Boyish Kanojo ga Kawaisugiru - Ch. 26 - My boyish girlfriend's idol cosplay is pretty damn cute

[Reader1138]

Chill. It seems to just be an honest mistake that has since been addressed.

And you can't blame groups wanting to move away from Mangadex given what happened a few months ago. It might be inconvenient but it's a good idea to start diversifying your sources if you want to continue this hobby - and that includes Discord.

Diversifying is a good plan but their original plan wasn't about that, it was to limit it solely to their Discord which they already were posting. Maybe they were simply turtling up in fear of legal repercussion or maybe it was a cynical move to increase membership on their Discord that didn't pay off. I don't know and that is because they didn't bother to explain or justify their original decision.
Since they didn't think it worth giving the readers a reason (in fact their only explaination was a vague "for reasons" and promotion for their Discord) if some people do hold a negative attitude toward the group thats their own fault. How much time would it have taken to type out an extra sentence on the page announcing their intent to stop posting explaining that they were fearful of legal attention via Mangadex posting? If it was for more selfish reasons then it would make sense that they would keep it vague.
Personally I've withheld any judgements until I have more information. However, posting with a page missing certainly would make one think that it was just another tactic to get people on their discord to see the missing content. Yes it was a since corrected mistake but the original post by Bigaku didn't have that correction at the time to go by so his/her suspicions weren't unwarrented. When you consider that Mangadex had to impliment a policy against groups chopping up chapters (unless thats how its originally published in its magazine) for partial upload in order to hold back the latter parts as limited time exclusives on their own sites that only shows this is not an unknown tactic.

@Reader1138: I completely forgot that they announced that they would stop uploading here. Thanks for reminding me.

mask-chan with police cosplay is just... peak.

MC can keep the tomboy because I'm going to make mask-chan happy goddamnit

I mean, this has been quite the standard for anime in general, but why do these people act like they were spawned with exotic dress? I mean, you saw that dress, you wore it, and then the shame hits you?

 

[CulR]

I see what you did

 

[Sky_Ravager]

thanks for the chapter

I really can't buy them wanting to move away from MangaDex, because.... here they are... on MangaDex again...

If a group was planning to move away from MangaDex, and it isn't for legal reasons, then, respectfully, I sure hope they commit to their decisions, because at least another group might TL it here on MangaDex. This is my main issue, they get to hold the series hostage while they test the waters and do their social experiments.

Personally, I just refuse to use Discord as a manga source. I use Discord for work and to hang out with friends, I am not cluttering my servers because a random 3/10 isekai manga I want to read is held hostage by a group that only posts on Discord. And even if I were, I think Discord has a limit for how many servers you can join, it really is not the platform to be using for this... but it is the platform to use for many other things which tempts groups to pull shit like this.
I am not really that angry or mad, I just found it weird how nobody is calling out their bullshit now despite people doing so in the previous chapter's comments.

@Bigaku I understand. I think I know what actually happened here, and it's probably not what you think. I'll just send you a PM.

As someone who was on the Discord, no, The original post on discord was ALSO missing those pages. And since the discord was pretty quiet I didn't bother sending a message about it. I assumed it was a mistake on my end. Just to let you know that I think it was a genuine mistake.

My Boyish Girlfriend is Too Toxic.
Is the author in an abusive relationship and he doesnt' realize it?

 

[GIN_8_6_]

A twin tail, a tomboy, a tan gyaru and a man of culture are deadly combination

 

[Angelonius]

We don't even get to see the idol outfit. Is there a page missing?

sus

 

[wallsg]

Yes there is actually a page missing...
Idk wtf is the deal with this group, first they try to keep their releases locked behind their discord, and then presumably people don't give a shit, so they have to shamefully post on MangaDex again with a page (that adds a lot of context to the chapter) missing.
I don't get the end goal here or what the group is trying to lead people into. Reading on aggregators is a better experience at this point.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but that's how this comes across.

This chapter was posted by them on Cubari on July 14.

Girlfriend wants to progress relationship. Boyfriend thinks of way to do it slowly. Gets punched for being considerate and using a great situation for a HUG.

Man I'd be considering a less abusive partner at that point.

Switch their genders and the puncher's in jail.

 

[Koneko_Nyaa]

I would have dumped her on the spot. Is she wants to be abusive, she can be single.

...and then she'd be the one begging for him back and he'd have the power to set healthy boundaries, should he decide to take her back.

Dude needs to get his man card back.
