Not that it's up to me to make the decision, but I don't think there's anything wrong in linking the official thing where people can pay, and letting them be responsible for finding it for free if they want to.

The story of Tara and Beverly seems like it could be cute, though maybe beware of the :nws: gallery?

Here's one of the images taken from the authors Twitter, and an example of how some thoughts are better left unsaid:

A very sudden ending but it had a pretty good run with over 100 chapters. I'm not too disappointed by it.

Really gonna miss this series, it's been one of my favourites since it started. The thing that really bothers me about this ending is how Kita-kun doesn't appear in the ending montage with all the other side characters, especially since the last chapter before the final two featured her. Feels really out of place, y'know?

What If You Could See Love? wrapped up last month and no-one mentioned it! Jerks! I know what I'm reading next.

Mage and demon queen

In a world that runs on videogame logic. Malori has a crush on the demon queen. She raids the demon queen's tower over and over again in hopes of getting a date with the queen. But at the end, she gets killed every single time. Doesn't stop her from trying again though!

The website is made to make capturing images as much as effort as possible but you get the idea. It's funny and kind of adorable.

I've read the first few chapters and now I'm sitting on it until it's finished, I really liked what I read of it though.

And yeah, Webtoons is hot garbage for making offline copies, or really reading at all. I've got 150 lines of image processing code to do it for me and it still fucks up sometimes!

I think it's one of the best LGBT comics I've ever read. Maybe it's because its western made, but all the gay and queer stuff is just up front and in the open.

Someone asked the author why people of the same gender spontaneously hit on one another without knowing if the other person is also gay or bi etc. The author responded that everyone in that comics universe was pansexual until a different preference is stated.


This stands in kind of sharp contrast to a lot of gay themed mangas that seem to be just 2 girls being good friends for 500 pages.


I wish Webtoons had a good system to sort out the LGBT comics from the other stuff. Some of them are amazing.

it's not really a western thing. there is large chunk of japanese stuff that way too in regards to being upfront and open, esp the stuff made by lgbt peeps. like look at that butch x butch anthology discussed in here. it's just that stuff like gl in japan have like a wider thing going on and a history that is sorta its own space.

for example, i would say all manwha stuff i read tends to be upfront about lgbt stuff.

I've been reading The Two Of Them Are Pretty Much Like This which also finished recently, and it also strikes me as one of the works that are the exact kind of almost-blazé (in the positive sense) about openly kissing, holding hands, cuddling naked between having sex and things like that, that I really appreciate because the ways in which people are affectionate with each other is very sweet to read about.

There does seem to have been a cultural shift in the last decade or two, with regard to these kinds of things being depicted in manga - I remember when it was a rare treat to have anything that wasn't hidden in subtext.

Thanks for that, and I'm absolutely reading it.

Like I'm not looking for explicit imagery or anything (though I don't mind it) But I really want a clear unambiguous emotional relationship that couldn't easily be misconstrued for simply a good friendship.

I'm right there with you, friend - that's the kind of romance I like reading too, but Snooze Cruise is right that there is a lot of it now, especially compared to how rare it used to be.

Take a manga like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - because of the era it's written in (started in the mid-90s, finished before 2010), the relationship between Alpha and Korone can read like a completely regular friendship, but combined with the way that robots transfer information, it can also be read as a quiet romance.
That's both sweet, as well as bittersweet, but also somewhat frustrating.

Noralities suggested the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou anime recently, so that's been on my to-do list. Is there an English manga version?

i feel like most stuff posted by me and others in this thread fits this though, check out some old posts as well.

e: like even the last "vague relationship" thing I remember being posted in here recently is ise-san and shima-san and that has an out lesbian
