Boo!
>>4312465Is this series yuri?
I'm absolutely dying to see more of these two animated.
>>4312997>gu*sDelete this shit right now!
Great yuris for the October season >Mieruko>Kurau phantom memory >ShigofumiAny others I forgot?
>>4313017does this count?
>>4313020Ye
>>4313017>Kurau phantom memory>Shigofumiare these actually yuri? i dont think ive heard them brought up here before
>>4313027Yeah, in the end the girls either wind up together in the end or admit she's gay for the one girl, though they're both more open. I thought that they had sufficiently scratched the itchBoth are kinda supernatural as well
Urasekai Picnic is great for October too. If only it had an anime adaptation.
>>4313017soul eater NOT
>>4313017Okiku
>>4312991So far no, while there was some building for MC and her rival, they were even supposed to go on a (non romantic) date, when the rival joined the team their dynamic got really weak. It does not help the author suddenly revealed two of the girls on the team had offscreen boyfriends all along, aside from the manlet self insert the series has, and the other girl on the OP is going to have a fiance arc soon. The only explicit romantic interest in the series are girls interested in two guys of the team, while the boss who could be described by a word we can't say here is shipped with another guy, which is to be expected ot something from fujo jump.
>>4313035Otherside Picnic anime just looks bad on this side, so it's prety much a skill issue
>>4313069So all the girls are paired with boys. Guess that's yuri too
>>4313072The MC and the rival are the only ones who don't, the blonde girl from OP has this offscreen fiance for an arranged marriage thing. It would be fine if they actually got closer when they started working together, but the (ex)rival is now basically just another cast member she interacts platonically. I wouldn't recommend it because it has a lot of silly and pathetic elements meant to pander to other audiences, the self insert manlet being the most blatant of all of them, the first chapters of the series were all basically him saving the day by programming magic for the girls to actually do the work.
>Trash FlowerI didn't know Gado was making another oneBut will this one be as based as WAHNW? Dahye deserved only the best, which was why Yeonhwa was perfect for her

>>4313146Anything can do that.
>symphogear video game never everSad. Missed opportunity.
>>4313155what is this?
>>4313155There's a Chinese HibiMiku artist on Twitter who's working on a Symphogear platformer.https://x.com/CodeX_0023/status/1823381587326874033

>tfw meticulously tracking down your favorite yuri artists as they migrate to bluesky and when you find them just mainline their entire portfolio of yuri work at once as they repost all their art for the sake of verisimilitude and account congruityDoes anybody know what the ":orig" equivalent is for bsky images, to get the full original size? Or does it just give you it automatically when you open it? I don't want to be posting samples on /u/ like a chump.
>reddit moron Elon buys Twitter>one extremely obnoxious ideological anglophone group floods it while another migrates to Bluesky>Japanese artists keep using Twitter like normal, despite the countless awful changes and the occasional idiot tourist English account getting angry over yuri art>suddenly Elon's diseased tech bro brain makes him prevent artists from opting out of letting AI steal their drawings>Japanese artists migrate to Bluesky where they will inevitably get a ton of "I love your work but please stop drawing this icky type of yuri" responses from English accounts if they draw incest or age gap or whatever, or straight up get psychotically harassed, except without the positivity to outweigh the backlash (which used to come with a huge website like Twitter)>more artists than ever start deleting their stuff and/or become afraid of drawing certain thingsI really, really want to be an obsessive paranoid dumbass making up doomsday scenarios in my head.
>>4313213>Japanese artists migrate to Bluesky where they will inevitably get a ton of "I love your work but please stop drawing this icky type of yuri" responses from English accountsNever happened.
>>4313215Honestly, yeah, from my experience yuri is just too niche; social media might get mad at specific works when discussing them separately, but individual artist accounts rarely get targeted that way since they're not mainstream & prominent enough. Again, I want to be thinking crazy thoughts.
>>4313220The attack of asumi will help us dont worry.
>>4313194>>4313213>Japanese artists migrate to blueskyIs that an actual phenomenon?
>>4313266A lot of them deleted old artworks on xitter, they probably won't post on xitter too unless the clause is reversed.
>>4313213>>4313266>>4313270They also hate pixiv for allowing AI shit and making their art open source for AI dataset. The more Japanese artists moving to Bluesky, the better. They also use pawoo and similar things, but those have even fewer users than bluesky.
Let's make a butt.
>>4313302I wish Japan weren't so Irish so we could get more butt-focused yuri
>>4313194You can use IMU to get the full size picture on most sites.https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl
>>4313302
>>4313302thank you for that camera anglei wouldnt have understood what she meant with text only!
>>4313266Yes, the AI shit isn't being implemented until November so nip artists are packing their bags slowly. Many are asking how to mass delete their tweets before they move. This might be the actual turning point for artists on Japanese twitter. It might take more to get normal nips to drop the app.
>>4313304Homura Subaru makes good use of butts.
>>4313325
>>4313326
Also a Katja x Hana classic.
>>4313329What a fucking anime this was
>>4313335if I ever randomly win loads of cash I'm funding a Katja anime about her & her harem where she also gets to cuck Sasha for good
>>4313337You know who's the real audience of your show when in it's second season you have to turn the male MC into a girl
>>4313355So not the yuri audience for sure.
>>4313358i thought season 2 was gayer than the first
>>4313358katja and hana were otp
No voiced vid for shuukura vol5?
>>4313361Next time kill the guy and replace him with a girl, instead of just appealing to a non yuri fetish, maybe your series will be better know than for a few ecchi scenes
Well, /u/?
>>4313387With precision and patience
>>4313358>reading comprehension
>new death end request game>The MC of the first game is MIA (again)Do they just hate arata or something? I'm glad they're handing everything over to this girls but this is the second he's been missing with the first being in 2 where he just got unceremoniously killed off
>>4313387Google it
>>4313387I have no idea.
>>4312967I don't really like vampire yuri
>>4313436I haven't looked at anything beyond pre-release material since I'm waiting for the western release, but from what I could tell he's just hiding while enacting some keikaku in this one, plus his doppelganger is an active villain. He can't fight so it's hard for him to be a main character unless they repeat the same setup as the first game again. Personally I'm happy Mai is still one of the main protagonists, she's great. Though I have no idea how big of a role Rottie has since she also seems to be missing at the beginning.
>>4313474Ive been playing it and liking it so far but it does kinda make sense he's doing stuff behind the scenes this time around from what I'm seeing so far. Though if be lying if I said I didn't like how the first game had stuff split between game and RL set up but understand how that hasn't been possible from the second game onwards since everything has naturally escalated to being IRL over a shitty MMO containing the cult/interdimensional autism. Mai's interaction with the greater cast are cute tho. desu I'm more shocked that Lydia appeared in the story first before rottie
>>4313387
>>4313358>>4313355I like how many fangirls picked it up for Sasha and ended up falling for the yuri-dom loli. Here's one who picked up the manga & drew fan art of the threesome Katja & Hana had with Miyuri.
In the beginning, Madokami made Ada and Eve
>>4313509i dont know what this says, but i hope its implying age gap yuri
>>4313511mayhaps
>>4313506>Our goddess is such a cute magical girl... I really want to molest her.>Sure, let's do it!And that's how the first humans were banished from the garden of Eden.
>>431350917 37 is an insane age gap, what 17 year old is attracted to such a hag
what is the hoedown 'on re:cutie honey'?why is this one yuri, while the others arent apparently? is it a case of every iteration just being completely different from one another?
>>4313525Go Nagai is one of my greatest heroes but not very yuri-friendly. Episode 1 of RE: is one of the best pieces of animation of all time (though the whole thing is worth watching & 3 is a great finale). Not sure how "canon" the yuri is given a guy from those late Gainax-Trigger circles also claimed Lio x Galo from Promare with their "forced life-saving kiss" was not canon but you had to be a lot less picky then.Randomly remembered seeing Erica Friedman claim you need to "get used to the art style" in the 2000s & getting really pissed
>>4313512Well this is just skinship gals being pals...
KitaKimi is the Twilight of yuri.
>>4313535 wheres the supernatural elements and age gap?
>>4313525This one is focused on Honey and Natsuko's relationship and them growing closer together. They get plenty of cute and sexy moments.I haven't seen any other instalments, but I assume they aren't nearly as close in those.The whole thing is about as long as a movie so you can watch it one evening.
>>4313535No it's the Supernatural of yuri.
>>4313521Your mom
>>4313525Universe was also quite yuri.
I heard gun gale alternative is more gay compare to og sao how true is that?
>>4313567Well any amount of gay is going to be more gay than zero gay I suppose?
>>4313567mc is a tall woman like 183 cm that manage to get a lot of little girls to follow her and gets kissed by a bisluts and kisses the avatar on the cheek of another middle schooler, the rest of the relationship is a bit of goggles with some DV if you enjoy that like this 2 killing each other and then meeting irl later
>>4313567i dont know how desperate you have to be for yuri to look for crumbs in SAO of all places.
>>4313572Who said anything about being desperate?>>4313569SAO had a lesbian. Who literally died of AIDS.
>>4313538It's a story about a mutually toxic relationship with an obnoxious fanbase of underage retards, I say it's close enough.
>>4313543That would be Kill La Kill.
>>4313572is not being desperate anon ggo is made by the writer of kino no tabi since he hates og SAO, and he wanted to make his own story and mc got kissed by a bislut on the mouth on the final episode it was a surprise not even people looking for yuri
>>4313183Damn that's gay.
reminder to watch teekyuu
>>4313577>he hates OG SAO>helped kawahara with GGO arc, which is why he writes thisYou're a retard.
>>4313582Do you know it?Do you watch it?Do you read it?Do you do it?Do you have it?Do you adore it?
>>4313577>bislut with an emphasis on 'slut' (and 'het') keeps doing dudes after kissing the MCBut enough the Succubus manga.
3 days off work, what do i scratch off my backlog next
>>4313695Watch Cazador and Granbelm right now.
>>4313695>ShigofumiTell me more about this.
How Do We Relationship and Arcane ending. It’s the end of online lesbian culture as we know it.
>>4313701Time for Leodia content from Riot then. About damn time the OG LoL yuri got something proper.
>>4313696>GranblemThis was one of the worst animes I've ever watchedFucking garbo
Do we have a Happy Sugar Life that actually has a good ending? It was a shame cause i find JK x JS particularly interesting, i know we do have good JS x OL.
>>4313719It's kino actually.
>>4313719>animesOpinion discarded
>>4313722>Happy Sugar LifeThat was a good ending.
>>4313695Flip Flappers is a masterpiece.
>>4313734This. Best 6-episode series I've ever watched.
>>4313735
>>4313722It's perfect
>>4313735Honestly I stop watching the series after episode 6 too. Took me years to admit the second half kinda sucks.
>>4313695Kurumi, Granbelm, and HaruKana
Mild take warning. GB can be yuri, but it's only yuri when the character is permanently female and embraces her female identity. Unfortunately most GB shit aren't like that.
>>4313757Yeah but why do it in the first place?It's just a fetish and not the good kind. Actually now that I think about it, it's good because it serves as a valuable red flag that the creator of a GB work cannot be trusted to make proper yuri and can be dropped without regret.
>>4313758Why do anything but yuri in the first place? It's like asking why bisluts in yuri exist. There are worse cases like characters who've slept with a thousand men but settle with a girl throughout the series, and yet still considered yuri. Not all yuri are pure gold star yuri.
>>4313757Fuck off, gb isn’t Yuri and you should go back
>>4313762>There are worse cases like characters who've slept with a thousand men but settle with a girl throughout the series>thinks trannie shit is better than bislutsYeah no , at least bisluts are women
>The Engagement of the Disgraced Witch and the Cross-Dressing PrincessWhy did nobody tell me about this
>>4313767Because it's unrelentingly bland.
>>4312465So what manga is all the buzz lately? I need something new to obsess over
>>4313757yeah sure anon but you will have to give her a gf with same circumstances otherwise it wont work
>>4313757Hilariously cope, basically what you are saying >If the series act like the GB never happened and we just forgot about it then it's just like every other yuri series! I wonder what not a single GB in existence is like this and they constantly bring it up, could it be the whole point of GB narratives? Oh no this couldn't possible be it!>>4313758Yuri are narrative about women, not narratives about men, much less about men living inside female corpses, they are different genres born with different purposes. GB authors find this western instance of trying to argue GB has a lower hierarchy than yuri or yaoi very disrespecful, it's basically shitting on the whole point of their works, they are not doing GB stories so you can ignore it and project whatever personal issues you have on it.>>4313762>First opportunity he has he uses to shit on women who doesn't fit his idea of a woman while claiming he would rather have men larping as womenIncels like you are not welcome here, please leave this site, take a bath, get a job and try to have sex at least once.
>>4313302when does this get good its been pretty middling so far
>>4313771Octave.
>>4313757Youjo senki is one I'd consider that But truly and genuinely rare, I'd think 1/100 chance that it actually is like that
>>4313781I meant new ones. Like what are you lot keeping up with lately?
>>4313782I remember only youjo senki and onimai as series that are like this
>>4313785Haven't heard of oninai but tanya is based and she should really marry viktoria, it's kinda like a katja hana lite in a way
>>4313771Gakeppuchi Reijou wa Kurokishi-sama o Horesasetai
>>4313782>>4313785Ah the series where the protagonist constantly complains about being stuck in a female body, about how he hates everything about being a woman and even has begged some of the lesser gods he meets from time to time to turn him back into a guy. I will never understand how you can headcanon a whole series like this, maybe it's a degenerate thing.Both series are not yuri, if you want to talk about it the best place is probably /a/ or maybe just post on /pol/ since they only talk about this specific topic
>>4313791NahI think it's yuri
>>4313771Watatabe anime official announcement on the 24th.
>>4313771Yearning For A Night Full of YouBokura no Ai wa Kimochi WaruiAkumade Amai Watashi no Kanojo
>>4313794Not yuri.
>>4313797
>>4313741wouldve been better without the het rape + forced het marriage + forced het impregnation
>>4313800Anon, what series you are talking about, because for sure it's not happy sugar life
>>4313794>>4313798reincarnation is still gender bender
>>4313802Cope
>>4313792>>4313794>>4313798>Didn't like the answers he got, starting spamming imagesTypical, while this is sad by itself, the most pathetic part is that the ship you are posting is 100% headcanon, so it's not only not yuri, but even if Tanya was a girl it would still not be yuri.
>>4313801i cant remember if it was shown in the anime, but the little girls mother bumped into a dude on her way to her highschool debut and got raped then pressured into marriage
>>4313789>>4313793>>4313796You've given me too many options and now I don't know what to do.Which of these should I read?
>>4313804>Didn't like that people disagreed with him>Sits around hating his life because of it
>>4313805I don't think anyone ever cared about the mother backstory, she was a shitty broken person.
>>4313801The anime skipped over Yuuna's backstory.>>4313800Brainlet take.
>>4313809>she was a shitty broken personbecause of the backstory...
>>4313771Read Akumade Amai Watashi no Kanojo and choose a camp to join, it's the hottest activity on /u/ right now. Second only to hating Miyagi.
>>4313804You realize most yuri is headcanon right? And that's ok. That's kind of the point of headcanon, because let's be honest here, most of the girls in any anime that like a dude would be better off together.Imagine thinking that only canon relationships are yuri. Are you ok? Why don't you go blow up the Nintendo thread in that case?
>>4313807You are not disagreeing with me at all, you are disagreeing with a whole industry that rejects your delusions, you can post a thousand pics here, GB or this series in specific will never be yuri.
>>4313818You're really upset about this aren't you?
>>4313757The best argument to make against it is that most genderbendering rarely ends in yuri or focuses on the romance between the characters. All the arguments about what makes a female character actually a girl are just retarded because all the people who argue for it have way too broad of a definition (and start including actual men) while those who argue against it almost always consider female robots to count as yuri even though they aren't physically or mentally.
>the two responses to reading the forbidden manga
>>4313817>You realize most yuri is headcanon right?No, I'm even going to help you, please circle all those series were the yuri is headcanon and show how most of them are headcanon.And there is subtext yuri, Hoshikuzu is subtext, Liar Satsuki is subtext, Wataten is subtext, but Youjo Senki for everyone who actually ever spend 5 minutes reading can tell there is zero romantic subtext, aside from the protagonist also having very low opinions of homosexuality.Posting artwork of two girls is acceptable as a yuri ship as long they are in fact showing affection for each other, posting a guy and a girl is not.
>>4313823Damn... You're a newfag huhNot going to argue since I don't care enough but whatever. Cope>There's subtext yuriCan't make up your mind
>>4313821Wrong, you show your ignorance about the industry as a whole with you post trying to subtle claim there could be possible any GB work that could be yuri, stop being a pathetic coward little bitch.Androids count as yuri because the concept of a female robot is a convention the industry has since the 60s with Astro's little sister, had you any knowledge about your hobby instead of spending the whole day masturbating maybe you could use you little brain to actually understand what makes a good or bad argument.Yuri is a genre, yuri is a narrative, GB is another genre, another narrative, stop pushing your "opinions" on stuff that isn't an argument to begin with, show me the GB works here >>4313823
>>4313825You can't argue because you are a moron who didn't even watch the series you are talking about since you are already made ridiculous wrong claims about the protagonist. You are an imbecile who thinks shipping is the same thing as subtext, subtext is an interpretation of scenes of the series that imply the characters have romantic interest for each other, Hoshikuzu has those, the series you are talking about has ZERO, actually you can easily see by the protagonist monologues it's explicitly not romantic.
>>4313822>Shocked at how peak it is / Happy and content
>>4313827>the concept of a female robot is a convention the industry has since the 60s with Astro's little sisterSo if the industry decided that GB counted as yuri since the 90's, you would consider it as such? It wouldn't change my opinion. Frankly, I don't really care if GB can be theoretically yuri or not because it doesn't inspire any strong emotions in me (positive or negative), but I would still ban it from /u/ because it leads to retarded arguments and opens too much of a door to undesirables.
>>4313827And there are some GB series that are officially advertised as yuri on Comic Walker. But like I said, even if they are, it shouldn't really change your opinion regardless.
>>4313828You're an imbecile who thinks that subtext equates canon contentYou're arguing that things can not be canon if it's headcanon, canon being things that can aren't up for interpretation, in other words not subtext which by the way isn't only used for romantic relationships are are used alongside canon to make up headcanon>Subtext is an interpretation of scenesExactly, so if you can possibly interpret it another way outside of canon, they it means it's probably not canon - gay subtext used to be pretty much all people got for yuri, the shit wasn't canonare you really this retarded?AKB0048 - Gay but no canonAzumanga Daioh - Gay but no canonCanaan - Gay but no canonGa Rei Zero - Gay but no canonIn all cases there was headcanon built off of subtext, so what the fuck are you talking about?Come on newfag, maybe you should think a little harder, were we even watching the same series?
>>4313817>>4313841>You realize most yuri is headcanon right?NTA but there are different kinds of headcanon based on whether it contradicts the canon of the show or not. A yuri headcanon of two girls who are in love with guys or are stated to be nothing more than friends contradicts what has been established. Whereas if the two girls' relationship is presented as ambiguous in-universe, conceiving of them as a couple doesn't contradict the premise of the series. That's a fundamental difference.
>>4313838Yuri is nothing but a word which exists to describe and categorize works from a certain category, so if the market and colloquial usage of a certain word changes there is nothing I or anyone else can do about it. Though the alternative scenario you are talking about would require for (at least) Japan culture to be very different in the 90s from what is even today, after all like it was pointed out, like 99.5% of works of the GB genre are not trying to push characters of the same (current) sexuality together to begin with. And this isn't even a discussion exclusive to yuri or GB. The spin off from sci fi called hard sci fi was born out of discussions of where the line between fantasy and sci fi begins since knowledge of advanced science and space became more common, some old sci fi concepts started looking indistinguible from fantasy.I have said this before, but personally the word yuri is ultimately not important to me, I don't really care what the works are called, I know I want to read or watch narratives about women who have romantic feelings for each other, not about men who are now into female bodies, this won't change. That said, this is the yuri board, for yuri content to be posted.
>>4313308
>>4313840There are also het harem series, with no yuri must I say, with the yuri tag on comic walker as someone recently pointed out in the RAW threads, it's important not to confuse those with advertisement, since we don't even know how the tags are defined to begin with.
>>4313854>there is nothing I or anyone else can do about itThe definition of yuri here doesn't have to agree with the definition of yuri in Japan or anywhere else. Just because Japan accepts it doesn't mean we have to.>>4313859The series I'm referring to both have 百合 in their names' too.
>>4313757GB never was and never will be yuri. Take your male fetishes out of this board.
>>4313877b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but the /u/ sticky....
>>4313841No you fucking retard. Subtext can be defined in two ways, from the author perspective it's something he knows it exists and wants the audience to interpreted in a certain way (if they will or not is not relevant), from the audience perspective it's the understanding the author is trying to imply more than he is explicitly stating with certain aspects of the work, however in the same way the audience has no way of knowing if the author is really trying to imply something or not, people just use something called common fucking sense to determine something that looks like a duck is probably a duck.So subtext is inherently not canon, as I said above, we use common sense when applying the word subtext, in the specific case of romantic feelings or romance, if you are contradicting canon then there is no way to argue romantic subtext, you can pick the novel yourself and read Tanya's monologues or read the subordinate actions to see how there is no way anyone with common sense would think there is romantic subtext in this series.
>>4313893Someone's upset that I educated them on matters of subtext and headcanon
>>4313873Japan does not accept it, you had not so long ago that fake TS novel which promoted itself on twitter with the yuri tag and the TS tag, people were outraged, the author said he was sorry and removed the yuri tag, even though there was no actual TS in the story. I know the series you are talking about, but the title itself already makes the distinction it's a situation the protagonist found himself in, there is also recently a very het novel which is getting a manga adaptation with yuri in the title, which is about the male protagonist suddenly teleporting to a yuri visual novel word and you can guess what happens yourself, it could even get a yuri tag on some online reader too, because again we don't understand how those are defined.We don't have to agree with anything but at some point the word yuri stops losing meaning if we have no standard to follow, we can just call it something else and stop pretending we care.
>>4313895Just want to thank you for making GBfags on this board look even worse.
>>4313815How did you fags killed watanare schizo from here again? He moved his mentally ill ritual to /a/ for some reason
>>4313891I have the suspicion the mod that did that isn't with us anymore... you can guess why!
>>4313900He is probably posting on /a/ because it's very obvious the series will become the designed trashcan of the season and all shitposters will latch to it
>>4313902Found the schizo
>>4313898No problem, glad that you made yourself look like an ass too.
>>4313896>the word yuri stops losing meaning if we have no standard to followI don't think we should have no standards. Rather our standards should be defined by us, not by what someone else like Japan says as they can always go full retard sometime in the future. That's why I don't like the "nips define it this way" argument.
>>4313902You are still here huh, also very cute of you to just admit your schizo reason
>>4313906I just don't see the point of calling it the yuri board, it's the same thing that happened with Narou, people started abusing the yuri tag and so they started using the girls' love tag to describe series focusing on romantic relationship between girls and not just two maybe subtext girls in some het harem series, which not every author is aware or even cares about it though. I am just saying the same thing I said first, yuri is just a word, we know what the works we care about are about and what they are not, we can call those whatever we want if yuri happens to one day not fit our interests anymore. Baihe is always open for grabs.
>>4313906You don’t like that argument because the nips wisely disagree with your crusade of counting GB as yuri
>>4313920I think changing your language because some retards misuse a term is worse, but that's just me.>>4313947Read the entire conversation. I'm okay with not allowing GB on /u/, regardless of whether Japan agreed it was yuri or not.
>>4313183Wait, this is actually yuri?
>>4313975Yeah it's gay as fuck.
>>4313975Was that rock comfy?
>>4313975you been living under a rock?
>>4313964Well, the point of having tags is to help users find content, if users are not finding the content they want you either moderate every single work with the yuri tag one by one or you create a new tag and warn users that abuse will get them some sort of punishment.
>>4313986>>4313987Rockmind.
>sora no method is 10 years agonow you girls remember
>>4314012>one of the main characters is a m*le not watching
>>4313900I will never understand the endless seething it generates from local schizos, both on /a/ and /u/ >>4313920GL tag was based though, it pretty much killed the muh subtext muh headcanon muh this shit is totally yuri arguments there
>>4313986>>4313987Time to get out of my comfy rock and read it I guess
>>4314022>I will never understand the endless seething it generatesnta but i know nothing about the series other than it supposedly being poly, which is enough to make me lose interest
Is this yuri?
>>4313017Yagakimi aired in fall also Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
>>4313266>>4313270Any list of artists who have migrated to Bluesky?
wish there was a site or something that gave a simple explanation of if and how yuri a series is.Kind of like yuriempire or okazu, except with a rating that makes sense/is consistent, a rating that gets updated if a series gets confirmed as not yuri, and is made by someone whos yuri goggles arent on so tight that theyre causing permanent brain damage to the point where they give blatant het shows above average yuri scores. just give it a "yuri-friendly, subtext, heavy-subtext, practically yuri, or explicit yuri" ranking or something. Could even have like a user poll to gauge what the masses think the yuri-level is.swear theres like no reliable place to check, MAL will go full denial and even call yuru yuri 'not yuri', and then theres the yuri sites that will list literally anything with two girls in it as a 6/10 on the yuri scale. it doesnt have to be perfect, just be reasonable and consistent
>>4314046No. It's from Hibike author but with 20 male characters.
>>4314053Just start a google doc or something anon
>>4314053good luck with that
yuri = things i likenot yuri = things i don't like
>>4314053>MAL will go full denial and even call yuru yuri 'not yuri'classic MAL
>>4314053That's pretty much what Yuri Navi does in their reviews/articles but people still bitch about it. The genre has grown but the way that yurifags vs. casual yuri enjoyers vs. yuri-neutral readers consume and enjoy yuri causes inconsistent reception to different works. It would be difficult for an "authority" better than Yuri Navi to get approval in the first place.
>>4314053just ask here
Has anyone watched Prisma iliya? is it possible to say that this is yuri? or are there only hints and bytes?
>>4314046It'll probably be girlship at best.>>4314054The Hibike author regularly writes yuri now.
>>4314079It has yuri elements but hard to call it complete yuri with Illya (and therefore Kuro) showing legitimate interest in stepbro Shiro at times. Fortunately it's confined to a small number of episodes.But on the other hand Miyu has a genuine crush on Illya and Kuro kisses a lot of girls.
>>4314053Nothing will ever beat asking here and searching archives.
>>4314034But why does it make you seethe endlessly then?
>>4314058>they aren't lesbians they are middle school girlsAh yes, as we all know the gay virus always spares people under a certain age.
>>4314079I never finished it but to say there is only 'hints and bites' would be very oddIn my memory are distinctly three very intense make outs and I think I fell off it early in season 3
>>4313823>Hoshikuzu is subtextNo.>>4280294>>4314053There have been a bunch of (japanese) sites like that, all of them are not updated anymore and they've never been consistent with their ratings of "level of yuri" of a series,
Do people go over the bs about "levels of BL" and "real BL"?
>>4314078Okay. Is this yuri?
>>4314109No
>>4314083She is invited and paid to work in an anthology, regardless you csn easily see the audience for this series is definitely not yuri fans.
>>4314109Yes!
>>4314103Yes, especially since there are types of yaoi works fujos dislike
>>4314109Maybe.
>>4314109Obviously
>>4314103No, especially since they will accept anything, including females that pretend they're males as yaoi
>>4314109Technically it's 1% yuri and 99% hetshit.
>>4314132Including reverse trap/reverse trap couples?
A set of books for fans of healthy, wholesome relationships
>>4314138It's not wholesome when there's not a ton of sex scenes.
Just caught up with Pandora in the crimson shell manga. Why is it so fucking good and why is it so unknown? Also Fucking GITS fans didn't even know basic shit about it despite being set in the same world. Half the time, they said it's not canon to their shit without even knowing anything about it. Meanwhile P2501 is literally there in the manga floating around and talking to Nene. God, I am so fucking mad at their ignorance
>>4314140>why is it so unknown?Because the art style is boring.>GITSHas way better art style. The 1995 anime is the reason it's so popular.
>>4314136YeahIf it calls itself a guy they accept it even with a vag and topscars
>>4314142Wow you speaks like those complete retards that are GITSfags So kys faggot
>>4314142You are boring
>>4314140>why is it so unknown?Torrenting the official English release is too hard apparently, if it doesn't get scanlated it may as well not exist.
>>4314146It's funny because the retard suddenly talks about why GITS is popular which I didn't even ask or care, I was just angry at its fans being stupidI should probably talk to nips fans if I want to discuss that world, at least they seem to know their shit from my brief search since I saw a dude saying it's impossible to analyze the world of appleseed and gits without pandora
>>4314109I don't know
>>4314138>sealedperv
What's the bara of yuri?
>>4314148It's an old release so they do the weird random BOLD words in every fucking bubble.
>>4314159They also somehow butchered Appleseed as Apollo Seed, but it's still better than lots of the scans we regularly read.
>>4314158GrannyXGranny yuri.
>>4314170You remember Hanamonogatari? The author is a Bara mangaka
What's the omegaverse of yuri?
>>4314175omegaverse yuri
>>4314109It's about 90% yuri
>>4314109100% yuri unless you live in the past
>>4314175It's still yuriJust one of them gets pregnant from scissoring and or fingering
>>4314175>>4314191
>>4314109Can you repeat the question?
>>4314194>>4314196Perfect examples
>>4314175Women/girls calling each other "brat".
>Eris no Seihai (The Holy Grail of Eris) fantasy mystery light novel gets animedoes the novel have yuri?
>>4314158Yuri between plump, busty milfs.
>>4314158Office workers yuri.
>>4314209No, there's a male character in there.
>>4314209Even if it doesn't,. with the way they're looking at each other. They're gay, the male character will certainly be just a plot device designed to be used to make the other girl jealous. They're destined to be together.
>>4314175Mesugaki yuri
>>4314209No.It ends up with the MC having a living husband and that ghost woman nearby though so maybe you can call it bisexual max if yo uwant to streatch it, but there's zero yuri in it to be a bait or not sadly.
whats with the rape talk, miyagi is consenting
>>4314222Miyagi couldn't consent since Sendai-san didn't ask for her consent, she asked for forgiveness in advance.
Surprise yuri, and it's a legitimate surprise!
What does Erika mean by this?
>>4314227Remember that /sp/ post about Yuu and Haruka from Sakura Trick? They can't be like that.

>>4314242Isn't it always releases on winter comiket
Remove the yuri tag and spread the females only master race to prevent confusion
>>4314245The issue is that you can have females only content without yuri
>>4314246What? What does that mean?
>>4314247The girls are not interacting with each other in ways you could interpret as having a romantic connotation to it, if they are not involved with guys offscreen.On stuff like panda where this tag is used, you will get a lot of solo galleries.
I'm sensing an anime...
>>4314254why are the books wraped in extra plastic
>>4314255too many wet ladies buying it, all for miyagi
>>4314254What is the one on the left?
>>4314257spy classroom
>>4314087On the other hand, the author has showed himself as an HFfag and clearly ships Shirou with Sakura. He basically asspulled a way to resurrect and restore Miyuverse Sakura's sanity to Miyu's Shirou can be with herAnd an extra chapter of the manga shows Sakura exists in the main timeline as well, so there are 2 options open for that Shirou: 1) Gay ending with Issei for gags2) He gets with Sakura tooIn the end we can't know until the manga ends
>>4314260And? The girls will still be interested in him even if he gets together with Sakura.
>>4314109The 20th best yuri manga right now.
>>4314225I love this type of yuri couple.
>>4314262He's not a serious threat if he gets with another girl. Meaning the Miyu/Illya ending can be possible. Of course, I won't bet on anything until it actually happens. I'm just saying the Shirou/Sakura and Illya/Miyu ending is a possibility
>>4314258Spy Classroom will be full yuri soon.
>>4314269What are the first 19?Also is saying it's not yuri a meme or something? Really confused
>>4314271This series screams status quo ending.Like I wouldn't be surprised if the final pages of the manga (if they are ever even released) are Illya dreaming about getting a good morning kiss from Shiro, only to it end up being Miyu, again.
>>4314109Its -33% het and 95 1/2% yuri. My dog works at japan.
>>4314109It's 1% yuri, 5% het (or bislut shenanigans) and 94% boring shit that isn't funny because they alaways need to remind you that you're reading a bislut fantasy.
>>4314271>>4314276They definitely won't get together now they are waifufag content, regardless they still want to be with the guy but there is the possibility they may one day give up and get together is anything but yuri.Though I have no idea how they are going to solve the current plot, Ilya is now thousands of years old and may not even return at all.
>>4314280>alawaysWhat is it with people that hate it and being ESL?
>>4314266>He still butthurt from yesterday
>>4314283The sad thing is that you can't discret the possibility it's the same guy spamming this everywhere
>>4314254I'd bet an anime announcement in the next 5 years top.
>>4314283Holy shit! Those comments are fucking based!
>>4314289It will air in the same season as>Adashima S2>Zenkowa>Seyuu Radio S2>Semi Friend>ShyAnd we will call it the Adashima Wars
>>4314297Cant wait for the Adashima season in 2030
Am I the only one who used to ship all 3 minami-ke sisters with each other interchangeably and at once?
>>4314283I was phoneposting but that don't mean that the manga isn't boring.
>>4314311lmao
>>4314079It's literally 'yuri bait: the series'.
>>4314318and their second attempt >>4314316 is technically wrong too
https://x.com/KodanshaManga/status/1848069987602145517Kodansha picked up A Curtain Call for YouBy Shiho Satou & Kiki Emoda.
>>4314335Why? Wasn't this axed?
>>4314335>>4314338Most likely>This series was just axed, it's just a few volumes and we can probably get the license for cheap
>>4314338From the timing of this announcement, the deal most likely happened before it got axed.
>>4314341So another Scarlet [/spoiler]and Chasing Spica[sooiler] situation.
>>4314339Kodansha owns Ichijinsha, so I doubt it's licensing cost reasons
>>4314347We had a SS employer explaining how their process works on /a/, he said the reason the yuri ecchi series were picked was because the licensing costs next to nothing compared to more popular stuff.
>>4314348The company that licensed the series, Kodansha, owns the company that publishes the series, Ichijinsha. They are paying themselves.
>>4314231The fuck are you 5? Say lesbian sex like a normal faggot
>>4314358>like a normal faggot
>>4314354Kodansha US is a subsidiarie anon, they don't own shit.
>>4314335>A Curtain Call for Youmore like a curtain fall for you
>>4314224she agreed to it, she told sendai to do itidk if youre joking, whats your angle with lying about that
>>4314109If your manga has more hetsex than yurisex in its first volume, its not yuri.
>>4314395Good thing it doesn't then.
>>4314392Miyagi is retarded, she can't legally consent
>>4314348>a SS employerHimmler?
>>4314400Indeed. It has zero yuri sex, and multiple references to het sex
>>4314415But it also has a jealous dumb bitch who's trying to steal her friend back, and yeah she has a bf but this would be a toxic relationship and wake up call to her that she may be gay
>>4314276>>4314282It might happen, the manga's enough integrity. The characters and their relationships are sincere.
Miyagi is a pain in the ass, but she's not retarded nor autistic.
>>4314425So she’s better than Adachi
>>4314425>but she's not retarded nor autistic.Retarded and autistic girls are great though
>>4314430>>4314432I was not trying to slander other girls.
>>4314432No.
>>4314430No one is better than Adachi.
>>4314425>not autisticI disagree
>>4314440She had normal friends
>>4313877>male fetishlike this? >>4314109
>>4314446Bislut fetish =/= male fetish. That manga is shit but it isn't a male fetish manga.
>>4314446As a matter of fact succumbus are in fact a male fetish, it was originally a jewish concept about demons who would seduce men in dreams, steal their semen and use it to impregnate other women, which I must add is exactly what I would expect of a jewish demon. But I digress, it was imported in japanese culture as a fetish. That said there is nothing wrong with it, your bislut hate is just annoying and no one cares, you were a virgin last time you said all this and you still are virgin.
>>4314451Succubus is by itself a fetish anon, no way around it, it's literally a sex demon.
>>4314452>hateIt's not hate just a fact. Yes I dislike both but they're differents things.>>4314454I don't think so, or at least not in anime/manga because they're not as common as others and in 2024 it seems that they're just standard demon girls (also Machikado Mazoku changed my perception about succubus even if they never said that Shamiko was one of them)
>>4314465Just because it's not as popular doesn't mean it's not a fetish Look at how few people like diapers, yet it's still a fetish
>>4314468We had diapers even in some yuri manga (and maybe anime? Idk because I always erase that shit from my mind ASAP) but I've never watched or read a story that treats them as seriously as other fetishes.
>>4314471It doesn't matter how serious they treat itIt's still a fetish
>>4314465>>4314468>>4314471>>4314474Succubus is a fetish, though of course and narrative can turn things around and make a non fetishist story about a fetish, though I would not say this is exactly the case with Machikado, the concept of Succubus there is very toned down sure, but Shamiko is still a very sexualized character, it's a joke sure, but it's also definitely to get the reader's attention and not wrong with it.
>>4314483The catch is that it's an isekai where a man dies in an accident or something and his soul is transferred to a princess in another world. I don't know why it couldn't be a woman who dies in an accident and has her soul transferred instead.
Why was AKB0048 not more popular?It was pretty much love live and madoka mixed and had amazing otps
>>4314496Love Live character design and character types are far more relatable to most audiences.
>>4314498Yurifags aren't most audiences
>>4314496It had a positive depiction of wotas as a group so I guess people find that too unrealistic.
>>4314496One of the girls had obvious het subtext. Also >>4314506
>>4314507>one of the girlsthe one that no one liked, would ship with anyone, and is a secondary characterthe rest had clear gay subtext, lets not kid ourselves here
more kemono yuri soon
>>4314507Out of all of the girls here, only the one to the far right had any romantic relationship with a male. The rest had no interest and only thought about each other and idolized each other in the gayest of waysI don't get how out of a cast of around 10, you decide it's het because one of the side characters liked a dude. It can have literal lesbian sex in it but as soon as some random character walks around, even just in the background holding hands with a guy it's hetWhat is going on with people these days? no common sense
Megu did nothing wrong
>>4314509>>4314513One is one too many. It's like having the best ice cream ever, but a rascal put a scoop of chocomint in it.
>>4314517Not in this case, she was kinda annoying so it's good to have her get the fuck away from the cute girls who deserve each other.Shit take when there's much better ships in the show that don't involve the most annoying character.
>>4314500Yurifags are not even 1% of idol anime audience
>>4314521What does that have to do with anything.If anything you're proving my point. I'm asking why the fuck yurifags aren't getting in on something with so much gay subtext.
>>4314522No, you literally asked why it wasn't more popular.
>>4314526I meant with yurifags. I have no interest in other audiences.
>>4314527I think one is an extension of the other, it wasn't popular, so it didn't catch the attention of most yurifags either, meanwhile absolute non yuri series will get a lot of shipping because they are just popular enough to get the attention of everyone
>>4314528That's surprising to me, you'd think yurifags would lock on to anything that could potentially turn out to be subtext considering most yuri series are only popular with yurifags anyway.
>>4314519Takamina was so cool...The best ship is her with Kanata though.
>>4314532Naturally, OTP
>>4314527NTA but the anime had better competition on that front. Natsuiro Kiseki had no het and some subtext and even Jormmungand was more interesting and a openly lesbian character but also it wasn't even close to Saki Achiga-hen if we talk only about the yuri. The second season had even bigger competition airing in the same season as Love Live, Yama no Susume, Vividred Operation and Doki Doki Precure, I think even fucking Tamako Market was more populat with the yuri fandom that season.
>>4314517What a fucking entitled brat mentality.
>>4314530I don't think so, I must have seen a thousand times some anon who didn't know some very well know series, people have so much time and the thing getting most attention will of course show up more often.
Do you have information about upcoming releases in the genre in 2025? I heard that Watanare is supposed to be filmed (by the way, has anyone read it yet? how do you rate this manga?) Are there any other film adaptations? Which manga would you like to film?
>>4314543Guess thats trueFor some of the anons who aren't as thirsty for it they probably wouldn't dig as deep
>>4314545I don't want to film anything, that's hard work with a very meager pay.
>>4314545>Bad girl (2025) anime>Tai Ari Deshita (we know it's still a thing, no date) anime>Watanare (2025) anime>Yuru Yuri S4 (probably 2025) anime>Ninja to Koroshiya (2025) anime>Mahoako S2 (probably not 2025) anime>A Monster Wants to eat me (2025) anime>Dragon Maid (2025) movie
>just finished thisWas the MC meant to be a m*le?why they wrote her like that?is it just me? I feel like something was lost in translation
>>4314560
>>4314561Some people believe only men can be depressive outcasts.
>>4314560The Venn diagram between ESL posters and retards is a circle.
>>4314536>Natsuiro Kiseki had no hetWrong. The green haired girl was het.
>>4314560Ummm, based???
>>4314579Where was her boyfriend?
>>4314643She had a thing for her cousin or some boy.
>>4314645Uh huh.
>>4313017Read Otherside Picnic.
>>4313329>>4313337That the spiritual successor lacks a lesbian goth loli dom is its greatest failing.More bisluts, but that just compounds the disappointment.
>>4314338>>4314339The author said on twitter that the story's ending in Volume 3 unless sales suddenly increase. Unless people really show up to buy the Japanese volumes it's staying axed. Like >>4314341 said the US localizers probably made the decision before the axe notice and it's still probably worth it for them to move forward with the localization.
>>4314676I can't speak for US publishers, but some publishers in my country specifically target short axed manga for licensing and sometimes release them as a box set first to fool casual customers into thinking it's intended to be that short and not give them the chance to realize it was axed.
>>4314560What made you think that? I guess the large height gap is not common for 2 girls the same age, but there was nothing in any of my rereads that ever made me think Shizuku was meant to be male. I guess it could be argued that the story wouldn't change a lot if she was male, but the same argument could also be made in reverse for other media like kimi no suizou wo tabetai or koe no katachi.

Please, someone had the link of Mieruko manga pv with the tentacle girl? It was full voice
>>4314542Closer to a 'pushing series with het subtext as yuri' mentality
>>4314719>>4314720Sugoi already said this was the series he was going to leak at the start of 2023 but got delayed because of production issues.
>>4314711Ueda Reina as Hinako.
>>4314722Guess Nanoha is not yuri because Amy existsOr Madoka given the whole plot with the violintardOr Symphogear because Fine.
>>4314723Can you solve all your production issues in a year
>>4314572That's not true, it's a donut, because not all retards are ESL.
>>4314733Depends on how severe they were and if they waited until when it was done or kept a strict deadline. If it really was delayed by a year and a half+, then it certainly bodes better than Sasakoi's three months.
>>4314733LycoReco says yes
>>4314732Symphogear does hint at romantic and sexual attraction between Hibiki and Miku, in Nanohas case you may have a point since a lot of post production material tried denying nanofate but it was another time
https://x.com/unicococ/status/1848337097956139394yunico...
>>4314738The point is that anon is bitching that a side character with het subtext means no yuri. So I listed shows that are seen as yuri even when side characters are het. Because it's the mains that matter and a single side character doesn't erase their relationship
>>4314739This is why you keep getting booted out of your projects
>>4314740No yuri means no yuri. The only attraction we see is from that girl and it was towards a male character.
>>4314739what's with the recent jk x older women boom
>>4314742Same I could say of the shows listedYuri subtext is still yuri, and a side character doesn't erase that
>>4314744>side characterShe's part of the main trio and it's the only explicit relationship the series has.
>>4314744NTA but theres subtext and """subtext"""
>>4314743Pysop from Yuri author getting old.they present older woman as attractive so that JK flock to them.We call that the Itou hachi maneuver
>>4314711We need Itou Miku.
>>4314748No we don't.
>>4314747Itou Hachi is literally a pedo, and her targets are 10 years old or younger children. Nothing to do with some dumb OLxJK.
>>4314751We actually do.
>>4314744Personally I think when you have a situation where you have an explicit heterosexual relationship in parallel, it really devalues any subtext and if it's a weak one it really makes you wonder if there is anything going on at all. But even this aside, it's really a bad look, it's not as if romance is out of the scope, it's just them thinking homosexual relationships are too dirty to be show.
>>4314745>>4314746Again, same can apply to the shows I listedStop the bullshitAlso answer me. what do you think of LycoReco?
>Miyagi and her silly orders
>>4314755Personally I think you're a paranoid retard and should then go scream at all the madokafags here. As long as they remain, your argument is worthless
>>4314756A show with explicit yaoi and no explicit yuri.
>>4314759It's funny how you always out yourself, majimatard. Thus devaluing anything you have to say
>>4314760I'm sure you must've called a dozen different people that by now.
>>4314761No. Just the same obvious retard obsssesed with denying yuri
>>4314761>a dozen different peopleMore like one person with 12 different IPs.
>>4314755>it's just them thinking homosexual relationships are too dirty to be show.It's good old homophobia.
>>4314766Which would apply to many subtexts considered classics hereThe double standards is disgusting

>>4314758Paranoid about what? I am literally saying to you looking at the parallel between subtext and explicit leaves a bad taste. Madoka's salvation by grace is the fact that Homura's obsession is too far unreasonable to be understood without love and this >>4314767Only you still didn't understand we have moved on from those even if we have nostalgia for them.
