Aki★Eda started playing card games!

This series is off to a good start and is doing a decent job of explaining what's going on in the card battles to people like me who have never touched a CCG.

Also thanks to this being posted in the chat thread I discovered that Aki Eda has done an absolute ton of yuri Touhou dojinshi. :v:

To clarify: yes. Probably back when _I_ played MtG (in the 1990s), since this is what we called it back then. The late 1990s is indeed "ever", and it is indeed "before".

Yes, I am being pedantic. Guess what, complaining that a term a scanlator uses for a fictionalized version of MtG is wrong is you being pedantic first.

Anyway, on topic: it's hard to say from two chapters, but personally I don't have high hopes for this comic vs. Bonnouji. Pseudo-naked middle schooler, shounen-sports-battle scenes... not doing it for me.

Read a few first chapters of some things that may or may not be worth following:

Suki ni Naranai yo, Senpai
Girl falls for a gentle art club "prince" and decides to attend the same high school. Turns out he's actually a sleaze, whoops!

Hapira Hajimaru
Well-meaning girl screws up scary classmate's living situation so he moves into the guest house on her family's property. Turns out he's tragic and hardworking instead of being a delinquent, whoops!

Douse Mou Nigerarenai
Unemployed woman dreams of being an office lady but misses her chance, and meanwhile she interviews for a temp job and her boss is a lazy jerk. Turns out he's more successful than he seems, whoops!

Toremorotora
High-school girl is a huge fan of some band and attends their show with her boyfriend, where she meets the sexy lead singer. Turns out he's her ultra-dull homeroom teacher, whoops!

Itsuka no Seishun
Regular high school girl living in a small town goes to class on the first day of school and sees a guy who she thinks is her homeroom teacher. Turns out he's 25 and attending high school as her classmate, whoops!

Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet
Poor high-schooler gets kicked out of her house thanks to dad's debts and takes a job as a live-in housekeeper for a writer. Turns out neither of them is what the other expected, whoops!

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

Dunno there isn't a lot to judge by yet other than their very standard shoujo premises which can probably eliminate some of them right off the bat. Most of them only have one chapter translated. I think the one with the live-in housekeeper might be cute and I'll probably keep reading the office lady josei one at least.

"Permission" has been a commonly used term for well over a decade, so I don't know why you're saying nobody uses it. Permission is a subset of control which focuses on counterspells, control can cover other strategies like board control, land destruction, discard, etc.

Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet! is drawn by the same person who did Hirunaka no Ryuusei, so if you didn't like/care about the latter, then you probably won't care for Tsubaki. It's super new, but I'm already kind of seeing the same dynamics and tropes... (love triangle with one girl and two guys, one older, one younger...)

Hirunaka no Ryuusei

Yeah I was actually planning on reading that to see if I liked it, since it's complete although the comments have totally spoiled who she ends up with. Love triangle plots are not really my favorite thing in the world but if the characters aren't completely obnoxious I don't mind so much, and it helps when the art is nice.

^Cool yo; thanks for sharing! Those starry eyes :swoon:

Here's a fluffy oneshot, Hanabatake no iberico. (Yep, iberico like the fancy Spanish pig.)

I like the clean, simple art of this recent shoujo, Yuugure Light. Only two chapters, but interesting enough so far - it has a jaded main protagonist, but not completely unlikeable, I feel.

At this point, I just want to make my own shoujo manga, where the two romantic leads are both decent people with normal social skills who try to treat each other well and aren't both super dumb. Oh, and relatively close in age or, at least, both over the age of consent and no weird power relationship (e.g. teacher/pupil). It would probably be the most boring manga ever. I guess I can add like a couple of tanukis or something.

I'd read it. But in terms of actual shoujo, I'd say ReRe Hello would fit the bill of sensible romantic leads. The guy starts off as somewhat demanding due to his rich kid status, but he quickly shapes up. It's pretty cute!

The last chapter of Mukuro Chandelier was released. It's a weird/funny little comic about a necromancer and his ghoul helper. What little plot there is doesn't always make a whole lot of sense but it was fun and I'm a little sad it's finally complete. There's a lot of corpse dismemberment but it isn't like detailed gore or or anything, most of it is fairly simple and stylized.
