So much time of my life wasted ._. while I really enjoyed the manga till now the ending is...it's just not an ending at all... I could bear with the subtext and or the heterosexualiy of them....but seriously so mandy things still untold.... :(

The rushed ending might not have been the author's fault, in all fairness. I agree though, that it really is quite the shame. The buildup was fucking awesome, and then it tapered out. Hopefully there will be bonus chapters or something...

what? I didn't understand anything .-.

I thought I was over it. I thought I finally had moved on... I'll go cry in a corner now.

You can check out any time you like.

But you can never leave.

Btw, I didn't read this I just wanted to drop in and remind people of something. Higashiyama Shou is not a yuri mangaka. 90% of what he writes is het lolicon hentai. Prism is not representative of what he normally does. I don't know if you can expect more yuri from him in the future, but, in any case, its not good to assume that whatever he writes is going to be yuri or even yuri-ish... because its usually not going to be. Cheers.

think of it like this: 100% of his non-hentai works are yuri.

Hey guys, so.. this manga END forever?.. or what

What was that... T_T

But... but... the Honmei Choco...

This picture perfectly capsulate why Shou did stretching at the beginning of the manga. He knew he would cause mayhem in the hearts of yuri fans everywhere, by the end of the manga.

JOKE!!

It's ironic that one of the biggest threads on this forum is about a non-yuri manga.

^
To add to that I think people hoped that the manga would end up yuri. that is why there is so many comments about this manga. it just speaks volume that hope is a powerful thing.

Even though I'm super disappointed, it's still one of my favorites on here.

if anyone ever wants a real galpals only and BFFs 5ever story they always claim on other blatant f/f relationships, i will point them to this manga

It's ironic that one of the biggest threads on this forum is about a non-yuri manga.

You know, I begin to wonder if the people calling this non-yuri, particularly after the last chapter, have even bothered to read the story.

After all, there's a lot there that points to Ran being gay as hell for Keiko. The honmei choco, the dream, the naked hug, a lot of little hints that get passed off as jokes. There's really no doubt about how Ran feels. As for Keiko, she's been very close with Ran all the way through, and says as much on several occasions. But most significantly in the last chapter she acknowledges the naked hug happened and doesn't make fun of Ran for it. In context, that's Keiko taking it seriously.

And now, while there hasn't been an actual confession they have made it clear they'll remain in touch and Keiko gets to have time separated from the situation to work it out in her own head. Exactly like she did with her other major issues, her ex and her mom.

Personally, I find it difficult not to see this as basically a standard yuri story, just with the last couple of pages missing. Sure, we didn't get a confession or a kiss, but the door's wide open. That's why I think the "It's not yuri, HA HA!" (insert Nelson Muntz gif here) crowd is at the very least more wrong than the "Why didn't they have science babies" faction.

But that ambiguity and subtext isn't what bugs me about the ending, as I've said several times before.

I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it! Great point. Stepping out of a situation is the best way to gain insight. Keiko has the character type to not make rash judgments or decisions, this could very well be her way of processing her relationship/friendship with Ran. Who knows what we might get in the future.

You do have a point. While there wasn't any blatant kissing or confession, subtext was deeply implanted in this series. Especially, the comments about them being a "married couple". Lol.

I actually feel better about it now.

All we need to do is wait for the vol 4 extra that is supposed to be more than the previous ones and hope that it gives some closure. If not, then wait for the possible sequel xD

I doubt it'll give very much in the line of closure. All the previous extras have been pure fluff, more like art sets than any actual story. It'll be nice to see, but if there's any actual progress it'll be in the as-yet-hypothetical sequel.

Disappointed with the ending.

I thought the ending was great. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. Sure, a lot of the issues like Keiko's boyfriend and Ran's father wasn't really resolved but even in reality, loose ends aren't always tied. The series never promised yuri but more of a bona fide friendship between the two MCs, so I think that the viewers who think the ending was mostly bad and/or rushed were deeply rooted on the idea of a "yuri end", it was the be-all and end-all but it sadly did not go this route.

Proof this is not yuri or subtext : Dynasty didn't tag it as such.

QED.

You win this round.

But next time...

HONMEI CHOCO!!!

The Choco is a lie!! goes to cry in a corner

For me, there's a misunderstanding from some people here. Keiko just isn't gay. She's not going to change orientation just because Ran is cute. People complain when the opposite happens (lesbian falling for guy) so why is this different?

I think she knows and acknowledges Ran's feelings. She still like her and isn't about to call her disgusting, but it does not mean she has to have sex with her or pretend to love her that way.

I think they are true friends in the end even though Ran is hurt because of unrequited feelings

She will get over it.

That's life.
