^ She's too lazy to keep growing.

I have to ask... is it really that big of a deal?

When they're flooding the images discussion with as many as 60-90 posts in one go, it's a bit disruptive yeah.

No, she's just a little sheltered/shy is all. She normally doesn't up a front or anything.

Oh wow waited like crazy for nothing i Think I'll quit this shitshow now

Congratulations, you're the #1337 leaver! Please take your cookie but remember... We'll be waiting for you to come back to tell us how horrible this story is and how much you hate and will never read it again!

Did anyone else get redirected to this page ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAYyPELvyqI ) after reading chapter 37?

I actually got sent here instead.

lol, those hands on page 7.

TO NEZCHAN: Please tell me where I should write chapter’s volume when uploading. Should I write it in the “Name” field? Because when I write it in the “info” field it’s always, always, always ignored by Mods.
This. Chapter. Is. From. Volume. 4.

Hm. I'll pass it along to dpf, who usually handles that side of things.

I don't think it's a secret that I hold shipping wars in pretty high contempt, so I don't recommend working to start one here. The ones over the original LL were bad enough; we don't need any for LL Sunshine.

Is everyone on the same page here?

They had lots of therapy after that.

Hi everyone. I was searching an one shoot (Yuri) where an angel falls from the sky and it is fund by a devil girl.
I know it's not so much.

Sounds like Honey Inferno to me.

Apples, mostly.

If the "director" was a man this would be gross and creepy, like, sleeping your way up the Idol career.

Frankly, the Director was a bit creepy in her obsessiveness in the series anyway. Plus she was the Worst Businesswoman Ever.

I really love how this made her a closet idol otaku, really into the cheer and doing our best stuff. It humanizes her a lot and blunts the creep factor.

maki : where's nico-chan?

Well, they're mermaids so it's probably more "I've already finished with her and now I'm hungry again. Nozomi, you gonna eat all that?"

I like the way the artist not only chose a crack pairing but also one they don't seem to care about at all. This is peak yuri-as-commodity.

I'm kind of boggling at the idea of these two being a crack pairing when I've read a fair amount of fanfic with them. Songwriter-composer is a pretty natural combination and there's lots of ways you could justify them making a connection.

That said, you're absolutely right about this basically being a commodity. You would literally take this story and plug any character into it with exactly the same dialogue. Neither of them are particularly in character anyway, so Maki x Umi works in it the same as, I dunno, Erena x any of the stage manager girls. It doesn't matter, they're both written as generic as can be anyway so why not?

But Akari was never portrayed romantically with anyone and that's why it was enjoyable as slice of life/seinen story ... It was never a love history and I doubt anyone wanted that, just like with Amanchu.

One of Akari's friend had a crush with a boy but that was established very early... Then again, I wasn't around during the time Aria was serialized.

It is sad to drop the manga at this point because of the sudden change in direction but that shows how bad it was handled.

I was just discussing that. Other than Aika and Al's relationship,which was largely presented in a very low-key way, Akatsuki's obsession with Alicia, and President Aria's unsuccessful courting of President Hime, there were zero on-screen romances or even close to romance among the main cast. Alicia's marriage doesn't count since that literally came out of nowhere at the very end, mainly as a device for Akari to take over the business. There wasn't even subtext that I could find, and believe me I looked for it.

I suspect in the case of Amanchu, the author wanted to do more of that idealized "close female friendship" stuff and took it into subtext territory without even meaning to, and got blindsided by people shipping the characters.

Well, if Mouko is with Kaguya, that definitely leaves Keine wide open for Eiren.

Couple of other details, one is the conspicuous absence of Youmu's ghost half. The other is the Eiren-branded calendar.

Same, it's so gorgeous.

And nice to see some UdoMyon, there's not nearly enough of it out there. That hand on Youmu's ass though, Reisen's gotten bold since they've been dating.

Not to mention, according to that legend a third party (who would also be a creation of the same God who made them) told Eve it would be fine. So in her innocent/naive state, how is she expected to understand that it's a bad idea at all?

Of course the whole story wasn't about what reasonable people (or a reasonable god) would do. It was, like the Japanese Inugazi/Isunami story, a "just so" story of how the whole birth/death cycle got going, with a few additional lessons like why we're not immortal, why women suffer during childbirth, why you should defer to priests as god's stand-ins, etc.

I'm disappointed in you, benja, for not realizing the potential of bread's harem.

If everyone was only a fraction as happy as Otter here, there would be no more wars.

GendolIkari is an inspiration to us all.

They say you can still see his headless body stalking through the night, and the muzzleflash of his thompson gun.

Me, specifically?

GendolIkari is an inspiration to us all.

And for the record, I have read het stuff that I really enjoy. Adachi's gentle sports romances, Usotsuki Lily (although the author kind of beat that to death), the really cute romance in Baby Steps, etc. So it's not like I have a complete aversion to het in the right context.

a lot of people come here looking for yuri and only yuri

And that's the whole reason I started this. WHY are people looking for yuri and only yuri?

Because...I'm not het and want to read romance stories I can relate to with people who are, at least on that level, like me. It's not really complicated.

Well I for instance am a straight male and enjoy reading yuri (and on the off chance yaoi as long as it's not NSFW)
You do not have to have the same sexual preference to enjoy literature. Would you stop reading a book because you found out there's a straight relationship in it?

So you ask why I look for "yuri and only yuri" and then shift the question to your preferences in your reply. That's not discussing in good faith.

I never once said you had to have the same sexual preference to enjoy literature and I'll thank you not to put those words in my mouth. I answered your question regarding my motivations specifically related to yuri.

Think about it: if people hate het manga, they're on the same level as real gay bashers (OKAY OKAY not as horrible as those cretins, but along the same basis.) A group of people hate a certain group of other people just because of the prevalence of a relationship that they don't agree upon

Wat.

Exactly what I said. "A group of people hate a certain group of other people just because of the prevalence of a relationship that they don't agree upon"
Sure, gay bashers may have other reasons (unethical, religious, no family, etc) but that's not the point

I think you're reaching incredibly far in order to paint people who don't want dudes in their yuri (particularly in a romantic context) as being some kind of extremists. It's a bad look and I don't recommend pursuing it further.

Nevri, could you confirm if that's a veiled threat or a joke on how some other folks overreact to questions like that.
