It's definitely about the execution of the thing at this point; it really doesn't matter if I saw the ending a mile away. Great read.

Also Yuri on Ice benefits everyone who likes to see more same-sex relationships in anime, I feel like it's a small step forward to normalizing it.

I've seen that reasoning applied to the question of why so many young lesbians are attracted to yaoi. The idea is that they (and we) want to see more homosexuality in general, even if it's not our particular brand of homosexuality. It helps normalise the idea of same-sex relationships in our fiction, and as the saying goes "a rising tide floats all boats".

It was very easy to see how it would end, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable!

I was just mentioning in the IRC that there's really nothing original about this, the enjoyment is more about how well it's executed. Like listening to someone perform an old standard, you know the content already but it's still worth your time for the performance. In this case, I like the airy quality of the art, it reminds me of Konno Kita's stuff.

As to the actual story, it's basically a mix of Graffiti, as others have mentioned, and The Cherry Tree Correspondence. The story of the latter was pretty obvious too, but I still liked it.

That's yuri! Ever read 40 Years of the Same Damn Story by Erica Friedman? It's a short article about the main core of yuri, though yuri has grown and changed quite a bit lately. But, one of the main draws of romance fiction is it's predictability, not it's originality. You read it seeking out certain experiences you want to go through!

I´ve been thinking the same thing. We read love stories not because it´s originality but because we want to experience certain kind of emotions.

As for this story, I enjoyed every part of it. <3 Also, thanks for the link to Graffiti. It´s always good to re-read something as cute as this. <3

Wow, I think that aside from the cover, there was absolutely no screen tones. Don't often see that, don't recall reading anything without them actually, it was visually interesting
