the incest plot was kinda fun at the beginning as a novelty but righ now it feels like the pace slowed to a crawl, if these past chapter are just a transition to the hajime x momoka plot that´d be great. Honestly im just glad that i don´t have to see shiho so not really as dissapointed as others

kinda weird that momoka and hajime have been together for some time yet momoka thinks hajime hangs with her out of obligation/consideration????

i mean can you really live of the past with the moderate success that citrus had

What are you talking about? citrus is one the biggest series not just on YH bu of the genre itself. That is precisely why sabu is allowed to do whatever she pleases.

idk about that tho, i don´t think it reached yuru yuri levels of mainstream popularity and yuri itself it´s a really niche genre, so while yes some time ago it was really popular among a really small set of manga reader, i don´t think it has the cultural impact to just live of his past

i don´t know why people are so mad, im loving every single page of this hot mess, the fact that yuni wants nanase to leave not fuuko, also the scene where fuuko refuses to take her earring off is just so peak, really encapsulates the microcosmos of the manga, fuuko being the most assertive and alpha character while nanase the type of character that will leave girlfriend alone with the girl she just got cheate

Another month with a big fat NOTHING!!!!! End it. Kill it. Over and done with. Author is too busy living off the past to care about the future.

Let's be real, though, would you really want to put a sweet couple like KaoMari through one of SasaKoi's signature drama arcs?

it´s not like they need to go through drama, most of the drama between hima and yori came from their involvement in the whole shiho fiasco a lot of the time they were just chilling and going at their pace. Maybe putting kaomari in a situation like that could work, or that´s what i´d like to say but apparently the average sasakoi enjoyer can´t read a chapter if it doesn´t have mexican telenovelas levels of drama

Because we know there's no danger to Shiho x Aki is why this storyline feels pointless. Like we all know how this plot is gonna go so it just feels like waiting out for Miki inevitably moving on from being too attached to her sister. We already have an amazing series that explores everything I could ever want from that type of conflict (My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover) so it feels redundant to me lol.

Tbf aki went through the exact same thing with yori, her feeling just sat there while the plot was happening until they magically disappeared and developed new one for shiho out of nowhere. With Miki at least her unrequited love and struggle to accept her sepai are the main focus of the story

I didn't think yuri anime could have that many issues/drama. I'm not really in the anime community but is this common in the industry?

The industry has various problems, last minute production schedules, crunch, and so fourth. The end of Zom 100 was delayed, the end of Wonder Egg Priority was delayed, with some others over the years of course. Another thing with series is sometimes we'll get maybe 1 recap episode to give a production a little more time. Of note though, Zom 100 at least early on was being talked about for various high quality animation scenes. Wonder Egg Priority despite it's story completely falling apart the animation was generally consistently good, and it had a small team from what I know. Both of those series pushed too hard with various ambitious elements. I think Whispering's adaption is one of the roughest I've seen in awhile, especially since it was never trying to be ambitious, and yet everything went wrong with it.

yeah there´s been several animes with delays, quality issues, etc heck even the 2nd season of jujutsu kaisen had a lot of problems, but in all of my years watching anime i´ve never seen an adaptation crash and burn so bad, really sad that happened to sasakoi, considering how well the maho ako anime did despite the limited resources it had

My point wasn't that his actions were unrealistic- it's that they were so petty and cruel that people understandably concluded that there was nothing he could possibly do to make up for them, to say nothing of characters like Ueno who were similarly cruel but much less remorseful for their actions. It's kind of like how, after Bakugo casually suggested that Midoriya jump off the roof in the first chapter of My Hero Academia, people held that one remark against him hundreds of chapters later even after he actually apologized to Midoriya- if a character's actions are bad enough, the audience becomes unwilling to accept that character being forgiven or redeemed. In fact, some people on this thread felt this way about Shizuku.

i mean come on dude i wasn´t just the casual kys that made people hate bakugo, he used his potentially lethatl powers to bully the scrawny quirkless kid throughout highschool. Even when they enrolled at UA he blow a granade near his face on the first day and kept his hostile demeanor towards him for a looong time, yeah shoya´s actions were petty but he was a grade schooler who didn´t knew better unlike bakugo whoe kept his harrasing campaing throughout grade, middle and some part of high school

btw leaving aside the horrible characterization of mei does anybody actually cared for the big revelation of the chapter i.e. mei buying the other school, like there´s even a point to that. Heck what´s exactly the point of this arc at all cuz clearly developing mei and yuzu relationship aint it chief

They've been steadily adapting 2.5 chapters (or half a volume) per episode. So YoriHima should become a couple for real by episode 6, and I believe this season's getting 12 episodes, so they may cheat a little and get to chapter 31 (the big damn YoriHima fireworks kiss) to finish off the anime. There will be no time to actually finish (Shiho's) band battle arc (chapter 44) unless they rush to the point of the adaptation becoming a gigantic train wreck.

Yep just checked and you're all right, there it is shiho's introduction in volume 2 extras and they're indeed adapting 2 chapters and some change per episode, I guess since I followed the manga monthly from the very first chapter I thought that it was longer than it actually it is, Ups :P

But yeah the fireworks chapter is probably an ok point to leave the story, there's still a lot of things to resolve but the scene itself is a great climax for himari and yori

I don't know why but the anime feels extremely rushed, also at this rate and considering shiho's early appearance we're gonna reach the battle of the band's arc rather quickly and that one reeeeally drags
Assuming it'll have 13 episodes it'll probably end rather abruptly and feel axed
Sadly I don't think there's really a fix to that, the only real breather is Himari s confession and adapting 15 chapters into a full season would definitely feel way too slow

As always shiho ruining everythin
Just kidding (not really)

A really good work from this artist, though I am quite confused as to how did post-amnesia Kita even fall in love again with Ryo? Is it like a natural feeling thing?

it´s implied some time passed after the concert i guess ryo put her act together and kita slowly started to fall fo her again

As good as Koe no Katachi/A Silent Voice was, Shoya's bullying was a lot worse than Shizuku's, to the point that some people were turned against him from the start. He went out of his way to make Shoko's life miserable, ruined 1.7 million yen worth of hearing aids (well over $14,000 US), got the rest of the class to join in and ultimately caused her to become suicidal, all for no better reason than to kill his boredom.

that´s the thing tho, kids can be extremely cruel without a real reason, shoya´s actions are not unrealistic at all. I guess the point is that the whole ruri incident could be solved by with just a bit of communication and was definetly blown out of proportions while shoya´s long and hard fought redemption feels apropiate to the amount of hurt he did

I don't get it? What is the problem if she is saw again? Wasn't she not an idol anymore?

It's probably related to the reason she quit to begin with.

but like what can the director do? it´s not like she can control elm´s live outside her activities as idols, besides miyako doesn´t even work for her anymore so im geniunely clueless about what´s the deal here
