I've been following this and liked it. I'm glad it kinda leaves it ambiguous on if she'll go to jail or not, since there isn't really any evidence she could use to prove herself guilty.

A confession's enough with Japan's legal system.

I did a whole episode of the Retronauts podcast about Ranma 1/2 games and talked a little about how Ranma is definitely problematic at times but also hugely important to a lot of queer weebs :toot: Massively progressive but not perfect!

oh my gosh i remember playing a translated snes game ages ago. I really need to find that again!


And Bones of an Invisible Person's ending is definitely bittersweet since you just know that someone saying they'll be waiting for her to get out is just an empty promise, especially since they are just kids. Both of them'll grow and change in the intervening years and they only knew each other for less than a year, yeah?

Found this Yuri manga set in what looks like a Meiji-era millitary academy, of all places. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel or how the story *wants* me to feel about its setting, but the art's pretty nice and there's enough interesting dynamics going on for me to at least keep my eye on it.

Almost certainly. On the other hand, if she landed a decent defense attorney maybe she'd get leniency based on the probability for reform? :shrug:

So it's like Swap<->Swap but gay and het at the same time, and kinda dark.

I feel like I'm going to hate it by Ch.10, but it's intriguing enough to follow for now.

While it seems like this could turn into a trainwreck later, I'm enjoying this for now. Compared to most other body swapping stories, it seems like the two protagonists desperately want to be in each other's bodies, which adds an interesting dynamic to the plot. When Hina actually finds out how much stronger Ren is in chapter 3 was an enjoyable read.

I kinda read it as they hate that they're in each other bodies because it means they can't "really" be with the person they want to be.

Got the new volume of Yuri Is My Job today - it's not quite as good as volume 3 but it's still pretty strong. Sumika and Kanoko become yet another Romantic Side Couple That's Way More Compelling Than The Leads - and I like the leads pretty well. Curious to see what the next volume'll bring now that all four of our MCs have had a pretty firm introductory arc.

I'm reading volume 3 and boy are all of these girls messes, Kanoko especially.

Guess its meant to imply the two have a close relationship despite the dad's terror at her little monster of a daughter, and that he sometimes makes bad decisions regarding her? She did seem to look up to him when she was younger at least, based on the flashback - and instead of talking about how morally wrong trying to drown a boy was, he taught her about physics, so there's the 'bad decisions' part explained as well.

finally a new josei manga worth reading

Ii ne! Hikaru Genji-kun
Even though this is a story from the recent past…a man who suddenly appeared in my room seems to be “Hikaru Genji.” Yes, the one from the Heian period, the insanely popular young nobleman who is the main character of “Genji Monogatari.”
At first I thought he was a suspicious guy in cosplay, but after I had bashed him over the head with a metal bat, I decided to watch over him for a little bit. Soon he became like a parasite, and if he weren’t so elegant and shy…
Everyday life has become fun. He started posting waka and such on Twitter, and soon he had lots of followers.
That guy really likes women. But he hasn’t laid a finger on me. Oh! But it’s not as if I want him to!
Well, I really don’t know why, but it seems as if a gorgeous NEET has come to live with me…?

Well I think they were leaning into the psychopathy thing in that she literally doesn't empathize with people so he took that route because he recognized that a moral argument would fail. That and the reason why he tried to teach her moral behavior by treating it like a game. Anyway, yeah I know it's just they have a good relationship, I just feel like you should keep sharp objects away from the woman that you genuinely fear might murder someone.

his reaction to finding her trying to murder a boy was to explain the physics behind it. he probably doesn't cope well with terror, is all.
