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

I present you to LOW SELF ESTEEM

ONORE DIKEI EHEM NOT THAT KINNIKUUU!!! AGAIN MESSING WITH US!

If that's the case, then WTF are there so many posts about Rio? It seems like, to the readers, many of whom don't understand the concept of the relationship between Yuriko and Matoi and think Matoi should have gotten together with Rio, someone she NEVER expressed any romantic interest in, Rio was one of the main characters...

And it doesn't matter anyway, because Matoi makes a romantic confession to Yuriko, who gives that confession due consideration before answering her and also telling Matoi that she loves her, but not in a romantic way, but she still wants to stay by her side if she'll have her.

I'm not sure if I was misunderstood, or if I'm not getting right what you're saying, but I never meant that this was not yuri, I was only saying that it is yuri because of Matoi and not because of Rio (which in the end proved to be my misunderstanding regarding the use of the tags anyway, but that's been cleared up by now.)

I totally get what you're saying about Rio though. So many people kept saying that she deserved better (which isn't exactly wrong, her last appearance was a bit sad) or that Matoi should have gotten together with her, but I bet not one person would complain if we had a male character in the exact same position. And really, the story was never about her anyway. People always latch onto the secondary characters, sometimes even forgetting that they're supposed to have nothing more than a supporting role in the story it seems, but only when they're women who have expressed some sort of interest in other women. And if a guy even dares to make an appearance—let alone confess to one of the leads—they almost always get a wave of insults and undeserved hate.

Edit: For the record, I am not a straight guy. Just to avoid having anyone thinking that's why I'm complaining.

Hell no, if Rio was a guy i wouldnt have a problem with it except the stolen kiss part since im not a fan of them either be a woman or a man who performs it if anything, iwould ask even more for him to get a better ending since i almost NEVER see a good male character getting justice in Yuri works, im not even saying it should have to get with the mc, just something like:
-"Hey we still friends with matoi even after these years"
or
-"Hey its been a while matoi, hows my life? Its fine, oh I present you to ***** she is my GF!"
or
-"Hey im still single but enjoying my life and still keeping in contact with matoi"

Even a sliiiiight mention would have sufficed cause believe it or not, ppl can get attached to secondary characters and she actually had a likeable personality and helped Matoi which makes her even more likeable
... Even the dude of the gas station got a closure! Btw im grateful of that xd

Ya get me?

Perv

Look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Nirvana or Foo Fighters, but

Loads shotgun

Yes?

Im disgusted yet intrigued

Yatsude besto character

You cant change my mind

I guess I'm asking what an asexual romantic relationship looks like.

Romantic feelings without a sexual element to them, we desire close companionships that you don't get from just a friend.

I think Pieta kind of hits close to what I'd consider an asexual romantic relationship.

I once asked a friend if he had to separate the romantic and sexual elements of his relationship, what would go where? And surprisingly he put things like cuddling, hugs and handholdings in the romantic part, tbh i didnt even expected him to mention them to begin with... tho the reason he gave was "its something i wanna do with her all the time but its not exciting enough to make me wanna do it just from it alone hahahaha..." the answer was longer than that but i think this was the only part that matters

So maybe there is that...

It may be quite the haha now but Eve can basically have a mental breakdown bc of the clash btw her desire to protect Elsa and her own self, she doesnt enjoy hurting her nor she wants things to end bad for her and both choices are bad so hoo boy she has it rough

When you get NTR'd by a Dog :v

Idk but the lil girl looks sus

Reading all the comments i think we all can agree that Rio got played very dirty XD damn poor girl

Ok... I usually like stories that makes me think but bruh this one made my head hurt trying to understand how it works, and quite my heart hurt too bc of Rio, only there as a plot device just to be heartbroken and thrown away... I cant say i didnt saw that end coming but i would have liked a bit more development... Yeah i guess this is just the way it is but still... Damn.

Yeah, I really feel that. Especially since it'd really push forward the idea that Yuriko can actually trust being in the same apartment as Matoi without being worried about her making any advancements. And since it just would be more convenient for the both of them for a number of reasons. Like this, it feels like she can't trust being in the same room as her, despite it being a major plot point earlier that she does.

Edit: and yeah i agree with this

TRY TO SAY NO THAT FACE! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU MF

Never understood why so many people seem to hate Manaria. I like her quite a bit (I actually like her more that Lily)

Her character is just too convinient

Asexuals and/or aromantic people sometimes get into whats called a queer platonic relationship, or qtp for short. It's somewhat between a friendship and a romantic relationship where sex or kissing doesn't neccisarliy have to happen, though It varies from individual to individual.

Pretty sure this is where the story is leaning towards.

That... Sounds like BF to me... Call me stubborn or something along the lines but im putting my brain to work to find the place where that qpr could exist while being different and a more than a BF relationship and less than a romantic relationship and i cant find it, else the deciding factor could be the sexual aspect but... I still dont understand how that works and im reaaaallly trying

(TL;DR for the below, it's a term that exists because it can be used to describe relationships that don't usually get given much of society's brain-space.)

This is basically the way I expect most people to react to the idea so don't worry about it too much if it just doesn't ever make sense. It might just be something that's impossible to grasp if it's not something you intuitively understand....

My sister is aro/ace and I myself am demi, and everything you said sounds spot on to how she's described having a QP relationship to me (she's the one who really helped introduce me to the ace spectrum), so I'd say you did a damn good job explaining it.

Ok..... Now im ANNOYED, not bc of the explanation nice explanation btw, good structure, thanks and sorry to take your time to write it but bc i reaaaaaaaalllly CANT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING THAT FCKING LOOKS SIMPLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! This will hunt me for weeks....

Don't think this means you've won, Yoshioka!

KOREDE KATTA TO OMOU NAYO YOSHIOKA!

I can't really enjoy this manga because I feel like the MC is rushing ahead with her feelings like she's desperate to find someone. Hasn't she known sensei only for a week?

It makes me uncomfortable because some of my gay friends have been in similar situations and ultimately gotten themselves hurt.

Also yeah, she was cute before but her "city girl" look is very hard to take seriously.

First sight love buddy, + she is just a teenager, you gotta give her some time

I think we often forget that they are also other relationships we can have than just friendship and romantic relations. Just being connected to a very deep level without having to be sexually attracted to each other is also a very beautiful thing and this manga portraits it very nicely!

Like what? We have:
Parental
Fraternal
Romantic
Friendship and its derivates which funnily includes sexual relationships too

And honestly i cant even call their relation the typical "more than friends and less than lovers"

At this point theyre just BFF and with the way Yuriko is currently i dont see a future where theyre more than that xd

Is it possible to be Asexual but still wanna seggs your gf? Or maybe they just haven't found the thing that actually makes her 'tick' if that makes sense. Regardless, it's always nice seeing a couple that really and truly love each other

She is not asexual tho, she got the tic when she got seduced so maybe she just has it harder than others

It was a bad idea to read the comment section with a headache...

Mikage's really elevating this series for me? Like, it was pretty neat based on the premise alone, but Mikage's introduction largely serves as the key into the deeper aspects of the setting and world, offering us just a glimpse of an older, stranger side of Japan whispered of in folklore and passed down in hushed voices, a realm of midnight figures and liquid shadows, of tricksters dancing under moonlight and monsters swapping yarns round mountain fires. I also love how it does ultimately tie back into the central theme of alcohol, the spirits that go into spirits, the things you can only see when inebriation blurs the lines between dreams, imagination, reality and Something Else. Each sip of the tale brings you closer to strangeness, to the fluid, undefined and unrestrained, to a point where chains of all kinds melt off and the world coheres via incoherence, swirling into a freedom that accepts everything- Naori's desire to be loved and to spread happiness, Hinata's desire to fly free and transcend her limitations, and Mikage's will to fully become herself, not just the oni as a shadowy beast, but the oni as a people, in all their traditions of unrestrained exultation, honesty and courage, which the curse has impeded them from embracing. So yeah, I'm really interested in what the story's going to do with Mikage, because I think there's a lot of potential to explore the oni not just as a stereotypical group of monsters who just want to be like Everyone Else or an analogue for a big, oppressive noble family that Hinata has to escape to pursue her dreams, but as an entire culture, a vast and diverse group with their own history both parallel to and separate from that of Human Japan. I'm not really concerned with the shipping part, but I just hope the giant, proud oni lady gets at least a couple chapters wherein she stalks down starlit roads in places beyond civilization and communes with phantoms from ages forgotten. I'd also love if we got more characters like her, because there's a certain Touhou-ness to this premise with its mixing of the ancient and modern in smoky cocktails that I think would really bring out the story's full potential.

We need a shrine maiden also :v
