Real talk, how well is this series doing in Japan? Like I get that vidya is huge over there, but fighting games + yuri seems like such a small niche. I can't understand how this exposition dump series with a generic art style could possibly be the hottest thing in YH...

No idea. But they are both niche but remember when something is harder to find people go out of their way to get it so it has the fighting games audience and the yuri audience how long will it hold both only time will tell(my money is on Mr axe)

i lost it when she asked for a hair tie and then tied her hair up as loosely as possible

I kind of read this as a filler in YH, it can't seriously be that popular.... right? I get the whole cute girls doing cute things gimmick, but everything here is so bland I can't see it being a big hit

Maybe it's just because I'm not into them, and never really played them, but I find all the explanations of fighting game mechanics really boring.

I guess having only female (main) characters is enough to be published in Yuri Hime theses days.

Remember: yuri is not a "romantic relationship between girls." It's a "special relationship between girls." Where special means: friends, sisters, family, lovers, lesbians.

Really? I like all those things but I don't agree they should be under this particular term. I think the most it should cover is a story about a lesbian even if a relationship is never actually featured as in the case with My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. Just my thoughts on the mater. I suspect this issue has already been decided?

This story still amuses. Something that could be romantic yuri seems to have come up. Possibly it's just indigestion though. There just might not be any romantic yuri but we still have cats. And Tekken!

Was afraid of that. but the first person to mention it after the current chapter's release gave me hope!
I'm tempted to try and get you all to look at Guilty Gear Rev 2. If only it had some definite lesbians. Game is gorgeous though.

It'd probably be more of a grind if you knew it well. I've basic experience(mostly Mortal Kombat and Smash Brothers) and these explanations aren't much more interesting(though informative).

C'mon where is yuri guys? Will it ever start in here? :c

Suddenly I realize that Mino's character is basically Paul Phoenix.

DEATHFIST URAAAAGH

The hair tie is going to change... EVERYTHING!

ch 5 minor error in pg 9 fixed https://yuriproject.net/someday-well-get-ch05/

Mangaka uses same kanji and kana ( 西あすか ) as the voice actress. I notice they've done two card game mangas (not translated) that seem to have the same character and a couple others also not translated but not many chapters of any of them. So they're relatively new, I think.

I think we're past the Golden Age of pure yuri romance dominating, and now it's yuri + whatever it's actually about.

I think it's still worth reading overall, but I think the writer should go a lot less detailed into fighting mechanics. It's not like the readers need to learn these moves or how to play to pro level to be able to follow it.

I think a good example would be the Saki anime - they do explain the odd term, but 90% of the time they don't explain hands, yet you can still follow what is going on. And moreover, even though it is about a much more complex game, they spend more time focusing on characters than mahjong. I think this would benefit too from being more character focused.

I actually like this just fine. That said, I hope the ending is the laid-back player saying "You know, playing these fighting games side-by-side is the only way you two will essentially 'have sex'." And the new girl going "Phuck that!" and walking off into the sunset with the laid-back girl.

@Shion

You can't even consider this Manga subtext, it's just another boring generic sports manga, which I think is somehow worse because it's focused on VIDEO games. Which are in their best form as actual videos rather than panels.

reads page 19

DAMMIT JUST KISS HOLD HANDS ALREADY

It all just feels like a big ad for Tekkin 7.

i hope this actually gets gay at some point. it'd be a real shame if it didnt.

Whoop, whoop! Chapter five is finally here!
But i'm only gonna read it next week cause i wanna savour my four favourite Yuri(ish) manga and i already read Sinmai... today :p

I like the way the match was written, really felt just like how an actual fighting game match goes. Mino won the match straight up by practicing the game nonstop, playing it the right way, and thinking about what she was doing, rather than having a ridiculous talent or secret technique reveal itself at the last minute. ZTT getting realistically shaken up and salty after losing a round was a nice touch.
This is possibly the most sport-accurate sports manga I've ever seen.

She won the fighting game battle, but we're clearly losing the yuri war here.

The mindgames are real.
This girl is a monster.

Those faces. XD

Plot twist: ZTT and Shijou are really scrubs who go 0-2 at locals, and Mino won by mashing buttons ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

... that said, I'll be waiting patiently for the yuri.

This manga went to the Fluttering Feelings school of developing Yuri romance.

Nice, a new character will appear
