Last page gave me the creeps

oh shit its Matsuda Mai.
I have been waiting for this one to be translated thank you!

I laughed a lot at the last panel. Why such a weird and creepy alien design? The juxtaposition of that weird demon/monster-looking alien on the toilet, hands-on-kness, was too much!

I kind of liked her concept, not gonna lie XD I've read so much yuri at this point than something truly out there might actually be fun !

See that's how you know she's a real one, a true monsterfucker isn't stopped by what normal people consider attractive

I don’t know how to explain it but this one is so good, the talk about yuri (if people on sns understood that we will have less discourse lol), My name is Yuri and I am from Lilium school (lmao), the way it poke fun to the trope of using creatures for societal issues, and the end! It’s the type of parody made by someone who likes what they are making fun of. I love that spirit
Without mention, finally a monster that is not conventionally atractive, true monster fuckery here

What a twist!

There's no freakin' way i can draw yuri... unless?

I would add What the fuck am I reading? tag to this oneshot...

As M Night would say:

"What a tweest!"

Need a tag "i want to forget the last panel"

At least from what I've heard, the most unrealistic thing about this is a high school girls' restroom being a suitable place for heartfelt talking and even a confession. All I've heard from the women around me was how filthy and disgusting they were.
Maybe that's a Japanese cultural thing and they're much cleaner and less smelly than in Europe...

Interesting to see a yuri work from Matsuda Mai. I should get back to her "main" het series some time. Kinda stopped reading about ten chapters back.

Yuri is not so far fetched with her in her manga Hikaru in the light , the character of Yukino has a girlfriend named Rinku , as revealed in volume four of that series.

Absolute banger

To me Yuri is a lesbian umbrella term so I don't agree with the idea of separating the two. Anyway, the twist the end was definitely creepy but I guess not entirely surprising lol

what the fuck

I want more of this. This is hilarious. More.

^^^Id say yuri is an umbrella term for lesbian IN MANGA & ANIME. The anime/manga spins on lesbian are quite specific and contain a lot of tropes and ideals that just often dont apply to real life in japan. or elsewhere. Its not exactly normaly a realistic accurate representation of life for lesbians.. Tho sure, some are.

I was wondering why a bunch of Manga i happened to read around the same time a short while back are getting uploaded in a row, before i remembered i read them when i was looking at the scanlator page on Mangadex or somewhere.

Can't talk about the rest of Europe, but the restrooms in my high school (France) where cleans and not more weary than the rest of the school, And let me tel you it was no high class school so i have to assume other school weren't worse. Probably not where people would have a heart to heart since... you know, toilets. But i do know some chicks, including that one flanel wearing girl in my class had gay sex in the stalls, but that was rare (as far as i know at least).

LOL this is cute. I wouldn't mind a short story. Esp cuz the alien is low-key uggo

I'm pretty sure in Japan that's what Yuri is. It's not explicitly romantic. The labels the west use is diff from what Japan uses

I wouldn't use the term Yuri in real life though I do think Yuri manga/anime are lesbian. Where I don't think a story has to be realistic to be gay or lesbian, just as a straight romance that's idealistic and maybe fantastical is still hetero. I just don't think disqualifying a ton of the works on here as lesbian is a good thing to do personally.

See; that's a perception a lot of people have , especially in the west, but she's right. Yuri refer to a genre. It obviously have ties with lesbians, but the two are, in fact, different things. Of course, some lesbians will like and write yuri, sometimes even putting a realistic spin to it. Or (half-)jokingly refer to real life stuff as "yuri".
Take our definition of yuri here on Dynasty-scans, we have a clear cut "it's yuri if theres are canon wlw" which is good and practical for tagging purpose, but that's not the "real" definition (to the extent that there is such a thing as a real definition for such a thing). A lot of things that we will say are not yuri because they're not explicit enough so it's subtext would just fall into yuri because they do fit in the genre. Meanwhile sometimes women writting manga that aim to be a reaslitic depiction of LGBT will prefer using other terms, sometime to the confusion of reader who don't see a distinction.
Heck i don't remember which manga it was that had people arguing in the comment section of a certain now-defunct manga pirate site that two characters wouldn't get together because the author had say "It wasn't yuri", when to me it was pretty obvious that the author just meant it wasn't in that genre.

The issue isn't that a story that isn't realistic isn't lesbian, many yuri manga will use the L-word even. The point is inversely that the aim of the yuri genre isn't necesarily to say something about lesbians and that depiction of lesbians don't necesarilly fall into the yuri genre. The two have ties, obsviously, "lesbian" is in the lexical field of "Yuri". But the two terms are not synonymous.
And the comparison with het doesn't really work, since...obviousely straight people don't have the same history and het romance don't have the same history as yuri and aren't a specific subgenre, they're just romances (the equivalent would be that lesbian romances are still lesbian romances no matter how idealistic or fantastic they are).
And of course, the whole Yaoi, Bara, Gay Men is a whole other different beast altogether.

i feel like the square-rectangle thing applies here: all yuri is lesbianism, but not all lesbianism is yuri. fwiw, the "yuri is actually about a pure spiritual bond" is really outdated, and the japanese wikipedia page literally says straight up that it refers to lesbian romance (unlike the english one that waffles for ten paragraphs about it).

i think the real issue here is that japanese readers/viewers are much more sensitive to subtext and subtle nuances that just don't come across at all to an eng speaking audience (whether because of translation or literacy issues). it's not that yuri isn't romantic, it's that people's sensor for what's romantic is more sensitive. i like bringing up the clannad anime here as an easy example of something that's clearly a romance but shows nothing physical beyond holding hands or hugging, and yet you never doubt the nature of their relationship. love doesn't need to be explicit to be real!

anyway! this was really silly and i liked it. adorable art, too

Apologies it seems I stepped on a social landmine here, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. I didn't expect my perspective to be controversial, where to me the yuri manga I read are lesbian, but I guess more people agree that they aren't actually lesbian. So to other people this author making a work that's Yuri but not lesbian makes sense. I'm trying to process the thought that none of the manga I've been reading on here are actually lesbian, and they're a separate thing called Yuri. My head hurts, and I think I'll just remove myself from this conversation now.
