For me at least I don’t care if she is dead or not because I think that isn’t the point or what it is important here. She freed herself, she went there as they promised, she can now live.
I also like tragedy so it’s more romantic and to my taste if the gf is dead lol

Need more from this author, their art style is so beautiful, like they would draw the best porn

I went to their twitter and they do have more yuri but not porn which surprised me because their style is very hentai-like

Again I don’t know if this one was trully axed, but assuming it was, yes I suppose it didn’t sell, it was published in a online seinen magazine, there are other yuri there like Kaguhara's Fetish Notebook, but most of the stuff in that magazine has ecchi, maybe he would have had better luck in Yuri Hime, but he has never worked in a Yuri magazine

I think yuri by itself is cursed, I guess if you want to make money, just do het slob, furry oder yaoi.

The world of manga doesn't work like that lol They are paid for manuscript, contrary to what people believe, it's one of the worst paid works, manuscript for yuri and bl are one of the lowest. If for example your manga gets turned into a movie or anime, mangakas are paid a license fee. Basically, they do not receive constant payments. Also, quite funny that people always bring up het or yaoi and not like seinen or shonen, which are better pay and sell far more. There is a interview with the creator of Kaguya-sama about this, and even he is underpaid. It’s similar to animators.

Noo why this isn’t a original work, the sex is so good

I want to know if this was really axed or is it another case of speculation because everyone wanted it to be more long

the art is really nice, not too moe but not too old-school.

It actually is old-school, just not yuri old-school. The author is a yaoi artist, and it shows, lol. Long arms, large hands with long fingers, long faces with sharp features, particularly the sharp chins, it gives a rather stereotypically masculine appearance (in terms of manga looks) to the characters. Mind you, I dig this, it is good stuff.

3 Years later, but Renmei is not a yaoi artist lol. This work is from 2018, there is not a year of publication but 5 years ago (2020) another yuri one-shot by her was scanned, her first and only yaoi work is from 2021. The characteristic you are describing, long arms, long fingers and sharp features are typical of shojo and most genres derived from it. Before Yuru Yuri and its moe impact to this day on the genre, most yuri also had those characteristics as one can seen in most stories in the old-school tag

I am sorry but it’s really fun that this comment

“Was I the only one getting the vague impression that coworker was originally planning on walking into the sea before finding a new girlfriend”

Was posted right below this one

“it's really refreshing in a genre like yuri which tends to lean dramatic or idealized.”

I will never understand how the lack of STDs in (fictional)porn is something that people care about, or the lack of hygiene-condoms, etc. lol

• Did I just read bestiality?

Yes lol that mixed with how manhuas censor pussies was so funny

I don’t care about anything else, I just want to see Shou-san and Shou-san having sex.

I loved it. We barely have stories like this. Yes, when you are mentally unwell, you are not 100% yourself, but that does not mean that everything is forgiven or that people have the obligation to stay and tolerate everything.
I actually think the author didn’t manage well the pace/rhythm of the story at the end, that is why it may feel weird or abrupt. Also, I think the no-crying to crying to no-crying happy face of qiangyi at the end may seem weird to some lol.
Very exited for this author next project because it is SF

Man I wish all yuri was like this. So glad for the To be continued

People who draw flat chested girls/women with big boobs to make them sexy are my enemies

I think her boobs are probably bigger in this doujin but Machu isn't flat in canon.

Nyaan is flat in canon though, and the artist accurately drew her as flat in this doujin. Personally I have no issues with the way the artist drew them, but ultimately to each their own lol

Oh I see, thank! She is not flat, it is a size that you can definitely expand. I don’t have any problem now lol
In my case, if I like a character I want to see that character being sexy, not a “standard sexy body” with the face of the character. Ironically I don’t have a problem with this when it comes to fanarts or gk, but with dj is a turn off

I really love the fact that she went to Nadeshiko as a form of self-harm, not because she loved her. And I like to think that she only loves Nadeshiko because she feels cornered and that no one else would be able to understand and accept her (that she is a -bad- girl). True love.
What I don’t like is the rope play being off-screen, the punishment scenes were too toned down to be honest, I wanted more sexy moments.

"Even though she's a girl" / "but we're both girls" bro I'm so tired of this trope in GL.
Like it's totally fine for women to fall in love with each other lady, this isn't the 1900s!
After like say the age of 12 or something I'm sure you know that lesbians exist, especially living in the modern world with access to mass media.
I wish those types of corny lines would go away from all yuri.

The comphet struggle is still real for many, and when I hear her say that I mainly think, I hope she takes a look at herself and her sexuality. I personally think it's realistic because everyone's road of self discovery is different.

I think they mean those specific lines and how they are generally presented. Instead of “but we are both girls” “even though she’s a girl” something like “am i attracted to a woman?” I suppose? Idk I like those lines or yuri with straight women lol

I don't get it, this isn't a trans manga. I think about wanting to be a woman and in a lesbian relationship all the time, but that doesn't make me trans.

Ask any of your guy friends how often they think about wanting to be women and/or want to be in a lesbian relationship.

But all of my closest friends are sapphic women.

Ask your father if he's ever wanted to be a woman. Ask a colleague or classmate. Ask anyone.

And then, If any of your sapphic friends are trans women, ask them how they knew.

I did, a few years ago, and the answers I got have helped me a lot and made me a much happier person.

What if I said I have only been raised by women, have women relatives, and sapphic cis women friends? Should I ask any men in the thread right now?

Create a “male” imaginary friend and ask “him”

I see a lot of japanese artists using the term and tag "bara" for a long time now. Even the rose as a symbol like the bear flag is used here in the western. So not so sure about it.

Yep, roses (bara) are associated with gay men in japan, but it has never been the name of the “genre” of comic/ilustration by them. This topic was also mentioned by him and its because they -gei komi artist- know it is a genre outside of Japan, its for marketable/exposure reasons, some even tag it with yaoi, to reach more people. It is similar to GL, people in Japan use it but its not the name of the genre (in Japan) and is barely used compared to Yuri.

Barazoku was a Bara magazine. The "yurizoku" was not a section, it was a term a editor from this magazine used in reference to the female readers for a letter column. they basically just called it "yuri" (lily) because it's another flower (bara = rose). as far as I know. he wasn't even necessarily referring to them as "lesbians" but from then on, a joke was formed of naming lesbian characters "Yuri" or something. No one is quite sure where the term came from, because it was mostly these obscure magazines and the doujin and fanzine cycles.

Bara has never been a genre in Japan (Gengoroh Tagame talked about this). Barazoku was a gay magazine, bara was used to refer to gay men (that is why the magazine was called Bara(rose)zoku(tribe)) but then became a “slur” similar to pansy in english. What we call bara is called gei komi in Japan. Some gay magazines had a section for comics and then it become its own market.

To my understanding, the number of female readers was enough to create a section in the magazine for them (column if its different in english) who was called yurizoku. In Japan, lilies were associated with women before it was associated with lesbians, how it started to represent lesbians is something I also don’t know.

I do remember a lesbian japanese artist (the organizer of the ButchxButch anthology) saying something similar in her twitter, that she use yuri because it would reach more people, basically for marketing reasons. Not that she doesn’t like yuri or that yuri can not be lesbian but that a “lesbian” genre didn’t exist.

I mean a lesbian genre does exist, it's called yuri. And while you're right that yuri can feel restrictive with its focus on feminine women loving feminine women. The yuri genre is very specifically the lesbian erotica made by and for lesbians genre in japan. the fact is that Yuri got its start in bara magazines.

All that said while there's certainly a conversation to be had about breaking free of purely depicting the conventionally attractive. This is still the forum for a story about an egg who got isekaied into the body of a pre-op trans woman and is as of chapter 1 still coping about it. I'd rather we try to keep on topic. even if that seemingly generates transphobes at alarming rate.

“while you are right” I didn’t give a opinion on the genre, just cited what I saw from a author on twitter. I am not the type to expect a genre to adapt to my taste, I just go and search for it. I also know where yuri started, and it wasn’t bara magazines (bara as a genre has never existed) it was a gay magazine called barazoku and the yurizoku section being the reason for the name of the genre.

You are right, so I deleted my last comment. I was trying to change the topic to be honest. I don’t know if its posible for a Admin. to delete all comments and monitor from then on to avoid transphobia.

I get what you mean, totally totally. I don't mean, drawing women exactly like bara (overtly fat, muscular and hairy to giant proportions) but I guess what I mean is I want a terminology like bara that's meant to denote lesbian media and content that's made by lesbians and tends to have art cues that are a tad more realistic. Similar to the connotations of bara if that makes sense. The closest I could think of is maybe Josei GL that has a non-moe art style.

Oh I understand. Obviously by and for who is important, but the real difference between yaoi and bara is the body type. If a type of yuri that was mostly hairy, fat women having sex existed, I am sure that many readers of “conventional yuri” wouldn't read it, and that a separation between readers would exist. The non-moe tag certainly has more “realistic” art styles but the women and girls in it are still bishojo or conventionally beautiful.
The other crucial difference is also in how the story develops. Bara authors consider yaoi too “emotional”, basically bara is like hentai and yaoi is like shojo with smut. It’s a lot about “this makes me horny and this doesn’t make me horny” type of mentality when you read interviews, very interesting.

I do remember a lesbian japanese artist (the organizer of the ButchxButch anthology) saying something similar in her twitter, that she use yuri because it would reach more people, basically for marketing reasons. Not that she doesn’t like yuri or that yuri can not be lesbian but that a “lesbian” genre didn’t exist.

less worried about how authentic/inauthentically trans the main character is and more ill at ease at the (currently just implied) "lesbians secretly crave cock" thing I assume it's leading to with the main girl love interest. im going to continue reading because I desperately want it to be a good trans yuri but I'm skeptical.

Re-reads with a little more slowness
OH MY GOD!!! I didn't even REALIZE! It's already bad enough that it's het with extra steps, but now they're implying the lesbian character may secretly like dick/men. As a lesbian, I already have to deal with this in real life now I gotta see this in my dumbfun fantasy media? Nevermind, I'm no longer interested and dropping this.

Maybe it will turn like this, but not much was said, she is just curious. She is a sheltered Young Lady plus girls in catholic schools didn't had male teachers. For now that can perfectly explain her behavior.

I really like Bara a lot. I really like to see two boys chuu each other... Never once i fantasize about being a big hairy man to kiss another big hairy man... reconsider some things maybe

Today I learned Bara and Yaoi are not necessarily the same thing. Thank you.

they are considered entirely different genres. Yaoi/BL is mostly made by women for women, Bara is for the demographic of gay man that are also bears/chasers (and me as an intruder i guess lol.) tho the two are slowly blending together, in some ways, nowadays :D

You know, I've always wondered if there was a type of genre terminology of bara but for lesbian women. It certainly exists like you know when you see art that depicts lesbian relationships by a lesbian rather than a man but there's not really a term for it.

Most lesbian artist I follow have a “anime style” plus a litte more muscle or hair (very much limited to big eyebrows or armpit hair, if its nsfw a bush) but -sadly- I have never seen a lesbian artist draw women in a similar fashion to bara. Even masc x masc japanese artist use bifauxnen. The furry scene in japan is mostly dominated by gay men too. Honestly I have found more fat, hairy women in straight hentai
