Ngl, by the way that things are going now, this probably shouldn't have the Yuri tag on it until actual confirmation, lol

Yuri on Dynasty means a story where a girl is in love with a girl. Reciprocation or an eventual relationship is not a requirement.

So far neither of them has shown explicit love interest on each other sooo...

Eh, I'd say the end of 4.5 was pretty clear about Saki's feelings for Kanon being of the same kind as her feelings were for her previous piano teacher. Especially considering her thoughts about the marriage sign.

[...] she still probably isn't consciously aware of it

Certainly if you also read the added web novel context notes.

Tbh I’m still kinda confused as to how the tokyo friend just casually wondered if they had kissed but I guess this is just one of those “all the world are lesbians” situation

Or she just noticed the atmosphere between them, sensed that they are attracted to each other and wondered if this "idiot couple" already figured stuff out.

Doesn't take much to notice that, yeah. Even in the bath house Tsubaki kept inserting comments about Hiyori's beauty into discussing its improvements. :D

A jealous Ayame, and Matsuri being Matsuri. And the most hilarious bad feeling face from Himawari-san at the end. :D

Poor Noa (don't care about Matsumoto)... :D

I don't think Saki has done anything to deserve that credit page...

Yvonne looked pretty cute herself in that outfit...

Oh, she's definitely the real one on a whole other level today between the two.

Nice.

Now that's an unexpected couple, but certainly looks nice.

Beautiful. ^_^

Very nice. ^_^

Lovely.

Even after all this, Vena still considers everything to be just as planned. That's some confidence.

When the timid girl's instincts suddenly take over.

On the other hand there's this, where it doesn't seem like it knows what it wants to be. I mean, to be fair, the translation for the web novel is an absolute trainwreck and this follows the light novel - which I haven't read - anyway, but even there I realize that the author tries a lot to make the worldbuilding and magic work. This seemed to be the same at first with this manga, until they drifted off to try to be an action manga, without having the base to be one.

I guess this could be blamed on the difference in media. With manga being a much more visual medium than the novels, one can't just have a wall of text explaining these things, but needs to have a visual side to it as well, leading to more action through which the workings of magic are shown. How well this works will, of course, depend on whether the source material can be properly bent into this new style of storytelling and how good the artist is at doing so.

As far as I'm considered, it's actually good if the romance is not always the main focus. It would not be so in a het isekai action story, so why should it be different for yuri? This is exactly what makes it feel more like a natural part of the story. The characters have other concerns and motivations, do their best to live in this world, and naturally find their feelings for each other while doing so.

Such good friends.

Lovely.

Adorable. ^_^

Nice.

Cute.

Good.

Nice. ^_^

Cute.
