@NightmareWeeb It is interesting. The author herself uploaded illustrations from this manga with the tag "original yuri" to her pixiv, so I'm wondering why the tag was removed. And the ebook seems to agree too https://ebookjapan.yahoo.co.jp/books/585828/A002362848/.
@MoonlightwolfchanX Lol man, you were so worried as if removing the tag temporarily might change their sexuality. This is not a CGDCT, where tags are often depends to subjective reading.
@SuperOniichan "So worried"? No not at all really. I was mostly just joking around that the tag was gone and returned since I know Oshima Towa herself refers to this series as yuri.
@MoonlightwolfchanX Joking, yeah. If you yourself know that the author is not subtle about it, exist tag or not, it won't change anything. It's as if people care more about whether this is considered a "real" yuri than the title itself.
@NinjaGoemon This is called a lesbian relationship. When people use the word yuri as a substitute for "lesbian" it looks creepy fetishized.
@MoonlightwolfchanX This would make sense if the yuri fandom weren't made up of people with permanently wearing yuri goggles who see the open or subtext-ish yuri in any title with female protagonists, lol. I don't think they really need any tag to find what they think is yuri or will be good for yuri shipping.
You think I'm fetishing? It's a WLW relationship in a manga. That's what yuri is. The reason I referred to it as such is because aquarium dates are fairly common in yuri.
@NinjaGoemon This trope is common in romance in general, do you generally read a lot of romance besides yuri? Rentai Kanojo, 3D Kanojo, the first thing that comes to mind. You confuse aesthetics and fetishes. Yuri like Bloom into you or Sasameki Koto are fetish stories for you too?
Why the heck do you keep calling it a fetish? It's a romance. It's just the name of a genre of romance literature so it makes it easier to fine. Why do you think one of the largest publications is titled "Yurihime"?
@NinjaGoemon I call this fetish because you use the lesbian fiction's term as a substitute for lesbian. This is how you feteshize the genre, not me. Yuri hime refers to girls who like shoujo yuri, not lesbians or that magazine audience are mostly lesbians. Or are you saying that yuri ota or yuri danshi means lesbian otaku and lesbian boys, lol?
