You might want to loose the straps a little bit. Yurika didn't want to be gigolette, she wanted to marry some guy and live as a wife, but she doesn't seem to have the charm to attract guys for some reason. One of the earliest chapters has her go into a mixer in order to try and marry a student in a college of medicine (the lesbian sex happening right after was mostly out of yurika's frustration over being unable to catch any man, plus the invitation from the "straigtht girl" who was with her).
point taken. I confess, I should have reread the earlier chapters before making that broad statement, but that is how I read the situation.
Yurika's character is in some kind of Limbo after being admitted into the dorms. First there was no doubt she was heterosexual, now I'm not sure. She's far more calm than she was before and has learned how to actively use her charm, but that's just that she no longer hates it as much as she did in the first chapters; she doesn't love doing it either, and its obvious that women for her are mere resources. Certainly she could be bisexual, but Japanese artists have not gave me much examples of them thinking of bisexuality as a possible third option.
On Yurika's circumstances, we both agree. as for the whole bisexuality thing, why do the think bisexuality is not used as third option? because most manga are genre specific or because, from a cultural point of view, it's considered heterosexualality and ignored altogether? <--- (this question is to everyone)
If Yurika is not afraid of being in a serious relationship like she says Akane is, that could either meant that she wants a serious relationship, or that she doesn't give a damn about the people she has slept with. And, unlike Akane, Yurika has never said she liked girls (outside of those shallow talks over the phone)
we have 4 more volumes to go to watch the development of their relationship (be it as friends or as lovers). so we shall see.
and who said a gag manga could not provoke a serious discussion?
