New chapter after 20 months edition.Previous thread: >>4460293
We are so back.https://rentry.org/y47d8da8https://takecomic.jp/episodes/e0ceb3bd14a7e
>>4483432>Failed to load episodeAm I region locked out or something, or did they immediately break their shiny new website with an influx of mahoakoheads?
>>4483432How delightful. Truly this month is blessed.
>>4483434The latter. It had some maintenance issues the moment the new site launched, so it may be a little finicky as it adapts to all the traffic.

>>4483441
>>4483439>>4483441Nemo being super hype about cool robot shit is cute, her relationship with Korisu is the bestPretty funny how they get the idea for Roboko's new name from a dorky t-shirt too
Baiser's spic VA is delivering the Utena cosplayhttps://x.com/MajoGuerreroJ/status/1978172745876643851https://x.com/MajoGuerreroJ/status/1978177162722115884Bless this woman
Lots of cute moments and Enormeeta being a second family to Korisu in thiss chapterThough there's no date for the next chapter anywhere
I am painfully uninterested in korisu
>>4483498>Though there's no date for the next chapter anywhereThey haven't implemented that yet sitewide, none of the featured series have dates. Mahoako's is the third Friday of the month, so next chapter should be on November 21st.
>>4483502t. Sulfur
>>4483502Haruka would disagree
>>4483507Sulfur's a tsundere so that means she's interested in /ll/ with Alice.
>>4483510who is the l?
TL nee-sans wake upWe need a non MT translation
>>4483528t. Pearl
>>4483528Its is translated, just needs TS >>4483432
>>4483501Source?
>Utena gave her life>Kiwi gave her a body>Haruka gave her a name>Korisu is rising herHow many moms is too many moms
>>4483547>Haruka gave her a nameThis means Korisu owes her wife sex
>>4483432Korisu and Roboko chapter. Everything is so cute. Everything is so adorable. This month, this year, this timeline is saved. I'm so damn happy. And NOW give me finally the Alice Figure. I beg.
>>4483540I guess the big question is if the usual typesetter (DarkAAC on MD) is still around after a year+ long hiatus. I need my Speedy Sea Cucumber fix.
>>4483558Thanks
>>4483562you could not get me out of this house if you tried.i am however away from my editing machine for the weekend so it might take a little bit for stuff to get done
>>4483562>>4483571We are blessed to have you all. Thank you very much for your continued hard work. May you all have a wonderful weekend and may the machine spirits give strength to your editing machine.
>>4483572>and may the machine spirits give strength to your editing machine.Praise the Omnissiah.
who is going to be paired with makina? momo?
>>4483694Korisu. Or the triplets if Korisu doesn't lock them down.
>>4483593Makina40k
>>4483694Kiwi.
>post hiatus chapter>it's full of cute moments and interactions between the castwe are so fucking back
>>4483432>Man, that stuff with Roboko yesterday sure was surprising, huh...>yesterdayFuck man I waited soo long for this chapter
Has anyone mentioned working on a ts yet? Tempted to do it myself but im new here and dont wanna step on toes and have no idea what to even do with it when done
>>4483787Love the spirit anon. See >>4483432 for your reading pleasure.
>>4483798Spirit motivated by a concerning obession I developed with the series and malice at the only mangadex upload being a seemingly mtl version. From what I gather just typeset from the provided TL, then post an album?
>>4483803If you want. The old typesetter did post about getting to it, earlier in the thread, but yeah. I believe the /a/ thread had a rip of the chapter, not sure on the quality.
>>4483806Ah, I somehow missed that post in my scroll. In which case I'm more than happy to wait and just post the only page I did before digging for better raws>>4483571Though I extend the offer to assist in any way it's needed!
>>4483571Thank you for you work anon. There's some guys that uploaded a MTL AI-upscaled version and I refuse to read it, even though it's been so long since a chapter came out. I will happily wait for yours now that I know you're still doing it.
>>4483527Sulfur. Alice is the mommy obviously.
>>4483746Magenta got even cuter somehow.
>>4483977i think this is approaching flanderizationher face is almost never normal/"realistic" anymore
>>4483980Stay in school
Alright, what panels am I coloring today?
>>4484003The panel where Nemo's unfathomably smug about her definition of the words. Unless that makes you existence then Alice presenting Roboko at the start
>>4484005I assume you mean this one?
>>4484007Yep, yep pls. I would suggested one of the ice cream feeding ones but those seemed more involved.
>>4484008Alright, Nemo and Alice are both on my desktop now.
>>4484003>>4484005One down!
>>4484022Adorable, thank you illustrator anon.
>>4484022cute
>>4484022Great image for gets.
Can't there be some sort of reader where you can put the translationed text in a box when the cursor hovers over it like on the booru sites so we aren't at the mercy of one anon's busy life?
>>4484041It's been 20 months. A few more days is ok, no?Also, even if that was a thing, you'd then be at the mercy of the anon that puts it into the box.
>>4484047It's a lot easier to copy and paste into a box than erase and format
>>4484003>>4484005Had time to do the other one.Was tempted to do some retarded post-processing shit, but I didn't want to raise the bar for my future edits.
>>4484070Great work. It's unfair how smug Nemo gets.
>>4484072she knows that, as a stinky gamer, she won the lottery with Matama
>>4484041If you really can't be bothered waiting here's baby's first scanlation. It's probably riddled with issues and stuff but it was mostly made for friends who also didnt wanna waithttps://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/o24a2qmgw7l/1/23/
>>4484138Thanks, anon.
>>4484022She had official colors for this chapter, so I made a Player 2 alt version.
>>4483426Finally a new chapter
The twist is nobody actually likes the magical girls
>>4484220Utena does.
>>4484221where's platypi? the new chapter is out
>>>/a/283130144Typesetting has been done on /a/.
>>4484262bless /a/non
Volume 2 of the English release arrived yesterday at my home. Still haven't opened it or the previous one.
>>4484262The font looks a little off, I'll wait for the usual speedy sea cucumber
>>4484369Has it been fucked by lolcowlizers? I know a lot of manga and games have been screwed over by localizers lately.
>>4484404That would require me to open it.
Is there a drawanon capable of fixing THAT Machina panel.
>>4484222Currently doing the lord's work and is drawing mom/daughter stuff
>>4484416How about requesting Korisu with Makina going to town on her mother.
>>4484404>I know a lot of manga and games have been screwed over by localizers lately.You don't know anything
Someone posted a finished version on 'Dex from the /u/ group. Was that our guy (>>4483571) or someone else?
>>4484418She's in these threads, just shout it out to the ether and hope for the best
>>4484426No speedy cucumber = not o/u/r gal
>>4484429Then I shall continue to wait v.v
>>4484426seems like the one from /a/, so not even the one that was posted earlier in the thread, and for sure not speedy cucumber
How come Roboko has tiddy with nipple if she was made from a Gunpla and a child's doll
>>4484448Magic, duh. Or maybe dolls just have nipples in this universe. I dunno.
>>4484448There's sexy gunpla out there.
>>4484448Her powers are inherently lewd so it makes sense she'd turn her doll into a sexdoll
>>4484448You didn't undress your doll the first chance you get? You also didn't draw nips on them? Damn, what a waste.
>>4484003Had time to get around to this one, too.
>>4484469Looks fabulous!!Still makes it funny to think how fandom gave Roboko fan colours with most popular meing body fully being skintoned and eyes and magic blue. But her limbs in robo form could be blue from gundam, and, for example like on yours work, her eyes could be red like Korisu's isntead of being opposite bright blue and etc.... Perhaps... now that i think about it, some coulours could even change between Roboko and Makina-chan! Really interesting! Can't wait for official colours of gorgeous robo queen!
>>4484498I checked the anime, and I mostly used her colors.I just didn't use yellow on the ribbons, because I didn't like it.
Though I'm not anti-loli yuri I do find the author's non-sexualization of Alice charming
>>4484517Yeah, somehow I agree. It's like a top that doesn't undress. That's probably why there isn't a figurine of her yet.
>>4484520>Author has shut down all attempts to make lewd merch of the precious child even though he would make money off of itBased if true.
>>4484452Super Fumina?
>>4484448You're forgetting Baiser's magic was used to help make her and that Korisu is being influenced by Baiser.
>>4484424I bought the official release of a yuri manga not that long ago. It had your sterotypical prince type and whoever translated it changed all her pronouns to they/them.
>>4484647Which one was it?
>>4484369Do you have any already opened? Could you post a pic here?I got the italian edition and was ugly with the saturation of black tones.
>>4484647No you didn't
Is Makina Roboko's first or last name?
>>4484889Safe to say it's her given name. While we don't have an official family name for her yet, I could probably see her being given Korisu's family name of Morino given her little sister position.
What's the next story arc gonna be?Azul?
>>4484432Now you can stop waiting, googled just finishedhttps://mangadex.org/chapter/ce8fe425-675c-4a34-8fe6-df4e663f81c8
>>4484914And including the Dynasty versionhttps://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/looking_up_to_magical_girls_ch59#1
>>4484900doubt it, probably one more Makina/Roboko chapter and then the story will continue with Utena's quest to cure Haruka
>>4484900lmao
>>4484914>>4484919Cute
>>4484914Blessed speedy sea cucumber.
Makina specifically going "Red. Blue. Yellow." at the ice-cream might be a Machine Robo Rescue reference, and if that's the case then I'm assuming her dialogue is loaded with even more mecha references I'm not getting.
>>4484428i have to remember how to draw them first before i do anything that complicated
>>4484992You're gonna have to try harder now that you have competition Magenta; you HAVE to put on the doll dress, with the balljoint leggings/gloves and everything. it's the only way
>>4484992Is there when needed most
I’ve been rereading Gushing Over Magical Girls to catch up. Kiwi’s in gay baby jail now.
>>4484992be honest you thought you'd escape from mahoako
>>4485345no way, i had more doomful kind of thinking about it. i was losing a lot of hope that the manga was ever coming back... and i dislike most of the anime merch coming out, which i thought that's all that was left of the property before it would die a silent death. very happy to be proven wrong
>>4484992I love your Haruka and Korisu, Platipy-sama. Please draw more of them. Or perhaps more cute Kaoruko if you're not comfortable with publishing loli art.
>>4485380Rhythm heaven Utena's so cute
So Kiwi got pretty close, right? Hopefully there are going to be some exclusively lewd Magenta x Makina scenes. I pray.
>>4486021>makina gets felt up>not censored because she's clearly not a humansasuga ononaka sensei
I thought they gonna call Roboko Soundwave
>>4486071>ROBOKO. SUPERIOR >LEOPARD. INFERIOR
>>4486021>Magenta x MakinaImpossible. Magenta is a pedophile.
>>4486137Makina was born yesterday
>>4486138That grimy doll was probably manufactured in 1955.
>>4486154She's Korisu's little sister. So now we have a loli with adult body to balance the adult with a loli body.
>>4486057She isn't properly censored in any of the lewd scenes and Kiwi's fingers are not close enough to really make an impact. That's why the next chapter in the year of our Lady 2027 will be absolutely insane.>>4486137It's just a self-aware vibrator directed by Alice at this point. And I'm all for it. This way sensei can go all out.
>>4484498My headcanon is that her robo-limbs are the same pale green as the Turn-X, since she has the same sort of detachable limb gimmick.
>>4487053>Turn-XWhat? I have no comparison. Please give me the HEX Code for that.
>>4487268You could google Turn-X.
>>4487276Honestly I thought it was a turn-signal greenish. Like a traffic light but different. I did not know it was another mecha.
>>4487278>since she has the same sort of detachable limb gimmick
>>4487283Do not expect logic. I have seen some weird traffic lights.
>Ononaka gushing about InterstellarMahoako in Space soon.
>>4487860That movie was pure unadultered slop unfortunately. But Mahous make everything better.
>>4487861I thought it was whatever but just like Ononaka I'm a sucker for relative passage of time through FTL travel. I've been dreaming of a yuri version of Gunbuster for ages (no, I don't mean Diebuster).
>>4487860That or Utena gets sent to space by Vena and returns only to find out decades have passed in her absence
>>4487862>I don't mean DiebusterBut you should.
>>4487860>Ononaka shinyhuntingIt's over another 2 year delay incoming
>>4487872NTA but Diebuster spends most of its runtime being het and then ends with the yuri forever separated and it didn't even get a turbogay movie like Utena.
>Big part of the end of Gunbuster being that you don't know how much earth has changed scientifically and culturally since they left to activate the black hole>Diebuster takes a dump on all of their efforts because lol space monsters are back and stronger than ever>Then proceeds to say it takes place a few years before the ending of gunbuster>Almost everything is the same except people mostly live on other planets now>Nobody really cared about earth at allDiebuster is SHIT
>>4487930>Ononaka understands the struggle of finding a male shiny SnoruntGet shini hunting yourself and offer to trade him. I'll do it too.
>>4487939That's not like finding a shiny male Salandit. Shiny Glalie is pretty badass
>>4487936>b-but muh annoslop "lore"Diebuster did absolutely nothing wrong.
>>4489658That's cute. I like how both situations are in line with Randa's character.
https://x.com/mahoako_anime/status/1984183563927855222Could it be that we're not far from S2 info? This is the first time they made new anime promo art instead of reusing ones made for S1, and the tweet mentions to look forward to S2 updates.
>>4489658Wrong tf item.
>>4489747i give it either later this month or mid december for an announcement, it's been a year since they said S2 was confirmed
>>4490470you really shouldn't be posting it here in general. That belongs on /d/
I've noticed that unlike the previous website Storia, the new one doesn't yet indicate when the new chapter will be released. Will it not be released this month?
>>4491079hope it's just the website being shit
>>4491079It's like that for all series on the website, it just doesn't have that section at all.
Let's not forget to say Happy Birthday!
Did the current TL team ever go back and redo the chapters that were already done by the previous group? Also, if someone were to storytime the manga on /a/, would you prefer the fan TLs be used or the official one?
>>4494257I've not read the official, so Idk how they compare. From that alone, I choose fan TL. I have faith in our anons.
>>4494317Pretty sure the official also went with 'I stan' in that one line so they're good in my book.
Which Pokemon (female) would each MahoAko have?
>>4494257Would there be any point to doing that? Helvetica's work was pretty good.
>>4494451I doubt there would be, but if it did happen it would help solve any possible inconsistencies. I'll just keep track of where the switch happens if I go with those though.
>>4494444Sulfur gets Zapdos.
>>4494444Utena: MightyenaKiwi: LiepardKorisu: MagearnaHaruka: BlisseyKaoruko: ShinxSayo: SamurottNemo: SableyeMatama: JigglypuffBerserga: PrimeapePantano: TrapinchTanako: Zygarde
Another translated doujin, same author as the 'Utenbating' one: https://exhentai.org/g/3640048/9cab05f4e9/
>>4494490But they aren't adults!
>>4494490From the thumbnail I thought it was going to be Baiser x Sulfur. UteKiwi is so boring....
https://x.com/onnkakhr/status/1990266071560171569Seems like next (side) chapter will be released this weekend
>>4494505>UteKiwi is so boring
>>4494512Maybe he was just talking about the Haruka drawing
>>4494512>it gonna be a ".5" chapter for this month instead of a regular chapterSeems like the author still has the mystery illness. It's clearly not as severe anymore since he can draw again but we are probably going to be seeing some more ".5" chapters in between main chapters for a while. Not a bad thing but I doubt that Sister arc is gonna start anytime soon.
>>4494462Haruka would more likely have Tsareena without really understanding how she got it.
>>4494491Adults don't have sex.
>>4494491They can star in the doujin, they just can't buy it.
>>4494444Sister Gigant would probably have some enormous pokemon but also something godly considering her nun outfit. Groudon feels perfect for her.
>>4494462>tfw you don't know 90% of those namesAny young'uns up for trading? I brought the cable.
>>4494462>Utena: MightyenaWeavil's more fitting.>Nemo: SableyeMawile>Korisu: MagearnaI'd love to hear why you think she should have a mythic. Mimikyu's right there. Barring that Gengar's there too.
>>4494512I'm fine with the author being at 75% capacity for the time being, he expects to be back to full soon so that doesn't sound too bad.
>>4494444Utena: Inkay that evolvesKiwi: MeowscaradaKorisu: Gengar and Banette (Makina)Haruka: WhimiscottKaoruko: Pawmo that evolvesSayo: FroslassNemo: MawileMatama: SalazzleBerserga: ZweilosPesca: SliggooLorde: GardevoirTanaka: Zorua(hisuian)Holy/Gigante: LopunnyCyan: Mismagius
>>4494565Then how were you born Nee-san!? >>4494572Tragic double standards
Since Ononaka has tweeted about playing ZA, I wonder if he made the MC look like Utena like 100B did Satoko.
>>4494597What capacity is Ito at?
>>4494607Imaginary number domain.
>>4494607Ito is that one simpsons joke about having every disease possible
>>4494512What's that on her ear? A ribbon earring?
>>4494596>why does the girl who owns a robot girl should get the closest thing in pokemon to a robot girl?
>>4494512Well that's sucks but at least sensei knows his limits, and as long as the mini chapters are still fun I can wait
>>4494596>GengarBetter fit for Nemo.>>4494604>SalazzleBetter fit for Utena
>>4494514Their entire dynamic is Kiwi has a hell of a crush on Utena, but Utena only loves magical girls. Anything that has Utena returning the love feels forced and going against canon.
>>4494677>but Utena only loves magical girls. Anything that has Utena returning the love feels forced and going against canon.I think that's a bit much. Isn't that like saying someone can't be both an otaku and love a person? She can like both magical girls and Kiwi.Her group is practically magical girls anyway. They just happen to be the evil ones.
>>4494677>Kiwi is known magia Leopard>somehow is not a magical girl that Utena lovesAre you okay?
>>4494677>Anything that has Utena returning the love feels forced and going against canon.If I may give a reminder of this canon moment.Sure, it's not love, but it's not like she can't fall for Kiwi.
>>4494677It's hard to say it's love. It's certainly not respect, from the fans or the writer is it? No. You know the magical girls don't deserve love or dignity. At the core of this story, the essence of it is really just about hate and revenge against a more popular group of girls by a nerdy outcast girl, diminishing them to nothing.
>>4494705How can you say this? Utena wants nothing more than for the magical girls to win in the end, as seen in the climax of every major arc so far. She engineered everything with Randa so that Imitatio would become a true magical girl even though this meant getting her ass kicked by her.
>b-but how can it be love if there's sadism???>b-b-but how does it make sense she could love anything other than a magical girlIt's made pretty clear that Utena is aesthetically (and erotically) fixated on heroic struggle and triumph, and everything else follows from that. She's in love with a certain kind of mythic beauty, and that happens to manifest via kink because that is the nature of the work. Agonizing over who is or isn't a magical girl is missing the point.It's not hateful or disrespectful at all, but it IS very male brained. I can see why that could cause issues on /u/.
>>4494749>spoilerIs this bait? What's so male brained about it. I seriously don't understand.
>>4494444It'd be easier to give them Digimon, I know Utena would go for either Rosemon or LadyDevimon
>>4494756>pretending to not understand generalizations>also implyingI don't want to derail the thread following through on this tired song and dance.I wasn't trying to bait, let's just move on.
>>4494759I'm not pretending. But fine let's drop it if you can't properly articulate your opinion.
>>4494757Kiwi: BastemonKorisu: KokeshimonHaruka: CutemonKaoruko: GrapLeomonSayo: HexeblaumonNemo: EyesmonMatama: GekomonRanda: SangloupmonMomo: SunalizamonGiganto: Sistermon NoirTanako: Murmuxmon
>>4494690>Kiwi is known magia LeopardShe's just Leopard
kiwi is going to be a cougar because utena is never going to wed her haha
>>4494705This is the biggest misread of Utena's motivation I've ever seen. Her whole deal is that she loves magical girls. She had one of them literally about to lick her feet, and this was her response.
>>4494705That's a western as fuck read. This is STEEPED in idol culture. It's all about archetypes and narrative. It's hard for me to find an appropriate analogy to go off of (I typed up a whole fucking attempt to compare it to a comic book nerd sperging about how Batman should always be moody and never use a gun but it got too convoluted).
>>4494677>Their entire dynamic is Kiwi has a hell of a crush on Utena, but Utena only loves magical girlsUtena says her feelings for Kiwi are complicated, she doesn't reject them, but can't reciprocate them yet>>4494705>you know this character who loves magical girls she's willing to play the villain for them to beat and create insane plots and situations to push them further and be even better heroes? she actually hates themwut
>>4494797>STEEPED in idol culture>all about archetypes and narrative>hard for me to find an appropriate analogyWrestling? The chat she has with Michiko is pretty much about their approach to maintaining kayfabe and how that doesn't overlap with their real selves. But also half of Utena's whole deal is pretty standard BDSM, which the author has a good understanding of.
>>4494806>>4494797Wrestling's a good western analogue.
>>4494796Except in reality, in the meta sense, it's about proving Utena superior and diminishing the magical girls to nothing. The core sentiment is about hating and resenting them. The magical girls being weaker, objects and subhumans who deserve violence as their assigned role. Utena being the one who you actually see as a person and respect.The magical girls who did some kind of wrong or provoked some kind of jealousy, thus revoking any right to consent. Roles that are forcibly assigned by some idea of "justice".
>>4494827Are you the crazy anon from the animu threads that saw things not there?
Friendly general reminder that you should probably not ever do a BDSM if you think sadism is about hatred or revenge and not love.
Still waiting on more 'Fork in the Road'
>>4494677Oh no, look it's chapter 7 where Utena abandons the figure of Azul(because she sees the magical girls as her toys) in favor of saving and making sure Kiwi is okay.
>>4494838>>4494908See?
>>4494797I never understand why people always say something is western when it doesn't fit what they believe should be Japan's idealogy.
>>4494962Simplified world-views. Unfortunately, social media reinforces this kind of shit because it encourages engagement.
>>4494962Yeah, that is a silly thing, the west literally had medieval poem traditions that leaned into character archetypes way harder than MahoAko or idol culture do. It's just a part of human nature.
>>4494827
I was looking for shit to buy for black friday when I noticed that the anime got a western release.>now with more moanslol. I'm a little disappointed that there's no English dub, because that might've been one of the worst things humanity has ever produced.
>>4495314An English dub made in the early 2000s would have been kino.
>>4495314they shoulda gotten eng vtubers to do the voices
>>4487936Gunbuster is good but is horribly written, Diebuster Enokidokino. Imagine preferring Gunbuster to the sequel by Utena's writer.>>4488085The ending is actually Okadaslop, unless he lied and he may have.
>>4488085>>4495332Diebuster is an incomprehensible mess. It's a 12-episode series that got compressed into 6 episodes because "that's how Gunbuster did it".Many subplots get no payoff, and the ones that do are so rushed that it's impossible to feel any satisfaction from them. There's a good reason why the original is a classic while Diebuster has been forgotten.
>>4495334diebuster isn't the one that shoehorned a terrible hetshit romance into not even a full episode. actually it's because otaku have pigshit taste.
>>4495314>>4495324I stand by believing dubbed Kiwi would've sounded like the biggest valley girl that ever valleyd
>>4495335Doesn't matter, still sucks.
>>4495342Kiwi sounds like a valley girl even in Japanese
>>4495342She is the type so it wouldn't be bad.
>>4494451I caught several mistakes when I was reading it raw during the hiatus.
>>4494490From the thumbnail it looked like Utena was holding a naked Sulfur.
>2 more days for a new chapterI can't wait sisters!
>>4495331>starring Pipkin Pippa as Roco MusicaFucking I M A G I N E
>>4495466I for one am glad to know that she's obviously into women. Like it goes past the appeasing to men bit a vtuber would do
Are the chapters no longer coming out earlier on Amazon and such? The website rip for the last chapter was pretty crisp so I'm not complaining or anything, but it's a bit odd.
>>4495407It would help if you pointed out the mistakes for us unenlightened too.
