So, it is safe to assume, I guess, that in another world those two would have kissed right now. I'm expecting tons of fanart and doujinshi to actually depict it.... Anyone? Pls? (Or I'll have to do it myself, and you don't want that :p)

theyve kissed once already

So much for all the talk about what would never happen in the series ^^;

Although it might not happen. But if that's not an implication of feelings returned I don't know what is.

is the taboo aspect wat makes yuri interesting in the first place for you guys?
i wonder if in the future it won’t be as special

I'm sure for everyone it's a little different. As for me, I avoid gratuitously sexual stuff; it's romance that interests me. The kinds of stories I like, where the characters seem to form a deeper, more emotional connection in the end, seem more common in yuri.

If the taboo aspect come into it at all, it's that traditional romance stories are more like a battle between the two characters, where one tries to wear down the other's defenses; whereas, the characters in yuri fight together to overcome the common foe of society's prejudices. Which one do you think sounds like a healthier recipe for a long-term relationship? (In Their Story, it's a little of a mix.)

In that sense, it's not merely being taboo that makes the story interesting, but that being taboo sets a framework which provides for a more interesting story. So, yes, I do believe it may be less special in the future. Though, probably not in my lifetime. Sadly.

I love yuri because I really like the different dynamic that it brings to a story. So much het stuff is the generic guff that I see countless times and am kind of tired of at this point. When it's two women in love they seem to play off each other differently than if it's a typical woman/man or man/woman romance.

You know some of us are like... lesbians right? like IDK about everyones else reasons, but for some its pretty obvious that they just don't find het romances appealing because they aren't het or it is just that they find both interesting. Girl romance dynamics are also different, like someone else said, which can make it more interesting.

Do you think lesbian romance is comparable to that of gay guys?

I have lesbian relatives and none of their relationships are rosy/enviable like in these stories, especially the older ones. It’s just so much better in 2D.

So I've had this series on hold for a while, is it still stuck in limbo?

I... are you of the impression that this is different for het romance/hentai? Sometimes there are realistic mangas or erotic stories, of the het or whatever variety, but they are few and far between.

Can anyone point to a realistic yuri romance? This one certainly isn't, there is about 8000% too little homophobia to take place anywhere near the real world.

Look for the depressing as fuck tag ^^;

(not that I think every real lesbian couple in Japan is living a life of misery; but I wouldn't want to deal with homophobia on top of the institutional sexism there)

Well... there's room in realism for something in-between cutesy romance and "depressing as fuck". This one is on the cutesy side, but not that far from the real world.

I think something like Octave seemed pretty close to the real world. A one-off thing actually turning into a relationship, in a stumbling, 2-steps-forward-1-step-back sort of way.

Taboo can add a little spice sometimes, but honestly it becomes tiresome really fast. I'm in it for girls liking girls, given that I'm a girl who likes girls myself. I can identify with the romantic feelings.

I have lesbian relatives and none of their relationships are rosy/enviable like in these stories, especially the older ones. It’s just so much better in 2D.

By counterpoint, I have known a number of older lesbians with just fine relationships who don't run into extreme homophobia at every turn. And younger ones too.

Yesyes, but we were talking about mangas in general (or at least that was my understanding) and this and Beloved aside it's all Japan.
