Just a caution, this does have "girls' love" but only for the purpose of being used as a running gag. I am aware this series parodies many themes/clichés but for comparison, a supporting character's crush on a male teacher is at least acknowledged to still be love, just unrequited, but the jokes about yuri here tend to circle around the idea that "there's no such thing as real yuri".

I dunno, I feel like Kohime is carrying a low-key but pretty sincere torch for Luna. Just because some characters read too much manga and are invoking over-the-top stereotypes, and other characters are invoking the japanese cultural bias of "gay people aren't real, it's just girls practising/being really friendly" doesn't mean that it's endorsing the latter extreme conclusion any more than the former.

Though... if the thesis statement genuinely is about discounting queer relationships... then that is both troubling for the implications, and very queer-baity.
