Actually let me take some of that back. On the surface it's sweet but Nanase continues to make questionable decisions, like running off with Yuki and leaving Yuni alone with strangers and not even introducing her to her mom. This chapter also really emphasizes how much Nanase's life revolves around the club when she's never brought over any friends outside of the club. Small thing like this continue to add up and show that Nanase still isn't taking the relationship as seriously as she should, and Yuni is actually being kind of a pushover to Nanase strangely enough.

I already mentioned Yuki, but yea. She's purposefully trying to get between them now, which is something I expected.

That was actually a really sweet chapter? Yuni enjoying her time with Nanase, meeting her mom. Like this chapter almost tricked me into thinking this relationship could be saved. But then there's Yuki who's now purposefully getting in the way between them, and visibly seething in the background now.

Fuuko's ex is like a time bomb ready to go off any minute, so I'm still prepared for shit to get worse eventually.

It's amazing how boring this manga has gotten. The first chapters that focused on actual yuri were really emotional and fun to read, but now I'm considering dropping this. Hopefully it will get more interesting and we get so see more....yuri.

I agree. I think it's about time the yuri tag got removed.

Why? The first volume is entirely yuri, as is at least one character’s backstory. Just because volume 2 focuses on a het couple doesn’t mean the tag isn’t still applicable.

"The first volume" is the issue. With how volume 2 has been going, it feels like a general romance manga that just happened to have a yuri pairing in its first volume. If it keeps going that way, the yuri tag should be removed from the work and added to applicable chapters instead.

That being said, I'm giving the story the benefit of doubt for how volume 2 ends. There's still a chance it will redirect towards yuri. If it does, if both volumes are yuri with a bit of het in-between, then having the work marked as yuri with specific het chapters is right.

Tags aside... I didn't get into this manga to read a straight story, and I also find myself losing interest with how volume 2 has been going - and that's indeed because there hasn't been yuri in them.

It's officially a yuri everywhere--sold and marketed as yuri. There's no reason to tag it differently.

I mean... good ? Hopefully that means volume 2 end up with a yuri pairing and the het couple was just bait.

Which means assuming the tagging everywhere is based on word of the author and not the (correct) observation about volume 1. It's a reasonable assumption, but unless someone has seen confirmation that future chapters are yuri, it remains assumption, not observation.

But then, you know what ? If it's yuri and the foreshadowing is correct and so on ? Then it remains that, for a yuri romance story, volume 2 has been seriously lackluster... lacking in yuri romance.

What a stupid fucking comment. Sorry but I'm not gonna mence my words. Just because a het couple exists in a story doesn't mean it isn't Yuri. It was obvious from the beginning that we would get some couples that aren't F/F because they're fucking cupids. They don't exclusively match up lesbians. But the story doesn't revolve around the couples; it revolves around the cupids.

Honestly it would be cool if we get a gay male couple down the road, as it being just straight and lesbian couple would be unrealistic. But the story obviously is more biased towards lesbian couples, which is fine, since it's a Yuri. The story is still in the beginning stages, and we only recently got introduced to Ena again. If you can't handle the story not immediately having the cupids kissing then go ahead and drop the story. I rather not see you constantly complain when a new chapter comes out.

Rent-A-Girlfriend but lesbians is basically saying to me "that weird and terrible cuck series but lesbians", and while some would definitely enjoy that (more power to em) it still wouldn't be my thing no matter how that cake is sliced lol

This. When I think Rent a Girlfriend but yuri I just think of My Girlfriend is not here today lol.

But as already mentioned the biggest reason this is an improvement already is just by simply dropping Kazuya from the series.

I'm sorry but comparing My Girlfriend's Not Here Today to Rent a Girlfriend is just offensive. Idc how trashy you think the story is, there's nothing in that manga that's even close to being as bad as Rent a Girlfriend.

I'm team Fuuko so if this ends up being a wake up call to Yuni and she goes through an arc of finally realizing she loves Fuuko and not her current GF, I'd be satisfied. The most obvious path this could go down is this new girl serving as an obstacle that makes her realize this, along with more Fuuko backstory.

Same, I want Fuuko and Yuni to fix each other and become a healthy couple.

But forget all of that, what the hell did they mean with that Crown of Thorns imagery? I'm a sucker for religious symbolism and this could mean a dozen different things, especially because it's being PUT on her. I know this will sound goofy but...is Fuuko meant to represent Jesus in this story? No I'm being completely serious.

I doubt the average Japanese author has in-depth knowledge of Christian imagery, and if they did it's weird that they would start using them only halfway through the story. I think they did it "because it looks cool".

Maybe not the average Japanese person, but there's plenty of Japanese authors I've read that do have in depth knowledge of Christianity, so it isn't out of the question. Plus, you can have surface level knowledge of it and still use it as symbolism in your story. Fuuko might not literally be an allegory for Jesus (although I find that parallel hilarious, so I'm going to stick with it), but it's obviously communicating suffering and sacrifice.
