"Pale blue-green color saudade" is a mouthful. Wouldn't "Turquoise-colored saudade" work better?

This is how the author (or editor) subtitled it in English.

You should apply and show them how it's done.

Twas just a suggestion, because I thought it was a scanlation decision. No need for the sarcasm.

I guess this is one of those cases where the author's own translation of a title is kinda terrible

Was the drake equation on this page present in the original manga as well?

Also: relevant.

That was a train wreck with a surprisingly sweet ending.

Just saw the English language announcement. Come to think of it, "cupids using guns" does sound like the kind of thing that would be popular in gun-crazed United States.

Looks like part 3 has been completed but in the needs QC stage for a while

we have part 3?!

Yup, it's over at Yuri Project if you wanna check it out. The website is a collaborative scanlation effort, so all the content is open.

Wow. I mean, I like angst but the levels of fucked-uppery are off the charts in this one.

Hello! I'm looking for a very specific vibe for a sister incest manga! I'm looking for something where the two leads are for sure definitely head over heels almost fluffy in love, but where a not-small part of the drama of the story is how they handle their relationship being at best taboo and at worst illegal. I want that struggle to actually be a big component of the story! I tried "I Met My Sister on a Dating Site" and I liked it well enough but it only pays lipservice to that struggle it doesnt actually get into it. Any recommendations from you guys?

Anna/Elsa fanfiction has exactly what you're looking for. A lot of them are set in the modern world and have no relation to Disney other than the characters' names.

I know I've read one or two of those fics that absolutely destroyed me emotionally.

But if you'd rather stick with manga, the only one I can recall that's even remotely what you want is Blueprints for a Girl

I wish there were more chapters coming in the future...

considering the artist lets not or we'd get 100 million pages of melodrama

That's Saburouta

Whenever I get too tired of all the angsty manga nowadays, I know I can turn to the author of Renai Manga for some fluffy, uncomplicated l......

Lol nope.

The tags say everything. I don't need to read the manga to know exactly how the story goes and how it ends lmao

You don't even need the tags if you know the author

Kodama Naoko has been really mellow as of late, huh.

Still eagerly waiting for the next part to drop

I just found out that this has been stalled at QC-stage in Yuri Project for months. If you don't care for QC, you can go read the rest of the story over there right away.

I can't do QC, unfortunately. I'm not a native English speaker. If anyone's willing to do it, that would very much help this story get posted to Dynasty sooner.

Other than that it heavily reminded me of the movie/book Never Let Me Go, the same sad and eery atmosphere around it. And the same kind of fucked up acamedy aha

IT DOES TOO! And that's one of my favorite movies. I guess really depressing stuff can be super interesting if told the right way.

Shame it got dropped, I would like to see if they manage to burn this school to the ground by the end of this.

That was a lot of work for just a prank.

This is so stupid in such an adorable way. I love it to bits.

Finally the reveal!

And it only took 40 chapters. Practically a record for a GL story

This is like, reverse Deus ex machina.

The order of pages is messed up in the first chapter of "How do I get together with my childhood friend"

The order of the pages is messed up in chapter 1

Whoah, Arai mentions Clueless!

So, is there an actual CD with licensed music? Or just a liner of song titles for you to seek out on your own?

It's an official soundtrack for the manga you can get on vinyl or cd. Released in Japan, but also found imported in the US at Kinokuniya bookstores. Both versions come with the same booklet content. Considering they had to get license for each of them not a bad selection.

There is also an official streaming playlist that has more songs. https://umj.lnk.to/TheGuySheWasMP

Some of the choices are odd. Dani California instead of Otherside. Brain Stew instead of American Idiot. Et cetera.

"comic soundtrack" is such a weird concept

Certainly would be for a lot of manga, but it does make sense for one like this one that specifically mentions and uses a lot of music.

Reminds me of the scanlators adding the music used in the chapter to most of their downloads for Sayonara Piano Sonata. I wonder whether Dynasty still has those included here as well...

Or Webtoons having music play in the background of important chapters, etc

Always Human had great background music, true. But it feels weird for stuff like manga or books.
