this series is one of the joys of my life.

Me too!

Digging through the comments reminded me I'm still not over the name switch, but it no longer detracts from the reading experience.

It also made me realize that a ton of care and discussion totally goes into the particulars of the script, as per a post from Chinomeri a ways back

The only yuri where Jordan Peterson is both the theme and a character.

Not the the first time I have been undone by a pronoun referent in a translation from Japanese.

Ye gods, my worst, and constant, nightmare (as a proofreader/copyeditor/quality checker for these sorts of things). I'll keep a closer eye out for these in the future.

The line may have been better as "Is what I think."? I can't comment on on how this line went, but you'd be surprised the amount of behind-the-scenes back and forth, discussion, and revision goes on for scripts. Depending on the group, that is.

Luckily, Miss Sunflower appears to be equally confused.

I'm so not entitled to demand more of a product I don't acquire it, that being said, 4 chapters a year for like 13 or less pages and it's not even an complex story, I'll say this is the type of stuff that deserved the axe ...

Don't axe Skeeter Rabbit axe this, I'VE SAID IT!

But this is interesting and Skeeter Rabbit is... well...

Hot garbage with an identity crisis that never quite figured out if it was porn or Jojo's?

Not gonna lie, i've always wanted to read a story like this, where the feelings are mutual, but the characters believe they aren't.

That used to be THE archetypal yuri story, so I guess you're in the right place. There's a lot of that story on this site. You can probably find a number of such stories in the Tsubomi, early Yuri Hime, and Hirari works on the site

Aki Eda lives in Taiwan? That's surprising

The heart stone. The victorian dress rental plase. The historical Western house. Nanoho, and Chitori's class must be at the same plase that Akko confessed to Mariko in Girlfriends

I thought it was in Negima too, but I think I might be wrong! I wonder if the girlfriends connection is a coincidence or intentional. I don't think there are any direct references with panels or staging or the like, but the confessions might say otherwise

Or using a public bathroom. Or touching a door handle. Or shaking someone's hand. Or cleaning up literally anything. Plus, people sneeze in their hands like all the time. This last one wigs me out a bit. Life is unsanitary as fuck it turns out.

But really, I'm always surprised when people are surprised that there's a standard yuri development in their yuri. Don't people know that this genre runs almost purely on miscommunication? Have I been reading a different yuri than everyone else all these years?

The culture wars are strong here, but do not amount to much if won. I suggest taking this energy somewhere relevant, like your state or local representatives, and demand they take those horrifying laws off the books that let people marry 14 year olds. At the end of the day, if Dynasty removes this content from their site, nothing of consequence changes. But some real life activism? Now that's something to write home about.

Also, if you're introducing someone to yuri, please give them a book instead of sending them to a site with pornography on it. This may be silly coming from me, but piracy is still bad, m'kay?

Call me old fashioned, but this is porn about lesbians written by two dudes, right? The general lack of proper handling of even alarmingly sensitive topics shouldn't be too surprising

And so, this is the dreaded moment in which the silly comedy series tries to become dramatic. More often than not, the ending result of this shift is alienating the original audience while failing to catch a new one, resulting in lackluster endings or series becoming shells of their former selves at the midway point (looking at you, CLAMP).

That's totally not how Rayearth played out. The dramatic shift made everything very heavy, made everyone's actions suddenly have weight.

...because why would anyone talk about any other CLAMP work?

A girl who died because she was bullied for liking girls?

She's a yuri ghost.

Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh Aaaah, Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh Aaaah

She's hanging out on rooftop too.

Yuna save us from this yuri stalemate

This setting gave me stress flashbacks lol...

Amen to that!

Also, people can life weights and read at the same time?! My life is a lie. I need to incorporate this into my day

this is a very useful tool that will help you check your work for anti-plagiarism

Oh ho ho, we teachers are much smarter than you give us credit for. It's waaaaaay easier for us to spot plagiarism without running it through our automated checkers or against the database

Well damn, yen press is at the same chapter as we are!

Looks like eh scans did one more chapter and then dropped the series. The official release is the place to go for the next chapters

"We will protect the revolution" what kind of Marxist superhero show is that?

Sounds like this chapter needs the communist tag

To everyone that didn't like the first chapter... What, do you all hate fun? I mean, I know as well as you that this is no place for the stuff, but to be so turned away from it when it finally appears...

I love where this story is going, but the fun has definitely simmered.

That's like saying that it'd have been for Luke to take a lightsabre and go kill the Evil Emperor on a Death Star. We got a hero with the means, an evil bad guy and a superweapon; now we can have them fight it out and all is well. Everything else is surplus to the story and a waste of time.

Um... no? What you're describing is the end of a trilogy, not the beginning of a story. To use your Star Wars analogy, the beginning constitues a status quo (Luke living on Tatooine / Aoi forcing herself to live what is considered a normal life), a change to that status quo (R2D2 delivering the message from Leia / Chi-chan pulling her out of her arranged marriage) and an established quest (Luke and friend rescueing Leia from Darth Vader / Chi-chan and Aoi starting a new life together). It doesn't really need an extra hour or so of Luke shooting womprats and talking up how great Uncle Owen is.

We need more space opera yuri is what the problem is

This is such a refreshing read by such a great author! Looking forward to the coming chapters

This is pretty standard chapter 1 stuff, nothing too out of the ordinary. The story is set up, everything has been laid out, and there's just the right amount of ennui.
