Only using this reader.

And there's your problem.
Plus, The Basics of Stealth was classified in Hiari as multiple one shots.

Holy shit, had to make sure there wasn't a "Completed" after that

Did the same thing

Me too

Well, add me to the list.

P.S. Totally sweet, this chapter.

I did also.

Count me in

Same.

I'm going to say I check to, so I can be one of the cool kids.
Even though I know final chapters of Hiari series' say "fin" not "End".

This didn't really have that much yuri in it, and it lacked IchiAoi. But it was still an interesting read.

it really seems like people who dislike others for careing about "purity" are wose than those themselves. They are so obnoxious about it. Some people don't like it, you don't care about. get over it.

It's a shame the chapters on this series are so short. It'd make a great anime.

Mitsuki could very much not exist and the romance would progress through other means

You are absolutely right. It could have. But guess what? It didn't, after their first kiss the relationship barely progressed, at all. You do not judge something based on what could have been done, you judge it based on what happened. This is very simple.

Either way, many relationships in romance have a catalyst for it to progress, be it an event or another person.

Confirmed for not knowing what MacGuffin means either. Will you please just stop. You basically just said that I thought cause and effect was bad story telling, which would be ridiculously dumb. Being forced and having MacGuffins are not the same thing as "events happening."

masterpiece

Did I say perfect, or masterpiece. If they refuse to acknowledge the obvious faults in the series it means they are delusional about it. Which means they are praising it for incorrect reasons.

Okay, see. Here's why despite how long your posts are nothing you say amounts to anything.

"pandering" when there's no reason to suspect the mangaka of not being serious

These two things have absolutely nothing to do with each other. To pander means to provide a low quality goods to a crowd that will like them regardless of quality. The yuri can be as serious as is wants, that's not what makes it good or bad.

You'll really have to point out for me where lighthearted yuri with actual relationship development/kissing is such a common occurrence.

I don't think anyone said this, at least not without you putting words in my mouth. The storytelling, events, comedy ect, are all generic and done to death by many other series'. You thinking that the kissing and other aspects of the story can't be mutually exclusive kind of proves my point that. that's all you're judging the series on. Whether you're aware of it or not.

it is absolutely clear beyond any question that Yuu and Haruka genuinely love each other.

clearly in love != depth
You also completely ignored my point about Mitsuki being a MacGuffin, and how forced the only significant relationship development is.

I maintain that any "yuri" fan who doesn't believe that the yuri in Sakura Trick is ungenuine or "just pandering" is spewing complete bullshit and are shallow beyond comparison. It's yuri for the sake of yuri and has no qualities other than constant kissing that make it worth note.

Of course, this being said. There is no problem with people liking Sakura Trick, it's fine for what it is. Just don't delude yourself into thinking it's the work of art you praise it as.

It's very easy to see why people think Sakura Tricks yuri is cheap, and that's because it is. The characters make out at the drop of a hat with no emotional build up. The story telling is beyond week and the only real relationship development is done with MacGuffins, e.g. Yuu's sister. She plays almost no roll in the story but if the diving force that make Haruka and Yuu progress their relationship. That is not good. Other than that the relationship holds the status quo. Haruka and Yuu are basically friends that make out because the kissing itself adds nothing to actually story or relationship. They go from just be normal friends to pseudo loves drastically fast with no clear cut reason past "the author wrote it that way."

All and all Sakura Trick is good for yuri if you're looking for nothing else. Of course it's probably pointless to say this here seeing as how this is raved as god greatest creation since sliced bread.

The time skip isn't exactly a spoiler. At least not if you actually looked at the cover.

I agree the art kind of kills it for me.

There is apparently a time skip right before the end of the series, and that's where most of the yuri takes place.

He's just trying to promote people to buy the tanks. The guy who scanlates this talked about it on /a/. It's not in danger of getting canceled.

This left a pretty bitter taste in my mouth. I'm glad Chris is happy with her sempai in the actual series.

I hear Yuri-ism got their hands of the squeal to this. Here's to hoping it gets done soon.

Bay far this authors best work. Though, her other works are great, too.

NanoFate will forever be my OTP. They're so great.
