This is so fucking funny lmao. It's scumbags all the way down

Ningiyau is back, today is a great day

@Temp incredible comment, I'm really touched by the ease with which you've showed the place of this story within the wider yuri genre, effortlessly weaving in historical context and international fandom culture.

I really need to read some of Yoshiya Nobuko's works.

Really interesting one shot about the implications of a global "genderbend" disease. The trans woman who had just gotten bottom surgery, who then got turned into a man and had to start all over again has to be going through true hell right now, I do not envy her in the slightest.

Looking back at the number of series mentioning hormonal therapy and trans themes in yuri manga, I'm struck by the way that transgender topics seem to be a big part of the conversation about what yuri was in the late 2000s, but this same level of transgender understanding and visibility is almost entirely absent from yuri in the 2020s. I would love to see more explicitly transgender characters in yurihime

It feels weird to me that yurihime is ony 20 years old. Sure there was yuri shimai before but to think that the modern form of the magazine, a juggernaut of the yuri genre, has only existed for 20 years is still really crazy.

No one else is doing it like Sal Jiang. I'm obsessed

People complaining about "too many poly endings" should check the poly tag vs the love triangle tag and see just how common poly endings actually are lmao.

That said, I instantly got my hopes up for a poly ending only to be immediately crushed by the knowledge that there's no more chapters ever lmao. I just keep doing this to myself

This series just keeps getting better and better. The layers of onee-sama vs senpai kouhai basically start to delve into the core of japanese linguistic power dynamics and how those shape relationships between people

Honestly this is so real. Also boyfriend stuff aside this whole dynamic reads as really trans girl coded, like the small tits and having the complex over them, not knowing what bra size ur supposed to have cuz no one ever taught u, etc

The chapter almost feels like a soft reboot with an entirely different premise

The Gyarufication begins...

It's the gyaru-otaku synthesis really if you think about it

blood stained boobs are definitely gonna awaken something in both of them

The dynamic here reminds me of a lot of chinese baihe webnovels that have a ceo x actress dynamic.

What a hugely disappointing end to a great series. It feels like this ending caught the author off guard as well with all the time skips in the end. There was clearly so much more to this story that didn’t get to happen. Huge amounts of wasted potential but I still enjoyed the journey along the way

sex is a great way to blow off some steam and de-stress. Just saying.

fucking in a photo booth does feel like a very college era thing to do but its probably best to go home before the lesbian sex

every good village should have an unmarried herbalist woman who takes in a female apprentice

The chapter was a great metaphor for the series. Really enjoyed it.

I see what you mean, although moreso than "a love yet to bloom" this definitely feels like a step towards "a love blooming" haha

Honestly had more depth to Nyaan/Kycillia than Nyaan/Machu lol

this is gonna do numbers in the trans girl rank and file

Wow, I was right: they're going to make Circe the queen so she can legalise lesbians.

Especially if people’s theory that Garth may have been the one to save Circe and,

that means Garth can teach her the way of the Himejoshi.

I'll do you one better. Trans woman Garth x Circe

It shocked me that after how cynical the show has been, the ending was quite sincere and positive. Also shocking how despite the fact that both Satoko and Konoha continue to be pretty terrible people, it's clear that they've both made each other better, and found a really important connection with one another, and with their friends.

I can't speak for the manga but the anime feels like it has a very strong anti-nihilist sentiment by the end. Though the world that we live in is cruel, lacking entirely in justice, and forces beyond our control force us into conflict with others, it's worth it to keep living because at least we have each other, and that makes it worthy to keep on living.

the dynamic here is rapidly spiraling out of control in many ways lol

Phase 1: I gotta be a girl for the sake of the girl I like. <-- (you are here)

Phase 2: Learning how to act more like a girl is kinda fun...

Phase 3: the friends and community ive made as a girl have changed my life for the better, I don't wanna go back!
