It’s an online forum if you want a private convo take it to dms

You're right, this is an online forum, and that means there are rules.
This is your only warning to stop being an asshole to others, especially over semantics.
If you do not like this work, then move on and let others who want to enjoy it do so.

Who is being an asshole? Not me. I responded as an ass to 2 people who were assholes to me/didn't agree with me in a rude way(see were not strawmanning, were ignoring cuz ur opinions are worthless - and you didnt warn them) But I can see that you don't like my opinion and so just want me to shut up. I am not "being rude to people about the semantics of yuri" I had an opinion on the quality of the yuri in the manga, and so wanted to warn other people. I very much enjoyed volume 1, read volume 2, started getting a bit weirded out by the sudden injection of new cast members and the push of the couple into the background, and then i took a break. Reread the whole series a few days ago, and came to inform others like me(who read yuri for yuri) that it isn't exactly yuri, but more sapphic tinged rock manga.

So NOW You Say you are reading a queer story
But before you sayed author Is baiting
Just becouse author want Explore other character and how they interact with the protagonist doesn't mean Is not gone be gay or as you Say yuri

And for God sake don't use Yuri tag as arm and Yuri SHOULD BE ONLY THIS WAY SO THIS MANGA ITS NOT
ehieee Yuri tag as shonen seinen ecc are only used for target refeerement doesn't impone the way to tell the story

Loved Aya's blush on the third page.

(& yes, I do realise that, at that point, she didn't know the guy she was interested in wasn't a man)

I can't imagine an anime adaptation doing anything at all for this series, tbh. If anything a live action adaptation is far more likely, but even then the comic's structure of very brief glimpses into their lives would completely clash with a tv show format. It would basically have to be a remake of the story more than just an adaptation.

In the case of the CD Drama they did a pretty good job "filling" the spaces between the chapters. I don't know if "adaptation" is a good word for it since they didn't changed the principal focus and lines, but they added some little but nice dialogues that "completed" the story for it to flow and not just cut where the chapters did. Yes, they changed some things in order of when they happened but again, didn't change the important things.

All this to say that yes, and anime is going to be a more difficult task but if they could pull something like de the CD Drama, it could~~ be possible, but with it's duration.....it's has to be well done or an anime of 15 min maybe, not a full 30 min or so. That is my opinion~

Sorry for the late post, but Dynasty's upload system was broken until a little while ago.

No apologies necessary--deeply grateful for your work.

(I couldn't help jumping the gun--I agree with Kanna that they were just too adorbs.)

tbh, I twisted the meaning a bit. The original thought of Kanna was something like "yooouth!", but I thought it lacked impact. So I made it cuter

Ohh! I did like it. I think it made a good parallel with the first panel when Aya called her a goddess to then her calling the girls angels, if that makes sense

awww

but I agree too. It'd be too disjointed for anything but a drama or OVA. OVA would work, really well mind you, especially in green. But this one is way more designed for a drama where it doesn't need to be smooshed since you'd let the city aesthetics do the rest of the work

Is this the first time they sleep together (no sex, but I still count!) or I have missed seeing that numerous times?

Nope. It already happened once during the school trip, ch56.

While I was listening to the drama CD, I realized that the biggest barrier to making a good anime (or live-action drama) out of this is probably music licensing. The background music on the drama CD includes all your hit favorites from gunge bands like Nibana and alternate rock bands like the UFO Fighters, which is to say it's bland name stuff that sounds vaguely like songs from some of bands namechecked in the manga. A huge part of the charm of the manga is the specificity of the girls being super into bands that were at their peak decade(s) before they were born (believe me, writing that out hurt me more than you), and without that, it's less compelling.

Format-wise, I think it would work pretty well as a set of super-short minute-long episodes like I'm Kodama Kawashiri, especially if they kept the manga's color scheme and used highly stylized (maybe rotoscoped low framerate?) animation.

That's cool and all, but does anyone actually care for these minute-long episodes series? (I would totally watch it tho)

I care in the moment but they tend to be very forgettable.

They could name drop and reference the bands and albums without necessarily playing them. The only music that absolutely to be played at length is the stuff that Mitsuki makes, no? Otherwise it might be enough to license at most two or three dad rock songs for the most important moments.

I liked I'm Kodama Kawashiri enough to buy the Blu-ray+book of the series from Japan and hand-remux the English subtitles into it, so yeah, people do. There's something about a really good OP + the way a short episode can really let a capable voice actor cut loose (which Aoi Yuuki takes full advantage of in that series) that makes those kinds of series unique. And the slightly longer series like Play It Cool, Guys, where it's a few minutes of concentrated sitcom energy, are also really good. They feel like they really are the animated equivalent of 4-komas or Twitter comics.

Maybe, but someone will blink in chapter 182 ;)
