I'm so sleepy that I didn't see the injection and thought that was a weird euphemism for futa lol

^ I want to love their older style but I love the colors of their newer style more.

@juanelric This one's standalone though. And pretty sure you are referring to Hachiko's 100+ Scenes of Yuri.

^ Quite the contrary, this is an older work of Hachiko (from around 2015).

@Chikaon That doesn't necessarily mean that Sakura reciprocates those feelings though, if ever there was.

We need more YoshiRiko in this site

^ Didn't expect to find a yuri fanart of this anime either. But a quick search to danbooru proved me otherwise. (requested this pic btw)

As long as he don't take away Sakura from Saki, he's oka– sorry, I just saw some fanarts..

@PureShipper Same! r/wholesomeyuri is the best thing ever to exist.

says a guy who posts there literally everyday

This is the best thing I've seen today

Their gender and relation to You have been finally revealed! Whether I'm right or wrong, I ain't gonna spoil it here.

^ Thank you for giving me idea for a filename

I'm curious, who is this AnaKris people seem to talk about?

I'm the only one, who think they really love each ohter even in the show? Ayano and Chinatsu are like crushes, but Yui and Kyouko have a deep bond and many moments without jokes togehter.

@LittelWind Nope, you're not the only one!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! This is the best (late) XMas present ever!

Yuri-ism huh... I did vaguely remember leaving a request for this in their site... But I wasn't expecting that they would actually do it.

Even reading the raws, I could tell that this is a really good one– and it really is!

@LittelWind INDEED!

^ I requested this, so you're welcome!

Okay, so this has been bothering me for a while... but the face Nozomi makes here just reminds me of Kirarin (Idomaster: Cinderella Girls).

I wonder if there's a Yurucamp fanart in this site that doesn't have any tents joke in the comments..

Almost thought this was Maya x Claudine because of the thumbnail..

@SmolBoiYazawa (I'm sorry for making you read something this long..)

I know that, but I have broader implications with my use of the term. What I exactly meant would be understood by many as “tr*p”/”reverse tr*p”, but I’m sure people here understand why I’m reluctant to use that term. So what I want to see out of Love Live is a female character who defies gender stereotypes (in this case, by acting primarily “masculine”) in personality, in appearance and (at least in a lesser extent) gender expression. That's the kind of tomboy I am referring to, which is not too uncommon in anime. And I wish this character would be one. BUT, at the end of the day, this is just what I want to see, and that doesn’t really have to do anything with the discussion. (TL;DR I want an androgynous tomboy in LL.)

Before going further, just gonna say that I agree with Sakura Cartelet that it’s highly unlikely that any ships will be canonically confirmed/denied and to keep the status quo.

With that out of the way, here’s a hot take: I want Love Live to keep being a yuri “bait”. This in huge part because I share the same sentiment with the yuri shippers/most of the LGBT fanbase around the franchise who are TIRED of what your suggestion implies, an old heteronormative bait-and-switch that have happened several instances in the past. To you, it may seem to be a simple solution and I understand. It might solve some problems but I think it would only worsen the situation (the whole shipping mess) and Sunshine had enough backlash as it is.

We don’t need another heteronormative bait-and-switch, especially in a franchise like Love Live. A franchise that undeniably has less subtle homoromantic themes throughout its different materials, and a franchise like that is already hard to come by (the only recent example I can think of is BanG Dream!). And this novelty that Love Live possess is what makes it important to certain people, especially to fans of yuri. Which is why pulling an H. bait-and-switch this late in the Sunshine anime will rightfully upset lots of people. You may disagree with them, but I hope that you at least understand why they would be upset over this. Remember, not everyone in what is grouped as shippers are toxic. Most yuri fans find comfort in the franchise which has been very friendly and generous with its sapphic undertones. And they– we hope it stays that way.

EDIT: But I’m not all doom and gloom. And here I suggest a less problematic solution to the same problem you try to solve. I just though that WHAT IF: the character is actually You’s new girlfriend and they actually took the romance seriously. This is pretty similar to what you are saying, but instead with Love Live taking risks with an actual romantic lesbian relationship. Finally settling the dispute between the second years shippers by bringing something new to the table: an actual lesbian relationship that isn’t pandering or bait.

This would prove that Love Live isn’t entirely yuri “bait”. It doesn’t have to be a man, and I think more people would agree that a female would be favorable and just as effective, if not more. I think more people here would rather see a lesbian relationship done right rather than another typical het.

Although I am impartial towards this and that it’s much less likely to actually happen than the character simply being an androgynous tomboy but without the romance (which is what I support more). Nonetheless, I am more open to this possibility and think that it would result in fewer cons than your suggestion.

^ Yes! And I also "low-key" hope that the mystery character is an even bigger chuuni. I dunno, it'd just be hilarious to see.

Regardless of what anyone thinks, I sure do hope that the character is actually a tomboy girl (which I've been waiting for Love Live to introduce one, I'd never forgive them if they blew this chance). And that there's actually nothing romantic is happening between her and You whatsoever. Unless out of misunderstanding from Chika and Riko's part, that'd be interesting to see (I mean, look at the artwork we're supposed to be talking about here)

Save all the romance to Mari's situation, which most people seem to ignore. And the more I think about it, I think this character's inclusion in the trailers is a way to divert most of fan's attention away from Mari's whole marriage thing (aka this movie's main plot??).
