I get used to it as someone who enjoys SJ series a lot. You recognize unpopular pacing and how something is likely immediately to get axed unless it has a good hook to keep viewers invested. This is too slow to get going anywhere, too many early cliffhangers. One that turns into a series people skip.
Sadly makes sense it was axed. Way too slow, not interesting enough. I liked it for what it is but the pacing is pretty abysmal and if viewers aren't up to that pace it ain't gonna last.
This appears to be the authors Twitter just in case anyone is curious. I can't speak for the auto translation but they appear to refer to the story as "looking like a Yuri story but isn't" and "Yuri style but not quite Yuri romantic comedy" here:
The author does appear to have done another Yuri one shot and posts mostly about Yuri. So as far as I personally feel I'm likely to treat this is a transfem Yuri myself depending on where it goes.
I don't think there's that many poly endings out there, but maybe I missed some lol
I just meant with this premise. There's another series where the protagonist "sees love" and it ended in poly and it was very unsatisfying imo. I can appreciate poly when done well but when it stems from a love triangle like this it often feels stilted and unnatural, they try to say haha look their love triangle turned into loving each other but it just feels like a cheap out without substance or nuance poly deserves.
I hope this isn't another poly one, this idea is so interesting and it feels like it always ends in poly as the most surface level appeasement. We'll see, I'd much rather the protag not end up with anyone or someone else.
This might end up in poly based on the author but I kinda hope it doesn't so we don't just have a repeat and we actually get to see an interesting dynamic between the characters fighting for her affection, maybe finding other girls for themselves or among themselves.
I'm confused.... Is her father permanently stuck as a woman? Or are her parents just making out all the time so it's always the case? Because they said there's no precedent for someone becoming stuck but the story seems to imply her father is unable to become a man again.
If they did get stuck as a woman, there's no reason not stay as one if you don't want to. Trans men exist in Japan, after all.
Trans people don't exist in gender bender stories lol
I genuinely wonder if these writers ever consider like, the fact that trans people exist. They at least acknowledged that gay people exist here cause they went "if a woman kisses someone of the opposite sex", so I guess gay women in her family don't gotta put up with any bullshit. But I've never seen them really acknowledge trans people existing in any real way, even though a LOT of gender bender media feels like wish fulfillment by trans people who are very deep in the closet.
No, no. The clear thing we're all missing is that if you're a trans man the curse doesn't discriminate and changes you again. Truly the most gender affirming curse.
Does anyone know if this actually ends in GL or nah lol. Cause if I have to be dragged through with this dude creep for a het ending I'll gladly drop it here and now. Right now it feels like I'm witnessing gay therapy in real time and I want off this ride.
Ohh let's not root for that kind of nonsense. Much better if they get their feelings together and aim for a healthy relationship. Proper break-up, cheating is out of fashion.
Can't say I'm too wildly interested in this one so far. Both female leads feel like they're gonna end up kinda shitty people to me, or they're going to try and "justify" it by making their boyfriends shitty despite their initially pleasant demeanors. I'll keep an eye on it but I don't want this to turn into a guy hate fest just for "the yuri".
well i'm glad it wasn't a poly ending but it was also so rushed and about halfway through just kind of a boring series in general. interested in what else the author does in the future, though.
