Insecure Herami Sisters ch25https://mangadex.org/chapter/6de6bcba-ca66-4306-a249-8e015184c997
>>4484128I'm so glad they are back together.
>>4484132She's so aware of how broken her oneechan is, and yet she's so blind to it.
>>4484134They both are horribly broken and therefor perfect for each other.
Well talking about Herami sisters, it survived another volume, so we should get at least to volume 6, hopefully we will get back to some more romantic interactions, though the author is also obviously setting Kyapi with the other idol yaya, hopefully it won't take the whole series.
>>4484085>was it good?Sumikano is by far the best thing to come out of this manga even if the author clearly had a hard time squeezing it out, I really can't see myself enjoying it that much when going back to Hime and Yano but I'm open-minded.
>>4484145Frankly I'm glad I was wrong and Kanoko is just learning to get over her romtatic love with Hime instead of my previous interpretation of the managers speech last chapter
>>4484151Miman just wanted to shit on Goeido
Also watayuri vol 14 cover
>>4484155It definitely feels that way now.But now the more important question is who's next. The manager or the other chef?
Watanare ch67https://mangadex.org/chapter/799a47e5-8c99-4a09-902a-22f26316ba64
>>4484114>intense gazePretty nice, actually.
>>4484167You mean the next arc? I hope it goes back to Hime and Yano, it's been 4 fucking years, isn't Hime supposed to be the main character?>>4484171>straight
>>4484215w>>4484215hoosh
>>4484215I hope Hime is last after everyone else is set up and begins to resolve their romance arcs, makes sense at this pointMore specifically, Nené deserves better
>>4484158what a beautiful and mentally stable girl
>>4484112>watayuri 71As someone with an unhealthy obsession with this series (and SumiKano by extension), this chapter made my head explode. Had to read it over half a dozen times to make sure it was real.The wait was worth it
Anyone else really glad the cosplay cafe manga got axed? I'm really glad.I also hope the mangaka never gets another serialization, wouldn't that be hilarious?
Guy She Was Interested in ch145https://mangadex.org/chapter/12036973-5038-431d-b44b-3f6695e75ba1
>>4484314I feel this way about the 90% of this shit posted itt.
>>4484114>Pastel LoveI hate how it feels like the author stalled this, but regardless, my cold heart has been warmed.
>>4484314Kinda. Which seems a bit petty. To each their own and all that, but there's no discussion surrounding it, it's only one stale divisive subject.
>>4484318>hogging the whole blanketAya is too high-maintenance.
>>4484204>Watanare ch67fun seeing renako come down from her high. kaho's teasing is also on point, good chapter.i still don't understand why the resolution of the chapters is so low
>>4484114>As the Yuri Goddess Commands ch5Fumi-chan is a little devil.
>>4484145my feelings exactly, i hope hime won't be as insufferable in the next arc as she was in the previous one or i might just drop this
Bad Girl ch38https://mangadex.org/chapter/6a732dfd-46c3-4015-8f40-f7fdb5373710
>>4484112>Also Sprach for RabbitYue is a great villain. I dont remember the last time I actually hated the villains guts in any story I've read
>>4484204Are girls' love hotel parties an actual thing in Japan? I thought it was just a joke when I saw it in Urapi but this is like the third time I've heard one mentioned.
>>4484371No. Don't get real life information from trashy manga.
>>4484371As explained in Urasekai, there are also hotels making special plans specifically for that.https://seki-lala.jp/https://couples.jp/themes/joshikai
>>4484374Is this some kind of cover excuse for lesbians to fuck in a love hotel by claiming it's a girl's party?
>>4484389You don't need any excuse to go to fuck in a love hotel, I don't think there is any love hotel left that won't accept gay people and most hotels don't even have a person in the reception to stop you.It's a good place to have a party when you have to rent a place because it's cheap and with various services included.
>>4484374My japanese isn't very good, but I don't see anything in there about having a dancing lion fuck up the group.
>>4484395You have to unlock it by bringing 5 lesbians in a single room.
>>4484320That sounds like you really don't like yuri all that much
>>4484391>I don't think there is any love hotel left that won't accept gay peoplethey legally can't reject gay people but they still do. Chris Broad has multiple videos where he gets stopped at the entrance and told to go away because he was walking in with a friend.
>>4484406You sure it's not because he's a foreigner? Because that also happens
>>4484391What >>4484411 says is most likely the case. Anything related to sex and/or sex work in Japan has near-even odds of rejecting foreigners outright.
>>4484411Nah, he was specifically told and you can hear the clerk say it in the video "男子二人だめ"
>>4484414Skil issue
>>4484412>Anything related to sex and/or sex work in Japan has near-even odds of rejecting foreigners outrightDoes this only apply to white/black/brown people or also non-Japanese Easy Asian people? Can I pass as Japanese if I'm Chinese and learn the language?
>>4484419No, they can identify and hate chinese people on sight
>>4484420Aiya
>>4484419lol noThey hate other asians more than they do americans
>>4484422And believe they hate americans
>>4484406I checked this out and holy shit it's true! Imagine owning a love hotel and acting all precious like that.
This is a First! Lady Okumi Lavishing Praise on Her Penniless Friend ch2https://mangadex.org/chapter/37f24d01-f3b8-40d3-b8f8-7dedb007c9c6They are so stupidly cute it's adorable.
>>4484419Don't you know jap almost by default if you are Chinese? That's waht I always heard if nothing else
>>4484430You can cludge it in text by "communicating" entirely in kanji, but the actual spoken languages developed totally independently and have no mutual intelligibility.
>>4484427This is goodThis is so good
>>4484412I thought Japanese lesbians liked foreign lesbians. Or viceversa.>>4484422They're mortal enemies. Like the Japanese and the Koreans. And the Japanese and the SEA peoples. And the Japanese and other Japanese. Damn those Japanese, they ruined Japan!
>>4484314>Anyone else really glad the cosplay cafe manga got axed?No.
>>4484436You japs sure are a contentious people...
>>4484436It's easier for minorities to relate to other minorities, until they start breaking shit, being nosy, throwing trash in the floor, harassing women, fighting and commiting crimes, then it's time to send them back to the US
>>4484419You should probably look some Japanese/Korea history up.They are absolutely racist against one another.
>>4484419Passing visually is theoretically possible—while Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese all tend to look a little different, there’s certainly crossover. My Chinese grandfather was treated surprisingly well by Japanese occupiers in WW2 era Singapore because they thought he looked Japanese (they knew he wasn’t, they just took a liking to him because of it). My Chinese mother has been mistaken for Korean multiple times by Koreans.Accent is going to be the real giveaway. It’s very difficult to completely adopt native cadence and accent of any country (and often region) if you weren’t brought up there. You can get very close, but without specialized training or a real talent for accents it’s hard to sound completely authentic.And yes, to this day Japan is pretty xenophobic to ANY non-Japanese. Most of them are polite, and on an individual level many of them can even be genuinely enthusiastic about foreigners, but on a societal level foreigners are still very othered.
>>4484433Indeed. Indeed it is.
>>4484444>pure gold platinumん?
>>4484445Double pure gold platinum, mind you
>>4484444What games does she game?
>>4484447Rabi-Ribi, Samurai Maiden, Nurse Love Addiction, and Elite Dangerous.
>>4484447At this point, she probably already created a company that's going to make her a VR simulator with her and Binko.
>>4484449Oh right I have rabiribi rotting in the depths of my backup disks.Thanks for the reminder.
>>4484470What happened to Kaguhara anyway
>>4484478Died from suffocating on sports-chan's butt
>>4484478Deadly Japanese cold.
>>4484482Ah, the mangadex link was borked, but it looks like all 14 chapters got uploaded to gammaplus two days ago.Happy days.
>>4484427I love this idiot
>>4484500They are so perfect for each other. I'd like a serving of 8 Volumes with 2 animes until they grow up and live together.

>>4484427I think Binko should move in with Okumi. That would be a first.
>>4484577I want Binko to become a successful CEO in one of those many companies sponsored by Okumi. They will own a villa. Have 5 kids. A private island for their vacation. A dog and a cat. And Binko will still cook for her whole family.

>>4484591That gif was pretty cool, but did they really have to go the route of them being the "chosen one"
>>4484593Author is in his edgy teenager arc, the yuri so far feels incredible forced with one of the MCs only feeling attracted to the other while she is pretty much naked.
>>4484597I don't really see it developing, but that just means I pray the author proves me wrong
>>4484600The author actually specifically tweeted about this and said the webcomic got serialized before he could do any yuri development, but he intends to do so this time. though we all know he will get axed in a few chapters, so who knows.
>watayuri is back>mahoako is backNature is healing.

>>4484737>It's a Secret, Shirotae-sama ch2This is some pretty silly logic. It's like saying if a man refers to you as a woman they don't see you as equal. It's just a core part of your identity.
>>4484815Shut up woman
>>4484815>woman, something something!>actually my name is some name>something something, *woman*!Seems on point to me.
>>4484815Not it's the same when a human refers to another human as just a "mammal" or "ape".

>Japanese toilet paperThis kept me thinking. If a Chinese artist/studio/company had a second pseudonym or another channel to upload the raunchiest yuri smut from another land but without fear of censorship or dropping in their SCS would this solve everyone's problem? But still getting their money.
>>4484815ok ningen
>>4484925Ok ninjin
>>4484815When I talk to my cat, I don't say "Hi Cat", I use her name. I have to use the word cat at the cat doctor because as a human I have to acknowledge that she is beneath me and depends on me for survival.
>>4484896
>>4484928If I asked who you live with, you'd say "I live with my cat". Race defines 99% of a person's identity. You're a human so you like human food, consume human media, and have human hobbies.We usually ignore race since humans are the only intelligent animals we talk to but if Earth had other races, saying stuff like "wow vampires are so hot" or "dwarves are so good with their hands" wouldn't be demeaning at all.
>>4484936Because we haven't been eating vampires and dwarves.
>>4484936You're missing the context that Sara never said she wanted to make friends with Hitomi, she wanted a "human friend". Sara doesn't view Hitomi as a person, she's just a "human".Plus, I feed my cat some human food every now and again.
A Face You Shouldn't Show ch17https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/a_face_you_shouldnt_show_ch17
>>4484940Sara uses her name too. There's nothing inherently wrong with saying you want a friend from another race.
>>4484943>Sara uses her name tooAnd?Again, I call my cat by her name, but I still have to acknowledge her as a cat.
>>4484944Are we talking about a real cat here?
>>4484944Humans and vampires have to acknowledge that they're different races. Hitomi also says it's "true that vampires tend to be beautiful". Bringing up racial differences isn't racist unless you use it to discriminate or antagonize them.
>>4484946Yes, it's a real cat
>>4484947>Humans and vampires have to acknowledge that they're different racesWho said anything about racism? Vampires literally feed off of humans, so to call someone a human is the equivalent of calling them food."I'd like to make friends with my food!" That's pretty much what she's saying, and is in line with every other vampire referring to humans in the oneshot and chapter 1.
>>4484949Saying a human is beneath you because of their race is racism. Calling a human a human doesn't mean anything, even if your race eats humans. Shirotae sometimes calls Utao a human, just like Sara sometimes uses Hitomi's name.
>>4484951>Calling a human a human doesn't mean anythingIt does if you aren't a human. Is it racism to say your cat is beneath you? Or more apt, to say that chickens and cows are lower lifeforms? Maybe technically, but not in the eyes of society.Shirotae has the unique position of not liking humans as food so her use of the word could be considered lessened, but regardless, Sara focuses on Hitomi's neck and wants to make friends with "humans".Using her name is meaningless when she's acting polite in front of others, as we can see by the fact she immediately drank her blood when she was alone.
>/u/ - fantasy racism debates
>>4484953I subscribe to Peter Singer's equality of interests which says that the interests of all beings capable of suffering or enjoyment should be given equal consideration. Just because a cat is beneath me in many ways it doesn't mean their interests deserve less consideration. Just because a vampire drinks human blood it doesn't mean they can't treat humans as equal beings.
>>4484958>Just because a vampire drinks human blood it doesn't mean they can't treat humans as equal beings.Which is the whole reason Utao is there.Unfortunately, it seems vampires would rather kill humans than integrate.

>>4485005>ENDWhy though
>>4485049Because effectively nothing happened for 12 chapters? The author clearly wanted this conference to drag too until the axe appeared.
>>4485050This whole arc should have been a two chapter arc on volume 1.
>>4485050>black knight axed>wicked got worse>yuusha translation slower than iceberg What do I follow now….i guess there’s still fed up…
>>4485050Way too focused on showing the Black Knight fall for her, to the point the plot was just an afterthought
>>4485055>Way too focused on showing the Black Knight fall for herA real mystery why that would be
>>4485056Isn't it more a mystery why they added all this bullshit? They set up all these characters for no reason when their main focus can be handled by making a sol comedy. Let her go out in armor and come back bloody, we don't need the political implications so soon.
>>4485049The curse of a yuri series with some action elements, if that's what you want to call them. It was fun but it was a little muddled. If I remember that people actually have to pay for these normally, I can see that I might have second thoughts about it if I had to pay.Which bums me out, honestly, I'd rather it just kept going. but whatever, it is what it is now.
>>4484965This chapter did not have enough YAZAWA.
>>4484567>Looking Up to Magical Girls ch59Everything getting axed left and right like we're in an 80's slasher movie, but somehow mahoako came back from the dead after almost 2 years of hiatus.Crazy stuff.
Yuri authors just can't write a proper yuri fantasy manga.
>>4485067
>>4485064Because it's a borderline pedophilic series for coomers with a successful anime adaptation for gooners. No wonder this survives while anything more ambitious than two schoolgirls blush around each other dies quickly.
>>4485072Apply ice directly to the butthurt.
>>4485072You're right, though.
>>4485072>anything more ambitious than two schoolgirls blush around each otherMahoako fits that description though
>>4485072>coomers with a successful anime adaptation for goonersMan, every problem in the entertainment world started being these two people. If they're so fucking powerful, why don't all creators make anime and manga for them?

>>4485072This. It's a series that appeals not only to "yuri" fans, but also wider smut/bdsm/action comedy audiences who would normally never touch a yuri series. It's not hard to see why that's successful, even if it's shit.
>>4485117So does Tenten but as fantasy of course, the truth is that yuri has a bigger reach within the industry, but the romance genre has very little overlap with those audiences, the people reading yuri romances and other types of yuri are likely not the same people, you can for example tell that authors doing yuri actions, fantasy and ecchi series are also mostly not doing yuri romance stories, if yuri at all.Though that said, people cannot forget popularity also depends of competition, harder to be popular when you have a hundred other titles competiting for the same money.
>>4485072I don’t like the way you phrased itBut I agree in spirit This genre does have a problem with variety
>>4485072>>4485117It's probably more accurate to say that yuri isn't the reason why Mahoako is popular.
>>4485133It definitely wouldn't be as popular if Utena was a guy though.
>>4485072pedos and lesbian fetishists can't handle this TRVKE
>>4485072Beggars can't be choosers. If nicer mainstream themes like LR or GBC won't commit and deliver but lesser themes or even fetishist ones will, like Mahoako and Watanare, then so be it. That's the cards we were dealt by this shitty world.God knows I hold my nose constantly but anything for that yuri rush when two girls blush and go all doki doki for each other.
>>4485133ecchi anime dont sell anymore
>>4485072>ambitiousYeah it's pretty ambitious to draw shit noone wants to read and expect it to last long in a mainstream magazine.
>>4485146Or having nothing happening for dozens of chapters.
>>4485087Frankly Usui-sensei is killing it with this and our love is disgusting.
>>4485104For once it's not bait, I absolutely adore Mahoako but let's be real, outside of here and some other yuri circles, how many people are enjoying the characters and story compared to "waow middle schoolers who are into BDSM and are constantly up skirting each other"
>>4485145Bad ecchi anime doesn't sell anymore. We're long past the days oh Highschool DxD being considered ""good""
>>4485155I get your point but let's also be honest this is a manga that cannot exist in any other way than not technically pedo yuri so I wouldn't consider it an argument against it.
>>4485155Honestly you guys have to stop thinking so low of others, Mahoako is the full package and the reason why it's popular it's because readers can tell there is thought to it, there is actual emotion and conflict, the action and magical girl parts are also taken seriously with good things and bad things happening. Take those things away and Mahoako would not be popular just because it has girls doing ecchi stuff, you literally had another BSDM magical girl anime but heterosexual not so long ago and it just flopped hard.
>>4485155As others have said, Mahoako would not work, let alone be as popular as it is, if Utena was male.
>>4485160>another BSDM magical girl anime but heterosexual not so long agoReally?
>>4485134>>4485161The most popular ecchi harems are orders of magnitude more popular than mahoako
>>4485160>would not be popular just because it has girls doing ecchi stuffplenty of yuri manga that are just that are plenty popular
>>4485163For one, [x] Doubt. Also, those are much older than Mahoako.
>>4485160No, I specifically think highly of the series, I absolutely love it and am thrilled it's back. I'm specifically speaking of others outside of here >>4485161Didn't even remotely imply that. That's just a given... >>4485158But that is what het coomers are enjoying about the series wayyy above any of the pathos
>>4485163Yes, and orders of magnitude less smutty since 17+ het ecchi is still waah I glanced at FemMC's boobs I wonder is she hates me now :,( while Yuri gets full nudity and more in unrated manga.
>>4485166Het coomers would not watch or read Mahoako.
>>4485168They have, remember that small wave of fan fics after the anime got some traction, about the only man in the world making the entire cast his harem?
>>4485168lmao they absolutely doany ecchi yuri fanbase will have some het coomers in them, it's inevitable.
>>4485160Ask any random FOTM watcher and ask them what they think of Korisu's power being seemingly limited by only her own imagination. Or how Utena going into Magia Baiser gives her a shot of confidence she doesn't normally have. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Mahoako too, but lets not pretend that all of the FOTM shitters (which is where most of the popularity comes from) pay any sort of attention to the finer points
>>4485163Nowadays? I don't think so, hell not only the source is very tame to even be considered ecchi, but the anime adaptations of those even go out of their way to censor shit.>>4485172>To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mahoako>>4485168The series is selling 200k each volume, they definitely are, because they don't really dislike yuri, they just dislike romance.
>>4485173>dislike yuriOh no they do, fetishizing lesbians is actively disliking them>they just dislike romance.That is probably correct but I don't want to peer into the mind of het rom-com enioyers
>>4485172I probably shouldn't be proud of it but even reading the story from around chapter 12 TLd I never really cared either.Like the biggest speculation ever was "is imitatio actually lord enorme!???"Yes it has a story and yes it is good if you wanna get to the nitty gritty of it but don't pretend even serious readers won't priorize lol ass and boobs over it.
>>4485173>they just dislike romance.Which the series also has. Utena and Kiui are explicitly in love and go to some lengths to do romantic things to/for each other, beyond merely just having sex.
>>4485174>Oh no they do, fetishizing lesbians is actively disliking themYou should learn to pick your fights anon.>>4485176Sure, but this is part of the whole package, it's not the main point.
>>4485176>explicitlylollmao evendon't pretend feelings matter in this slutfest. yeah they might consider each other slighty more important than the others but neither has any inhibitions to go grope the closest girl that looks like wants it.
>>4485178I don't care, why even post on this basket weaving forum if I can't swing at a hornets nest on a regular basis
>Mahoako being popular =/= YH axing action mangaThe main culprit in this case is TenTen and Kadokawa's GL label.Now if we're talking about the Kirara and similar magazines axing manga it looks like they're rotating the manga with not enough sales with other, sometimes similar, manga.
>>4485174>fetishizing lesbians is actively disliking themtrueit's definitely the same crowd that calls asumi-chan "peak" and is constantly calling for an anime adaptationit's fine if you enjoy porn/smut but let's not pretend it's more than that
>>4485181I just saying you have from one side people who hate lesbians regardless of how they are portrayed or who just hate women in general and in the other side you also have people who also hate women and so they are trying to change what a woman is. It's not worthy to go after the guys who just get horny with girls kissing.
>>4485184YH is axing action manga because they are not selling and they are not selling because they are not very interesting outside of the premise, they have very flawed executions, the helpless saint which seems to be the only one which survive the axed is the only one which also has the MCs always interacting and doing adventures together and is not just going generic isekai tropes like the tenten clone did.Though you may be right they are refocusing on romance because kadokawa upping their investment on yuri is making them shit bricks.
>>4485180You're most likely a newfag if you think that. For the people that really dislike lesbians having any type of feelings between girls, that don't involve a man, it's something that they really hate so you wouldn't see any of them reading or buying the MahoAko manga.
>>4485186>It's not worthIt totally is actually because I hate them as much as the rest of the people you described. They are just as morally bankrupt as the rest>>4485188You'd be amazed what moids are willing to push past
>>4485188I am not arguing for or against this retaded gooner argument just saying that Mahoako is no example of a romance manga.
>>4485189>what moids are willing to push pastAnd you care because? In o/u/r context they're money bags at worst, we know it, the author knows it and most likely the industry as a whole knows it.
>>4485072Yeah, nobody knows Mahoako for the yuri. They know if for the porn. Which is incredibly funny when you consider how fucking barren the series is when it comes to actual development of the pairings.>The fucking love hotel cuck-out I still haven't picked the series back up after that dumb shit.
>>4485152This. They may have ambitious premises, but then you look at the actual content, and, someone up top mentioned 2 schoolgirls blushing, and that content is basically that more or less.Something I've learned recently is that the Aizawa-san manga, apparently the mangaka was doing this fast and is going to slow down now that it's no longer in the axe-risk zone. But all I can think is that it wasn't fast for me, but well-paced. It moves along at a good pace, and it hooks you in with the mystery later. And while it may be confusing as fuck for the moment, I don't think making it slower is going to help at all.Of the recently axed manga, imo only Garan no Hime actually did justice to it's premise. The rest... They didn't get axed when they were getting interesting, they got interesting because they were getting axed.
>>4485191While true the argument here is they don't read this series
>>4485193I never really could get invested in Aizawa-san because the ghost couldn't talk with the main character.But the amount of effort put into it was definitely endearing, and there's definitely a charm to it.
>>4485192Then you legit missed out on nemo and the world's greatest pop star
>>4485194Then they don't matter at all
>>4485192>For the porn>Which is all yuri
>>4485192If they only knew it for the porn, it would've flopped like almost every other het ecchi series.
>>4485201Het ecchi flops because it's always the same shit with a different veneer.A few seasons ago it was >le light ecchi with a semiyandere dork elf that begins with MC watching her naked and getting self-conscious about it for the whole seasonNow it's >le light ecchi with le sporty girls that begins with MC watching her naked and getting self-conscious about it for the whole season
>>4485215>le sporty girls Those fags need to leave tomboys the fuck alone
>>4485215Correct, but the truth is that it cannot be different anymore, not for bigger audiences at least, most of the male audience will not relate to anything but beta males and most magazines don't want male protagonist which are bordeline rapists and the few ones which do have them write actual rapists because there is no point for them not to. It's similar how het premises similar to shuukura never worked out of josei.
>>4484965Yua hit the lifelong jackpot with Reina.
>>4485221Well they certainly aren't relating to these characters either.
>>4485047She definitely deserved at least that much. Gushdarnit. That ending for her was just so dissatisfying it's maddening.
>>4485231>i just needed 15 more volumes :(
>>4485233>+3 anime adaptations>+2 OVA'sIn the second OVA in the last 5 minutes, Shion would have been granted a peck on the cheek behind the fan. It would have been out of focus and in the background.
>>4485234Laugh all you want but I have no doubts in my mind the OP/EDs would have been amazing.
>>4485226Well yeah, this is my point, the premise ends being inherently incompatible with the execution and so fated to fail, an issue which does not exist with yuri works of this nature, which at most get accused of words like "male gaze" or "fanservice", which all fall into deaf ears since ecchi yuri works target the male demographic after all.
>>4485235I'm not laughing. Quite the contrary. I'm mad as hell. We and Shion have been robbed and I demand Justice.And it depends on studio imho. Imagine studio Queen Bee to handle the adaptation. I only trust David Production for a banger OP/ED desu.
>>4485239For me, it's>op by angela>ed by angela>carasons by angela>op2 by angela>ed2 by angela
>>4485240How about shallm? The "'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess" OP is amazing too.
>>4485242I never thought of it as anything special and having listened it again just now my judgement remains the same.Guess I'll go listen to Aoi Haru and Tsunagaru Mu and Sugar Doughnuts on loop for the 1000th time.
>>4485193Then explain how the the same old shit with the same old tropes don't get axed? What about shit like A Room for Two and Hana Ni Arashi where once you read one chapter, you've read them all?
slow days we are having huh...
>>4485245One is published on a magazine with a single yuri work, the other is published online only. If they were on YH they would not have lasted more than 3 volumes.
>>4485245So Black Knight too then. It only really got going when it got axed. Otherwise the chapters were samey, not exactly what I expected going from the premise.
>>4485245different expectations depending where they are published
>>4485248>It only really got going bc it got axed
>>4485250To be fair, this whole 20th anniversaty shakeup is pretty assholeish to the authors. Maybe they weren't even working under the knowledge at least 13 heads will roll to make room to a series per month for a while year with a double new issue on the first month.
>>4485253Considering pretty much everyone axed failed to have a monthyish schedule I don't think they get to complain
>>4485256That also sounds unfair YH would be like 1000 pages if every series was on time. I imagine most staggered releases are planned as such.
>>4485234>onsen episode>shion and frost squaring up with just towels on>no weapons in the bath so it's all wrestling>the towels fall off but convenient steam clouds save the dayWhat could have been...
>>4485257YH has published issues with 900 pages and they do have series like Asumi Chan, Android or the new Yuama series which are supposed to be a chapter every two months (but they also skip issues anyway). Regardless to me it looks like they are trying to go back to having a more stable schedule for the magazine, it's not good for the magazine or for the stories since this kills momentum, especially when it's not just one month skip.
>>4485264>having a more stable scheduleThe only way to do this is to clone Namori as they have been told to do every month since 2014.
The worst Wata (also known as, of all things Yuri Hime spared this one from the axe) ch 56https://mangadex.org/chapter/e01bde1e-bea7-4e44-a619-2e5398a0ec9a
>>4485267its an adaptation theres no reason to axe it
>>4485266They already did, the original is long gone.
>>4485267I really hope it's avoiding the axe because it's an adaptation and they have a contract or something.
>>4485271Then why isn't the magazine all namori huh?
>>4485267>>4485270This is the final arc, though it seems the manga was actually selling very well at some point.
>>4485273They have to raise the clone, they don't have the budget to raise multiple children, they already are raising the current Namori substitute after all.
>>4485267Why do we hate this?
>>4485274And why shouldn't it. You aren't buying sight unseen. You already know what you're getting into. Because you know, it's adapting something so you can just look it up. And afaik it's not like they fucked up the adaptation or anything.
