^ Yeah, Turn A Gundam was supposed to have a female protagonist but the studio blocked it, so instead they just made him crossdress for a large part of the series lol.

They have blocked female protagonists in the franchise, but, despite rumours, there's not really any evidence of it for ∀ in particular. Apparently early concept art makes Rolan look more masculine, not less

Episode 2! OP and ED both push MioSule and the episode itself is in no small part about Miorine realizing that she does like Suletta after all. Meanwhile the references to The Tempest have somehow become more blatant than the Utena ones

I lost the link but apparently the gumpla model sold out already (to be fair, it was a photo of a single shop) so yeah just in case there was any doubt.

Just watched episode 2. They’re totally going to have the “I’ll never fall in love” guy fall in love with Sulleta.

Loving the series so far, getting plenty of angst (probably more so because I want it to stay Yuri), drama, the combat looks great, and the story is well thought out so far.

There's been a fair amount of speculation that he'll end up falling in love with Aerial, as the web novel reveals that she's sentient, and his exact words were that he'll never fall in love with a person

...On the subject of Elan, it looks like he's going to be the newtype love interest for the series, and they have a terrible survival rate

Huh, didn’t realize there was a webnovel. Odd, but okay.

Seems it just turned into a bisexual harem.
They all want the Tanuki.

Ep 3. Suletta is moving forward and getting two(or more). And the reverse harem begins. Hope Mio is still end game but these types will usually be vague at the end or just plain het haha

THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare is what G-WITCH is partially based on.
THE TEMPEST was fanfiction of the Italian superhero Prospero.

Well, calling it a web novel may be a bit too much. Bonus story seems a more accurate term.

Sooo…not sure why those girls were so intent on Suletta’s intentions with tsun boy when she’s literally the bridegroom to the wealthiest heiress in the universe, like, every single point they made about him applies to Mio as well. Weird interaction there, for a society where same sex couples are supposedly commonplace (from Mio’s perspective anyways).

Guel is actually popular among his fellow students, so they care more about him

If we're being charitable, I'd say it's because he actually proposed. And they seem to have taken it to mean there was some prior relationship between the two of them (Chuchu commenting on a lovers' quarrel, and the other girls asking how long they've been involved). Which is a reasonable assumption, at least in comparison to "marriage proposal out of literally nowhere". Also, it's probably common knowledge that Mio-Mio wants nothing to do with the engagement and is trying to break it off.

All of that being said, I understand where you're coming from. Feels like they dropped in the gay engagement as pure bait and have pretty much just left it by the wayside. On one hand it is cool to recognise that same-sex marriage is valid, but on the other hand it was just a plot device and there's not even a modicum of subtext between Suletta and Mio-Mio so far, which is pretty disappointing. I guess it's cool to talk about gay girls getting married but not cool to show it. (I do hope I'm completely wrong, of course. I would love to be proven wrong more than anything!)
