Oh my goodness, Ai! Good for you, I'm so relieved!...

No cheating or similar tag is crazy work

FluffyCow posted

It had a cheating tag I think but they removed it. I think since most of the story is framed as cheating and it's only the twist reveal that shows it's not cheating that the cheating tag still should be here.

it has a cheating tag now

The mods seem to have accepted my suggestion to remove Cheating because it's literally wrong, then flip-flopped back to including it because it includes cheating as a topic/fetish despite no cheating actually happening.

This is like a more crass "Boy Who Cried Wolf Tells Another Lie Today", which is not a bad thing imo

One 32-chapter binge later, can confirm. Anyone who likes the premise of this but not necessarily the execution will most likely enjoy The Boy Who Cried Wolf Tells Another Lie Today. It absolutely appeals to me as a transbian, even if it's debatable whether it's technically yuri. The story ends while Kei is still figuring themself out, leaving it ambiguous whether they're drifting towards being a full-time trans woman like their sister, or if theirs is more of a nonbinary situation. To be clear, that degree of ambiguity is absolutely appropriate to the story being told, because it's a good freaking story you guys, oh my glob

omg Beybey is so cute!

Heck. Crap. Poop. Have I gone this long without realizing Beybey's their baby? I even used that word just a bit ago so you'd think I'd connect the dots, sheesh...

Comparing the reactions between this and Momiji and Kouyou is kind of hilarious, given they're basically the same plot in reverse.

Ema isn't pretending to be a man, she's trying to look handsome.

Ema and Momiji both realized their crush was never going to look their way, so they adopted the mainstream aesthetics of the opposite gender in order to appeal to them. Ema superficially doesn't change her pronouns, but it's still the same behavior. If anything, Ema's the less ethical of the two, since Momiji at least had the openness to spell out exactly what she was doing and why, whereas Ema is letting her friend remain densely oblivious of Ema's crush. Ema's also an adult who knows she's being manipulative and moving into her crush's home with an ulterior motive, whereas Momiji is a child figuring it out as she goes. But Ema doesn't have a dick, so I guess that makes it okay.

(To be clear, while I'd find Ema's behavior alarming IRL, it's an interesting setup for a story. I'm naturally less enthused with this one because I'm not attracted to masc presentation and have nothing but worry for this poor gullible straight woman, but I'm still engaged in a glorious train wreck sort of a way. I'm highlighting the difference because I think Ema and Momiji deserve the same amount of hate, which is none.)

Weird again to see people talking about "deserving to be translated..." [Crassness snipped]

Uh...did you not read the credits page? The scanlators specifically asked us for our opinions, so we gave them.

I'm so sad to see this go, but I'm glad it ended so beautifully, too.

E-eh what:..can someone explain the ending?? I feel like it was a cliff hanger though I could just be reading it wrong. Like what the heck?? Is the giant worm still alive, it Itou find her??? I’m so confused???

Takahashi survived, but has become too normal to stomach eating anyone for a skinsuit, so she instead went home to the Gobi desert to live in solitude. Itou* spent 2-4 years searching for her in between finishing high school and starting college, eventually getting together the resources for an expedition to the Gobi to find Takahashi. Which she did. We're left to imagine how that meeting plays out, so in that respect you could call it a cliffhanger. But I doubt Takahashi's eating Itou, so this is probably ending with Itou joining Takahashi in the hermit life. Or maybe they raid a morgue together, who can say~

*: They started calling her Yuki, so I assume her full name is Itou Yuki. But I'm so used to calling her Itou that I didn't even realize I didn't know her given name...

Welp, someone forgot to explain the stakes to the baby assassin. It's fine, those guys seem more valuable as object lessons than as human beings, anyway.

Comparing the reactions between this and Momiji and Kouyou is kind of hilarious, given they're basically the same plot in reverse.

I think whether this manga deserves to be translated really depends on whether it stays the course of being a yuri manga where one half decided her crush was more important than her gender, or falls into some old nasty ideas about lesbianism. That's not really something we can know this early on, but I'm hopeful, so I'd like to see it translated. I don't think it should be removed from Dynasty unless it actually does something truly hurtful; I don't think of this site's repertoire so much as "manga with lesbians" as "manga lesbians enjoy", given the way it often includes non-yuri works that play with gender in interesting ways while mostly avoiding "yuri" made to appeal to men. Whatever you decide, I would recommend ignoring yuri xitter, because no good conversations happen on that site.

Also

TL Note: "Keikaku" means plan.

goddammit kurisu how did you make this tired meme hilarious again im upset

Huh, it's only been two years? I'm so used to seeing your name that it felt like longer, so I guess that's just a testament to how much you do. Thank you very much.

Omg, that's so friggin cute, my heart...

Whoa, 0mniessence is back! Excellent work, and I hope you're doing well!

I think the people in this thread forgot nonbinary people exist. Like, one of my main reasons for transitioning was distancing myself as far from masculinity as possible on moral grounds. I will fight anyone who tries to tell me I'm not a woman, but in a hypothetical world where gender norms are reversed, I'd be just as fervently a man instead. Momiji seems to have a similarly utilitarian relationship with gender. She's still trans, but she arrived there as a function of her circumstances, not due to any inherent self-identity. She's not going to represent the average trans woman's experience, nor should she.

Soo, the obligatory cameo of Signum, we probably won´t had more, now Arf please

"Arf"? Who is this "Arf" of whom you speak? You're acting like there's someone really important the writer's leaving out. Next you'll be telling me Nanoha and Hayate haven't lived on an alien planet before.

eblana that's your niece

Nah, it's a dragon period. A tasty, tasty dragon period.

The plot thinnens.

Potentially, but most likely no? Without some development, the plot could easily stall at this point. But if Aika confesses, suddenly Riko is in a terrible spot. Her ability to see herself as a good person is contingent on her lolicon-ness being an affliction she is trying to cure, not an intrinsic feature of her personality. If she accepts Aika's confession, her self-image collapses, and how she develops or regresses from there is anyone's guess. If she rejects, Aika is going to have to confide in someone to cope. If she confides in her sister, then Riko's best friend now knows she's a lolicon and probably into her little sister, turning every conversation into even more of a mine field. If she confides in her school friends, then who knows who they might tell and how the story might mutate in the retelling, wreaking havoc for Riko in other ways.

Whichever way it goes, I expect glorious chaos.

So I hats gonna happen to this forbidden romance when Aika ages up considerably in 2-3 years will Riko just lose her appetite?

This would be so good (in the very plot-twist funny way. like, you are too big now, byebye) but nah, these stories tend to forget (or wasn’t the intention at all) that the MC is attracted to children after they fall in love, it’s more like they can only start relationships with children and then forwards it’s ok if they grow up

Sorta. A lot of these sorts of stories don't have the protagonist actually be a lolicon at all, with the protag's one unfortunate age gap relationship being depicted as a one-off event. The character may have an "Am I a lolicon now?!" panic attack, but ultimately decides those fears are unfounded when they fail to have the same reaction to other children. Of the ones where they are textually lolicons, many of them are short/oneshot thin books where the aftermath isn't really considered. In the rare few cases where I've seen a story about a lolicon in a serious, long-term relationship (most of which are Itou Hachi tbf), the older partner gets off less on the literal age of their partner and more of the extreme difference in age and power. Depending on the exact ages involved, they have a good 10+ years before that disparity equalizes in any real way.

To be clear, "they can only start relationships with children" isn't...wrong, exactly? But it's not a unique situation, either. It's pretty common for people to realize that partner is no longer within their usual strike range, but the preexisting romantic devotion can persist regardless so long as both parties continue to nurture that connection.

Ah, I love them...Thank you to whoever requested this!

Every bone? Some of those are really in there, you know? Like, surely some of the fidddly ear bits must've made it out?...

Everyone's saying mana transfer, but it kinda reminds me more of the Synchronizers from Tsukihime.

I think we lost Dorothy to the Perversion Impulse~

Seriously, Chisato? You couldn’t have worded that better?

She totally could have. It just wouldn't have been as much fun~

...W-what kind of work does the mob have this child-brained girl doing, again?...

i wanna see more of the first couple though

You're in luck, then. They're actually returning characters from one of the author's prior works.

is this still part of the bit

Nope, sugar. really is enough of an insane genius to respond to an axe by immediately axing the rest of the manga we thought we were reading and time skipping to the cruel realities of life. MangaDex lists the manga as ending with volume 4, which we are on, and is already the average length of the previous volumes. I'm expecting three chapters left at most, just enough to milk this absurd twist and end on a memorable note.
