In all honesty I don't like loli either for the same exact reasons you do. I have several friends who were molested as children, boys and girls, and the only reason I even know them is cuz I've got issues of my own when it comes to that subject. Even seeing the bullying tag makes me uncomfortable. Unfortunately not everyone on the planet will cater to your every sensitivity, as I'm sure you're aware. But when it comes to fictitious works like these... creative expression will be what it will. You just gotta grit your teeth and avoid it like fire.

But yeah. Blacklisting sounds kinda convenient.

I don't really care either way whether or not you guys put up futanari, or het, or loli, or whatever else has people up in arms. This is not MY personal reader, and avoiding the stuff I don't like is easily done cuz you guys have tags. It's really annoying when people complain about small portions of the content WHEN THE FUCKING READER DOESN'T HAVE TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. Be grateful a reader like this exists, and just avoid the shit you don't like. Like when that guy who was all, "Oshikko Sensei is gross!! Why would you put something like this up here?!?" Annoying. And what the fuck makes your perception of right and wrong the correct one and the one that THE ENTIRE READERSHIP has to be subjected to?

Sorry... That complaint was long-winded. It felt good though.

Ok... but is Tsubomi gonna release anything tomorrow?!? I'm confused... I know that Yuri Project has caught up with the Japanese releases (except for some extra things in the tankoubon) but is MrE talking only about Notes or all of Tsubomi's series?

Well whatever. I kinda knew not to hope too hard...

Fuck. They aren't releasing stuff every second and fourth wednesday?

What are the chances that a new chapter will be released tomorrow? From Tsubomi I mean.

Haah... So Yuri makes friends cuz of Fujiwara, then Yuri talks to those friends and realizes what THEY think of Fujiwara, then she feels nervous because she BELIEVES their interpretation, then she says something totally insensitive without knowing it and has to have Shinobu explain it to her?

Makes sense. Yuri always struck me as naive...

I know people like this too but I'm only 18 so I don't really talk to them. The people I talk to are around my age, and we tend to be a little too open about... everything. And I kinda thought that people who don't realize they're gay until later on were mostly products of their society, and it doesn't happen so much anymore? I don't know, I live in New York.

Who knows? Specifically, I can recall a story I read on a LGBT support site last year, written by a 40 year old woman who was describing, rather vividly, how she was feeling passionate about someone (a younger, lesbian girl who had been pursuing her) for the first time in her entire life. She had been married once, had two kids, and was engaged to be married again! Yet she never once entertained the idea that guys weren't right for her, that she was supposed to be passionately in love, etc. etc. She even said something like, "I love my fiance, and I don't want to hurt him. But I'm in love with her."

Could you say that was because during her younger years she was exposed to homophobic attitudes, or some other part of her environment? I...don't really know! My only point was, there are people like you know exactly what they are, and there others who don't. I don't believe that either is horribly uncommon.

... It's sad that people can lie to themselves so effectively. I don't mean to define things or anything, it just annoyed me so I said it. I didn't like that post... no offense Handwavium, it just pissed me off.

When they all of the sudden realize they're a lesbian? That doesn't happen much, at least to my experience.

Considering I've read personal stories where an individual doesn't realize their sexuality till in their 30's or beyond...I don't think I'd say it's totally uncommon. I guess some people are just really out of touch with their feelings!

I know people like this too but I'm only 18 so I don't really talk to them. The people I talk to are around my age, and we tend to be a little too open about... everything. And I kinda thought that people who don't realize they're gay until later on were mostly products of their society, and it doesn't happen so much anymore? I don't know, I live in New York.

In any case the guy is thrown into the manga to add more drama, and I don't see yuzu having a one sided love. Like I stated before it look as if the teacher had force that kiss on her. clearly she was upset which was shown toward the end of this chapter. I highly doubt she has any love for this teacher and is most likely going to develop feeling for yuzu ... that is just my hunch.

I agree with you. I agree with you so much that it is SAD... I wish there were less archetypical stories out there. It stunts my creativity.

WHY! do they mix guys on a yuri MANGA!!!!!

Maybe because in real life, people are often commited in a heterosexual relationship ?

When they all of the sudden realize they're a lesbian? That doesn't happen much, at least to my experience. I knew I was gay the moment someone explained to me what gay was... and it doesn't seem like Mei was in the process of coming out when she fucking tackled whatever-her-name-is. The guys are added into yuri manga to be more real to life. Real life isn't segregated by gender, even if you're at an all-girls school.

Although, this is a strange place for this manga to be true to life.

I think it deserves the comedy tag... I was laughing a whole lot.

I take that back. It definitely should not have a comedy tag.

I think it deserves the comedy tag... I was laughing a whole lot.

If it goes for five days non-stop I will forever address you as Michan-sama.

But.. there is the last omake. and Payapaya said there are 2 others from the first and second volumes...

Anyway... What the fuck was that?!? I was reading this almost solely for Haruka and Yoshiko!!!! Goddammit, Yoshitomi, I had such high expectations for those two...

I don't know why you are all think this is a joke. We have bills to pay, for example, I need the tears of freshly born baby turtles to polish my dozens of Lamborghinis. That's a lot of tears people.

... Casusby really is like Kim Jong Il...

Which form of "I" does Yuri use?

Watashi, although she rarely uses pronouns at all, hence why it's rough.

THANKS DYNASTY SCAN!!!!!

Sigh.

Thanks for the info.

THANKS YURI PROJECT!!!!!

I was wondering... Which form of "I" does Yuri use? They're always talking about how she speaks rough so I was just wondering if she uses the standard watashi pronoun or something different. She feels more like an uchi user to me but I have no way of finding out if that's right. If someone has read the raws could they tell me?

... Was this Michan's idea?

Maybe.

I like your style.

... Was this Michan's idea?

You... you scared the shit out of me. Jeez...

Oh, I know. It's just that to me it felt like he was only drawing one face type for all his characters and then on the flip side his hands were super real-looking. I felt like it was an imbalance of ability and I picked up on it quickly after reading a couple chapters... It really is a shame he was lazy though. I enjoyed it all the same.

The mangaka got in trouble for tracing his drawings. Obviously, you can't trace someone else's photos and call them your own so Prism was discontinued... In retrospect it explains why that manga was so life-like, especially the hands, but the faces looked all the same.

delayed this release and released the next chapter alongside it later

Considering the next chapter ends on basically a cliffhanger, that wouldn't have helped, on the contrary. Hey, anticipation is a good thing. It's been a long time since I actively looked forward for a new chapter of a series.

You were right. I found the next chapter and its translation on yuri project, definitely still an unsatisfying cliffhanger. I feel like I cheated a bit, not waiting for the finished project.

Also stalking the tsubomi reader. I didn't know I could get access to it, I thought I needed a subscription. This really makes me regret studying Chinese in college instead of Japanese.

And now the reader has the next chapter out. With ANOTHER cliffhanger... I wish I could read it right now....

But I wonder what was with Fujiwara's expression when she asked who Shinobu was. As far as I can tell, Yuri's been her only true friend. Maybe she's lonely and scared of losing her?

Probably a little bit of Jealousy and Hate? Lol. She (Fujiwara) thought she was Yuri's only friend.

Fujiwara probably thought that Yuri and Shinobu were going out too. For one thing, she asked Yuri if she was gay and then if she'd had any experience.

But I totally agree-- Jealousy and Hatred. That was Fujiwara's face.

I never saw that before! It totally is her! I love it when people do that...

I want this to be an anime. Now.
