how much gayer can this get.

In my personal view, this has gone from 'gag manga' to 'Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru' levels in the last few chapters. It might just hit peak 'Hana Ni Arashi' before very long.

I would say that this is beyond Nettaigyo. In this manga we know that the characters are 100% gay but one of them haven't realized yet. (Koguma)
Meanwhile in Nettaigyo both of them act gay but the author didn't label it as Yuri so it might end up being another Hibike Euphonium!

Wait, Hibike Euphonium isn't yuri!? I've only seen a few clips on youtube, but it seemed pretty lesbian romance-ish. The title sequence had the two girls connected by the red thread of fate, for goodness sake.

A lot of people already replied and i don't want to turn this thread into a Hibike Euphonium rant but you asked me something and i'll just answer it.

No, Hibike Euphonium ended up being Yuribait and they were "Just Friends" Everyone thought that it would end up being Yuri because of the way the author handled the story and the characters but in the end it wasn't.

That's why i said thay Nettaigyo might end up being another Hibike Euphonium (i hope not) because the mangaka said on her twitter that she didn't want to label Nettaigyo as a Yuri manga and that it was up to you whether you consider it Subtext or Yuri.
I'm scared...

If the the creator is leaving it up to the reader, to decide if something is subtext or not, doesn't it make it subtext by definition?

Yes, but idk...the story is showing how the characters feel jealousy or how they feel lonely when they don't talk to each other. It's way too Gay to be considered Subtext, besides, the manga is published in a Yuri magazine so...

If I've learned one thing, from these message boards, it's one person's solid yuri hockup, is another person's just friends.

Please in Mado-kami's tell me there is a physical release for this series

There is

Thank you so much!!! Hopefully we get a western release soon (my Japanese isn't nearly good enough to try reading it).

When you said “physical release” I thought you meant something different . . .

Hahaha nice.

Ummmm ooookaaaaay. I was just asking. Like I said I've only seen a few clips. I'm in no position to debate it yuri-ness. I was just just suprised to hear that it's not a yuri.

John, Johnny, Jonathan, sometimes just calling the devil will summon him. If you value peace, don't ask whether Hibiki Euphonium is yuri ever again. The yuri community has enough PTSD as it is.

ACK! Why couldn't you quote the edited post, where I deleted the extra 'just'. That version makes me look like an idiot. Well more of an idiot than I actually am.

P.S. It's just John, not Jonathan. You know John the Baptist and all.

Wait that made me sound like a religious right winger. I'm most assuredly not. That's just who I was named after.

I'm really not a fan when authors remove all of a vampires weakness's like that.

Aren't these weaknesses just stereotypes that people made as a norm? The author chose it. There is nothing that say that vampire have this weakness or this weakness.

You're right. The author has the creative right to do what they want with fictitious creatures, hence the sparkely vampires, of the twilight series. However most people have come to expect vampires to have certain traits. and if you remove all of them people are going to raise eyebrows. Plus, if you remove all of the vampire's traditional weaknesses, you create an unstoppable killing machine, that humanity has no defence against. We as a species would live or die at their whim. Um pass. Luckily there seems to be weapons, in this universe, that can kill them. Yay team humans.

Thanks. I was thinking Quite F$#king True, maybe. Yours sound more dignified, though. So, I 'm hoping it's yours.

Oh for the love of Madoka, don't start this now. The hellfires of Euphonium will derail this thread again. It's yuri-bait and that's it. Look over there! Is that yet another Hino-san chapter? knocks out discussion with a metal bat

People in the comments using the word "het" in a derogatory manner needs to stop. Bigotry is bigotry, and it's sickening to those of us who aren't indoctrinated into your gay superiority ideology.

QFT.

why would anybody start rumors...

Clearly they're in an alternate world were such a thing is far more plausible than IRL.

Damnit! They had a real nice vibe going there, for a moment. Then Hino-san had to take it a step to far.

I know the shying away from addressing people with their given name is a cultural thing, but it still weird to me.

Friendzone let's go

also

I'm so torn. I want to see these two get together, but that will end the series. And I love watching them flirt with each other.

Why does it have to end there? A good manga/show goes beyond that. That's why Clannad AfterStory still remains the top romance anime. Mangaka should stop doing this stupid cliche, maybe they don't know how to write anything after, not that it matters, most can't write the beginning either.

You're right the manga doesn't have to end after the hockup, but I'm betting it will.

I think, I might be insane. I keep reading this god awful manga, and expecting it to suddenly get better. I just need to accept that the main character is just a scuzzball straight girl, who can't land a man, but has a supernatural ability to seduce women. She uses her ability to mooch off other women, and occasionally fight crime. That's it. The manga is going to ride that supposed joke, until it's been augerred into the ground. (sigh) sadly I'll probably keep reading, and hoping that Yurika will actually develop some sort of actual feelings for one of these poor women.

Added with edit: The very definition of insanity.

Darnit so close again. Come on Hino-san, kiss the girl already. Man this manga is such a tease.

And what kind of logic is: "What's the point of practicing self defence techniques, if you don't use them"? Imagine if people thought that way about nuclear weapons!

It’s perfectly good logic. Just because you know self defense techniques doesn’t mean you’ll be able to make use of them in a dangerous situation. Most people panic and can’t think straight. Martial artists train until their techniques become instinctual so that they aren’t distracted by trying to think about how to perform them mid fight.

The ideal mind set for defensive martial arts, nuclear weapons, and hand guns, for that matter, is to hope to never need to use them. You're suppose to exhaust every other possibility, before resorting to violence. To have the mind set, why have them, if you're not going to use them. is just looking for trouble.
As for martial arts training, sure you want to train to the level that the moves become instinctual, but I don't think M.A. instructors are sending there students into actual street brawls, to achieve that.

"What if I get pregnant"?

No, you'd have to hold hands for this to happen.

Then how do you explain, the poster in Kif Kroker's health class, that says "NO GLOVE, NO LOVE"?

Do they really let teenagers live on their own, in Japan, or is that just another overused plot device, in manga and anime?

Do girls actually casually touch each other's boobs like that, or is it just manga artists catering to boy's fantasise?

While heart throbbingly adorable, I have to question, the wisdom of, openly flirting with your underage girlfriend, at her school festival. People might get the wrong idea, or the right one, depending how you look at it.

3 Useless Lesbians and a Baby. Which one's Ted Danson?

Naw it's more like goldylocks and the three yuri girls.
