i was misreading the title of this as Colorful AntiMONY, because of the vol 1 cover depicting color on the character's face, and the fact that antimony is a mineral that's been historically used in cosmetics

but the title is actually AntiNOMY, which is a philosophical position where you hold two beliefs that are each reasonable on their own, but which contradict each other when taken together

since shibata-sensei has written other manga about makeup and cosmetics, i wonder if she chose the title with both ideas in mind.

Romance tag is 100% appropriate for the series. It’s yet to be determined whether it’s GL, so it shouldn’t be tagged as such for now.

I mean, if you can't determine WHO she is romantic with, its not really a romance. Her looking for a lover and only finding friends isn't a romance.

If the type of romance is up in the air, the romance tag should be too.

Talk of romance and dating is a constant theme throughout the series, and it only becomes more prominent in later (yet to be translated) chapters. Since romance seems to be an important aspect of the series, I do think it should be tagged as such. Of course if things change later then I'll put in a request for the tag to be removed.

I'll try to see if I can get the description changed, though. At the moment it's definitely somewhat misleading.

Despite her meeting a woman on a 'dating' app i believe the tags are based on the genre of the original/raws? So besides 'josei' if there's not a romance tag from the author's opinion unless it's still ongoing and pressure from the audience/editor to go with a yuri end

And being bisexual and ending up with a man can still be a thing with ppl 'exploring their sexuality' can be a thing, i feel like ppl would feel 'betrayed' or at least frustrated/upset if it got a "girls love/ yuri tag" only for her to not end up with another girl in the end versus some open ended kinda end

Tho i have seen some tags for 'girls love' in one shots where they get confessed and rejected (and sometimes tagged as tragedy but i think that's a bit extreme versus like a death happening)

ngl I actually would prefer it if every chapter was just simmering homoeroticism that even the author is unaware of. To me, thats more interesting & funny

shibata sensei has drawn gl and bl illustrations (some can be seen on her booth) so as far as the homoeroticism goes, i'm certain she's not unaware of it.

I hope someone can pick this up if the last tl doesn’t come back
my group is looking into picking it up, but it won't be for a few more months at the soonest. if someone else wants to pick it up before us, you can dm me for materials and help with scanlation
