>series starts as a standard chinese setting josei with a male lead and the obligatory evil villainess antagonist>people love the villainess so much the author has to drop the male lead since everyone ships the heroine with the villainess anywayshas other series hardpivot into yuri like this before?
Has anyone actually read the web novel and knows if there's more than baiting? Because they all have male love interests and it's really hard to believe the /u/ teasing means more than standard gal pals
>>286109907Havent read the wn but I seriously doubt that it's really anything more than what it appears. Both of them are each other's very first friend and the one the right is from a clan that specifically love to dote on the ones they care about like crazy. It's in their bloodline
>>286109907>baitingback to >>/twitter/
>>286109907>Has anyone actually read the web novel and knows if there's more than baiting?I've read up until 10 and it's not really baiting per se, but it's clear there was editorial pressure to include a male love interest, like 90% of the story is the relationship between the heroine and the villainess
>>286109561mmmm I been wanting some chinese villainess to finish my sunday, I'll take it
>>286109907They are very good gal pals yeah, but both have love interests so.
>>286111275I kind of have a feeling that something will eventually happen to disqualify Keigetsu and she'll end up with the younger Kou brother, becoming Reirin's sister-in-law
>>286111157I can see it honestly, I don't even need the goggles for this.
>>286111157I've read the manga up to the latest chapter, do the LNs address Reirin's frailty? I get the feeling she's not really sick but cursed or something.
>>286111626Well, something certainly happened at the end of LN9 that could point to that being the reason
>>286109561>has other series hardpivot into yuri like this before?nah since the "villainess" is not actually villainous and also still straight
>>286112711Why are they like this?
>>286111464>You're my miracle comet>i also indirectly kill someone because they dared to do something against you my beloved keigetsuThis is all done by the "heroine" btw. Also totally a platonic relationship btw
>>286111626>I get the feeling she's not really sick but cursed or something.There really seems to be more to it, keigetsu has no problem while in her body and she's obviously more magically inclined
bump
>>286111626They've been teasing that Reirin's frailty is not due to her body since it disappears whenever Keigetsu takes over, but Reirin always gets distracted by something more important whenever she plans to discuss it with the more magically knowledgable Keigetsu
>>286111157Someone really wanted to make the Crown Prince a thing with how he did a complete 180 in personality entering the 2nd arc I think they've given up after he got pummelled in the popularity poll since all the promo art of the anime centers on Reirin and Keigetsu
wait a minute is this the one where the empress urges her maid to sleep with the emperor?
>>286111157>editorial pressureBut it's a self-published web novel
>>286111157>like 90% of the story is the relationship between the heroine and the villainessNo, 90% of the story is about how amazing, perfect and brilliant Kou Reirin is, and her casually fixing other people's crippling problems. Keigetsu and the other cast members exists only to be dumb buffoons and highlight with their endless incompetence what a wonderful goddess Kou Reirin is.
>>286109561Bakarina
>>286120987The heck happened in the later parts of Bakarina that they're now being tagged under yuri?
>>286121457no one likes Geodude
>>286109561No one likes heroine's male love interests because they all suck ass, the villainess has a male love interest too though and people actually like him, since the villainess is the most popular character by a huge margin they'll probably keep pandering to both sides.
>>286120796Only the first arc was a self-published web novelThe series was picked up by a publisher afterwards, and you can definitely see the push for more focus on male love interests when it became a LN, what with the bonus chapters that star the Crown Prince and Captain and the introduction of Reirin's brothers
>>286111352It really lean towards that yeah, BUT WHEN'S THE FUCKING ANIME GODDAMMIT
>>286119092What about the eagle man? He seems cool
>>286123475>WHEN'S THE FUCKING ANIME GODDAMMITthis but unironically
>omg the leads get along so well and yuri with each other and the male gets neglectedYeah you know where else that happened,Hibike its my fellow yurifags are fucking retarded
>>286120922Pretty much this, the girl is Chuck Norris and Jesus Christ rolled into a frail Chinese noble lady.I'm surprised Keigetsu even took 1st place in the popularity poll given how much Reirin is shilled in-story.
>>286124690I think that's the point. Keigetsu shines because of how perfect Reirin is.
>>286124690>I'm surprised Keigetsu even took 1st place in the popularity poll given how much Reirin is shilled in-story.Keigetsu has the same screentime + she's cute and a tsundere, the perfect combo
>>286123475>>286124415July 2026
>>286124690this anon >>286124838 got it right while Reirin is the jade beauty jesus, Keigetsu is a failure in everything, dance, singing, even being a villainess and yet she still tries she tries her hardest to make up for it, especially when she is overwhelmingly hated.You just can't help but want to root for her happiness (and for Reirin to fuck around with her body everytime they swap kek)
>>286126570>Keigetsu is a failure in everything, dance, singing, even being a villainess and yet she still tries she tries her hardest to make up for it, especially when she is overwhelmingly hated.yeah, she's the type of girl everyone roots for in a harem anime, a cute girlfailure
>>286126570>Keigetsu still utterly miserable even after her switcheroo with ReirinShe's such a cutepathetic thing, no wonder Reirin wants to protecc her so much.
was there any particular reason for the whole hand on Reirin's neck from the auntie or it was just that the kou family are bunch of yandere freaks deep down?
>>286127325I think she just doesn't want to have Reirin become the Empress since that would paint a massive target on the Kou clan's back for monopolizing the position for 2 generations now.>that the kou family are bunch of yandere freaks deep down?They are definitely that.
>>286127655>a massive target on the Kou clan's back for monopolizing the position for 2 generations now.>meanwhile the fujiwara irl held it for 13 generations, probably way moreThey lack the marriage grind mindset
>>286127062>She's such a cutepathetic thing, no wonder Reirin wants to protecc her so much.I like how as the story progressesreirin isn't above dirting her hands to protect keigetsu, it's nice contrast to all the other perfectly good heroines who never hurt others in these stories, granted those were evill people but still
>>286127655>>that the kou family are bunch of yandere freaks deep down?Every single one of them is one, if not they still haven't found the target of their affections
Reirin's brothers are really the best guys in the series. When big bro here finally ends up with the one he's shipped with the wedding nights gonna be real wild
>>286113422>totally a platonic relationship btwYeah.
>>286130009She isn't lying btw
>>286128518Do they actually want to fuck reirin?
>>286131509Can you blame them? Look how needy Reirin is of everyone
>>286131781Reirin is so cute indeed
>>286127325The Empress is shown doing/saying something suspicious in the epilogue of each major arc I suspect it has something to do with Reirin's mother and her death with Reirin's birth
>>286109561Is this just Yuri bait or it truly evolved to proper Yuri?
>>286127325>>286133707For example, there's this scene in the epilogue of the second arc
>>286109561>search up the anime cause I recall it's supposed to be this year>it's delayed
>>286134539>Is this just Yuri bait or it truly evolved to proper Yuri?it is in the same ballpark as hibiki
>>286134539Nah, the OP faggot tried posting the same thing in yuri threads but got btfo kek
>>286137840>Nah, the OP faggot tried posting the same thing in yuri threads but got btfo kekI'm not the same guy as the one in the yuri threads
Bunp
>>286126570>Keigetsu is a failure in everything, dance, singing, even being a villainess and yet she still tries she tries her hardest to make up for it, especially when she is overwhelmingly hated.>You just can't help but want to root for her happinessWhich makes it all the more sweeter whenever Keigetsu's efforts finally pay offAlthough her failures whenever she gets too cocky are also hilarious to read
>>286128093Usually she said it in passing, but I'm surprised she actually did say it outright.
>>286135821>>286133707It is a bit strange though, the empress had a very sweet scene so it makes me inclined to think it's a fake out somehow Then again I only read the manga so I'm probably way off the mark here.
>>286111157So again schizo headcanon
>>286141021
>>286141021>but I'm surprised she actually did say it outright.I was more surprised when she actually did what she warned about, I like when the heroine slowly gets corrupted
>>286126555Why did they delay it?
>>286146513Production was taking longer than expected
>>286110307Author calls it a bromance, except with 2 girlsAlso it's not fair to say that she just switched because the villainess was popular, she is important from the beginning and it's pretty obvious the main focus in on their relationship starting with the second arc.
>>286121457>>286121492Nta but can someone give an actual fucking explanation?
>>286143935The manga art carries the story hard. The anime designs look like ass in comparison
>>286143935so what are her "evil deeds" again?
Was trying to find the twitter extras the manga artist did for their last series (Saika no Kami wa Negawanai) where they genderbent the MC into a villainess and found out they've been working on another mythology series, Ochibure Zeus to Dourei no Ko. It's been around for several years but nobody's picked it up at all
>>286150645she's still inept plz understand.
End up reading snow white sow from the same author, it was fun, but I can see why it ended after 3 volumes there wasn't much to go or an interesting plot either beyond the whole "how many times will juju fail upwards trying to escape the harem" the maid was the cutest though
>>286150926Huh, I'd read it back when the chapters were coming out and never noticed it was by the same author. My thoughts on it are pretty much the same as yours
>>286109561Lol
>>286153513Why was she so mad
>>286109561I heard the manga got worse at some point? Like after the truth got revealed.
>>286156396>I heard the manga got worse at some pointKinda, it got a bit repetitive until the other haremettes were properly introduced
>>286150731>Saika no Kami wa NegawanaiSell this to me
>>286159745Egyptian mythology with Set as the MC. He gets accused of murdering Osiris and is executed only to wake up several years before it happens. Got axed after only 13 chapters, probably because he was a mega faggot for ignoring his cute sisterwife on their wedding night. At least Osiris and Isis got to baby making quickly
>>286158430>until the other haremettes were properly introducedI love Houshun after arc 2 and I love Seika after arc 3I'm so happy that the LN's next arc is focusing on Seika
>>286137145No way! The novel properly developed Shuuichi. Kyoani hated him so much, you'd had to have read the novel to understand the hair clip.
>>286160140is there at least actual incest?
>>286161168>I love Houshun after arc 2 and I love Seika after arc 3I kinda wish they had mindbroken that little hamster more
>>286161910Just between these two
Reirin being an autistic moron doesn't stop being funny
>>286162185It's a clan trait
>>286162185I love Keigetsu's expressions
