I see your point Abdyn01, but nothing kills this feeling that even if there were 10 more chapters, even a kiss would be too much for this work... Because the history goes like "X girl loves Y girl, Y girls love A girl, A Girl likes C girl, C Girl likes X girl and there's another girl but it doesn't matter anymore" Because the mangaka at the end wanted an open ending without much details... So this feels like "moe up the butt" .
I feel the opposite, like the manga being cut short changed it quite a lot. There were more and more character monologues about love and jealousy. There was clearly character drama building up on multiple fronts, including the budding romantic. And just as it got going, it simply ended. This manga is definitely a victim of business circumstances. I don't think it would have gotten overly romantic, but I also think that it was developing very nicely into a slightly romantic series, with a bit of drama but not forgetting its lighthearted atmosphere.
Not that there's anything wrong with a simple iyashikei manga about smiles and hugging. In fact I don't think I would have wanted this series to get much more dramatic than it was getting before the last chapter. We can get that from a bunch of other series.
Why I don't buy yuri hime? I can give explanations but at the end is all excuses, everyone could at least buy one friggin manga in their lifetime, maybe I don't have the right to complain but if only those who support the manga can discuss about it, all forums would die, and yes I know that's not what you meant to say but...
People are allowed to discuss whatever they want. It's not complaints about the work as a whole I'm talking about but those complaining about the terrible cop-out ending or whatever. The problem is when a whole community has absolutely no interest in the production side of things. I get that's not the "fun" part of being a fan. It doesn't dull the pain of a prematurely ended manga. But it does hopefully raise awareness of why annoying things happen in the industry, and particularly about what a HUGELY FRAGILE niche yuri is in "commercially viable" terms. i.e. not just doujin one-shots. We'll always have those, but I really need something more.
As for me, I'm still really happy with the first 9 chapters of the manga. I'll just treat it as an unfinished work... which is really is. Not so different, in some ways, from the countless manga that never receive full scanslations. it's like they just disappear into a hole. Sad, but the unavoidable pain of being into manga, it seems. =/
