I guess he'll be discovered and (probably) properly recruited for the effort sooner or later.

I mean the title is literally "I'll cheer on my Yuri Onee-chan" so I feel he has to get a clue at some point.

Hey, do you guys think Touko might be contemplating suicide after the play?

If she doesn't, I certainly will in her place after remembering those theories.

I think loving NanoFate is a law in the community or something.
Yuu and Touko from YagaKimi are also a natural pick for me.

I have no idea what it is about Bloom Into You that attracts so much of this sort of thing.

Didn’t used to. (I have noticed that generalizations about real-life behavior seem to be a flash-point across the forums—categorical pronouncements about what’s right/wrong/acceptable/not-OK seem to have a way of getting personal awfully quickly.)

Excuse me, have you read the first 100 pages of this thread? Because it was much, much worse before.

I have thought about that. I am always very careful to not throw ad hominem attacks at people, and instead discuss ideas.

I also don't want to conintue this any further, but just so you don't forget, you actually insulted many people directly before under the guise of "trolling". Don't think everyone just forgets.
And the fact that you don't notice your indirect attacks is also kinda telling... Well, as long as you actually think about it, that's an improvement. I also got a sharp tongue, but I tend to only reflect my conversation partner's attitude.

Anyways. Waiting on next chapter, hope Sayaka has a satisfactory ending better than sucking it up till high school is over.

Not gonna happen. The novels are ahead and there is nada in high-school.

@BV Have you ever heard of this flex before?
You take your hands... put them behind your back...
And then you push your face into the keyboard, because it would be about as useful as the stuff you actually typed.

^Except wingbro doesn't know that he is helping them get together romantically. From his perspective he just wants his sister to make a friend.

Hm. Someone who feels this guilty just from sniffing hair never has the mental fortitude to go further.

What's it gonna be? Hugging in bed? Sleeping together (not sexually)? We already had a lap pillow, so that's ruled out.
Something as crazy as a kiss is already out of the question, so I'm honestly stumped.

Sadly a completely realistic fear. Humans are shit.

Oh man… =__= The attackers were teenagers too. That goes to show you how important education and representation are when it comes to this stuff.

Crazy , the homophobic rate is geting up , it's like they hate that some people became happy in this life ...

The rate of homphobia is not going up. In fact there are far more neutral or supportive people with every year.
The actual difference is that the more public LGBT people are, the more the resistance from homophobes rises as well.
These people were here 20 years ago and they are still here now. But back then homosexuals would have hidden their true self and thus avoided such attention.

Of course these fucks have no room to escape anymore for their actions and will be judged by the law as they should.

I have a bad feeling that, regardless of whether or not this series ever gets a proper conclusion, there'll never be any conclusive evidence as to whom Nadeshiko is dating. I think the point is that it's a mystery and we're not meant to ever find out. I feel like Ai is most likely based on all four of their reactions to the accidental kabedon, but honestly it could be anyone.

Yeah Namori would never confirm anything that could change the status quo lol
And true it is supposed to be ambiguous on purpose, but I just think there are a whole lot more hints towards Ai. Whether Namori did this intentionally or genre savviness just tainted my brain, I can't say.

Hm, the last volume's special is still not uploaded.... You can only deny this site the Midori x Manaka goodness for so long!

I am not saying my option is better: I am giving the reasoning behind my option. BugDevil has her reasoning too for her options, which she usually provides. It’s too bad she also tends to throw personal attacks along with it, but I am used to it so I tend to ignore :P You gotta take the good with the bad I guess lol

If there ever was a case of the pot calling the kettle black... You always insult many people indirectly (or sometimes actually very directly). You don't get to complain about my observations that aren't even personal attacks yet.

If everyone is making the same observations about you, perhaps it is actually you and not me, ever thought about that?

Never before has the term "wingbro" been so literal.
Yep, just like in chapter 1, I love this idea a lot. Big sis is an absolutely useless lesbian, so she needs the support. And sure, you could replace him with a female childhood friend or something, but that ultimately just creates unecessary competition (at the very least among the fandom).

It's cute how he got more accessoiries as time went on too haha

Saki is really proactive about her pursuit though, so I think this will go smoothly either way. The moment she figures out that Shizuku is just awkward she'll probably be less hesitant too.

Ok, you're right, let's keep the sex of the person aside. I think excessive clinging, ask for a kiss and trying to pull an "i still love you" to your ex to make them feel bad so they get back together with you is way more aggresive than hugging and hand holding someone when all the people imply knows that you're single and clearly don't want to get back with your ex.

I know nene is not a saint, but no matter what you have done, who you are or what relationship you had with the other party, no means no and amane should have stop with her advances at the first negative, im sure that if kou rejected the hug and hand holding at the moment, nene would back off, sure, feel bad, but still putting kou's feeling first than her's. My point is, there's no victims here and they shouldn't be no martyrs, amane doesn't have the right to be on that title

Amane does however back off whenever Nene makes clear she is against it. Even that devious line of "You can kiss me, but I will hate you forever"... that is so manipulative. Nene does act exceptionally cruel or erratic at times and I think Amane worries for her.

That doesn't necessarily excuse her obsession, but compared to senpai who enjoys her suffering and is potentially responsible for a lot of it and compared to Nene who is throwing herself at Kou who is clearly extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation, I'd say Amane is still more of a good person. A victim to senpai, certainly that too.

Now martyrdom is completely out of place and I have yet to see anyone claim that.

The tsundere tag has led me here and as usual it does not fail!

So many feelings (especially after finishing the manga on another site). The conclusion was perhaps a tiny bit rushed, but at least the lead up to it made sense and was emotionally sound. I mean ultimately Akina was always just 1 step away from accepting her otakuness and confessing to Kaede. She just needed a tiny push by the end.

Now I get that this author's motto is "No girl can dislike BL" (something so obviously wrong I dont need to point it out), but for a work that so accurately and deeply portrayed Otaku culture and is overtly yuri, I am a little disappointed. Basically all female Otaku were portrayed as Fujoshi with the exception of maybe Mii-chi, who is mostly a gamer girl who goes along with anything her friends drag her into.
Even Akina, who has not shown a single sliver of interest in boys from start to finish and who has a gay breakdown for Kaede pretty much every single chapter still somehow has an interest in BL, even if it was downplayed.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with that, as Fujoshis or curiosity for that genre are obviously the most wide-spread in Japan and dominate the female Otaku scene there. But for a work that really did its darndest to portray every aspect (even the worst parts) of Otaku culture, I would have liked to see at least one Himejoshi. Yes, they are rarer and you'll much rather find girls who like both yuri and yaoi, but they still exist.

At points it almost felt like I was reading a BL recruitment flier, but hey, it's all fun and jokes. I really liked the sweeter moments and Akina was surprisingly relatable in some ways (especially when she tried writing fanfics). I really enjoy physical comedy and slap-stick too, so all interactions between Akina and Makoto as well as pretty much anyone against Konatsu were great~
(Speaking of Konatsu, the Konatsu x Touko shipteasing was strong and the author knew 100 percent what they were doing there)

Overall this was absolutely great, if only for the great character chemistry and somewhat romanticized portrayal of Otaku culture. In the end they are all just people who love their hobby (sometimes too much).

Ok, for all of those who are blaming nene and doesn't like how she is treating amane and seriously think amane is the victim and hasn't done anything wrong, try reading again from ch 1, but this time, picture amane as male.
would you still think that the way she (he if you really get in the part) is acting is okay?

Yes. The gender card is useless here. Amane doesn't do anything to Nene. While yes, she is clingy, she doesn't overstep any lines. Being unable to move on from a relationship is always bad, regardless of gender, but Amane didn't do anything worse than what Nene did (yet).

I mean if we flip the gender bias card, how about you replace Nene with a guy during her aggressive flirting/date with Kou? To a yuri community that argument will always make things look worse.

Now this one was probably the most hopeful and upbeat of the three. The Heisei generation (aka Millenials) decide the world now and can change some outdated world views. The old thickheaded men and women in charge are going to leave sooner than later.

Let's hope the Reiwa era is gonna be a good one.

Well it was pretty realistic, I'll give it that. Nothing's set in stone, though. There is still hope and that's probably the point of these stories.

People are expecting the wrong things from this. This was just an excerpt out of their lives, the idea that a new era means new opportunities and also that lesbian couples are hopeful that Reiwa will change the status quo.

Yashima also doesn't seem the straightest of arrows, considering she apparently rejects all her male suitors and was not really all that opposed to marry Sakano lol
