Ok, first, fuck no. It is a white colar crime with no real victims.

So if I manage to steal your life savings it's okay because no one was physically harmed? Just asking.

Read my post. I never said it was OK and I also didn't say anything about "physically" harmed. I stand by what I said.

Furthermore, even if you stole my life savings (which, to be clear, is not the same as embezzlement and the fact you think it is is a you problem), I still don't think you should be imprisoned.

Btw, I won't be responding further. Cropping my post to make so the "misunderstanding" of my position sem more believable is a clear sign of bad faith and there is only so much I wish to engage with.

Ok, first, fuck no. It is a white colar crime with no real victims. The fact the punishment is jail is a problem in itself (not there shouldn't be a punishment, just that isolating from society should be reserved from people who are actually dangerous for society). But more importantly, it doesn't actually impacts anything in her capacity of being a parent. Taking away a child from someone who is no danger for the child is cruelty, plain and simple.

I mean yeah embezzlement from a bank is pretty serious. But it wouldn't stop her from going back home afterwards unless her husband was... less faithfull than he should have been.

Actually though, what changed between her arrest and getting out of jail that she just can't see her daughter anymore? Now I can't wait to see next chapter to find out what her ex-husband did. Did he go back to gambling??? He better fucking not have

Given how other characters were talking about it, I think it is a case of "Is a criminal = is terrible unfit to be near children" mentality, where the taboo regarding crime overrides everything and Matsuri is persona non grata and assumed to be a bad influence to her own daughter.

But, yeah, I am very curious what the husband is doing now. Did the fucker went back to gambling? Is he the one keeping the daughter away (he probably have custody)?

Being kinda silly is probably the point right? I imagine the point is about stigma and prejudice.

I think I'm going to find this one extremely frustrating. I'm going to eagerly read each chapter hoping this is the one where this pseudo-couple turns serious. Then being totally totally bummed when it's not.
I wish they put series like these under another tag other than yuri, so yuri purest like me don't end up banging our heads against the wall, in frustration, every time a new chapter gets posted.

I thought the subtext tag was supposed to be used for that and changed to yuri when it becomes appropriate. I figured the uploader knew something we don't (either because there are more untranslated chapters, author commentary or magazine it is published in) and that is why it got yuri right away. But if not I think subtext is more appropriate for now. Then again, I think all the author's works are yuri right? So it is probably fine. Probably just a slow burn.

I hate “girl cheat on her shitty bf with a girl” because I think “girl cheat on her shitty gf with a girl” it’s better and a dynamic I wish was explored more, buuut the art style is beautiful so who cares

I mean, this story isn't either. Neither girl cheated on their shitty boyfriends.

hell yeah, I love that Ren goes from "wait am I gay?" to hooking up with a woman at the lesbian bar within seemingly 2 hours of time.

She's clearly a go-getter, but a surprisingly introspective one, too. I wonder what personal history has resulted in her having such developed interpersonal skills and such an intense isolation at the same time.

The impression I got was that she tried to date for real for a time but never actually felt anything for her boyfriends. So she is a lesbian with a big hetero dating history, I think. She got good at dating and made it her part time job, but figured she was just wasn't interested, without realizing she was just a lesbian all along.

We're just calling anyone a villainess now.

I guess "villainess" just mean "haughty rich lady in vaguely 19th century Europe setting" nowadays.

Man, that is an old image is it not? Pretty sure I've seem it years ago. Or maybe just one with the same meme format and pair.

I've never played Fire Emblem so idk how the gameplay is, but as someone who plays romance VNs and/or RPG with romanceable options, it's kinda funny to think that, sometimes, that's prolly deadass what my character appears like. No thoughts, must marry chosen LI lmao

Most Fire Emblems aren't like that, but this one very much is, lol.

I’ve been trying to map out how much longer this series has, but there’s no way the next chapter is the last chapter right? At least two to three to give them a proper conclusion right? (Although I personally wouldn’t mind it continuing on as an episodic series like Assorted Entanglements with some more occasional character development)

It is not. There is a Korean version of the next chapter on Mangadex and it is not the end just yet.

The woman on the right is wearing the modern uniform of ama divers, a traditional culture of women divers who dive deep without scuba or air tanks to catch food, pearls and other natural sea bounty. No wonder one of them would meet a mermaid.

"Who should I believe, the knight who repeatedly saved my life, or the merchant I just met who's price gouging the people while pretending to be friendly?"

Yeah. Like, there is an argument Frost didn't do much to deserve such devotion and loyalty (sure, she saves people from immediate harm, but she does seem fine with neglecting the town otherwise). But a shady merchant you just met is not any better, lol. Specially one who directly profits from Frost's negligence.

If one was to seriously challenge the morality of the Black Knight, it can't be the president of the company who got rich out of exploiting people.

I don't know how you can come up with "King of Japan"...

本日 is one wrong blink away from 日本. 主 is very close visually to 王. Neither are mistakes a fluent reader would make (well, at least not at a second glance) but, like, it is not hard to see how someone with a passing knowledge on the language could arrive at that.

“You’ve been sitting there for the last hour or so, right?”

Wait…. You’ve been watching her for an hour?

I mean, given she had the time to go and piss off some people in the meanwhile I imagine she didn't watch for the whole hour, lol. My guess is that she noticed a lady sitting alone and then an hour latter noticed the same person sitting in the same place and made an inference from that.

I just started but I find very amusing the setting is described as "1355 Roman empire". That is entirely accurate, to be clear, but I pretty much only ever see it being called "Medieval Germany" or "Holy Roman Empire" in English media. To see it being called just "Roman Empire" without any qualifiers is very novel.

It has nothing to do with the show proper. Basically, Bandai have gone out of their way to muddle the waters regarding the main couple's relationship, refusing to let it be explicitly referred to as "marriage", etc. What makes different from other queerbaity cases is that the show itself wasn't actually ambiguous. They never said the word "marriage" directly, but the couple were engaged for the whole show and in the epilogue they were wearing wedding rings. The attempt making ambiguous something that very clearly was not infuriated a lot of people.

They are actually really married. They been engaged from episode 1 and in the last episode they are married.

Manga transwomen are always beautiful. No adam apple, no large shoulders or hands, no square jaw. Always pass flawlessly.

Man, you do live in a bubble if you think this is what the majority of manga transwomen are like. The default of anime/manga is, in fact, super muscular, has a square jaw and adam apple as well as a poorly made beard. Even when literally nobody else in the story has such strong features. They are also usually treated as being the same thing as gay men.

When a manga has a transwoman who is not like that it is becaue the manga is actually trying to be respectiful and not treating transpeople like a joke. Thus, it depicts transwomen like it treats all women (and, in fact, many men): beautiful, slender and with delicate features.

Why Mitsuki take off her glasses when reading on her phone？
presbyopia in her age？

Maybe she's just far sighted and finds them annoying when reading? It's a bit odd though.

She is probably near sighted (myopic). That is what the "near" means, you see just fine nearby, you only need glasses. It is not odd at all if that is the case. I am myopic and so is most of my family, we usually take our glasses to read, it is actually a bit uncomfortable with them. My mother was very advanced in her presbyopia before she started needing glasses even at short distances.

(also, removing glasses to read is the opposite of what you would expect of someone with presbyopia)

Yeah, that last line was the only thing that made me really confused. No idea what she was talking about.

Honestly, it didn't feel that confusing to me? They are obviously in different parties because Mitsuki is with her uncle (and apparently some other adults) and Aya seem to be with a bunch of teenage girls. That would be an odd group to be in the same party, so they clearly are in different places.

Now, where Mitsuki is is a bit confusing. I assumed it was her uncle home or something like that, but given Aya was able to get there, I guess it is probably the store. I imagine uncle closed it for the christmass party.

Not totally sure what she means by did i get here before santa means tho.

My guess is it is before midnight of the 24th.

For all we know, his real name is "Jotaro" but as he was in the "Rock scene", he got the nickname Joe.

To add to this, it is not uncommon to make foreign sounding nicknames out of common Japanese names. An example is taking the name Jо̄ji and stylizing it as "George", as both kinda sound similar.

So, yeah, until stated otherwise I assume it is just a nickname, possibly formed from his given name.

The amount of people feeling called out on the teacher thing only 100% proves the point Kanon is making - there was almost no basis for her having "a thing for the teacher" in the story, and people in real life are similarly obnoxious about that kind of stuff.

The fact that she called out Saki and the audience proves that the narrative itself expected people to come to this conclusion. This is a story, so it is only natural the audience reacts to story conventions, and those conventions very much did imply Kanon might have a crush on the teacher. The fact that the story later actively and explicitly pushed back against said conventions doesn't change the fact it used them deliberately to create an effect. The point that the story as proving is not that the audience is stupid, but that basic narrative conventions are often bullshit and heteronominative.
