Sensei and eiko are sailing and no one added the Yuri tag yet?
I suggested Yuri crush
back in April and it's still "pending". :/
I second the motion.
It's weird how under used the yuri crush
tag is when in a lot of these types of stories that get a subtext
label it would actually be a lot more appropriate.
Often the crush tag gets skipped over completely such as with "Room for Two" which explicitly has one of the MCs crushing on her roommate from the very start in chapter 1. That manga doesn't really have subtext at all, but rather one very thirsty lesbian wanting to get together with her incredibly chill and laid back roommate, yet it had nothing but a subtext
tag for ages.
This was despite the one girl constantly making comments about how beautiful her roommate is, exclaiming they should get married, sleeping together, drunkenly mauling and kissing her etc. and then when the tag finally did get changed it went strait to the yuri
tag even though the relationship could still debatably be considered one sided as far as romance goes. So why was it never at any point given the yuri crush
tag which to this day still makes for a better descriptor of the what the story is about?
I think the subtext tag
is misused a lot, and the example I provided is just one of countless similar cases. People would do well to look up and remind themselves what subtext really means. Seeing one or more female characters unambiguously show romantic attraction to another female isn't subtext. Subtext is never outright stated or it ceases to be subtext and is simply text.
Yuri crush
is a perfect tag for any series that has one or more females that are explicitly shown to be attracted to other females, but in which an actual relationship has not blossomed which honestly is a description that fits at least half of the series on here that get stamped with subtext
instead.
