I've been thinking about the old question "how many lesbians do you put into a yuri work?" For bitter yuri fans with PTSD, having any male be a major character can be seen as a threat of interference or derailment. But for others, a Cast Full of Lesbians where the entire cast, or even the entire world is female cheapens the value of being a lesbian, as there is no alternative choice. I read an interesting discussion point regarding the Cast Full of Lesbians trope from TVTropes, asking "Isn't it kind of weird how we consider shows with an all, mostly, or even just above average LGBT cast noteworthy and even unrealistic, but shows with literally nothing but heterosexual cisgender characters in a cast of thousands get a pat on the head without having to constantly justify their own existence?"

In essence, is it a double standard to complain that a work has "too many" lesbians?

Kaede x Yuzu!! It's been 3,000 years...

Also TIL AC = Air Comiket. I saw the acronym in a few doujins over at e(x)hentai and didn't know what it stood for

So I ignored this manga for the longest time because I saw "mute" and I didn't really want to read any disabilty/drama/angst. I've already watched and read Koe no Katachi, and while I thought it was quite good, I didn't exactly want to do it all over again. I was finally swayed when someone posted some pages of it on a Discord server I'm in so I became interested.

Now I'm way late to this conversation but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents regarding using your phone to text/LINE/etc. While this was for absent for most of Koe no Katachi, for years now many series like Yuru Camp does this extremely frequently even though none of the characters are disabled, to the point where it makes me think "damn kids these days always glued to their phones and not talking face-to-face enough!" (even though I do exactly that myself, even before the pandemic, so I'm not THAT old)

Others have raised the points that "the notebook is cuter" and "being able to communicate through their phones would minimize the use/impact/drama of the mind-reading powers/muteness", which I think are all plausible. I'd also suggest maybe the author didn't grow up on texting/LINE/emails and just isn't hip with the times, so to speak. Most writers can only write what they know.

What kind of hellish thermometer only shows the last 2 digits?

Does those bullies have X-ray eyes?

Actually, I thought there was plenty in Pandacorya's art on just that first page that immediately rendered the character as looking "different".

Oda's posture and the hang of her clothes, also the way the panels were directed, there were details that made the character design seem opposite of typical manga. (It almost looked like that slight off-feeling look you get from flipped manga to me; I wonder if the artist drew the panels in the layout and then reversed some of the art?)

It's hard for me to see what rang up to me as different again going back to it a second time (which itself is a bit of a poetic reaction), but I felt the art was intentionally askew even before I read the first panel. Anybody else feel that?

In another one-shot by Pandacorya, "I Went to a Lesbian Brothel and My Teacher Was There", the main character had her hair parted the other way compared to the one here. Same slightly grim expression on the first page too.

a-nother one bites the dust

Seeing Clownpiece will always give me a giggle remembering the SNL sketch commercial for Dillon Harper Investments (at www.clownpenis.fart). Link does not actually work.

You mean Dillon/Edwards Investments. Dillon Harper is a porn star.

But man that would've made the whole thing even funnier.

Here's the link to the video. https://dula.tv/videos/clown-penis-dot-fart/

Come for the loli yuri, stay for the... adult, short-haired, slightly tomboyish senpai, Yuu. Now that's my type.

So I discovered this on a hot tip from either reddit's yurimemes subreddit or goodanimemes.

And it might be the most pedo yuri manga I've ever read.

But also one of the funniest. Following!

(Oh and in that double date chapter they looked almost like a yuri family!)

Kurogane Kenn chef's kiss

I can't help but think that smashing in the ocean it's kinda disgusting.

Better than in public washrooms tbh.

Now that I think about it, it's not by much.

Petition for a spin-off series of the short haired girl. She deserves some loving as well!

Of course im Happy for Them, But im gonna keep saying this until she gets thrown a bone: poor Aoi

I think Blastaar christened this term a few years ago with Sayaka from YagaKimi: Aoi is a TOMOLO type: The Other, More Overtly Lesbian One.

I will say I like Aoi too and want her to find happiness as well.

i swear if these two do the sexy time before yuzu and mei

i will slowly cry

I think this series will take it slow. But of course, there's a high chance Yuzu and Mei never ever have sex so even taking it slow will be faster.

imagine sasakoi having sexy time and real incest before citrus that´d be really funny

Who's going to serve the real incest in SasaKoi though? Yori and Himari are not related and this doesn't seem like the kind of series to pull some dramatic reveal that they are.

When I browsed through the raws some time back, I figured this wouldn’t be the highest quality manga that ever existed. But sheesh, now that it’s being translated, the setup to this story is worse than I thought. Hope folks enjoy rapey-seme kohai with weak-willed uke senpai type scenarios.

Either way, kudos to the translator getting it started.

My thoughts exactly. This is so mind-meltingly dumb I was almost better off just skimming the raws again.

After re-reading the latest translated chapter, this whole thing reminds me of Tadokoro-san, except the hard-boiled mangaka stuff was removed and replaced with at least one sex scene per chapter. Yu is Tadokoro but more generic, Shizuku is Nikaidou but also more generic and less of a cartoonish superhero. Kyou is the Kirigaya of this manga: love rival, bullies the MC a bit, eventually gets stopped and rejected by MC's girlfriend and the one she loved. She even has the same tag-along-type girlfriend to "pair up" with.

Japanese girls are so fragile.

Unless they are idiots, those ones don't catch colds. And are typically made of iron.

when a piece of art is more interesting with more development than the series and it's sequel >.>

I was just going to swoop in here and say we're not going to get this development in a thousand years.

And even then it could just be because Citrus +Ω-537 got axed and Saburouta-in-a-jar had to rush a timeskip ending.

How the fuck is this Lolicon

Usagigari looks a little "small". There was also the flashback to loli Kottoi.

Not sure what Dynasty's rules are on how many pages something has to appear on to get tagged. I remember they have tags like "dicks on page 24" and I think this is a bit of a can of worms. E-hentai/exhentai call it the "presence rule". https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Gallery_Tagging#Presence_Notes

Over there, they have a generic rule of 25%, but some tags like lolicon will apply if there is even one picture in there at all. A single loli picture in a 1,000-picture image set is enough to get the whole image set the lolicon tag. Which is sort of annoying for those actively looking for it because they'd have to dig through 999 pictures of what they're not looking for, but for shit like guro or scat (or on Dynasty, the aforementioned "dicks on page 24"), one page is enough to make most people regret looking at it at all so the whole 1-image override is justifiable.

Weeb note: the cowgirl says she'd rather be called something like Yoshinoya on page 31. Yoshinoya just happens to also be the name of an international food chain most famous for their Japanese beef bowls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshinoya

The content is NicoMaki but the title is the name of a Rin solo song! I feel conflicted.

"no text"

I see, a well-motivated lie

I was like "yeah, there's text on the cover and the first page, big lies!" then I got into the main body and I was like "yeah yeah, the main body is the only part that really counts for tagging"

Then I got to the end and I was like "aww, that's cute, but still, lies!"

I think Nico normally has things done to her because she's the smallest and the youngest looking, and because "tsunderes" are too insecure to admit their feelings and risk rejection.

Sekihara begs to differ.

there just isn't enough W/W MC X Gym learders art

FTFY

Seriously, more Pokegirl yuri would be great.

i just cannot unsee this as tomoko x asuka , the personality are quite there except tadokoro is a good girl

I think this has been pretty opaquely a Watamote doujin with a little bit of Tatsubon self-inserting/wish-fulfillment for a long time.

Pft, rookies. There was that other yuri one-shot a while ago where they became a yuri couple in like 3 seconds. "Girlfriends for 3 seconds". It's on Dynasty, look it up.

Ok, how did this yuri-obsessed woman ever come close enough to a penis to have kids anyway?

I'm just going to assume this is set in a female-only world.

All Of Humanity Is Yuri (This Time, I Am Too)

Now that I look at it some more, Sniper-chan reminds me of L from Death Note, except slightly cleaned up, and with a big gun of course.

(And, going a bit off-topic here, while I did watch Death Note and I enjoyed it, I don't quite understand why L is one of the most fangirled characters in the history of anime...)

Im glad this manga have a happy endi-

Who's to say there isn't a Z-Lillie or something to accompany regular Lillie?

Those flower things on the first page looked like flies to me at first, sort of dampened the mood
