Read a manga recently called Nemuru Baka, but couldn’t find a general manga discussion thread, so just want to write something here to vent frustration.
It was released in 2006, which is ancient in term of acceptance of yuri in mainstream. Hence the story ending was frustrating as heck. Hope to God that we will not go back to that dark age again.
But in summary, it started as a SoL of a pair of college dorm mate kouhai - senpai. The senpai kept claiming that she has no interest in guys, but only in her music career. Toward the end, the senpai moved out to pursue her music career. Timeskip 1 year later, the senpai had a huge debut, invite the kouhai to watch her live, and then suddenly throw half of her career out of the window, singing the song that the kouhai inspired her to compose (called Nemuru Baka - Sleeping idiot), before running away from stage.
And the author just to twist the knife a bit deeper, having the ending of the kouhai sorta referring to the senpai as her ex.
That was the sort of things us yuri fan have to deal with just 10 years ago. So think of ourselves lucky that nowadays director does not avoid happy subtext ending like a plague anymore,
