>>3852293Thanks for reposting the thread with a better threadpic this time.
>>3852293I've been out of the loop for a while, did Cobalt Conrad become a woman?
Is there anyone doing any fan scans at the moment or do I have to wait for when Yen Press decides to release the next Murcielago volume? Cuz the next eng translated volume is out in May 2023 :(
>>3852298Pretty sure that's his sister.
>>3852293another thread, another plea for an anime
>>3854432sorry anon, its a story about a woman who kidnaps young girls and grooms them into being gay. very off-message in japan.
>>3854464On the contrary, Japan is the only place that could get away with that
>>3852293Great, I see there's about 15 new translated chapters for me to catch up after since I last read back in...........................see this is the fucking problem this shit is way too spread out.
>>3854408That's his niece.
>>3854464It's a lot more than that, though. So it definitely has a chance, especially since much worse shit has been adapted into anime in recent years.
>>3854102Learn Japanese or Korean since those're the only languages posting by chapter.
I dreamed about Kuroko a few nights ago. First she was in a house with an old lady, and she apparently had to choose between either feeding her some gummy cones that would erase her memory, or burn her to the crisp with a flamethrower.Then she was outside a house that looked suspiciously like the Simpsons house. She was in the yard, and I think Chiyo, Hinako, and Narumi were on the roof, and she had to climb up with a rope, or be pulled up by them. This part felt very real because I was in the place of Kuroko and I could feel the weight of the rope and everyone pulling me up, and the urgency to climb up for some reason.Then Kuroko was in some city highway chasing a criminal. She blocked a tunnel with her car and tried to chase him on foot, but he just comically slipped by the side of the car. Kuroko then radio'd for backup, some randoms show up to chase him, and that's where it ended.
>>3856165maybe it's the anime PV and you are a conduit for the morphogenetic field
Reiko looking mighty fine here.
>>3854988For real?Will she experiment on Kuroko?
>>3856165Yeah if fucking Redo of Healer can get an anime this can get an anime.
>>3869643Meant to reply to >>3854994
>>3869643Every time the possibility of a Murcielago adaptation comes up, someone brings up Redo of Healer or Insterspecies Review, and every time I have to point out that these series were heavily censored and even dropped by networks and services.It's Netflix or nothing (or maybe Disney+ since they had BRS Dawn Fall).
>>3869713That's why more people should bring up Bastard!! as the point of comparison, since it has a similar "fanservice to plot/action" ratio and also aimed at a broader audience in comparison to something like Redo or IR.
>find out your new girlfriend killed your father>Turns out you're fine with itMurcielago is hilarious sometimes. Also I thought we were headed to the oneeloli route. Did the mangaka change his mind about that?
>>3869840MaybeRemember when Kuroko wanted some /ll/ action in her intro chapter? She hasn't lusted for any loli since
>>3869840He never really spoke about it but I’m guessing he decided to make Aiko rinko’s mom instead of a weird love interest.
>>3869857Is Kuroko still a lolicon /u/?
>>3869857She has lmaoShe thought about rinko and Aiko as well as Rinko and noeru.Also idk if you can count Ayako and her sister as lolis but she definitely thought they were hot
>>3869860>She thought about rinko and Aiko as well as Rinko and noeru.Honestly I can't rememberWas she just shipping them, or thinking about a threesome?
>>3869865>Was she just shipping them, or thinking about a threesome?Both, definitely. Not sure why you'd expect otherwise from her.
>>3869876>ugly
>>3869906How does a single piece of fan art prove your point
>>3869906This fanart is so pretty, I’m glad more and more people seem to be making art for yoshimu (even tho this specific drawing is pretty old now)
Is..is he joking?
>>3871513This idea that female characters arent allowed to be brazen and pushy has always been bizarre.
>>3871513Why would he be joking? It's a very common problem, particularly in westernshit, making female characters like dudes with cuns because that's the only way hacks know how to write "strong" females.
>>3871529He's describing Koumori Kuroko
>>3871532Kuroko fits the description, however I think she avoids being unlikeable by not going overboard with her bad traits as well as showing she does have a softer side every now and then, also she revels in the fact she's a shitty person and never tries to excuse herself for it
>>3871532Is he?
>>3871562Her "softer side" is all a facade in order to make herself appear to have "some good in her". She's 100% a self-absorbed, certified psychopath. Nothing redeemable about her.And she doesn't really revel in the fact that she's bad per se. Yeah she knows what she's doing is morally wrong but she's not maniacally evil about it.
>>3871573>brazen woman>bad personality
>>3871590>kuroko>bad personalityPick one.
>>3871513>>3871532>>3871562>>3871589>>3871590>>3871600Might want to be careful criticizing the self-insert power-fantasy character. You end up insulting the fanbase of the manga, lol.
>>3871807But I like Kuroko, she's a shameless lesbian psycho pervert and at any point she or the work try to excuse her behavior, as long she's free to live her life and fuck any girl she can get her hands on, she will "play nice" with society
>>3871845I mean I relate to her a lot, she is empowering to watch, which is why I enjoy the manga.She is my id, what I would do if I had no restraint... god I wish I could seduce women as easily as her... instead they all get married to men.
>>3871849You can’t even make they cheating with youLame, haha
>>3871849Virgin.
>>3871807She’s not a self-insert power fantasy at all. I just don’t like her personality and think she’s ugly as fuck.
>>3871861She's ugly in a sexy way.
>>3871858Not even close, just lescel because of shame and everyone getting married so fucking young.>>3871861She is awesome, and literally living the life I want. Instead of being a door mat.>>3871852>esl
>>3871849>I wish I could seduce women as easily as her... instead they all get married to men.>>3871871>everyone getting married so fucking young.Rape them
>>3871513The replies lead me to believe "yes"
>>3871871Not even trying to be mean but you should do some serious soul searching. Dreaming of being like an horrible woman with no morals who doesn’t even care about her girlfriend’s feelings won’t help you get laid. Your first mistake is calling yourself a “lescel”, chasing love won’t make you find a girl. (Also I obviously glossed over the whole kuroko is a pedo and a serial killer part bc I’m guessing you’re not that retarded)
>>3871600Objectively she does have a bad personality.Doesn't mean she's not a great main character
>>3871871>everyone getting married so fucking young.do you live in some third-world country?
>>3871875Scrote logic>>3871919Im a broken shitty person, she feels like a person I could be if my actions had no consequence, no shame. I feel that the majority readership feels the same.Also being a moralfag on 4chan doesnt help anon. >>3872232Asia
>>3872690
>>3872691
>>3872690Was just trying to help you eventually feel the soft warm touch of a pussy someday. If you ever get a girlfriend tho don’t cheat on her like a tard.
>>3872800Never cheated and don't plan to.Don't autistically assume I want to be like her entirely.Also more pics for this bare thread.
>>3873048
>>3873049
>>3873050
>>3873051
>>3871513I wonder if he just watched that new Velma show.Kuroko is a bad person, but she's likeable. I think it's how you approach the whole thing as an author:all those shitty woke shows and comics have asshole women as MCs, but we, the audience, are supposed to side with them or agree with them, since they're supposed to be always right.Compare with Kuroko, or, to name a western example, Archer: they're supposed to be massive jerks, and we, the audience, are not supposed to consider their bad behaviour as morally superior.
>>3875172Kuroko represents is an amoral power-fantasy for depressed lesbians, and some weird guys. I heard one reader say that she felt Kuroko felt like a "female James Bond", an edgier version of course.Most Japanese media is escapist, and I personally felt the manga represents an escape from moral expectations. I'm pressured to be a kind accommodating person, who puts her needs last. It's just an indulgence of things I'd fantasize about in a private, judgement-free, space.
Has there been more incest since this? I'm not caught up.>>3875399>an edgier versionWhich means I compare her to manga Lupin instead. Actually an idea I'd had for a while and then this author just did it.>>3871919It's obvious what she meant + you're seriously doing the smug "characters you're not meant to idolize" bit on 4chan; come on.>>3871513>>3875172It's the mix of self-awareness that "yeah this is a total escapist fantasy" & genuine charisma that makes this stuff work; i.e. being unpretentious and realizing you're making something that's not moral but fun.
>>3875512
>>3873048>>3873049>that awkwardnessNarumi is just great
>>3875512>making something that's not moral but funDon't give me that "Murciélago is all dumb fun" bullshit lmao. There's so obviously messages at play concerning Kuroko's character (and so many other subjects in this manga). But because those messages aren't shoved in the readers' faces treating them like they're 12 this work is "meaningless". Yes, I'm sure this series that Yoshimu has spent nearly ten years on now with art that clearly has detail, effort, and soul put into it, a set complex plot line, characters with depth, and 160 chapters (and counting) is "all for the funnies".I swear you zoomerfags are incapable of media literacy.
>>3875570I'm not saying there's no messages and themes, dummy. I'm saying the "psycho lesbian pimp" power fantasy element is pretty honest about what it is along with other stuff Yoshimurakana & the fans are into. This is an author who said something along the lines of "first you're into yuri cuz it's hot, then you claim you only care about the deep emotions, then you admit it's hot again". That doesn't mean emotions & thematic depth don't matter, it just means you're honest about your id-driven fantasies along with that.>media literacyI'm someone who writes goofy essay-sized posts about meaning in nerd media, but whipping out this trendy-ass term is more zoomery than anything I said to the point where it makes me wonder if your reading of the series' thematic content is something weirdly moralistic and "no fun allowed".
>>3875512Based>>3875570Cringe brain dead youtube video essay.>>3875592Based and fantasy pilledPicking apart the morality of media you like is a tiring and pointless exercise.You're just suppressing your desires instead of honestly accepting them, and living with them.I used to be a puritanical loser, who thought claiming that I was disgusted by sex made me "purer". I was only cheating myself.Embrace the cringe, the sexy sexy cringe.
>>3876351
>>3876354Would recommend trying this, was actually good, just don't use carrots.
>>3875570So what messages and themes have you picked up on

>>3879600Thanks for the link
Where are all the pics?
>>3880112What are you talking about?
>>3880186Not enough OC here.
>>3879600Cool, thanks.
do we have access to fan translations for the whole series i remeber ordering the offical volume 1 and being anoyed with there translation within like 10 pages
>>3883758Considering you're an ESL I have no idea what you'd be annoyed at.
Poor deflated manjuu
>>3884071More Manjuu
After reading the currently released series, I am still debating whether or not Kuroko's a psychopath or sociopath.I'm inclined to believe sociopath, because she has low impulse control, limited affection only for her "ingroup" and no one else, and a history of committing violent crime.
>>3886426>sociopathPop psychology term.
>>3886558Then ASPD?I mean the manga claims 'psychopathy'.Just trying to get into the head of the writer.
>>3886692I'll get in your head, nee-san.
>>3886885Please do.
Hot
>>3894697Now that's a first
Kuroko looks so thick
>>3896010The designs and outlines are so clean so these would look great on merch. Hope we get something more than LINE stickers from this.
Don’t remember if I already posted this one but chiyo is so cute
>>3898560>Won't let Kuroko have fun. For shame baka
>>3898581Kuroko has plenty of women to stick her tongue into. Chiyo could ditch her ass and she wouldn't care less. (Just fuck Narumi already, Chiyo)
>>3898956>Chiyo>Ditching KurokoThat will never happen. Kuroko sleeps around but chiyo is the one she goes home to
very important page
>>3903172this one too
Hinako's new girlfriend is strong, but I don't think her gains are natty
>>3903679>Yoshimu follows himasora akane >people are mad because the akane guy is “problematic” and against a feminist group called Colabo>Colabo are supposedly being funded by the Japanese communist party to do something retarded >A woman from that group tried to “cancel” a virgin project called Onsen Musume >Akane is a Fan of said project and started attacking the colabo girl >Yoshimu supports Akane because he’s against cancelling (especially animanga stuff) And a few people made tweets about how evil yoshimu is for following the akane guy.He replied to one of these tweets today saying “Can’t I choose who I follow?” And some retards got super mad at him because he quote tweeted someone instead of blocking them.Saddest part is that Yoshimu apologized for getting angry and said he should try to manage his anger more.
>>3903172How far is the English translation behind
>>3904091>Yoshimu apologizedbig oof
Has the author ever mentioned Gunsmith Cats? Murcielago feels like Gunsmith Cats with the violence and lesbianism turned up to 100.
>>3906127He didn’t apologize for following the guy, he apologized for getting angry so easily. He seems to have anger issues or something.
>>3904091>a virgin projectWhat
>>3906148> Onsen Musume (japanese: 温泉むすめ) is a Japanese multimedia project featuring anime characters within the theme of onsen (Japanese hot springs). The characters anthropomorphize onsen as entities in anime, manga, and video games about them. This thing
>>3906134>Has the author ever mentioned Gunsmith Cats?No.>Murcielago feels like Gunsmith Cats with the violence and lesbianism turned up to 100.I don't see it.
>>3906293You might be clinically blind.
https://mobile.twitter.com/yoshimurakana/status/1635164757996244992Finally!
If MahAko can get an anime, Murcielago can do. It's time is now.
>>3908632Any day now.Lets hope Mahoako is successful, prove that horny yuri action is a lucrative genre
>>3908632>If MahAko can get an anime????
>>3908632Many years ago Murcielago had a Collab tie in with a mobile game which should've indicated a future anime but the anime never happened.
>>3871590Genuinely miss all of Kuroko's head tilts followed by her old slightly slimmer design made her seem more serpentine an predatory. New fatso Kuroko is ok though
>>3908962Fat? She's even thinner than before now.>>3908632>>3908689I'm not surprised MahoAko got adapted considering it's pure fetish shit, but that still doesn't make me have hope for Murciélago. Murciélago lost its chance at getting an adaptation by having a plot of any kind.
>>3909220Look at the shoe string budget a show like Sesamki Koto received. I wouldnt want just ANY anime adptation, I want quality stuff for something like Murcielago.I still hope for some kind of OVA thing. Just a few select arks animated into 40~50 min OVAs would make me more than happy. The rainboots killer, the crazy right wingers, or the mansion arcs would make fine OVAs. And not the rose garden one cause it sucks
>>3909237>And not the rose garden one cause it sucks
I can’t wait to buy them all
>>3896010>>3912166I thought these doodles would be for LINE stickers or something like that as usual. Can't believe we are finally getting actual merch.
>>3912166i would buy the sword ghost girl's
>>3912166>No spear girlSpear girl sis...
