Reposting from previous:

I'm importing a few TokaHaru doujinshi (and there are a couple with scans that have never been used), some lewd, some not. Would anyone be interested in translating them?

Hey, translator Onee-sama, the clean part is ready, I hope you're good at editing because I erased some sfx. http://www.mediafire.com/download/enm1k906k4fzmyy

>>1965918
Sorry I'm not into this pairing but if a translator is okay I can still edit it.

Could anyone please tell me which chapter to read after watching the anime? I watched it a while back and want to get back into it.

>>1966222
Chapter 1?
The manga is still behind the anime.

Has anyone bought the official English release of the manga? I'm wondering if it's worth picking up.

>>1966296
I got volume 1, it's a better translation than the fan one obviously.
Volume 2 is out in a few days I believe.

>>1966187
I can edit myself (and I wouldn't wish my iffy quality scanning ability on anyone else). Do need a translator though.

>>1966299
Any suggestions on where I can order a copy? Preferably something other than Amazon since the last time I ordered something from there it cost way too much. Guess that's what I get for living in Australia.

>>1967003
I don't know anything about Australia but they're not hard to find in comic stores or big book chains like Barnes & Nobel

Man. While I really love this series to death, I really don't like Tokaku. Maybe it's because I've only seen the anime and read none of the manga, but she literally feels like a female Sasuke Uchiha to me. Please don't kill me onee-samas.

On that note, I'm still upset that the anime almost zero shipping content for any pairings other than tokaharu and chitahitsu. The fuck, yo.

>>1967035
Did you watch the anime in a language you don't understand or something? That's the only explanation I can think for you getting that dumb of a read on her character.

>>1973197
No, nowhere in the manga nor the anime ever implied that they were dying.

>>1973224
Hanabusa might be dead after that drop.

>>1973231
The manga's not going to go in a different direction.

>>1973233

How the plot should've been if it was finished before the anime?

>>1969099
Looks like the artist likes crack ships as well. Hope to get more from Seven Seas.

>>1973224
I hope it's just a lie given by Meichi to hide their death, I would prefer a bad ending and lots of fanarts drawn by Minakata-sensei.

>>1973307
What do you mean more from 7 Seas? They'll just give us exactly what's in the JP tank.

>>1973640
I doubt that will happen. The whole appeal of AnR is shipping the girls together and hoping that they hook up eventually, so characters dying would put a huge damper on that.

>>1973690
I agree. I just hope they give a little more details in the manga regarding their relationships.

No, it's not fair to claim that they degayed characters because all of these gay tidbits in the manga happened after the anime was made.

You can say the manga upgayed them.

>>1978441
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/small_riddle_of_the_devil#19

>>1978446
They made the anime after asking the author and artist. Also the first chapters were already gayer than the anime and they were released before the anime aired too

>>1978446
Not really. Kouga Yun had already written up to the Haruki arc when the anime started.

>>1978469
I wouldn't say that. The manga itself was relatively tame until after the anime aired.

I think the tipping point was when Minakata posted that Haruki / Isuke hand kissing picture on twitter. I think it was around that time they realized how much people actually liked the shipping in the show and you can clearly see the later chapters upping the character relationship antics.

Why it took two industry veterans so long to realize that is beyond me. Or maybe they were just working under the rules by the magazine and the studio and they needed the fanart response as backup before they can go to their editor and say HEY LETS MAKE THIS GAYER

>>1973738
Chitaru and Hitsugi were pretty gay in the anime, Onee-sama. ESPECIALLY the OVA

Did anyone ever get their hands on this? Half of it is a Nio/Yuri story by that one artist (see cover art).

>>1973701
>or Isuke saying she like blue collar workers
Was that a reference to Harkuki?

>>1979218
*Haruki

>>1978911
Nah, gotta disagree with you. Hitsugi came into Chitaru from the beginning, plus Sumireko asking Mahiru for tea and Isuke being glum about Haruki's departure were all early on. There was always focus on the roommates in the manga.

>>1978967
Yeah them too. I always seem to forget about Chitaru/Hitsugi.
On the other hand Isuke/Haruki and Sumireko/Mahiru were pretty straight in the anime, or at least didn't show any singn they were interested in each other. There was zero gay interaction between them

>>1979223
Yes, because in the anime Haruki works (in the end as shown) as a blue collar worker.
Plus Isuke probably meant blue collar worker as the physical strength in someone.

I always wanted to think that she got to like that type after meeting Haruki

>>1978911
The manga had "Shoujo Ai" tag since the beggining. It was the anime that cut a lot of the scenes from the manga.
It doesn't mean they were planning to make only Haru/Tokaku official

In technical terms the only thing that would count for interaction related in anime/manga was probably the Drama CD's.

>>1979296
>Isuke/Haruki
Aren't they like the most popular though?

>>1979324
I think by pixiv count, Tokaku and Haru are still the most popular. It's hard for most nips to shake off the main character syndrome.

After that, yea, it's Team Sexy by a pretty huge margin.

One of the reasons we got less yuri in the anime is probably because there was only 12 episodes, too short. The following is from those Q&As from the anime:

>"There were a number of scenes in the manga where Hanabusa-san seems to show that she liked Banba-san that weren’t in the anime. I wanted to see more of their relationship!"
>"There’re only so many eps we can do in the anime, so while it’s sad we couldn’t show more, please look forward to the BD extra drama CD where we can show you more about those two! (blatant advertisement)"

>>1979354
Well I meant in the English speaking fandom. I like that the Japanese actually like the main characters in things. In all honesty I think English speaking fans are just being contrary half the time in their preferences.

>>1979309
The drama CDs were based off of manga scenes, onee-sama.

>>1979367
That, plus the anime seemed more interested in marketing to the otaku waifu crowd and action crowd than yuri fans. They could've made more room for character interaction if they really tried, but they put all their resources towards making the fights longer.

>>1979402
>plus the anime seemed more interested in marketing to the otaku waifu crowd and action crowd than yuri fans.

I don't see any evidence for that.
Don't go chasing boogeymen

>>1979384
Imo Tokaharu was too underdevelopped to be the main pairing, if they were better written, then maybe I would like them more. Their dynamic is fine for a side pairing, but not for the main one.

>>1979405
Not him, but they did keep the yuri to a minimum and had a "monster of the week" format

So yeah, he's not wrong about the focusing more on action part

>>1979405
It's... extremely obvious, though. Just look at the OVA. I thought it was hilarious, but it was almost all tits and ass with no yuri. And nearly every episode in the anime had the assassin attempt extended at the cost of character interaction.

>>1979409
Your opinions aren't facts. Just because there's more action and they didn't have time for all the little yuri moments the manga does doesn't mean they were "pandering to waifufags over yuri fans."

>OVA
>all tits and ass
In a beach/island episode? Shocking.

>with no yuri
You're dumb.

>all bickering over dumb opinions
>no one wants to help me track down Nio/Yuri doujinshi so I can import and scan them
You people are the worst

>>1979407
I don't really see how it's underdeveloped. Uninteresting compared to the other couples, maybe, but that's not the same thing as underdeveloped.

>>1979412
It's okay, Onee-sama. We will find them eventually.

>>1979411
But why do you think they chose to make a bikiniservice OVA instead of say, something that actually focused on the couples? Because of the way they marketed the show. I don't see why you're getting so defensive about this.

And Isuke raping Kouko doesn't really make it a yuri-centric OVA, no.

>>1979354
If you go at Fanfiction where the majority is not Japanese, you'll see most stories are about Haruki/Isuke and then Sumireko/Mahiru and Otoya/Shiena.
Tokaku and Haru are pretty low.

>>1979405
The anime did not want to be labeled as yuri. It is obvious. There were some little details that have been removed from the manga, that would only last for 4-5 extra seconds and would make way bigger difference regarding the characters and pairings.

For example when Haruki left, Isuke looked back at her empty desk and thought "idiot" to herself.
They completely cut off that, but they still chose to add Isuke's liking older men in the anime. In the manga she didn't say she liked older men this way.

>>1979413
Uniteresting is the best way to describe it. It was ok in my opinion, but the rest of the pairings were better.

>>1979412
Well you didn't ask. Unless you did, \i don't usually come here.

>>1979424
If they'd kept up the momentum of the first few episodes it would have been a lot better, but after I think like episode 3 they had barely any decent couple-y interaction.

>>1979421
That chapter came out after the anime started airing and Isuke did say she liked older guys in the manga, you can obviously see where she got that from given her background.

The manga really wasnt that yuri early on. Just your standard goggle series outside of Hitsugi and Chitaru.

It sucks that the anime cut a bunch of char interactions, but the anime's "success" in the fanart community is kind what prompted the much heavier subtext in the manga later on.

>>1979421
>The anime did not want to be labeled as yuri. It is obvious.
That's your interpretation.

>There were some little details that have been removed from the manga, that would only last for 4-5 extra seconds
Adaptations are made starting with nothing and then choosing what to include. Nothing was "removed." Thinking otherwise like this seems to be a very common mentality among passive consumers, but is a very flawed one.

It's definitely fair to say they didn't think it was important to spend the time on those extra details, and sure, shame on them. But interpreting it as deliberately avoiding yuri or "not wanting to be labelled" makes you sound like a colossal moron with a persecution complex when the whole series has obvious yuri couples and anime just isn't made in such a banal way. "No way, that's too lesbian, cut that!"

>>1979451
Not that anon, but I don't doubt they avoided some of the yuri. Unfortunatelly yuri is not very popular, so by making the AnR anime more of an action series than a yuri one, they tried to make it sell more.

>>1979458
I see that the traditional delusional refrain has been upgraded from "yuri is unpopular" to "adding yuri to other content makes it less popular." Obviously that explains why Horizon, which was faithfully adapted from LN which also had the yuri couple, bombed so hard instead of getting a second season with fans still clamoring for a third. Symphogear, naturally, sold like shit because they didn't reign in the yuri content enough. Now I see!

>by making the AnR anime more of an action series than a yuri one
What world do you live in? AnR isn't a "yuri series" in either the manga or the anime. It's an action series about an assassin school with a homo side couple and a pair of protagonists who at most hold holds.

>>1979463
I don't see "full" yuri animes being popular and selling a lot, like Aoi Hana, Strawberry panic, Sakura Trick, Sasameki Koto, Yuri Kuma.

>>1979465
I'm actually very grateful to Funimation for categorizing it as such, because it is without doubt a "/u/ anime" and for anyone who's looking for yuri in anime it would be a shame to miss it. But between "action series with yuri" and "yuri series with action" it's pretty obvious which AnR is. There are plenty of manga examples of the latter if you want to compare.

And if you were going to take Funimation's category tag as the Word of God on what genre AnR belongs to anyway, then that alone makes the "anime avoided yuri" argument fall squarely on its face.

>>1979468
There's never been a high-selling (or possibly any?) "full" BL anime either, but surely you're not going to tell me that BL isn't popular either in Japan or the West.

Why yuri anime are so few and far between, and why the ones we have didn't sell well (plenty of people will just jump in for any given one and say "because it sucked") are beyond me. I don't have all the answers. But you can't look at the low sales of a couple of yuri anime in isolation and write off the entire genre as unpopular. Unpopular among prolific anime producers? Sure, I guess, and again, who knows why.

And I'm still here waiting for a good person (not lazy) to encode the last to episodes in BR.

>>1965695
Whatever. I wish there was a sequel in spirit of more cooperative amongst the characters and less attempted murders. I dont even care if it is a SoL collage days.

>>1979473
No one is saying that nobody likes yuri. Yuri anime, specifically, doesn't sell because anime in general appeals only to a very niche market, which in general is not interested in any yuri that goes beyond plausible deniability subtext. That is no reflection on the popularity of yuri manga or yuri doujin works, which is likely the exact reason why there is such a gap between the yuri content in the AnR manga and anime.

>>1979445
>and Isuke did say she liked older guys in the manga
Didn't she just say blue collar worker and it was a subtle hint at Haruki?

>>1979445
>just your standard googles series

Kouga Yun literally conceived it as a GL series.

>>1979565
You're talking about a different scene. Isuke mentioned older men during her introduction, after Haruki left, she made the comment about blue collar laborer during the play.

I don't particularly mind this detail. Everyone has their preferences, but they often end up fall for someone else anyway,

>>1979577
Doesnt mean anything when she doesn't show it in the actual series. I still believe that outside of the main pair, the only actual romantic pair she originally intended to have was Hitsugi and Chitaru, but seeing the receptions for the other characters, they upped the subtext, especially for team sexy since I'm not sure she quite realized how much chemistry they had originally.

>>1979584
>they upped the subtext, especially for team sexy since I'm not sure she quite realized how much chemistry they had originally.
This doesn't make any sense, though, because all of their interaction happened before the anime. Haruki disappeared from the manga at the same time the anime started airing.

>>1979584
It's common for writers to go in a slightly different direction from where they were going in the beginning, because characters kind of take on a life of their own. I think it was a manga series with yuri in it to begin with. I also, think that some characters developed a bit differently from the way they were originally slated to be.

Isuke and Haruki had some amusing banters but they wouldnt been seen as couple material by anyone without goggles. Isuke's monologue about pink (which is Isuke's color motif) really suiting Haruki and her line about blue collar workers both happened after the anime started airing and they were clearly meant to show, at minimal, that Isuke was interested in Haruki as more than just a roommate she tolerated. That's way different than the whole Isuke trying to treat Haruki like a gopher and Haruki sarcastically obeying dynamic they had before.

While on the topic of Haruki, I still want to express my utter dismay that she got cheated out of winning the whole thing by Haru's titanium neck.

Everyone else's failures had come as the results of plot induced stupidity and improbable, but still possible coincidences.

Haruki literally had her garrote on a teenage girl's neck with enough strength to lift her, and somehow Haru survived. What explanation was even there for this nonsense. Don't even try to argue about the material makeup of the strings because that shit was thin yet strong enough to pull down the overhead light sets.

>>1979635
If Haru is able to say the words "Haruki-san," then the wire can't be that tight. Afterwords, Haruki says herself that she didn't have it in her to kill anyone, even for her family, hence the backup plan. So I don't think it's unreasonable at all. Hell, it's probably one of the most reasonable things that goes on during the assassination attempts with clear character motivation behind it.

>>1979636

Manga is read from right to left. She says Haruki and then the next panel her feet are coming off the ground, that should have been instant death right there.

>>1979641
Having all your weight suspended by your neck doesn't kill a person instantly, and as a teenage fluffball with a few metal ribs, Haru probably doesn't weigh much. Unless you're saying the wire should be cutting into her arteries, which is apparently not the case since afterwards she wasn't so much as bleeding.

With respect to the material pulling down the lighting, the manga shows it basically just popping the bolts out.

>>1979644

Which is why it's nonsensical. We know Haruki tried and we know the strings arent fucking cotton candy. It should have been an instant kill but lesbian magic nope.

>>1979646
I dunno. To me it's not unbelievable at all that Haruki is simply using a wire meant for strangling, not cutting. I don't recall it ever being shown to cut anything. The lack of marks on Haru's neck doesn't say to me "wow plot armor Haru surviving something she shouldn't have" but rather that the author and artist forgot/didn't care about the obvious signs of trauma she should have.

>>1979648

Wires that thin and durable should have pieced flesh, period

>>1979646
Especially with how strong we know Haruki is, the garrote should've sliced clean through to her spinal chord. There is absolutely no way this doesn't kill Haru besides protagonist immortality.

>>1979648
>Haruki is simply using a wire meant for strangling, not cutting
Is this a thing in real life? Are there garrotes meant to strangle and others meant to cut? If that exists, then it would be a decent explanation.

>>1979624
But all the interaction Isuke and Haruki had was build up to that scene. It's not like it came out of nowhere.

Plus that chapter came out just before Haruki's anime episode, didn't it?

I really don't think there was as dramatic a shift as you're claiming.

In the manga I kinda like the part where it became implied that Shiena had a slight interest in Chitaru leading her getting shot by Kirigaya.

This month's chapter has a Yuri and Nio flashback.

It's possibly the most /u/ thing to come out of this series so far besides Hitsugi and Chitaru. Sasuga Kouga Yun.

>>1980518
>Isuke bringing blue color worker Haruki food for work when

The doujin that the OP's image is from has that, funny enough.

Isuke and Haruki did have the best interactions in the manga anyway. Their conversations were funny, their seemingly hostile first meeting quickly turned into a somewhat friendly relationship, and pretty much any attempts at further argument/fights were quickly dispelled because it always became very clear that they shared the same core beliefs deep down.

Also Isuke is a turbobitch and seeing her putting up with someone is amusing enough by itself.

>>1980526
It's winding down to the ending. I think Kaga might be taking her time so that it lasts a little longer.
I don't mind, personally. It's better than the ending being rushed.

>>1980529

I like to think that, at the end of the manga, we'll get some nice fanservice of these two together. Like Isuke visiting Haruki or something. Instead of just Isuke chilling on a beach and Haruki working her ass off in some shitter construction site.

Still mad we didn't get more out of this "doujin"

>>1980527
I generally like how their personalities complement each other. With Isuke being the arrogant bitch and Haruki the relaxed tomboy.

>>1980546
Obviously she's saving enough money to support her wife, becuase Isuke's daddy wouldn't grant his daughter's hand in marriage to somebody unable to pay for her to lounge around on the beach all day.

>>1980548

I would be very content with a scene of Haruki waking up in the morning while Isuke is still in bed next to her.

Both with sex hair, of course.

Suzu was in love with a man all of her life anyway. She and Kouko can't even be a headcanon

>>1981902
I don't think there's anything wrong with having feelings for someone you loved (100 years ago). Suzu showed interest in Kouko which shows willingness to move on.

They still are the most boring couple though.

>>1981902
But he died many years ago, maybe Suzu started liking girls too along the way.

I don't see a point in denying Isuke liking older guys. She probably got it after spending her time with two dads, but it is what it is

It's not like it suddenly diminishes her relationship with Haruki

>>1982674
I'm not in that camp. I'm just not sure how to read the context. I'd be okay if she meant she was attracted to them, but the fact that she seemed to take personal offense makes me think she was sticking up for her dads, who are probably in that age range.

It looks curly because she uses braids, even straight hair can be shaped to be curly by the ends. And since Otoya cut the braids, the upper part looks straight.

New chapter is out. Nio is absolutely vicious this chapter.

>>1990107
Minakata accidentally drew her Remilia in that panel instead of Nio

New chapter ripped and uploaded https://www.mediafire.com/?f7kd6fkrklw38j8

It looks like this is missing page 8.

>>1990131
>>1990207
Page 9, rather. My mistake. That page where Nio is talking to the Kuzunoha tattoo artist.

>>1990207
>>1990221
Oh thanks! Was missing cover page too. Uploaded on same link.

>>1990244
Thank you, Onee-sama!

>>1989903
This is not Shiena for sure. Plus her hair are brown, not silver/white.

>>1990107
Nio needs a visit to a dentist.

Anyone plan on getting anything from the coming event?
Would anyone know how to get anything? There are at least two I'd buy and scan if anyone knows how I might acquire them.

>>1990696
If you know the details of where the event is and the titles of/who's selling the books you want, you could use Otakurepublic or another buying service and request them. They'll let you know whether it's possible for them to get anything from the event ahead of time. It's not exactly cheap (but not outlandishly expensive), if they can do it. I don't have experience with any such services besides Otakurepublic.

or
https://doujinrepublic.com/bulletinboard/list.html

Otherwise, if the artists put them on Toranoana/Melonbooks, you can order from there (if Melonbooks and not R-18, then they ship internationally) or more likely use a proxy service. Can give you recommendations if you're not familiar.

Or, wait for them to show up used on suruga-ya.

Which ones are you interested in?

I was looking at these three. I'm unfamiliar with these services, but I understand the basic idea of proxy buying. That would presume that these end up on melon or tora, though, like you said.

>>1990878
Looks like some of the books from previous events were indeed put up on Tora, but it depends on the artist. Your first and third entries are by artists who I think will probably list them for mail order if they have extras, dunno about the second.

Still no idea if any, and if so which buying service could fill a request from Kyoto (I've only ever requested Comiket pickups), but it's worth a shot.

>>1991299
Well, I just contacted Otaku and Doujin Republic. We'll see if they can get them. If not, let's hope they show up on tora, and I'll use a proxy.
Thanks for all the help, Onee-sama.

>>1991299
Yeah. it looks like they are unable to attend an event in Kyoto to pick them up. Here's hoping one or two show up for mail order.

Is that from the upcoming event?

>>1991807
Nope, looks like just an artwork. Aimitsu's book for the event is Nio/Yuri.

I'm reading the English release for the first time. It's better than the scanlations, but this is still riddled with translation errors. Was Seven Seas even trying? How did this take 10 months to release?

>>1992405
b/c publishing bullshit. probably should've spent more time tl'ing and qc'ing

Anyone have predictions for how Kouga Yun is going to end this? Will Chairwoman Yuri be the last boos? Or will it be the same as the anime?

>>1993345
It will end with a Haruki/Isuke sex scene with a bonus/epilogue of a timeskip to Tokaku and Haru getting married.

>>1993353
Tis but a dream.

>>1993356
If that's a dream, I don't want to wake up.

>>1993379
I wonder how Kouga feels about Haruki/Isuke. Minakata loves them together.

>>1993382
Dunno. Doubt if she minds them. She DID put them in the same room.

>>1993382
>>1993383
Kouga confirmed Haruki/Isuke as canon on Twitter almost two years ago.

>>1993384
Awesome.

>>1991807
>>1991815
What event?

>>1993384
Source? I only know that he author confirmed Sumireko having romantic feelings for Banba.

Someone posted this relationship chart on Twitter. Kouga Yun personally responded, laughing about how it was totally accurate, though she added that she maybe wouldn't include Mahiru -> Sumireko.

>>1995021
Nice. I'm happy about Haruki/Isuke being confirmed, but I admit I'm surprised they were confirmed as mutual but not Mahiru/Sumireko.

>>1995024
Mahiru -> Sumireko not being a thing doesn't surprise me so much because Mahiru's whole deal is that she's supposed to be empty on the inside. I doubt she's capable of feelings for anyone.

Still, it feels like Kouga Yun may have gone back on her original intention there in more recent times, since Mahiru/Sumireko was pushed really heavily over the past year.

>>1995026
That's true. Do you know what the text says between Haruki/Isuke, Tokaku/Haru and so on?

>>1995029
Between Haruki/Isuke, Tokaku/Haru, Hitsugi/Chitaru, and Mahiru/Sumireko it says "Likes." From most of the girls to Haru it says "Wants to kill." Nio's says "Forever alone."

>>1995031
I assume "likes" in all cases is supposed to mean in a romantic way? Since we at least know Hitsugi/Chitaru is romantic and Sumireko has a crush on Mahiru.

>>1995035
Yeah, "suki" is an ambiguous word in Japanese but in this case it's clearly meant to mean romantically.
