Would you like your friend to start following and dating some random bloke in your own body?

Since it was her first time being hit on, I think she could forgot she swapped body, especially since she was taken by surprise and panicked. I just find it interesting, that she said of course I turned him down, as if it was obvious thing to do even thought it was her first time experiencing it. You would think she would be happy about it.

Are you sure? I mean, look at Natsuko's depressed reaction to the mere thought of a guy hitting on her at all. Even when she wasn't the one experiencing it.

I find more relevant the fact that Nikaido immediately starts to say how Ichinose is much cutter than her and that she dresses flashy for herself, not to get attention. Really make me think she is unconsciously gay.

It could just be a japanese quirk, as not to appear "slutty" at the first sign of being hit on but well, desirable ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, yeah, it's a pretty common reaction with girls in anime and manga, even those clearly straight.
I think the point isn't about not to appear slutty, but because those guys are only interested in sex, and they would rather have romance.

A good example is the chapter in Shinozaki where Kaede is being hit on by some random guys. Akina thinks about how she's an otaku, so she's not used to it and haven't learned how to defend herself yet. She thought like that was common sense to her and her friends.
This kind of thing actually also happens in het stories with clearly straight girls.

So yeah, she turning down the guy doesn't mean she doesn't like men. But she being nervous and embarrased by it doesn't mean she likes men either. And we know she likes girls's bodies already.

Correct me if I am wrong, really, please do, I want to be informed on this stuff because these assumptions are entirely grounded in the things that I have a "gut feeling" on when reading and my very basic knowledge about japan and it's culture but I feel like this is one of the many "pitfalls" you can fall in, given how anime and manga really more often than not try to push and encourage Wife-material, the loyal yamato nadeshiko big boobs, perfect body and pornstar hair not entirely optional or as I said, desirable female

Well, there's also a bit of the kind of guys that flirt with girls are generally considered to be more "dangerous". So it is a better idea to stay away from them.

Or you'll end up drugged and gangraped in an alley somewhere or something. Based on the porn I've read.

Well, I can only give my opnion there, since everything else will be speculation, unless I actually make an interview with japanese people. (I don't think I ever read one about that).

But yeah, I think you're kinda right about that, but not entirely. Yeah, this kind of character is more desirable, sexually or romantically, but I think that in general, they're more sympathetic to their target audience. I say that because even male character on shows targeted to men are like that, not having a lot interest in making sex with a lot of girls and being more interested in romantic. Except in some more niche titles, the pervert character will usually be a stupid guy that will only end up bad.

I don't think this is a japanese thing, though, but a nerd thing. Just look at 4chan and how they hate those "normalfags" with their active sex life.
Even yuri titles clearly aimed at female usually fall on this trope, so it's not a thing to male japanese otaku either.
Actually, the people here on dynasty aren't different at all. Most work that feature more sexually opened characters will have a lot people hating on it.

But anyway, in this case in particular, these guys hiting on random girls at places are usually creepy and just want to use them, so I think it's natural to avoid them.

The joke has started to wear thin and well, you can exactly say the characters are that well developed. Not that surprising for a 4-koma I guess.

Chapter 8 is out. Fuuuh! Same "plot" as chapter 7 : with guy but at the bookstore. In the end, that guy saw them kissing. His final quote is " Give my regards to your girlfriend" to Haruko. BTW, hey, hey,hey, wait a minute ! I know that puns names : Haruko, Natsuko, Akiko (new character in ch.8), and Fuyuko (that short hair, in future chapter, pairing with Akiko). They're four seasons in Japan.

too much guy ......

Faceless guy. So is probably of no consequence.

I honestly don't care about the gay or not panicking, please spoiler your post properly. Chapter's not released here yet.

Yuri is alive and well

And did you notice that e-mail adress?! Haruko + Natsuko = Hatuko!

Stop discussing chapters from stuff before they're uploaded here. If you're going to, add a spoiler at least.

Faceless generic guys doesn't matter.
The teasing is strong in this one ...!!! B-But I won't be fooled again, hmpf.
Is just bait and I'm not the prey

This is not bait. None of the girls are going to get a boyfriend. Will everybody clam down? They are allowed to interact with males.

I'm talking about the yuri baits, the guy ultimately goal was to lead the girls into the yuri side bringing the topic

He didn't even considered that, considering his surprise at the end.
And if it was the case, he would ask if she had a lover, not a boyfriend.

I'm not getting much of a yuri feel in this series. This is pretty much a gag series with two girls kissing. Haruko is only interested in girls breast and only sees flat girls as comrades. Natsuko just uses the kisses as a means to get of or experience different situations. Some of you guys are taking this too seriously this doesn't seem like a series in which the girls will fall in love or develop any true feelings for each other. One girl isn't gay and the other one comes across as having more of a fetish. I feel like this is one of those authors who believes just because they're both girls it doesn't matter if they kisssed, because they're just gal pals. Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm not expecting much from this series but a quick laugh

lgbt only mainstream in the west...

And did you notice that e-mail adress?! Haruko + Natsuko = Hatuko!

That's a script n.

Faceless guy. So

HET!!!
