Sheeesh... it touko yuu this long of a time for yuu to notice it?

Anyone knows what Nakatani-sensei has been up to lately? I know she said she was "done" with yuri, but I have no idea if she has already announced any new stories or series.

Wait she said she was done with yuri? That stinks. What about that little oneshot she did, Double Bed.

If I remember right, she said that with YagaKimi she had achieved what she wanted to with yuri romance, and that she'll probably not go back to the genre. It's not like none of her future stories will have any gay stuff in them, especially since she has done a number of very gay one-shots for Eclair since YagaKimi started. But I think she meant she's looking for a new direction for her future stories.

Actually, I've read that in this very thread, ages ago. It was in an interview with Nio, I think. I'll try to find the specific piece where she says that, and I'll post it here if I do.

Found it.

– Will you also draw a yuri manga for your next work?

Nakatani: I feel like I should say this early on, although actually I think I’ve said this before. I want to write, not yuri, but a different genre for my next work. I already wrote the manga I would want to write for the yuri genre, Bloom Into You, after all. If I don’t build up a lot inside me, or go through more changes, I don’t think I’d be able to write another yuri series. And if I did, it’d be pretty far in the future. Well, that’s what I’m thinking as I stand at the foot of this next flight of stairs, anyway. Even if I write for a different genre, I think there’s a possibility that it will still have a girl-girl couple in it, haha.

You are aware that by "being done with yuri" she (Nakatani) meant "being done with stories which have the yuri as the main focus", right?

That's why I put "done" between quotes, and also why I wrote later that "It's not like none of her future stories will have any gay stuff in them, [...] But I think she meant she's looking for a new direction for her future stories."

Okay, well that's a different matter. Being done with writing in the genre of yuri (after you wrote what many consider one of (if not, imo, the most) genre-defining piece), makes a lot of sense, I thought that meant she was done writing anything f/f. Well I'd love to read a different genre of work that still includes f/f romance from her, that sounds great.

Which brings us back to my question: are there any news about her future projects?

Edit: by the way, thanks for pointing out "Double Bed", because I had totally missed that one.

Yeah Cecile, I don't wanna sound rude, but you need to learn to interpret things better:

"I want to write, not yuri, but a different genre for my next work" = HER NEXT WORK will be a different genre.

"I already wrote the manga I would want to write for the yuri genre, Bloom Into You, after all. If I don’t build up a lot inside me, or go through more changes, I don’t think I’d be able to write another yuri series" = This new work is something I need to try before returning to yuri, in order to write a better and greater story than I did with BIY.

"Even if I write for a different genre, I think there’s a possibility that it will still have a girl-girl couple in it, haha." = obviously, because is her cup of tea.

All in all, she's basically saying I need to try this new thing for personal growth as an artist, otherwise I might wind up on a stalemate and never get better (I'm looking at you Saburouta) but she warns, as she loves yuri so much, even though in a different direction, it might wind up with yuri anyway. Totally different that your initial statement "I'M DONE WITH YURI".

Oh, for heaven's sake, it was just a comment. Someone read that differently than what I intended, so I clarified later on. Let's move on.

Given nobody mentioned it, I take it there are no news from Nakatani, right? Okay, thanks and goodnight.

I'm the one who misread it, I really don't blame you. You had a half-remembered comment from her that you were expressing onwards, and you went on to correct my misunderstanding quite nicely and find sources for it. I thought you did well.

But hey, being wrong on the internet in any way is a great sin, or something, I guess.

I'm pretty sure there's a second Yagakimi anthology planned actually? Or is that already out?

I just realized the first chapter was released in 2015... 2015?? What has happened to my perception of time?? It's just non-existent apparently

Old age. :/

I'm not sure what you define as old age, but I have the same problem with my perception of time in terms of YagaKimi, and I'm 18.
So... I seriously doubt old age is the problem here.

You're just precocious is all. Literally ahead of your time. :U

Wow it was really released that long ago? I started reading halfway through the series, so it's been two plus years. Holy shit.

Well whichever you prefer, I think nobody with a hint of sanity left could deny that this scene was beyond amazing.

Minako Kotobuki can make me feel things with just a whisper that people acting their heart out can't in an entire speech.

I have ascended after hearing this glorious voice. (☉｡☉)!

OMG reading this made so happy.
Yuu, touko and saeki were on my list of characters I wanted to be F'n happy and the series delivered it without mercy.
I'm truly happy for reading the first chapter here back when I started college.
This series feels so rewarding OMG.
Now excuse me while I spend my money buying 8 volumes in one go lol.

People compartmentalize experiences, and we carry multiple identities inside of us all the time. You can try to tell yourself you're an adult, but in reality the earlier incarnations of you are still around and affect you and your perceptions.

For example, if you have a popular TV show you follow, when you watch it you will feel like the kid you were when you first started watching it. Also, you will have a different view on a series if you watch it in a one go vs one episode per week. Emotional dependency and nostalgia over it are going to be too strong and you definitely won't be even remotely objective. This is why you'll feel like a kid every time you fire up that show and stop worrying about acting like an adult.

Reality is that only way to really experience a story like it was meant to be experienced is to only read or watch it once it is ready in one go. If you don't, your perception of it will get messed up. After all, if you stretch an experience that is just 1-5 days long to 5-10 years... Of course it will feel entirely different.

I'm pissed at the French translation of volume 4, which botched an absolutely crucial scene at the end of chapter 22 (the "how can you say you hate something I lo−YOU JERK"). Instead we just have "Don't say you hate yourself." with the bubble inexplicably hiding part of the text box. I almost want to sent them an email to complain. è___é
