I kinda get the feeling that whoever wrote this manga just took the run-of-the-mill plot of a super typical, ordinary, lamestream harem romcom (the type you find by the hundreds in shounen magazines) and replaced the stereotypical male mc with a girl. Heck, if it wasn't for her hairstyle, you wouldn't even notice the gender switch.
... This is a world where males have gone extinct, isn't it?
I mean, even the mainstream romance movies are girl x girl movies.
When I read they were gonna see a romance flick I srsly flipped because in a boy-meets-girl piece of fiction you need a BOY! A male would appear in YuruYuri for the first time ever! This was momentous!
But yeah in YuruYuri even the big romantic blockbusters which are popular and successful are lesbic movies; and it's like duh, figures.

I'm like you I don't even understand why it should matter such a big deal to writer girl if her lover works at home or at the new shop they gonna open
Yukiko is slowly revealing their not so pure mangas. It's awesome as always! Dang I want more, this is way up may alley.
If this story is what we judge by, Yukiko is someone who knows irl the queer and lesbian scene in Japan pretty well, likely a lesbian herself.
It makes me ponder how many yuri mangaka are like her. Like in Yurihime and such magazines, anybody knows if they ever revealed numbers of how many of their authors are queer or gay women, how many are str8 women who are fans of fictional yuri, and how many are men?
I'm lost like a needle in a haystack, I don't get the courses at all. :-[
Health course is the one where you go all the way and have sex, that much I got. But the others?
The one Scummy-chan had before was a Date course for 5000 yen, right? And with that course it's fine to have a naked bath together, hug and fondle breasts? Sounds like a lot already.
Am I a bad person for feeling that nothing equals the satisfaction of dishing out punishment with sheer raw fist power and that we have been unfairly deprived of the glorious scene of Nikkaidou beating Toraiwa to a pulp?
My first reaction: "They got horror movie logic absolutely right! Now they start making love, and that's the cue for the Mass Murderer from Hell to appear!"
And when I kept reading it turned out to be not the actual script but Nanasawa's fantasy. Disappointed.
That's actually a sign of past trauma, most commonly of being neglected by primary caretakers. A common result is a dissociation of words and actions, since the former are controlled by the prefrontal cortex, which attempts to maintain an image of strength and self-sufficiency, while the latter are controlled by the deeper limbic brain, which earns to be cared for. As a result, the experiential and the verbal parts of the brain run on two different tracks, one screaming for help and the other rejecting it, without the person consciously noticing the dissociation. Because the limbic brain is ultimately the main driving force, the conscious one usually either refuses to process its actions ("No, I did not drink that milk, what are you talking about?") or retroactively justifies them ("Yeah, I drank it, because you left me no choice."). All-in-all, "Teacher He" is consistently written as a deeply traumatized individual.
Oh... em... gee!! This is so awful!
I will never be able to look at tsunderes the same way...
