Of course it's still there, nothing she's brought in has ever left...

For those, like me, who weren't sure what the Setsubun chapter was...

As ever, what fun continuity

I'm pretty sure those cherry hats are connected at the stems. OMG THEY'RE REAL!!!!

Ha, that's amazing, I kept trying to figure out if "Yamagata Cherry" had some kind of hat pun double meaning...

If this series ever gets merch, a Bath Tsukino would be great.

I wonder if the panels (border) will be gone tmr?

Tragic that Pageratta missed that trick to keep continuity. I thought maybe the idea would come back in a few issues instead of every comic if it was just that room where the frames were torn off of the panels, but "Innovation" seems to be in that room and the lines are back?

Oh well, still the best!

Awww, too bad it looks like a oneshot~ This has potential!!

Looks like it's part of a multi-volume anthology of sorts, so sometimes there are sequel chapters in these. But for now, just this.

Wait, NOW there's continuity?!

I believe that, secretly, there has ALWAYS been continuity? This thread has a bunch of notices of little background details and sometimes even primary elements (such as the convertible car) which persist through later episodes.

It's just that, in between pages, one way or another after a bit of this and that, things go back to normal... mostly.

Oh heavens, my heart! Don't do that again manga, please...

...Sorry to interrupt the endgame discussion here, but is anyone else having technical issues with ASMR2? That chapter is crashing my web browsers (both Chrome and Dolphin, on an Androids reader) when I try to open it. Weird, I don't know what image format could crash a browser but it's the first I've seen that prob on Dynasty before.

i may be misunderstanding the story, but could the bird dying be a good thing? the birds name is the name of the curse so it dying shows the curse is also dead. showing there not connected by a curse but through love?

Could be? I can't tell, this Bleached book of one-offs is really twisted. Check out the previous Suicide story chapter (if interested) and see if you feel differently or more strongly about this after the ending of that one. Both are open-ended,both could maybe be seen in a different light, but both seem bleak on the surface for sure, and I don't know that it's not dark all the way down...

Radio seiyuu learns the old-fashioned way to 'Tune In Tokyo'

Good stuff.
I do wish there was at least one more page, something of Amato making a bit more of a connection with the couple at the concert. She did well in confronting her feelings and making a move to relate to her would-be's relationships, but it felt transactional where it was left off. Her mind is set to try confessing to Maki, but that's for later. For now, there's an opportunity to genuine exploration these three's own commonalities, which may make the polycule easier (or harder, if it doesn't click, but at least she'd know what she's up against,) but also might just make 2 new friends (one of whom is vetted on some level as a cool hang with by your best friend / would-be gf.) Clearly, there's a lot of shared interests for you three to talk about. Enjoy the show!

I mean, hot, of course, but... These pics are all post-event, and 3/4s of the ladies still have lingerie in the work area or even stretched out half off? What a brutal disregard for the value of undergarments!

"I'm so glad Ruirui is still alive..."

...Uh, am I not remembering Cry for the Moon right, or is this not an extreme thing to say about someone who simply quit being a pop star?

Teenagers are the worst.

I dunno who the bubbles were but it definitely wasn't either of their first times lol

That's the fakeout. It's the two of them, but they aren't having sex. They're talking about going on a brothel tour. And the suggestive "squeeze" is Sempai grabbing Asumi's hand as they walk to the airport terminal to head to the next stop.

Thank you for breaking this down! I knew it was a bait-and-switch joke but I couldn't figure out the context.

I am so ready for senpai to be an even bigger bottom than Asumi.

Sorry to disappoint but she's a dom. And fittingly Asumi is (hopefully) gonna get fucked by her right after discovering that she enjoys being a sub.

We’ll see. Not everything someone says, especially someone with a personality like senpai, should be taken as gospel.

I think there may have been posturing on senpai's part too, that there's more to her personality beyond what she presents in public. Or not, but I hope the manga shows her in a private situation. (And personally, I question if there would be much of a story if she was just an amped-up dom over Asumi in the bedroom as out... which might be a reason that it didn't and maybe won't happen?)

Would be fun to at least get a mini from senpai's perspective (we have had Mai and even Naomi sections so far) and see what she's like in the room? Is she a ball of excitement like she tells it? Is she secretly demure and contemplative? Does she just adrenaline-crash from the anticipation and alcohol?

Fugg, I totally forgot what the ending was for this manga, and so it caught me AGAIN in the extras.

The word used is "Ikemen" which technically applies to men only (the woman equivalent would be Ikeonna). Since it echoes her line in the first page, I kept it as is.

iirc I've heard some Japanese sources advocate for it being inherently (vs colloquially) gender-neutral based on the idea it's 面 rather than メンズ or something, but that seems to be splitting hairs since it's obvious in context and the "handsome" implication seems to be baked in either way. I do run into/like イケ女 (as イケジョ) occasionally and which apparently predates イケメン but it seems less common.

If "ikemen" has the concept of handsomeness built in, then it seems like "handsome hottie" or something like that could have worked instead of "hot guy". That'd be something that tends to imply masculinity on first read (and it is accurate in her first use of it) but then defies assumptions and broadens in meaning in the second use. Let the reader (and character) redefine the term as the story goes along.

But it's fine, readers get it (though some minor triggers could come from some irritated from having been misgendered or insulted,) and anyway, I don't think this character is quite so considerate in how she speaks until the moment hits her.

Yeaaah no this story doesn't work. The personae are all wrong.

The main character met this cute girl Ellie; they hit it off, went for drinks, enjoyed a pleasant evening together, and kissed before they said goodbye.

The reasonable next move is obviously the mc calling a U-haul. Duh!

And then her heel gets stuck in a grate on the way home one night together, and here comes Truck-kun...

Honestly, I've had people like Ellie, who breeze into people's lives but are just made to keep flitting. Not had surprise kisses like that to confuse things, but there's been nights out where you imagine you'll be doing this with this person every weekend, but you know deep down why this night was what it was, and then a little while goes by until you're running into them with others and cordially chatting about vague plans to do something again sometime...

They made a moment, not a match. Moments are still valuable to make.

Fingering the trigger..

The credits page makes fun of the timing, but I actually love that there are a few COVID-related manga!

I keep a disc of some COVID era entertainment, as a reminder of what this unique time (hopefully...) was like, what we were feeling, how we coped, and where we found our strength to persevere and look forward to a future.

...this would be one of those stories where you give an extra 1 page to show the two women get it together in a much more wholesome way.

Naw, a good conversation at a bar can be it's own bit of romance. You don't have to go home together to have a moment of connection and insight and even passion.

Sweet, the series is complete. Thanks for working on all three chapters.

It is cute, for sure... But a Chocolate Almond? No, it's not going to break like that!
Be careful out there, young lovers, not everything in real life works the way it does in Yuri manga.

Are we being punished now we finally got a sex scene out of this?

Wait, you consider short chapters in between a kind of punishment?

I think it's just that the minis are coming right as things have gotten juicy. Hundreds of chapters fly by with a lot of teasing of possible moments, a moment finally hits, and next -- oh, hey, look at this other stuff for a bit...

I'm really liking the minis though. (I'm actually way behind, so I'm spoiled in this thread on what's in recent chapters... Virgin's Empire had a sex scene?!) The minis have been quick quips that I can get some of the author's take without committing to 260 other chapters.

I admittedly rushed the translation, so it's more likely my fault. I'll revise the page when I get a chance.

Small suggestion if you do (maybe not worth it?) is if there's any other word besides "sake" in the last panel that would work, try a different translation? I spent a foolish bit reading the last line and thinking, "Wait, why are they talking about 'saké' all the sudden..."

...Or maybe I just read to much Japanese stuff and need to remember English words still exist?

So, that is Gelato Pique they're wearing at the end in the last panel, right?

... Is it just me, or do those look like rather uncomfortable pajamas?
