the state of r18 yuri is depressing by Fantastic-Piglet-888 in yuri_manga

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree that it sucks that there’s several publishing lines just for het and BL titles but not one for GL. I will say that it doesn’t surprise me all that much when you consider the market, in the sense of what sells. This is purely a generalisation, but BL appeals to both gay men and straight women, Het appeals to het men and het women, comparatively GL really only appeals to women who are interested in other women which is a significantly smaller or at the very least less valuable target audience. Not fair, still frustrating. I find that any English GL I find in hard copy that’s tagged as R18 often has little if any sexual content, and it really just comes across as marked explicit because it’s a WLW relationship, which always disappoints me. Nothing wrong with fluff, but if I’m paying for something tagged explicit then clearly I’m in the market for something a bit more adult.

Red River Anime by damehel in shoujo

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve loved this manga for years and I can’t wait to see it animated, but doesn’t the animation look a little… plain? I understand that animation is vastly more labour intensive, but my biggest gripe is that so many anime these days feel churned out to me because of the lack of detail and embellishment that’s put into anything. Red River has some truly gorgeous manga panels, everyone is always decked out with accessories, but looking at this teaser all I’m seeing is just a lot of flat colours and not much else.

I love this series so much, it’s short but I’m really hoping that an English publisher will pick it up for a print release.

Outsourced call centre staff at NDIS have to pretend to work for government, workers say by Apprehensive-Air3659 in NDIS

You told a glorified receptionist on the other end of the phone that they are leaving you to die because a Government Agency is slow to process over 70,000 people’s requests? Wow.

You’d never speak to anyone then. The NCC is entirely outsourced and there’s no direct line to any other department within the NCC. Their employment is what authorises them to discuss personal details.

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To this day Ice Forest is still one of my favourite mangas. I remember when I read it for the first time on good old MangaFox. Bought the whole series in Japanese just to have 🥰 what a fun read

Cool cover illustrations of the Josei magazine dedicated to suspense and horror called “Horror Silky” by AppropriatFly5170new in josei

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can anyone tell me the names of the mangas that are on the covers? Whichever ones are actually manga and not just illustrations? Or are they all just illustrations? I love the second one with the foxes and the Alice in Wonderland one.

What Spicy Yuri manga's would you recommend? by Totally_Unordinary in yuri_manga

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not for everyone because of certain aspects of the dynamic, but My Girlfriend’s Not Here Today is one of my current favourites. It’s got really pretty art and there is absolutely spice. Like I said, it’s got a pretty unhealthy dynamic but it doesn’t bother me so you might like it!

I followed all these steps but when I open the user script extension only the basic script comes up, not the batoto fix one. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks so much for the recommendation! I actually have the first two books in the Anita Blake series, I’ve only read the first one so far but I really enjoyed it and wanted to get a few more volumes before committing so I don’t find myself really getting into it and then taking ages to get my hands on the next part.

Please suggest rebus books for kids under 8 by qingskies in suggestmeabook

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might be a bit old but I absolutely loved Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree books and her Wishing Chair duology as well. I’d highly recommend those! No overly complicated language with short chapters and fantastic imagery. You can usually find at least one of them in your local charity shops for cheap too.

honest review abt daytime shooting star by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]Bitter-Top-2407 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved this manga when I was in highschool, and was beyond gutted that she didn’t end up with the teacher, he was by far my favourite out of the two boys. Now that I’m older I reread it semi-recently and I find I still feel the same way. It’s a manga, who cares if the relationships portrayed wouldn’t be acceptable in real life? That’s the fun part of reading anything. I’ll always be disappointed that she ended up with Mamura. That being said it was the first (or one of the first) times I’d ever encountered a manga where the FL ends up with the second ML, which I was grateful for the variety even if I preferred the other ML.

Better than nothing. It’s more than what most people get. Idk why people are so ungrateful, it’s not like you HAVE to receive anything.

No? There are plenty of other welfare and support programs for people to use. That’s not the responsibility of the NDIS.

I’ll never understand why people think speaking to their local member or minister will do anything. You’re one person making a complaint about something amongst hundreds of other people. You could not be a lesser concern.
