For what we know, Aoyama may even be non-binary.

As I always say when non-binary and trans stuff comes up... always assume the more likely case, which is that they are cis binary and probably straight until proven otherwise. There is no reason to jump to extremes unless the tagging or genre enables it. It's not unexpected for people to see lesbians everywhere in a yuri manga, but it makes little sense to assume they are around in most straight shows.

The same applies for non-binary people. There is really no good reason to think they would be relevant here.
With the only argument as usual being "you can't proof they aren't one" for now.

Or an alien for all we know.

So how does this stack up against Wife and Wife and Chatting at the Amber Teahouse?

It's not that I'm totally against it, but the syndrome of romance comics have everyone pair up ... including the grandmother's dog ... is kinda trite ^^

I'd say. You sure ain't cracking your crockery.

It's one of those tropes that's older than the deluge, I think. In TV Tropes, they list it among the Older than Dirt tropes. That is, tropes from before the alphabet was invented. Every girl in this manga will probably be paired up with someone (another girl, if at all possible) before the series is concluded.

Well if you expect Yukari, they are pretty much all by pair. At least for those who had screentime.

Well if you except Yukari, they are pretty much all by pair. At least for those who had screentime.

Hm, there's Natsuki too... unless we're shipping her with her brother Mizuki? They'd be cute together, but the pairing would be kinda incest-y.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :P

I uave this nagging feeling that FBI came to your house within 10 minutes of you commenting that.

Incest aside... that would be a horrible fate for Mizuki.

Personally I ship Mizuki with the highschool teacher.

...did they even interact once?

If we talk about the one with glasses then yes. When Kasumi and Sakurako went flower viewing in the school, nearly everyone come andwhen the students ask the teachers about having a sip of a beer,he said no and told to Mizuki it was the same for him and Mizuki to reply he have no interest.

Well, it's the only interaction i remember.

I'm honestly surprised you remembered that at all.
If those are the choices Mizuki's got, might as well stay single.

I mostly remember this because Mizuki said no one will be dumb enough to drink here while Sakurako get drunk on whiskey bonbons and start to kiss Kasumi.

Eh, it was okay. I told them about "1 x ½" and how I shipped Asuka x Ayako as well, and they ran away in terror.

The FBI ran in terror when you told them that? What are you? Talinight?

Feh. Those thuggish government types are always pussies. They can't stand paradigm shifts. Challenge their prejudices, and...

That. XD

No, just joking. I stretched the truth a bit. What actually happened was this:

(ding dong)

Me: (go to door, open, see buncha FBI thugs with guns)

FBI thugs: "Surpri-ise! We're the FBI! So you thought you could read yuri manga and get away with it? Not under President Trump's watch, you won't! Haw haw! You're under arrest, lesbian slut!"

Me: "No, I'm not, because this isn't the USA. In this country, you have no authority to arrest anyone. In this country, you're just a bunch of clowns."

FBI thugs: (in a whiny voice) "What!? But but... we have guns! Some guy in Dynasty forum said that we could do anything if we have guns!"

Me: "Nope. Looks like you were bamboozled. Rule of law says I can read whatever I want, and no jackbooted thug can stop me. You bullyboys and your guns don't belong here. Why don't you make like a tree and leave?"

FBI thugs: (turn around and leave, bawling like babies, never to return)

I admit I never tried Dogbert's method. But it probably works. :P

I hope you will prove your flexible superiority to their guns soon.

^That quip about all power growing from the muzzles of rifles (idr whether it's Lenin or Mao that one's attributed to) is also a profound observation on the fundamental basis of sovereignty and the rule of law, after all.

Please don't raise my hopes of a fellow left-wing anti-statist being on this site.

I aim to please.

Absolutely, by Bismarck's mustache, better to be alone than to be jerked around by a sibling endlessly.

Especially considering the sibling in question.

Do we need a flame war about Red Guard and right wing death squads, or are we backing down from this game of chicken?

More like a dispute between people who love yuri and people who love big macho-man thugs in uniform wielding phallic symbols.

Show them MakaMaka, the hottest thing around, their pitiful guns will melt

Or, rather, they will droop and go all flaccid and limp.

Then you will tell them: yonic powah, bitches!

Sheesh keep your phallic fantasies out of this please.
Also guns really arent very phallic. Unless that's some rare disease...
