    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Ch. 9 - Didn't I tell you about that?

    Atmospheric science in MY yuri? It's more likely than you think. Sorry for the book report in the TL notes. Reading that section made me think of Gengen Kusano's quote in the Yuri Made Me Human interview where he said no one likes a dry-ass hard SF infodump, but they get more interested in it...

    Fuzoroi no Renri - Side Stories - Ch. 42

    Good on Shizuku for being able to sever that relationship. It's hard work unwiring an abusive parental relationship, especially when there's someone there who will always be down to help you wallow in those feelings. It's a big achievement on Shizuku's point that she's able to allow herself to...

    Haidou! - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Abandoned road in Okutama

    Ooh, industrial landscapes at work seemingly without human interaction are something else. Creates a strong, super romantic "alone together" vibe.

    Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! - Vol. 14 Ch. 68 - In Order to Be the Younger Sister

    you say this as if Nene didn't intentionally and systematically blow up her personal and working relationships with Sumika by playing a manipulative romance game, then hid from the emotional fallout it saddled Sumika with for the better part of a year

    Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! - Vol. 14 Ch. 68 - In Order to Be the Younger Sister

    I think Kanoko is slowly figuring out her own feelings. She is so attuned to Sumika's emotional state and needs in this chapter. I really think service is Kanoko's love language, and it's been understandably difficult for Sumika to realize that given that Kanoko's initial acceptance of the...

    Fuzoroi no Renri - Side Stories - Ch. 41

    Shizuku talks real tough, but she's probably the biggest softie of the bunch. She's kinda trapped in the cycle of hating herself and finding reasons to justify that feeling. I think the others genuinely valuing her and encouraging her to value herself more are why Shizuku's more resistant to...

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - There's nothing you can do about things that have always been tall

    One thought I keep coming back to after this chapter is how 'maintenance' of the Endeavor Clan's culture and tradition require women to function as reproductive cogs in economically-prestigious jobs. The people whose jobs involve making economic and cultural decisions work in relatively new...

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - There's nothing you can do about things that have always been tall

    To your point about them already being in a hinge position, I like how the story so far (and this chapter especially) have had a lot of little things that have been illustrating the general conservatism of the setting. At this point, it's clear they're fighting the odds, so even when they get an...

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - There's nothing you can do about things that have always been tall

    Diode truly is a Real One. According to our translator, as of this chapter, roughly half of the first novel volume (of three currently published - a fourth is also in the works) has been adapted. The next update is scheduled for May 17. The first volume is scheduled for release on June 7, so...

    Haidou! - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Abandoned mountain road. Old national road 20

    Loving this manga, these first two chapters have really captured the feeling of visiting rewilded places.

    Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 13 Ch. 68 - Pandora in the Next Room I

    Sorawo's got a good head on her shoulders by keeping up with her studies, 'cuz if she's gonna mess around with the folklore-based horror world it helps to be smarter about it

    Fuzoroi no Renri - Side Stories - Ch. 39

    Glad Minami is in a situation where she feels loved and supported, even if she does have to spend most of her time babysitting three other brats

    Destroy It All And Love Me In Hell! - Vol. 3 Ch. 11 - Light Up the Night

    Even if Kurumi and Naoi don't have the healthiest dynamic it's still a vast improvement on Kurumi's home life. Holy hell

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Ch. 7 - So Do Whatever You Want

    It may also be a question of pilot skill and comfort, flying wings do tend to be dynamically unstable. I'd guess that couples would typically prefer to fly safely within their comfort zones. But since Terra and Diode are both trying really hard to impress one another by helping the other get...

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Ch. 7 - So Do Whatever You Want

    Love to see their trust in one another growing and it paying off with their catches, even if Diode does keep acting a bit squirrelly when they're back on station. Also, this chapter finally pushed me to go back and make some edits to chapter 1. First, we had just been letting the usage of...

    Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - The Matter of That Farm III

    I genuinely love how Toriko is gently vibe-checking Sorawo's feelings on same-sex relationships and meanwhile Sorawo is stunlocked by the realization that of course some people put gender theory into gender practice iirc this was a store exclusive (gamers?) side side story given out with...

    Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - The Matter of That Farm III

    Sorawo uses "what are you, my boyfriend?" It's super effective!

    Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! - Vol. 14 Ch. 67 - Because I Am Your Older Sister

    My impression is that Kanoko's main issue here is that she really doesn't have a framework for close friendship outside of 'girlfriend' or 'lovers'. What she seems to want most, and is struggling to define in a context outside of a relationship, is to repay the kind of close support that Sumika...
