Not the chicken with the reindeer antlers.

Also, even though I can't read Japanese, I noticed the onomotopoea in the last two panels was identical, so I managed to pick up on the auditory punchline, which was nice.

Even her text bubbles have frozen solid. I should not be surprised.

A story will live on in the hearts and minds of those who love it, long after the final page is turned.

With all the rom-com style stories of people who are obviously in love but can't ever get to the point where they express it (very often due to a complete failure of communication, which is especially frustrating!), I enjoyed this breath of fresh air.

I'm glad these two took their feelings seriously. Love (and yuri) is no joke!

Less than a day spent baking sweets, and she already nailed the "here's one I prepared earlier". Bravo, Hinami. Chef's kiss.

I... was honestly expecting more Greek mythology in this one, but this route is fine too.

On reflection, I guess Hinami wouldn't have gone out to cavort with Amazons when she's already got the girl of her dreams.

Always nice to see proper knolling.

Of all the holes to squirt milk out of, I'm glad they erred on the side of "cartoonish" and chose those, rather than note that the tear ducts are connected to the sinuses...

And I take that after an admision that she's getting excited for wearing Tsukino's underwear, right after the acknowleging that Himami has actually propossed to her several times, the staff here will STILL insist that this work doesn't deserve the yuri tag for her blatant, even if unrequited, afection.for Tsukino. Oh, look, what a beautiful and perfectly heterosexual friendship!

They're clearly roommates. ......... cough

Leave it to Hinami to also buy the mannequin...

I hope she didn't kidnap this one...

Well that's heckin' wholesome.

Did she go back in time and prevent her mother from meeting her father? Is that ......... is that even how her species works....?

The plagiarism goes extra hard on this one, since the character Tetsuwan Atomu (Mighty Atom, outside Japan known as Astro Boy) is indeed powered by atoms (one would assume, therefore, a radioactive core, but I couldn't find any specificity beyond "atoms").

Today is carb loading day! Don't forget to- oh, you're already taking care of that.

Credit where it's due: the exact opposite side of the planet from Japan is (roughly, depending on where you are in Japan) about 600 miles south-east off the coast of the southern tip of Brazil.

A true professional would ask the hair for consent first.

That pose has to be some sort of running gag right I've seen a lot of it recently

It reminds me of the Cactuar from Final Fantasy, but I feel like it's probably some sort of stock pose that is even older; maybe originating from a 'pedestrian crossing' street sign or something? Would be interesting to find out the history on it!

This series is like if 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once' was a slice-of-life yuri manga.

Shiisaa yaibiimi?

Okay, but, listen. Virtual reality for seniors lacking mobility is a really good idea, actually. And hey, if they want to use that tech to pilot giant robots and fight biblical angels and/or eldritch beings and/or allegories of erectile dysfunction (listen, Evangelion is fucking confusing, alright?) then more power to them.

To add my cent to this discussion (I can't add two cents; I'm not that mentally wealthy): I've seen a few gender-bent stories where a male is transformed physically into a female, but the internal monologue of the character still presents as male. In English translations I can only assume we've lost some masculine pronouns (this is an assumption since I don't know Japanese and cannot confirm), but more specifically, this is shown in the artwork: internal thoughts will be associated with a rendering of the character as they were in their male form. To me, this ... kind of communicates that the character sees themself as a male, and if that is their identity, that is what they are, regardless of what they look like.

Though, I suppose one could also read it as... the way a character is introduced is meant to be a sort of identifier that will carry through the narrative; where that identifier appears, the story is communicating to the audience "this is that character". If that identifier ever changes, it could be confusing. For a gender-bent narrative especially, it could reinforce the trope that the character is gender-bent; if a male-to-female bent character ever switches their internal identity to female .... then ... they're not a gender-bent character anymore; they're ...... just a female .... who didn't start out that way. The story would stop being a "gender-bent" story and transition (hah) into a different type of story.

Is it still yuri if a male-to-female gender-bent character identifies as male? Is it still yuri if the artwork is female-female but the narrative relies on the identities of the characters being male-female? Are all labels ultimately arbitrary, malleable, and confusing when overanalyzed?!

I like it. I like the vibes, I like the energy, I appreciate that the situation the MC is in is extremely relatable.

I can see what folks are saying about the artwork, but for me, there was something very familiar about it; it took me a few pages before I was able to place it: Cowboy Bebop. There was one episode which featured a moon of only men, and so, naturally, there were male hookers in drag. They had a similar vibe: as if feminine colours were crudly painted over a masculine form, rather than a harmonious blend which comes naturally from experienced and genuine self-expression. The fact that it reminded me so vividly of some one-off characters from a 25-year-old anime makes me wonder if this is "just another Japan thing"; as if this is that culture's visual shorthand (a trope, essentially) for "drag queen". I've seen manga with more ... for lack of a better term, "natural-looking feminine males", but these were either stories about honest transgenderism, or, the characters were meant to be androgynous as part of the conceit.

Art aside, the set-up and pay-off of "set off the fire extinguishers so no one will know you're crying" is, to me, enough to feel confident that there is going to be a real and honest character drama here. I'll be looking forward to it.

She's not wrong; "this same place" probably means "this exact same spot relative to the center of the universe", meaning the Earth would be nowhere near there.
