How did it feel powering through over a dozen chapters of het drama only to get almost zero yuri at the end? I guess the Yuri-hime subscribers got tired of hetshit in their yuri magazine, hence it getting this terrible ending. Glad I didnt waste time on this trash.

By the way, should I read Aria, because I feel really angry about the author after what she did to Amanchu.

She pulled similar shit in Aria. Straight up homophobic trash that goes out of her way to kill any yuri shipping.

Never seen a sequel get so much justified hate since Star Wars.

No but it does make you intensely tedious.

78 comments over 2 years. Too much for you to handle I suppose.

I can't help but notice that nearly all of your posts are Like This

Ad hominem. May only comment negatively but that doesnt nullify my points.

Wouldn't label it as yuri count as spoiling the ending too? I don't think the author wanted that!

She literally has on multiple occasions said that the story isn't yuri. She is openly spoiling it. The denial gets stronger over time. People say its about not wanting to spoil the story but she has spoiled the story multiple times on twitter. Others say she doesn't like to use labels as if "not yuri" and "girlship" arent just more labels.

I always hated that, move on or just drop the story already.

Funny how you can't manage to do that for negative comments. Take your own advice.

I just find it cute that people hold out hope despite what the author has said.

I'm an old reader and I don't get what you mean. Is it about how the author doesn't want to label her manga as Yuri?

When the author spoils the end you think people would take the hint.

Funny how new readers havent heard the news. Sweet summer children.

Or, as per my previous theory, the writing in this series magically causes stupid people to go to the Dark Side, and an anti-New-Game-writing death cult is forming in the shadows.

Isn't that normally just called "bad writing"?

I remember when people were saying that this manga was like the adult version of Virgins Empire. LMFAO, what a train wreck.

Author: “People who argue about labels are missing the point."

What point? That the author has somehow crafted such a unique story that the entire human race has not been able to come up with the words to describe it? Doubt it.

'Deep bond' and 'love' aren't labels. They are adjectives.

Adjectives are descriptions for nouns, they are literally labels by your own personal definition. The issue is that their relationship can be put into neat cookie cutter catagories, saying that we simply can't is just ridiculous. Everything has a label and if the author somehow comes up with a situation that doesn't then we will make one. 'Girlship' seems to be the hot contender here.

Except their relationship can be given plenty of labels. The author not wanting to doesn't mean no one else can. 'Deep bond' and 'love' are classic labels. Their actions have labels, denying reality doesn't make it so. If they are carpet munching every night doesnt mean they can sit there and say they never had sex. Not wanting to be labeled is fine but arguing that no label exists is just wrong.

But hey, at least both sides can finally agree it isn't 'yuri' because that is another rejected label you cant define their relationship as.

Hit them with that good girlship shit. Love it.

That's also the chapter that had Kasumi spontaneously kissing Sakurako on the lips when she got home.

She kissed her on the cheek.

So, to be cynical, does this actually go somewhere with the yuri (preferably fast) or is it just an excuse to talk about movies? Because frankly I don't know if I can take more chapters with this level of teasing. It was painful to read.

Judging by the raws up to chapter 12 and 37 it's just teasing to have a reason to talk about movies. Not sure about the standards set for the 'Romance' tag but it seems to be misleading here.

Or The Favourite

Definitely not that since The Favourite was first released August of 2018 while the first raw chapter of this came out in March of 2018.

Gee, they better explain that lesbian porn on her TV, or else! It really got me curious...

My money is that she was watching The Handmaiden.

Do you only read stories that you hate? Because you only ever comment to complain about story or insult other people.

And I know it won't mean much to someone as close-minded as you, but social pressure can do a lot to a person, especially in Asian countries which are so anti-individual.

Yes, I only comment on stories I dislike because criticisms drive more of a discussion than boring "Oh how cute uwu" shit. Its easier to rant than it is to gush. And I only comment on the trash that really grinds my gears.

And I was really feeling that social pressure when Ayas mother told her to live her life how she wants to when she was visiting her father in the hospital and then Aya treated Risa like a nuisance instead until Risa finally snapped.

But idk, some people just see the fact that Aya broke up with Risa to marry a man, and they don't really care about any type of context after that.

Yeah, because these facts dont seem to register with people like you.

First, we cant see her crying. Risa only said that Aya was crying, her tears werent worthy of the ink. Second, she threw her away like trash breaking up the way she did.

Yes, she did come crawling back to work at the same exact place as Risa. Despite denying Risas attempts to get back together Aya still slept with her over and over again. Aya dragged Risa along and used her for sex while denying Risa the relationship she actually wanted.

She absolutely got permission from her mother. She even asks about her father and her mother tells her she will deal with that. She would have never started dating Risa again without her mothers approval.

Aya is a weak tool of a character and not one that deserves to have the reader rooting for her. But luckily for her Risa was written as a pushover obsessed with an ex who treated her like trash.

and Risa deserves better

Y'all keep repeating this without even a hint as to what that "better" would or should be...

How about someone who doesn't throw her away like trash to marry a man because of what she believes her parents might think and only to crawl back after the man leaves her. Literal trash that doesn't deserve to come back to open arms.

But good thing her mother gave her permission to be gay instead of making the decision herself.

Knowing that this trash crashed and burned in Japan should have clued us in with how bad it really was.

The best love stories are the ones where you don't think the couple should be together.

Assuming a reader cares about stuff like that, it must have been heartbreaking.

You're right, I always make the same mistake assuming the possibility that weebs have any literary standards.

Is the source of your statements work experience? If it is, I'd like to work where you do. I find it very dangerous that some people really believe what you wrote is the universal truth.

Because it is. Developers who don't test their code once don't get hired after an internship.

Once you witness it in practice, it makes sense, even if it doesn't make it any better.

No, it doesn't. It goes against the very first lesson taught in every basic beginner coding class. Test your shit, you get nothing out of sending in code you have no idea even works, especially when you are just adding a feature onto a program you were just introduced to.

This lets them very quickly finish their tasks

Except they don't. They are extending the required time and pushing deadlines by constantly having to have someone else recreate and report basic bugs. Then bugs with specific causes will never be fixed, just requiring more manpower and adding more crunch for later.

If the progress is not properly assessed and the supervisors don't see the relationship between the initial task and the endless fixes, people can get away with such an approach, or may not even realize how inefficient they do their job.

Sorry to hear that you had literal children fresh from high school with zero coding experience as supervisors.

The next step is to imagine what happens if the manual testing doesn't cover the feature at all, for one reason or another...

Yeah, would love to know what reason or another they would not test the only feature the programmer was responsible for.

Quality control on all levels is still a massive issue for a lot of reasons, one being that writing the sufficient automated tests, despite all the available tools and libraries, tends to consume more resources than the features' development itself, and it's hard to prove how much work doesn't have to be done later thanks to them. Especially to people with little idea about software development.

Not remotely true in game development, especially when working with a well established game engine. Not testing will always take longer than simply testing the feature, not testing just adds more work for the developer in the long run.

I think it’s hilarious that anyone thinks that real-life coding experience has ever had the slightest relevance to this series.

When it's used to inject drama into a mostly fluffy series I think it's important how believable it is. That coupled with Kou just dropping out and moving to the otherside of the planet just because the company didn't have confidence in a brand new employee to carry the art department for a brand new franchise was the start of the downward slope for the series.

I just feel pity for people who still cling to this series for its non-existent yuri. Stick to the doujins, stop trying to find yuri where is doesn't exist.
