@milleniumbug will you being releasing new chapters monthly or do you not know?

 

[TaylorsPoke]

Ahh I allready cant wait for more! This is one of my favourite mangas >.<

 

[Walter_vi_Britannia]

I don't like the addition of the new girl very much so far...but who knows, that might change eventually.

 

[MidnighTea]

Kaiserk is awesome. @milleniumbug is cutest magical girl for translating for us though.

 

[ajddavid452]

@MidnighTea ARE YOU ASSUMING THEIR GENDER?!?!
(this is a joke btw, also I don't know Milleniumbug's gender so...)

 

[MidnighTea]

@ajddavid452 Just for that I've decided you're a magical girl now too. The app should be installing on your phone now.

We're all magical girls when we read this manga, regardless of gender.

@MidnighTea Sorry, but when I think of this, I'd rather be like this macho man who mistakenly got selected as a magical girl, but was still able to beat down monsters and evil with the sheer power of his MUSCLES. And yes, there's an actual manga about this, but it's not been updated in ages, and I've forgotten the title. =( AH! There it is: https://mangadex.org/title/11190/mahou-shoujo-pretty-bell

Has Karii gotten stronger? She was able to block Kaiserk, at least for a while. A cute chapter, as always, though I hope the series ends in yuri, at least between Karii and her tsundere friend.

Question for those who've read the raws,

Spoiler

does it actually have an ending or is it just a cliffhanger? And if so, was the ending decent or really rushed?

 

[ajddavid452]

@MidnighTea *uninstalls and bans app from ever installing again with the power of ROOT* I am not a magical girl, nor do I want to be one, I don't wanna fight I just want to use my computer 24/7

@ajddavid452 First of all, I apologize. I didn't mean to offend you and you're 100% valid.

I've been in both the online trans identity/gender-transformation fetish community (surprising amount of overlap there) for the last twenty years and I have never, word for word, heard the phrase "did you just assume my gender?!". I have heard more than once "why are you assuming I'm X ?" but that's a very different phrase since it's not calling out someone directly.

Sorry if I seem a bit bent out of shape over that but I'm frequently seeing that "did you just assume my gender?!!" thing as a way of very subtly trying to shame people for wanting to self-identify. One of those cultural jimmy bars that bad actors use where if you try to call it out, you get "it was just a joke, chill bro!". (somehow these same people don't seem to realize a joke isn't funny after being repeated literally hundreds of times. I'm not sure that one was ever meant to be funny, though, thinking about it)

Anyways, I know you were only using the phrase ironically, so I thought not to make a big deal of it. I've been trying to pick fewer (but more meaningful) battles on Mangadex. Instead I thought I'd just make a joke too to show we were on the same level. An obnoxious ironic comment, about the story's magical girl app and gender fluidity it'd allow if it was real. But I wasn't looking to upset or offend you.

Again, sorry.

 

[ajddavid452]

@MidnighTea oh uh I wasn't offended at all, sorry if the tone made it sound like that, and yes the "assume gender" thing was ironic, I heard somebody say it somewhere(said person also didn't mean it seriously) and meant it as a joke, and I didn't realize it had "very subtly trying to shame people for wanting to self-identify" connotations, and for that I'm sorry

 

[MidnighTea]

@ajddavid452 It's all good! I'm just glad I didn't upset you. And don't worry, as I said, it's kind of a minor thing. You were using it ironically. I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't directed at me to begin with. (and even then my response was making a joke back anyway)

We're cool!

 

[ajddavid452]

@MidnighTea good

Chewter is a mouthful. XD
