was disappointed to find out the artist is Canadian and the Mischief Brew reference title wasn't somehow from a Japanese person. the Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid manga author is into that sorta music so I was holding out hope

On one hand it would be cool in an id-driven way if it continued, on the other hand the frustration is probably the point

If there's nothing as wacky as the first episode of the old TV series I ain't watching it.

Oh come on, this is too quick. =[

And now I look stupid for saying the story was not over, lol

To be fair, if Canno did get axed, then the story isn't exactly over- it's just truncated to a point where it ends at a certain date instead of following the original plan. This was one of my ongoing favourites, so I'm pretty bummed about it- it's rare to get a series that's well-written, innovative, charming and positively representational all at once. I do hope Canno doesn't give up on writing poly yuri after this- while there might not be a huge market for it, she seems hugely passionate about the genre, and you can see it in every page she draws.

Insert obligatory rant about Japan, shit taste and not having nice things here.

I'm upset too, but at least something charming and cute like this got to exist at all in Japan, for a short while. If America made a comic with this theme today it would be unappealingly drawn & chest-beatingly smug over its "serious realistic representation", thus far less fun... or it would just be plotless porn. The fact that manga like this can mix genuine emotion/drama AND idealized escapism this way is why it's great.

I don't take issue with it lol. I just know that for the longest time it wasn't a thing, but it makes sense now that Yuri Hime and Yuri Hime S were merged.

So does Yuri Hime allow male authors now (outside of the older manga about the male yuri fan whose name I forgot), or was Homura Subaru female all along?

I'm so glad it did go in that direction.

Nez Note

This nonsense is getting out of hand. If you can't be trusted to discuss it civilly, then you won't be allowed to discuss it at all. So exercise at least a minimum of self-restraint.

It's unfortunate, but we knew it was inevitable that Kanna would be treated as a Sexy Child. The doujin is here and it's not going anywhere, so while I understand the distaste for it that aspect must be kept in mind.

On the other side, just because someone says something you like is bad, you don't need to jump to spirited, and even nasty, defense of it as if they attacked you personally. Try to act like adults about this in even the most minimal fashion, please.

I trust we're on the same page here.

The manga & anime already portrayed her as a "sexy child". Their relationship was already sexually suggestive. What's next, "don't sexualize Boku no Pico"?

I'd get it if someone uploaded a Yotsuba porn doujin and people said "this goes against her characterization". I think the core of the issue is that "KANNA MUST NOT BE SEXUALIZED" in particular is a forced meme from people who don't want to admit that the character was intended to be sexually attractive from the get-go.

And don't say "Kyoani thought the manga was gross and made her pure!"; Kyoani added in the shot of Kanna accidentally shoving her ass into Saikawa's face in the Twister scene. It wasn't even all that sexual originally. They specifically had her in a fetishy outfit in one of the specials.

WHY WOULD.YOU LEWD LOLIS

stop sexualizing sex

^Yet it's legit two words, I prefer the more differentiated definition.

But SJW see problem where there actually is none,
or think their taste=law. This manga isn't a problem.

Completely... look at me saying right away that I want everything banned.

I've gone through so many lolis and never said anything because while not my favorite thing, they didn't rub me the wrong way. This one rubbed me in a very bad way (and I did read the manga) and I expressed it just like a few other people did without being rude or throwing insults.

What do you do? WAHWAH!!! SJW!!!

I'm going to quote Nezchan because it's true:

Take the "SJW" nonsense to Reddit where it belongs, please.

That guy's comment was bad but so are yours. You're the guy who made the "please remove this" comment on the last page after all. You don't want it banned but you do want it taken down and that's still questionable.

If you're so desperate to keep Maid Dragon sacred and away from underage sexualization then go complain at the author who actively promotes drawing erotic art of Kanna and has done it himself time and time again. Or go read Yotsuba or some other manga with a legitimately "pure" little girl character and not one that was intended to be fetishized from the get-go (no, really, I wasn't serious earlier; don't go and bother the author).

This stuff is just silly and the fact that you did read the manga makes it even moreso. This "pure Kanna" thing likely started as an ironic meme or troll and then somehow people started believing it. Now you have people reacting the way they did in this thread to the natural result of portraying a character the way the author did.

I wouldn't say that loli by definition means lolita-complex, because there's also the element of moe within loli characters, which in my understanding of the term comes from the desire of the reader to protect the character and wanting them to succeed in their endeavors. But this is kinda hot in all the wrong ways while also being hilariously controversial, shame though SJWs want to ban everything that sparks controversy.

"ALL THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK ISSUE ARE SJWS AND WANT THINGS BANNED" Oh fuck don't strawman like that, you'll just give the complainers ammo

People freaking out over this, please stop being delusional. This is an otaku manga made by someone with a loli fetish...

Depends. If a viewer is coming from the anime and hasn't read any of the manga (which sounds like a fair number of commenters here), then it's easy to see them objecting to this. Kobayashi had far less creative control in the former, which in turn is far less overt in its sexual content than the source material.

Having seen both, I much prefer non-sexual Kanna x Saikawa to a sexual one. But lolicons gonna lolicon.

Except the anime, while toning down the sexualization in general, STILL sexualized her. They not only kept in the part where Saikawa gets a glance at her crotch they even added an extra butt-in-face scene that wasn't in the manga. It was clearly portrayed as SEXUAL attraction even if it didn't have as much fanservice surrounding it.

Why not have both?

The guy has a bajillion fetishes and yeah that includes loli. He also has porn of a guy fucking a female horse in his Pixiv favs. Not an athro furry horse, just a regular horse but with cartoon expressions.

Dammit guys we had one rule about Kanna

ONE RULE

To be completely fair, it was broken by the DVD specials as well.

Then again, this was a little too much.

These characters were sexualized in the official material long before the specials:

Even if some people (obviously not all) doing the "don't lewd the loli" (what a contradictory phrase; "loli" is an inherently sexual term, it doesn't mean "anime little girl" it means "lolita complex") are joking they're still enabling the people who are serious.

People freaking out over this, please stop being delusional. This is an otaku manga made by someone with a loli fetish. He's faved sexual Kanna art on Twitter. THE CREATOR ENCOURAGES THIS. If you want a pure non-sexualized little girl character read Yotsuba or watch Isao Takahata's 70s slice of life children's anime like Heidi and Anne. There is no "purity" in this pairing, it was always sexual.
