The manga is ending so it won't cover the story beyond the anime anyway.

Only 4 pages but it hit so hard. I do wonder if she can be considered the same flower if she barely remembers her past 'reincarnations'.

When I wrote 'out of place', I meant in relative to the rest of the story. If the narrative were about the two of them murdering the husband and getting away with it, then it would have felt more organic. In this case, the woman just casually reveals that she was imprisoned by her husband for an extended amount of time, but the other girl has no reaction, and then it just ends with she going back to her husband instead of the police, with Tsubaki telling her to "hang in there." I would call this the real softening (and trivializing) of abuse because the narrative is treating an egregious case of domestic violence and human right violation as a tough marital situation that the woman just has to power through. It doesn't even feel right in that conversation because Yuki seems more distraught by the fact her son is turning 20. It's not about how realistic or likely such an situation is, but bringing it up and doing nothing about it just makes it feel cheap, and it took me out of the story. If you left that line untranslated, and told people to guess it with the hint that it was about Yuki's reason for not visiting the cafe, few people would have guessed it right because the narrative and surrounding context don't give it the gravity it deserves.

The 'locked away for months' bit feels extreme and out of place. Avoiding the coffee shop because she was sorting out her feelings would be more grounded.

In related news, Manio is about to start a new serialization after 3 years. Hope it will fare better than this one.

Looks like it's ending with volume 3.

I'm too lazy to type out all my thoughts so here's a summary: this series is sublime.

All the couples thus far have had happy endings, but I can only see darkness for this pair.

That wannabe detective work makes no sense. I exclusively wear my watches on my dominant wrist.

Most people wear their watch on their non-dominant wrist

A bit of a nothing burger imo.

Nothing really happened except a couple's spat.

The woman was this close to cheating on her girlfriend and might break up for real so I wouldn't call it nothing burger.

I'm really envious of the artist's sleeping schedule and quality.

Didn't know that this one only has 3 volumes. Somehow I thought it was still ongoing.

This oneshot marks Kuzushiro's return to Yuri Hime after 9 years.
What are the chances that those creepy things are summoned by Kagari hersel so she can play the protector? They became worse the day after Ageha told Kagari she was scary. The kissing is probably not required either.

Mieruko but gayer.

Hopefully Mieruko will get there someday

3 chapters left.

Could have been worse. Really wish there were one more volume so the mangaka didn't have to speed through the conclusion. Niji got the short end of the stick for sure.

Yes! You are right about that, I only added manhwa there as a extra example, not because it is under the same complains. A lot of comments under manhua are about how “gorgeous” the characters are, so I don’t think it’s about storytelling. I think manhua tries to make an anime version of real adults-people, while manhwa/manga characters obviously try to portray humanoid traits it is still more “deformed”. Basically more manhua art style looks like this, but ones with a more “standard” anime style like There's No Way I'm Giving You My Mana Again! don’t have comments like that.

I think it just comes down to manhua going for the glamorous look, while manga is all about cuteness. Neither style are more realistic than the other, but most people are just used to manga more.

Yuni's hunger for office ladies is legendary. Live your best life, girl.

I read a short collection story about her daily life on Dex by Yuni in a 4-koma style. It focused on her life with her girlfriend, who works in an office, so I think she draws a lot of inspiration from her.

Yuni was the one who worked in a office. That comic was told through her girlfriend's POV.

The art is absolutely gorgeous, but I find the writing lackluster.

Kuwabara probably bit off more than they could chew when they took on a second serialization. This series is supposedly to be monthly but releases have been very sporadic.

I think this post on reddit summarize pretty much everything that happened:

https://www.reddit.com/r/yurimemes/comments/1t1fzlb/the_kamiina_botan_author_hey_did_not_bookmark/

That clears it up. The fan art is not rape, just regular NSFW het where she enjoys it. Since we do allow het series, I suggest uploading it here so that we can see more fan arts of the series like the author wanted.

Seriously, that reads like an apologist post, down from the misleading title. Regardless of whether some fans flamed it up, the author should have known better. Even if we take him at his words that he simply likes every single piece of fan art (I personally don't buy it), it was still very unprofessional of him to not consider how fan of the series would feel see it through his account. There are thousands of serializing artists active on social media, yuri or otherwise, but we don't hear about they liking R18 fan art of their characters engaging in sexual acts with faceless men. The idea is that people want to see those kinds of images can seek them out elsewhere, and by following the authors you're only exposed to their own art or fan art that are more or less in line with what you read.

Do I think the author needs to be cancelled or harassed in any way over this? Absolutely not. And the accusation about the series ending in het is just silly. But people are understandably upset because, again, they don't expect to see hentai art of a character bookmarked by the original creator. It's even egregious in this case because yuri has long been plagued by people (both artists and readers) who mainly treat it as a fetish genre. At best, this episode demonstrates a lapse of judgement from the author. At worst, a cavalier attitude toward his own series, his readers, and possibly the genre as a whole. Ask yourself if he would have done the same thing if he was writing a hetero romance instead.

Honestly, some of the way he and some (what I think are male) Japanese fans are discussing the series on Twitter also rubbed me the wrong way a bit. Multiple comments about how sexy this or that is, and such. Nothing wrong with that normally, but I do think about it when wondering what an author is getting out of their series. It can feel like the author isn't really considering that their characters are lesbians or bisexuals, but rather treats it as an extension of CGDCT (where their sexuality is secondary). Coupled with this Pixiv stuff, I don't feel that confident about it.

Yeah, the unfortunate implication is that some people just treat yuri as a fetish genre, and don't see anything wrong with that. What I hate the most is that I don't think he wouldn't dare do this if he was making a hetero manga.

What are they saying about it? I've heard of the issue and checked their Twitter but can't really get a good idea of things.

He's framing the issue from the freedom of expression angle, saying people are free to create whatever fan arts they want, and he doesn't want to suppress it. He's not incorrect, but that's missing the point: people are not upset because that piece of degrading fan art exists, but because the original creator interacted with it and helped spread it. This is a big no-no for romance authors so I'm surprised that he didn't get it.

Hmm so Wakana is the kind that will get jealous and depressed if she is not involved with the harem making... is that right? Like sorta first wife privilege or core harem decision making?

She thought Ruruna-sama was going on a date behind her back, which made it cheating.

The author of Bad Girl was caught doing the same thing but I think he quietly unliked the offensive fan art and moved on. Meanwhile Hey is making it worse by doing damage control, which only amplifies the controversy.

Someone who's been burned one too many times, maybe? I can kinda understand the sentiment of assuming subtext until something unambiguously yuri happens.

This series is complete with only one volume. Whoever translating it should already know whether it's maintext yuri or not.

This is a short series with 7 chapters. Glad to see it translated.
