Kudou is so well-written, oh my god. She plays off all the preconceptions people have, that surely subs cannot abuse people, and surely dommes can't be abused, while also being a foil/parallel to like... every other main cast member? I'm baffled how the author pulled this off. I was so skeptical...

This site will never fail to have the worst takes on a yuri series I see. This one's great

As to polyamory, you can just hit them at slightly different times. They look at Person A, you shoot. They look back at Person B, you shoot again. Guns can have multiple shots before a reload, after all. You don't need to hit all targets at once like Koharu did.

Underrated part of this manga is how it handled heavy topics like Akira having been assaulted. It doesn't get huge focus and whole chapters explicitly revolving around it, but its impacts appear over and over as the manga progresses. Akira still gets horribly startled by boys touching her, years...

Respectfully I can't tell what you're trying to communicate. Are you just saying Japanese men aren't masculine? Idk what else to say than that's racist my guy

Wild seeing a bunch of people's hate for this manga that doesn't even touch on the reason I hate this manga. Y'all don't even know the sheer torture that was trying to read this as a lesbian—the entire premise, and a bunch of the plot beats, are a trope so lesbophobic I haven't even seen it in...

According to other statements in this thread THEY don't want people consuming it like this. I don't think an artist has or should have absolute authority over that, but I feel just kinda shitty when I know it's hurting someone's feelings for me to consume something they worked amazingly hard on...

Cute manga but ew chatgpt, translate it for real or use a program that actually knows what it's doing

AI was not correct. You still should not read this though, because it was taken and translated without the author's knowledge or permission! Cool to do that to companies, not at all to independent artists!

Seems like someone watched Revolutionary Girl Utena and went "I can do that!" They could not do that.

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Edit: The portrayal of the subject matter in question is actually surprisingly thoughtful. The story doesn't reference it explicitly very much, but the effects are still there in details about how the characters act. Akira is still badly startled by people...

The manga currently lacks the "sexual violence" tag despite two instances of SA in the first chapter. To be clear, yes, pulling someone's clothes off while they try to stop you is SA, by definition and in effect. (Just wanted to make sure we were all on the right page with that.) While many...

I just wanna clarify that I was very explicitly pointing out the wispy trails of hair and smoke as NOT signs of ai in this case. They often are. The fact they were in the artist's older art makes it very clear, as I said in my original comment, that it's just a thing they do themselves.

Yes, but notice how this is a pretty different style from the comic itself—this art specifically doesn't have the aspects of the comic's art that make it seem AI-generated, except the use of very long, flowing strands (of hair, of smoke, etc.). The fact that those AI art red flags are in the...

Well, add that to the list of reasons I'm learning Japanese IG. I've been thinking all about Kita since I left that original comment. My girl got totally shafted. I'm really sad, too, since it's so rare to see actual trans girls in yuri manga despite trans girls making up a significant chunk of...
