Does this really earn lolicon based on its content?

Suu-chan is going to have not just her body but also her mind and soul be tainted by Hijiri

Not to mention her lungs.

No, this is clearly an AU where Chinese genetics include white and pink hair.

:p

Please do not annoy the translator.

Those kinds of responses are always funny. 361 chapters in: "what, this is what I was reading?!"

"they put age gap in my age gap! how dare they"

Seagull: Ashima, the dark-hair sister? She wasn't that bad, considering circumstances. "Terrible personality" is the MC's 'friend', the one the MC was getting away from. Tall glass of utter toxicity there.

This discussion has made it abundantly clear that the vast majority of yuri is created for girls by girls. Men can read it if they feel so inclined, but they're not the target segment.

It made it clear the vast majority seems to be made by women, yes. Saying the vast majority is for women is a very different claim, and not substantiated. When there are literally as many men as women reading, it would behoove mangaka or their editors to consider tapping that audience.

"Yuri is only made for male gaze" is false, but "men are rarely the target audience" seems unlikely too.

cishet men not the target

Yuri Hime S was an obvious exception. Wiki mentions 'moe' rather than 'smut'

I recognize only one of the titles mentioned in it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Yuri_Hime_S
(Wife and Wife)

An old forum comment says "I have to say most of the plots found in Yuri Hime S tend to be a mixture of cutesy moe antics with schoolgirl crushes that may or may not go anywhere"

Author just really wanted to write a ghost mystery story but without starting a new series lol

Hey, it worked.

Seagull Villa also had the incest sisters side plot. I dunno if that's a recurrent theme.

https://floatingintobliss.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/yuri-isnt-made-for-men-an-analysis-of-the-demographics-of-yuri-mangaka-and-fans/

Authors:

I found that out of the 150 mangaka, 91 were female, 20 were male, and 39 did not have a listed gender. This means that 60.66% of mangaka were female, 13.33% were male, and 26% were unknown. Of those with known genders, 81.98% were female and 18.01% were male. This means that at least 60% of these mangaka were female as a whole, and at most 87% of these mangaka were female as a whole, depending on the genders of those not listed.

Readers:

The first is the Comic Yuri Hime survey. According to a 2007 poll by the magazine, 70% of Comic Yuri Hime readers were female. This poll has a response bias and it’s worth noting that this was before the magazine merged with the more male-oriented Comic Yuri Hime S, but it is notable. According to The File on Yuri Works, only 62% of Yuri Hime S readers were male in 2008, before the merging of the magazines.

And:

In her unscientific survey of Japanese yuri fans online she found very interesting results. According to this survey of 1352 people, 52.4% identified as female, 46.1% identified as male, and 1.6% identified as other.

According to her survey, 30.0% of respondents were non-heterosexual women, while only 15.2% were heterosexual women(a significant number of people chose ‘don’t know’ for this section.) As a result, we can conclude that roughly 66% of women taking this survey were women who are attracted to other women. In this survey, non-heterosexual women outnumbered every group other than heterosexual men. Non-heterosexual men accounted for around 2-3% of the total survey.

I note that the 'unscientific' survey of Japanese fans has results fairly similar to the equally unscientific Dynasty survey, at least in M/F ratio. She notes an English-language survey also with similar M/F, though much higher 'other' gender and non-straight (male and female) percentages.

Exact numbers are unknowable but it seems pretty likely that male/female is roughly even, in and out of Japan.

It would be interesting to know if Yuri Hime and Yuri Hime S had a notable difference in their types of yuri, like soft romance vs. "tribbing by page 3" smut, or something.

Eua? Satoko time loop? Is this visual novel stuff? I've only watched the original anime and Kai, so I'm totally lost.

Mio/Koharu incoming

^ No clue, but most manga on the reader are "for girls" in Japan.
Anyone knows if people in this forum were ever polled on gender, identity, etc.?

Dynasty Scan demographics. even m/f, 60% queer, large trans component,
super young but maybe Discord bias
cis men, cis women, trans women, tiny trans men
het cis men 35%, cis lesbian 18%, trans les 6%
45.7% male, 44.5% female, 9% non-binary

Yeah, crazy sister.

Single people can have wider beds because it's nice, and multiple pillows because they like propping their head up, or leaning against pillows while they read.

Saburouta successfully captures the mind-numbing feeling of a boring school assembly speech. Well done?

chapter 4 has "next chapter" linking to chapter 2

Warning: it stopped updating here, and you'll eventually have to go to mangadex for later chapters, many of which have poor translation.

They met in high school(?) and bonded over manga and have been together seemingly for a while, but now the blonde is leaving for somewhere else and she is breaking it off even tho brunette doesn't seem eager to do so. At least that's what I took away from it.

Why would you sleep like that with someone you broke off with?

Too poor to sleep anywhere else.

Walpurgisnacht! Is this going to get serious? Will this all be one of Homura's failed timelines?

People seriously arguing whether there's anything romantic going on when Aya once again calls Mitsuki her crush.

Well, we're reading in translation, so 'crush' may be the translator's choice...

This bonus chapter is super cute! But it's also, uh, kinda hard to get invested in Diana's obvious crush because Natori and Lapis are clearly the main couple. It's kind of why I always dislike love triangles, because someone's always going to get their heart broken.

poly poly poly

'Mom suspects her daughter has a boyfriend' plot :p

Am I the only one who's confused by the phrase "I'd Say You Got Your Just Desserts" from the recent chapters first page ?

Common English phrase. Note that there is only one 's', you added an extra one. Basically, "you got what you deserved", 'desert' here being a noun form of 'deserve', unrelated to the Sahara desert.
