Okay, two equal marks on both beginning and closing of a sentence to hide it, got it.
And...
ANYONE HAVE READ THE LIGHT NOVEL TELL ME WHAT VOLUME IS THIS SCENE, AND HOW LONG MUST I ENDURE KOMAKI'S STUPIDITY UNTIL THE ENDING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TT TT TT

This manga is almost at the same point as the novels (as they are formatted on websites in 4 parts). This is about part 3 of 4. I'm thinking we have 1 more volume. Each manga volume mostly runs parallel with novel volumes (broken into 4 parts).

Guys, this is where you can read this manga's latest raw for free, they already release chapter 17 part 1: https://web-ace.jp/youngaceup/contents/1000259/

Anyways, this x2 hate toxic climax didn't appear in the web novellll, why author why you wound our hearttt
it's supposed to be softer than this with spoil for the web novel
after the fireworks, a few dates later wakaba replace komaki's broken pencil with a new one as komaki's birthday present, she soon confess her feelings to wakaba on christmas, they live happily ever after

This isn't changing things much. The timeline is mostly the same. Just the normal, slight updates for a manga version, fleshing things out a bit.

If you've seen my earlier spoiler comment, the character has an even more blunt discussion about this in chapter 5 (of at least the Coolmic long comic version) and this person denies that too. I don't think there's much point in discussing with them after that. It's not going to get anywhere.

You're right, sometimes I just can't help myself lol. Looking forward to chapter 5 :)

It's chapter 9. I made a mistake and updated my comment but you quoted so quick lol But yeah. That conversation there is not something that's typical in series like this, and if even that doesn't count for them, none of these discussions will. No matter how the series progresses or what the intent was, that's a pretty straightforward chapter that frames the character pretty clearly. Now we'll just see how the rest of the series handles things.

And again, anyone can read ahead and reach that chapter Here on Coolmic, because maybe I'm crazy.

I'm not defining what it means to be trans and it wasn't my intention to deny the journey or experiences of anyone. However, it's important to remember that we as a society and the medical community have definitions for what it means to be trans,

"I'm not defining what it means to be trans. That said, here's a definition of what it means to be trans: whatever a bunch of cis doctors think."

The character doesn't show a desire to be a woman in those panels, again it's idealization.

The character's ideal self is a beautiful girl, which means the character wants their self to be a beautiful girl. As a comparison: "NBA players are so cool" is idealization; "My ideal self is an NBA player" is wanting to be an NBA player. The protagonist just doesn't think it's possible for them to be a girl due to internalized transphobia. But the desire is blatantly there.

I hope this sudden development is not a sign of the manga being on the chopping block. Yuri Hime has been pretty ruthless lately. They did say they are going to debut one series per issue for the next 12 months, so something has to make way. Odoriba and Garan Hime just ended and will be joined by Black Knight next month.

Edit: Holy shit Wanna Skip School in the Infirmary is ending too. YH is not taking prisoners.

pain

I have to wonder if the editors making these decisions realize no one will be willing to get invested in anything new they publish if it's got a 60% or higher chance of getting axed within a year anyway.

Ah the Netflix (and other services) issue, many series get cancelled so less people engage because they're expecting the cancellation, which leads to more things cancelled. It really sucks all around. I hope Yuri Hime stabilizes because these cancellations suck :\

Odoriba ni Skirt ga Naru will be at least 6 volumes long and Garan no Hime is the type of fantasy/sci-fi yuri that very rarely manages to survive past 3 volumes regardless of magazine (not based on a light novel and not isekai or slice-of-life).

I'm a lot more surprised by Gakeppuchi Reijou, I expected at least one more volume.

Odoriba ni Skirt ga Naru's author also said the series went as planned and is ending as intended, so I wouldn't count that as an axe.

Its funny how much a single chapter of a pretty simple comedy is just breaking peoples brains.

People will twist themselves into all sorts of insane logical pretzels to avoid ever acknowledging a character as trans. We've now come to the radical conclusion that a "yuri heroine" actually cant be a woman, but is in fact a "moe existence". And of course we rehash the same tired arguments about how "erm akshully femboys are radical and cool and trans women are conformist/evil".

I for one am looking forward to more of this series.

They don't want to be woman because "women are cool" or because they think this will improve their lives, they want that because if they can't be that they can't be themselves, it's the same need a cis man/woman have to be their own gender.

The series tries addressing this. I would just let chapters release and see how you feel then.

I have seen what you imply, the character doesn't show interest in being a woman in future chapters

Well, at that point, you're either not being honest or there's something else going on. If being envious of women's skin, hair, cute clothes, and their general bodies while being dissatisfied with their own body and saying "I wish I were born a girl and want to forget my past," doesn't mean anything, there's not much to say. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Given the context of the work, that's normal. Also what he's envying is only the body, what they want is to have the appearance of a maiden, that's not what being trans means. He's not envying her identity as a woman, but her physical features, ones that he now has a man. What he needs to get past, and the work shows it, is this closed view of the world, the idea that for being born male he cannot enjoy the same things as girls, also he needs to stop idolizing woman. The girls showing interest in his male body comes as a way to show that they aren't as pure as he once believed and that his male body has qualities

I don't agree with that reading whatsoever, but I'll leave it at that.

It does have an English release if people were unaware.

Could you link please? I searched for it but couldn't find one.

Here it is. It's on Coolmic.

It's also complicated because the author said it looks like yuri but is not yuri, and repeated that twice. That could be because of how "yuri" is used in Japan and the sensitivity around it. Still, I thought it should be mentioned.

I hope this doesn’t sound rude but what do you mean with the sensitivity around it in Japan?
I mean the term -in Japan- is used for any gxg relationship, from ambiguous relationship, close friendships to confirmed lovers. I would say that people in the west are far more restrictive with it.

So the fact that the author and readers don’t see this as Yuri means that they don’t see our FL as a girl. (and with readers I obviously don’t mean trans people tired of ambiguity or people genuinely worried about how the narrative is going to handle her transness)

There are many instances I've seen where certain Japanese fans will have a, let's say, odd attitude about accepting trans women as part of yuri. My point was that the author might be sincere in their depiction of a trans character, but be wary of how they use the term "yuri," so as not to deal with any issues around audience expectations. Hence, the "it's not but it is" response they give. I'm not as concerned with random Japanese comments. They are not any better than random English comments.

This series is officially tagged as yuri on its home site, and the author seems to primarily make yuri series. Also, based on my reading of the future chapters, I would call this clearly yuri.

I've seen authors avoid using the term "yuri" in many series that are very obviously girls' love. Even "The Green Yuri" author has avoided using the term and discussed being uncomfortable with the expectations of it for her series. We would not question that one, right? I would not say the term is less restrictive in Japan; based on my experience, it's the opposite, because for some, it seems to come with some expectations beyond just involving women.

This thread is literally just this.

People just walking past 5 straight pages of trans people going "This is a story about a trans woman because this, this, and this" and a bunch of, as far as I can tell, cis people going "No it's not" as if that wins them argument points.

Some of the commenters who have shared their concerns about how the manga might handle sensitive issues were trans. While some recent comments have been insensitive (and increasingly weird), most of the earlier ones came from a place of caution, which I think is reasonable.

Disagreements about the story's sincerity shouldn't be a litmus test. In 1 chapter, everyone is genuinely trying to predict where the story might go, and many stories start one way that seems just as "obvious" but veer in another direction, especially series similar to this one's opening. As long as it's respectful, I don't see the issue with having different perspectives here.

Having said that and after reading further into the series I also agree with others and believe the author is sincere, so I no longer have any of my previous concerns. It's cute, though it has some rougher parts so far. I'm more excited to continue now, even if it still has some aspects I'm not a fan of. I will say, though, that most of the Japanese comments I've seen who enjoy the series do not have the same perspective (for what it's worth). It does have an English release if people were unaware.

Thought about this chapter for a while and coming back to say
It kinda sucks because this could potentially undo all the arc we had previously. I don't really see how this would further their relationship, this feels like reverting back to point zero. Like, this effectively makes the previous chapters feel pointless.

Sometimes you gotta go back before you can go forward, or something.

The protagonist wanted to be a girl pre-isekai. "I want to be a girl so that I could date a fictional character in a yuri game" is not something any cis man has ever thought.

For a yuridanshi? I've seen this said quite a bit, enough that someone writing a story about it doesn't seem far fetched at all. The MC doesn't think men should interfere with yuri and they've potentially found a way to do that without breaking their beliefs. That's a fantasy I've seen before. I don't get the vibes this author is trying to make any statements about gender here but we'll see. There's likely a reason they keep showing the male face whenever there's comedy. Other similar series do the same when they want to remind the audience it's a guy amongst women for comedic effect. It's one chapter though so.

If a "yuridanshi" fantasizes about being a girl so they could date girls as a girl...well, let's just say I think there's some gender going on with them lol.

In real life maybe but not necessarily for these authors. It's early but I'd have some caution.

Hmm, I hope the “I don’t have much time” is just a general hectic life need-to-accomplish-something kind of thing and not some terminal illness kinda thing.

I think it's just her being realistic about their age. Just a general feeling when you're about 69.

Also I hope her son isn't about to be annoying. I'm trying to be fair but his first impression is very childish and whiny and I'm hoping "controlling," doesn't also get added.

Someone needs to gives me spoilers for this. Does Komaki develop a working braincell anytime soon?

• Spoiler *

In the end, Komaki tells Wakaba that she loves her, that she always loved her, and blah blah blah. Wakaba doesn't know if what she feels for her is love, but she still keeps Komaki as her "lover." End.

you'll want to add == on the start and end of your spoiler section to properly hide it. So Apple

I'm not sure if they care. They just blasted "spoilers" that are without context anyway. That type of thing should be deleted by a mod or something.

Elsa is not backing down. Good for her to show her affection towards Evie is not unconditional. Set some boundaries, but then communicate.

Edit: I dunno why people are so pressed about this. You guys really expect their relationship to be just perfect with butterflies and lollipops and no conflicts? Sorry to tell you, but that's not how relationships work...

Yeah, that's always the reaction to this kind of thing. But I agree, she needed some backbone eventually and those lies caught up. She never told her about her past, reincarnation or anything. That needed to be dealt with. I like it. Even if I think the intensity is a bit too much too quickly, the general idea works and was a long time coming.

This should give them a good opportunity to clear the air. It's funny because "I'm In Love With The Villainess" is also at that same "let's talk," chapter based on similar deceptions. Such a coincidence, especially considering the other similarities between the series. I'm sure Yvonne will make things right.

Ok, plot is moving! Really want to see how they handle everything here. It's been fun. It's also matched the novel release almost 1-to-1, which I don't think I've seen very often? We're "mid to end" of volume 3, and this is "mid to end" of volume 3 of the novels, too.

so what decides whether a futa doujin gets the honor of a yuri tag or not? it seems random. it'd be nice if it was always like this so it'd be easier to find them.
i get why some people wouldn't want to see a dick in their precious and pure yuri smut but thats what the tags are for so....

If it's omegaverse, that tends to change things because of how that universe handles sexual characteristics. Those stories are often also intended as yuri where some other doujin are clearly not. Beyond that, I couldn't say.

Found it. Albino & Witch was the name it was by Tendou Itsuki

Just a heads up that the series has about 6+ chapters. I assume you know but since you mentioned less than 10 pages I figured I'd mention it.

"...only got a few months left before we graduate..."
= 3 years manga time

It took Sachiko from Maria-sama ga Miteru 10 years to graduate (which is 1.5 years in-universe).

Then we've got Virgin's Empire.

Super cute. I wonder if we'll get a continuation in the future. I love all the content produced for the YuriHime anniversary. They managed to get nearly all their big-name authors to produce something. This and "Tantan & Anne" could come back. Both of those were the start of something interesting.

What it makes me so sad is the fact that I am Team Mai and it seems, it won't happen... It looks like Ajisai-san will win ...

What makes you think that?

It's obvious, how things are growing up between Renako and Sena..
Spoiler: if we make a comparison on latest episodes in both the light novel and the manga, Author is building more interaction between Renako and Ajisai than Renako and Mai. Barely, there's Mai's appearance on the story and all Renako's attention goes to Ajisai

Your spoiler tags doesn't work and I don't see it that way at all. Besides She's dating them both. There are no teams.

Yuzu: “Let’s do a cute and lovey-dovey thing.”
Mei: “No.”

Because she likes Yuzu's gift so much and doesn't want to part with it.
