Queer baiting? Queer baiting.
Good to know I won't have to expect something then.
...it's at 3 published chapters right now. Are you people wasting your supernatural oracle talents to look into the future and see how ongoing yuri series end or are you just taking the piss because you're jaded and want to sound smart? No yuri marriage with science baby in 3 chapters? Fucking dropped!
Look, it doesn't take supernatural powers to see the pattern.
Yuri Hime: Hey mr. Mangaka-san we need someone to fill 30+ pages per issue.
Mangaka-san: Actually, I have laid the plot for a videogames manga for this other editor and I don't think...
Yuri Hime: That sounds interesting. Cute girls doing shit is en vogue.
Mangaka-san: But I don't know the first thing about yuri!
Yuri Hime: Doesn't matter, just make them blush a lot when talking to each other. In fact it doesn't have to be both, just one of them is fine.
Mangaka-san: I don't know...
Yuri Hime: It doesn't need any development, really. Your deadline for something yuri related to happen is from last half to last quarter of the final chapter. If you get cancelled we have this many generic scenarios so you can finish the series. The ones with several pages of bubbly and sparkly text and a final black page with a big "I love you." in pretty letters always make me chuckle.
Mangaka-san: Whoah! And you can get away with it?
Yuri Hime: Except for a few well known yuri mangakas none really repeats doing yuri. It is as if our readers are already expecting half of our issues to be a disappointment. No one is going to blame you or us if your manga flops.
Mangaka-san: That's sad...
Yuri Hime: It will allow you to show off your skills, think of something better than an otaku manga about videogames and pay the bills for a while. And we always have bagels at editor meetings. What do you say?
Mangaka-san: SOLD!
Probably...
