Waiter, I got yaoi in my yuri manga!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, the ending makes it one of my personal favorites

 

[Hauberk1800]

Love their attempt to cheer even knowing they've decided they are just going to eat them later. Love this Lil series

Thanks for the tl

 

[Ichaivalrose]

That's good fucking angst right there god I love these two

 

[Jybu]

Huh, what an interesting way to transition such a depressingly fucked up tone of the last chapter into something so cute hehe

 

[Shiden]

You can't beat the monsters if you're "normal" because that sort of protagonist-like victory is "abnormal"

Is... probably about as reassuring as a monster can get.

Though the monster movies also tend to feature "normal" people who, after having their "normal" disrupted by a monster, end up defeating it, so what's "normal" anyway?

 

[Kitsune_115]

That last page lowkey romantic

 

[_hng_]

Is the doujin Tokyo Ghoul

 

[noobplant]

Huh was the one who wrote the yaoi story Takahashi (the human)?

 

[OnewingedMasios]

Huh was the one who wrote the yaoi story Takahashi (the human)?

I was thinking it likely is Hiraizumi based on how depressed she looks walking away likely showing a reminder which then pans to Takahashi cheering her up symbolically showing her safe space is with Takahashi who is starting to respond to that by coaxing her rather than repremanding her like she did previously when not being "normal" by basically telling her its okay to be scared and sad since that is a sign you're actually normal like you wanted.

Another clue is Takahashi is constantly so obsessed with being "perfectly unsuspectingly normal" she would not be likely to do something like hint towards her true state of being, where as if it is Hiraizumi it actually fits the theme of the manga that normality is simply a façade we all wear to hide things we fear being rejected.

That said it could be Takahashi based on the note of

[They] do not actually enjoy eating humans, doing so just takes away some of their pain for a little while

Which would be reflecting Takahashi doing this because she has to while Niehara just does it for the love of the game. It would fit the "no one would ever guess, but still feels more likely Hiraizumi based on what shown

 

[Prismatic-chan]

guys !!
GUYS !!!!
WE ARE SEEING DEVELOPMENT HERE!
DEVELOPMENT OF THE YURI KIND!!!

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

Slowly but surely, the monster draws nearer... the hunger will be sated soon, but in what way?

Anyways, handholding, nuke the whole optical nerve

 

[avoiceintheshadows]

That's a really interesting take on normality, actually. hm.

 

[beThereShortly]

Hand holding??? Fingers' locked?!? How indescent!
Thank you so much for the chapter. Knowing this is the final volume kinda puts a sour taste in the mouth after a chapter this good. I wish I could just forget it and partake in some mindless speculation about our cuckoos romantic prospects. But alas.

I wonder why almost every yuri has either a fujoshi character, a gay man, mlm side couple, or at least mentions yaoi, but you will never find a decent female character in a yaoi. Everything revolves around men

I think the presence of gay men in Yuri is probably because of how many authors are probably fujoshi/fudanshi as well. I read a lot more Yuri than Yaoi, but the ones I read are a lot shorter and focus mainly on the couple so there's barely anything for characters that aren't a side couple for a spinoff.
I do agree it's really easy to think of examples of terrible women in yaoi, but I don't think the opposite is nonexistent. Straight girl best friend or lesbian side character is really hard to find but not non-existent. I forget the name of it but a BL manga about childhood friends ended with them finding out their sisters started dating too. It is scraps but I'll enjoy it nonetheless. I gotta explore more comedic Danmei to see if the equivalent to the Yuri Knight I see pop up in Baihe exist.

What other yuri manga feature gay male character or MLM side couple?

 

[Luke_chase]

Hmm, I wonder if the official tl will surpass the fan tl at this point

 

[ryejimyparents]

What other yuri manga feature gay male character or MLM side couple?

Even tho I only started reading/watching yuri abt 2 months ago but I can name some
Revolutionary girl utena
Cosmic princesse kaguya
Netsuzou trap
Tamen de gushi
Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl
Love DNA XX (instead of giving the couple a proper ending they made 2 extra chapters of them as a mlm couple)
There's more in baihe but I'm too lazy to find their names in my notes

Also, I only named the ones with mlm couple there's TONS of yuri with queer men/mentioned queer men

More specifically, it's male-centeredness and misogyny. You'll hear people say they want more queer representation in media, and the moment they get a new bl show or MLM ship, they stop complaining. Even some lesbians say they prefer reading yaoi over yuri.
And now that more people are discussing this problem, they've started coming up with excuses like: "Women are poorly written," "Yuri is targeted at men," or "I only read yaoi because it has a better story." Most of the time, it's about two privileged white men sexually assaulting each other and catching feelings on a random Tuesday.
