this is what t4t wlw dating is like

Was literally just at a Stars (and Metric) concert. Nice.

i made the same mistake at first, but stars is the song, hum is the band

I'm not sure what's up with that zebra, but I'd buy him a beer and a couple of shots. Hell for that effort, I'd just get him hammered. Gotta give appreciation to the Wing-men/women of the world, otherwise a lot of us wouldn't be here.

the album cover features a zebra

i might just be still scarred from "throw away the suit..." but this somehow fills me with dread

promising, it's nice to see a manhua that's a bit more grounded, i often find them a bit...premise-heavy?

super cute

this is like some reefer madness level shit

I wonder if it's going to end up with something like Kyouko falling in love with Yuuri, because he's a boy in a girl's body. It's a perfect solution for a hetosexual girl with a severe case of androphobia.
I think that might piss a lot of people off, but not me. I'm actually intrigued by the idea. I would like to see more manga play around with biological sex and gender identity. Characters like Yamato from One Piece fascinate me.

Are you really sure about that?

Alright then, let's make a bet. If it turns out to be yuri, I win. If it turns out to be heterosexual, you win.

It'll be interesting to see which one of us ends up being right, hehe.

I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying. It's simple Kyouko falls in love with yuuri, because he is a guy in a non-guy package. Yuuri remains in a girl's body, to not frighten Kyouko. Yuuri and Kyouko will live happy ever after. It is totally a yuri ending. Well from a certain point of veiw.

Nah, there are a lot of things you're wrong about, but I'm not going to argue with you over them. I could easily prove my point, but it's more fun to turn it into a bet instead, hehe.

Okay how wrong can I be? I can only see three likely endings

1. Yuuri uses his girl form to cure Kyouko of her androphobia then turns back into a boy. Kyouko falls in love with him. Hetero happy ending.

2. Yuuri starts to identify as a girl. Kyouko falls in love with her. A happy yuri ending.

3. Yuuri stays a girl but never stops identifying as a boy. Kyouko falls in love with them. Happy yuri ending, from a certain point of view.

Now I know there can be tons of other endings. Like Yuuri starts identifying as a girl. Becomes best gal pals with Kyouko, and then falls in love when she discovers boys. But it's almost certainly one of the three. You want to bet them my money is spread evenly between possibility 2 and 3, based on the things I read in the comments.

As much as I and I assume many other readers would love to see it, a scene where Yuuri just turns to the camera and says "I am transgender and want to be a girl." is never going to happen in a somewhat light-hearted manga like this, but the same goes for option 3. Much like with many of the other gender bender manga out there, the mc's gender is probably just going to be left vague and up to the reader's interpretation. Automatically flocking to the interpretation that it's "het in a non-het package" because of it is insulting to the original work and other interpretations. This might just be my opinion as a trans woman, but no living cis guy would ever choose to remain in a wrong-gendered body just for a crush. If Yuuri does ultimately choose to stay as a girl, a queer reading is unavoidable.

I agree that Yuuri's gender identity will probably be left vague. I kind of placed that possibility under ending number 2, because that's how I would interprate it.
Although Yuuri is bringing his gender identity to the forefront by having guilt over lying to Kyouko about being a girl, even though he is in a girl's body. It shows he still idinifies as a boy.I kind of want Kyouko to start to push Yuuri into identifying as a girl so she can remain friends with him
I think your wrong about no cis man would give up identifying as a man, for a woman. I'm a cis man, but I have no loyalty to my gender. The way I feel is I'm a man only because I was born male, if I magically woke up in a female body tomorrow I would just try to learn to be a woman. I'm sure it would suck for a while but I think I would eventually get use to it And if a woman I loved was rooting for me to be a woman. I think it might end up being an incentive to push me along.

the most cis-brained post ever

apart from anything else yuri is literally in the title

ok but if it had gone "there's only one girl in this class...and it's me" i would have been so in

drama? in MY drama manga?

Can someone summarize all the plot threads going on in this chapter? It was too impressionist for my fried brain to follow. D:

shu waits for aya and narita outside the bar, being grumpy. they go in, narita gets drinks, aya gives one to shu assuring her she will be fine once the gig starts. despite finding it loud, shu enjoys the show and finds she doesn't feel her injured knee as bad. she shares a moment with aya, thinking a world like this might be what she has always wanted to be connected to

at the same time, rinko ends up making extra drinks, so she takes one to mitsuki, who is looking at a guitar. mitsuki admits it scares her, and rinko tells mitsuki how cool and invincible she seems to her, and expresses her own worries about connecting with others. mitsuki shows her a picture of how she used to be at school. they also share a moment, rinko thinking a person like this might be what she has always wanted to be connected to

cut to them sitting across from each other on the same train home, presumably thinking gay thoughts

So Ni Shang has financial management skills AND a 15-year target date gf management skills?

(I think her hand might be on backwards in the title art. Thumb should be on the other side, no?)

huh, you're right!

you will never make me stop hating ruruka

ok i was expecting a dog girl but this is way better

Good. I hope we never see him again for real.

Now kiss your wolf girlfriend.

100%

damn, so in that final page is that like, they encountered each other in the past in a way where the shoe was on the other womans foot at the time?

Pretty sure she's just meeting her after her shift to thank her.

her clothes are different, and the breath indicates cold, that combined with the "someday" leading into it makes me think it's somewhat later, and the wistful look on the shop worker makes me think perhaps the protagonist found her at a bad time and extends a hand in return. obviously it's ambiguous so this is all speculation but that was how i interpreted it

i mean correct me if i'm wrong, but does nina even know how she feels about mao? from what we've seen her overt motivation is she's trying to show what someone treating mao right would look like so she values herself more. and while obviously on some level i think she would like for mao to fall for her, i'm not sure if she herself is aware of that yet in the text

sort of leaves open the possibility of there being no humans left at all, which is an interesting thought. just androids playing human to each other

i hate to tell you tsukino but straight girls don't agree to go out with their friends just because they're "insistent"

you gotta respect the hustle tho that was some quick work

Feels a lot like throw away the suits together, hope these 2 get a happier ending.

my first thought too, that one was just depressing af

be me
read toxic yuri manga
manga centers a toxic lesbian
Wtf?? How dare she. She should be Punished

i've liked ohsawa yayoi's works before but this left me cold. i don't really get much of a sense of interiority from hikaru, and none at all from hana. their motivations seem inscrutable. it ends up being more harutaka's story, and while i liked him well enough it didn't amount to that much

i even noticed the heart earrings and thought "oh that's neat" but still totally failed to see that twist coming
