"Liking something has nothing to do with being a boy or a girl."

Well, there's no way I'm not going to read into that given the site we're on.

That old school yuri.

I feel like this is brought up every time Seki shows up on Dynasty.

The adventures of Bocchi Hitori's sister, Gotou Hitori.

No one can tell me otherwise.

Today I learned I can only read the words "That's no good" in the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Bright and Cheerful Madoka.

I feel like it's missing a final panel, given that she only says it nine times.

I thought this was Reisen X Youmu from the thumbnail.

Is it 'hatsukashi'? I'd always thought it was 'hazugashi'. I learned something today.

Why do I get the feeling the comment section is going to be more entertaining than the manga...?

I think ReiSana is in a weird place. It's such a practical pairing that most of the people who WOULD ship it ship Marisa instead, and the people who prefer more out-there choices go with Aya, Remilia, and the like.

Why not Reimu Suika, Japan? They live together!

Now there's a girl who didn't deserve a happily ever after.

If treating the person you love like they're sub-human is your way of dealing with anxiety, then maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship.

And thus, the Raiko X Seija ship was built.

I want to see the these standards used in more sports.

"Welcome to tonight's MMA matchup between defending champion and judo expert - oh god he's been stabbed, challenger Mike Stapleton has brought a sharpened umbrella to the match!"

"Well, Jim, there's nothing in the rules that says you can't bring an umbrella, and we all know Mike 'Downpour' Stapleton has been training extensively with this style of fighting."

what is the definition of lesbian

Lol I know this is a joke comment, but want to “respond” anyway: Sappho from the island of Lesbos was a poet who wrote lesbian poems, so that’s where the term came from pretty much. She was a poet who wrote about lesbian relationships.

The term “sapphic” comes from that too.

Damn, girl, I can't imagine how gay those poems were to have formed the core understanding of gay ladies. That's epic.

You weren't kidding on the roughness, eh?

Where can I find that comic? I realize it's probably not translated, but I'm working on my Japanese anyway.

The dad isn't just an asshole? That's... actually a really refreshing change of pace here. Well played, Can't Draw Love. Well played.

Well the problem with a legit threat is that it'd beg the question: "Why isn't Nanoha the one tackling this issue?" I think they had the right idea when Einhart was first introduced. Ein had a legit emotional problem only Vivio could solve, mostly through combat. The stakes were there, namely Einhart's happiness, but I feel like the show has sidelined what should really have been their second main character. The entire thrust of Vivid was the redemption of Einhart, just like Nanoha rescued Fate; why they wouldn't follow such a proven forumla with such a great counterpart to Vivio is kind of baffling, because on her own Vivio isn't changing or growing as a character.

(I guess you could argue she's growing, but only in regards to combat ability, which isn't exactly a story as much as grinding xp would be in an RPG.)

I'm surprised we're seeing Youmu playable again, though, I was expecting to see a newer game represented, like Rin from Subterranean Animism or Sagume from Legend of Lunatic Kingdom.

Not that I'm complaining, given that Youmu, Reisen, and Sakuya are all very well-liked characters, so more focus now means more doujins about them in the future.

Personally, I think the large cast would be fine if they stopped to flesh them out. I mean, we liked Hayate and crew because the plot spent a lot of time establishing their personalities, their motivations, what they stand to lose and gain in their arcs. All of these characters are just there to fill space and explain to the audience how Vivid's fights work. I mean, Hero Aca has a huge cast, but they all work in service to the story, they aren't just Midoriya's hype squad.

(Personal gripe: Every time I see a tie in a fight like this all I can see is "the author didn't want to commit to a decision here." And there are a lot of ties in Vivid.)

This series doesn't waste any time, man. It's like every time the chapter ends, you think 'man, I really hope-' BAM next chapter, it happened, no one's got time for that will-they-won't-they shit, we're on the CLOCK.

"Tadakoro is cute. I hope she wins over Sakur-" - Already mutual.
"They really like each other, maybe they-" - They're spending time alone together.
"Snap, at this rate they might as w-" - Both confess.
"Shit, this is going fast, but now what's going to come bet-" - Bullying!
"What a bitch, I hope Sakur-" - Instant karma.

They aren't even hitting tropes, they just distilled and concentrated the yuri into a solid block to bludgeon you in the face with adorable feels and a stable relationship built on shared interests. You were supposed to dilute it, Tadakoro-san! Yuri was never meant to be this pure!

Nah, Flan X Koishi has been around since SA. The double pairing of the Scarlet and Komeji families is an established ship.

I mean, as far as I'm aware some blind people do keep their eyes closed to keep other people from feeling uncomfortable, but all my knowledge is second hand.

Krillin: "I don't feel very different."
