Surprisingly good. The ending felt conclusive enough as well.

Nah Izumi is just sensibly aware of Nanaki's feelings and wants her to be happy with Kurokawa even if it means Izumi herself doesn't end up with Nanaki. She seems to be the more selfless and sensitive type of character.

This and the last pages are so heart-warming, For some reason it can be so sweet when the kiss isn't directly shown like in these.

Well technically speaking Yukari's eye ability IS a supernatural effect.

But what breaks the line between science fiction and plain supernatural?
For example see the last two panels: http://dynasty-scans.com/system/releases/000/007/103/Qualia_Chapter_07_pg31.png
Sure the explanations for her eye are pretty deviant and unpractical in a realistic sense but they are still based in scientiific theories, just not very realistically, but that's why sci-fi is about, right?
As for manabu's hand: http://dynasty-scans.com/system/releases/000/010/956/04%20-%207to2aNv.jpg
Hence why I mentioned in my post why breaking the cellphone should have not effect since this chapter stated that she no longer needs the cellphone after it turned out just placebo.
As for the plastic models: they are as on-plot as her ability of fixing Manabu's hand or Tenjou's body. i.e based on the two possible theories her robot-seeing eyes are also based on.

Just marathoned the whole thing, really didn't like the direction this story took around chapter 9 or 10, when the story dwelves into infinite universes of infinite Gakus trying to save Yukari, and also the yandere thing later on.
It reminds how pointless all her strive and just about everything else is.
It doesn't matter if one of her possibilities saves her because in an infinite number of universes she never needed existed to begin with. In an infinite number of universes they are married, living happy, in an infinite number of universes they hate each other to death, in an infinite number of universes they really never existed because they were never born, in an infinite number of universes planet Earth doesn't exist or just doesn't support life like Venus and so on...
Her strive is pointless because of this not to mention that the whole story became a huge convoluted mess!
I liked the story "infinitely" better when the author was keeping light and humble with the quantum mechanics, I liked chapter 07 and 08 with the Shrodinger's cat and other things, but the way it dwelved itself so deeply into exploring other aspects of quantum mechanics just turned it all into a mess, which is a shame, this was my favorite manga before it turned into this trainwreck. But in any case, in an infinite number of universes I'm really enjoying the turn of events the manga took.
The author's non-sense reached its apex on the chapter about the anthropic principle and how the universe could have been made to suit humans, when that not only misinterprets the actual notion of the observators but also introduces too much for the story to be able to handle it, convoluting it even more.
The last two chapters were beautiful, though.

One thing I enjoyed was researching terms and ideas that the manga introduced, and ideas related to them, like Dualism, Monism, Physicalism, Panpsychism, etc. As a tour into philosophy and physics this was certainly rich.

Also, I believe the tag should be only sci-fi without supernatural as all of it is based on quantum mechanics and such in a sci-fi nature, even if taken to an extreme, unless I'm mistaking what supernatural actually means.

Didn't see any yuri in the "boob grab" that just completely looks like general teasing between girls.
Regardless, I don't really care about yuri any longer, this manga has already been very enjoyable so far.

I mean that i don't like Morishima's art at all
Yeah that's just me though and i'm ready to let it slide if the direction is good, but more than anything i'm afraid that the characters will have really stale facial expressions, Morishima doesn't have much variety at all when it comes to faces and it would be more jarring on a animated work

Agree with above.
I'm anticipating this anime for a long time, and I can't wait to have another Kunihiko anime made, specially one with such an interesting set as Yuri Kuma Arashi, but Morishima's art is pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Still, with the fact a yuri-centered anime by Kunihiko is getting animated I wouldn't mind if it was animated with cray.

It wasn't so bad in my opinion.
The story was just very bland and a bit pointless in the end, what was the message of the manga afterall? I've been reading by big interval gaps so I don't remember much but apparently a whole deal of it was about separation, needing to have only one person tied by the red thread, or whatever
7/10 because the art is nice and the hugs were cute along with quite a few heart-warming moments

Wait... is it over? It can't be...
Well, really liked this. The yuri didn't really feel that out of nowhere to me, specially after finishing Lemonade.

Well that left an horrible taste on my mouth.
There are many things that indicate this was terribly rushed, as if the author had 1 hour left to deliver and did it in a rush. Terrible art is a starter.

Wow, I just knew he was talking about Keiko before the end!
I'm praying to the yuri goddess this guy doesn't end up with Keiko...

I'm with the others who felt this felt rushed.
It either looks like a longer story shortened down, or the author was inventing the story things as she published, without having looked too far on the story. That's just how I feel about this.
Still, the art is very good and I like Salome.

This looks very interesting, I hope the chapters don't take too long to come out, I already see myself forgetting the whole story each release...

So turns out this is a somewhat deep manga with an actual serious plot.
Would never guess from the first chapters...

So I guess we need the love triangle tag by now.

Well I thought it was brilliant.
It fights the idea that yuri relationships are just a passerby experience that happens during school, and is left at that.
But at the same time, it leaves a bit of ambiguity.
I liked it.

Not really that good.
Beniko is too annoying as MC. It's a bit fun when the characters are too angry sometimes, but all the time is just bad and I don't see how it can be fun anyway.

Why are there people complaining about the lack of sex? Yuri is about romance...
