Oh boy, yuri fans and their stupid paranoid victimization routine. Whenever there's any ambiguity about a character's sexual orientation, she must be straight. Whenever a guy shows up for 2 panels, it's going to be het. Whenever the ending is left open, it's BAD END.
OK, I'll bite. that may be true, but we must take into consideration two scenarios:
- Matsuri-san is straight which means that Koyuki has no chance in hell or at least a slim chance in hell, or
- Matsuri-san cannot deal with that idea that Koyuki-san actually likes her in a romantic, non-friend way; which means that Koyuki is SOL (SOL = sh*t outta luck). AND until Matsuri processes those feelings, Koyuki STILL has little to no chance. Not to mention that she, Koyuki, is already experiencing a rather frigid reaction from Matsuri.
So while we the readers are left to our own devices, the end result is victimization; but not because a character has one sexual orientation vs. another or whether a story is heterosexual because a guy is introduced into the storyline, but because the story IS left open-ended and nebulous. if that seems too esoteric, let's look at it from the point of the characters...
Matsuri - victim? maybe. more nieve then anything.
Koyuki - absolutely the victim because not only has she lost a possible love interest, but also a friend. [ref: three instances of being ignored]
As to whether or not a story is "bad" because the ending is left open is purely a point of perception. so that "to me (and this too is a perspective)" is a moot point.
There's nothing to indicate that girl's straight. The massive blush and hyper-awareness at the end hints at the exact opposite.
maybe, maybe not. remember, she was blushing when the guy confessed to her as well. there is quite the possibility that because she is nieve, she just cannot wrap her mind around that idea that someone likes her OR she is easily embarrassed. so +0 points because we the reader do not know.
And it's a oneshot. Finishing the story in your head however you like is kind of the point of a lot of them.
Exactly! and because this one shot leaves you on the edge of a cliff with what "could" happen next, you are left to your own conclusions. this is not a bad thing, so +1 points.
Finally, yes we Yuri fans are opinionated because heck, we are here to read yuri-based stories. so yup, there IS a good chance that folks will grumble 'cuz it didn't end the way they expected it, but so be it. people gripe, then move on. sides, you cannot honestly say it doesn't happen in other genres can you?
anyhoo, like all posts, it's an opinion. nothing more, nothing less.
