That reminds me, a couple days ago Yen Press announced they're brining over Eclair, a yuri anthology. From what I've seen scanned I wouldn't call it a must-buy or anything, but it's neat in that I don't usually hear about those coming over, especially when it's not just the work of a single author.

Got the first volume of Sweet Blue Flowers, it's nice looking and has a dust cover and everything.
I'm getting very mixed emotions from reading it again though.
'Mixed' may be an understatement.

e: for awhile i wasn't 100% sure if her color work was actual watercolors or just some cool digital coloring technique or something, but seeing them all on those walls and it's all paint on paper and owns.

It's just a shame because if it weren't for the wishy washy ending Aoi Hana would probably be my favourite manga of all time.

Yea... Was there some specific reason it ended so half-assed? With how smoothly most of it progresses it almost feels like the ending arc got fed through a paper shredder to condense it by a couple chapters.

Nothing concrete but both of the manga she was working on at the time got wrapped up very suddenly so it's possible they got dropped by the publishers. Or she just sucks at endings.

Yeah, I felt like it never really went anywhere with some of the side characters, and I also feel like either an ending where they stay broken up or one where they stayed together without the awkward break-up and suddenly getting back together years later would have been preferable to what we ended up getting. Like, I understand that we can infer short girl (I forget their names) came to grips with her feelings and sexual orientation over time, culminating with her jealousy at seeing tall girl with someone else, but it all happened too fast.

That being said, I really liked how "un-cliche" the characters felt relative to other LGBT manga characters. Stuff like the relatively shy character who looks up to her love interest also being taller and more experienced in love/relationships is pretty unique and uncommon.

I love Fumi (the tall one) so much.


She keeps drawing them being all cute together, i hope she does a followup manga or something even if it's just a one-shot at Comiket or whatever. :pray:

It's not that it's just that it's super long running and like, a fair number of chapters aren't labeled in a sense making way iirc. Like the next one after that latest one came out in 2014?

They're mostly in order on Dynasty except for like one of the not numbered chapters in volume 3 is out of order. Gonna assume the new one being put in at the end of volume 2 makes sense but I dunno.

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