, you're right! There's a page missing from ch2 where the transition from the court hall to the boat happens. I'll fix it in a bit, though there's nothing wrong with the starting of ch3 >.< Sorry for the inconvenience

Oh so that's why! I also was confused by the change in both situation & dialogue between those two chapters. I hadn't noticed that page 5 in chapter 2 was missing. Thxfully someone more observant did notice!
We appreciate much your effort and work at translating this manhua. TIA for the fix!

One yuri Korean manga I'm reading has a part that's really shocking. The lead character walks into a shop, finds it empty but there's noise at the back room; she goes in and discovers the shop owner trying to rape a girl who works for him. The guy says it's not what it seems: there's money missing and he suspects this girl to be the thief, so he wants to make her pay with her body. Lead character reacts like this is 100% reasonable and gives him money enough to cover the loss, then leaves with the girl who later becomes her gf. Orz did anyone say culture shock??

Tbh the yaoi fandom is mostly just a bunch of het women so that's where the problem is.

Gross generalization, absolutely not true.

Having sex with someone shitfaced drunk, without any pre-existing consent, a virgin no less...

They were both very sober by that point, having a serious and coherent conversation about important life issues. And afterwards, it should be plain and evident by the way they talk and behave in the last 3 pages that everybody consented to everything.

Yuna's been looking forward to both of them working from home.

I must be completely mixed up, I remembered it the other way around. I kind of recall Yuna worried and angsted bcs if Rena works at home there'll be tons of strange women (her customers) coming and going all the time and their home won't feel like home anymore.
Maybe I'm recalling another story, or maybe Yuna changed her way of thinking at some point? I really should reread this, it's been too long.

I refuse to believe Saki didnt know about boys intentions. Chika was just being a busybody and ruined Saki's hussle for a free ticket.

This development mildly annoyed me tbh. There's nothing wrong with going to the concert with that boy. The ticket was a no-strings offer, a free gift. If he secretly expects something in return, that's his problem and Saki is not bound by any of that.

Chika acted in a way you see a lot in mainstream boy x girl romcoms. The girl has a chance to do something that she likes or that is good for her but that will also make her closer to other boys in the cast, so the mc boy sabotages her plan (without explaining his reasons) and afterwards keeps pretending he isn't interested in her. This always struck me as perfectly crappy. If he cares so much he should ask her out and start dating her; only then he would have valid grounds to tell her to turn away other guys. This is what Chika should do if she wants to stop Saki from getting too close to other people: claim her! Not get in her way with half-assed excuses.

How the husband isn't doing his "due diligence" and getting cucked by a Loli is beyond my understanding.

Yeah how can anyone choose a loli over a big strong man, right?
You sweet summer child.

Nene, in her comment, simply manifested her surprise at the fact that nobody in this forum seemed to have noticed the irony of that moment—or, if they noticed, to think it was worth mentioning.

I get this is about an instance of involuntary humor but I don't get it because the OP's Spanish. What's the funny moment?

Getting cucked by a girl as a guy seems fine to me.
Though I've never been in an actual relationship so what the fuck do I know?
IWAE! He hath awakened to Yuri

This is taking a hentai concept more seriously than it's meant to be taken, but I would not be okay with it. We have a deal, an implicit contract. Having sex with other people is not part of the contract. I do not care if it is a woman.

Hm, maybe renegotiate the contract? As in it's ok with a woman as long as you can watch?

Blonde girl, your convincing power is zero.

It's not like that, she swears!!
... She swears, while sucking happily on a sweet treat which I estimate is half melted popsicle and half Hinoko's saliva. Kinpatsu-chan truly has a problem of credibility.

Also that girl has a different hair clip doesn’t she, I wonder if it means anything. Like a different timeline or something

They're literally "A" and "B", not sure why more people haven't mentioned it yet!

You heard it here first: they are identical twins and the hair clips are the only way to differentiate them.
