I haven't kept up with it but it's in the same wheelhouse as other manga I've read where it isn't amazing, but I can appreciate the author's shared interests and making something that's just expressing that.

When you have niche interests sometimes that's what you've got to do!

There's a lot of things that are kinda subpar but I read them anyways because they're the best I've got.

I mean I recognized it because in the first chapter of Spy x Family I had to translate "by the author of I Spy" on the title page.

what kind of parent alerts every news station in the tristate area instead of just going to the principal and saying 'hey this doesnt feel like its appropriate for kids?'

I mean, the paranoid/policing assholes aside, responsible parents should probably know what their kids are reading so they can provide context to their kids if need be.

at the same time i think its important and healthy for kids to have stuff they do or enjoy that their parents just dont know about and have no context for whatsoever

like most of us got into anime for exactly that reason when we were kids, because we wanted that

lol, a manga about a guy being led into crossdressing by an online friend of his is getting scanlated... but only the pixiv previews, not the actual manga. And the pixiv previews don't have the crossdressing element actually appear in them until like 10 chapters in. And the scanlators changed the title from 'Reality Sometimes Tells Lies' to 'Hanging Out With a Gamer Girl.'

So naturally with a title like that it got tons of views, but now the crossdressing thing is in every preview, so now everyone's mad that this manga that has always actually been about crossdressing suddenly has crossdressing in it, when they thought it was a random het romance gamer girl thing. And a bunch of other language scanlation groups are also picking it up... but the pixiv previews, not the actual manga. And even the original scanlators, after being informed they were only translating previews, are still going ahead with translating the previews.

The whole thing's a mess.

I'm reading that one. So what's getting scanlated was only the previews? I was wondering why it was only five pages.

Yeah. If you look, the title of the mangadex page has actually been updated to reflect it's only the previews.

Talking about stuff with a gamer friend is the actual title on the pixiv series so I can get them doing that, buuuuut, I don't know how you miss the melonbooks link to the full manga in the description of the first one, not to mention the multiple times the previews end with 'buy this at comiket!' pages

Crossdressing is cool and good, but lmao at that title change, what even

No seriously though, what?? Didn’t realize that some people just... make up entirely new titles instead of translating what’s there.

to be fair, I’d expect bad titles like that to come more from publishers instead of scanlation groups

e: oh it’s the actual title on Pixiv? That makes it slightly better at least, but yikes at the rest.

Oh wait it’s just gamer friend in the original instead of “gamer girl”, my point still stands :colbert:

anyways "those are just the previews" isn't the full story about this either, it's legitimately a webmanga. ch 1, 11, and 28 are comiket samples and are labeled as such in the title., but most of them are just short because its a webmanga on pixiv/twitter.

As long as it's still about two gaming dorks hanging out it's all fine and it being about crossdressing as well shouldn't matter.

I mean the plot for this is basically a 1:1 for a bunch of gay manga, it just (assumedly) doesn't end with them getting hosed in a park bathroom
