Early on the characters speak like stereotypical American teenagers [...]

I'm glad to see someone here agrees with me, that was really painful to read, to the point that I still haven't read more than the first volume of the official translation.

But I'm more worried about the author now, I hope she's okay

What's happened to the author?

Pixiv deleted, youtube channel deleted and no website and her entire tweets removed except for 2 back in 2016 like she abandoned everything

Didn't she at first plan to retire as a mangaka after finishing this series? I seem to recall talk about this here already before its end, so her announcing a new series after it ended was a big positive surprise at the time.

She planned to retire after finishing her first ever series? And I still can't info on a new series. Do you happen to have a title?

All I've personally seen is the teaser at the end of this series.

Huh, the twitter got wiped very recently, or rather it was made private? It still says there are some 500 tweets on her account. That was where I checked her new series. I unfortunately cannot pull the tweets up anymore, but I think the short stories were published each split into two parts (thus 10 "chapters"). The compiled volume wasn't yet out so I didn't know it was not going to be any more than that.

I'm fairly certain they were talking about the collection of sci-fi stories that you mentioned in your earlier post. I think we were all confused because the end of Nettaigyo promoted her new project, which people took it to mean another series rather than short stories. Going by mangaupdates, it seems like it's just Nettaigyo and the sci-fi compilation. If there was another officially published work then it certainly flew under the radar, but I don't think there is.

Maybe she'll just go back to making Kancolle yuri doujins since another season is airing.

Jesus. The Viz translator couldn't make up his mind on how Konatsu addresses Koyuki. Heck, he literally couldn't keep it consistent across 2 consecutive pages.

And here we go with the misnaming again (same page for reference). You would think that after nearly 8 volumes, the translator would finally remember the two main character names. But apparently it's too hard to remember that the light hair kouhai here is called Konatsu, while Koyuki is the black hair senpai on the other side of the phone. How someone screw up 'translating' names in the first place is beyond me.

Of course the important moment arrives in chapter 28 when Koyuki asks Konatsu to call her by her given name, signaling a change in their relationship. Except that in official translation they are already on first name basic at various points previously. Gotta give it to Viz for their quality translation.

Wow that was a great read.
It's something

A friend told me to read this when I got the time, and boy I really enjoyed it

BTW is there any update on hagino sensei, how is she doing and what she's up to?, I'm kinda worried

Is impossible to get updates, the author most likely moved on from making manga, maybe she will do it with a new account somewhere else but with a different pen name.
Is not like she simply went missing and left things in the air (that would be the worst case), all her accounts were wiped out so it was by choice.

Today I got this shit as feature series... Seriously who did this?

Ooh, nice! Not just one of the best yuri series I've ever read, but one of the best manga in general. Still the 3rd place in my MAL top 10 even now after having lost its 2nd place some time ago.

Well what can I say, there are always good people and luinthoron on this world :3

I know this reply is rather late, but the link is wrong. I believe these are the pages you were referring to.

The two specific lines are, "Senpai, I don't mind you being yourself..." and "Still, I wouldn't mind if you were to repeat a year, Senpai."

It's nice to see a series I've read be featured. I may reread it at some point.

Oh it's a featured series, I recommend this for anyone wondering if it is good or not.

I'm kinda put off by the subtext tag as I often find subtext series incredibly frustrating, how is it in this case?

Frustration levels are over 9,000. The way the story ends makes absolutely no sense considering the emotional roller coaster that was presented up to that point.

The only story that made me more frustrated than this is perhaps Shiroi Suna no Aquatope.

I'm still upset that they didn't make them official to this day.

I say read it anyway and if you're frustrated at the end go read ano koro no aoi hoshi for closure

(Aka Blue Star On That Day) Or just go read it anyway, frustrated or not. It is good, unabashedly yuri, and might even have more fish.

I maintain that with its focus on the sea the title should have been rendered as "*blue planet*" but that's getting a bit far from here. It's certainly more explicitly a romance story and thus something that people complaining in here will probably enjoy reading

Read 10 chapters or so, thinking "why on Earth didn't I read this before" the entire time, before noticing the subtext tag. What a feeling of utter betrayal.
