^^I mean if you want my reasoning, there's a few: some voice lines from Arle post-Archon Quest, the aesthetics of red and black mixed with the heavy blue and white creating probably the most easthetically pleasing couple ever, the fact that the characters feel almost tailor made to be foils of one another from personality to playstyle to elements to even height, them being heavily involved in each others stories, me not really having any other ships I like regarding Furina, etc, but ultimately, I think what sells it for me is that they both have this level of theatrics and dramatics nobody else can match. Any serious fanfic between the two plays like an epic drama, because at the end of the day, there's a lot of problems that come with them being together, and seeing how those are over come give some of the best story telling Genshin fan authors have ever done,

Oh God, they were roommates!

^I mean Nina is a doll in the OP at that one scene.

^The air conditioner. Nina assured her it could run at full power now... It couldnt.

^This is fashionable. I dont know what its called, but a split down the middle two pattern button up is a relatively popular type of summer outfit that both guys and girls wear primarily in Japan and some SE Asian countries. I have a few myself, and you pretty much always wear it in summer as you see above, with a white t shirt and jeans with light accesories. It generally is fashioable and looks good, but is hit or miss based on pattern and what you pair with it. Its a very less is more kinda outfit. The button up stands out a lot, so you go very light on everything else to balance it.

Had to look for the yandere tag when I saw Nina on this page: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/were_shin_kawasakis_3_woman_couple_kiss#7

I liked how her negative aura was physically manifested as porcupine-like quills that pricks those nearby.

Both works for this pairing(?) throuple(?) have porcupine quills. I've never watched the original, but I'm guessing it's canon?

A few things:

1. You're saying you've never seen the anime? You absolutely must watch it! It's amazing!

2. The "prickles" are visual symbolism used to show when Nina feels like she's being consumed by negative thoughts and emotions. In the anime, they don't physically manifest and are not able to be seen by others (or Nina for that matter).

3. The other doujin for the throuple is cute. Thanks for mentioning it.

You think I have time to watch anime? Preposterous! I'm much too busy spending all my time reading yuri manga; no time for anime.

Thank you for the recommendation though, and thanks for the explanation XD

Genuinely, if I had to go back in time and choose between watching GBC once and reading yuri manga for a year, GBC clear. Its incredible, worth over a hundred manga for me.

If GBC used Bocchi the Rock logic.

Every once in a while, there comes a doujin that goes beyond what I define in my head as a doujin. This is one of those rare cases. This story is nothing short of a masterpiece. Story telling, writing, art, visuals, structure, story telling, it tells a story that is as pain fully relatable as it is beautifuly inspiring, and I cannot put into words just how good of a story this is.

Ive never heard if this author before, but you can bet I will be following them for a long time to come.

Arleccino can probably cook (even if her signature dish is relatively unseasoned steak tartar on toast), whereas if Raiden cooked, there wouldnt be much of a kitchen left.

A lot actually. Some of it absolutely fantastic like Zephyrs or Albaz or Wolrd Legacy. Even weird minor cards like Skull Servant are connected to staples.

This ygo any good? Looks quite unique the premise.

Also, YGO lore has the tendency to corrupt, maim or kill love interests, sometimes even multiple times.

Nah not really. For things like Zephyrs and World Legacy sure, but Skull Servant lore is pretty wholesome, Skystrike lore is as cool as it is gay, and love is like the one thing that saves everyone in Albaz lore.

It's pretty fun, but super hard to get into. Start with either the anime or GOAT format and learn from there.

We need a new tag. I propose "Useless Lesbians", it's like "Idiot Couple", but they aren't a couple yet.

Yeah, I'm sorry to tell you but um... Aya doesn't have wings. Neither does Hatate. They both canonically don't have wings, and you can see this in their character portraits.

Just got a pound of Darjeeling, thank you Maitake2 for the great advice!

I'm surprised I don't see more art of these two. Sure, the series isn't exactly yuri, but these two have been rivals and very viable shipping candidates for a long time, and Act Age is just great.

^I posted literally two minutes ago, and realized right as I posted, how the heck did you comment so fast?

^^To clear up some information, here's how it is. Spoilers BTW for Volume 4 of the LN.

In the novel, all the characters are confirmed into her, all the girls are lesbians. As of now, she has been kissed (as in they kissed her btw, as she expresses no interest in guys) by two people, the Third Prince and her adopted brother. This follows the simple idea that she is getting to learn they love her based on the order in which they met her. Now, V5 is out, and I haven't read it yet, so I might be very wrong proven very soon, but my guess is that if we follow order based on meeting, Mary will be next. Plus, the last few pages of V4 implied that she was gonna get her own arc next.

Realistically, it will end one of two ways. Harem ending, or an incomplete ending where she doesn't get together with anybody. As of now, the latter is more likely, but harem is what I expect. That said, Maria does have hope. She's the only character in the series that Katrina, as far as I know, that she really shows interest in. She does show interest in Nicol somewhat, but not quite to the extent. And the villainess getting together with the protagonist is the most interesting outcome, so I have my prayers.

V5 EDIT: Reading the table of contents, it seems to be a filler volume -_-

She is absolutely thinking about what AkinomaHNU said she is. Either that or food.

Here's what y'all need to know from me, a LN reader.

Katrina as far as we know doesn't really seem gay or straight. She hasn't really shown interest in anyone, except maybe Maria, who she said has made her heart skip a beat and that she would marry if she were a guy.

The girls around her aren't straight at all. None of them have any form of interest in the opposite sex and all the girls are canonically in love with Katrina.

She has kissed two guys, but she kissed them in order of meeting, so if we assume this pattern continues, she'll next be kissed and confessed to by Mary, then another guy Alan, then a girl, Sophie, then Nicol, then Maria, and so on. The series is going through a huge change rn. Before, it was all about building the harem, while now, the game has begun and we're gonna get confession after confession. And I wouldn't be surprised if the new evil girl joins the harem too. Actually, I wouldn't call the series repetitive at all. All the characters have different back stories and character moments that really drive home their personalities. All have a specific reason to love Katrina and it's really touching sometimes. It would be kinda unfair for really any of them to lose. Sure, same general idea, they fall in love with Katrina and she doesn't realize, but that's being pretty broad, there's a lot of interest in how they meet and why they fall in love.

Most likely, it's gonna be a bi harem ending. The series heavily hints at a harem ending multiple times and it makes the most sense with both the direction of the story and the concept. As of now, she is romantically attracted to everyone equally (which is to say not at all) and relies on all of them equally. Guys and girls are treated pretty equally as rivals with no one gender being more obvious, Katrina relies on all of them to an extent, and it makes the most sense given the context of an Otome harem game.

Maria is best girl.

When she said her father died, I instantly scrolled up to check if the incest tag was there, was relieved it wasn't, then cursed myself when the wrist came.

I know it's the same Scanlator and all but I feel like we're getting a lot of useless lesbians tonight.

So, I gotta ask. Why does Juuna have her feet drawn in both panels but Nana doesn't in either of them?
