Could people STOP comparing this to being trans? No one is dealing with their gender identity.
Someone is confused about SOMEONE ELSE’S and shenanigans happens.

Thank you! Neither Handsome Girl nor this have anything remotely to do with trans issues, even ignoring the fact the author makes this clear.

Just because someone is a "tomboy" does not make them any less feminine or somehow automatically one questioning their gender. That's a gross oversimplification if a very complex issue. The comic is clearly tagged girls love/yuri and is not tagged LGBTQ+. Let's leave it at that and move on.

yes, there's no indication whatsoever that this is a trans story. the presence of shared thematic elements (i.e. queerness, not conforming to stereotypical appearance/behaviour of your bio sex) doesn't make it one, relatable as it might be

anyway, what a cute and good chapter.

oh...

well that's a shame, this was a fun one. peace

While interesting, I don’t think our protagonist is particularly bright given her supposed age. For one it would be REALLY easy to determine which day was chosen. She just needs to keep a journal and mark down a number for each day. Which ever number is kept when the next day comes around is the day that was chosen.

Also, it would be actually pretty easy to prove what’s happening with the help of 1 other person. This person wouldn’t even have to know about her condition. Simply ask them to generate an word file with a ton of randomized words. The next day after the word file is generated she’ll ask to be told a specific number word in the sequence. Whenever a day is chosen she can reiterate all the words she learned from the days that weren’t chosen, proving she has information she couldn’t have.

the first idea is good, i think, but as for the second, how would anyone but her know what the correct strings of words from non-chosen days were in order to check?

exactly as advertised, 5*, would read again

thread is like exactly half "haha having friends is gay anyway" and half "i. am. adachi." and that's probably ok

amazing, the characterisation is spot on. i think i'll always be a yukilisa girl first but this ship is lovely too - the softest butch, the hardest femme. so cute!

yeah given that it seems like it's gonna be one pairing per chapter i don't think it will be hard to keep up with

so it's mieruko-chan but she's gonna hook up with a ghost idol?

so in.

well, none of them really swear at all, do they? but in a world where they did, i think nico might well be the one who swears a lot.

much as i love nicomaki, nicokoto is a bit of a rarepair guilty pleasure for me, so this was nice.

I think I heard somewhere in a pre release interview that the show isn't meant to be a yuri show, but there honestly isn't a heterosexual explanation for anything they've done so far.

to be fair if we only count ones where there is an explicitly romantic kiss on screen between two female leads there have been about 3 yuri shows made ever

you can always go back and re-watch, it definitely stands up to repeat viewings :)

sol about a bunch of useless dumbasses maybe kinda trying to better themselves? i'm in

...so are we meant to understand that the prez somehow arranged things in the hope that she would get struck? because even by his standards that's a very roundabout and imprecise way of trying to kill someone

i just wanted to touch my good friend's boobs and thighs platonically, much as a pal or bro might!

fashion is a petty affectation of the bourgeois...but i still like it, and i enjoyed this!

in terms of what their respective 'likes' meant, my read is that miyako's is more serious. she hears the word and appears to consider and perhaps realise something, before stating her feelings quite simply. suga, though, doesn't seem to get this, or perhaps can't believe it and so replies flippantly.

just a guess, but that's how the various subtleties of the interaction struck me. this was also masterfully done imo, just an all round excellent chapter

Ngl, the idea that prez is actually right in all of this has gotta be the most unhinged take ive seen on dynasty and thats saying alot lmao.

ikr

aaaah the president is so damn insufferable! the author is doing almost too good a job making me hate the smug twat

satsuki's pulled off some wild last minute saves but i have a bad feeling about this one...that i really hope is wrong.

do your best, momo! reassert your rightful position as the top!

sometimes i find ero works of very favourite shows a bit offputting but this was awesome. also, i love lico and they got her absolutely bang on here.

in the end it will go where it goes.

i just noticed mitsuki is wearing a gorillaz tank on page 1 :)

the thing is, ambiguity of relationships is one of the classic yuri tropes, and in fact it's only relatively recently that explicitly romantic, let alone sexual, relationships have become more common.

i'm not pointing this out so much to come down on one side or the other but to say that worrying about the exactly defined genre of a particular work might not be very fruitful. which for all i know is what the author is expressing in that interview excerpt.

woohoo, kanata not a siscon confirmed!

I agree with you here. Someone might not be able to classify this as "yuri" the way they would for obvious romances like Bloom Into You or Citrus, but it's every bit as defining and in the yuri canon as Utena and Madoka (unless the above is the kind of person who wouldn't watch Madoka because it's just yuri bait. And I mean, damn, Claudine and Maya get symbolically, and practically literally, married in the movie.) Plus, the series is worth it because it means you get to watch the movie! What a treat

right, and with the kaoruko and futaba scene in the movie, and the way those two end up there is basically no ambiguity there. and junnana! so good. damn, now i wanna watch it all over again

There's always a message that tells "You like that ship? Watch the anime" and at this point I don't know why I am refusing to do it. I am addicted to this ship lol

Personally, my reason is that I just get frustrated watching series that are clearly yuri baiting but won't commit. Better to just read the fan works in that case.

this is only my opinion but i think starlight definitely goes beyond yuri-baiting, even if the couples might not ever actually kiss on screen.

seriously, it's one of my all time favourite animes and i think anyone skipping it is really missing out.

e: oh, and this was a fun manga! ty tlers
