Not to be confused with Hanamonogatari.

Hey, just realized it's been over a year since we've heard from you. Hope you're doing okay. The place just isn't as, um, lively without you. ;)

Feels like we need an Aaaaaangst tag now, but I'm not sure where. Doesn't really fit for the series as a whole, but there's been a definite tone shift along the way.

Sometimes I wonder how my wife and two children would react if they found out that I've been reading manga since 2009 where girls kiss and swear eternal love to each other.

My wife reads yaoi, and my kid draws 18+ trans erotica, so girls kissing and swearing eternal love is about the most tame thing happening around here.

But for off-topic conversations like this, I'd suggest using the Dynasty Cafe. It isn't a pinned thread, but you can always find a link to it at the bottom of the FAQ at the beginning of this thread.

I am surprised to realize that we don't have an Ahoge tag. It's kind of a classic characteristic in manga.

Edit: ...and I just noticed that I suggested it back in 2020, too. You know what? I'm just going to relist all of my suggestions, given how old some of these were. I still think these would be helpful for finding half-remembered stories:
Ahoge
Photography
Ferris wheel
NEET

^ Murcielago?

If that's not it, you can do a search on the tag Guns and explosions

^ Found it finally! Abracadabra by Tanaka Minoru

I think we need a Ferris Wheel tag. It's such a common setting.

Any stories out there featuring women in construction/maintenance work? Thanks I would appreciate it

Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep

I hate my brain. One part of me is going, "Oooh, what a cute story!" While another part is having deep thoughts like, "Wouldn't having a string of fate just make people take their partner for granted? I bet cheating would be rampant."

Dear brain: please let me just enjoy it.

Oof ... This is shaping up to be the kind of story where I can appreciate the telling of the story, but not were I can enjoy the story told. No right or wrong choices, just feels and regrets.

^ There are a few, and most of them are older than this one:
Bread
Ice cream
Onions (but not Negi?)
Hugh Jackman (some might consider a snack...)

Anyone know why this story seems to make an appearance in here?

Something that's crossed my mind a couple times, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement....

Would it be possible to add something to the formatting for hyperlinks to show when one would take you out of Dynasty? When I post something, I try to make it obvious if it will take you to another website, but not everyone does, and with all the spam bots trying to hide their links to other sites, I feel like it would be good to have a warning -- something like tacking on the little box with an arrow leading out of it. Might be too difficult to implement, though.

Is there any manga with dragon girl (or monster girl) x normal girl? Other than Beauty x beast girl and the oneshot by Glacier clear.

Also, if not then maybe some princess saving sh"t, I am craving for a badass girl saving a girl type of manga lol

You could check the Monster Girl tag or try a Monster Girl+Yuri search. Just add additional tag filters for preference.

My reccomendations on Dynasty might include Snake Woman and Little Miss Offering and Alien Girl, but neither of these have much badassery or adventure. Could also try Kobayashi's Dragon Maid for some humor.

On Webtoons, you should check out Mage and Demon Queen which seems like it would check all your boxes. (And, as a bonus: It's complete! Edit: Although, I guess you have to use the app to read it in full. They only leave the first few chapters of a series on the web version once it's finished.) There's also The Dark Lord's Confession, but that's a bit more bi-subtext.

^ My Story of Being Loved?

^ There's a Lesbian Sidecouple tag, but I'm not really sure what they expect it to be used for. No description, and my suggestion got rejected. :(

When the bunny ears were on top of her folded clothes and on her head in the bath, I thought for sure there was something supernatural going on. Very confusing. Fine story once I stopped expecting it to go that direction.

^ Oddly, this appears to be a copy/paste of a different user's query. And the follow-up indicates that there was no brother--user was confusing it with a different comic.

The heck? "Due to external circumstances, the discussion thread for Mitsuboshi Colors is hidden from public view for the time being." -- Considering the last chapter was in 2018, how long is "the time being"? Or is this something recent?

Began reading this series this morning, and now I'm all caught up. (Goodbye daylight. I missed you.) Started out feeling kind of one-dimensional, but ended up quite rewarding.

One thing I noticed in the Things You May Have Missed chapter, it says there is no mole on her dad's left side, but we never see his left side. Since it's a reflection, that's actually his right side shown in her eye.

Read this one a while ago kind of angsty, it was about an adult couple and one of the girls kept talking about her weight negatively but her partner told her to not speak badly about the girl that she loved

Possibly this one?
Description reminds me of a few stories, but none are specifically about weight that I can find.

To think, less than a year ago I discovered this manga and proclaimed it one of the best, most original sci-fi stories I'd read in many years. And now it's gone without even a proper finish. Heartbreaking.

^ Closest I've been able to find is this one.

^ is "mimai"/"omimai" the word you're looking for? That would be something like a sick visit (often with gifts of cold beverage and easy foods), a fairly common trope in manga.
