Does anybody know when HDWR volumes 13 & 14 will be translated and published officially (in English)? It seems to be not that popular so I can’t find anyone talking about it or when that will happen- I think last I heard the Japanese release of volume 13 has been out now for a year? Or maybe two?? But still no English version :(((

SEEKING: THE MOST BASIC ASS VANILLA YURI ROMANCE MANGA OR BOOK

I know tumblr isn't the place to go for "vanilla" but it is good for girls kissing and it's all i've got so let's do this

My List of Demands

Genre: wlw/yuri/gl/gay girl romance, any version* of sci-fi, fantasy, or realism is great

Length: something short, about 8 chapters preferred, any length up to about 15 chapters is great for manga. if recommending a book, about 800 pages max, 400 pages preferred.

Contents/Smut Level: The romance should be the central element of the book. Sex welcomed, but it should be well balanced. I know we love our toxic yuri on this site, but a generally healthy relationship is strongly preferred.

*= Love these genres, but please remember the central focus of the romance. High fantasy writers seem to reallyyy love their background context and I don't want to read 300 pages of context on The Great Elven War just to get 2 pages of side characters going at it.

Please Himejoshis and other book nerds!! Give me your suggestions!

Yuri Espoir is so good its actually mind bogling. you telling me each chapter is a two-parter and it starts a main plot, imaginary romance plot line, a one-shot of diverse genre, and then back to the main plot??? Yeah right, like that's ever gonna work. (reads first volume) IT WORKS BY G-D IT WORKS

[mokazzo]

Someone who can suggest a good yuri manga? Something mature, not a simple scholastic story. Something that goes more deep into the lesbian spectrum not just showing you how two girls fall in love for each other.

Also Korean or Chinese titles are accepted!

Thanks for the help✨

Anon who previously rec'd some yuri VNs with mystery elements providing an update because a bunch of things went on sale! -Previously mentioned Fatal Twelve is on sale -Ghostpia is an episodic/more slice of life type story but there's something of a background mystery that's being built up. Yuri is more subtext but heavy subtext.

-The Chrono Jotter. Explicitly yuri and definitely the most mystery elements. I hope something here catches your eye!

OH YEAH I GOTTA HIT THAT GHOSTPIA.

Gotta make a tag just for you so we can hit these later.

Monthly In the Garden With My Landlord, Volume 1: Surprising Charm

Based on the just the synopsis, I'd say I was curious about this series, but I don't know if I was ever fully sold by it. Because of that, I'm very glad that I ended up picking it up regardless, as there's a lot of charm and energy that this first volume brings, making it a series centering around adult romance that I think quite a few people will enjoy, and for quite a few reasons that I'd love to illuminate.

Let's start with the idea of the story. Asako Suga is a manga editor that was just dumped by her girlfriend, leaving her in an apartment full of memories and firsts that are tied to her now ex. Because of that, in a spur of the moment decision she decides to move into a house that's being rented for pennies on the dollar and seems to have nothing wrong with it. That is, until she moves in and finds out that her 19 year old Landlord, and ex-idol, is living there with her.

I think it's an idea that a lot of people could be turned off by, but here me out on it. It's actually really fun, and well executed. Asako, and Miyako (the ex-idol-now-landlord) have just the right balance of comical and shallow traits as they do deep and impactful ones.

Sure, Asako might be a sucker for a pretty face, and that might have played into sticking around. But, she's more than that. She doesn't immediately fall in love with Miyako because she's pretty, but rather she struggles to maintain an appropriate amount of distance from this young adult, largely because Miyako struggles to be an adult.

And really, that idea itself opens up the story so much.

Asako and Miyako struggle to form deep relationships with people. Asako falls under the stereotype of being suckered in by looks, and Miyako is in the position where looks is all that people care about. Neither are able to directly connect with someone and form a deep and emotional bond, not even in the romantic sense necessarily.

I mean, the manga itself addresses that as Miyako takes to calling Asako onee-san a whole bunch, which perfectly highlights their beginning relationship. Miyako relies heavily on Asako, while Asako is babying Miyako.

The idea of romantic feelings is present, don't get me wrong, but it's absolutely an undertone to the pair forming a deeper relationship that extends past superficial tendencies. Because of that, I really hope that in future volumes they struggle with the expression of those feelings and they struggle with how it changes the shape and form of their relationship.

Anyways, let me share my love for the art. It's got a very light feeling, but that doesn't diminish the feeling of it or the detail in any fashion. It's still very present and strong, but it's not not got a heavy lineweight or strong shading or lighting and whatnot. I guess you might call it "flat", but I don't really think it's a bad thing.

I think the only thing I could really complain about is the environment art, since there isn't too much of it, but that's par for the course with a lot of manga these days. What's good though is that the mangaka fills that vacancy very comfortably. Subtle screentones that fill gaps, intelligent paneling and focus, and mindful layouts that work to really fill panels and use negative space. It's not anything incredible, but it does plenty to be aware of the gaps in backgrounds.

I think most important though is their willingness to break molds. They really don't restrict their characters to the confines of panels, routinely breaking out from those lines or existing entirely separate from them, or even having them partially cut off from them.

Speaking of characters, these designs are really damn good. The level of detail and uniqueness they carry is really great, and something that I think can be very rare to see.

Just look at the smaller details, Miyako's eyes are a different shape to Asako's (which are then also different to Hatomori's, who is a supporting character). Then look at the noses and mouths as well. Asako generally has a more squared off mouth, while Miyako's is rounder. Similarly, Asako has a more prominent nose while Miyako has overall softer and rounder features, but has larger/more prominent eyes.

It's really great design language that is very rare to see in a lot of series these days.

Even better is the expressiveness of these designs though. Character acting has a prominent role in a series like this, and Yodokawa's designs work wonders in regards to that. They work great both in terms of subtle and extreme moments, which creates a really nice feel to both ends of the first volume.

Also, the design sense and posing? Absolutely sublime. Yodokawa really has considered everything about these characters. Asako tends to wear more plain and "typical" outfits, while Miyako brings more energy and style, and all of Miyako's outfits are just so pretty.

Really, there's not much of an end to how much I enjoy the various pieces of this first volume. There's so much that I'm not doubt leaving out a considerable bit of charm and quality from this post, so I really recommend people give the manga a try. It's promising to bring a much more friendly and positive adult romance story, but not without depth or emotion. The art is endlessly engaging and fun, very stylish and well utilized, and the characters are such a treat. Just read it if you can.

[daily-vocaloid-rock-metal]

Today's entry is メンヘラじゃないもん! (Menhera Janai Mon)- I'm Not a Menhera by Isana featuring Hatsune Miku and Otomachi Una.

In addition to falling under the rock genre, it also falls under pop rock, piano rock, and progressive rock. It has a BPM of 180. It also has Yamikawaki and Jirai themes, as well as some Yuri themes. It does contain some suicidal content, so watch with caution.
