Rly love this one. Also, first time I've seen the existence of homophobia addressed at all in a yuri manga.

Yuri Deadline opens with the high school MC running from home because of homophobia.

Green Tea Bitch: mother of one of the MCs is very homophobic.

Blue Star On That Day: nothing really explicit yet, but mentions of possible trouble, and side chars who'd probably say "gross" if they knew.

I Love The Villainess: Claire gets quickly called on a bit of homophobia; Rei's trans friend committed suicide due to transphobia.

Girl Friends: actually it's been too long so I'm not sure, but maybe?

A Face You Shouldn't Show: MC has been outed as WLW and it's destroying her career, and her partner is at risk too.

This whole business feels like a mangaka going, “JFC, online commenters keep hammering on about that boyfriend and “cheating”—might as well wrap up that part. Now I need to go back and remind myself about his character design.”

Just my speculation, of course.

I mean, the mangaka chose to have the boyfriend be a dangling thread in the first place, and it's not like he was never mentioned again after the first chapter. Ritsu's sister called her a cheater, she thought about having to tell him, as I said he was mentioned in chapter 7.1. I'd assume the author meant to tie it up eventually.

That's how it's going to start before this place gets overloaded with this.....

"start"

Dynasty Yaoi has a couple dozen one-shots and a few dozen series. (Mostly though not all with Crossdressing or Transgender.) It's always been here, you just didn't notice.

And there's a lot more Het. Though how many of those are Het works vs. containing some Het is another matter... oh wait, advanced search, so 80+ series with Het and not Yuri. vs 20 with Yaoi and not Yuri.

Smaller poly could still be an option.

I am so tired of this fucking guy. He keeps hoping she'd fall in love with him. I want him dead. I hate him.

He brought it up once, at least half-joking.

Huh. This one starts similarly to the old chapter 8, but then diverges a lot.

Some people here get so angry whenever you say anything slightly negative about a male character they start being misogynistic... and go back to the belief every woman is going to or can have a child, because of a fictional man.

wtf are you talking about with this "child" business?

A fictional man who did in fact force himself on a fictional woman, and all the poster did was point out something the text itself made clear was him forcing himself on her and her not enjoying it

He in fact did not force himself on her. But Yarai did. Readers just want to excuse it because she's a cute girl in a yuri work and Ritsu ended up liking it, so Yarai gets away with it.

if you call that assault then Yarai sure also did that.. multiple times. whats your point?

No kidding.

Shouya: slowly goes in for a kiss with his girlfriend. No explicit consent, but it's signalled and she's aware.

Yarai: goes in for a kiss with a girl she barely knows. Ritsu is totally surprised, and verbally outraged. Then Yarai goes in again for French this time, despite Ritsu's protests.

I guess everyone that bet he also had a secret GF owes some money huh lol.

Or the secret BF bets.

This just makes her look even more like a scumbag with her cheating snice now it was fully one sided cheating big oof to her.

OTOH none of this changes that she wasn't really into him and she's fallen hard for Yarai. Only thing she could have done better was let him know earlier.

If this kid doesn’t have a secret gf or something he’s just a poor victim of his cheating girlfriend and I dont think the author would wanna cast the main character in such a unfavorable light lol

Whoops.

I hope he's a victim because fuck him anyway

Seems mean to say about a chill guy.

It could be that, due to the oringial peer pressure to do the confession (chapter 1), he never really considered them to be going out anyway - it was all just for show.

He took it seriously enough to go for their first kiss, which Yarai interrupted.

They're joking about adopting a kid.

can you still do that whole when you call someone it plays a different ringtone instead of the basic one?

Oh huh, Ritsu called Yui and heard Yui's choice of tune, yeah I didn't know that was even a thing.

Eh, I'd say it's not much of a victim. They barely had a relationship to begin with, and she's been avoiding him ever since Yarai barged into her life. It's not like she's been making out with them in parallel... or like she's kissed him ever.

Like yeah technically she's been cheating on him, but high school? first relationship? that never went anywhere? It's not a very unfavorable light, IMO.

shojou ai would be relabeled now with either subtext or yuri crush.

Really? "shoujo ai" didn't include yuri that was definite but not sexually explicit?

Past post on range of explicit 'gay' ness in yuri: https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts/981876

Aya this chapter: "we need to talk about what's going on with you. But not right now, because we've both been up all night." Makes sense to me.

Mitsuki is butch coded. Aya is femme coded. But they're not "lesbians" in the "real world" sense. Which is why so many people see them not as a lesbian couple, but as a typical straight couple with a twist.

There are yuri manga that explicitly bring up homosexuality, other labels, and issues of homophobia, but they're the minority. More common than not to just slide past any friction there, other than "but we're girls!", as someone said.

The English fandom has largely been moving away from "shoujo ai", I think, since insofar as it is a term in Japan it means "pedophile", a lover of very young girls.

Sakura is too dumb to look for her backpack in the last place she was?

Maybe she shouldn't be allowed to roam around on her own.

That makes it even more of an age gap.

And if you're 18 then you're legally adult, even if you're still in high school. No legal rights are conditional on graduating high school.

they actually are in japan. you're not legally an adult if you're still a student. and this takes place in japan, therefore applies

[Citation needed]

I mean, it's not even mandatory to go to high school in the first place, compulsory education stops after junior high.

The more obvious complication is that Japan's age of full adulthood has been 20. But voting age was lowered to 18 in 2022, age of consent has been 16 or 18 depending on prefecture.

And for whether Age Gap applies, the sensibilities of the readers are most relevant.

So... was this axed?

No one here really knows. Authors and publishers do not make a habit of announcing that the publisher forcibly terminated a title.

I mean, the princess has the name of a famous witch-goddess who turned men into pigs.

Tossup as to whether the Chinese author chose names for meaning or just sound.

Hearing it was axed makes me sad

We don't know it was axed. But Usui Shio was doing two series recently, both of which ended abruptly relative to the stories they'd been developing.

The things that I don't quite understand is that she would expects Remu san to act exactly as what she wrote,

That's the "delusional" part.

There seemed to be an excess of characters. Was the art a "crossover" with Yuru Oyako?
