In Japan it is illegal to have hormones or surgery for being transgender if you are under 21

I'm guessing people can skirt the law by having procedures done outside of the country.

Also, I don't see any direct, explicit evidence for this story to take place in a particular country (or point in time).

Last but not least, it's a fictional narrative.

Most popular is Thailand, given it's close relative proximity to Japan, not to mention being trans capital of the world.

Um... Uh... Ehhh?

Maybe the "cop" is actually her girlfriend and they're into that kinky roleplay.

Didn't someone actually theorize that when the chapter was first released?

If that theory holds, we're gonna get a Love Triangle where Molester-san and her "cop" girlfriend are together, but little sister likes big sister Molester-san, but can't have her, so little sister ends up actually heartbroken, nice other girl consoles her, and they come a pairing.

when the molester comes back she'll probably hook up with little sis, but what about the girl who had sex with the little sis? who will hook up with her?

@gwennie-chan Interesting analysis of yuri and shoujo ai although I somewhat disagree with your assertion that westerners use the term to mean "light yuri". To me separating types of yuri is pointless, and I label all female/female romance/sexuality as yuri.

As for this doujin, I found it quite cute and well worth the read.

True. Which is why I label it "sapphic" in general. However, just because some Westerners don't separate the terms doesn't mean that the separation is by-and-large a Western-only thing.

only old yuri fans who's fine with het and bisexuality like it I guess

And once again, while not going into liking/disliking, this is also something that does not stand, not really. There is no het or bisexuality depicted, apart from a passing mention about Miyuki's arranged marriage (and she is not even one of the main characters). That is literally it. I think that you are reading too much into what Gwennie wrote, at least regarding the het/bisexuality thing. She was just making an assumption. Similarly, I could also assume, given how over-the-top-gay-and-no-one-bats-an-eye the show is (since it is basically a parody of series like Marimite), this all takes place in an alternate reality where gay is the norm, and people like Miyuki's parents are in the minority.

Yeah I'm making a reasonable assumption that is pretty much the only way for those girls in Japan, then and now. Western views heavily discount the weight of societal duty found in Asian and other communal cultures. Feelings don't really mean anything. You're expected to get married (het), have children, and/or work yourself to death. Many modern Japanese are bucking this tradition, but much of that is because of the economic culture of Japan currently, just like how Millennial birthrates so far are underwhelming in the US. Societal duty gives fuck all about your feelings or orientation. You are expected to do your societal duty regardless if you want to or not, and for many well-to-do families, this comes with a conform or be cut off message.

is it even yuri? I see nothing but shoujo ai tho

Same thing. Yuri is the original and official term for all girlxgirl stuff. From what I recall, shoujo ai is just a term coined by the west to signify a lesbian relationship that focuses more on the platonic and "chaste" type of relationship while outright avoiding the explicit and steamy lesbian realtionships. If we were to go by western standards, then Strawberry Panic would probably be considered shoujo ai as most of the relationships there are sisterly and "chaste," with characters kissing and hugging each other but nothing more. That is, assuming I'm remembering Strawberry Panic correctly. Been years since I last watched the anime adaption.

Yeah, that's pretty much it: the Japanese term for the female equivalent to 少年愛 "shounen ai" would be ガールズラブ "girls love" (yeah, literally). Paradoxically, "*shoujo ai*" is the English term for "*girls love*". In Japan, 少女愛 "shoujo ai" is a specific subgenre of lolicon porn: straight sex between an adult man and an underage girl.

In addition, the Western preoccupation with separating what you call it by "purity" is because of a couple reasons. Chiefly, breaking "shoujo-ai" (sfw) and "yuri" (nsfw) has two different delineations:

• Separating sexual from non-sexual. This is done for a couple reasons in-and-of itself: Specializing between sapphic romance and sapphic sex. Firstly, breaking apart "pure, wholesome" girl-girl (S-Class) love and "dirty, immoral" girl-girl sex (lesbianism) because love is love and sex is sex. Secondly is an obvious reason, considering most societies have some sexual taboo that states preconditions for sexual activity and one of the biggest of them is privacy - behind closed doors. It's why Exhibitionism (while natural) is a fetish in its own right. Which is why NSFW material is marked, banned, separated, or otherwise delineated on most websites.
• Non-overlapping feelings/interests. What this means is in Japan, and many others societies, non-het romance and sexuality are disconnected. Most societies assume that if you're into the other gender (Het) it includes both romantic and sexual feelings, but if you're into the same gender (Yuri/Yaoi) you're either into romance or sexuality - that is asexual homoromanticism or aromantic hyper-homosexuality. Generally, queer desire is seen as the latter category. This awful (and wrong) stereotype and belief still pervades most societies that have some queer awareness (note: "awareness" not "understanding"). This trope is so strongly represented that many right-wing political figures still preach that queer romance and sexuality shouldn't be accepted because to them it's just a super sexual fetish that goes outside of moral acceptability - regardless if focused on cis queer or trans queer (like TERFs and the like argue).

There's another difference I'd like to mention regarding this, Japan uses a bifurcated system. One symbol/genre indicates the general type of work and another symbol/rating indicates its lewdness/adult nature. So while Japan has Yuri and separates them by rating system (G, PG-12, R-15, R-18), in similar way to western movies, the western shoujo-ai/yuri difference has integrated the rating system into the two terms. So what a Japanese person would indicate as G/PG-12 Yuri, a westerner would call it shoujo-ai, while what Japan considers R-15/R-18, a westerner would consider to be yuri.

From what I have heard, in the novels, all of the girls in Strawberry Panic! get married to men after graduation, but that needs verified

A lot of that does occur, after all that's the whole purpose of Astrea Hill. I mean the whole thing is set up to be a combination of education and isolation. As I wrote in my TvTropes yuri analysis essay, "Many of the girls-only Elaborate University High boarding academies prominent in traditional yuri are essentially Rich People housewife incubators for ojous that have heterosexual marriages lined up after graduation."

Oh damn. Those Het Rape vibes just ewww.

Fluffy yuri. Yay <3

Recommended Prequel because it's both got Prequel subsections as well as Sequel ones.

Cute, smutty, well-paced, and gay as hell. Good job, sensei.

Or perhaps the manager did the hand-holdies in their sleep and doesn't remember it.

Which is why you should just use git itself.

Yeah but Git's commandline only isn't it? I was using Mercurial specifically because it's a GUI. Really shouldn't need to be limited to commandline only for something like this.

What OS? Because the main Git package includes a GUI for Windows and you can get tons of various Git GUI packages on Linux. The main Git website also links to many different Git GUIs available.

Holy hell is Mercurial infuriating as shit to actually get to cooperate when it comes to Github. I went and fixed a few minor issues on the Thingifier (quick quote cancel not clearing the text field and the unread posts link not appearing on series and anthology pages) and it wouldn't let me push the changes to Github because of gwennie-chan's outstanding merge request which I hadn't accepted due to the fact it still has a kinda major bug related to the own posts link never showing up. And of course after that even closing the request didn't allow me to push the changes as per usual when Mercurial starts erroring out. Luckily I found out I could manually update the file directly on Github I guess. Really irritating that this is even an issue though.

Which is why you should just use git itself.

Honestly, Nezchan, many things (like the Netflix LGBTQ collection) that involves sapphic women often results in them going back to their predestined male lover. Either that or their female lover gets sick and dies.

I haven't tried nightly, but it works for me on FF 56 and 57. Was it working for you before the update to the script?

The old version before partially worked, but displayed the wrong link colors and was incomplete.
