So... this author actually LIVES the pure, innocent, sexless, beautiful, sweet, loving yuri ideal? Color me skeptical.
I dunno, it's pretty much identical to my relationship with my housemate. We've never dated, and would never date each other, but we're basically family and an outside observer would probably think we were married or something. Takemiya's description feels very familiar to me.
Certainly not saying it's implausible or negative in any way... in a vacuum. It's just, when you claim your life mirrors an unusual ideal specific to the genre you work in, it makes me go hmmmmmm.
It's also interesting, because her characters are often really blatantly GAY and desirious of gay sex. Not that you can't be gay and in a platonic primary relationship simultaneously, but it's interesting she goes out of her way to say she's different.
I'm sorry I don't really see where you're getting at. How is it cliché? What is it supposed to imply?
Are you guys saying she might be lying about her life? Why would she?
