I for one...don't seem to dislike it too much? The setting and characters seem gripping enough in the usual kuzushiro style art with a very nice touch on panelling.
Doumoto and Sakurai actually very well relate to me and my friend (with me as Doumoto). Except that I'm not into him or will ever be. And that's where im scared the manga will take direction because it'll most likely end up as the typical shounen het manga with a token lesbian. Whether Doumoto is bi or not doesn't matter (even tho it should) so long as her "appreciation of girls" remain a running schtick.

I'm honestly OK with Kazushiro drawing whatever she wants. Just wait for this series to complete and hope the next one is yuri.

yuri just doesnt sell. unfortunate but its true.

I don't understand, if yuri doesn't sell why have yuri-bait when you can have just het?

like i said, she could be trying to double-dip. i dont know. this is all speculation, none of us have kuzushiro added on skype.

I understand. I think i would feel like that if my favorite yuri artist, Takemiya Jin, started doing a het series too. Well, not crying on the pillow bad, but i'll definitely feel like i might not see another yuri story from her if she gets to passionate of succesful with that story.

P.S. Don't worry, your english was not bad at all.

If Takemiya-sama leave us (me) too, this would be hell of a 2017 year for me...

P.S. Try my best! Thanks!

Kuzushiro draw this and this is not a yuri and even more this might be a het? Seriously?? Worst day ever, right after Minase-sensei leave us. Damn...

Minase Ruruu? what happened to her?

Haha, don't worry about that, she's nowhere near close to leave us. She's even producing a new yuri centric magazine this year with several other high profile yuri authors and some non-yuri authors trying their luck on yuri.

P.S. No problem. BTW where does your profile pic comes from?

Someone needs to get her skype and try to get some answers ASAP!!
No, but seriously, i don't understand why would she try her hand at yuribait after so many yuri stories. I'll try to investigate if it is indeed yuribait or if it does have full yuri.

Wow! Thats a great news! My sanity points recover thanks to you! And I remember, she's saying that she loves yuri very much and don't quiet this. Somewhere in credit page in one of her work. ))

P.S. Oh, it's "Best Misfortune Waifu for Best Luckiest Lifu" Yamashiro, from KanColle. In specific, author of this pic is Nagomi. ))

Yeah, she does like to write yuri a lot. Thats why i'm not worried about her leaving the genre anytime soon.

P.S. I can't seem to find anything from that author, care to share a link with me?

I'm not promising much, since i have to reach out someone else to get info on untranlated works, but i'll try my best :D

Wouldn't be surprised either. Anyways, thanks a lot for the encouragement, i'll let everyone know as soon as i can if this one is pure bait or if it has actual yuri in it.

Also, thanks a lot for the link, i loved the art style the moment i saw your profile pic.

No problem! You did it for the Great Justice! And we all support you!

You're welcome! Nagomi have a very good art-style! Especially i love her Haguro and Yamashiro ))

Honestly, the day Jin wrote het would probably be the day the Earth froze over, so I'll take solace in that.

.

Not interested in this if it's going to turn het, so I don't blame the preemptive drop. The last few pages already suggest a het ending anyways.

you guys know that Kuzushiro has written non yuri manga before and done a lot of shounen manga. Her alt name is Katsuragi Hajime. look it up, she's done non yuri before....

I'm pretty sure she did a lot of non-yuri series before she even did yuri, stop worrying over nothing and read the manga and let her live.

Yeah, thank god we don't have to worry about that anytime soon.

Thats not the issue here, the issue its that its bait, which is something Kuzushiro has never done before in any of her non-yuri series before.

Yeah and she is good at it. I think it will be good. Yuri-bait is bad of course but we all read Stretch until end.

We all did and that was a silly ride.

I trust Kuzushiro-sensei in the end, I haven't read raws but there is still a lot of story left

I don't surprise if Takemiya-sama actually gay. ))

She doesn't seem to use the term necessarily, but she has said she's lived for a long time with her female partner so I figure that's pretty much the same thing. She's also made it very, very clear that the only thing she wants to draw is yuri.

She's a lesbian. Erica Friedman interviewed her a couple years back, and her twitter information says so as well.

Nezchan, Raz, you both like a Bird's of Happy for me right now. Goddess, bless Takemiya-sama. And you, Nezchan, Raz! :D

Well, there you go then. I was going off of the afterword for KiLa KiLa and some comments in the forum about it at the time. Have to sit down and read her interview with Friedman.

A number of authors are lesbians or bi women. Morinaga Milk, Morishima Akiko, Amano Shuninta, Fujio, etc. My guess is the majority of female yuri authors are into girls in RL, although obviously I'd have no way to confirm that.

Kuzushiro is a woman?!! So many gay(ish) women being mangakas, it's so good!! __
Kuuuu, this made my day shine even brighter!!!
Now..awww I was suspecting it wasn't fully yuri because of the dude, that girl seems...bi or something..oh well, it was nice,surely we will get other nice jobs from her.

i was into this until the ending :/

I think I'll just see if this gets continued. The first chapter was rather strange with the whole "appreciating girls" and "I don't dislike you because you don't mind my stupidity". And maybe I'm going face blind but the faces look really alike.

e: on the other hand, this might be one of those gag series where no progress in the relationship department ever happens anyway.

That's my bet! is just a gag so if it turns yuri or het we will only know (and maybe) in the end or in some bonus time skip chapter.
But... Yeah, I was going to read it but when I saw the synopsis I didn't feel like it anymore, and now I find this, is almost funny

I don't think Kuzushiro would just bait a part of her audience if she didn't intend to deliver in the future. But i think its best to just wait to hear some spoilers in the future.

BTW, did you read it?

Nope, my connection is pretty slow so it didn't load in dynasty, only the first pages showing girls... I moved to batoto and that's where I saw the synopsis, I wouldn't mind a slice of life but if the guy is interested in a girl who shows interest in other girls hmmmm, there's a high possibility of "just a phase" ending.

Hobbies: Appreciating girls

Moshi moshi, bait desu

So i got my hands on the raws from vol. 1 and with the help of a friend translating some stuff, it appears that this is indeed bait. It appears that theres potential for some yuri side couple, but nothing really noteworthy. It also appears that this one connects with one of her other non-yuri series, so it's safe to say that this would seems that would end in het.

Anyways, i'm glad the translators dropped this series.
