Oh hype, I hadn't seen that Garupia Pico 2 was this season, thanks! Looking forward to chibi RAS.

Revue Starlight is getting a compilation film this summer, I may not list that since it's nothing new. Some time later it'll get a whole new movie.

Corona-chan surely doesn't like the fact that we weebs could inherent ZA WARUDO after eveyone else of the remaining Homo sapiens has been wiped out by Corona-chan. Ganbare Corona-chan!

Because we're the evolved form Homo nipponamoris Timz0r et al. 2020 n. also know as the 'weeaboo human'. It's not like we we experienced (self) isolation before it was cool or anything and had a better advantage all a long, hpmh!

What? What or who's the holotype you might ask? I haven't figured that one out yet, but I'm tempting to pull a Carl Linnaeus for the epic lulz. :-P

Houkago Teibou Nisshi looks like my thing. It appears to have a calm atmosphere (even because it is about fishing) and has a tanned loli with a fang, probably I will watch.

Thank you :)



Well there was this one time at the old place when I caught a snake in the backyard and animal abuse ensued (the bathtub looked like that because there was a serious dampness problem, was glad to move out in 2015 for many reasons) actually that must have been the second time I caught a snake there, first time was 2005-ish. No snakes on hand at the moment, my coworker had four but sold them all.

I did not know the teacher had nerd braids, I like! IMO they look a LOT better than IM@S Ritsuko's (Ritsuko updo always please). (Big controversy in Azur Lane right now with a nerd-turned-gyaru character whom fans think looks too much like the girl in the Emergence meme doujin)

posting in a dead thread.

the Fishing Girls show is really good. A worthy rival for Slow Loop if there ever was one. Very comfy vibes and lots of fun tho I won't lie, fish are fucking gross and I don't like touching them either.

Baseball Girls show suffers from some really awful art and animation but it makes up for it in content at least imo. As a Kirara franchise I'm confident they can create good and fun episodes as they already have. I like all the character and am having fun with it overall. Expect this show to be one of the hidden gems rated under 6.0 (I still love you Twin Angel Break!)

Jashin-chan Season 2 has been really fun right from the get-go. I'm enjoying it more than Season 1. I feel like the show has already established its characters so it feels more free to do whatever it wants and create some funny scenarios without being limited to a formulaic adherence to certain gags. Also they get meta a lot.

Gal-gaku, turns out its a 3 minute short with terrible voice acting. I'll still watch it but it's a shame that it won't actually be the Aikatsu/PriPara clone that I was kinda expecting. At least we have Mewkledreamy for the kids show department. That one hit it out of the park with its first ep but yeah boys are way too prominent to ever get it featured in this club.

Other non-CGDCT shows:

Gal & Dinosaur, first half of the eps aren't bad, 2nd half of the eps are wtf tier. I feel like I'm having one of those experiences with this show where it's just so weird that I have to see what they do next. Not sure if I like it or not yet.

Kakushigoto is one that people seem to really like but I honestly find it kinda boring. Not really sure what I'm missing here, I guess it's just not for me.

Princess Connect is stupid fun. The epitome of a "turn your brain off" type of show. I have no serious complaints about it but I definitely wouldn't enjoy it as much if it wasn't in the simulwatch.

Aikatsu on Parade Noelle ONA spinoff - Dear God Yes! I never knew how much I needed this. it's amazing. I LOVE YOU NOELLE-CHAN!!!!!!!

First impressions time that I'm watching! Yay!

CGDCT shows
============

Houkago Teibou Nisshi
It's yet too early to give out prices already, but I think it's a fun CGDCT show already. Hina is a cutie, but you can perhaps say this aswell to Natsumi. The two older girls Makoto & Yuuki however; yeah, I probably going to have fun with those aswell.

Tamayomi
I don't know about this one as for now it feels like a mixed bag for me. First of all I'm not really into baseball anyway since I'm Euroean based. Here in Europe we're more into tennis & football. For you North Americans, you guys know it as "soccer". Art-style really is at certain places really off at times especially with the faces. The other assets these girls have (like muscular legs etc), well, it feels like Studio A-Cat gives it more attention. The interactions in between the charathers still is enjoyable to watch though.

Gal-gaku.: Hijiri Girls Square Gakuin
For the first episode that I've watched, well... That charather (no idea who that is) sounded more like a dude to me then a teenage girl. Also sadly a TV short. Heh, we'll see if anymore episodes get translated so I jcan judge this is good or not. But my first impression for it's first episode? Yeah, I'm not sold so far.

Mewkleddreamy
It's because of Bajar and AP that I gave this anime a go. For it's first episode that I've watched. Well, that was pretty fun so far. Look kinda forward in looking more of this! Especially for high pitched noises from Aki Toyosaki as Mew, mya!




Non CGDCT shows
================

BNA
Anime is once again saved! I know it's a meme at this point, but I honesty think BNA is so far's one of Studio Trigger better shows that I've seen so far in my opinions. I honesty want to watch more of it, but I have to wait untill mid/end May for more.

Digimon Adventure: (2020)
"Di Di Di Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the Champions!"

I remember getting up early before going to school to watch Digimon as a kid and this entry now being a modern reboot of the franchise gave me a mixed bag of anticipation. Turns out; after watching two episodes of this so far. Well, it's pretty good so far! I really try not to rely as much on nostalgia goggles while giving my opinions, but I'd say it's good show to watch for people that watched Digimon in the early 2000's and for newcomers.

Gal to Kyyouryuu
While I read previously some web manga from this, I honesty didn't expected it would get a anime adaptation in the first place. The first part is based on the web manga where I'm personally a bit dissapointed in as it feels the animated part is done in Flash or so, while the second half is live action that gives a biut more entertainment. But then again; I like some shit-posting every now and then, so yeah. *MLG airhorn intensifies*


Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen
Kaguya, President, Love detective Chika & OUR GUY Yuu Ishigami are back again! I really enjoyed the first season. Heck. I even started reading the manga after that because I wanted more. So far the first episode was again very fun. The only down part is, heh, I already know what kind of shenanigans will happen. But the adaptation so far is spot on.

Kakushigoto (TV)
Watched two episodes so far. Well, Hime is for sure a cutie. I really have a feeling this show is going to play with my parental instincts that I will never use and my emotions (that I try not to show to the world).

Nami yo Kiitekure
While the very first episode was very text heavy and the second episode was a lot more looser, I think it's an allright shoiw. Minare Koda feels like Eripiyo's (Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu) older cousin that's in a crisis. She really does feel very accurate how on average 25+ year old single woman are these days.

Princess Connect! Re:Dive
Last but not least. Coming from the creators that gave us cute horse girls, well, atleast I can admit I like the show so far after watching two episodes. Kokkoro is obviously waifu-bait and I must say a cutie, while Eustiana "Pecorine" is the 'genki' type that will carry and gives us the laughs. The cat girl Kiruya is so far my favorite however. We'll see how further it goes I guess, but for now, heh, I can say it's an allright watch.

My schedule is amazingly blank this season and I love it

Sunday
Mewkledreamy - I'd like to see the other girls, but I don't think I'm up for watching this for a whole year, even if it does get subbed.

Meanwhile,
Boruto - Now at 152 episodes, recently started adapting manga chapters again for the first time in I don't know how long. Apparently the recent mini-arc was published two years ago. Cool.


Monday
Fruits Basket - If you didn't know, the 2001 anime of this was hated by the mangaka so much that she insisted that no one who worked on or performed in it be allowed to return for the new adaptation. I thought the 2001 version was great when I saw it in 2010, and I've seen comments claiming that it improved substantially on the manga. HMMMMMMMM.


I'm still not really sold on this new manga-faithful version, but since it's adapting way beyond where the first ended, I'll stick with it through the end. (Of course it's very much possible I wouldn't like the old one as much anymore if I rewatch it)

Princess Connect - I guess I was right that this would be better simulwatched.


Tuesday 
Fishing Girls - Hey girl check out my wharf roach pixxx
https://imgur.com/a/Yew1gz5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligia_oceanica <- this kind maybe?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligia_exotica

+Bonus for Tim I added a couple of bristletail photos from the same beach (Weymouth, Dorset)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeognatha

Among extant insect taxa they are some of the most evolutionarily primitive; they appeared in the Middle Devonian period at about the same time as the arachnids. Specimens that closely resemble extant species have been found as both body and trace fossils (the latter including body imprints and trackways) in strata from the remainder of the Paleozoic Era and more recent periods.


Wednesday
Tamayomi - I'm really happy with this one so far. The most worthwhile double-watch since Sophie Twilight.


Friday
Wave, Listen to Me - oh boy it's another type 2 ._.
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5200893#5200893

^ Erika never replied to me LOL

I found the first chapter of the manga translated and then chapter 37 on, where there's some sort of bizarre situation going on involving a cult. Oh, there's an official English release, maybe that's why that chunk of chapters isn't fan-translated? (I only looked on one site though)

Railgun is alright I guess, aside from that one SAO villain.


Saturday
Gal & Dinosaur
OMG
DUDE
THE LANDLADY IN THE LIVE ACTION PART
HOOOOOOOWAAAAAAAAHHHHH

I still haven't watched Pop Team Epic.



No idea when I'll get to Jashin-chan, since it has to compete in the the back catalog arena. My reward to myself for finishing Maison Ikkoku and Future Boy Conan was to start watching Dirty Pair, and it's good, but at the same time I started rewatching "Tenchi Muyo" GXP, one of two spinoffs marketed as "Tenchi Muyo" while having a new main boy and no Tenchi (true, the use of the title does actually make sense). The other one is by far the most popular and highly rated part of the Tenchi franchise.

I find myself falling into a cycle:

1) Through the 2000's I assumed GXP was a poor attempt at recreating Tenchi Muyo (later I found out that's also its general reputation)

2) I watched it ten years ago and it was much better than I was expecting

3) Recently: maybe I just had worse taste at the time?

4) No, my taste isn't better now. I love this show.

It's (even) more vapid and pandering than Tenchi has ever been. And I seem to favor characters who draw criticism for having very little personality, whatever that says about me. I think this might be my favorite harem cast of all time. I've finally realized that Kiriko is the actual replacement for Kiyone in the OVA timeline, and I look forward to seeing more of her and the others years later in Tenchi Muyo OVA 5.

The last couple of weeks I've been in the rare state where at all times in all conditions there is one show I want to watch, and it's GXP. I'm considering giving it a 9. But I still don't think it would have been a good idea to try simulwatching it. :P

Also I started watching the one true legend so there's that I guess

good anime are plentiful this season, or, at least they were

Kakushigoto: I'll be 35 in 13 months and I will still laugh at 90% of all dick jokes, also the parts with the daughter are wonderfully wholesome at the same time somehow.

Kaguya is really really good when it lets the side characters do their thing and not the two main characters who are supposedly these perfect supergeniuses but barely show any hint of anything more than moderate genre-savviness

Aikatsu on Parade ONA: I still can't believe they actually let us follow Noel as an idol it's so wonderful even if coco is still never going to get a live.

Mewkledreamy: Oh I guess kids shows are just good now. Sure thing. Yume is already a treasure and also my spring PFP even if she likes boys for some reason.

Rebirth For You I have never given even a single 8 to a show with a MAL average under 6. Rebirth is giving this decade-long streak one of its sternest tests yet.

Peco's Pecos and the Anus Mouth of Friendship: It's not an automatic A+ but starting off with a hot girl and a precious girl is absolutely what every show should do. Kokkoro's anus mouth is cute and I will not hear any objections

Jashin s2: Like Show By Rock last season, another sequel of a show that I strongly disliked is reborn into something I greatly enjoyed somehow.

Yeah, I'm quite convinced that's Ligia oceanica that you got photographed. I've seen the critter couple times in the past aswell over here at the coast area here in the country aswell when I was there. Never knew what it really was, but at least now I know it are actually isopods. Isopods are pretty cool. Also the fact Japan really like their isopods aswell.

I'm trying to watch an episode of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA season 3 every now and then and the main thing why I don't really like it it's because

Sure, there are some new fine THICC waifu's, you gotta give that.

I haven't gotten into Jashin-chan Dropkick iether. I know I have listed the first season somewhere in my pile of Plan to Watch anime list. Who knows when I'll ever get into it.

Cool. Yeah, I love isopods. When I was little I was really into trilobites, and woodlice look like them. There are always isopods living in the stream near where I live, even in the middle of winter. Amphipods too. I did this ice elemental amphipod once: https://www.deviantart.com/andromedaroach/art/Acanthonotozomoides-Oatesi-and-Glais-422268498 I never really used watercolors the way they're supposed to be used, I need to try that again. Well, I guess I sort of did on the surface of the creature itself, with the iceberg colors.

In my aunt's garden in Devon, southwest England, I found amphipods living on/in the damp soil with the woodlice. Apparently they're invasive, but not considered much of a threat... at least as of 2003.

2016 update: "Its apparent expansion into new areas of Britain and Iceland may be facilitated by climate change." "It is possible that successive generations of A. dorrieni may have become better adapted to the British climate."

Tenchi Muyo OVA 3 is notoriously unpopular... and yet it still has a much higher MAL score than Pretty Sammy, what a shocker! :P And Kiyone fans don't like Noike. I saw a comment that it's best to watch GXP before OVA 3 because it introduces most of the added characters, except Noike. Last time I watched OVA 3 first, saw the hate and was like "Uh, I think this is alright... I guess," but I definitely liked GXP a lot more. The real dilemma ahead is rewatching Tenchi in Tokyo, I haven't touched that since 2001, I hated it so much.

That show is pretty weird but the #1 weirdest thing is how the IRL landlady was so much more attractive than the anime landlady, how is that even possible? Too bad it seems like all routes probably lead to her doom.

I think I might be alright with watching all of Mewkledreamy after all, especially if it was one episode every month for four years (I wish that pace was a thing more, it was so good with Today's Menu for the Emiya Family)

Oh, I totally missed the first episode of Garupa Pico. Wow, a shubi in Bang Dream, how about that.



This sure is different from starting the previous Garupa Pico while not knowing anything about anyone except PasuPare.

Seeing articles about Otome Game over the months, due to mental incapacity I think I went through the same reaction three different times, which was "Is that like The Flower of Yuri Blooms in the Other World: After Her Engagement is Broken, the Villainess Has Fun Living with a Girl?" (scroll to bottom) and then "Oh, seems it's probably like that one reverse harem I watched because of Go Sakabe, guess I'll keep my distance for now." And then I noticed the general consensus and caught up on it and yeah. Actually so far it seems more like the former than the latter



It's also immune to covid-19, so that's nice.

Villainess has been not so hot the past couple of episodes, found out after watching that both were anime-original. I hope this is a done deal for a season 2 like Slime was. Slime 2 is even more of a hard pass from me than Kaguya 2.

Timz0r said:
Recently (Februari - March) watched Love Love Sunshine S1, S2 and the movie and it was in overall enjoyable. Yeah, they feel a bit similair as in design to the OG Love Live idol group µ's, but they are differnt for sure. You would get very fast why salty AP doesn't like it, zura. ;-(

My Top 3 Love Live Sunshine girls:

* You Watanabe
* Yoshiko "Yohane" Tsushima (I think you'll like her aswell for sure)
* Hanamaru Kunikida

Ruby Kurosawa is also very cute. Watch it nao.

Yoshiko was brought up when Bajar was trying to sell me on Sunshine two or three years ago, before I watched the first series. What even is the next catalog CGDCT I'm supposed to watch, anyway? Rolling Girls? Y'know what, first I think I'd rather pick back up this harem show I dropped at one episode in 2009. https://myanimelist.net/anime/1722/Nagasarete_Airantou AP 4/10 2011

Oh right, I was supposed to watch Shin Jashin first. Kaaaaay

Oooooooh, I'd forgotten that right after Monogatari Second Season is the big Suruga feature, I've been watching Second Season for 627 days and I have 1.5 episodes left, I'd better hurry up and finish so I can get to Suruga, LOVE HER

I don't even like Yoshiko but she is the closest thing that Sunshine has to a Nico.

Although Mari's English nonsense ranks highly as a meme as well.

Nagasarete Airantou is great. I was surprised to see a ton of comments on it on VRV, turns out some YouTuber pushed it a few months back so now me watching it looks like I'm following that crowd. Oh well, at least the zoomers seem to like it.

At work I finished watching Genocyber, which was pretty fun. I liked how the story took place over a century, though it didn't do much of value with that. It has one of the best expository title cards I've ever seen:

Dynamic Lapis Re Lights Girl Rankings


So Lapis Re Lights has a lot of characters. It seems that the most important characters will be these ones who appear in this specific shot of the OP



Let's rank them. Except I'm not gonna rank all of them and I'm also gonna rank some girls who are not in this shot. This is a dynamic ranking so you can expect a lot of change as the season continues and the 19 girls shown above get disproportionate amounts of focus at the expense of background girls. Oh also I'll probably not actually keep this up for the whole season because laziness and also I'm not taking it that seriously.

RANK # 1

Yue


This is quite an easy choice. Yue is clearly the best girl. The Queen of the academy. She is the Layla Hamilton of this show and you should respect her. Some plebian Lapis like Tiara should not even have the right to look at such a superior Noir like Yue. All hail Yue.

RANK # 1.1 and 1.2

Yue's Friends

The 2 other girls in Yue's unit. They are Noirs and have the respect and trust of Yue so they must be good. They are kinda boring tho so I won't bother to include a picture.

RANK # 2

Ashley


She is tall and beautiful. Definitely a sekushii type of idol. She reminds me of Ran from Aikatsu. Despite her appearance she is actually super pure and she is the only one oblivious to the lesbian sex implications in this scene

Also I just realized in that screenshot you can see a little bit of skin between the skirt and socks there. Man gotta give her another boost for that. Truly the best wife of this show.

RANK # 3

This girl who got hit by the ball in dodgeball



lol she got hit by the ball.

RANK # 4

This girl who got slapped in the head


lol she got slapped in the head.

RANK # 5

This girl who sneezed while trying to shoot a crossbow


lol she sneezed while trying to shoot a crossbow.

RANK # 6

This girl who got attacked by a book


lol she got attacked by a book.

RANK # 7

This girl who A_P will like


A_P has not yet seen the first episode of Lapis Re Lights at the time I am writing this post. Maybe this screenshot can change his mind.

RANK # 8

Clusmy Twintail Friend of A_P Girl


Holy shit she's cute and she's such a clumsy dork.

RANK # 9

The third girl in the A_P Unit


She looks like a shy girl and judging by the chalkboard she wears around her neck I'm guessing she doesn't talk. Man this unit is just gonna be the best. They are all Lapis rank so they are probably all idiots and the scene with them doing the science experiment in ep 1 was already one of the funniest parts. Can't wait for more from them.



RANK # 10

Sleepy Girl


look at her hair lol.

RANK # 11

Sleepy Girl's Partner


They seem like good friends.



RANK # 12

This Spunky Short Girl


The standout girl from the other Noir unit.


Am I sensing some neko attributes? Yes please!

RANK # 12.1 and 12.2

Other Girls from that 2nd Noir Unit

They don't seem very interesting so not worthy of a picture.

RANK # 13

Rosetta


A sweet little lady who fulfills her guide duties admirably. Unfortunately I have to deduct her points for being aware of the concept of lesbian sex but she is embarrassed by the concept so she will not be punished as harshly as some other girls on this list.



RANK # 14 and 14.1 and 14.2

The Other Rouge Unit Girls


Controversial opinion but maybe this show would have been fine with only 16 characters instead of 19. Nice maple leaves tho.

RANK # 15

Lavie


Sorry I had to deduct her many points for being aware of lesbian sex and teasing the idea to Rosetta. On the bright side she did hit that other girl with the dodgeball which was pretty hilarious. Also Denpa likes her and those tails look pretty fluffy.

RANK # 16

Background Twintail Girl


Damn that's some good hair.

RANK # 17

Background Twintail Girl Mk. 2


Damn that's some more good hair.

RANK # 18

Background Twintail Girl Mk. 3


Damn even more good hair.

RANK # 19

Lynette


She's a hopelessly irredeemable pervert who probably knows how 2 girls can have sex without having to Google it.

RANK # 20

Tiara


Apologies for being harsh little young lady but it is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for you to wear a skirt of this length on the grounds of our prestigious academy. If I EVER see you wearing a skirt extending past your upper thigh again then you will be IMMEDIATELY EXPELLED!

let's review each character's ep 2 appearance and adjust our rankings accordingly.

Ashley

she protecc



she attac



but also she swim




Lavie

the face of a girl who just realized she has boobs


she also has some other faces


I will have to deduct some points for not behaving in class


but she'll gain those points back with this faceplant


stuck the landing perfectly!


Lynette

she did some cool magic and got turned on by a book. Didn't really stand out too much to me. She's not really my type. +2 points for this fail tho



Tiara

nice faceplant


nice hoverboarding


+5 points for some good fails


Rosetta

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SKIRT LENGTH!?!?!?!? GODDAMNIT GIRL!!!!


Kids, this is what will happen to you if you violate your school's skirt length policy


-1000 points


Lucifer and Angelica

they appeared briefly and each had a line but it wasn't really anything funny or interesting so -5 points



Ratura

Yes please


Note: Ratura will not be penalizd for long skirt because she did not wear the skirt on campus so she did not violate dress code. Also the cleavage bonus cancels out the long skirt penalty anyway


Ratura's Homies

they cute



+ a lot of points


Emilia

it looks like she's sleeping the background here. lol


+2 points


Yue (& Crew)

dat ass tho


+1,000,000 points

Lynette is no doubt my favorite of the main bunch. Not very fond of her hair colour though, but her nerdyness and cuteness makes up for it.

Nerdy anime girls ftw.

I'm glad you like her because I'm a bit worried she might become a bit of "the other girl" for me. It seems to me like Lavie and Ashley are the knuckleheads and ofc Rosetta and Tiara is like the main relationship of the show (until Tiara X Yue eventually happens). So what role does that leave for Lynne? Hopefully they can write her some good parts still, it would suck if your favourite gets neglected.

The thing is; most of the time these kind of girls do indeed get neclected in some form or another, but I'm already used to that sadly with so many other shows that I've seen. It's a bit wierd I always get drawn to these kind of girls first. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm the one that notice them first when others don't. JUSTICE!

But it's allright; best girl (usually) never wins anyway.

Wins what, sex with Yue?



We both tend to like the bookish types as well as kuuderes. I guess your favoring Mars over Mercury is an exception, but as I've said before elsewhere, to me Sailor Moon has the cast most difficult to pick a favorite girl from. (I also initially had trouble with Monogatari, but on reflection it's very obviously Suruga)

Lol Bang Dream EN, how pathetically non-exploitative or otherwise merely a failure

Finished Nagasarete Airantou, the last few episodes were less fun, still a good show overall. After that the obvious thing to do was start Ai Yori Aoshi. I didn't know that show had a tanned loli, that's a pleasant bonus as long as she's not too annoying. I still can't remember the name of the show for more than an hour or two, unlike Nagasarete Airantou which was bizarrely easy to memorize.

Crunchyroll is now simulcasting Healin' Good Precure, starting at episode 13 because they don't have 1-12 yet (they will later). On CR, the usual righteous zero-piracy people are mad that a company which started as a fansub piracy site would offer a simulcast that only prior pirates can take advantage of. With that I decided it's now time to start watching the original show which has been in my CR queue since 2015, but oh wait, turns out the audio on their masters sounds like it was ripped from a VHS tape. (So yeah I'm pirating that)

Originally I was hesitant to watch it because it only has two girls, until I heard here that it was like DBZ. Also them being bookish science bishoujo and hot short-haired lacrosse-playing tomboy (contrast failed attempt Uzaki) is probably preferable over either KiraKira or HeartCatch (at least until the later HeartCatch characters I didn't get to). I wish I'd started here instead of following the popular recommendation to start with HeartCatch. HeartCatch seems a lot closer to KiraKira than to this, which surprises me given KiraKira's reputation as a standout traitor to the brand.

wow all that money for Princess Connect. I don't want to watch a season 2 but it's inevitable I guess.

the best way to get into precure is always with the current season, whichever season that happens to be at the time.

downloading precure or aikatsu rips in the west is not piracy. Nobody owns the rights so you are not stealing from anyone.

I wonder what the source on that money for gacha games are. I wanna know how much money Mahjong Soul or Toji no Miko makes but I don't really know how to look it up or if that would even be publicly available to know.

Not when the current season was Kirakira. :P

People will actually argue that if a manga or anime doesn't have an official English release, then the only reasonable ethical choices are to buy it and learn Japanese, or avoid it entirely.

This manga author would rather people never read her manga at all than read a fan translation that doesn't pay her money. Also it seems she doesn't like it if fan translators get any donations as thanks for their work.
