don't talk bad about Mare! a Morinaga's yuri horror, and a great manga above all.

sorry for the OT

no one have talked about "the prince of the night sky....."

stories like Giraffe's neck are too long, or Flowers forming a parabola, are masterpieces, and are different from every other one-shot i ever read, short but with a lot of meaning

comic lily vol. 1

i remembered it, good one-shot

Maybe the wing is intended to be symbolic...

Seravis right, the manga is actually about US foreign policy.

It's all a conspiracy!

i'm italian and... believe me: there's the vatican in this

thank Yuri Girl !

i love hakamada mera's drawing and writing, and i needed this

i hate harem, but i liked this manga, then it's not harem

Lol whut? I hate harems too, but that is in no way a factor or not.

Just because you like it does not mean it's not a harem.

i know,
it was a stupid joke...

about the ending, i didn't see there is an other chapter

I'm really bad at picking favourites, but I'd say my top three are Sasameki Koto, Girl Friends and Hanjuku Joshi,

the first i heard hanjuko joshi in this type of discussion, i agree,

i hate harem, but i liked this manga, then it's not harem,

poor ending, sweet, but poor

..and now, at the end, can i ask something?

better Girlfriends or Sasameki koto ?

(i know is a useless, moronic, senseless question)

Too bad this seems to have been a one-off author, she doesn't even seem to have a mangaupdates page. I would have been interested in reading more.

under the title it talks about a tankoubon, i don't know if it's all of yuri stories

i want to begin to read saki, where i can find scan to download, or read on-line?

i'd like to avoid mangafox and alike

Same author of Rideback, huh?
I feel so overjoyed to know that he also draws yuri as well.

thanks a lot for the imput,
i like sci-fi, yuri, and the style of this artist, then i dashed to read Rideback and i discovered that very few of it is traslated,
what a let down...

I'm not sure you have to read that much into the ending, Yoshimi's mangas are pretty straightforward (the yuri ones at least)

perhaps you're right about everything else, but i can't accept this, the stories in tropical girls are all but strainghforward.

i liked to continue because it seems a civil discussion with interesting reasoning, but for me write in english is a fight, and i need to take my time, especially while i'm working

I think we really need to just drop the topic now. It's pretty futile. Those of us who don't like the ending aren't gonna change our minds, and the same can be said of those who liked it.

sure it's, and it's right that things are gonna go like that, but i like these pretty useless discussions,
and i need to exercize my pitiful english

premise:
cit. Sol Falling : The overall affect of the ending ('Most couples are now living in blissful yuri happiness; our main pair will take a bit longer') is definitely decent for what Yoshitomi had time to do. Even if the last chapter wasn't exactly what most people wanted I think it is wrong not to appreciate it for what it actually was.

absolutely right !!!

That's wrong but let's leave it at that

it was a joke, see the longest journey, fallout, the witcher, ect...

This is the meaning you're giving to the ending, the ending doen't even mention the misunderstanding. One has to fanwank the turning point of the relationship

yes, then or i overstimate yoshitomi sensei (i wish not) and i saw a more profound meaning in the all story, or you are right and he rushed the ending, i'm not sure of my thinking, the odd is 50/50

It's not about liking a certain sort of relationship, it's about consistancy with the theme of the manga, which is polyamory, and the uniqueness of the bond(s) between people

Of course they can make otherwise, everyone can evolve, so why can't they ? because the author didn't want to ? then he shouldn't had tease the reader with various heavy hints.
And age has got nothing to do with it, in fact it's the other way around: their little sisters are much more lucid, and Akira and Mari's relationship had gone much further than their big sister's

in the story of unrequited love, the MC is always sad, right? in sisterism the MCs don't need to develop a mutual feeling, they are happier like that, and t's showed in the last paragraph.
image if one of the 2 understand her feeling, probably she prefer don't speak it, to not lose the bond with the other, and the bond is that strage obsession for the little sister best friend.
there's a reason the manga is called sisterism!

Because that's not the point, the point of Girlfriends is Akko and Mari accepting their feelings towards each other. Girlfreinds didn't go beyond the story it wanted to tell (its plot if you want). Sisterism on the another hand, pretended to develop Haruka and Yoshiko's relationship but in the end, it developped everything but that

i read a critics about the last volume of girlfriends, the useless last misunderstanding.
useless? the last volume is necessary for akko's feeling to mature, and in the end is akko who confess!! that's a great change, no?
in sisterism, for a good development, there's needed an other book, at least,

premise: i want to answer your argouments because i can understand them, although i think otherwise

but bad endings are different from stupid endings (or without creativity),

It's not bad, it's dull: nothing happens

right, infact i added "without creativity", although you have only yourself to blame if you look for a good plot in a videogame (i make the same mistake, i was expecting the end from the first episode)

i love story with characters that grows and matures (like in Octave, Farnese in Bersek, etc...) but i didn't expect this from Sisterism.

But in Sisterism the characters grows: Akira and Mari for instance, why did Haruka and Yoshiko got the short end of stick ?

grow??? with the most hylarious scene of the manga, the unwanted confession in the hot spring? that is a development worthy of the style of sisterism.
the side characters has their development thanks to a a coincidence, we don't know what will happen in future to the MCs, probably the same, but there's a long way full of misunderstandings before them, this is the meaning of the ending

do you think the end of Two and two is good or bad?

Good, because it made sense with the permise, there was character developpement and it wrapped up the story

i don't like much age-gap love story (with exception, like masterpieces as hoshikawa ginza, etc...), then, for me, a good ending was with the girls breaks up with the womans, but that was an ending i didn't expect, and i was more than pleased.
an expected ending not always is the best choice.

in sisterism they choice (want) to continue to obsess theirself with the little sister best friend.

No, that's not their choice, they didn't realize their true feelings, so they didn't choose anything, their story just stopped halfway through

they doesn't choice consciously, but can't make otherwise, they aren't mature enough, and this was showed in the difference of age and development with the side characters.
the fact that akira calls them "masters" is the best example of the sarcasm of the story.
i don't think the end is rushed, in girlfriends we don't know how mari and akko 's family react to their story, i think is important, but i didn't expect to know that, every story has a time span.

bad ending? if you want a bad ending read homunculus (not yuri),

No thanks I played ME3; I've already had my fill of dull endings

ah ah ah, i undertstand you...

it's definitely atipical, the MCs didn't choice, instead they remain with 2 lovers,
in sisterism they choice (want) to continue to obsess theirself with the little sister best friend.

this is what i think, it's natural that it's only my opinion

I don't like X!
Then don't read them. We have tags for a reason.

this is all it's needed to be said,

and i'm one of them that doesn't like somethings, like loli, watersport and, above all, futanari: i have a dick and i see it everyday, i don't need to see dicks in manga too,... and on girl (blasphemy!),

but i want to read all, i can't read only genres that i prefer

finally a new chapter, and a sad one too...

thanks lililicious

Of course it's a love story, it's always been about love, and it's not "status quo story" either

As it is, it's a bad ending,that just threw away all the hints,

bad ending? if you want a bad ending read homunculus (not yuri),

a love story without drama only make sense if it's o light one-shot,
not all the MCs are lucky enough, or sufficiently smart (especially if they are little kids) to understand their feelings,

i love this author and i want to defend his choice

i think this is the only ending possible,
this isn't a love story, but a comedy,
the reader has to think that the MCs still have to struggle with their love lifes for a long time,
if it's to easy for them to understand, their obsession losts meaning

Girlfriens is the cause of my yuri's addiction

You're more likely to interpret a sentence incorrectly by making it literal, as counter productive as that may be.
Making the character sound stiff and weird

this is the cause because i can't read manga sold in italy (i'm italian), the traslations are for a childish target,

as a reader i want to adapt the sentences in my mind, as long as i know the choice of words and the writing-style of the author,
but i understand that a traslator has pride in what he does, and want to do a professional work

@ Yoori
sorry, my post was very naive and semplicistic

Well, I love the art but the story... not so much for the moment. It's all over the place, somewhat cliche, etc.

And here I was beginning to feel really alone, thank you.

the school presidente is the rector grandother...
i remember "she wolf"... too cliche!

Most yuri stories are quite cliched. Especially if it features a school of any sort.
To put it in a less harsh way, you'll see a lot of familiar plots/ideas/settings...

it's not always a bad thing, i liked a lot of cliched stories, yuri in an all female school for example hardly avoids this risk,

but, if a story is intentional cliche in some aspects (the tsundere character who is almost in all the manga, for example) is different,
or if the cliche is used ironically, like in she wolf.

anyway, about this work it's early for critics.

i hate mariXrei,
the true pairing are mariXali and yukariXrei
