Good

Impossible.

great teamup with great credits

Thank you gayer

Nononon and Yumimi are my favorite pair by a significant margin. It's hard to express how much I appreciate how sugary they are together. May they get a room soon so there can be much more hugging of the softness.

Nice work. Happy to see more sumiko.

Cute

I think the ending to chapter 16 is a little mean-spirited, so be sure to read 17 right after.
We're now halfway through the manga, and after 18 I'll be taking another break for Liar Satsuki.
It's going to be an interesting spot to pause.

Thank you for doing both at once, I greatly appreciate it.

Enjoy courtesy of riverFlower and I. Special thanks to the author for providing textless images.

No u

I'll try my hand at a sort of description akin to the OP

Seabed: https://vndb.org/v19273

Synopsis: SeaBed is a yuri-themed mystery kinetic novel told through the perspectives of three separate characters: Mizuno Sachiko, a designer plagued by hallucinations of her past lover; Narasaki Hibiki, Sachiko's friend and a psychiatrist researching the workings of human memories; and Takako, Sachiko's former lover who has been rapidly forgetting her past, including how or why the two women drifted apart despite being together since childhood.

Duration: medium (10-20 hours depending on reading speed)

Gameplay: Seabed is a kinetic novel, and as a result there are no choices or branching paths as the narrative is entirely static. Instead of using game mechanics to "investigate" a mystery as some others do, the mystery is for the reader themselves to solve or interpret as they read the work. The work will periodically change perspective to one of the other central three characters as they live their lives with surreal undertones.

Yuri: The central characters of the work are explicitly gay growing from childhood friends to adult lovers and despite what the synopsis may imply, there is no question of their love for each other at any point.

Version: I believe the switch version is slightly updated and therefore the best but the PC version on steam is perfectly fine enough.

Sexual content: off screen only, though there are some scenes with censored nudity.

Recommended?: Yes, it's my favorite work of fiction of all time due to how it tackles the concept of connections and memory. This was very emotionally meaningful to me, and for those in the right place in their life, that feeling seems to be shared. The prose is closer to a book than it is to a typical VN and is described by some as putting the reader in a trance. Really others put it in better words than I but it's a very unique VN in writing style and pacing compared to other more contemporary examples I've played such as Kindred Spirits or A Summer's End.

Extra information: due to how unusual this VN is and how people engage with it, if you want to know if it's right for you, I highly encourage looking at the vndb reviews. All 8 of them in my opinion capture a pretty sincere response to this work at its best. It's a very hard work to review and I can't match up with what is said with equivalent or greater quality. There is a reason why the voting statistics are skewed entirely left. https://vndb.org/v19273/reviews#review

I welcome salt, especially if from april fools. I need it to make my food more savory.

Here it is after real QC. I didn't expect for the former april fools version to be as polarizing as it was despite it being a simple shitpost that didn't even obscure much from a completely legit (though not QCed) translation.

If you are curious about the translation process and found the previous work amusing, I'm sorry to say that QC is pretty professional and not very interesting beyond learning as no shitposts are found there.

I hate this. Once it gets some real QC, it'll be uploaded in a state that is readable by humans.

I don't believe you KH, you can tell me it isn't a soul crushing one shot, but I'll believe it when I see it!

Rather cute and lovely.

The moment I saw the absolutely lovely alien yuri from agu, I stalked their twitter. The moment I saw they had a post about this specific work being made (AND IT WAS ADULT LIFE), I knew I had to scanlate it. Very happy it could please others too.

Rather good title and very cute. OL yuri leaves me only wanting more.

I already like the novel version even better. Thank you so much riverflower!

More water yuri needed. Cute

It's very sad no longer having such a staple monstergirl yuri series. Sadly so far as I know there is no replacement involving adults that exists...

At least this work did exist for such a niche. Please make a satisfying ending neji.

Very lovely.

Cute story, was worried it was going to get sad for a sec.

Love how the sparkles look on the credit page, looks like they're actually glowing.

Those sparkles were a nightmare to deal with! I'm glad it came out well and that people like it.

No sepia, no love

This was so cute, I hope she gets to eat soon. ;_;
