Lovely and heatfelt as always. Thank you for the TL.

Lovely pfp. Very good taste. ;)

Is "zine" becoming more and more commonplace? I feel like I've been seeing it everywhere now after seeing it for the first time a few chapters ago in this manga.

i wonder, is this a thing for non-translated manga centered around pairs of teenaged female friends? where the relationship between the two is clearly ambiguous but the author is happily stringing their readers along, never wanting to fully commit to what the core audience is hoping for?

"Never"? Do you know something we don't? Should I stop hoping for more and just accept that this "love yet to bloom" will not be blooming in this story?

this chapter essentially injected 500mg of pure, unfiltered yuri-caine straight into my blood vessels. i physically felt it rush through my body. usually this would be a tad too slow for slowburn when it comes to my taste but its definitely chapters like this that reel me back in. so very excited for that first kiss on the cheek

What do you mean by non-translated? It's translated, we've been reading the translation.

Some series never get out of subtext. Some series are slow burn into full yuri.

It used to be quite common in fandoms and subcultures. I think the word is making a bit of a resurgence these days as small groups of people push back against commercialisation of hobbies and pursue more authentic voices.

I dunno. 'Zine' started in 1940 but I would expect the Internet to have made them a lot less common. OTOH there's this and maybe Japan's doujin culture means there's still more paper zine production.

Or maybe just frequency illusion "a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it."

I'm guessing that their potential customers held back because they see the lily-flavored haze hanging over that booth, and didn't want to interrupt.

I wonder if it's your thing to just bitch about this manga, clearly you don't care for it so why don't you just go run along and read something else?
