Easy choice, becoming hers!

Not before the poison gets her first.

I don't think it's lethal, it's just poppy seed fumes, read: opium. Not sure if that small of a dose can knock grown-up people out so fast in reality, but it should be far below the deadly dosage even in this world.

Heck yeah, am I down for another wuxia yuri!

Murder wives!

The best kind of couple.

Question/Remark for the Scanlator:: are "Gesang" and "Lanze" supposed to be german words, or chinese ones that just happen to look like that? As those are terms for (suspiciously blonde) "Westerners" both seem possible.

Gesang is a Tibetan flower. There's a symbol of it on the first page just above the hand holding the knife. I have no idea how relevant that will be in the future lol. And I think Lanze is just a coincidence.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The ambivalance had me lowkey out of my mind.

You were not along in that, and another thanks from me. :D

I hope it's not a split personality thing and she really was just messing with the bandit

Judging from the series blurb, "Lanze" is actually an undercover agent herself, so it seems like all of it was very intentional on her part. My guess is that she has been vetting her entourage for those actually loyal to her, and the bandit appears to be the only one who actually is. Though Jiujin does mention her "real mission" once, so that's still up in the air...

I don't think "wasn't happy" is quite the right descriptor. Rather, I think she's catching feelings for Aya and being attracted to someone who's already in a relationship is making her uncomfortable.

Narita will be on the case to find her a girlfriend.

Wingman skill at 999.

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.

Yea, that makes a depressing lot of sense.

Space opera? In MY manga? It's more likely than you think.

Just in case we forgot the "ultra deep space" part. :3 But I must admit a weakness to the cheesy rubber-forehead alien trope...

Did Yura just yeet Ruruna into the sea? :D

So... they were both bottoms?

a succubus's natural enemy... someone on the ace spectrum

Is anyone else absolutely exhausted by the prevalance of "jealousy is an important aspect of romantic attraction and its a problem if you don't experience it"

No more than by the prevalence of "insecurity is a normal aspect of human psyche and the bedrock of most stories about relationships". :-)

Is the implication here that insecurity is rare and unusual? Cause I would say it seems like a thing that happens to most everyone at one time or another.

I think Koveras is saying insecurity is common in relationships, both in fiction and irl, which is part of jealously. So they're basically saying insecurity and jealously don't bother them because they're normal parts of being human and relationships.

Maybe I'm reading their response wrong though lol

No, you are absolutely right, thank you. :-) In my experience, both personal and second-hand, insecurities are very common, especially at the start of a relationship, because it always takes time to build genuine trust.

Those saying this is a happy ending, how serious are y'all? I mean, when I look at Yuina's face on the last page, I see nothing but terror, as it dawns on her that she's just traded one abuser for another, one with no qualms about killing.

Just unwittingly seducing her some more... :D

Ah yes, the famed Mitsuki Koga School of Seduction.

Except worse because she has a choice in her actions, she just doesn't realize it anymore.

Well, her daughter may choose to live in big cities alone, but she herself, living under this constant repression for tens of years, probably doesn't find it possible to find another way for herself other than continue to live with "family". And if she didn't force her daughter to apologize, or even maybe try to defend her daughter, she might have to live her life even harder since then.

I can't say I agree with her decision, but I can see how that decision may be made.

Yep, it's a lot harder for older folks to leave high-control environments into which they have invested much of their life than for younger people.

Japanese society as a whole working on the same principles undermines the story.
She simply went from a small cage to a bigger one.

The difference of being held captive in a human-sized cage and a whole house.
At least she can walk around a little now.

That, plus the fact that the small cage, she was born in, and the big cage, she chose for herself.

As many folks have sad, it's sad that the axe claimed another victim, but this series was great while it was ongoing. Looking forward to whatever Suou and sometime cook up next...

Looks like where her father failed and Frost prevailed was having someone to anchor your mind to resist the armor.

The trick to prevailing over any adversity is a really energetic go-getter wife.

It appears that not even fellow vampires recognize Shirotae, otherwise I don't think Sara would try to geass-light Utao in front of her.

That's so cute she can shape shift into a bat-bunny looking thing ^_^

The most adorable vampire I've seen since Arcueid.

It's hilarious that, after all those wild cards were laid on the table, the thing Elsa laser-focuses on is "cool, we can bang now".

she's got her priorities straight, alright

I am not sure "straight" is the word you wanted to use there.

I mean titles when there is only friendship don't have "yuri" tag. It don't stop people from shipping them and call it yuri tho.

There is also the Subtext tag, which can be placed pretty much on any interaction between women that isn't explicitly about their Het relationships. Yuri goggles are a thing, and back in the day, they had actually mailed you one when your registered an account here on Dynasty.

Would a threesome in this series just be her eating parfaits with her current girlfriend and ex together?

So lewd.

I feel like the market is filled with a lot of yuri hat is more for the mainstream these days and all the popular ones are toxic and full of pointless drama. -.- It feels like that phase in the western world some years ago. Where lesbians finally did appear in media more, but always got messy het oriented storylines and bad endings.

That's how slow the Overton window shifts, unfortunately.

^ Yea, it's because most vampires do little self-reflecting.

Translator note: Aya now calls Mitsuki with her first name instead of "Koga-san". And Mitsuki makes a show of calling her "Oosawa-san" when speaking with Joe, but then, at the end, calls her "Aya-san".

The fact Mitsuki still uses a polite "-san" speaks volumes about who's on top.

Thanks for the insight, and for your translation work!

Soooo, what'd be more awkward? Sexy times in her childhood bed or in the bed of her dead sister~?

Both options are amateur hour. Sexy times in her moms' comfy double bed is where it's at.

Next level switch - switching it up right in the middle.

Next level after that: switching while your partner is switching.

“I’m using your account to slander the guy who took this peep photo.”

Makino is one of my favorite MCs. She’s a scumbag in all the right ways.

See, if you are a scumbag to hurt others for your own gain, it's bad. But if you are a scumbag to protect your wife, it's good, actually.
