A little OT but, these last chapters reminded me why I normally hate the sœur system: it's a very heteronormative way of dealing with yuri relationships. It denies girls romantic feeling and forces them into a pseudo-sisterhood that's supposed to last until graduation.
In the end, it's just a cheap way of making a yuri story without actually committing to it.

I'm so glad these kinda stuff got phased out in the years and nowadays we can have ACTUAL sapphic love represented.

/ Boomer rant over.

This manga isn't that interesting when it focuses too much on the others relationships tbh

Every time someone said "sister" or "sisterhood" this chapter I was struck with a vivid reminder of why I'm glad this genre is basically religated to the domain of satire.

I have the strong impression that the “soeur” system trope is always ultimately a reference to/takeoff on Marimite; i.e., something that isn’t taken as really existing in real life or even as a trope independent of its specific textual origin. The fact that the second major use of the trope, Strawberry Panic, is pretty clearly a Marimite parody/piss take (as well as homage) suggests that the trope’s risible underpinnings were clear from the start.

I mean, the “two girls meet cute when the senpai straightens the kouhai’s tie” trope can be deployed seriously once; after that it’s a reference, probably accompanied by implicit or explicit snickering.

I must be misremembering marimite (which seems to be one of the most popular example of this trope, though there was also Onisame E, and few others), but these were very gay, just with the understanding that "hey, we have to pretend to be normal and this is how we do it"

"If the heart thumping gets found out and Yoshioka falls in love with me our feeling for each other would be mutual and we'll end up becoming yuri..."

Oh no

Why is this raging lesbian so opposed to becoming yuri anyway? Just kiss already.

Is their relationship going to be the only real yuri one? I feel like all the others are part of the sœur system and are playing a role that Watanabe interprets in a yuri way, but since Yoshioka and Watanabe are not sisters in the system, then whatever develops between them can't have that ambiguity.

It's the whole focus on the passing of the torch. Modelling a lesbian relationship as sisterhood is, eh, I guess, but the way graduation plays into it kills the yuri dead.
