^^ Exactly. She's a '00s DeviantArt OC meant to appeal to exactly one person: ZUN. You can't compare that to any of the generic, skintight moéblobs Mihoyo and the wanna-be-Mihoyos (and Vtuber agencies, I guess?) focus group tested into existence. Edit: got ninja'd.

I think I have suggested it alreadfy in the past, but have you considered adjusting your Referrer-Policy and/or adding noreferrer and nofollow to user-provided links (i.e. forum)? There might even be a chance that this disincentivizes spammers (due to not getting any SEO gains from their links appearing here).

^^^ I mean there are a lot of things wrong with the above take, but to continue the pile-on: have you ever even seen the original Touhou sprites?

This is Utsuho's official design ... and actually, "assemblages of traits" describes it pretty well. Just not in the way you think.

EDIT: Touhou Wiki is paying the very much pro-fascist monopolist Cloudflare to prevent "hotlinking", meaning you might get an error 403 if you don't use privacy settings/addons to supress Referer (sic) sending. Just copy the URI and open it in a new browser tab.

^ Tbf that applies to many dried fruits and berries (essentially a date is just a humongous raisin). Also they're super sticky. But as ingredients (especially in yoghurt) they*re awesome.

^

To those mentioning plot holes, can you elaborate on that a bit?

Whilst I've only been habitually cynic (I do, in fact, quite enjoy this manga, and am not trying to expect to0 much from a moé comedy 4-koma), I think the most glaring issue (Future-)Kako's plan and motive being very very stupid for somebody who's allegedly such a bright scientist.

Michi has shown herself capable of tracking someone down who has fled to the past. (Her world also has apparently toys that can quite accurately predict people many years in the future.) Why would she expect to stay hidden? Especially since as an immortal, no matter how far back she jumps, she'll eventually end up back where she started.

There are many other smaller things that are to be expected from a time travel story written by somebody who is not a massive sci-fi nerd, and even more things unclear because we know next to nothing on how time travel works in the story.

"Massage" ... Rika's trousers are open.

Have you considered that if you just go "hnnng" at the cute yuri parents hard enough, you can't hear the plot holes?

Sure, whatever, let her be 18. A year more or less wown't change my quip, and frankly I do not want to know why y'all so insistent she's 18+ specifically.

But on that note, I wonder if we'll ever get Birthday chapter. I doubt Saaya's gonna accept her Sakura not celebrating properly just because she doesn't know the date.

She's 17.

Could you add tags for completed, ongoing, and hiatus....or is there another way to sort them?

You can search for them just like normal tags

1. Navigate to Search
2. Use the prefix Status:, e.g. Status: Completed, Status: Ongoing etc.

Most other things are also namespaced tags, i.e. Anthology: for Anthologies, Scanlator: for scanlators, Issue: for ... I think you get the gist.

Edit: Special tip: Oneshots are actually just part of Anthology: Oneshots.

Actual suggestion: can we get a button to directly get to advanced search? Afaik the only way to get there currently is either typing the URL, or making a query with the search box in the title bar.

^ lacks the head wind-up crank-key-thingamajig. Besides, moch's Ceci looks different in b&w.

Edit: moch commented something about the "gluten-thing" so it's probably Ame.

Who's asking?

No seriously, should I recognize that character in black and white?

This series is so weird.

Sakura is bumbling enough to get lost on the way from her home to the store ... at age 17.
But she also somehow just bought an apartment to move in with her girlfriend ... at age 17.

Sometimes I wonder if the author's only exposure to romance were the works of Itou Hachi.

So Bird Cafe!, but from Mero? That's satisfying deep psychological cravings I didn't knew I had.

Idk why but I seriously fail to connect with this emotionally as long as I don't know why they are dating. What made the general change her ways? Feels like reading doujin for a fandom I don't know, leaving me to guess at the many implicit things that are to be extrapolated.

Could they not have just left it in the corner instead of moving it around every page?

You mean where it could easily be edited out, defeating the purpose of the watermark?

Assuming anybody would even bother with removing the watermark is vastly underestimating the careless scale at which scrapers operate (also the reason why such watermarks are pointless).

I'll never get enough of policewoman Reimu and Yukari.

But overall I am not much of a fan of how this was supposedly resolved, but first what I initially concluded before reading the spoilers above:

• Assuming Patchy didn't commit a miniscule amount of tomfoolery, there are 6 suspects: Remi, Flan, Aya, Meiling, Sakuya and Marisa
• We know the SDM is quite large, and crossing it on foot takes quite a while. We have confirmed mutual alibis for Meiling-Aya at 17:00 and Sakuya-Aya at 17:30. (Since ③ excludes any timestop shenenigans, it should be impossible to commit the murder and change in time for Sakuya).
• Remilia could not have left her room without being spotted by Sakuya before ToD.
• Marisa only arrived after time of death and is therefore cleared. This would only leave Flandre without an alibi, and the "vampire puppeteering" Marisa proposed would make her capable of pulling off the locked-room trick. Which basically solved Problems 1, 2 and 4, leaving me to draw a blank on 3.

Now, as to why the actual solution sucks:

1. Dictating from off-screen that no Youkai abilities were used is kind of ruining the fun, especially when you have a characters like Sakuya.
2. The door was locked as confirmed by Sakuya. Even with both Meiling and Marisa lying, she has no reason to pretend that if it wasn't.
3. Saying all entries and exit must pass the main gate is similarly silly in a setting where everybody can fly. It also means Marisa would have passed Meiling twice, with one time being just after her interview with Aya.
4. If this happened as outlined in the spoilers above, the culprit's "plan" was highly dependent on luck, e.g. waiting out Meiling to pass her.
5. There's literally no reason for Marisa to return to the scene of the murder. You could argue she forgot to erase her fingerprints from the book, but then why are Patchy's also missing?
6. It additionally hinges on Meiling acting completely out of character to help hide the truth which imho skirts dangerously close to violating both facts ① and ④.
7. Did the mangaka forgot about Koakuma?
8. Gratuitous ass- and pantyshots

Also, the book is very clearly labelled عكاشة, which means Ukasha, a figure from islamic myth. (Why a vedic concept like Akasha would be written in Arabic in the first place is anybody's guess). To be fair I think it is sometimes romanized as Akasha (like with the Nebi Akasha Mosque in Jerusalem). Not sure if this problem lies with the TL or the original though.

Any recommendations for adorbly pretty girl with tall lean cool girl? Height gap is a must.

Kase-san and it's sequel, Yamada to Kase-san.

@naivety: Forgive me if I nerd a bit about this:

Actually, it's "-our" basically everywhere except in the United States: e.g. Ireland, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Samoa, Namibia, the Seychelles, ... (bonus fun fact: the United Kingdom has never declared an official language afaik.) Few exceptions include some proper nouns like the "Labor Party" in EN-AU or "Arbor Day" in EN-NZ. Also whilst Canada technically does it the proper way, the unistat-oligarchy having monopolized the landscape there leaves the situation ... murky.

Anyway, the yank way of doing things actually falls back to some dude named Noah Webster (who wrote a somewhat famous dictionary). He rightfully recognized that English "orthography" is undeserving of that name (#bringbacktheyogh) and therefore tried to reform things in a much more phonetic "eye dialect" that removes superfluous letters and simplifies spelling (e.g. "blud" for "blood", "kee" for "key", "plow" for "plough", "laf" for "laugh", "tuf" for "tough", using k only for hard sounds as in "arkitecture"... you get the gist).

If you're an anglophone monolingual that might weird you out, but be assured that in the vast supermajority of (alphabetic) languages, a vowel(-digraph) only ever means one sound. (The only counterexample I know of is Arabic's Alif, but then we hit the borders of what can even be considered a vowel).

So frankly, for somebody with otherwise through-and-through american beliefs (including somehow "both sides"-ing the abolition of slavery) a highly agreeable position.

Sadly, it was proposed in a country with semiquincentennial track record of, when offered the options of "use the standard everybody else does" and "use a sensible system", consistently choosing the third option "do something else entirely that is neither interoperable nor good". In this case by apparently picking some proposals at random and applying them only with sporadic coverage. (I just learned it's spelled "glamour" in EN-US and I can't even...)

As another bonus, here Webster's 1828 dictionary entry on "woman" (and yes, the plural is "wimen"). Just, uh, don't go reading the whole thing

I have observed among all nations that the women ornament themselves more tan the men; that wherever found, they are the same kind, civil, obliging, humane, tender beings, inclined to be gay and cheerful, timorous and modest.

Ch. 2 p. 13.

Obviously, it's because they have so many flavors I've never had before!"

ends in a stray quotation mark. (Also it's flavour with an U pretty much everywhere, but I'm not one to complain about catering to niche audiences.)

^ That's just Coriander to some.

I agree with Lariria. This is just all to abrupt running at a mere 30 pages (in particular the ghost/hallucination(?) near the end. We went from setup through downfall to dramatic end in a jiffy, with valuable page space dedicated to sex scenes to acerbate the issue. On the topic of the sex: if breath play is the cause of death, show Sakura choking Tsukushi beforehand. "Forshadowing is a nrrative technique..." and so on.

Interesting observation: all those pro-drug comments are unprompted and at the very beginning of this thread, as if it's some "I do weed all day" internet though guy posturing that folds the moment somebody with enough neurons to form a synapse shows up. (But probably not more, given were still at discussing the initial primer.) Anyway, reasons drugs bad: risk to yourself, risk to others, risk to society, production & distribution is quite literally the pinnacle of evil, if the only way to have fun you know is drugs you frankly failed as a human being. There, case closed.

As somebody who has been critical of this series for much longer than most posters, I just wonder how long the looming axe has been known to Sal Jiang. Because as it stands every chapter in Vol. 2 has had it's flaws which, on their own, would have been easily compensated in another one. But untreated, they ended up snowballing into this drop in quality.

There's plenty of a speculation to be had of how much she had to divert her attention (and, if you're mean, how much her heart was in this) with simultanous releases in Yuri-Hime (and an anthology?) but since I'm not really staying updated on her work besides what hits this site, it'd be unbecoming to speculate about her circumstances.

^ Here a synaesthete's impression of what each Pokémon type tastes like. (Note: I don't have lexical–gustatory synaesthesia in particular so I'm just making up stuff, like the people naming ice cream or perfumes.)

Normal: white bread; somewhat plain at first but turning sweet and malty the longer you chew
Fire: a little bittle over-roasted and thus smoky cayenne peppers
Fighting: onions caramelized with cinnamon spices
Water: pine oil with slight lavender
Flying: oddly flavourless besides being salty, but nonetheless as addictive as junk food
Grass: sweet woodruff and elderflower, perhaps with a hint of mint
Poison: soapy, yet simultaneously heavily fermented
Electric: Intensely sour and fizzy, somewhere between sherbet and pure ascorbic acid
Ground: roasted coffee with hints of sesame and pumpkin seeds
Psychic: intense "bubble gum" flavour masking the bite of high-percent alcohol, almost like disinfectant; leaves a pineapple juice-like feeling on your tongue
Rock: under-salted cooked mushrooms with a note honey, but nonetheless crunchy
Ice: tastes like meringue but has the deceptive after-the-fact pungency of ginger
Bug: dried, ground herbs, especially sage, ramson and green tea
Dragon: passion fruit but unusually savoury; like a chutney served to something umami
Ghost: Strong rosewater aroma with raisins and dried cranberries
Dark: pickled plums and whole grain buckwheat, being exactly as satiating even in small doses
Steel: basically exactly how coins smell
Fairy: excessively sweet with some artificial flavouring that doesn't taste remotely like the berry it's supposed to be

It follows that trainers taste like their types plus how humans taste (i.e. sweat and dead skin). Whatever, I'm hungry now.

500 more corset tightening pics, please.
