^^ I made that mistake too until I saw "KanColle"

^ Haha, it's a bit of problem because in Chinese, the same character 羊 is used for sheep, goat, and ram.

There's literally no good answer for this but I've linked to a website that delves into this a bit deeper.

You can use all three, but it's more common for most people to call it the Year of the Sheep. It really makes no difference, as it is still the 8th sign of the Chinese Zodiac.

^ omg. You sly cat. (Also, random thing: Hi dsaANON if this is the right one???. Thank you for all the years of fanfic writing you did for our community. 'specially the Mai HiME one. This message is a bit out of place, but thank you!)

also. If I were Akko, I wouldn't be holding a steaming cup of anything while this is all going on. Things might get a bit shaky---if y'know what I mean. ;)

That certainly looks delish.

So the series is finally over? Oh snap. How long does it run? 2 volumes (how many chapters is that)?

I'm rooting for the mom x dad pairing too.

Harumin is swiftly becoming one of my favorite supporting characters in a manga ever. She's awesome.

Seriously. I want Harumin to be my BFF in real life.

On a side note, I'm probably in the minority (and in danger) for wanting Harumin to like Yuzu (in a more than friends-kind of way). I can't help it. It's what my heart wants. Even if it's a cheap move on Sabu's part.

I'll just say my prayers here and write my will. Please be gentle.

I've always attended co-ed schools/college, but my mom, who comes from an all-girls school background, pretty much confirmed that the girls at her school were always super clingy and affectionate to each other. My mom, on the other hand, was the aloof beauty, so she didn't participate in any of that. But she tells me that a lot of girls would also slip her confession letters, much to my chagrin because that never happens to me.

It should also be noted that because there is a lack of "potential [male] partners", most girls tend to get super sloppy in the presence of other girls, simply because they really don't think they have anyone to impress.

But there's the additional bonus to the fact that periods exist 24/7 in all-girls schools.

And I was just thinking about this spinoff when the latest chapter hit. Wish we could see Harue's backstory though!

Kinda bawled at the Mafuka arc tho. sob sob.
that's as semi-tragic as it's gonna get.

Otsu Hiyori is boss. This two shot remains one of my favorites.

At first, I was like, what? Lolicon? Pretty sure both of them had at least three digits in their ages. But then I realized there was a flashback and all was okay again. Really miss these two.

Someone revived this thread on the forum and there's no way you can't re-read after that. I really think that the sweet implied ending was incredibly fulfilling. I'm kinda wistful now.

I'm not a feminist, in fact, I always objectify women

hahaha. what?

Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to Kantai Collection's anime next year.
For now, I'll give GF beta, Yuuki Yuna, Sora no Method a try.

Random non-yuri: I Don't Know What My Husband is Saying is really really funny. As you can infer from the title and the disclaimer, it has no yuri. But it's so goddamn funny, it transcends personal genre bias.

Quick additions:
Watched Psycho Pass 1 & 2 back to back, and have to say that they're both brilliant. Fell in love with Tsunemori in the second season. Wouldn't want to raise anyone's hopes through the roof, but I'd say that it was one of my favorites this year. Also, yes, Shion x Yayoi 5eva. And spoilers of S1: Shimotsuki's friend and victim of one of the murders in S1 was most likely her closest friend + previous love interest, since she says that there was something important she had wanted to tell her before everything hit the fan. Probs a cliche "I love you---and not as just a friend." She blushes a few times when Yayoi shuts her down in S2, so it's most likely that she's developed new feelin's for Yayoi. End.

WIXOSS was one of those, "what?" at first, but then you kinda get into it and it all makes beautiful sense at the end. I'd say it was like a card game magical girl type anime. I'd even liken it to Madoka but that's more than I should say. I liked it a lot. Esp Iona ahem, Yuki. P' cute.

I JUST WANT MAASA WITH REMI OH MY GOD CAN'T WE JUST HAVE THE MOST MATURE AND THE MOST EXPERIENCED ADULTS TOGETHER UGH.

clearly frustrated

Like can you just imagine Maasa working so hard at her desk and Remi being the lewd woman she is trying to get her attention for some intimacy? ~

That's actually kinda hot.
/jumps ship

^^ That's pretty much what happened. No doubt about it. Haha.

Seriously though, I'm so happy about this, I could pretty much burst.
So many happy tears were shed that day.

Omg. Cutest thing everrrrr.

Ahhh. The memories!

I thought this was kinda refreshing, though I was kinda thrown off guard by Jin when I saw the "crazy yandere" look on Chihiro last chapter, haha. Frankly, I strong believe that Chihiro is playing around with Aoi in the sense that she just likes Aoi because she's a cute thing. I also feel like, from the last chapter, that Chihiro is one of those people that love it when people around her like her (possibly more than she likes them). It's a manipulative relationship that isn't healthy at all. She obviously enjoys "playing around" with Shino too since Nao could tell that Chihiro (somewhat) liked Shino, even if it was supposedly to act as a catalyst for Aoi to "make a move". In summary, Chihiro = manipulative playaaaa

On the flip side, and though I'm biased towards the Nao x Aoi pairing, I think Nao sincerely was just trying to help Aoi get over her hurt with Chihiro in the first few chapters. I think she wasn't aware that this "helping" could lead to unforeseen consequences, and so she was just genuinely trying to help ease Aoi's pain. It was only in the later chapters, like this one, that she actively kissed Aoi in order to sway her opinion on Nao. Basically, now, she's playing the game.

tl;dr: Chihiro = ain't nothin' but trouble. Nao = didn't understand consequences
and now they're playin' the game.

I was afraid of the violence tag at first, but then I was like, yesssss.

This does seem like what two yanderes in love would do. Haha.

I really like this so far :)

I thought it was Sachiko & Yumi ! (without ribbons). They at least somewhat remind me of them.

Looking forward to more.

You know, I never finished this but... do they yuri at all??

Finished what? Marimite? Or the current manhwa?

Haha. Really doesn't need outright yuri.
I really like all the characters here. Usually, I have one or two favorites and then the rest of the cast is meh. But here, even background characters are just so damn likeable.

That said, I love all the not-so-subtle social commentary. It's really cute. Haha.

It'd be even worse if the friend liked MC boy later on too.

I'll flip 10 tables at that.

Why is this so precious.

Cutest thing ever. Great re-read value.

oh no you don't.
this is bad for my university life. and heart.
I try to live by with my wishful thinking.
but no, please don't rub it on my face
but gee this is another yuri star in the making. i died just from ch. 1

I feel you. This hardly ever happens in real life.

Yaaaaas. It's getting diverse!!!

And gosh. It's so adorable. Now I'm secretly wishing it could be a drama.
