If I had a nickel every time a yuri isekai protagonist turned out to be a copy, while the original was the ultimate villain, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

It's the haircut

I'm going to be real I've been hoping that this is a breakup and find new love manga since chapter one. I'm still interested if that's the tragectory of the story, but damn Nozaki has always sucked.

I'm not sure why people want them broken up

It's the ultimatum in chapter one, immediately juxtaposed to a bunch of gaslighting (not from the gf) where for some reason the MC teacher internalizes that a bunch of this is her fault and she needs to be the one thinking of others, then followed up by the weird dubcon interaction, and that their text chat is only messages about hooking up. It's a super fun, nonstop drama roll of a story, but it's wild. Like the student getting picked up by the police and not the predator. I'm assuming a lot of these things are just supposed to be gaffs and gags? That the relationship actually means something to the gf and she isn't ready to drop it at the slightest inconvenience? I'm struggling with like if this needs the drama and/or comedy tags lol

A woman liked me (a woman) on a dating app ~hours later~ "I thought that bar was women only but it wasn't apparently" "wait, but why were you looking for women only bars??"

I wonder why this author is so obsessed with trying to make their characters so oblivious OR dismissive of lesbianism altogether, like it should've been pretty obvious since the dating app event, why would you even wonder why a girl who wanted to go on a date with another girl is looking for a WOMEN ONLY BAR?

anyway, I just know IRL that after-puke kiss would've not been a nice experience for Natsuki lol

I think it's implied Natsuki is in deep denial about her attraction to women, or at the very least there is more going on than plain stupidity. It was established earlier that the dating app could be used to look for friends, and at no point did Natsuki refer to the meetup with Haneul as a date, even in her thoughts. She also expressed a discomfort with the topic of dating that she couldn't explain (pg 15). So I think her confusion over Haneul looking for a women-only bar confirms that she's not consciously expecting to 'score' with Haneul; she really was just curious about her.

Adding onto this, Hanakage Alt is something of a lesbian activist and was also involved in the butch yuri kickstarters. So, she's definitely intentional about what she's writing

gquack is like if you took an episode of an american cartoon written by some 40 something year old man whose sole talent is in visual animation gags where the protagonist fights her best friend over some guy who showed up and the resolution involves them prioritizing their friendship over the guy and made it anime

I hope this series lasts a long time! The setup is so good it would really suck if it was the usual length publishers give her series.

I needed someone to fill the void that VAMPEERZ left when it ended.

A yuri vampire manga written by the legend who made futaribeya?

By all means, please do.

oh legendary for going no where? i can safely say there will be 0 romance and no much going anywhere if this is the author we are dealing with it

but hey, i actually wanna see how will the author make the yuri tag worthless

Lol you and half the commenters here should consider reading Yukiko's other works on this site. She's not shy about writing lesbians. They're nothing like Futaribeya (although Futaribeya is still one of the best yuri series out there. No accounting for poor taste I guess.) (But yeah, Yukiko's usual work is nothing like Futaribeya so I wouldn't draw weird conclusions from her fluffy feel good series. Draw them from the pube plucking oneshot or the sadistic, induced vomiting one)

This one is great coming off the heels of the release of the very fun and very gay toxic lesbian vampire book Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. If vampire yuri is your thing, i suggest anyone here check it out.

Since it came up a few times, it doesn't look like this one is from the vampire AU.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she took some inspiration from the book when she started the series and it had been her goal all along to end it with the book as an analogy for Kasumi and Sakurako’s relationship, making it clear what kind of relationship the two would have in the end, even if she might not be able to show that explicitly.

The series was a bit too open-ended for my tastes, but with the knowledge about the referenced book, I feel reassured about Kasumi and Sakurako’s future. <3

The one shot that follows up the series also lends itself to reassuring their future (like rainbow8 mentioned).

And this deep dive on the rabbits book was so great, seems to be very intentional intertextuality

Edit: I dunno why people are so pressed about this. You guys really expect their relationship to be just perfect with butterflies and lollipops and no conflicts? Sorry to tell you, but that's not how relationships work...

Any kind of conflict? "Forced drama". Fluff only series? "Nothing ever happens". Series ends when the main pair get together? "Axed". Series keeps going and does arcs on side characters, etc? "Drawn out padding".

It's the same shit every time. Whichever way you do it, it's wrong i guess.

Ehhhh, I think it's more like what LostGamble is getting at. The conflict doesn't feel believable or like what you'd have in a real relationship. I can see feeling betrayed that being saved from the orphanage had a hidden motivation behind it, but Elsa is the one who crowbarred her way back into Yvonne's life and heart, so the conclusions she's actually drawing feel very contrived. It's basically trust issues again. But I mean, contrived plot points are hardly a new feature of this story. It excels at fluff, the rest is take it or leave it

This might be the longest running yuri story from comic ExE! I hope this one sticks, it's a ton of fun

The tagging is a mistake I think. Yuri crush is specifically for side characters and the tag description even says:

When an entire story's narrative revolves around one-sided yuri love, use the yuri tag instead.

I'm going to recommend a change (back, I'm pretty sure this used to be tagged yuri).

If it's specifically for side characters then yeah. The bisexual tag should probably stay though.

Yeah, the tag is from a bygone age of yuri where it was more common and we got our yuri from subtext-if-you-stretch-it moe manga. The biggest example is Kaori from azumanga daioh, but it's usually for when the series isn't about romance and a side character is crushing on one of the mains.

Speaking of, I haven't read this yet but should it have the romance tag or is it mainly SoL?

Am I really the only one that thinks the writing in this series is kind of bad? It's just contrived plot devices one after the other; first, the administrator system that was used to progress the characters' relationship, only to now be explained away with this timeline convergence. And I don't even think it would be this bad if they didn't decide to introduce this utterly silly "restorative-capacity" meter (here's a reason not to watch Steins:gate, I guess).

I don't really care that much because I never took this series all that seriously. I just found it surprising that nobody here seems to be sharing my urge to eyeroll in this chapter.

If I wanted good storytelling, I wouldn't be reading a niche romance genre.

I really hope at some point Hina starts to catch feelings and just goes full "You can't catch me gay thoughts!" and tries to run all her feelings out lmao.

This is a classic Hina thing to do.

Herman Hesse is weirdly common in curriculums outside the US. I hear tell he's big with kpop too. Weird stuff. There's no way Tsuruda drives a BMW tho, right?
