There was a small translation mistake -- on page 5, where it says "She might have those kinds of feelings" it should say "It might seem weird"/"She might think it's weird"/etc.

I'm not really getting email notifications for my subscribed tags anymore? What happened? Is it just me? For example, Miss Sunflower is up to chapter 70 and last notification was for chapter 67.

Same issue for me. They started getting intermittent a month or two ago, then stopped for a bit, then I only got about half of what I should have, and now I haven't gotten any for the last two weeks. They're not in spam, so I'm not sure what to do about it.

Waiting on some health issues to pass and hopefully we can get this settled once and for all.

Thank you Ms/Mr Orange

eugh, looks like they had a bad breakup or something

She's moving / has recently moved. The boxes around her are labeled for it.

or, she's graduated and/or stopped being delinquent

She's literally surrounded by moving boxes.

Did more work on the long reader thing over the weekend, still hopeful someone will be willing to integrate it with the site.

60s demo link: https://youtu.be/ZlDKfR6MQjc

I ran the demo with throttling enabled and cache disabled to best demonstrate its operation. The reader now does three passes on the page rendering, with the last two passes occurring simultaneously (to the extent possible):

1. Generate the <img> elements (could be done server-side before page is sent)
   
2. Populate the <img> elements with client-generated placeholder images to prevent reflow when reading
   
3. Load the requested page(s) according to the location fragment

Final page loading now happens in a "bubble" around the requested page#, in the following order:

requested page --> succeeding page(s) --> preceding page(s)

The number of pages it preloads after and before the current page is configurable. For the placeholder images, it uses a hack to get each page's dimensions (E: which is why you see it starting+aborting download of every image), but if it were integrated with the site properly that sort of thing could be cached on the server side and sent with every chapter request. I didn't show it in this demo, but the layout is still compatible with different display resolutions, layouts, etc.

Dynasty admins pls @ me

This isn't an official response since I'm not involved with the site's development but if your continuous scroll mode for long strip chapters embeds all images at once, it's rather unlikely to be considered.

It doesn't embed all the images at once, it loads them two ahead as you scroll. But the specific timing of when images are loaded is trivial to change. It's as simple as creating a cooldown with setTimeout if you want to prevent a user scrolling to the bottom and loading everything at once.

Here's a 90sec demo of the enhancements. You can see how the layout is affected at different display widths, etc. I made the long reader toggleable, but I didn't add a button to the UI to toggle it. For this demo, it just turns on automatically when it detects a long strip. I disabled the code to change the location hash, because I think it was triggering an existing listener to scroll the page to the top on page change -- that's why the URL isn't reflecting the current page.

I (a professional software engineer with a focus in web dev) implemented some mobile enhancements to Dynasty's client scripts and CSS. A continuous scroll mode for long strip comics, no direction icons covering the pages, etc. Is there any way I can submit these suggestions for integration with the site?

I feel like Machiru can admit to herself that she likes Seri romantically because she's not preoccupied with what other people think, but Seri is in denial because of ｓｏｃｉｅｔｙ.

Just here to echo the notification issues. I've been getting notified about maybe a third of the chapters I should have been.

Also using Gmail, and they're not in spam (or other folders).

Was that random spanish text on p76 intentional?

There's nothing unusual about the original panel — it's all just regular Japanese. So probably definitely not intentional.

EDIT: the Japanese basically says, "Don't you think fantasizing about the life between two people is fun, too?

I guess that's the power of fantasy doujin land.

This isn't doujinshi, it was published by a proper publisher.

I've read this before (probably in Japanese), what does it come from?

Does anyone know if this comic has a Japanese translation? I want to buy it, but I can't read Chinese.

No, prescriptivism is for people who know that language is a tool for communication and who want the most effective tool practically possible. It's pretty stupid not to see that and agree. (Don't level unwarranted insults if you don't want to be met with warranted insults.)

Ok loser

I remember when ending a sentence with a superfluous “with” was something only some Midwestern hicks did. But Hollywood adopted it and decided to push it, and then a share of the audience thoughtlessly began doing it.

Linguistic prescriptivism is for losers. Language is fluid and always has been — otherwise we'd all still be living in caves, grunting at each other. You calling out people for talking wrong has exactly as much merit here as it did when Japan erased a large part of the Ryukyu Islands' cultural legacy through imposing standard Japanese on their populace.

People talk different from each other sometimes. There is literally, absolutely, nothing wrong with it.

Speaking of accents and dialects, off topic but, I LIVE FOR Yoimiya's Kansai dialect. It's too cute.

Hiroshima isn't in Kansai haha. That's a bit like saying "I love X's southern drawl" when they're from California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_of_Japan

This article describes the regions of Japan. Kansai, located just west of the center of Japan's main island of Honshu, includes cities like Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. Hiroshima sits in another region, Chuugoku, located in the far west of Honshu. Besides Hiroshima, Chuugoku also includes Okayama and Yamaguchi, among other small cities.

Poor alternate-reality Tomoko.

Super tacky to put your scanlation credits over the panels imo, and on so many pages at that. It's disrespectful to the artist and the artwork.

Was that "I love you" in a thought bubble or a speech bubble or more of a feelings bubble like when flowers appear around a girl you realize is cute or

She actually said it, but in an ambiguous context where you can't be sure if it's romantic or not. The Japanese line was "大好き".

This last chapter (#3) said "imprudent" on the second page when I'm pretty sure it should have been "impudent". Both are real words, but the latter makes much more sense in the context.

In the original Japanese, sukeban girl says "flying shit" not "flying pig" lol

So after Shima saying that it's best to have the one you love give you a piercing, Ise wants Shima to give her one? Nothing to see here, folks. Total subtext.

The cover page numbering on this latest chapter is off by one (76 instead of the correct 77)
