YYK

Cocona is flustered by the Ikemen Yayaka

Translator note: Ikemen is Japanese slang for "good-looking man".

Cocona's reaction is a reference to episode 7, where one of the male Papika forms gets wet and wipes himself (or something, I don't exactly remember), and Cocona blushes and makes a comment about ikemen. Yayaka reveals her bra lifting her shirt here, dispelling the ikemen aura slightly. I considered leaving Ikemen untranslated, but backed off, not wanting to call Yayaka a dude. All those male Papika forms left a bad taste for me, yuri-wise.

Actually according to the director they were females, just tomboys.

^ You also said before that the Director intended this series to be Yuri. Seriously dude, Where are you getting this info about the Director from?

@SF You can find alot of info about the Director's intentions to incorporate yuri into the show based on his interview. (You can just google Oshiyama Kiyotaka's infamous interview).

From what I read of the interviews, he said he had to compromise with the animator, Kojima, so he drew them as boys with girly features. I didn't read anything about them actually being girls.

Here's the interview if you want to read the whole thing.

What I'm specifically referring to is this part: "That episode features various personalities of Papika, and some of them are rather boyish. Thinking about the yuri perspective, I figured it wouldn’t be good to pair Cocona with a boy her age, so originally I had Papito and Papiya with female bodies too... but Takashi Kojima wanted to make them boys (laughs), so they ended up more male in places. My initial sketches of Papiwo, too, included a sarashi wrapped around her chest as a “definitely still a girl” signal."

They are left ambiguous but they are intended to be tomboyish girls.
