Himegoto is how you do problematic melodrama right, because like... the characters are actually interesting lol.

Adachi and Shimamura, a popular Yuri LN, is getting TL'd on Dynasty. I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Both of the protags being, like, soft delinquent is a dynamic I haven't really seen before.

wow, i guess our tastes aren't as universally the same as i thought anyway it's super depressing (much more than something like himegoto) but also really cathartic and good e; yeah that's the one bit that felt kind of contrived to me and I didn't care for cuz I thought the whole bit of her getting over her extremely lovely ex and learning to live happily on her own was great. it drives character development for the protagonists but I think she could have accomplished the same thing for her characters without that.

Someone finally posted the extra after 4 years so I re-read Itsuka Tomodachi ja Nakunaru to Shite mo and it's still good. I'm hoping more of this artist's stuff gets translated since she's got a neat style and draws really good old men (same person did the manga I linked a few posts back)

webtoon roundup some BL webtoons I've run across recently -- I'm not going to pull up links because  but would suggest reading the legit version if you are able, not all of them have an official English translation though so you'll have to find them wherever you read stuff. Dear Door A police officer gets pulled into a supernatural war because he's a "door" i.e. his body is a portal that lets demons enter the normal world (or something I'm not sure it's been 100% explained yet). Some NC since the whole "door" process is happening against his will. MC is very badass despite being a mortal fighting demons. Fate Makes No Mistakes This one just started so the plot is still sort of mysterious, but a normal guy is possessed by a ghost and gets mixed up with reapers and goblins after he was supposed to die and a goblin intervenes. The art is really nice (largely why I started reading it to begin with) and there seems to be some intrigue or factions in conflict on the supernatural side of things. The goblins use sex as a transaction for food/energy and possibly other types of magic so this one will probably be pretty lewd FYI. A Thousand Cranes On his way home after work Craig accidentally witnesses a mob hit and sees the hitman. They track him down but instead of killing him he ends up dating the hitman This one has been surprisingly sweet, the hitman (Dean) has the whole "reluctant killer" thing going on where he was born into the life and wants out, plus there's gangster power struggle plot happening all around them. For Your Love After watching his older brother suffer through an unrequited love Yohan swears off all that love poo poo, but notices an older classmate pining after another boy and decides to get involved so that guy's love doesn't end up the way his brother's did. Basically he's a huge busybody and gets all up in this guy's business but starts to realize there's more to being in love than he thought. The facial expressions and attitudes of the characters really make this one -- I was howling at some of the panels, and it's got enough angst to be more than just a romcom. Yohan is a dumbass but he's also a really good guy who is easy to root for Midnightmare Another supernatural one, I have really no idea what is going on in this one yet. There are different factions of supernatural creatures (night hags and lamias and maybe some other stuff, idk???) and the MC, Grey, is a cambion who is half night hag. He's got a crush on Ethan, a salaryman who is a regular at the cafe Grey works at; Grey enters his dreams at night (because that's what night hags do) but he doesn't feed off Ethan just checks on him and tucks him in There's some kind of conflict between the hags and the lamias but nothing has been fully explained yet -- tbh I'm just here for the art on this one right now because it is gorgeous. Broken Season This one is a drama; the MCs start out as childhood friends then become lovers in college, then there's a time skip to 10 years later (I don't want to plot spoil this one too much tbh). Everyone is sort of angsty and has baggage but it hasn't been terribly soap-ish so far -- all the characters' motivations have made sense and none of them are blatantly villainous which was nice since there is a love triangle and it would have been easy to make the 3rd person nasty but they are all pretty sympathetic. If you're tired of fluff this one is a good change.

since 1-nen a gumi no monster is technically a romance manga and I want to talk about it...  Banri is completely out of her mind, and I really wonder if Jimi was sexually assaulted by a woman at some point, possibly a student or teacher, also possibly that he then killed? Throwing up when a girl kisses you is kind of an extreme reaction that suggests something along those lines...

My guess is a girl from his previous school hit on him but he didn't reciprocate, so she committed suicide. However rumours got out that he murdered her because she rejected his advances or something.

Everything than he was by Momo kissing him.

I'd been avoiding Yuri Is My Job for a little bit because the premise sounded like it might have been a bit of a mean-spirited takedown sort of piece, but the first two volumes wound up being a real delight to binge. Kinda reminds me a bit of Useless Princesse, but with wider extremes of comedy and drama. Real good at both ends, though. No fan TL, but the licensed translations seem to be coming out at a good clip, so that's nice.

No fan TL, but the licensed translations seem to be coming out at a good clip, so that's nice. There are fan TLs of the first two chapters under the JP title, Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto Desu! but it looks like both scanlation groups that worked on it have dropped it at this point. It's enough to give you an idea of what it's like if you're on the fence, anyway. I've enjoyed what I've read of it so far, but unfortunately my copy of Volume 2 is still stuck in Amazon shipping purgatory.

Terry van Feleday posted:I tracked this down and I ended up really liking it, thank you. Weirdly, the ambiguous line between the characters' real and performative selves made it read like a story about pro wrestling, only instead of punching each other they're just pretending to be really posh The protagonist is also just kind of a lightly awful dumbass, though she's slowly getting better. I'd characterize the series as being about at least two characters with staggeringly low emotional intelligence even by romcom(dram?) standards.

Goddamn, I am reading that Living With my Brother's Wife series and it's very good and powerful and stuff. And I love that chapter 46 is one of the most directly fan-antagonistic chapters of pretty much anything I can think of. The author might as well be sitting there going "you. Yes, you. I see you there, shipping my characters.  " it's hilarious.
