kisses each other
like in the gay way?

No, in a perfectly 100% platonic gal pal besties forever way of course!

I find this manga so endearing. Senpai has absolutely nothing going on up there except stupid thoughts. She’s so stupid. I love her.

Hahaha, you and me, botmj, you and me. The art is also incredibly cute; honestly, some of the best I’ve seen on Dynasty recently

That's all fine and good, but why is it that the friend she consults all the time looks sus?

Wdym by that ahaha

I think they mean just in general, like there's some kind of really subtle hinting that she likes Minami herself
it might just be us being paranoid from previous reads, but a specific example would be the last panel of this page

the author didn't have to make her look so ominous while asking that question, but they did, which gives us some questions about the friend

Mm good point, didn’t notice the ominousness… we'll see what happens but in my opinion, this is reading too much into it a bit

I forgot all about this series so just reread everything before the new one

Lol same.

I too really like the gay panic moments. I hope she figures it out and asks Shiki out on a date soon! :)

If anything, isnt this type of discussion a good thing? Like, isnt it a sign that ppl are interested in the logic of the story, or how things will end up?

at this point in the story, i'm convinced the only person that likes to be around shizuku is kaori

Well her sister too (probably? Although perhaps they’re not that close)

This kind of reminds me of the one where the jaded OL finds the pretty JS passed out in the bushes in front of her apartment (can't remember the name, and there weren't too many chapters, IIRC).

That OL had a lot of frantic thought balloons about her attraction to the girl.

The girl had a bunch of money from an undisclosed source.

Not the same series, obviously.

You were thinking of A Collar Only For You, not a manhua.

Oh wow thanks for mentioning this manhua. It is v good altho idk how I feel about that BDSM stuff >.>

Pretty impressive honestly considering how many mangas are on the site.

Figured I'd drop it here in case uploaders/staff wanted to fix 'em :) (Although some of these are really old. Perhaps some of the original uploaders are no longer active.)

Website rewrite? 08 Jun 19:27
Img_1857
joined Apr 4, 2021

Don't know if this is the right place to put it but I was thinking I could help rewrite Dynasty Scans this summer for fun. I know it's a Rails app right now, but I think transitioning to a modern SPA JavaScript framework like Next.js (with React) or SvelteKit (with Svelte) could do a good amount of speed improvements. Also, the images could be resized to fit the screen of the device dynamically, so as to load the images faster. Also, perhaps Firebase Storage with App Check could be used to shield from DDoS attacks and (again) load images faster.

I'm not asking for any money or anything; the only stipulation is that I have at least some say in what tech gets used for the rewrite (after all, I don't know them all and admittedly some are nicer to develop in than others).

Just tossing out ideas. Thoughts? :)

So is there no new chapter this week or is it just a bit late? The last few chapters released on Sunday like clockwork so I might've gotten a bit spoiled lol

I think I saw the raws to the next chapter on the Please Bully Me Miss Villainess discord.. it would take some time to scanlate but it’s good to know it’s already there

Can I take a moment to just appreciate y’all commenters on this site? I must say, my literary analysis skills are sorely lacking and I like y’all’s comments for the perspectives it brings. While some comments are.. err... perhaps a bit more divisive than others, I get a lot of enjoyment reading all this, on par with reading the story itself!

I don’t know of many other manga websites that have this active of a comment section relative to visitors on the site

I would imagine Mangadex will go back to being active once they get chapter and work comments re-enabled. Though those were always a toss up on it being a dumpster fire or wholesome as fuck. I remember Nante Irinai being pretty cohesive, but Useless Princesses changing as quickly as the wind. Oh, and scanlator wars are thankfully not really a thing here. God, that was miserable.

Hmm good point. I do remember engaging in convo on MangaDex a while ago... and I do too remember that sometimes the comments could be a bit bad haha. A bit bummed that the new version doesn’t have comments, but I hardly use MangaDex anymore anyways due to the aspect ratio bug when viewed on iPhone.

Was reading this manga where MC gets to know the top of the class/school--who was supposed to be cool and everyone looked up to her--only for her to turn out to be really childish and constantly want praise from MC. Anyone know which manga this was?

For me Echoes and the Resonant Blue stories were my favorites.
However, all of them were pretty good.
I guess we are only missing one more story (The theory of fate with you)
I need more sequels to the sequels.

btw wat is your pfp? sounds like an interesting series LOL
