This is so depressing...

wow. just... i don't have a single syllable to describe sniff! how depressing tonight has been.

I love the description

I don't know but I pretty sure this was the very first yuri manga

I don't know but I pretty sure this was the very first yuri manga

the mangaka's first? and if that is true, no matter how sad this story was, it's still a really nice piece of work.

I think he meant the first yuri manga in general. I don't know if that's true but it certainly the oldest I've read considering it's from 1971.

As for the work, it really has the classic melodramatic tragic ending feel that was ever so popular in the 70s. That was especially true in cases of same-sex pairings. This is neither good or bad, it really depends on how "hardcore" you like your drama.

Love in same sex never had happy ending

I still cant believe the first yuri manga is a tragic T.T

Well, as far as I am concerned, it was a happy ending. I will forever adhere to the series description, it's worked well all this time.

This is one of the few mangas that I really liked a lot but can't bring myself to read again. It was hard enough not crying the first time as it is...

I enjoyed this series even though I'm generally not fond of needlessly depressing endings, but I really have to point out just how ridiculous the protagonist's name is :

"Résine de poisson" is literally "Fish resin" in French.

i can't handle the super kawaii eyes

What's up with this old school drama? First Onii-sama E, now this gahd everyone be dying

Yuri manga from 70s and 80s usually have a bad ending, with death or separation. We had to wait 90s, especially Sailor Moon (1992) to have a positive depiction of Yuri.

Shiroi is usually considered as the "first yuri", as it was written in 1971. But technically it's Shīkuretto rabu, dated from 1970. A perfect love-triangle between two girls and one boy. As Shiroi it's a bad ending as the three ends up alone after some suicide attempt and on.

But Shīkuretto rabu was forgotten by history and everyone remember Shiroi as the "first yuri". I even didn't find any scan of Shīkuretto.
If someone finds it, I'm very interested by it BTW!

I haven't seen scans of it either, but I did order a physical copy of the book, so it's possible that we (Lililicious) will decide to scanlate it, for its historical significance if nothing else.

Wow! It would be really cool if you take the time to translate it. ♥

I was going to comment on this too. Being a french person, I laughed really hard at this. Seriously why, parents?!

Fuck, soooo Sad

I'm usually a fan of happy endings or I'm left unsatisfied, but I kinda likes this. It sucks Simone died, but Resine got what she deserved.

Oh my god... Just... It's the second manga (After Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan) That just left me with wet eyes. I'm just... speechless.

I'm curious since I read the description of the manga, so I came to the forum to measure how sad and bam, there's a spoiler not covered, thanks so much

Love in same sex never had happy ending

When it comes to classic Japanese literature, from which this dramatic manga is somewhat rooted, most love stories were tragedies.

Lol didn’t Uranus and Neptune die a couple of times? Although they were revived in the end
