If you're making this kind of mistake you might as well fully commit and dive into those face-first

Yee, best girls

Neat, even if it's for the spinoff I'll take my Gabriel goodies

I know it's a joke, but it's a real pet peeve of mine when something like this happens in real life. "But you two are gay why aren't you together"

I should re-read the manga to see how it holds up after all this time.

It's my headcanon that Little Gui talks Shushang into lots of gay stuff and explains to her that it's all for likes and popularity, but in reality, it's just so that she can do gay stuff with her.

But she's up there on the list of people who need a Stelle hug, so it balances itself out perfectly

Those panty guessing games are getting out of control

Bless the translator for not keeping us in suspense for too long.

As for the story I have no words. No, I do have an open question. Will this become a monster collecting thing, or will it just be two-three (or a few more?) of those to give us a different perspective on this whole monster world?

I don't think this development feels very forced or unnecessary at all. It actually makes a lot of sense to me, honestly.

This is p much their first encounter with a couple of things, namely direct opposition to their relationship and the jealousy that's brought on by said opposition knowing a side of your lover that you don't.

Mashiro was already struggling with feeling like a burden bc of how Nagisa and her met. Now someone who knows her gf from a time "before her" comes along, tells her to her face that she's a bad influence on Nagisa and she beats herself up over feeling jealous of that person. A real hattrick of insecurity.

Meanwhile Nagisa reels from being ambushed by the pressure of someone idolizing her and having to put her foot down against their talking down on her gf. And then when she catches a glimpse of Mashiro's cracking facade she gets real concerned of course, the time when her gf broke down bc she found out about their first meeting prob still fresh in her mind.

But instead of talking to her about it Mashiro tries to play it off, which hits Nagisa with a double whammy of "Oh, I guess she doesn't trust me enough to confide in me" and "What if she runs away from me again?", making her feel hurt.

And thus is the volatile cocktail of hurt feelings and uncommunicated worries created. All in all i think this is a normal, and dare I say necessary, direction for their relationship. Working through conflict makes a bond stronger after all. And the chapter is even titled "Misunderstanding", smth like this was inevitable, really.

That's the part I agree with. I think what creates issue(s) for some people and partially me as well is that it all happened so suddenly. But even then, it's a heated argument so maybe it's just how it's visually represented that creates this odd dramatic overblown effect.
There's a chance I'll eat my words, but till I see the next chapter I wouldn't go as far as compare it to that awful Kase-san arc.

I admit I thought this manga established how the story would go and at best we could later wonder what kind of outcome we'd get with those two. I did not expect this kind of twist to happen. With art, the ridiculous premise, and an amazing translator(s) peopleperson this is prolly my favorite thing to follow right now.

Having finally watched it I understand why people thought it was... Well, not as good as it should be. It felt like half of the episodes were missing past the halfway point.
I still think it's a fun anime and I love those two.

It's hard even to make those "They'll marry and still worry if the other person sees them that way" jokes since the story itself is basically becoming just that.

Wasn't there some tiger mommy in the 5.0 trailer

^My favorite types of shows. Leave the shipping and romance to the fandom.

The evil sempai and the clueless kouhai

Oh, I watched it recently. Someone told me that it's like the OG yuri or something. So I did. And then one of them turned into a car and I got very confused.

We need more girls. How about a time cop trainee that will chase after them for potentially screwing up time.

the most wholesome of pairs

This was pretty sweet

^Is the series any fun? I'll finish the Jellyfish one in a few episodes and was curious if I should pick this one up. I heard mixed things.

^While I hated the novel I would love to get a second season of the show, although I'm afraid it was treated like one of those "Advertisement" anime.
And seeing those other titles you mentioned I gotta say, yuri anime doesn't get any respect.

Duality of siblings. One allows you to make a wholesome surprise cake party, the other sneaks in secret rare Bocchi sightings.

I like the name Gayne
