Nice.

An excellent solution.

Pretty sure this series gonna be taken down from this site just like DEAR MY TEACHER.

No part of this series has been translated by Arckuno / Binbou Scanlations.

How to convince Hana to buy a swimsuit in one easy step. :D

Cute. And we have confirmation of other kinds of fairies existing now as well.

Priorities. :D

I guess if you are a queen, everyone self is a serf, it will be pointless to remember the names.

That is going a bit too far. Since, as you even continue:

Especially you are 4000 years old with a brain of a 13 years old.

It would be insane to ask her to remember everyone she's met over thousands of years, especially a short moment like this.

A team-up against her is entirely possible, but this series has always been very pro- Utena letting loose, so I'd be surprised if this new transformation is treated as being totally a bad thing, and I'd be SHOCKED if she ends up as less of a degenerate after this battle.

While I do agree with that, since it's clear that series has some heavy BDSM themes and symbolism, I think while Utena is clearly a sadist, it's possible what happened to her is example when you go too far. Utena most likely need to accept that she's not that pure, innocent girl that can't hurt a fly. The series started with her denying that part of herself, but slowly and surely she kept growing more and more comfortable with it. I think the reason she went out of control is that, she thinks that once she'll be defeated, everything will go back to normal as if this whole thing never happened and her inner sadist is afraid of being repressed again. So while Utena will be defeated, she'll ultimately learn that it's core part of her and she can't simply try to suppress it again. Basically it'll be about learning where the line of healthy amount of BDSM lies. Or so I think anyway.

I feel that the reason she wanted to be defeated is less going back to normal and more that she simply saw this as the proper way for a magical girl story to end after all of the Tres Magia got their La Verita power ups. Which does in the end, of course, still mean pushing down a big more sadistic part of her own desires. But for a slightly different reason, which may also mean a possible different route for the story to take if she can still remain in control after this awakening.

[…] a bunch of great yuri manga are described in this series. One is called Yuri Cafe, which I do not think is the actual title. The only clue I have is that the MC "becomes a lesbian" in it, "just like that." Anyone know what this is?

I couldn’t find where in the series Yuri Cafe was mentioned so I have no context, but the first one I thought of was this.

In fact, Marion Diabolito's post originally even mentioned that one by name in that question, but it seems to have been edited out now. It's apparently also the second result after Yuru Yuri when searching for yuri café on MAL, not exact title like this exists there indeed, although the manga database can be slow to add new entries.

Does this count as mutual wingmanship?

Grab the moment.

Sorry, that’s not how it works in yuri—you’re required to go through several chapters minimum of ignoring obvious signals, failing to take advantage of golden opportunities to confess, misinterpreting the meaning of the word “date,” and wondering if what the other person explicitly said is what they really meant.

Admittedly, this couple already did some of that as well. ;)

A lot more subtext and a lot less yuri than I expected from a second chapter...

Well, well, well...

And here I thought it just meant doing a 180. Didn't know it came from wrestling, either. Interesting

Ah, true, it can also be understood as turning on their heels if taken alone like this. Maybe would have myself if I hadn't already seen the TVTropes definition.

so I've seen it shortened to "heel turn" (i.e., "the heel turns") in casual online conversation more than a few times.

Your example of "the heel turns" isn't even wrong - but "heel turn" in this form would mean turning (into a) heel not the heel turning (into face).

[...] but it did show Hino that the moms "you're not needed" or whatever wasn't said in bad faith and it means she has her freedom, guess mom knows ?

That was her father and his utter inability to properly express himself, I remember commenting about that here as well.

Is that a new ship I see?

Very nice. ^_^
