I forgot to ask about this last chapter, so is Mahiro supposed to be blurred out a bit on the title page of her After-Story since she said she’s not a good girl or something? If it is a mistake, I don’t mind at all, though I’m just curious if it’s symbolism or anything. Anyway, I didn’t realize that Suwa was the same girl Taga was staring at until this chapter spelled it out. I’m liking all these little connections between all the stories. I guess Karen and the school president will be the focus of a chapter in the next volume, and so is the couple from “Going to a love hotel with her childhood friend.” I randomly decided to read that after looking through what else Kawauchi made, and a comment said that story’s gonna continue in Voljme 2, so that’s cool.

I’m sure people have said what I’m gonna say over and over again by this point, so I wanted to start by asking if anyone knows where the PV that’s mentioned in Chapter 25.5 is. If not, it’s all good.

Also, MangaDex says this is award-winning and I had no idea. I’m surprised, but it’s well-deserved since this is actually very well-written. What did it win?

It won a global award in the "Tsugi manga" contest 2024

Thanks! If they ever do make an anime which I guess is unlikely, I think that kind of art style would be unique. I’m sure it’s just a PV kind of thing though I haven’t watched many of them. I see there’s a Contract Sisters video too, so that seems interesting.

As for the award, I think I remember that now. I don’t remember if I voted for Snow Thaw, Convenient Semi-Friend, or this though or if I used a Japanese or English account. It’s too bad they weren’t able to get into the Top 20, but I guess that’s to be expected and at least this manga got something.

I’m glad I’m finally able to catch up! I read a bit of Chapter 16 by accident a long time ago, so I knew about the whole finding out thing, but I’ve been waiting to see how that happened since then. I don’t want to sound ungrateful though. I didn’t want to deal with MTL bullshit, so thank you to the scanlators for translating this. I just checked MangaDex now, and it’s great you were able to make the MTL folks apparently stop translating this. Thank you for the great translation (I think the scanlators are here, but I’d feel a bit silly if they’re not)!

Anyway, I was not expecting them to actually get back together, and I was definitely not expecting Fuuko’s mama thing. I didn’t like Fuuko much before although I guess I kind of felt bad for her cause she was sad over her crush… but now, I really feel bad for her. And yeah, I thought Yuni was very selfish but her behavior was kinda justified since Nanase was a bad girlfriend that was neglecting her. Now, she’s taking Fuuko’s place as the worst person in this series by far.

In my opinion, Fuuko’s still the 2nd worst even though she’s pretty pitiful, Nanase’s the 3rd worst, and Yuki’s just amazing. I feel bad for her now that both Yuni and her best friend are mistreating her, but it seems the author’s hinting that she’ll be with Nanase in the end. That’s definitely the ideal situation, and then I guess Yuni and Fuuko are more fitting for each other and will probably be happier as a couple than Yuni and Nanase would be.

Well, I didn’t expect that ending. I like it though! I thought that Kurata would turn things around, but it looks like she’s just gonna fall further and further like Kira said.

So im guessing the older sister is Meguru, and going by her reaction to the commercial, she hates all forms of physical intercourse. She wasn't actually calling Azuki herself disgusting for liking girls.

I wonder if Meguru was romantically attracted to Azuki, but Meguru got disgusted since she thought Azuki was just sexually attracted to her which made her hate lust and apparently people in general. Frankly, it seems that Azuki actually was since she’s making figures of just Meguru’s body now and forgot her face. I think it’d be interesting if Meguru was also obsessing over Azuki all this time in her own “disgusting” way, but this theory is probably wrong anyway.

I’m also wondering how Remu will react when she finds out that she was attracted to a figure of her stepsister.

Didn’t Lin-Ran like Botan or Ibuki before (I forget which one, but I think it was Botan), or am I remembering this incorrectly? I guess she moved on quickly though like Gujou if I actually did remember that correctly.

Feels like a super abbreviated version of another manga I read once. Basically, the femme is jealous (and maybe a little resentful) of the butch's semi-successful manga and upset at her own lack of success.

Maybe even a little implication that she's growing up now and that she always expected this to have to happen.

What’s the other manga you read called? It seems pretty interesting.

Oh okay, I didn’t realize that, so that definitely makes more sense. since Nagisa is anemone, I’ll have to find out what everyone else is as represented as. Thanks!

Here you go: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/anemone_is_in_heat_ch24_5#11

That’s really interesting. Thanks! I’ll try to figure out what these mean for everyone and all.

It’s been over 2 years, and I still don’t understand why this is called Anemone is in Heat. I guess I’m missing something here. The series itself is still as good as ever though.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to flower language (anemones symbolizing anticipation and a reminder to enjoy the moment, at least according to google searches). I'm pretty sure the "heat" in the title is intended as deep romantic love, not the animalistic sexuality it usually means. (Maybe something got lost in translation there, can't say for sure.)

Ah that makes more sense. I thought it was talking about sea anemone, so the flower obviously makes more sense haha. I can definitely see how anticipation and a reminder to enjoy the moment relates here. That in heat part was throwing me off too, but it definitely makes sense if it means it in that way. Thanks!

Basically all of them are represented. by a flower. Nagisa is anemone

Based on the Finger Licking tag, I thought the joke was gonna be “looks like seggs but no it’s ‘only’ finger licking.” It seems the real joke is “looks like seggs but no it’s ‘only’ finger licking but no it’s actually real seggs.”

I feel like cosplaying as a magical girl or whatever would be the opposite of a dealbreaker for a yuri otaku… but I guess Haruka just wanted to embarrass her anyway.

I don’t know much about Touhou, but aren’t Maribel and Renko not from Gensokyo? Is this an alternate universe thing then since Aya and Hatate are there too? Anyway, this was pretty good and, I guess, a unique concept too, so that was interesting.

I liked the story, but I’m not sure how this relates to the title at all. I mean, she called her an angel at some point, but that’s pretty much the only thing I could find that was even kinda related to the title. I was thinking the yuri goddess would be helping out or something.

Zanka’s writing is clearly evolving since there are two maids instead of just one.

This is definitely relatable. I will definitely miss my student discounts when I graduate in a week, that's for damn sure...

Damn, I didn't know White Sun Scans apparently shut down or whatever you'd call it. What happened to them?

If you find it interesting, you should know that this author has an ongoing serialized work https://mangadex.org/title/efbe8420-9c1a-4f06-8a81-f52f19b8eb34/yoarashi-ni-warau disclaimer... lots of hard bullying involved

This one-shot was pretty ridiculous, but, I mean, now, this Yoarashi no Warau thing is just completely absurd… looking forward to more for sure. I don’t know why only the first, fifth, and sixth chapters are translated, but, alright, I guess I’ll wait for the second one then.

I read the webcomic version up to the latest chapter I could find, and I was still reading this 'cause I thought it slightly was different... but now I finally see that this is literally the same thing but redrawn and all and apparently with some extra pages. Alright, I finally get that now after too long, but... what is the Magazine version on Mangadex? It's separate from the Serialization version, and it actually seems pretty different. I didn't understand what was happening before, and then I did, and now I don't understand again haha.

See the first post of this thread for a graphic of how the volume chapters (which this follows) relate to the web/magazine chapters and the previous scanlator's numbering.

I did see that graphic, but I was still confused since it seems like Magazine Chapter 1 is supposed to be the start of the story. So there's just ten chapters of the web comic, and then they get introduced to each other again?? I guess that's not really too ridiculous for this story since she forgets that Hiyama loves her every chapter so far... well, I get it now, that does make more more sense. At least I finally actually understand what's going on now. I don't really know where I am in the "true story" now since I read both the web version and the magazine version separately, but I'll just wait for the rest of the official version to be translated then (or reread them in this order maybe?) Thanks for the help!

Well, I'm sad that this apparently got cancelled and all, but at least we've got Teren Mikami's two other yuri stories that are essentially the same thing as this but a little different with the whole “I don’t want a lover I just want a friend but oh shit she wants to be my lover” setup.. well, the other two are pretty similar, but this one's a lot more distinct. I preferred this one since I liked the unique premise, but those two are based on LNs, right? I guess they probably won't be axed then...

I’m kinda confused about why Houzuki even did all of in the first place… I’m not sure how she met Hina either, but I guess we’re not really supposed to know that. Anyway, it doesn’t seem like Houzuki’s getting any money from Hina or anything, so is she just so lonely she tricked some random little kid into falling in love with her or did I miss something here?

Did Sakuya just make that random girl into a Lilu...? I don't remember if there are any other prerequisites or whatever (there probably are), but it seems like a weird thing to do ten pages after she was like "DON'T DO THAT TO ICHIKA..." though that's probably a special circumstance and all.
