What the actual fuck is with the afterword? Talmbout girl-girl relationships are all mistakes made by silly high school girls who'll grow up and realize men were the correct choice all along... GET FUCKED
Unless the author was being mournfully amused by all these stupid ass tropes, I can't like the spirit this work was created in
The author does say "straight people". If that was some sort of "yuri is just a phase" thing, they wouldn't bother to use the word "straight". They are just trying to justifiy why they still love the pairing, probably, even though they're straight. You have to agree that straight girls having lesbian sex does sound like a mistake of their past. (I don't think straight girls would enjoy lesbian sex, but that's another thing.)
By the way, considering just the anime, it makes no sense call it a "phase", because Reina was never in love with Kumiko. They had a lot of gay moments that KyoAni probably thought "well, it's two girls, no one will take it seriously". If that was supposed to be romance, we would have some scenes with Kumiko jealous about Reina's crush, but no...
It was bait, sure, but it was never supposed to be romantic in canon. Contrary to Midori in Tamako.
THIS!!
I'm still kinda bitter with KyoAni and their queerbaiting that caused all these arguments. I mean if KumiRei wasn't given so many lovey-dovey moments together (tell me when is the last time your friend bump forehead with you and tell you they are confessing their love to you), we wouldn't even care if they get together or not. Thankfully I'm well over with KumiRei in canon. I dropped the anime from ss1, so I can see pass the canon and read about them like they are truly into each others rather than finding reasons to excuse their straightness like the author did.
But then again, if you can't forget about canon, is it really worth it spending time or emotion on two straight girls who are just baiting tools while there're much more yuri materials out there?
