Advertising in Akihibara with a non-MC pair.
I wish Shiho didn’t go back to Aki…
>>4188869I wish Shiho got Isekai'd.
How are they going to handle the two year gap between Yori's graduation and Himari's?
I just wanna say I fucking hate the bratty bitch Shiho and her stupid arc.
>>4188895That entire arc almost hit the same heights of catty bullshit that was in Watayuri during the hotel sceneGod I love this shit
>>4188876The same as they did it in bloom into you, in the anthology series
>>4188829Mahoako only had 150 entries in the four+ years it ran before the anime, it now has over 4.5k. Here's hoping Sasakoi gets even half as much love.
Kino is like a dogYori will eventually use the peanut butter trick.
>>4188938She is drawn with dog ears a lot. If you don't get all the peanut butter off Yori could get a nasty yeast infection.
People don't seem to want to do anything risqué with the girls from this show. Very little even /e/ level content much less hard core yuri.
>>4189083There are just 4 R18 posts on Pixiv (plus another 4 that don't count because they are the usual bigoted het rape of yuri characters) out of 197. Do these two emit some sort of purity aura that makes people not want to show them erotically?
>>4189091rule34 crap is so fucking nasty
Should have guessed there would be a "radio show"https://www.onsen.ag/program/sasakoi/
>>4189091seems weird if so, considering these two came close to fucking twice (possibly three times if you count the bonus chapter/booklet)
How do I become as cool as Yori-senpai?
>>4189664Become addicted to cats.
>>4189727Ikemen are back on the menu this season? Yori here and Girls Band Cry has Momoka.
>>4189111wish sasakoi had it's own yurireader420 to translate all the extras.
This show is intensely gay. Like I expect it to be called 'hold me down and lick my pussy' gay.
>>4189111>https://www.onsen.ag/program/sasakoi/I cant find that anyone has uploaded this to YouTube even in Japanese much less translated.
They have railroad advertising.
>>4189890
>>4189890https://okazu.yuricon.com/2024/04/12/whisper-me-a-love-song-anime-campaigns-in-tokyo-kyoto-guest-post-by-roxie/it sounds like they're getting decent push in Japan. I wounder if they'll get figures next, watayuri got two sets of them and plushes so it's not out of question.
Up to about what chapter will the anime adapt? I wonder how much can fit in 12 episodes
>>4190099well at least up to when they start dating since the opening shows the SS girls with their band uniform and it happens early enough that seems plausible, but then it also shows Aki and Shiho suffering for each other which is a bit ? are they ending halfway through that arc?
>>4190098I'd guess something like>episode 1: covered chapters 1 - 3>episode 2: ch 4 - 5 (vol 1 ends)>episode 3: ch 6 - 7>episode 4: ch 8 - 9>episode 5: ch 10 - 11 >episode 6: ch 12 - 13>episode 7: ch 14 - 15 (vol 3 ends. Himari & Yori get together)>episode 8: ch 16 - 17 (Shiho introduction, probably been hinted at in previous episodes)>episode 9: ch 18 - 19>episode 11: ch 20 - 23 (Shiho lore flashbacks) >episode 12: ch 24 - 26 (vol 5 ends)most of the recent 12 episode yuri's I can think of cover about 5 volumes of manga, which would put them near the start of the school festival arc where Himari becomes Laureley's manager. They might speedrun the first 3 volumes just to get into Shiho's whole drama, but it's hard to say.
>>4190275oops meant for >>4190099
>>4190275Might as well do volume 6 and get that first kiss in.
>>4190301ah I had forgotten the fireworks festival part but yeah that's a much nice ending point for the anime. I'm sure with some tweaks here and there they can fit it in, even if it's just the kiss and not all of volume 6 itself.
>>4189083Commissions are the answer
>>4190362Let's go! We need more lewd art of them. How much are commissions usually?
I am a filthy anime only. I was a little sad that the cute childhood friend got yaya'd at the speed of light, does she get her own girlfriend?
>>4190498Miki is the only straight girl in the series, though probably not for long since there's a girl who likes her.
>>4190498she has an unnamed swimming club senpai who got a small extra chapter recently about wanting to confess to her.
Here is a weird one. There is so much less art for this show than Girls Band Cry- but according to /a/ salesfags Sasayaku is 28 places ahead of GBC in actual viewership this season. And it was GBC's 2nd episode vs Sasayaku's 1st. JELEE and Seiyuu Radio are also ahead of GBC in viewership- supposedly.I have also read that the only streaming service GBC is on is Abema. Crunchy refused to buy it and that is why English subs are delayed every week. Does this all seem weird to everyone?
>>4190543No, Toei fucking up their original projects (and overestimating the price of those originals) it is a tradition at thls point.
>>4190548Your implying that Toei was somehow "encouraging" all these artists to draw their show ahead of time, now they are doing it on schedule but no one is actually watching the show?
>>4190559I'm comparing it with the shitshow that were the Precure license negotiations in the west and apparently they are doing the same thing in Japan but with GBC.
>>4190498Being a yaya runs in her family.
>>4190499In this entire manga’s run did we see a single male yet? Maybe it’s one of those universes where there’s no male and the girls mate by fingering each other.
>>4190609Aren't there some as background students? And Yori's dad exists.
No Yorihima today...what is even the point of living
>>4190499Is she really straight? I don't remember any proof of that.
>>4190816Sha had a bf
>>4190816Chapter 6
>>4190816bisexuals do existi don't imagine it'll be a source of drama though, considering the lack of "BUT WE'RE BOTH GIRLS???" in this series
>>4190654So does Himari's dad. Males exist (unfortunately), but they are never a character.
>>4190606Damn, even the blonde bassist can't get a girlfriend? I liked her character in the first episode, I thought she had great chemistry with Yori.
>>4190822From this pic >>4190818 I think it is pretty obvious that she wasn't even aware that one of her friends (or even her own sister) can be a lesbian so it is more lilely that she was straight, and maybe we will get some light drama regarding that unless the anime retcons that scene.
>>4190838She gets one, a dramatic and taller one
>>4190818Shit and here i thought literally everyone was gay, it's been a while since I've read it that's why I forgot about this.
>>4190843She's an endangered species and will be corrected to extintion.
>>4190842Shit can't delete that. Ignore it please. She isn't taller than Yori.
>>4190843It's ok it's just a phase some young girls go through. The perfect girl is on the way to correct her.
>>4190844>>4190850Personally I'm not interested in bishit but good for the other girl I guess.
>>4190853Don't worry, Miki will reveal she never even kissed her boyfriend and that they broke up because she figured out she's only into girls.
>>4190839that's faircomphet is also a thing
rereading the manga, I'd forgotten how much of a fan Miki is of her sister.
>>4190921
>>4190921I wanted to see Miki be more of a siscon but with akishiho and that new girl looks like my hopes for Mizuguchi sisters having something is crushed
>>4190849>She isn't taller than Yori.She's shorter than Aki, in fact.
>>4190498rip
what are your hopes or expectations for the next arc now that the two main pairs have settled? Momoka and Hajime are the only ones I could see getting some legitimate drama since the dead sister is stopping anything progressing with them.
How would the anime-onlies react to the introduction of the real MC shiho?
>>4191806Probably the same way they'd act to Kanoko
>>4191815So you're saying she's o/u/r girl?
>>4191821She has been the entire time
>>4190818Her ex was kicked her out because everyone can see Miki is an incestuous raging lesbian.
>>4191748interestingmy read was that momoka isn't even aware of hajime's feelings
>>4191748>platonic and romanticHow does that work?
>>4191934They’ve known each other so long that they’re like a married couple.
Watanare crossover when?
>>4192171
>>4192172
Impressed ep2 is still pretty quality. So what's everyone's yuri math for when Shiho will show up?
How wet.
Oh no. Drama coming.
>>4192327if this prediction >>4190275 holds true then she should show up around episode 5 since she and momoka have a short chapter together in the v2 extras and they animated the v1 extra in today's episode.
>>4192457Oh dang, I missed that post earlier. That seems like a fairly conservative outlook. I was thinking they might go all the way through to v6. I was definitely glad they included the 2nd V1 extra in today's ep though exactly because of the v2 extrasEnd of V5 just seems like such a weird spot to end imo unless for once in our lives a yuri anime adaptation could potentially get a 2nd season but lets not kid ourselves
>>4192504volume 5 definitely isn't an ideal stopping point. I could see them pulling the final chapter of volume 6 forward just so they can at least end on the fireworks first kiss.
>>4192504It has never occurred to me that this whole series wouldn't get adapted. The thought of only one season hurts so much.
>>4192521tragically the days of the 26 episode yuri are very much long behind us now.
>>4192521Yuri Hime left the Bloom Into You anime unfinished despite it not reaching the damn stage play. This would be a repeat of that with it not reaching the band battle.
>>4192521>>4192811I mean the WataYuri anime ended before it got to the good stuff too so don't be surprised.
>>4192669>Senpai~! I woke up this morning to find I had grown taller for some reason!>Seriously, why!?>And so,>she started with a kabedon.>You're so small and cute, Senpai~!>Yeah...>Right now, I can do anything I want with you...!>Eh?>Senpai<3>Wait!? I need to mentally prepare myself first...>No can do<3
>>4192894cute! thanks for the translation anon.
>>4192332None of the usual about how big and strong her hand was?
>>4192811They should just concentrate on telling the YoriHima story, they might actually manage a decent adaption with a conclusion that way. Fuck the rest, the band battle is mostly about Shiho anyway.
>>4193175But Shiho is the main character...
>>4193177The problem is that yuri anime are usually just straight adaptions of the manga, either because the director is lazy or out of some misplaced hope that it will get a second season.They should approach these anime with a view that there is twelve episode to tell a story, with a beginning and an end, and go from there. Concentrate on one plotline.
>>4193175I don't really give a shit about Shiho and her relationship with Aki but I did like the moments she made Yori jealous just to be a bitch. Jealous Yori is cute and Himari was made to be doted on by her senpais.
>>4193179>yuri anime are usually just straight adaptionsI feel so betrayed.
I got diabetes again while reading this.Is it true that a drama queen will appear and turns the entire story into an angst fest?I usually like that kind of story more, but I don't know if I would like it in a sweet story like this.
>>4193179>misplaced hope that it will get a second season.I don't think any of them actually believe they'll get a second season these days, it's more about pushing people buy the manga and/or start reading whatever magazine it's serialized in, which unfortunately means plenty of plotlines can be left unfinished as an incentive to do so. I agree though that a lot of them could benefit from anime original endings.>>4193220While yes, Shiho is a massive drama queen and story switches gears to being more drama focuses, I wouldn't say it loses all its sweetness either. A lot of Shiho's pot stirring just ends up pushing Yori and Hima closer and you still see them go on dates and do cute things inbetween the drama. I guess it's personal taste, Shiho and her arc has a real love it or hate it vibe but she's been around since volume 3/4 and we're at volume 10 now so it's not like she's going anywhere.
>ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴImagine how much better it would be if Kino strangled this stupid bitch right here.
>>4193298>Shiho goes on a personal vendetta against YoriHima and tries to ruin their lives and relationshipDare I say, kino?
>>4188804>>4188804Some things I hope to see in the upcoming chapters:> more YoriHima sexual tension>AkiShiho relationship arc with a first kiss>YoriHima and AkiShiho group date>Yori finally learns that Aki had a crush on her>Himari meets Yori's parent(s)what about /u/?
>>4193312>Himari meets Yori's parent(s)I want to see Hima's dad meet Yori and her dad.
>>4193318I want to see Hima's dad (initially) mistake Yori's dad for Yori's "brother" before realizing Hima is dating a girl.
>>4193312I just want more of these 2 and also kaori and mari.
This is the first time I got a look at Yori's back. Her hair at the back is Miorine's mushroom head but with a shorter tail, and then at the front she has Key-like hairscoops instead of a ahoge.
>>4193681I just realized that when you cant see their faces they look like a mom and daughter...
>>4193175>the band battle is mostly about Shiho anyway.But that's exactly why some of us want to see it animated, nee-san
>>4193577I hope their story also includes ghost Kyou.
>>4193695They would need more than 12 episodes to reach that unless they are absolutely planning to butcher the story.
>>4193312Kinda want to see Himari's mom teasing yorihima a bit.
>>4194627Wrong tab, nee-san...

>>4195076Himari KINO indeed
>>4195551
will they catch up to Himari and Yori before graduation?
>>4196400I think Himari might have a thing for black hair girls.
>>4197789I want them to date already. Cute YoriHima kiss animated when.
Do you still think they'll reach the summer festival scene?
>>4197852Yes they're trying to adapt 3 manga chapters per episode and that scene it is only in chapter 31.
it definitely feels like they blew the budget early because this episode was rough.
Look what showed up in D4DJ. Bushiroad is sponsoring Sasakoi.
>>4197978Is it jp only?
>>4198040Don't know. The /a/non who found that plays on a JP server. Don't know if they run in all markets D4DJ is accessible from.
>>4198108>rainbows are straighter
Kiss her now Yori! Now!
I was kinda hoping this scene would be like the part in AdaShima when Shimamura texted "Yeah" back to Adachi and Adachi spun her brain around in circles trying to figure out the deeper meaning behind a simple answer.
>>4198912Not the last time Yori gets dense/flustered and Himari's just like "you're so cool!"
>>4189083That is honestly the first ever time I've seen Yori's breasts. For some reason people don't wanna lewd this manga/anime.
>>4199094I know, I wrote the same thing last week and someone deleted it. But this show has a aura around it that no one wants to make /h/ scenes or even just nudes of them. And we have had a bath scene in the actual show, still didn't prompt anything.
>>4199094>>4199228That's cause Yori looks like a man.
>>4199290That's my favorite kind of woman.
>>4199290She's gorgeous and I won't hear a word against her.
>>4199290Male Yori already exists as her dad.
https://sasakoi-anime.com/bd/01.htmlI'm willing to shell out for the Blu-rays to support the anime, but 3 episodes per disc seems wack. Am I missing something here, or has it just been forever since I bought this specific physical format?
>>41994592-4 episodes per volume is the norm I think, so it's not too bad.
I'm also interested in buying the blu-rays but this is a first for me. Do any of the stores ship overseas or will I have to use a forwarding service? Some of the bonus items look interesting too but it's not the end of the world if they're not possible to obtain.
>>4199543I've used Amazon JP in the past which wasn't too bad for shipping costs, haven't used it in a while though so things might have changed. Other than that I always hear good things about CD Japan. If some of the bonus items you're interested in are store exclusive than you'll need a proxy service.
>>4199543I use Buyee, ZenMarket, or WorldShopping as needed.
Why does fangirling Himari remind me of Kaos-sensei during one of her moments of yuri enjoyment?
>>4200393
This is a surprise. They are here and no one from GBC, JELEE, or Radio are even on the chart.
>>4200400>GBC>JEELEI think the fans of those just voted for different girls so they didn't make it to the top.>Seiyuu RadioWait until the next week at least, when people that watched the latest episode will have the chance to vote again.
>>4200400waifufags don't care about yuri shows.
do you expect hidive to release a dub once the series is complete?
>>4200524Sentai/hidive seems to be weird with what shows they decide to make dubs for; sometimes big shows don't get any and small shows that you'd never expect get one. Bang Dream, for example, only had a dub for the second season for whatever weird reason. Sentai casts are mostly literally whos anyway and the quality doesn't tend to be very good so if it never gets one I won't be terribly sad.
>>4200524Hopefully notWhy ruin a show as beautiful as this with that garbage?
>>4199543AmiAmi also ships overseas, but they have no exclusives. The buyfag guide might be helpful to you: buyfags.moe
>>4200981>how to talk to short people
>>4200526that a shame about the quality, I've obviously got no issue watching subs but a decent dub can definitely help bring a show to an even bigger audience. Maybe it'll get lucky and and get one that's pretty good.
