Had a look at the raw of the first chapter. Miyako is the surname written with the kanji for "palace" and "old", while the given name Asahi is written in plain hiragana (宮古あさひ).

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Can someone explain what's going on with the main characters' names? It shows one as "Haru Fujinokawa," which seems written western-style, but the other says "Asahi Miyako," which seems Japanese-style. Or is her given name Asahi? Miyako is a given name I've heard, but I've never heard it used as a family name.

Asahi reminds me a lot of Yuzuko from Yuyushiki. Ah, what might have been.

That's not how gravity works.

^Great song from a great album.

Third panel on this page is one of my single favorite manga panels of all time.

A lot of the strife being caused is from the word choice people decide to use. I see a lot of "this is X" instead of "this feels like X to me." I also see a lot of responses to people who say how they feel that are completely unnecessary and trying to undermine their interpretation. Neither is productive and both lead to pointless arguments.

Paprika the spice or Paprika the film?

I just assumed "yuri vs lesbian" was acknowledging that bisexuals exist. Oh well, one can dream.

I appreciate that the author didn't try to condense several volumes worth of story into the chapters they had left. This is actually a really cool way to end a series that's been axed, and I wish more creators were able to find the strength to say, "Look, this was cancelled, and there's no way I can tell the story I want to now. So it's going to end here." At least it isn't a cliffhanger like Alphas.

Just get married already

Seconded.

I think I've figured out a rough equation to explain how tall Sakura appears at any given time.

Depicted Height = (Actual Height) / (Excitement Level)

Also, yes, the strawberry farms with chocolate fountains are absolutely real.

and the fucking next one? another hetshit chapter?

Getting in here early to tell you that others may take your words at face value, but I know what you are and who you're doing it for. What's the matter, the "lost teenager finds a yuri site" persona didn't work?

It's really funny how people read the absolute absurdity of this story's entire premise and somehow a robot in the class is too much.

So many clairvoyants reading a single chapter of a series. Amazing.

Do I spy a topless Ruruna, or a map of Nebraska?

Skip the burn unit; Ruruna needs an entire burn hospital after that.

Page 16 final panel should be "Back when this girl was wreaking havoc." The word "was" is duplicated and "wrecking havoc" is not a phrase.

As far as I know, the whole pacifier thing started with people taking MDMA at raves. It can cause involuntary jaw clenching, so the pacifiers were for safety.

You cannot put accepting that no couple is picture perfect next to accepting homophobia and draw parallels without it being an absolutely terrible message.

Who's accepting homophobia? Where did that come from?

When this series started, I did not expect a turn of events like this.

Alternate interpretation of the Diablo universe lore.

You know that scene in the Silent Hill movie where Alice Krige's character Christabella gets held up and then torn apart by Alessa with telekinetic barbed wire? I don't know where I was going with that, but Sakuya sure does suck.

No image on this site has ever made me cry until today.

I did a little fist pump at the NIN mention and immediately deflated that the kid wasn't allowed to watch... Closer? I guess that one would come up on autoplay or as recommended. And I don't think any of the others could be that objectionable? Aside from the whole Broken film. But it's not like that one is fun to watch casually anyway.

It was probably "Closer," because of the nudity, but they do get much worse. The actual music video for "Happiness in Slavery" is just a guy on a table being tortured. And yeah, the sequence in the Broken movie where "Gave Up" plays is probably one of the most grotesque sequences I've ever seen. 0/10, would not recommend. Watch the actual "Gave Up" music video where a makeup-less Marilyn Manson pretends to play the guitar instead. It's also got Richard Patrick (from Filter, before Filter) on guitar and Chris Vrenna on drums.

It's really annoying when pathetic losers make ridiculous and baseless accusations. There's been a lot of that here lately for some reason. Maybe knock it the hell off.
