This one's pretty vague, it's a series; it involved two girls who would wake up in some abandoned post-apocalyptic dream world. They get together in the end if that helps.

This maybe? https://dynasty-scans.com/series/lily_system

I love how she's in so much denial "That's... not me. I'm not a sadist!"
AHAHAha.

This is so real

Getting it straight from the safe

Honestly I'm still a bit anxious about this, but the prologue and ch 1 of the novel are in an acceptable state, and you can currently read them here
(Kinseijoshi's compiling them on a .pdf as we get them done)

Huge, huge thanks to Kinseijoshi for helping me with this, while I'm responsible for the translation, she edited and greatly helped me with grammar and to make it fluid and natural sounding. The sentences are only to this level thanks to her.
I'm really grateful for it!

It's been going slowly, but we're getting there. She's currently editing ch 2 and I'm making progress on ch 3 (There are a total of 11 chapters). It takes a while because I don't have much energy for anything, but I promise it'll get done!
There may be some minor translation mistakes, but those should get fixed as soon as I notice them.

50cm height gap, Clarice neck must hurt.

at least 50cm!

身長２ｍを超える
身長差５０ｃｍ以上！

Wow she just went for it!

GARIBALDO?

Love girl x furry (girl)

I think some people on Dynasty should not be reading anything other than wholesome slice of life. I find tuning into a series only to be enraged about fictional teen girls kind of a weird hobby.

I also think some of you are a bit too comfortable throwing "bitch" around as an insult. I don't know if you're a guy but if you are then I'm even more suspicious of you.

I fully agree with you, I'm tired of those people completely exempt from misogyny defending this behaviour. If you don't have the maturity to read works that aren't a black & white "this character is good, this character is bad" and constantly holding your hand, then only join the discussion after you've grown up.

Wow, ambitious! lmao

LOL thinking back on it now, it is really funny, but that's just the power of girls kissing each other haha

I think there's some younger people on here, some of the newer users, maybe anyhow. The average age probably skews older though, I believe in part because this is a forum and forums are sadly generally a relic of older internet. I don't mean that negatively, only that forums aren't nearly as booming anymore lol

Yeah it definitely does skew older, I've seen some who sounded underage here and there but I myself am also a baby, since I'm only 21. I started browsing this site as a 10 years old who could barely understand English...

I'd imagine it would have a pull for anything touching it, sucking it entirely to one side. This is mostly to avoid nasty thoughts about that partially through hug ending in gory tragedy.

That moment when you go to hug your sister and you end up stuck in the past with her detached arms...

I didn't think of this. Lmao.

Loved the art in this!

She was a baker, she was a miller, can I make it any more obvious?

Yes, because I don't get it.

Thanks for giving me company. Read that comment a few times wondering how I was missing something so "obvious".

A miller in the sense of grinding grains, and since you need grains for bread they're the perfect combination, a miller and a baker.

Yay, it's here! The chapter where Diode goes full cat mode! Tanaka Ahiru's done, in my opinion, a great job of showing her slowly warming up to Terra (And there's something else I'd love to comment about but it's something that happens much later into the novel so I can't T_T) but also just how friendly Terra is, respecting her space and all. I don't know, there's just something so filled with love in this chapter.

I'd also like to add that they do have official heights in the manga! 143cm for Diode and 184cm for Terra

I'll be sharing the novel's prologue soon (but be aware that it'll give some background you wouldn't otherwise get from the manga at this point on Eda and Magiri) because its translation is pretty much done and I just need a second person's opinion on how much sense it makes. It's been going very slowly because I'm often too tired to do anything, but I've been making progress and I'm just excited to allow more people to enjoy this work! I love it so much.
The formatting is nowhere near "final" but the text itself should be fine and I'd appreciate some feedback if possible anyway.

Silly Ruka, you don't just lock eyes with a predator like that, get pounced!

Yeah this was awesome.

Aw the pien face she made at chapter 1 haha

Are people still enjoying this? Because at this point it's just sunk cost fallacy that keeps me here

I'm still having fun!

Me too, I'm enjoying it lots and I like being teased like this :P

I still love this

Comfy

People are confused why Misa acted this way after learning about what happened to Io. But when you understand that victim blaming is normalized in Japanese culture (again, I'm not saying it is exclusive to Japanese culture), it becomes more clear why Misa acted the way she did. However, it still does not justify her actions.

I don't know if this is the fault of my difficult expressing myself in English but you have misunderstood me.

Giving valid criticisms of a country or culture is not racist.

I'm not saying that's what is racist, because I don't agree with excusing and protecting sexism in cultures, or that just because it's coming from some "minority" then it's okay for them to be doing that... It's acting like it's an unique problem to them that bothered me a bit and I only mentioned racism because people (not you in special) will often, even if they aren't aware of it, be harsher on whatever they're criticizing on the basis of it being asian, or just not white, and act like it's inherent to them and not a problem that's created by an environment that allows it to grow, which happens everywhere in the world.

Also, just because it happens in other places, doesn't make it any less of a problem. Like I said, even though it happens in other places, the difference is that in many of these places, people actually listen to and sympathize with victims, instead of being dismissive and victim blaming like some people here.

And we literally think the same regarding it not being less of a problem. Again, I'm not saying we should excuse those things, that wasn't what I was trying to say at all. Just that rape culture isn't unique to them, even that way of acting isn't unique to them and you aren't saying this either... But exactly because it isn't unique that for me it doesn't make much sense to act like it's especially Japanese when it's just rape culture thriving more easily.
It wouldn't make sense for me to say that it's Brazilian culture to think that it's okay to rape women just because they were wearing shorts, that they should be quiet about it and blame them for it so I don't see why it'd be different when it comes to any other country.

Every time someone bad happens in a manga somebody comes along like this to claim it's some kinda especially Japanese bad thing and they're pretty much always wrong. There's not really any country on earth that DOESN'T have rape culture, unfortunately, just as there's no country on earth without patriarchy.

Look last samurai, I'm not trying to hate on Japanese culture and I'm definitely not claiming it's an exclusively Japanese thing. I've lived in Japan for a few years and almost every woman I've talked to has experienced some kind of sexual harassment and says they will probably never report it due to the fear of being blamed or shamed. It was a culture shock for me as I came from a country where these things are actually taken seriously. Rape culture does exist in a lot of places but at least in many countries, it is acknowledged by the general public and the government as a shitty thing, and steps are being taken to combat it instead of just trying to shut women (and men) up.

You having lived there or not doesn't change the fact that talking as if it were (even if it wasn't your intention) an especially Japanese culture is a thing that happens too often and is packaged with racism. What you've described is what happens in multiple countries, including mine (Brazil) and in 1st world countries even if they claim to be "progressive". They'll always find a reason to blame the victim, be it clothing or a mere hand signal.
It's not Japanese culture, just rape culture.
I'm not trying to single you out, it's just something to have in mind.

Like everyone else Misa's reaction in this really surprised me, but like kinseijoshi I don't think that it's OOC. I'm really excited to see where this is going!

Late, but trans fem and non-binary aren't exclusive and many non-binary people are trans fem. I don't play and just look at yuri art of ena and mizuki, but usually when they pull this "non-binary" card it's almost always about a trans fem.

Haruna's chapter is still my favourite from this, it captures the feeling of growing up being the thing everyone warned you to stay away from and tried to hide from you because it's "bad" and how often some will try to deny being so themselves really well.

And really just the entire idea of watching yourself slowly turn into something you never expected to, how unfair it is that you're the one going through it while everyone else seems fine and are never going to be the thing, is very relatable. She was never going to be able to fit in, you can do everything you can to hide from your kids that those things exist, try to beat it out of them, but it'll never cease to exist and it'll only keep coming back.
Then your feelings slowly changing, until they become something "vile" in the eyes of an outsider, when for you it's just something natural that you need to survive. Although it's justified this time for there to be a fear of them because they seem to eat humans, the act of eating humans itself is not evil and Haruna's state at the end was like she was still stuck with things that are harmful for her being (wanting to conform) when the fish mindset is her natural. The fear when those changes started to happen, the loneliness of not being able to tell anyone about it and not being able to do a thing about it... But no matter what, there was no way of keeping the things that made her think she was safe (even if it was the sort of safety that comes from knowing what will happen) from being destroyed, even if she tried to hide it and control her instincts, she would have starved to death for the sake of others that wouldn't ever dare to give her the same amount of thought.
Even if this was caused by someone else, that's still punishing what could be seen as a victim.

Yeah puberty ruined my life
