>>3848687Miku Ito and Moe Toyota? Nice.
>>3874921This mistake has been around since the previous thread, but it's Adashima 11 that recently came out, not 10.
>>3874972Same for YuriTama, it's the 3rd volume, not the 2nd. There is also "VTuber Legend 3" both in upcoming and in released. Mixed japanese and english titles and the terrible american format for the date. No useful links and no link to the new thread in the previous thread. This probably isn't the usual OP but it's the idiot that keeps making early threads without giving a single fuck about them just for trolling.
>>3874921I need to start watching MagiRevo.
>>3874974Could just be a mistake?
>>3874921I'm really looking forward to Otherside Picnic. I wonder where the story will go from here since they dealt with the main threat so far in the previous volume.
>>3874992That the one with the Honeyworks OP/ED?
>>3874974He is mixing japanese with english releases
>>3875000Such an error.
>>3874972>>3874974OP of the previous thread here. I wasn't always the one to make the threads, I just picked it up a few months ago (maybe a year at this point?) and kept the format the same as the previous thread makers. That is, English translation releases (upcoming and recent) in the OP, followed by the unofficial translations post, and then a post with new and Tsuzuri twitter.Personally, since I'm European, I always wanted to change the date structure, but I decided to keep it the way it had always been for consistency's sake and because nobody really cares.
>>3875012With that out of the way, this is how the OP would have looked like if it was done in the way the previous ones were.Upcoming ReleasesAdashima 10: 1/17/23VTuber Legend 3: 01/23Majo no Tabitabi 9: 3/21HikkiVamp 4: 4/18MagiRevo 4: 4/18Watanare 1: 5/9Omaegotoki 5: 1/2/79Recently ReleasedHikkiVamp 3MagiRevo 3YuriTama 2Adashima 10

Might be a bit harder to track both but I'll see if I can remember it for next time.
Spoil me on YuriTama. I just started reading it and halfway through volume 1, I just can't continue it anymore. So far, I'? not liking Yotsuba as MC and her developments with the two girls seems too shallow, like a usual harem anime, heck even her siblings have the hots for her.Are there any serious romance coming in? I am rooting for Momose Yuna to win and may want to continue if the latest story is in her favor.
>>3875013>Majo no Tabitabi 9: 3/21It's the tenth volume that's being released in March.
Tarumi atleast deserved a pity fuck from Shimamura. I hope she gets a spinoff.
>>3875030Well, if you don't care about spoilers, a few points:1. Yuna and Rinka both knew Yotsuba was two timing them from the beginning but don't care. 2. Yuna and Rinka being affectionate with each other was just an act to stop people from constantly asking them out. 3. Regarding Yotsuba she's what some people would call a "scumbag" but unlike some other pink hair harem protagonists she is at least self-aware of it and actively decided to throw caution in the wind.4. Volume 2 is still in my backlog but from what I understand Yotsuba doesn't agree to date her sisters, but given what genre this is I'm assuming that doesn't mean they stop wanting her.
>>3874921>Urasekai 1/24/23Need to get my spoiler force-field up and running.
>>3875030It's shallow because the story starts when they already are in love with her, you see the actual reasoning later in flashbacks, but yes it's pretty much girls loving her without much justification for it.
>>3874992>they dealt with the main threat so far in the previous volumeI still think it was a fake-out. If you compare the satsuki the banished to the one that talked to Sorawo at the beginning of the novel there's a pretty clear difference. The one Sorawo encounter was clearly an intelligent, thinking being with unknown, but present goals, while what they dealt with at the end was some sort of blue light apparition, likely the one that had been following them. In my opinion, the encounter at the beginning was probably the first time Sorawo met the real Uruma Satsuki
>>3875185any idea how long we'll have to wait for the english release? i cant read
>>3875241I guess that's possible although I wonder how much storytelling potential there would be in Satsuki still being around when everyone seems to more or less have come to terms with cutting ties with her. I guess it could be interesting if she wasn't actually malicious/been possessed by entities of the Otherside and turned out to have some ulterior motives for being all shady.
>>3875246I think she absolutely was malevolent to begin with. Either she was a creation of the blue-light (less likely) or she had some reason to want to contact them and gain something from them. But if you go and reread the first chapter of Book 7 and compare it to all the other encounters with Satsuki in the series you'll see the difference. She's so incredibly malevolent, but she's also more than just spooky. She is talking to Sorawo in a way the one at the end doesn't interact. In fact, Sorawo specifically wonders if the other Satsuki's she'd seen before were this one or whether they had stolen her form. She even looks at her with her eye and realizes she is completely human. Her quote is: "I focused my consciousness into my right eye. Her hidden nature... was not exposed. At least, she still looked the same. Like a flesh and blood human, in other words. | She was so very 'human'..." I think there's a lot more going on than we've seen so far. There's been a lot of implication that the blue light is trying to create more and more realistic fake people. Even some teasing that Sorawo might be a creation of the otherside. I think Satsuki has been one of their templates for that.
Hatsukoi aite gave me drepression.It's such a good story, even if a manga/anime is impossible, they should make it into at least a drama. It's too good to let it end here. I said it before and I repeat it, Iruma can describe love and all the thoughts and feels that come with it in a perfect way.However some stuff is left unexplained, mostly about Chiki/Shiho. What was she doing early in the morning in a kimono in a city far from home everyday in AdaShima 11? Why is she obsessed with JK? What will happen when Umi will graduate? Did she really stop going with JK when she is so untrustworthy that even admitted she tried to fuck Takasora?Reading AdaShima 11 I wondered about Takasora's scar and I thought she had a fight with Umi or something, but after reading the last volume... was it really necessary? It feels so random, does it refer or imply something I missed? Can she really live and prey short girls with just that job?RIP nameless girl, you will be remembered as Yaya in this Yayaception.At some point I thought Iruma could pull a Takasora x Tarumi to pair the leftovers, after all she's not serious with Kotori, she will be just another girl like Chiki's ones, and Tarumi is short herself iirc.And Iruma is already planning a new series and it will be a love come. He means it will be yuri, right?
>>3875245I am telling myself a year, but every anon I've heard speak about it is saying much less than that is likely. This will be the first volumes released since I've been folowing the series so I have nothing to measure it against, I think I did check when the previous Eng vols were released and how long they took to be so after the Japanese was released but I have forgotten what the kind of times were.
>>3875248I wonder whether 8 will have more Satsuki focus and continue exploring that part of the story, like what happened with her, or whether it will give that a rest for a while and go elsewhere. I am still waiting for Palehorse/the US govt/glowfags to make contact with Sorawo and Toriko or just straight up go after them.
>>3875281Hasn't it been mentioned a few times that Toriko's transparent hand is gradually getting worse? I'm guessing at some point their will be a subplot dealing with Toriko slowly turning into a full-on urasekai monster.
>>3875288Yeah, in fact I think the manga has just gotten to the part. Toriko notes that the photo that Runa's mother had of her was from when only her fingers were invisible. Well, at least if Toriko does turn all invisible her girlfriend can still see her. Right?
>>3875030It only gets worse. I've just finished the 3rd volume and it's easily the worst one.It's just het level of bad writing, every girl is a non-character that is only pretty and in love with the MC because she's... kind? Now I can understand if she was super pretty and clever and with a good personality that every girl would fall for her, but half the story is trashing the MC for being average, stupid and without friends and yet she has all the prettiest girls falling for her. In volume 3 it's particolarly bad because the one falling in love with her is her childhood friend that she didn't meet since kindergarten but somehow she's been in love with the MC since then but despite that she never kept in contact with the MC, she comes out of the blue after 10 years without seeing the MC but she's in love with her anyway.The author said at the moment a 4th volume is not planned and this may be the end as well, which makes it even worse because there's no ending the childhood friend said she's gonna steal her away from her lover and will marry her, MC didn't give an answer and then the friend transferred in her class and that's the end of the volume.But the worst thing is probably that the sex scene was cut out.
Finished Urasekai 8 coupling name is 鵼 now. They had sex...
>>3875715Summary?
>>3875715>released 4 hours agoI hate you.>鵼Miyazawa planned this since the beginning, didn't he?
>>3875722 starts with Toriko's birthday. She asks Sorawo to tell her how she really feels about her, until then she won't contact her for a week. Sorawo encounters some fake Torikos with no/strange faces (one hits her with a frying pan), spends a night in the other world, and then goes to Toriko and they have a long discussion about their feelings. There's also a new female character who manages the artifacts and is into the occult
>>3875726anything addressing Satsuki?
>>3875723>鵼What does it mean and what do you mean?
>>3875715They actually fucked?
>>3875764they tried the normal way but it didn't work so they used their Otherside body parts to bring in more pleasure to each other
Can't wait to read it, and I'm going to re-read all the previous 7 first. Just need to control myself and not hover over these spoilertags.
>>3875742It means Nue but it's a kanji composed with the kanji for sky (空 sora) and bird (鳥 tori).
>>3875830Cute.
>>3875787What do you mean it didn't work? How do you even eyefuck someone?
>>3875715NueSIGNALIS has ruined that character for me.
AdaShima 10 was pretty good. The part with Tarumi hit me harder than I expected. Neither of them did anything wrong, yet they both suffered. I'm not sure why Iruma keeps saying that volume 8 was the canon ending and everything else is just a side story, all of the future stuff can fit together without anything feeling like it's out of place. Plus that one BD extra story seems like the most definitive ending to me.
>>3875715Based based based
>>3875657Thanks. I guess I will not continue reading it.
>>3876314Maybe volume 8 is just as far as he originally envisioned the story to go.
>>3875726How do you rate the volume compared to previous ones?
Is AdaShima worth reading after watching the anime? I liked it, but was disheartened when I saw that they adapted 4 whole volumes, and yet it felt like not a whole lot had happened in the anime.
>>3876821Nope.
>>3876800For anyone reading for the yuri it will assuredly be the top one so far, since it's all about their relationship. Since there's not much plot progression aside from that, it's a bit of a breather episode, so some people might find it lacking in action, but personally I liked the atmosphere it had. Another winner, anyway.
>>3876821It's pure fluff and gay sperging. They don't save the world from aliens or anything. There's more development for their relationship in the LNs but if you didn't enjoy the anime then you wouldn't enjoy the books.
>>3876821That's because the novels are predicated on their internal monologue which the manga and anime had to almost entirely cut out. Try reading them, it's a very different experience. As for romantic payoff, it starts in volume 6 although 5 has the most memorable scene in the series.
>>3876844Vol. 6 was one long adventure and 7 had to deal with a major plot element on top of advancing other characters so I felt like the relationship development between Sorawo and Toriko slowed down a bit and came to a roadblock where the former had to decide to fully reciprocate the latter. Sounds like volume 8 is exactly what was needed now.
>>3876846>>3876848I'm a fan of fluff, and I hated the alien loli, so this sounds good to me. I'll try reading it from the start, thanks anons.
>>3876844That sounds good, their relationship development has been well written and based on good reasons so far, with logical (for the world and characters) progression and I certainly wouldn't mind a volume which focuses on it assuming Miyazawa keeps the quality as high as it has been. More otherside shenanigans are something I can look forward to next time.
>“Wha—d-don’t, you nutjob! What makes you think that’ll fit in there? D-don’t—you—n-no—no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no don’t no no no no no no no no no no no! No no no…” >“Just be quiet already, will you?”Extremely hot. Reminds me of the one part in Murcielago when the nerd was stuffing ping pong balls into the bully's pussy.
>>3876986I don't know what "that" is but I hope this is not Urasekai. And if it is fuck you too for not using the spoiler tag.
>>3876821It does get this melancholic and bittersweet feel in the later chapters and even the extra chapters made me do some introspection, the like reveal about the alien's promise to Shimamura. I don't remember reading any other yuri that made me feel that way so at the time I considered it a yuri masterpiece. It's best read with the ost playing.https://youtu.be/47y1xeYxCkM
>>3876991>fuck you too for not using the spoiler tag.Only subhumans read for the plot.
Is there some sort of map for the Shokei Shoujo world? I can’t imagine the locations relative to each other well enough with the descriptions given for some reason
>>3875274>What will happen when Umi will graduate?I think that the fact that they're doing mommy play pretty much implies that they're just gonna continue in that direction after her graduation. Even if Iruma writes some side stories about them it's likely that Umi will have to keep Shiho on a leash for the rest of her life while still fearing that the latter might eventually abandon her, but this is just classic Iruma development, they're 100% gonna stay together. >Tarumi is short herselfTarumi has always been described as tall, she's gonna die as a lonely cat lady.
>>3877041You are scum but I believe Miyazawa is not the type to pull a Yoshimura/Piero kind of retarded thing so I guess it's just something out of context like the page about the eyefingering with the word "eye" censored.
>>3877306Reminder that Tarumi is just Sayaka 2.0 down to hair color, eye color and voice actress and that she'll mention having a girlfriend in the epilogue of Adashima who will be seen in a tie-in manga by Nio Nakatani looking exactly like Adachi.
>>3877376Is there a name for this trope? "Designated loser bishoujo", maybe?
>>3877376Maybe lookwise but their personality is not similar at all. Sayaka was never as autistically in love as Tarumi and you cannsee her unrequited crush on Touko as just a nornal teenager thing that later becomes a decent adult, meanwhile Tarumi is on the path to become a lezcel.
>>3877381That's why we call them Yayas. Yaya Nanto and Yaya Sasame were very hot girls that lost in the end.
>>3877382Everyone written by Iruma is some degree of autistic. Tarumi will be fine in that setting.
https://store.kadokawa.co.jp/shop/g/g322210001339/Detarame 4 will be out 3/25I seem to remember an anon was reading the last couple of volumes in past threads. I think they mentioned that there were at least two girls interested in the MC and she decided she was going to make them both happy or something. Guessing it’s another yuri harem in the making?
>>3877301Not that I remember, but the Grisarika kingdom is in the northeast, the holy land is in the western-central part of the continent, the Mechanical Society is in the east, the island archipelago nation that Pandamonium ate is in the southeast, the messed-up land that turned into the floating continent is in the north, and the land of salt is in the far west on an island. More or less. I just imagine the continent is shaped roughly like North America but with Canada carved out and Hawaii turned into salt.
>>3877306I have to say I still don't trust Chiki/Shiho.I don't know why I remembered a page of the manga with Shimamura and Tarumi walking side by side and Tarumi being shorter but yeah, you're right, it's the other way around.But like Shiho will end up with an adult instead of a JK, Takasora can still end up with a tall girl.>>3877386I'm still waiting for romance to be confirmed before of buying and reading it.
>>3874684Currently at ch. 34. It's OK but I'm starting to lose interest. Does the oneeloli in this ever go beyond being a joke?
>>3877426>>3877427>>3877428I'm very excited to see Akari interact with the "real Menou". Extremely desperate for the series to take a sudden turn into comedy where she gets to have a threesome with both of them
>>3877556Me too. I hope Menou and Ivory get into pissing matches over who can be the better girlfriend to Akari.
Just beat AdaShima 10. Tarumi didn't deserve that. Also I cannot believe how these doofuses haven't fucked yet.
>>3877599>>3877601OTP
>>3877610What strategy did you use against the final boss? I can't go for a top finisher without getting aerial punished.
>>3877762Buff yourself with a bottle of Tarumi's Tears then use the boomerang when it reveals its weakpoint.
>>3877771>Using Tarumi's tears to ruin her paintingsJust like my videogames
>>3877610All yayas were born to suffer.
I read Stella Step at Iruma's recommendation. An interesting read, the author says you can interpret it to be any genre you like in the afterword including yuri, which makes me doubt whether the following volumes will go romantic.
>>3878749>you can interpret it to be any genre you like in the afterword including yuriThat's a weird comment, care to spoil more?
>>3878749Teren also recommended it. That and another called 死亡遊戯 which sounds like a Battle Royale style story. Don't know about it, can't really see myself getting invested in a story where all the characters save the protagonist are presumably expendable.
>>3878749>the author says you can interpret it to be any genre you like in the afterword Hard pass.
>>3878749I want to believe Iruma but everytime I see this kind of obi with words from another author I can't help but wonder if they're really that person's words or they just paid to use their name and write whatever. I am not going to forget the obi of Kotozaki-san.
>>3877551It has a harem ending, but the whole story is not that serious. Might just not be what you were looking for.
