I mean, teeeeechnicalllly the chances of bi people cheating are double that of any other sexuality ( straight, gay and lesbian ). More people you could like = more people you could cheat with. Seems logical to me.

Bisexuality doesn't work that way.

Your last statement sounds very immature, honestly. If you think that what happened between these two was a waste of time, you've got a lot to learn about relationships, and living in general.

i don't see in what it's "immature". from the begining of the story their relationship didn't improve or anything they where friend and dating each over didn't change anything about them or beetwen them. so for me it was really a complete waste of time. things would have been the SAME if they never dated each other. so all this story is king of pointless because NOTHING have really improved or changed.

They very obviously did learn more about the things they like and about relationships in general. She outright says her expectation that sex without love would be terrible was wrong, but she also learns that she personally wants something more romantic. She gains experience that way, both of them do, that they can carry forward into new relationships. And again, they walk out of the experience with a good friend they can confide in that they didn't have before, that's a huge plus in a person's life. Seriously, that's the opposite of a waste of time, which is why I say your outlook is immature. It's simplistic and defining "gain" as only "had a successful romance". That's an attitude that discards quite a lot in search of an ideal and causes a person to miss very valuable things along the way that maybe aren't so perfect.

If they hadn't dated, it's not even sure that they would have gotten to be friends at all, let alone close, lasting friends, which is shown by the fact that they'd clearly been club-mates for a while and not become friends until the dating thing came up.

Yeah, this conversation is pointless so I'll be locking it and letting it fade gracefully into obscurity. You can repost this in the appropriate place without further cluttering the main page.

I really don't get what's so supposedly negative about this.

Two isolated lesbians found companionship with each other, had highly enjoyable sex during that time, learned a bit better what each of them were looking for in a relationship, split amicably and remained good friends while pursuing new relationships. What the hell is so terrible about that?

Nothing earth-shattering happened here. It was a simple, human story that could happen to anyone. Nobody walked away with scars or serious regrets. I think that's more realistic than this cynical "healthy relationships don't exist outside of fiction" nonsense.

wait i NEVER said healthy relationships doesn't exist. but i have never SAW one in my life. that's different. and what pisses me off is what a waste of time their relationship was at the conclution.

That was good. It's nice to see a story about a relationship failing. That's what happens more often than not, especially when you start dating on a whim while drunk, but there just aren't many stories where that's what happens.

But are we reading yuri for realism? No. We are reading for the girl x girl relationship. That's why this is a bit of an unsatisfying story.

completly agree. people who wants realism only needs to get outside and see real life. or else WHAT is the point reading mangas if they begin reflect reality?! seriously!

It's in bad taste for men to go out and just stare at lesbians and intervene in their daily lives. There's very little in the way of good Western media and art that depict female relationships. There is good and interesting stuff, but the Japanese, anime, manga, whatever, these or they are the ones churning this shit out like butter. which is nice, but a sense of realism is even nicer because than you can possibly immerse yourself in the story knowing its a very real possibility. You can admire what is possible. May not be possible for men to become this thing we indulge in, but that doesn't mean we just want straight fantasy.

As a friend once put it, popcorn is great once in a while but you can't make a whole diet out of it.

If I keep reading this, it'll make me stupider, and I seriously can't afford it.

So knock it off, already.

and not some perv guy writing out some hentai fantasy.

Girls can't be perv? Isn't Mira a woman who does some of the best perverted hentai on this website ٩(♡ε♡)۶

If Mira isn't a woman, I know more private example and stuff.

Heck yeah girls can be pervs! For some reason, I find women's pery stories much more... lets go with acceptable. Besides an man writing about inappropriate relationships between girls, seems wrong to me, somehow.

I think Mira is actually a collection of authors working under a single banner. But don't quote my on that.

Now you know how I feel when male characters are in yuri manga, and when one of the MC's had one or more boyfriends/male lovers/ male sexual partners. Same concept really.

Actually. I'm not sure what your getting at. Are you saying you don't like het in your yuri?

Basically. The bisexual tag is also a red flag for me

you should've read fluttering feelings by ssamba, bisexual theme ain't that bad u know

In my case it's not so much that bisexuality is bad (hell, I'm biromantic myself), but I don't trust manga authors to be any good at depicting it. As a rule they've got a history of being pretty terrible at it.

So bis are great, stories about bis tend to be pretty crap.

Either way, read it for Shino. She grew up a bit now and Hime x Shino moment was adorable as fk :D

I thought nobody was working on it though. Where do you read it since it doesn't seem to be uploaded on manga sites.

No one worked on it because the official English translation was out.

There is proper scan of the official book floating around though. Not sure if I will violate the forum rule by point it out or not though

Yes. Yes, it will.

Alternative suggestion: a proven failing to accurately translate foreign media for a new audience unnecessarily introduces ambiguity and distrust as to the reliability and authenticity of the translated material.
Which is likely to put at least some people off, because they can no longer rely upon what they're viewing as being an accurate representation of the original work.
Which is bad, if the intent is to share said original work with that wider audience.

How does this apply 21 chapters into an established series, given that almost all new readers are going to start at the beginning.

Plus, it's a scanlation appearing on a scanlation site. The vast majority of the audience is going to be people who are already manga fans and familiar with the amateur/volunteer nature of scanlation. So who is this "wider audience" you're talking about?

I can see you objecting on purity grounds, but this "new audience" thing is a non-starter.

Miko...Suave

Well, now that everyone's in a good mood, let's ruin it with a fic I found about Eli as a fox goddess.

You know what's weird? There are a bunch of yuri pics of these two, but this is one of the very few I've seen with them actually kissing.

Pity, since I love the pairing.

Enough bumping the thread, Wiseoung7205. If people want to respond further, they'll respond further. You had a very specific, very niche request so you can't really expect a great deal of responses.

Keep it up and I'll just lock the thread so you can't keep doing it.

My guess is that Umi went for a back-hug and Eli moved her hands somewhere better.

Don't caricature white people? (That was weird)

I'm assuming it's taking the traditional white geisha make-up idea and taking it to extremes.Note they also made up their eyes in similar manner.

Nico actually looks really great with that expression.

Yuri Queen

This is incredibly stupid and it's time to drop it. You're already on the thinnest ice as it is, so it's wise not to push your luck.

This tag speaks to me on a personal level.

"Nice change of pace from the creepy stuff..."

/looks at "feeding her" panel/

Sounds legit.

As always, my first priority is that the forums remain enjoyable to as many people as possible and the conversations keep flowing. If there's someone whose behaviour stands in the way of that, then I don't object to seeing them go. Especially when they don't have any reaction to attempts to get them to stop.

I'm beginning to wonder if Sakurako dropping cake isn't some sort of fetish.

Except the Producer in the Cinderella Girls anime is so passive and fades into the background so much it's hard to see it as a harem. The one time the girls think that someone actually is interested in him that way, it turns out to be totally not the case. It's not really a yuri series, per se, but if it's trying to be a het one it does a really poor job of it.

I thought it was set a good while ago at first but it seems contemporary. Do they really still have Geisha who dress and live like that? There can't be many surely.

From what I've read, yes. There's this whole idea of the living cultural treasure thing in Japan, where you've got people whose job it is to carry on ancient ways or crafts and be visible doing so. So geishas walking the street and doing performances at festivals, traditional craftspeople, and so forth.

Is it set in that historical reenactment area of Kyoto? Seems odd how everyone is always dressed like they are from the Meiji period or older.

As above, the modern geisha do it as a full-time lifestyle until they retire. So they dress like that in public and are trained to speak in a manner that matches, which is probably where the awkward dialogue comes from. I can't imagine it's easy to translate the courtly/archaic/oblique phrasing well.

Ten thousand WidowTracer pics since Emily was introduced, and now we're complaining about cheating?
