I AM THE WIZARD OF MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON MAGIC

Well, of all the replies I was expecting I certainly didn't expect this lol. Keep on topic, Gendo.

Do not presume to overturn the foundation of the universe.

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.

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.

Autumn, post that one more time and you get a ban.

I'm cleaning this up because again, it's not about the story, it's about a specific user. Not really the venue for that.

People have asked me to share my personal perspective on things that are brought up in the manga when it is something that relates to my situation. So if something happens in a new chapter that fits the bill, am i allowed to do that, or should i stay quiet?

While your perspective is certainly interesting and your experience is valid, I think the basics we've covered here already are enough. If you're willing to discuss it in another venue and provide a link, or if you're on the Dynasty Discord server, that would be absolutely fine.

Nez Note

Okay folks, it's time to wrap up the discussion of incest in the real world, at least until such time as the author of the manga chooses to include those issues in the story itself. This has been interesting at times, and I've been happy to give people a chance to discuss, but we've been around and around and around the same ground far too many times and the time has come to let it go. We're 26 pages in, that's more than enough room for everyone to have their say multiple times.

From here on in, please stick to discussing the story and the issues brought up by the author directly.

I expect a few people will still post replies without looking at this post, and I ask everyone else to not respond. If people are persistent I'll consider trimming or removing posts as appropriate, but I'd really rather not do that.

So Cutie Honey Universe kinda has a lot of yuri. Mostly for fanservice and a lot of it involves the villains, but...

(Also I'm not sure I'd consider the show good)

I remember watching a few episodes of the original Cutie Honey, and it started with her staying in dorms at a girls' school. There was a woman who looked after the dorms I think it was, who was a total, flaming dyke who was thirsty as hell for Honey. Played for laughs and she was supposed to be this butt-ugly matron, but at least lesbian elements have been baked in right from the start.

Are we really trying to ship-war over Touhou now?

Read "Letters From Earth" by Mark Twain, elevown. He gets into how absurd that story is in the third one.

I don't see why people think the quote makes no sense. The line from Genesis refers to the literal "forbidden fruit", which if you eat it means you are not innocent any more (i.e., you now know good and evil where you didn't before).

This is directly analogous to lesbian sex being forbidden, so when you "eat" (already a common euphamism for sex) a girl, literally in this case, you're no longer innocent. Or that is, no longer someone who doesn't know how good lesbian sex is, and as Vankomycin put it, "you can't go back to het".

The apples that appear in the image, especially the apple on the bed, bitten on the same side that one girl is "eating" her lover, visually reinforces this.

The body language in that scene seems to suggest that Kase-san immediately regrets what she said, and making Yamada feel bad.

That was one hell of an abrupt ending.

Straight from the bat is a legit terms. Also who the heck uses golf terminology in yuri (assuming there's a distinct lack of golf-themed yuri currently available)?

I'll be honest, I've never heard "straight from the bat". The usual way to word that is "straight off the bat".

Holy crap, condolences to friends and family.

Your reminder that this image still exists, and it's still awesome bro.

Yeah, I pretty much figured Tomekichi was "that" kind of yuri artist.
Well, it could be worse. A lot worse.

I don't get it, was something removed?

Not sure what you mean, but my point was that, while both this and Swap-Swap are an annoying kind of "yuri but not yuri" (at least Swap-Swap doesn't have men), it could be a lot less yuri, like the artist I linked to. As I recall, I read that guy's work because Nezchan was talking about it, so she could probably explain the problems with it better than I can.

Well, nothing too mysterious with that artist. All their stuff on the site is "two girls inviting the reader in" where that reader is assumed to be a dude, even going so far as to include mysterious white fluid in the shot. It's two-girl pinups and contrived situations where actual gay girls don't seem to have crossed the artist's mind in the first place.

shlick showed up again. Is this a new english word?

It's not really new. It's been used a lot in this very forum for years. And I heard it quite some time before I even came here.

Miho needs a new bra or I am blind. It seemed like her boobs grew three sizes too big when her shirt and bra were removed.

Given it's Ogino they probably think that Saki is an AA-cup.

You do know you're resurrecting an almost two year old discussion.

The funniest part is this is exactly how Victor would react.

Why female mangaka like to turn from Yuri to het NTR.

Because this was never meant to be yuri?

Has Amano ever done a yuri story at all?

Did you know? Every time some nerd makes a big whiny fuss about when the next chapter is, a scan group pushes their release back three days.

It's true!

I think we've had enough on both sides. You two have said your piece in about a dozen ways each, and honestly it's pushed out all other discussions. Touch gloves and go back to neutral corners now.

Ah. My bad. Lemme explain: April 1st is known as “April fool’s day” here in the U.S. It’s a day that’s basically meant for pranks and practical jokes. Dynasty didn’t actually remove all their stuff permanently — it’s an April Fools joke.

Just gonna toss in that it's not just a US thing, and it came from Europe (probably France) in the first place. So it's popular in a bunch of places. Including, interestingly enough, India. And obviously we have it here in Canada too.

The thing about April Fools day jokes is that jokes are meant to be funny. I am not laughing.

Ah, that's where you went wrong. Most April Fools jokes are meant to be funny and clever trick, but usually aren't because they're carried out by people who don't do funny and clever tricks the rest of the year so they're pretty bad at it.
