Also, this.

Even though Saori isn't into yuri at all (obviously, ne?), she says one of the best take on yuri I've read, in just a few sentences.

It's exactly what yuri is about.

Hence, the sentence often met in yuri : "we really are the same".

Quite true. But I'm always confused by this "we are the same".
Two girls hook up but they are not the same at all especially if one is a different archetype than the other. They have different hobbies, ideals, etc...

The thing that makes them "the same" is their body or at least that's what they show you in Yuri. I would say gender but that's not true because how often do we see trans girls? Not often at all.

Edit: What I meant to say is that, surprinsingly enough or not, the physical is very important and this girl is not right. At least that's my take on it.

My take is, she disn't say the physical was not important or irrelevant. She did say that the mental aspect is more important in yuri than in other romances, because it's deemed "unnatural" by society. So, it's a quest to find someone like you, like finding a pin in a haystack

And "we are the same", is perfectly explained here I think. The things that makes them the same isn't only their body, it's everything : their love for each other, their desires, the fact that they are "out of mainstream" and their bodies of course. Both are looking for a soulmate, someone who will match with them, someone they can "fuse" with.

At least, I think it's like this in a lot of classical yuri. "We are the same" is a sentence Mari says when she makes love with Akko in Girl Friends. Because she was desperate to be accepted as she can not help to be, and finding her loved one being "the same" in body and desires, is a huge relief for her.

And I can't remember where else right now, but I'm sure I've read that sentence every so often in yuri stories.

And if you've watched Yuri Kuma Arashi, the ending illustrates exactly this. To be "the same" makes your love true.

I think most people can understand this but I can see why anyone who has an "alternative" love life can relate more deeply. You've given way more thoughts to this than I that's for sure.Then again it's 6 in the morning and I haven't slept. Thanks for doing the mental gymnastsics so I don't have to!

I haven't watched an anime from start to finish since last fall, stupid days need to have more than 24 hours in them.

Yeah, I relate a lot. Though yuri has often little to do with how real life goes, I know that much. You'd have to read honey honey or Lesbian Solo to get closer to reality.

But the feelings in yuri resonate deeply. The more I read yuri, the more my heart turns into a soft pink marshmallow... T_T

this should get anime.

I agree with this mostly. But c'mon, actually IN yuri it's more like finding a certain pin in a heap of pins. Take the manga we're commenting on for example. Heterosexuality doesn't exist.

can we change the player tag to playa tag it just seems so much better

Ohoho the next target acquired~

There's actually someone mightier than Yurika? Things just got interesting

Ok, that was... a bit hard to read for me..

This never gets boring.

In other words, Yurika has seduced us all.

LOL xDDDD

Yay it's back! Aha Casanova's seducing tactics would have had me running for the hills....

That "fake accent".. It was kinda annoying to read.
And it would be a turn-off if someone did that :p

A new seductress? This is turning into a yuri (shounen) battle manga, isn't it? xD

"A new challenger appear!"

if this was a male protagonist harem I wouldn't read it but everything changes when its yuri.
does this make me a shallow person?

And then a new challenger rises to the stage...
Again...

"It's okay when girls do it!"

Yay it's back! Aha Casanova's seducing tactics would have had me running for the hills....

My ironclad willing suspension of disbelief popped like a soap bubble and I burst out with "There's no way any woman in this entire world would find that seductive!!"

My "willing suspension of disbelief" is in the shipyard for repairs since I do want to read the rest of this.

a break! and oooooh, nice, a new one! This would be interesting!

Hohohohoho, sucha great chapter.

It was nice having a different character as the focus for once. And gotta say, that dorm mother is really sexy

I think the next chapter will be about yurika and the casanova trying to save the girls with there own womanly ways

Reuploaded the chapter with a page fixed (and a credits pages omission of mine corrected, orz).

I can't wait for Yurika and Casanova to get down and dirty. That'd prove an interesting battle.

And a new challenger appears. Who will probably try to seduce Yurika and prostitute her.

I died of laugh with the line about "No fingerprint on that finger because of all the rubbing"

At that too http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/yurikas_campus_life_ch18#16 (the thumb between the fingers means "sex")

I wonder if she's using kansaiben.
