I'm starting to think the images weren't released in chronological order. This last one is the ex promising to wait by Hachiko's statue.

>>4430005To the premiere of Zenkowa killer.
>>4430005The greatest ZenKowa foreshadow ever.
>>4430005Kuwabara's starting a new manga. It's about a girl who ends up doing pet play with her ex-girlfriend, since the ex broke her heart in the past, most likely by accident or some misunderstanding. The ex comes across as a dumbass and it's advertised as a romantic comedy.
>>4430011>Final Crisis>many crises have happened since thenI hate false advertising!
>>4430008tbf, all we know about the series is that it will be a teen romantic comedy about revenge, and whether the pet play will be actual or metaphorical is still unclear. However, a headcanon based on a single image and the author's ancient tweets has already been created, so there will be reasons to sulk in the future.
>>4430014The manga is literally called "Bad Dog Girlfriend". And there's an image of the girl in front of a dog statue along with the same girl naked and being told she'll get a treat if she follows the other girl's commands. Plus, her necklace is basically her collar as a certain panel also focused on that detail.
>>4430016Kuwabara has actually written quite a few comedy oneshots. ZenKowa's actually the odd one.
Okay, experts, what could FORESHADOW the fact that at first, in the promotional materials, one girl was pulling another by the tie and the leash and collar appeared later?

>>4430179Just check the translation thread if you don't believe it?
>>4430206Slimes don't have sexes.
Well, Kuwabara's new manga is out. I've honestly lost interest now that I know what it's really about. Turns out the translation was meant to be "rejected" not "dumped".
MC used to be a nerd and confessed to a girl and got brutally shut down. Years later, MC got a makeover and is super hot now. She bumps into her old crush who now likes her because she's now hot. Old crush acts like she's in love. But it turns out that the old crush is a huge slut who sleeps with any hot girl at the drop of a hat. She has multiple sex friends, but tells MC that she has no desire for a girlfriend. Realizing her old crush is a piece of shit, she decides to seduce her and dump her as her revenge. However, when the MC pretends to also want to be a sex friend, the old crush eagerly follows her to her house and readily goes along with the petplay. The old crush is so erotic, the MC wavers. Now she's determined to tame the bad dog.
I just can't root for this pairing. The old crush is just too fickle and hateable.
>>4430214But she's basically been like this the whole Manga to some degree or another
>>4430275Oh wow this looks like unhinged lesbianism kino to me.
Cougar x woman younger than her daughter
>>4430275My guess is that the crush has some past trauma that makes her refuse to commit to a relationship. It could also be the real reason why MC got rejected in the past. In fact, the crush seemingly genuinely liking the MC at present despite refusing to commit, is likely because the crush realizes the resemblance to the MC's old self.
That said, having a potential friend group that's made up of girls who've fucked your crush would be weird af. Odds are at least one of them would also like for the crush to commit to her instead of the MC. I'm also predicting that a genuinely nice girl will eventually fall for the MC and MC will ultimately choose the slut over her.
>>4430275>I just can't root for this pairingdo you have to? i certainly don't and still enjoyed it.
>>4430308Considering the story is going to be the process of them getting together eventually with some laughs along the way, I can't say I'd be invested. Maybe the crush will be revealed to have some redeeming qualities, but at present I just find her grating.
>>4429658Does she finally win in the game?
>>4430275What I can't figure out about this series is that it seems to be full-length chapters, yet its release schedule is every 2 weeks.
How can Kuwabara release this manga so quickly, yet ZenKowa basically always has to have a mid-volume break since Kuwabara doesn't finish the chapters on time?
>>4430314Probably half chapter each two weeks like it's common nowadays. And the answer for your question is assistants, usually authors working in more than one serialization will have assistants. Kuzushiro for example has assistants.
>Menhera
>Sluts
Kuwabara seems like a trend chaser desu.
>>4430275Theories I've seen so far on the Japanese side:
1) Dog girl knows who the main character is and is just playing dumb. Possibly lampshaded by main character pointing out how weird it was that dog girl went home with someone she didn't even know the name of.
2) Dog girl played up her interactions with her sex friends, since she realized the main character was nearby to make the main character jealous, so that she'll approach her.
3) Those girls are just close friends, not sex friends. Dog girl lied to make the main character jealous.
The main observation is that dog girl reminds readers of Kudou from ZenKowa. They think she's purposely training the main character into becoming her ideal master. So they don't trust anything she says and think virtually everything she does is a calculated move.
>>4430352What if she is kudou
>>4430275This sounds insanely good
>>4430355Well, from the perspective of those with high standards, they've made muuuuch more progress in one chapter than Yoshizawa and Naoi did in 20.
>>4430361Well yeah, the premise of the series is to explore people who already had a romantic dynamic even if it was a rejection, Kurumi and Naoi are attracted to each other, maybe even in love but it wouldn't make sense for them to do dog play. This series actually already went much further than the other dog play series with Sakuragi Ren as the artist.

>>4430442Would you like the series if it ends in monogamy? Or would you prefer a curveball where the crush's sex friends become MC's sex friends too?

>>4430650don't be tsundere
>>4430650While the manga is just starting, there are two most likely routes for it to take.
1) MC succeeds in taming the bad dog and becomes her exclusive girlfriend, especially after revealing who she really is.
2) After getting to know the bad dog and her sex friends, MC starts to realize they're people with their own problems, who've resorted to this kind of detached relationship for various reasons. For this reason, MC will be the dog's #1, but they'll both date other girls as their relationships with those people ended up being meaningful to them as well. Where the label of sex friend changes to girlfriend for all of the girls. Or as another series famously said "In the harem ending, everyone gets to be happy!"
I think 1 is the most likely, but I wouldn't have an issue with 2 either.
>>4430733>1) So Semi Friends
>2)So I Won't Sleep With You For Free

>>4430275>MC used to be a nerd and confessed to a girl and got brutally shut down. Years later, MC got a makeover and is super hot nowFinally. I've been waiting for a yuri series to use this premise.
>>4430902Wasn't there the oneshot not long ago about the plain girl who years later got plastic surgery?
Problem is in many cases you'll end up with a pretty girl who still has the self-esteem of an unattractive girl. Kuwabara's new series is also currently like this. Though it seems to be pushing the MC into situations that will test her and possibly boost her confidence.
>>4430907Yes, it was by that author who only does fucked yuri.
>>4430907That oneshot was just the author's revenge porn from getting rejected in high school. Plastic surgery girl was completely indifferent to her old crush. The pretty MC needs to still have low self-esteem and be interested in the other girl or any romance plot is dead in the water.
any good non-porn Marceille/Falin doujins?
>>4430917>and be interested in the other girl or any romance plot is dead in the water.Initially, yes. But you also have stories like Black & White were one of the leads eventually realizes she has better options.
Really it depends on how redeemable of a person Kuwabara wants to make Yuuhi. The fact that she seemingly rejected Sakurako for being nerdy and timid is already a huge strike against them ever getting together. Because she's only "in love" with Sakurako's superficial looks and pretend assertiveness. Also, telling a girl you fell in love with her at first sight and are serious about her, only to later reveal that you want to make her just another one of your many sex friends is a huge blow. Yuuhi isn't subtle either. Fucking 2 different girls a day apart. And planning to fuck Sakurako (who she never even asked for her name despite supposedly being so in love with her) on the same day as the second girl. That's just plain nasty, which is why Sakurako demanded that Yuuhi take a shower.
Virtually any other girl could appear and be seen as a way more sympathetic option for Sakurako than Yuuhi.
>>4431091I know their from Shadowverse, but last I heard they were having a big argument. What was the result of that?
>>4430275They score already, that's something that Zenkowa will never do
>>4431142It's just sisterly love after all.

>>4431073>Because she's only "in love" with Sakurako's superficial looks and pretend assertiveness.There's nothing wrong with this. Good looks show she cares about her appearance and confidence shows she believes in herself.
In a slut-taming story, the slut being shameless is actually a good thing since it makes the conquest more satisfying. It's not like Sakurako is a particularly good person either. She tried to seduce her old crush solely to get revenge and is faltering because of how hot she is. They honestly seem perfect for each other. Besides, Sakurako moving on to someone better would just make for a less interesting wish fulfillment story.
>>4431151I wonder if it'll end up like Semi-Friend or the assistant artist's oneshot where the slut stops being a slut almost immediately because of how much she likes the MC. And because of Yuuhi's tepid behavior around her sex friends most of the time. I get the feeling it's going to be another traumatic experience backstory. Like how Yuuhi nervously fiddled with her necklace when she said that she didn't plan on getting a girlfriend.
>>4431151>>4431171The MC's do already have similar tendencies. Both avoid love. Sakurako avoids both physical and emotional relationships, while Yuuhi avoids emotional relationships, while seemingly using the physical relationships as a coping mechanism.
>>4430275Sounds like kino.

>>4431358I follow her for a while, but her artwork which is full of looking at 3rd person (even if in most cases the girls describe the 3rd person as another girl) is a turnoff.
>>4431364Sadly her good stuff is fanbox/fantia only.
Do we still get yuri bait stuff after hibike? (As far as i understand yuri bait is when the subtext is on the brink of transforming to maintext but in the end either is completely unacknowledged in any way or worse, surprise het- like HE.) Would there be much more backlash compared to back then?
>>4431364Seething Chigusahater.
>>4431484I don't dislike Chigusa because she draws the other POV so they complement each other, this one is jus the two girls looking at the invisible POV commenting on it.

>>4431435I wouldn't trust this generals opinion on what makes something 'yuribait'.
You have people who think Yuribait is when a ship is teased, just for the girl to be revealed to be het (Hibike/amanchu/railgun/etc), then you have people who think Yuribait just means subtext, then you have a special few autists who call stuff like G-witch yuribait despite them getting married.
The 'teasing yuri just to turn into het' is less of a thing now though, at least in anime (they still like to do it with gachas for some reason, even when adapting source material that has a primary yuri audience). What's more common nowadays is stuff like the producers getting scared that waifufags won't buy their merch so they try to damage control with 'up to interpretation' statements even though the characters are explicitly in a relationship. Then you have cases like tropical fish where the author goes out of their way to deny the yuri, or whatever was going on with Futaribeya. The mieruko-chan live action movie adaptation also added a male main character to the cast which upset people, but i'm unsure if anything het came from that

>>4431546But I'm serious. Everything is so bright and shiny I want to lower the brightness on the monitor, at least this can be corrected, unlike Teren's writing.
>>4431538It's the age of HDR yuri anime.
>>4431435>>4431509> Yuribait is when a ship is teased, just for the girl to be revealed to be het That's the definition, but it must be considered that when it's bait, it usually tends to have more intensity or be more blatant than the regular subtext.
>>then you have people who think Yuribait just means subtextJust because there are a bunch of idiots who think something is wrong doesn't make it true (like people who think SAO is a good series).
>>The 'teasing yuri just to turn into het' is less of a thing now though, at least in anime It's not something that hasn't completely disappeared, look at the stupid things they did in Yugioh GO Rush and it's a fairly recent example and you realize that the fans are retarded to say that it was a good thing (character development) even when said character enslaved a city and was willing to kill other beings to be with a guy who doesn't give a shit about her.
>>4431564>It's not something that hasn't completely disappeared, look at the stupid things they did in Yugioh GO Rush and it's a fairly recent example and you realize that the fans are retarded to say that it was a good thing (character development) even when said character enslaved a city and was willing to kill other beings to be with a guy who doesn't give a shit about her.The issue is calling what is pure your headcanon with legit yuribaiting.
>>4431435Yuribait is when a series dangles yuri looking thing infront of you as bait to make you bite, doesn't matter whether it is subtext or surprise het thing, its purpose is to make you bite
Naturally it is still happening, you rarely see backlash cos the fishermen simply got smarter so fishes now even protect them sometimes
>>4431534This has a lots of Mai-centric scenes, I hope animeonlies don't get the wrong idea from the anime, idk how they will react to THAT scene if they become Maifags after watching only the first 2 episodes.
>>4431573This is inevitable, first because this is in fact what people will get from the first episodes, second it's very likely most of what has been animated so far is from the first episodes and everything else was made just for the trailer.
>>4431573The problem of being first girl is that the other girls will run with a handicap. Even if Mai isn't actually the first girl
>>4431565>>your headcanon with legit yuribaiting.Have you even seen Yugioh GO Rush? (I don't blame you if you haven't, it's bad)
The series literally has a girl showing explicit and open attraction for another girl, accompanied by unnecessarily romantic moments and scenes that make clear something stronger than friendship (devotion and obsession), then S2 arrives and said girl shows even more obsession and devotion towards the protagonist of the previous series, while mysteriously no longer giving a shit about the other girl.
Also, if you keep insisting on headcanon, the series has 2 compilation episodes addressing the topic of the girl "getting over" the other girl and explaining in detail (by the other characters) that her obsession with the boy is good and means moving on. I'm not exaggerating, they didn't ignore that, they knew what they were doing and were proud of it.
>>4431584Sounds like something bandai would make
>>4431584Guess they were saving all the yuri in the franchise for the Sky Strikers spinoff.
>>4431584Sorry anon, but you are just doubling down when everyone else told you those interactions were never meant to be understood as romantic from the start and instead of just accepting this was the case and you were in fact wrong, you made the stereotypical move of making a whole conspiracy about it.
>>4431584Unlike the other faggot anon I'm not going to brush you off completely, that situation does suck. That being said everyone here has their own definition of what constitutes a romantic moment so if you could tell us what the scene exactly was then that would help.
>>4431602more than a situation it was the whole S1, with Yuna completely obsessed with Rovian (and his poems), let's say, she called her Rovian-sama and was completely faithful to her (they had a kind of group or something like that) even when there are doubts you have the scene when Rovian is frozen and Yuna is next to Rovian in a stupidly romantic way.
In the debut Yuna used Yuga's Deck and already knew him, but there was no hint of anything remotely romantic, it was in S2 where suddenly not only her but Asaka also turned out to be in love with Yuga, especially with Yuna being completely obsessed with him in a similar way as with Rovian initially, everything escalated to worse after that for Yuna, since her entire character revolved around being only obsessed with Yuga, to the point of manipulation and directly harming others. It's funny that the person who reacted the most rationally to Yuna's horrible manipulative acts was Zuwijo who basically tried to kill her with his sword (but was stopped)
Now, I can ignore that shit after what happened in S1 and take it as a retcon and just resent the anime, but the anime went out of its way to really focus on Yuna's feelings for Yuga, explain through other characters that it was a good thing for her (seriously), and even have a scene where Yuna officially broke up with Rovian, after she mysteriously didn't give a shit about her since S2 (I'm not exaggerating).
It's not something that only 1 or 2 people saw, but it was something completely deliberate by the anime and they made it clear that this was the case, dedicating entire episodes in case there was any doubt about it, the hetfags celebrated and praised all that shit by the way.
>>4431592That's literally what happened in the anime, and the staff was more than happy to make it clear on many occasions. How can I ignore something that the anime itself shoves in my face?
Go Rush is such a successful season that there was no continuation of the Rush saga (people waiting for yugioh 9 and even theorizing the number 9 during the series) and the last arcs had low audience ratings that GO rush fans ignored to make it clear that Ark-V and Vrains were worse series, even when GO rush dedicated half of its existence to reminding everyone how great Sevens and its characters were (seriously)
>>4431588To be fair, Bandai was the one in charge of the first version of the Yugioh game and the anime was originally made by Toei, but we're talking about Konami and these people are not far from the stupidity of Bandai.
>>4431590I've noticed that most of the Yugioh fanart is centered around the OCG and at the same time, a lot of it is yuri focused on archetypes that instead of denying yuri, embrace it completely, with only waifufags denying yuri.
>>4431629For sure it's inspires confidence when you refuse to bring up a single scene in fears people will call you retarded.
>>4431572Shiptease is not bait, that's something that even Het and Yaoi do regularly too, it's perfectly normal for a series to pose romance in one way or another and for it not to be concluded or developed, because that's not the focus of the series, not all cases are equal and it's possible to have something more conclusive or direct (like Serena kissing Ash in Pokemon XY&Z, that happened and we have to accept that)
>>4431634What scene do you want? We're talking about an anime with three seasons full of garbage that could be considered filler, with terrible pacing, that goes all out without really providing anything concrete in the plot.

Today on scrounging for yuri scraps when I really shouldn't: Time Splitters 2!
There's a level where a jester girl has to save a bunch of scantily clad maidens from zombies! That's yuri!!
>>4431543Sad they didnยดt score right there since Mai in ouffit was perfect for Renako
>>4431665So we're just going to ignore the fact that one of those has the girl marrying a man? Although I don't understand why they'd pretend there could be any yuri in there, when the robot girl was strongly paired with the killer cat.
>>4431664The blame lies partly with the fat woman who had a girlfriend and drew a parallel with our own fat girl.
>>4431668>>MC/Kurea is the strongest shipThat would be the only hope, it would help people at least remember that these existed in the first place.
>>4431534Why is Mai the main heroine?!
>>4431564>Just because there are a bunch of idiots who think something is wrong doesn't make it trueHence why i started my post with "i wouldn't trust this generals opinion" because there's a lot of spergs/shitposters
>>4431755You have to consider that there are genuinely stupid people, not just those who believe what they're told without question, but those who don't make the slightest effort to inform themselves or understand anything. It's easier for them to have other people think for them and dismiss any opinion that's even the slightest bit different.

This is why no one falla for it when you people start talking about a subtext action show being het or rejecting subtext in the name of โhigh standardsโ.
You people find something to bitch about even in maintext stories
>>4432094Nikumaru is based because he makes the usual anti yurifag incels not only seethe because of yuri but with het NTR too which is something they may hate even more. Add to it he doesn't hide under a pen name and looks like a yakuza who is also married makes them seethe extra harder. Once on /a/ they made a thread with his picture saying how all CGDCT authors look like that and got butthurt when people turned it againat them.

Out of the yuri anime (upcoming and so far) which one(s) do we anticipate getting a real chance at another season? Green manga?
>>4432213Usually S2 and further seasons are already planned before the anime airs, of course if it's super popular things can change, but realistically I don't think any of them will get S2, even green manga because the anime is likely to catch up with the manga and S2 will be too much time apart.
More important question is will the anime be green?
Please let it be Shuukura, Asumi or something good like that. Don't give me ffm-nega or shit like that.

Between ZenKowa's classroom plot finally moving forward combined with Kuwabara starting a new series, some of the Japanese fans are freaking out, thinking the series could be ending in the foreseeable future. Though I don't think it's possible for it to end with volume 5, since there's still alot of things left to resolve. So, I'd say that at minimum, there's 9 more chapters left.

>>4432937>>You said that last time, yet the videos are still on YoutubeIt's written on the title of the video.
>>4432937NTA but it's the same pattern as with Volicia #1. Both aired in theaters first, then had a limited run on YouTube, #1 then had another 1-2 limited runs and finally this year became available on YouTube for good. I expect it will be something like that again, so if you miss it and haven't saved it, you'll have to wait for the next run. This time there are more theatrical screenings than last time, and some yet to come, so it's probably going to take a while for it to return to YouTube.
Anyway, just in case, most recent versions of subs for all four:

>>4432943Thanks, I updated the files with those .ass subtitles since they are generally more compatible than .vtt subtitles, at least in my experience.

I know the visual novel is dead on arrival but please Madokami, make the anime timeline be the one.
>>4432930This is official?!
>>4432956VTT subtitles are a conversion of the .ass ones using Arc's YtSubConverter so that they work in the YouTube player (otherwise you can't do styles, signs and stuff), they are definitely not supposed to be for local playback. The .ass files are almost unstyled though, so adjust as you see fit.
Incidentally, Vapor Trail subtitles have been updated on YouTube to the latest version (restored missing signs and slightly better timing):

What's with all these new series recently?
>>4433038>Wait... we can actually make money with this yuri thing?
>>4433038Storia' had a few yuri series finish recently so if they didn't start any then they'd be cutting down on yuri.
Kadokawa, having already been the big publisher for yuri, seems to be genuinely ramping up further though, I guess because of green yuri and have few other solid sellers like koinega.
>>4433056I would say the yuri LN market exploding is probably the biggest reason, it suddenly went from irrelevant to having a lot of good sellers
>>4433038I blame green manga.

>>4433358>>4433362Sadly, there's het from their Visual Novel, but it doesn't come from the 5 guys [Spoiler]their familiars[/Spoiler] that was shown from the anime trailer but rather from the self-insert protag-kun himself. The anime is in its own separate timeline and isn't directly related from the VN (I think?) so there's a chance for KAF x RIM to happen.

>>4433366Thereโs Hikaru Midorikawa voicing a character (They havenโt said anything about his role, other than heโs there) Could be an anime version of the self insert. Reminds of how Cross Ange hid info about Tusk before it started
>>4433371Nintendo simply realized that they won't be getting any good boy points for diversity since orange retard is in the office. So they are rolling back on anything that can be seen as gay. Forced het in the next game indirectly confirms it. As well as switching to Roy as the protagonist, and sidelining Liko.
You have to be mentally ill to see yuri in pokemon and extra mentally ill to make /pol/ tier conspirancy theories about why your mental illness didn't pay off

Are 'Maria watches over us' and 'Strawberry Panic' bait or just Class S?
>>4433517Neither of those are class S, you would have to find literature from the 30s to pick class S.
>>4433519But they're both more about friendship and platonic love right? That's more class S stuff isn't it?
>>4433526Marimite is more like a response to Class S--"what if Class S but there were actual lesbians instead of them just LARPing and them marrying guys", and Strawberry Panic is more like a parody of the tropes. Both feature actual lesbian romantic relationships, though the main couple (specifically) of Marimite is honestly closer to platonic than romantic.
>>4433527Tldr marimite is a waste of time and strawberry panic is worth the time.
>>4433528Both are yuri.
>>4433533Wrong for different reasons.
>>4433517>Strawberry Panic>bait or Class SL M fucking A O
There's hardcore fucking in the anime alone, not to mention the LN is basically "I wonder who's going to be raped this chapter!" and characters who actually use the L word.
Mangaka Chisako reacting to an article about the "sisterhood" genre in films and novels, but one thing that stood out to me was that she's saying there's recently a trend to not use "yuri" for works that are intended to sell as female oriented, because over the years yuri has come to be seen as a genre term that's male oriented and otaku oriented.
>>4433570True enough. Male viewership of yuri has slowly crept up on female viewership numbers. It's either 50/50 or 60/40 now
>>4433570>>4433576Women are too busy with BL to care about yuri.
>>4433570That's one of the weirdest justifications that I've read about the "yuri to GL" thing. We all know why and where it started but it seems some people are making a entirely different assumption about it, I'm not saying isn't true but for some reason mangaka seem to be some of the most market illiterate people in Japan.
I didn't watch or read Marimite. I exclusively consume yuri afterall.
>>4433527Kinda, in truth the author took inspiration from class S literature but wasn't trying to replicate it, it was the readers of the time that called it the return of class S, however people also have to realize there was no commercial use for the word yuri back then.
>>4433570This isn't anything new, has been happening for more than a decade, it's not even specifically about the female demographic, stuff like the moon in the rainy night for example is not published as yuri work. Even Kirara will usually avoid using the word if it's not an outright romance work.
It also makes no sense why a work published in a shoujo/josei magazine would even be published as yuri, as they are very likely not going to attrack audiences that already don't buy shoujo or josei.
>>4433609>Even Kirara will usually avoid using the word if it's not an outright romance work.So they use it correctly.
I think everything with female MCโunless it's outright hetshitโshould be flagged as GL by default.
>>4433611Maybe, but this is besides the point, there is no actual standard how to use the word and it's very obvious looking at some publishers' behaviors they have no actual idea if using the word is beneficial or disadvantageous and it's up to the editor to decide. But regardless there is no working around the fact that works that feature girls romantically interested or in relationships with other girls are becoming more popular every year, so they will need a word to properly communicate what the work is about for the readers who are interested and also for those who are not interested, one of those popular web novel sites will literally put a warning on the top of the work saying it features love between women because it can be this controversial.
>>4433448Two black girls with big boobs (they are sisters) dominating a small white girl with small boobs and then getting married. They make an Oreo.
>>4433609>It also makes no sense why a work published in a shoujo/josei magazine would even be published as yuri, as they are very likely not going to attrack audiences that already don't buy shoujo or josei.It makes sense to market series in a way that makes people who would enjoy them aware of what kind of series it is. With series such as Elf to Hitotsu Yane no Shita, Pink Candy Kiss, or Last Boss Hime that are in shoujo or josei magazines, what would be a reason against calling them "yuri"?
>>4433619What's the point in accusing people of samefagging?
Even if you're right, nobody can prove you right or wrong because it's so easy to fake.
And if you're wrong, you just look like a paranoid weirdo who can't handle different opinions.
>>4433621I think it's very likely (if they are popular enough) the more dedicated yuri audience will be aware of them regardless because the contents and the description themselves is unambiguous yuri, the less dedicated yuri audience probably would not care if they are already not part of the profile of the magazine, you are very likely not convincing someone who buys kirara to buy shoujo style manga for example.
You can do both.
In the manga it's "sisterhood":

>>4433629>random molester that adds nothing to the story>left unpunishedI hate this shit so fucking much. It's in a bunch of stories and they just let the bastard go without doing anything like it's not a big deal for the women that get molested. Scum like that belong in a prison or even better under the ground but they just let them go so they will continue to do it to other women, what a shitty message they pass.
But more than anything, stop putting this disgusting shit in every series, it's like they're normalizing it and saying women have to live with it. Fuck this shit.
>>4433632If it's such a big problem it may be worse to never have any media presenting it though.
>>4433632But it's ok when women molest women.
>>4433634Yeah, I'm sure men will stop molesting women because they read it in a manga.
Don't be dumb, it's a real problem but it must be dealt with in real life, not in fictional stories. For starters, other than obviously teaching men not to behave like animals, they have to teach women to properly report these cases and not letting them slide, but currently they treat women like they must be ashamed for being molested and that's why nobody reports them. It's completely fucked up and so it is to put those scenes in yuri manga. Nobody wants to see women groped by men.
>>4433644I am just saying awareness is the first step, it's definitely not being present as anything but criminal.
>>4433648And I'm saying it's dumb to think putting it in a yuri manga is "awareness" and you can be sure that authors are not thinking about "awareness" when they come up with this shit.
>>4433650I am not talking about this manga is specific anon, but if no one communicates about this type of thing anywhere, then definitely no one is going to anything about it.
me want lesbian molestation manga
me want the molestation victim to secretly love it and get in the molestation compartment of the train on purpose every time
>>4433632>>4433662>moralfagging over 3d bullshit
>>4433632Seething schizo.
>>4433680Nta but, because that โ3d bullshitโ exists we have to suffer it in 2d. Itโs the same logic as โmore prevalence and acceptance of lesbianism = more yuriโ (if youโre not a coomerfag youโd be doing that either way, for yuri or otherwise).
>>4433632>>4433800I don't disagree with anything you said, but complaining about society on 4chan is entirely inconsequential, you're not making a difference, you're just bringing up non-yuri stuff on a yuri board.
However, just condemning male molesters or any other male-related thing in yuri manga is always reasonable and on point.
That anon who said to watch Lazarus anime should stop posting on /u/.
>>4433836But telling people to watch yugioh and pokemon is totally fine?
I think we could use more big butt focused yuri series
>>4433837At least such shows don't introduce sad lesbian backstory for a female and then get rid of the said lesbian and turn the other girl into kissing a guy now in next episode.
>>4433836You who listen to what the usual troll say should stop staying on the internet.
He does it for multiple series every seasons, he chooses some random het series and posts them on /u/ saying they're totally yuri. Learn to recognize the trolls and their patterns. How could you even think that a series like that could be yuri?
>>4433841>How could you even think that a series like that could be yuri?Becasue nothing indicated that the girl with a dead gf backstory was interested in a guy in 11 episodes so far?
>>4433839No, they just make both girls into guys.
>>4433843Shut the fuck up. Nobody cares and fuck off.
>>4433852Is that your only retort when you realise you were talking out of your ass?
>the retard will now use Lazarus to shitpost against subtext originals
I want Jason DeMarco and Watanabe dead
>>4433874Well now I started to remembering Kiznaiver shit thanks to that, no thanks, dead gf should be a dead giveaway for better yuri viewers. Now we know why they so openly showed a girl x girl kiss and romance in episode before in it seeing the result.
>>4433843So it was never yuri, but you decided to watch it anyway, and after watching a full season of something that had no yuri at all you decided to come here crying and blaming others for your retarded choices.
Did you also watch that Hashimoto Kanna doctor series because the hetfag troll said that before she was paired with a guy she had an ex girlfriend that left her for a man?
>>4433879>Did you also watch that Hashimoto Kanna doctor series because the hetfag troll said that before she was paired with a guy she had an ex girlfriend that left her for a man?So that was untrue?
>>4433879He probably watched Gridman and got upset when the male MC got with the girl he likes in the movie
>>4433882Unfair comparison, nothing in Lazarus indicated that the girl who had a gf was into the male or that the male was into the girl, but she is shown to kiss the guy in final episode preview for some unknown reason.
Hard to compare it to Grindman Muginotier retardness where we see Rikka having her moments with Yuta and Yuta actually liking her in the work and hoping for yuri there.
>>4433881You're missing the point. True or not, it's one line of text out of a 10 volumes series about a girl and a boy, you're nothing but a retard if you follow it because of that.
>>4433883Nothing in the non-yuri series you watched indicated it was yuri either but you believed it anyway. Kissing a guy in the last episode doesn't ruin the yuri because there was no yuri to begin with.
Oh really a story with a girl and a boy ended with them together, who could see this coming? It's honestly amusing how some of you just never this lesson and keep hoping for yuri in hostile places, reminds of that mentally ill anon who was obsessed with shipping girls in harem anime and then getting upset the whole story creates chemistry between the girls but it's all about giving them moments with the male MC.
Just stop. We are not in the 2000s anymore, we don't need to look at Mai Hime and pretend it's not trash.
>>4433879>she was paired with a guyYou're retarded. The guy is not a love interest for her.
>>4433881It's true that she has an ex-girlfriend. There's also zero romance with any males.
>the retard summoned the troll
>>4433902troll is apparently when you point out a show with the male MC as the face of all prerelease marketing is never intended as yuri or seeking a yuri audience
>>4433903Report and ignore, don't engage with him.
>>4433903Trolling is when you make up romance between two characters that have zero romance between them, and claim a lesbian character is straight.
>>4433903For me a troll is a person who intentionally lies about the content to make up things which didn't happen in it.
In Lazarus case no one lies here about it, but I will agree it was better to wait to see how it played out than to get my hopes up for the yuri due to single episode initially confirming it.
>>4433913Clearly not a lesbian if sheโs kissing a man
>>4433918I just don't think it even warranties getting upset about it, it's not a yuri show, it's not even creating a scenario between two girls of the show, just making a narrative about a girl who is interacting with guys, I just don't see exactly what anon was expecting it could even happen. As much stuff like shipping in yugioh like some anon previously pointed out is pure headcanon over absolute nothing that any common sense would see as romantic, at least it has two girls, so you can actually see from where the retardation is coming from.
>>4433925I'm talking about the doctor show that you yourself brought up, idiot.
>>4433927>everyone calling me out for expecting yuri in Lazarus is the same person Retard
>>4433928You're retarded.
>>4433879>that Hashimoto Kanna doctor series because the hetfag troll said that before she was paired with a guy
I wish we could get a good action yuri anime again. The last time we got one was with LycoReco.
Now that we're close to the end of the season I think we can see what's going on with this season subtext shows, with the exception of Uma Musume because I didn't even tried to watch it.
HibiMeshi have some little subtext between Kurea and Mako, and maybe other couple too, but at least this ship was acknowledged by the staff in social media.
Mono had a strong start but Ann's crush was forgotten by the show, the photo thing was also forgotten and instead we had some supernatural shit.
Zetsu Tabi had just as little subtext as HibiMeshi but this one feels more like a subtextual harem because the MC can be shipped with her blue haired friend and with the JK.
Maebashi Witches had the obssesion of one of the girls with her older friend but the strongest ship is the Yuina/fatty one.
>>4433929>still insisting everyone he disagrees with is the same person Retard
>>4433932Gundam Witch from Mercury and MagiRevo both released after Lycoris
>>4433932It will depend if Omae Gotoki anime will deliver or not, if does it will be much much better than any other.
>>4433932That's why people are latching on non-yuri action shows hoping for some yuri scraps in them.
Fuck only real anime as action goes to happen could be Murcielago but no one will ever make an anime about a lesbian serial killer getting away with everything.
>>4433935You're the same person because you're the one who brought that show up. I'm not even the guy who watched Lazarus, retard.
>>4433934You can't prove otherwise, schizo.
>>4433938You replied to multiple people retard
Stop being an schizo
>>4433933>didn't even triedYou didn't try to learn English either.
>>4433943I tried but at this point I feel that even learning enough japanese to read raws, and chinese for business, it's easiest and a better way to spend my time than trying to learn how the fuck this french/germanic/scandinavian abomination works.
So which summer anime are you actually looking forward to?
As for me, I don't really care about the yuri adaptation since it's shallow harem, but I'm curious about these two:
>Ruri no Houseki
Anons say there's subtext, and the animation and atmosphere in the trailer has potential for a comfy experience, hopefully it's enough to balance out the boredom of the subject.
>Turkey!
All girls sport anime with some drama and apparently focus on the MC defrosting her kuudere partner, not expecting anything more than subtext of course, but I'm getting good vibes.
>I don't really like yuri so I will just look at something that isn't yuri instead.
>>4434015You are pathetic.
>>4434017If it's subtext I can at least ship it, harem is just a forced self-serving mock-up of romance, it makes mefeelnothing since I don't self-insert.
>>4434022Beggars can't be choosers.
>>4434032>I don't like yuri so I will dismiss actual yuri with nonsense You feel nothing because you don't like yuri.
>>4434033At least subtext is between two girls, not a bunch of girls conveniently falling for the reader's avatar.
If you ask me, the former is closer to actual yuri than the latter.
>>4434036You should try baiting better, you just repeated the same thing with more words, stop being lazy.
>>4434036More het harems should have girls eventually end up being with each other after realizing they aren't compatible with the MC
>>4434045het harem readers when the girls move on so it won't happen
>>4434036>the reader's avatar.Unless Teren is secretly a chubby girl with low self esteem you're wrong. Renako is her own character, her relationship with Mai and Ajisai it's kinda good in my opinion and Satsuki seems to be kinda a slut? because she seems to like all the girls in her hot girls group.
>>4434036Maintext yuri will always be better than subtext. Any comments against this are nonsense
A female main character doesnโt stop being female because you donโt like her. Kill yourself
>>4434015You use harem as an excuse to ignore Watanare
But you have no excuse against Bad Girl. Fuck off and stop using subtext to push maintext hate
It's the same retard who does this every season, he can't find reasons for people to enjoy the shit he is watching so he just starts bashing actual yuri series.
>>4434043Just returned the favor.
>>4434052A semblance of yuri is preferable to amockeryofit.
>>4434053What, I never said anything against bad girl, I don't even know anything about it, I just listed the ones that looked more promising to me, which is what this was supposed to be about before anons starting throwing a fit cause I'm not interested in their favorite one.
>>4434057>I don't even know anything about itHow? We were posting about it for at least one month.
>>4434063I just occasionally skim through threads, I do remember reading some time ago that it has fairly explicit yuri but it doesn't develop or something along those lines, but I never read the manga and the trailer looked a bit mundane so it didn't pique my interest as much as the other two. I'll still watchitthough.
>>4434057>muh mockeryOnly bait like hetphonium is mockery
Fuxk off, yuri hater. Maintext>subtext. No maintext story is s mockery of yuri. This is just excuses to shitpost against yuri
Deal with it
>>4434066How funny you have excuses so the only things that โpique your interestโ are barely yuri and you dismiss real yuri not afraid to show the girls love girls and itโs not super friendship
You are a retard and hate yuri
>>4433836I knew it was shit the moment it was aimed to western scum audience.
Also...i watch like two animes at best per season lately, no way i was gonna waste my time on that, so W for me.
>>4433034Who watches this stuff?
>>4433870Same...but i wanted Watanabe dead after CB so he couldn't ruin its legacy...he did.

What was the most recent yuri anime that you marathoned?
How much money did Asumi spend to find Mai?
>>4434219I don't think those were "finding Mai" expenses anon.
>>4434221The first few were.
>>4434223Maybe the first one.
wtf reading shuukura got me giddy in bed with my legs kicking, how come it's not as big as adashima yet?
>>4434262shuukura is one of the tee tee of the zeitgeist, but adashima is literally the bible of yuri world
>>4434262I suppose it's not the easiest task, competing with something that has been THE ONLY yuri LN for a long time.
AX's schedule was released, and once again Aniplex has a concerning lack of mention of studio Shaft. Last year I (correctly) interpreted that as another Madoka delay, but one would think they had at least something to show for with Exedra's release. I'll keep an eye out in case I missed something, but I'll calibrate my expectations accordingly. I suppose they might want to save it for the big Shaft 50th in September, but at that point, there are only 3 months until "winter" which is rather close for a solid release date.
As an aside, it's kind of depressing how many BL panels there are in contrast to the total dearth of yuri (unless you count a prescreening of Bad Girl).
>>4434275>total dearth of yuriWhat, provide more context.
>>4434297What's there to fucking explain? There's a dearth of yuri. You want him to put red circles around all the places there isn't yuri?
>>4434275Iโll only believe Madoka movie 4 exists when I get the subbed BD rip
>>4434262>comparing Adashima to one of the countless "Adashima with x" knockoffs
>>4434318Actually, it's not "Adashima with," it's "Adashima without". Without the side characters who nobody cares about and don't affect the main story, without the """sci-fi""" subplot that also doesn't affect the main story in any way, without the idiotic "comedic" scenes that ruin the vibe.
>>4434262>giddy in bed with my legs kickingSame.
I still find myself thinking about volumes 5 and 6. What a masterpiece.
>>4434318Cat Adashima is better than Adashima.
>>4434322Adashima without fun.
>>4434329imagine her stuffy smelly feet after gym class, sendai got it so good
>>4434266>adashima is literally the bibleThat explains why it's so boring.

>>4434132>>No maintext story is s mockery of yuri.Not to defend the other anon, but that was published in a yuri magazine and we all know how that ended.
>>4434434What was published in a yuri magazine?
>>4434419>>4434421I don't understand why people get scared or hate AI in general, as a threat AI are like dogs that you have to keep at the point of specific commands and they tend to fail more than they are useful (unless you have no scruples) and as a replacement for humans, AI are trained based on information made by humans, that's why the narrative of an AI is terrible, it goes around in circles, gives importance to nonsense or directly loses the point of an erotic story to insert forced drama.
>>4434435It was "yuri danshi", I forgot to put it in the post, my keyboard is stupidly hard.
I think there are more silly titles that were sold or offered as yuri without really being so, remember that manga on YouTube that ended with a sequel novel that was literally Het harem?
>>4434437I am not the anon you were talking, but those two stories are not maintext yuri or even yuri at all, this isn't what maintext means, yuri danshi is not a yuri story, it's a yuri about yuri, which honestly actually had a nice narrative about how creepy is for guys to keep following IRL women and shipping them, the other series is not even a story about yuri, it's a het romcom about a guy and girl watching supposedly yuri couples, it was of course stupid of the publisher to promote it as yuri story, something they fixed after the backlash on the release day by immediately axing the book.

What yuri has actually made you cry?
>>4434436AI has implications in the quality of the work and in the job industry, so it's not hard to understand why some people would hate it. As for fear, it mostly comes from people who have a limited understanding of what AI is and what big tech companies constantly say to promote their AI scam often sounds ominous. There are of course places which will improve from AI but it's very likely we will also see AI being used in places where there will be no benefits.

Remember:
Here are the orgasm rates reported during sexual activity:
Lesbian women: ~86% of the time
Heterosexual women: ~65% of the time
Bisexual women: ~66% of the time
Gay men: ~89% of the time
Heterosexual men: ~95% of the time
Bisexual men: ~88% of the time
>>4434460That was a good one
Doing it alone: ~100% of the time.
>>4434597eh, that's not true. especially the older you get.

>>4434600When I start something, I see it through to the end!
>>4434466I really need to get around to playing their game, I like their character designs a ton.
Can someone tell me if it's just troon balloons that use the term sapphics? Every time I see a yuri account that uses the term it's on of those people.
>>4434638I hate that term because apparently it also includes bisluts & hetsluts pretending to gay.
Would Madoka still love Homura if Homura was fat?
>>4434638I've noticed that as well. Anything that doesn't have a hard connotation of being female like "lesbian", so stuff like "wlw" is being used by them too.
>>4434638It didn't use to be like this, though like we have seen a ton of times before, don't follow western yuri accounts.
>>4434638>>4434642Not really. There's just a venn diagram sort of thing going on. It was used historically in gay rights stuff and more modernly in stuff like western fanart/fanfiction spaces (tumblr at its height and twitter), and troons also exist in those same places.
Like how people who don't understand the internet very well think anyone frogposting must be part of the alt right, when it's just that those people frequent the same spaces and so use the things.
I wish I was better at shilling things, Volicia deserves more views than that. At least the crowdfund is working out (mostly thanks to Japanese movie-goers).
ZenKowa chapter 22 summary.
Kudou keeps manipulating the class against Naoi. Her next step is to convince Isanuma that Naoi was the mastermind behind all of her misfortune and that Kurumi was only being manipulated by Naoi. Also, that the rumor that Kurumi was dating their teacher must've been spread by Naoi (it was Mine). She also tells Isanuma that she had to quit attending school because of Naoi.
Meanwhile, Naoi's trying to act normally with Kurumi despite a flashback showing what happened at the diner last chapter. Naoi met with her mother and her mom invited her to come live with her. Her mom is also seemingly pregnant and seems to have remarried. Her mom gives Naoi her phone number and gives her time to think over her answer. Naoi goes home and it turns out that Naoi's mom put a note in their mailbox presumably informing Naoi's dad about her intention to take Naoi. Naoi and her dad get into an argument and he hits her.
Kurumi realizes that something is wrong with Naoi, but is planning to give Naoi time, so that Naoi will come to her when she's ready to talk. In the meantime, Kurumi's focused on her plan to move in with Naoi after high school and she hopes that Naoi is as committed to that idea as she is. Kurumi starts throwing herself back into her student council work. These disruptions in their time together start to cause Naoi to mentally spiral on top of everything else going on.
Eventually it gets so bad, Naoi is starting to have violent thoughts. So, she ends up texting Kudou, so that they can meet up. Kudou is super pleased.
Hopefully, Naoi doesn't do anything stupid. But given her mental state, she's likely going to start beating on Kudou to relieve stress.
>>4434647Unless you're someone with a massive following on social media, I don't think you alone are ever gonna make a difference on the view count no matter how well you shill. No offence intended.
>>4434638On a related note, I hate the western trend of giving anime girls self-harm scars. It's fucking gross.
>>4434735>It's fucking gross.And weird. I'm surprised that this wasn't a thing in the 2000s when that shit became the latest fad among teenagers and that instead became a thing in fucking 2025
>>4434638It used to just be synonymous with lesbian since they had basically associated roots, "Sappho" of "Lesbos." A lot of the older terms and euphemisms basically came about because there were actual penalties in a lot of places for being openly gay so to communicate they basically invented a lot of various terminology. What you're looking at is basic language drift. Bisexual used to also encompass what are now called nonbinary and non-gender conforming people, for example, before it just became about sexual attraction.
But you're getting at it, a lot of modern lexicon is basically trying to stretch lesbianism which is why every lesbian space has the "why won't women talk to me on dating apps/ask me about my genitals" discourse every fucking month.
I never finished the light novels, did anyone in Marimite actually end up together or was it bait trash the whole way through?
>>4434787Someone ended up with a man.
>>4434788The gay brother? Fucking hell, should be a class action lawsuit. Glad I never bothered to finish it
>>4434790It was never promoted as yuri, actually those novels are so old there wasn't anything published as yuri yet
>>4434788How vague and non-specific.
>>4434792Sis the light novels ended in 2012, not 1970. For reference Yuri Shimai was established in 2003 and Comic Yuri Hime was 2005, Strawberry Panic came out in 2006. Konno explicitly embraced the yuri term in interviews etc and clearly had plenty of time and the advantage of other existing groundbreaking works in the genre to quit the baiting and at least imply an official romantic relationship between a few of the girls
>>4434787The point of the novels is that lesbianism is a phase and women are meant to be with men.
>>4434799That doesn't explain Sei
As usual, anti-Marimite schizos prove they've never read a single page of it.
>>4434801To be fair, why waste time on something else when they can read yuri.
>>4434801Because nothing is better than 14 years of subtext that never goes anywhere
>>4434797Anon, it ended in 2012 because it had 37 volumes and ran for 14 years, embracing a word doesn't reflect her work which do feature lesbians and never outright said romance between women is a phase either, but it definitely wasn't sold with the premise you would eventually see romance between women either.
>>4434805It's good subtext, better than a lot of maintext crap nowadays.
>>4434808Yes, marimitefags hate yuri.
>>4434808The actual character writing was great but as a "yuri" series it's aged really poorly IMO. More than a decade of subtext that doesn't even culminate in a wink-wink suggestion of an official romantic relationship is a bad look. But as they say Marimite walked so that Yagakimi could run.

I heard the asobi asobase manga turned yuri, is that true?
>>4434837It's half true, the manga changed focus to other girls at some point and they are very gay for each other, then the manga ended and the author started a sequel with the gay girls (which is currently on hiatus before anyone asks). Also the girl who Kusumi is in love with and who she believed to be a trap was a actually an bio engineered life form without genitals.
Should I finish Utena just to say I finished it? Itโs hard because how the fuck are people saying this is Yuri? Utena, at least in the first episode, is CLEARLY lusting over some man from her past.
>>4434850So was Yuzu in Citrus.
>>4434850I'm not your mom, do whatever you want.
Utena is yuri.
>>4434850Just watch the movie
>>4434857You don't deserve the movie if you skip the show.
>>4434850It's not the kind of series you watch for the yuri, that's more of a bonus. If anything you should finish it because of how unique it is. It's peak 90's anime.
>>4434857The movie doesn't make any sense without the show before hand.
>>4434839>>the manga changed focus to other girls at some point and they are very gay for each other>>then the manga ended and the author started a sequel with the gay girlsI don't know how to feel about it, but I guess it was the only way to make it work.
It's funny and curious how many series with a certain yuri potential are increasing and end up embracing yuri in one way or another.
>>was a actually an bio engineered life form without genitals.you know, the usual.
>>4434839>trap was a actually an bio engineered life form without genitals.i see
>>4434839>trap was a actually an bio engineered life form without genitals.
>>4434869Because guess what, you have a lot of authors who wanted to just write yuri but were either being told to either change it to be a guy and a girl or just write super friendship, but now yuri series are just reaching the sales threshold were publishers likely want to have at least an X number of ongoing yuri series.
>>4434850It's a cool show but not exactly what modern audiences would consider capital Y "Yuri". That being said, Juri is a complete lesbian.
>>4434839Is that chocolate or blood?

How do people read harem or poly like watanare or yuritama in novel form?
I just cannot do it.
I can read something about true love like adashima, shuukura, or saeki sayaka novel just fine.
Though I cannot understand how anyone voluntarily expose themselves to walls of texts of harempoly mess. they're also only have like 10-12 illustrations, cannot really goon to it.

>>4435260The series is pretty blatant about how Satsuki feels about Mai, wouldn't call it vague, though yes as far romance goes there is only Renajo, Ajisai and Mai.
>>4435257>>4435260Thought for a second this could've had some worth to it, but if 60+ chapters in all we have is vague hints that "maybe this girl could get closer to the other one too", while the MC formed a toxic relationship where the ones who are in love with her have to accept getting endlessly cucked for her sake, I just feel glad I dropped it early on.

I've always shipped the guitarist and bassist of a heavy metal girl band that I like because they stuck together and reformed their band after the other three members left and I found out today that they're sisters so now I ship them harder. I always felt bad for the bassist because bass is always the least-popular instrument and her name is Sayaka so she's already sharing a name with a famous yaya so she deserves a cute girlfriend.
>>4434206Just started and got caught up on NinKoro.
>>4435324We all know it will be Maiden's Unwanted Heroic Epic. I'm joking.
>>4435375Not sure why you are joking when it's likely most fantasy yuri series that are not manga axed at volume 3 will get anime.
>>4435383>tenten>IFTV>virgin road>novice alchemist>slime taoshiteI don't know if that's enough to confidently claim "4 volumes of yuri fantasy = anime".
>>4435401You forgot Omae Gotoki, if consider how few yuri fantasy series we have, it's actually a very good ratio to anime.
>>4435268For once, I am glad that various schizos misinfo got faggots like you away from the series
Is there any solo yuri out there?
like just about an individual single girl, going about her life.
work easy freelance job, spend her days playing vidya, posting on imageboards, masturbating.
have no friend, never had girlfriend, will never have girlfriend, too scared to hire prostitute.
>>4435260>girls wanting to kiss other girls is subtext nowAll subtext should be like this from now on
>>4435401Virgin Road doesn't deliver. Slime taoshite is more so comedy with a bit of yuri. Idk about novice, but the rest are fine
>>4435496>Virgin Road doesn't deliverDoubt.
>>4435401Counterpoint: OneeKyo.
>>4435518It really doesn't. Look at the latest volumes
>>4435540Menou x Momo is more likely now than Menou x Akari.
>>4435540It will deliver by the end.
>>4435575It's so good that she got her arm chopped off because she was worried about Satoko not replying to her. Konoha's super whipped already. I'll treat this as canon.
>>4435572It already ended.
>>4435496Alchemist has MC marrying one of the girls. You shouldn't be worried because the next generation of yuri fantasy is very gay
>>4435575She's just kissing her mom.
>>4435575It should be safe to say that the anime won't adapt the bad manga chapter at thispoint,right?
>>4435663There is no bad manga chapter, but the anime will clearly end on chapter 25.
>>4435663Given the ED, there might be an epilogue teaser at worst.

Next season looks good on the subtext side too. Arknights will show /u/s Talulah's backstory, yes including Alina, and the plot of Turkey seems to be about the MC wanting her friend to return to her bowling club so yeah, you can see the potential subtext from the subbed trailer alone.
I'll always remember this season as the shampoo hat season.
Imouto discover that she is in an haremnette

>>4435735Don't reply to Mugino for any reason.
>>4435737But /u/ told me this isn't yuri?
>>4435751>A joke which comes from an irrelevant character
>>4435762Well at least this also isn't het. All the interactions with the guys were antagonistic this episode, and not in the "we're interested in each other" kind of way but in the "I want to get rid of this nuisance" kind of way, the story even went as far as to destroy any kind of frienship between Alice and the "manager" of the boys band.
>>4435751>listening to /u/I feel like you should know better by now.
>>4435751If /u/ were to tell you the sky is purple, would you believe them?
Somehow I've missed this manga. So good.
>>4435764Personally, I have nothing against that anime, but it hasn't been particularly yuri enough to defend it or consider it a recommendation for yuri.
Other series with more yuri have been looked down upon for much less or really silly reasons.
>>4435786I mean GBC has a thread here and it's about the same level of yuri.
>>4435776I'd believe Sumiko Arai if she told me the sky was green.
>>4435787I'd say it's worse, because GBC had a confession that was completely forgotten about in the next episode. Shit was infuriating. At least RWA doesn't pretend to be something it's not.
>>4435818It's just how works like this are now, they won't hide the gay anymore, they will just let up to viewers how it will conclude, there was a time yuri manga was like this too, and thankfully we are past that.
Everything was so good until Taki pulled the mommy card. What the fuck. Also can the mangaka PLEASE draw more sex?
>>4435751/u/ is retarded.
>>4435737Do you think the mangaka will see how popular it is amongst yuri fans and make the story more yuri? Kind of feel like bocchi went that way after the anime adaptation made bokita big.
>>4435863If it's not what the author originally intended it's very hard, especially for bigger magazines to deviate from the original plans, some authors have said in interviews that even small changes to the characters end with meetings with everyone involved, the publisher, anime producers, marketing team, merchandise companies and so on.
>>4435751You have told why it's not yuri again and again though
>>4435737Not even the gayest scene in the episode.
>>4435895I can't believe it's not yuri!
>>4435895Kek. Lilisa protected her imouto from those guys for the enjoyment of her so called friends.

Hey dumb question but what site do anons use to get yuri now that half of dex was erased. I've found a few of the ones I had previously on dynasty but it's missing some and other sites seem to be super behind....
>>4436011comick.io seems to be the one where scanlator groups are migrating to.
>>4436012I see. Thank you very much I appreciate it.
>>4435786/u/ will unironically say this, then go and praise marimite as the pinnacle of yuri
>>4435751>>4435766>>4435851>>4436038who's this individual person called /u/ you're talking about?
>>4435890>it's not yuri because they never explicitly commit to it and never make it official>meanwhile revue starlight, mieruko-chan, bocchi, Nanoha, precure, LWA, Madoka, yuyushiki, Read or die, princess principal, slow loop, bandori, yorokura, LR, ping pong girls, DIY, A-channel, Noir, locodol, encouragement of climb, etc. ARE considered yuri here without having to make it official and actually commit to a relationship.... because i said sohalf you fuckers still think G-witch wasn't yuri too, because of the 'up to interpretation' statement and there being no kiss. You could even get a confession and no kiss (GBC) and say it's not yuri, or a kiss and no confession (Yorokura) and say it's not yuri just because it's never followed up on, while praising all the other "classics" that pull the same thing.
>>4436044It's not rocket science, some people call all degrees of subtext "yuri", others have a threshold which can go as far as maintext.
At the end of the day labeling something as yuri or not doesn't really say anything about its content, it's just arguing semantics.
But of course /u/ will keep beating this dead horse over and over again.
>>4436046because yuri is love, and love is war
>>4436044I have better things to do in my life than to waste time defending faux yuri and the scraps they like to throw at yurifags. I'll stick to real yuri.

>>4436044>half you fuckers still think G-witch wasn't yuri too, because of the 'up to interpretation' statement and there being no kiss.Bandai themselves debunked this by making a statement they are married in the last BD.
All of those series have different degrees of how the relationship of the girls is portrayed, some are pure headcanon, some have light subtext, some have heavy subtext and some have explicit but onesided love. The series in question would fall inbetween pure headcanon and light subtext, though I wouldn't call most of those yuri.
>>4435895too many males introduced in this episode, red fucking flags.
>>4436126You can read the manga you mongoloid, while it's not a yuri series, this also goes nowhere because they are just antagonists of the week
>>4436126Dumbass.
>>4436127>not a yuri seriesDumbass.
>>4436135Unlike you I actually read it instead of just using it as shitposting material.
>>4436126They're the "monster" of the week, besides I wonder if the girls will have a real victory because it will be hilarious to see how the groupies of the lame boys band actually choose the girls band over the spoiled shitty boys.
Maturing is growing out of "is this yuri or not" discourse and focusing on the complexity of the relationship itself.
>>4436044The problem and the big difference is that several of the series you mention do have things or aspects that can be considered yuri in one way or another, but I keep insisting on a detail that everyone happily wants to ignore:
There is a difference between a yuri series and a series that has yuri (at different levels)
Now, with Rock wa Lady mentioning the yuri moments that justify the series being discussed here, I'm not attacking, I'm just asking.
>>4436236Most of those yuri moments are references to yuri works or fangirls shipping the girls together but then we have Shiraya wanting to be dommed by Otoha and saying it on-screen so at least you have one, almost, confirmed lesbian in the group. The fact that they're using the boys band as minor antagonists also helps.
>>4436276Not really, if the girls aren't interested in the guys it does not make it an inch more yuri or more likely to be yuri. Yuri is not and nenver will be about men. The main issue as always is that whatever scene you pick is not really part of their dynamic, compared to say for example Satoko and Kohona you can clearly see every moment adds to how they interact with each other, it's not just random moments which you could add to any chapter and would add or change anything.
>>4436279We're talking about a work of fiction so it matters because the message that the author/staff wants to tell you it's that the girls aren't interested in guys. For the second part of your post, we barely left the introduction of the characters like one episode ago, obviously nothing more than the foundations of a possible relationship will be there in a story with yuri, not a yuri story.
>>4436276>>4436285Why are you looking so hard for stuff outside of the main pair, there's enough for them alone to easily count as yuri subtext: they call each other lifelong partners, they intimately hold hands, fuss over each other, blush at each other, all the yuri imagery, etc...
It's not as blatant as in other series, but it's obviously there and intentionally so.
Or just avoid subtext altogether and enjoy your life.
>two yuris next season
>both are poly (supposedly)
grim if true
>>4436294>both are polyNeither of them is, it's just anons' wishful thinking to salvage them from all the downsides of multiple love interests.
>>4436295>Neither of them isDropped.
>>4436285You barely left, some of us read the manga and understand there is nothing of value so far, unless you are going to do like
>>4436292 and twist every thing into a narrative.
No, the message is only that the author is not interested in focusing on that aspect of the story, be it with guys or girls.
>>4436294Bad Girl is a love triangle, there is a possibility it could be poly since the authors has been doing some chapters with the rivals getting close.
>>4436304>No, the message is only that the author is not interested in focusing on that aspect of the story, be it with guys or girls.Yes, we already established it's subtext, anon.
>>4436304My dude, nobody cares about your autism. It's a series about the relationship between two girls, of course we're gonna consider it yuri here.
Have some self-awareness and stop embarrassing yourself.
>>4436308Subtext is the implication of something, not the absence of something, this is why the male argument is pointless.
>>4436309Some of us have moved past the 2000s to actually have standards, you can continue hunting cigar butts in the streets if you want, I am not even against people posting the series here because you can at least ship the girls, but if the question is if the series is yuri, not it's not, no amount of headcanon will change this, either the manga starts developing the relationship between the girls more than just panels anon can post out of context or not.
>>4436317>Subtext is the implication of something, not the absence of something, this is why the male argument is pointlessI'm not the one making the male argument, but subtext is definitely present here, and yes as most yuri subtext I'm pretty sure it will never turn into maintext.
>but if the question is if the series is yuri, not it's notSo you don't think the label 'yuri' should be used for subtext... duly noted?
I guess this all really just amounted to a discussion about semantics.
>>4436321>I'm not the one making the male argument, but subtext is definitely present here, and yes as most yuri subtext I'm pretty sure it will never turn into maintext.So why did you answer that post if you are going to bring up something unrelated to it? Also this is probably not even true anymore, though it really depends the amount of subtext we are talking about, series with subtext that boils down to a number of pages you can count on your hands are likely never becoming mainstream for obvious reasons.
>>4436321>So you don't think the label 'yuri' should be used for subtext... duly noted? I guess this all really just amounted to a discussion about semantics.Hoshikuzu is a subtext series but no one will have any qualms in calling it yuri, because it's just not pointless random scenes but rather something that builds itself into the narrative. And yes, of course it's a discussion of semantics, you are discussing the definition of a genre of works.
>>4436330>So why did you answer that post if you are going to bring up something unrelated to it?You seemed to have misunderstood my post since you talked about a narrative, but then basically confirmed my own point that it was subtext, so I noted it.
>of course it's a discussion of semanticsIt was my misunderstanding this time then, I thought it was a discussion about rock lady, I don't really have any preference about how to label things, nor any interest in yet another argument about it.
>>4436317>Some of us>usIt's just you, you're the only one who keeps throwing tantrums over subtext and goggles and whatnot. It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying. You keep making the same posts verbatim over and over every single season, and you don't understand no one cares about your autistic gripes with the definition of yuri.
You'd be better off in some yuri discord server than here.
>>4436341There isn't much to say other than what already has been said, their current relationship didn't progress much from the dynamic you already have seen in the first episodes and the anime is even rushing some stuff, which also does not mean it never will.

>>4436393Those girls definitely fuck old women
>>4435751That sounds like something /a/ would lie about...that said the one that is not yuri is the one about ojous playing vidya...its just some SoL with SF games.

Yuri peaked here, and i won't hear otherwise
โNot hetโ does not mean it is yuri.
Friendship also isnโt yuri, unironically or otherwise. Apply the same standards to yuri that you apply to het.
Everything is yuri until proven otherwise.
>>4436720>Friendship also isnโt yuriAre you watching HibiMeshi? The relationship between the childhood friends in that anime it's my personal benchmark for non-yuri female friendships, no jealousy, no obsession, no desire to be noticed in a special way and no need to be cheesy with them. A big difference with other relationships in the anime like MakoKurea or even SakuraNana.
>>4436660Subtext yuri and maintext het.
So very very /u/
>>4436720> Apply the same standards to yuri that you apply to het.I do that and retards like you seetheband claim โnot yuriโ
Donโt lie. You demand higher standards for yuri than are applied to het. Because youโre anti-yuri hetfags
But being honest would get you banned, so you concern troll and hide behind muh standards
An example: Gundam Gquuuux. If Shuji was a girl, youโd say itโs not yuri. But hetfags have no problem shipping him with the girls. You ignore how low standards are for het.
>>4436742>Anon has issues understanding what is a genre meant for.
>>4436670>Ajisai felt very conscious of their linked hands. โUm, hey, Mai-chanโฆโ she said.>โHm?โ>โThis is just, um, totally hypothetical, butโฆโ She worked up her courage, and said, โIfโฆ If I said I wanted to kiss youโฆwould you mind?โClearly someone is lying
>>4436749>Yes? Kissing another girl would be gay
>>4436747Yuri is not necessarily a genre.
>>4436742I specifically asked to use the same standards as het because some retards actually think platonic shit is yuri. But now that i think about it Iโm somewhat wrong because most people just happen to see m/f as a couple way more common than friends, whereas f/f is viewed contrastingly. So i suppose yes we should have slightly better standards than het. The โif this character was a guy/girlโ doesnโt really hold much water in case of yuri. It should but thatโs a different thing.
>>4436757Goid that youโre honest. Because a lot of shit you people love to call โplatonicโ, hetfags would call romantic if one of the girls was a guy
So donโt ever go โsame as hetโ. Because you donโt want the sane standards. You people want higher standards. At least, be honest about that
>>4436720>>Friendship also isnโt yuriYou shouldn't generalize, that's the problem I see a lot of people have around here, you can't pretend that all relationships between girls are the same and work the same way, it's even more obvious in series that many people despise without watching them in the first place, there you can see the differences in the girls' relationships, that's why I hate that "multishipping" nonsense.
>>4436742There really is no real difference between subtext and shiptease whether it's for yuri, het or yaoi, using the differences between men and women is just an excuse, but not a real answer, especially when what I mentioned before happens, not all relationships are equal and work the same, it all depends on the series in question more than anything.
that's why you can have a Het couple with no chemistry and the show pretends really hard that it's romantic and canon, while you have 2 (girl) friends that the show never intended to put together, who have more compatibility, chemistry and are a better couple, I'm referring to Kamichu by the way, this isn't about the difference between men and women, but an author/director/writer being incompetent.
>>4436759The "Hetfags" function as a cult that considers itself the only true faith, that's why they will defend crappy couples as if they were the best in the world (wan precure) based on little or no evidence or arguments literally pulled out of ass, how do I know that shit? I was involved in the Pokemon Shipping War over 10 years ago, it's not about liking a couple, but proving your superiority over the other beings in the universe (Misty sucks by the way)
>>4436759Again, yuri is a genre or rather a collection of tropes, men and women are different and interactions between same and opposite genders have different implications, there will be different expectations not only because of social norms but also because of how common some fictional tropes are in regards to others.
>>4436762It's not really incompetency, yes it looks like incompetency, but it's designed to be like this, modern romcoms do not want the characters to have chemistry, they want the protagonist to be as asexual as possible and getting into a relationship to be more like a responsibility or moral choice rather than emotional, because the main demographic are either young boys who never were in a relationship or older adults who again never were in a relationship, they cannot relate to the characters actually having stakes on something, the only fantasy they understand is girls falling in love because they did something trivial like being nice.
>>4436763This is just shipping, you are writing nonsense by trying to make a distinction because heterosexual and homosexual here.
>>4436774If itโs so different from het, say spo from the start instead of that meaningless โuse the same standards you would for hetโ statement
Just admit you demand different standards. I donโt care why.
>>4436809Anon, when I am saying yuri is a genre I am saying the standards are different, there is no hypocrisy in using different standards for very different things. We are not trying to be like hetfags here.
>>4436815There is when
>>4436720 goes โapply the same standards you apply to hetโ
You standards pretentious retards canโt be honest or consistent
>>4436815A story doesn't need to be part of the yuri genre to be yuri.
>>4436832Are you going to quote every use of word standard regardless of context to fit a narrative? Friendship is not romance is a common sense standard, after all they are distinct words to begin with.
>>4436837>Still posting futa
>>4436841So should we apply the same standards as het or different?
You people make no sense. The problem is that you miserable retards love to label shit you donโt like as friendship or โbad yuriโ (because muh male gaze, not enough progress, poly/harem bad or whatever excuses best fit your shitposting targets)
No one says friendship is yuri. The problem is what truly counts as friendship, thatโs where disagreements happen
>>4436840A story can have explicit or implicit yuri elements/tropes which the reader can identify, but there is no way to do this without scrutiny, the level of scrutiny is just higher than you want it to be.
>>4436841>Friendship is not romance is a common sense standardUnless it's between girls, then it's gay by default.
>>4436849You are just projecting your previous frustrations in this discussion and being unable to move past those, shitposters say a lot of things and I don't spend a single second thinking they even believe what they are saying, because I know most of them don't.
You have to apply common sense to any discussion, we are saying to you how you are not going to clear any debate by claiming if one of the girls were a guy people would perceive it differently because they are different situations and now you are trying to argue semantics in regards to the word standards, as if it would change the meaning of what we are telling you or even the contents of the series in question. The problem is not what counts as friendship or not, the problems is that you are unable to create a convincing argument something at least can be perceived as yuri.
>>4436841>>4436872Stop replying to anti critic sperg.
>>4436876Whereโa the criticism?
The only sperg here is

>>4436851Iโm the God of Objective Scrutiny and scrutiny says that you people are scum yurihater shitposters who love to label legit subtext as frienship and not yuri for no good reason
Now shut up. You will never drive subtext away from the board
>>4436885The burden is on you, not that you will ever do it, I suspect you never watched any of the series you make arguments for, you just want to enter into meta discussions.
>>4436888You can't even quote the right posts god of objective scrotum
>>4436890I canโt argue in good faith with someone who ho insista on lies and denying whatโs there
Itโs like if you started insisting Madoka has green hair. I can post 100 images of Madoka with pink hair and you will stay in denial. Whatโs the point?
Also, itโs you subhumans who donโt watch shows and come here to say โfriendship. Not yuriโ. You donโt watch shit. You just want to attack shows
>>4436892My point remains. Your elevated scrutiny is worthless and you arenโt driving the shows you hate away
This discussion will keep repeating 200 times and you still wonโt achieve anything other than being annoying and getting (you)s
Subtext is meaningless without any scope of maintext. Now the problem is usually thatโs not the case. Iโd be far more accepting of subtext if we had more maintext, then we would have much bigger scope, but alas
If youโre a yuri fan in good faith youโd be rightfully upset if subtext ends up as subtext forever. Anyone who seriously thinks friendship is yuri has absolutely no right to complain if the (girl) friends end up in het ships. In the end you donโt care about yuri you care about not seeing het in front of you.

If you think the raltionships in Madoka or Symphogear are the same as Mono or HibiMeshi this season (2 shows that are legit frienship. Iโd add Afroโs other story Yuru Camp to the โjust friends. No subtextโ group too), youโre retarded
>>4436900Technically, the feelings in Mono are "yuri for comedy" as confirmed by the author, not mere friendship.
>>4436904Sure. But that yuri for comedy stops after the first few episodes
If we are going to talk scrutiny and standards, the author failed at that โyuri for comedyโ thing. I saw it art first but no longer as the ahow went on
>>4436900It's funny you mention HibiMeshi since nip yurifags are high on shipping Mako and Kurea either way
>>4436900>>4436904NTA but mono, and even Yuru Camp, are proof that Afro is incapable of writing yuri, or their editor doesn't allow them to write yuri, because in both cases the most blatant yuri got buried by the plot, and by more popular ships in the case of Yuru Camp. In mono even Kiriyama has much better chemistry with Ann that Ann and her crush/childhood friend.
HibiMeshi has subtext but defied expectations by excluding any type of subtext between childhood friends. Mako has Kurea as her strongest ship, Nana became some sort of a simp for Sakura and even Shinon had at least one scene with Hitsuji. The Mako/Shinon and Nana/Hitsuji pairs are only childhood friends in the anime so I guess that made some people think there's no subtext here.
>>4436720>โNot hetโ does not mean it is yuri.But it's enough.
>>4436749>Clearly someone is lyingyeah, you.
>Manga-onlies think the poly is fake
Any new yuri stuff you've been interested in lately?
>>4436961Love from Ultra Deep Space and Baby Shachuuhackers are my favourite series that started recently.
Yurizon also had its first chapter a few weeks ago and it looks interesting.
>>4436977>Shachuuhackershttps://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/2550912965822847341
4 chapters released all at once.
Did /u/ like Aru Majo? Was it worthwhile?
>>4437018It was fun enough. One can hope that the anime revives interest in the LN so that the author can write the Meg/Fine marriage everyone wants.
>>4437018Dropped it halfway through, I really wanted to like it but there's no yuri that can be taken seriously, the content is mostly episodic stuff that happens to one-off characters and is later solved by the MC, and the main conflict stems from a super obvious lie, so it seemed just pointless to me after a while.
>>4437211>spoiler What? How is it super obvious if you donโt read the source? As a filthy anime only pleb, I saw nothing thatโd lead me to guess Faust lied about Megโs curse

>>4437212Come on anon, the granny is a super strong witch and a mother figure to the MC who'd obviously give her life for her without a second thought, but she waited until her 17th birthday to reveal that she was going to die exactly one year later, and left her dealing on her own with an impossible mission to save herself that conveniently involves meeting and helping people, without lifting a finger to help her and not a shade of urgency about it all?
She was obviously just giving her a test to push her to grow up and branch out, I could tell from episode 1.
>>4437212what was the point of quoting their spoiler as "spoiler", but then going and explaining the spoiler in your own post anyways?
>>4437214>>4437211How do you explain her evil stepsister feeling she was cursed?
>>4437299Red herring, I'd guess she's either acting on granny's instructions since they're close, or it's an unrelated thing.
>>4437376>she's either acting on granny's instructionsThey haven't been in contact or good terms since she massacred an entire nation.
>>4437389I'd assumed they were close since the last episode I watched had them announced to be working together.
Then it has to be some unrelated curse or a fake out.
