Fuck I'm depressed this got cancelled. It had such a good premise and was actually interesting and funny. Everything good never lasts long and then we get garbage like nanashi no asterism lasting 5 volumes and getting localized. God dammittt
Joke on you, Vampiress Lord get localized in France. I actually own the 3 volumes.
i mean i'm not surprised, france is the western culture that loves anime/manga the most lol but also it doesn't change how disappointing the fact that it got cancelled. we'll never know how the story was really supposed to go.
You will be surprise that there is not that much Yuri out there in France. Even if i combine both "Shojo-ai" and Yuri, i should be at nearly 60 works and most of them where late 2000-early 2010. Althought it's seem that got a good list published lately, Even though we ara adult and Luminous=Blue just to name a few.
Edit : Just to compare Yaoi in France count 265 works.
That's the Yaoi vs Yuri breakdown everywhere. There are 6x more Yaoi titles on Amazon in the US than Yuri. There's 10x more Yaoi entries on Mangadex vs Yuri last I checked. Looking at Webtoons or Tapas or other sources of global stories, their front pages are plastered with BL in all their popular lists. GL never makes it there except for insanely rare exceptions like Mage & Demon Queen (and it is mostly because it has broad appeal as a comedy work).
Heck, just look at this series as proof. A proven author of a popular Yaoi series (Prunus Girl) branched out into Yuri and despite the success of his previous Yaoi work, his Yuri series gets cancelled immediately, while his Yaoi series gets to finish.
It makes me really salty knowing how niche Yuri is compared to Yaoi, especially when I love the first so much and don't understand the appeal of the latter (though for me sexuality is obviously part of this).
But... that's a bit off-topic. I'm really happy this got uploaded here. I absolutely love this series, and I will re-read it over and over in the years to come, I'm sure.
