I will make the argument that this deserves the GL tag.

Are oneshots good because they don't have to trickle out the plot to keep people engaged? I feel like I haven't read a bad one.

I feel similarly. Oneshots are designed to tell a (mostly) complete story with intentional endings (perhaps open-ended if they're fishing for a serialization) and consequently authors tend not to introduce adulterating factors like side characters or plot threads. There's probably a lot of literature about the pros/cons of short-form storytelling that could explain it in better detail, but I'm no fuzzy

Reading older one shots/anthologies/limited series is a great way to freshen up a stale read list

One shots are also a great way to play around with more abstract or experimental art, like the author does here with the MC's POV panels.

After checking out Drama Queen and this, I gotta admit I love how the author draws their MC girls. So expressive and funny

 

[SUPER7X]

This was good. Want their other oneshots translated too to know if they have a good hitrate so I can better predict how Drama Queen will go.

Well, your arguement was accepted by someone.

So they did.

Holy hell, the en face drawings on page 12 & 16 are so creepy. Really cool one-shot, thanks for the TL

Huh, I thought the art style felt familiar. To think it really was the same author...

 

[Lex_bejinx]

Love this one. The characterization of MC when its being spiteful and pathetic from the drawing to the psychological aspect is really well done.

 

[LemonsofLiberty]

Another win for the straightchads, even when we're druggy gambling comedians lesbians just can't compete smdh

that was such a bullshit ending. this definitely isn't GL lmao. stop just putting that tag anywhere just cuz there were two women involved and one had unrequited love that went nowhere.

Agrees there is in fact girl's love in the work, argues against the tag anyway

maybe keep your arrogance to yourself. you straight men are annoying af istg.

 

[bahamutmybitch]

bullshit ending. get the ordinary life theme, but you can't just introduce heavy topics AND get a copout ending. Whatever, one-shots are always a 50/50 anyways.

This is why having a Yuri theme tag separate from the GL genre tag would be so useful.
