i could see this going for another zillion years if this date goes inconclusively/mediocre (i say in a desperate attempt to have that not happen). …. I did feel a wave of relief this chapter. Heres to character development progressing the story~!

Addendum: also jumping on the aliens plot bandwagon. Its gonna happen i swear

scott pilgrim reference!!!1! (this is a moment where fictional characters thought processes seem… Alien. how old did you think she WAS when you started- ack ech grumbl etc. this does present an even weirder middleground for the series in general- looks and acts like a kid is not a kid but is not an adult and strictly speaking is not NOT a kid either? lmao. i’d’ve preferred it if she was like 23 or something for simplicity-of-gimmick’s sake, morality issues aside xp, but hey)

It could’ve ended worse, but I do feel like this is missing something by not being a 20 volume behemoth entitled something to the effect of “Paraphilias Amongst The Lesbian Community - Trauma And Forgiveness” that steadily transitions from fictional narrative to longform essay by about the 2/3rds point. (I do think the ending was too abrupt, but the actual components OF it seem like what would be included in a better-paced ending, and if it had to end this soon I’m glad it ended this way??? In retrospect I’m mostly surprised Meguru never had a Big Plushophile Moment, it felt like that was the direction her brand of repression was going in lmao.)

they had popular youtube songs at around similar times in a similar niche (including some by the same artist?) so IMO it does make sense ppl are putting them together.
(Now to wonder how literally one should take the implications of beheading in this XP. i’m sure Teto’ll be fine either way its all in good fun. Good safe fun.)

I’d begrudgingly call this “interesting” but I come away with the impression that the convolutions of the narration are all dressing up a whole lot of nothing actually in particular being said.
Maybe there IS a solution in there? It feels easy to try and exonerate Seki as unreliable and guilt-ridden distorting her own narrative (especially considering the authors art of the ship that Doesn’t seem like an abusive mess? not that they necessarily share continuity, merely an artist making that sorta tonal 180 is inconvenient to my personal sense of taste lol) but on the other side of things that feels TOO clean and also still leaves out a bunch of loose ends (Kag’s role in this, whatever Eirin herself is doing, where the hell the idea of ‘selling’ her came from, etc) that while perhaps easy it seems insufficient as a catch-all Vortex Ending Explained theory. And then if we accept shes somewhat at fault for parts of it but other parts are fabricated or taking unjust responsibility, Which, etc. This feels like a thematic hole where interesting interpretations can be put in but not really taken out again. Best case scenario (compassionately not writerly) is Waka had an accident and the only cure is for Seki to take Pill Which Induce Vivid Hallucinations Of Living In The Worst Possible Whump Timeline You Can.
Also something something angst/violence/abuse of my comfort ot3 how scandalous le gasp they’d NEVER do that etc etc <- that IS my actual initial reaction which I’m looking past for the sake of not being a complete rube. But to be frank it probably is coloring my more intellectualized takeaways from this XP.

Boob verification in progress

A really sweet Yuiman oneshot? AND its by Aya Azuma? Praise this development!

Been a while since i read the first volumes, but. While Agott does start off rough (genuinely well written as a kid trying to weaponize ingroup knowedge against a newcomer) I just… it feels like the writings on the wall so early that this is A Petty Grudge To Be Outgrown type of thing that i struggle to give benefit of the doubt to people outright hating her. Idk, the power of mean girls shines within you

There are real life cases of "older than they look", some adults are tiny and I've heard that when you're that small it can be easier, and even more affordable, to shop for clothes that fit from kids selections, especially shoes.

In terms of this story and fiction though, the gap between physical appearance and real age creates it's own novel situation, for lack of better wording. I remember there was a comedy series awhile back where the MC was in kindergarten but he looked like a full grown man so the police kept arresting him for stuff like hanging out with his friends lol

I mean, in this case its more that her appearance and behavior DON’T differ, just her actual literal age from both . Its definitely a deliberate decision (if either was changed this literally just Wouldn’t be the same story anymore) but idk the exact reasoning - it being “plausible deniability” seems rather *im*plausible though given what other actual age difference comics are allowed to exist lmao

meanwhile, plotting complaints aside (D.S. does seem to…Challenge. the limits of Touhou’s storytelling, even if its broadly enjoyable still XP), I’m happy to see Sukuna again! (…”i saw [Shinmyoumaru] and i clapped!!”)

i enjoy the panel in the last chapter where the narration bubble is discussing how some things “always stay the same” while the scene is highlighting Ariya, fun little relevant thematic convergence there when the manga started before th20 was even out

Roropull draws a decent amount of yuri already, but the greediness in me hopes they never draw a man again with stuff like this ^w^

Feel pretty bad for the girl that just got murderized, the sense that the cast is a bunch of people trying to live normally while unbeknownst to them at least two grizzly bears (with ursine sensibilities towards violence) live among them is tangible.
...I'm. Hesitant. About taking a transfem reading of Niehara TOO literally, given how they're swimming in a bit of a Themes Of Being Explicitly And Intentionally Predatory Soup, can border on pejorative iconography if handled bad, but its hard to deny the connotations? This is one of those fields where horror themes interact strangely (IMO uncomfortably but other people seem to like it) with Queer narratives even when stories AREN'T being deliberate in their coding, it'd feel like a mistake to not bring it up xp. As much as that flashback did tell us I'm left wondering what their broader context is, since (as with Takahashi) we know very little about what their life was like BEFORE assuming the human disguise. How much of monster behavior is instinctual versus learned to begin with is kinda up in the air, whether monsters have some sort of "society" of their own, that sorta thing. I think it could do a lot to inform broader readings of them as (directly) analogous to IRL social situations. Not sure the narrative as it stands even NEEDS to explore in that direction though, it'd just make trans readings taste better or worse lol. Theres definitely something being said with the way Niehara uses gender (and age?) as a tool to manipulate the "context" of their relationships & their own image though.

hell yeah go grandpa

surprisingly compelling, i think the mix of moe art & relatively (but not too terribly) serious writing turned out pretty well! glad i wasn’t the only one thinking of Heavy

The comment about the “brain of the moon being on the earth” (in relation to Eirin?) is kinda fitting in retrospect of Th20. Could be a translation thing though (not sure if the connotations of “brain” are more specific to “person” there or whether the larger leap to 20’s whole deal could also fit! xp), not presuming premeditation either way.
Reisen (with the floppy ears) is wayyyyy too cute in some of these panels lmao.

Y’all overthinking it, theres a pretty obvious difference between her sudden case of full-face-blushing leave-the-room-immediately shyness and the awkward confrontational blush with that other guy. And what that’s “intended” to communicate should itself be pretty obvious? Whether they actually get together IS still open ended but to interpret this other than her being at the very least woo’d feels in bad faith. (A bad faith fostered by other stories having hurt us in the past with this shit, it IS “learned” but just because a fear is reasoned doesn’t make it reasonable IMO.) Which, yes, in a story about trying to get the girl to take her feelings seriously this IS a success, and one that does still leave the possibility of full requitement open (its not exactly a rejection….) but also more importantly i kinda get what its going for but IMPREGNABLE?!?

I do love a water flea! Always saying this.

I REALLY don't think this series qualifies as yuri. Unless there are SEVERE extenuating circumstances, THAT is not a woman. THAT is a monster.

Not necessarily disagreeing on the yuri tag being somewhat loose here (…i do disagree a fair bit but like thats not the point- my only wish is to argue semantics) buuuut Monsters can totally be Women :3

…RIP, I somewhat doubt it was Takahashi who did it framing-wise+nonspecific-language-wise but this WOULD also be a good opportunity to re-emphasize the actual danger she poses

The role of biology in omegaverse stuff is always weird (here being used to describe something as “interesting” or “philosophically notable” rather than strictly bad). It reminds me of the social category based YA dystopia craze from a bit ago. The children (here being used as a memetic catch all for any audience regardless of age) yearn for societal determinism with a nightmarish flavor in its capacity to supersede individuality. Theres something to be said for attempting to interrogate or reappropriate our own norms from a emotionally safer distance x3.
(Pretty good comic, writing/drama felt a bit clunky at times but that might’ve been exasperated by my own detachment reflex when it comes to these themes in particular. Should give it another run-through to focus more on the erotica angle, since all my big takeaways were some intellectual bullshit lmfao.)

a little baby pigeon….

Craving a smackerel of harakiri on this fine tuesday afternoon :3

Yessssss, more Biten art! :3

Isn't MSG extracted from kombu (kelp)?

Also do you mean war against GMO? Have never heard of "war against non-GMO".

joining the war on GMOs on the side of the GMOs B3

Bloodshed Comedy Guro Horror Supernatural Violence Yandere

One of these things is not like the other ones...

The amusing thing is there are are more hits for Comedy Guro than there are for Guro without Comedy. Grievous bodily harm and mutiliation are just inherently that funny!

Actually makes sense for this site in particular, the tone of stuff posted here isn’t usually just straight-facedly macabre. (Not that there aren’t cases here of course! :p) So guro being generally paired with a contrasting genre here makes sense! (Though a lotta guro does skew comedic when i think about it…)

Read the tags initially but the tone of the rest of the comic made the twist hit pretty hard anyway. itsa good punchline imo. I actually ended up invested in the love interest’s whole story too, rip
