Mangadex link since the original link is dead.

...I wonder if the entirety of Even More Learning with Manga FGO could be uploaded here considering it's by TFO Scans...

^ Masamune Shirow drew a lot of pretty darn hardcore "artbooks" so I'm not sure if I can believe that.

Anyone have yuri where a love interest is a blue collar worker?

... doing research...

You best start at somebody asking for yuri with construction workers not long ago. Frostbite's protagonist works on an assembly line. Ditto Fumiko's special green. White Angels Have No Rest has a character initially working at a slaughterhouse/meat processing plant.

But I'm honestly not too familiar with the left-pondian "Blue collar" label. Apparently it applies to agriculture work too? A Song by the Loom for the Autumn Storm... though there should be plenty of gay gardeners out there.

This question may have been asked before, but since I couldn't find it, I have to trouble someone to help me answer it: How is the time zone determined on this website?

Go to https://dynasty-scans.com/user and scroll to the very bottom, you can set the timezone to display for you whilst logged in.

The default for not-logged in users is atm UTC-4, though I'm not sure if this indulges into the Daylight Saving Time mass-delusion or stays constant throughout the year. (Might be US Eastern Time, I recall the admins using that.)

Okay, if this was their first meeting, the "Sakura is a Yakuza princess" theory becomes unlikely. I don't think they'd let her run free like that without a bodyguard.

Also, Saaya casually asked somebody she must have assumed to be a child for her number "to know her better".

^ To indulge in sweet, sweet ultracrepidarianism:

Per Wikipedia, human capture rate is only 20 - 25%, whilst gills can reach up to 90% efficiency. So the volume is prolly the same. Of course the density disparity remains, though aquatic respiration has the benefit of ram ventilation (i.e. moving through the medium absolves you of having to pump it). That'd might also imply she has both types of gills.

Additionally, we can't know if Waggy-Saggy has the same oxygen requirements as land dwellers. Even mammals can hold their breath for multiple hours by dialling back their metabolism, and since she canonically overwinters beneath the frozen lake, she likely can do with less.

No, the important question is: does her lung function as swim bladder? They're homologous, after all. But that probably means she can't speak or give underwater kisses whilst diving. Sad, science ruined another fantasy.

^ The self-insert wishfulfillment industry is entirely based on the Forer effect being a viable business model.

I've also hypothesized for a long time that authors frequently can't write compelling romance MCs of a gender they're not attracted to. (Understandable, tbh.) That at least tracks with het romances usually having one lead with the personality of plain table water. (And yes, I'm going there: this means cishet males can write compelling yuri, just like how cishet women can write good yaoi.)

Anyway, back to Dispatch: all Credits with creative decision making power go to men (unless a "Lead Producer" is more than glorified middle-manglement). Yet I don't know enough about the company structure to tell how much of an effect this may have had.

The fighting is foreplay, highlight and aftercare. The sex is just incidential, because at the end of the day, isn't it just naked wrestling?

Given the circumstances, this is the best possible ending. Of course the absence of the axe would have been preferable, but within the confines of it's shadow, I don't see improvements to be made. Dropping the plot of Niji ended up, whilst personally massively dissatisfying, as the only means to get at least some resolution for our protagonist duo.

I'm not sure what is there to complain about Meguru's arc. Perhaps you specifically were born already in full horndog mode and only got worse with puberty, but she's by far the least strange or deviant main character. Yes, from the outside it might not seem much to give physical intimiacy another try, but that's because doing something in spite of yourself is always easier in retrospect.

But I also think that Azuki would have needed more character development. The "reward" of scoring her crush does not feel deserved considering she just spent years being weird about it without finding redemption. And most of the Azuki/Meguru romance was off-screen, so it's no suprise Azuki/Remu looked like the way to go.

Lil' Sis already waiting in the hallway to interrupt the intimate moment as is the duty of all relatives in romances. Good girl, even though they didn't even need you this time.

Honestly I am kind of disappointed how little HariBelle isn't just outright smut. Probably the first F!PC ship since Reverse: 1999 I truly like but it's always about lewding her arms...

Wooooooo, it's back. So glad the hiatus is over.

Also, I just realized ... "Mirai" can mean future. Is there any deeper sort of kanji-based pun, or is the girl from the future literally just called "future"?

^ If you mean how the sensation would map to the Tsukiyomi user's body: either the technology is advanced enough to give you "phantom limbs" to feel pleasure (or pain) in, or it'd probably go to the nearest analogue.

For ears, that'd be ears (duh), already an erogenous zone for some, but for a tail ... well, humans still have a coccyx (tailbone), and it's located very intimately.

No idea who this artist is (might be Lyy's alt account given it's constant replies with a similar art style), but:

^ Imho that's highly unlikely. Looks like most CPK himejins got into it precisely because it's yuri, making this a "preaching to the choir" kind of situation.

Touhou in contrast (or it's western quasi-equivalent Undertale) has a vast and sprawling fanbase covering every thinkable niche, which abets migration between sub-fandoms to and fro femslash. E.g. you could probably consume Touhou horror media centred on Koishi as a full time job without ever running out of it, but eventually you'll encounter Koishi x Flandre and bam, you just earned your yuri goggles.

CPK on the other hand has like 10 named characters, half of which get less lines than I am making you read right now, and the overall potential for non-romantic fanworks is low. Heck, look at KPop Demon Hunters (which catapulted polyyuri into the AO3 Top 15); it's very likely that movie got more artists into yuri than CPK.

Also, the Touhou thing is true at least for Nakatani Nio. Though I think there are also plenty of artists who started out with PreCure and other Mahou Shoujo.

I hope this isn't already going overboard. All of these are personal preference, but I put those which I consider must-reads of the yuri canon (or otherwise manga that stand out) in bold.

Authors

Anthologies

Series

The last three are still ongoing, but I'm sure in the far-off year of 2032 they'll make for good lecture when waiting in line for water rations inbetween drone raids and NBC storms.

One Shots

Touhou Doujins

Not all of these are yuri, but absolutely worth reading.

This is the one time where the "I see you're a man of culture as well" meme is actually appropiate.

^ I'm more concerned on the power output here. Assuming it's supposed to me 300 million kilowatt-hours (as opposed to 300 GW), this thing has double the power output of Little Boy, which probably explains the radiation warning sign. This takes "I want you to destroy me in bed" to a whole new level.

"Kiss the wrong lips"? Is the inuendo intentional? Because I really hope it is.

Wow is this the fabled happy end that comes after subtext or yuri crush? This is like finding a shiny pokemon. I wonder if we'll still have crazy shennaningans after this chapter though that's what makes this manga.

Yeah, and it only took us 361 chapters! 99% of himejin quit before the subtext crush turns out to be reciprocated, as they say.

^ You know your account creation date is visible in the overall image thread? ...At the other hand Galim explicitly pointing out their account age hours beforehand would make you being a sock puppet extra stupid, so in dubio pro reo, I guess?

To reiterate my past preemptive agreement with MrEngenious (whose behest to not continue this any further I am wantonly defying): Guilty Gear is a mess that deals with a plethora of issues as ankle-deep as you'd expect from an arcade fighting game. (Let's see: Aba's abuse is played for laughs, Dizzy's age, the entire Sol/Jack-O situation was icky iirc, and much, much more.)

Just because Bridget could have been handled better does not mean it was made with malicious intent (methinks much to the contrary). It's "bad representation" in quality, not faith.

At the same time the apparent paranoia over transphobia here flabbergasts me when "insistently casting somebody into the wrong gender based on arbitrary superficial factors is messed up" should be something GNC and transgender populations (who aren't disjunct, btw) can agree on. We're in the same goat, and I promise you don't have to search long to find actual transphobia on the net.

Always immediately assuming the worst intentions as I did mere paragraphs ago gets you nowhere except backwards fast as people are afraid to attempt queer representation in the first place, ask genuine questions or bring forth criticism.
