This might just be the definition of "slightly yuri".

Why is the bland and full-color look so common for male-oriented slightly yuri? Lots of Hypderdimension Neptunia doujins use it, I think. And Kuttsukiboshi...

Maybe they just have more time than talent? (￣∀￣)

I'd say this is more than "slightly yuri" in my opinion. Saya was really gay, she just doesn't realize it yet.

Also now I want crepes.

I can't quite place it but something about the story just feels totally off to me. Also those skirts were ridiculously short. You can barely even call those skirts, more like extra large belts.

Yeah the skirts was very SHORT! God damn xD but overall it's a good introduction piece~ you could actually make more, but more skirt length...guess i made some people very annoyed •w•

What was off was how the hell do you "accidentally" kiss your friend after turning t show a picture. Also needed bit more background.

Well, Mei's post made it seemed like she had feelings for Saya but eh, it's still unfulfilling.

Don't we all.

I read the bio of the characters and this is basically citrus right?

There's no such thing as "slightly yuri" and "male-oriented slightly yuri", Don't know where you got these weird terms from.

Not so much skirts as frilly belts.

The fanservice and sometimes questionable clothes/anatomy/story is actually pretty amusing. It's almost endearingly clumsy at trying to be ecchi and kinda failing at it.

Wow those skirts can give the cast of Saki a run for their money.

Well, the afterword (beforeword? I dunno) itself calls this thing "slightly yuri," so I don't think that it'd be too unreasonable to call it slightly yuri. That said, I'd at least give this thing props for at least being more yuri than... I don't know, any cliche SOL thing filled with lame subtext.

You know what? Ditch the skirts. We're going strike witches now.

Nah, it wasn't that, for me at least. It was something more subtle and permeating about the story as a whole.

I think it's due to a problem of being fairly soulless work. Art done by artists for series and works that don't particularly care about the quality or content and all that jazz. It's what I tend to associate this style of art with, the kind of work that includes gay scenes for the views rather than actually wanting to.

This doujin is a big example of that kind of problem. It takes a nice concept (childhood friends, one of whom is a gyaru and the other honor student? sure, awesome) but it just feels hollow. Stuff like the constant need for upskirt shots and the crepe mistake. Can't say I enjoyed it.

Well, the afterword (beforeword? I dunno) itself calls this thing "slightly yuri," so I don't think that it'd be too unreasonable to call it slightly yuri.

It was more of the fact that they made it seem that "Slightly Yuri" was a sub-genre of Yuri the same way as "Shojo Yuri", "Josei Yuri", "Seinen Yuri", "Shonen Yuri", and "Subtext Yuri".

That said, I'd at least give this thing props for at least being more yuri than... I don't know, any cliche SOL thing filled with lame subtext.

I'm now scared to ask what "SOL" is.

But yeah, this was an overall solid doujin. Sure, it may not have much but It still succeeds at what it tries to deliver, really strong subtext.

Slice of Life.

There needs to be more gyaru yuri, I hope this gets a meatier sequel Speaking of which, why isn't there a gyaru tag?

Hmmm... I think this deserves an ecchi tag.

Well that was bland and stupid.

I honestly didn't think this was that bad. I mean, it's not good in any stretch of the imagination and the excessive fanservice was definitely unnecessary, but I wouldn't mind a sequel in which Saya actually realizes she's attracted to Mei.

woah

M-more? Please?

I actually have to apologize here, since I wasn't trying to imply Slightly Yuri was its own sub-genre, more like a level on the Yuri-o-Meter, that ranges from male-oriented "girl on girl is hot" moeblobs from the popular otaku shows (which is what this is and is as drpepperfan noted, tend to feel soulless since yuri is just a fetish to these people, 7/10 times they also draw yuri couples from K-ON or Kancolle or whatever getting raped by faceless men without a second thought) to generic school girl "but we're both girls!" doki doki gender dynamics up to some resemblance of actual lesbianism written by wlw (or at least fujoshi women who like yaoi, yuri and het, i.e. the love freaks) that feature more than just the average scenarios and archtypes to finally the non-moe art filled with so much realism you'd assume they were autobiographical, clearly written by actual bians, probably in queer magazines instead of Yuri Hime or whatever.
