Hate to say it since I bookmarked this ages ago but I’m getting heavy “will never be more than subtext” vibes from this series. There are those who will fight you on whether subtext counts for the GL tag, but personally I feel like with the large amount of actual yuri romance we get these days something like this feels rather quaint.Am I the only one who feels the GL tag is misleading? Cause so far it feels like just heavy subtext from usual cute girls doing cute things that will get nowhere
It doesn't help that the mangaka never did any yuri either, unless they have some Twitter/ pixiv stuff that is Yuri that is
Yeah hate when someone tags subextet as GL, it doesn't help that besides a possible few doujin the mangaka seemingly never did much of yuri at all either, if the doujins are yuri that is, hard to say since not translated but at least one I'm pretty sure it isHate to say it since I bookmarked this ages ago but I’m getting heavy “will never be more than subtext” vibes from this series.

It’s quite literally tagged Yuri on Comic-Walker, one of the official raw sites.Yeah hate when someone tags subextet as GL, it doesn't help that besides a possible few doujin the mangaka seemingly never did much of yuri at all either, if the doujins are yuri that is, hard to say since not translated but at least one I'm pretty sure it is
This reminds me of Liar Satsuki Can See Death, it was tagged as GL for a long time cause people assumed it was but never went past subtext, hell, for some perspective? Fucking Dynasty Scans only use subtext tag for this one lol
I feel someone really gotta review those tags cause unless they have like spoilers from a hundred chapters in the future where they actually get together then GL probably should be removed

True, 50 chapters later and Im still getting heavy vibes similar to other mangas with misleading gl tags where nothing actually happensHate to say it since I bookmarked this ages ago but I’m getting heavy “will never be more than subtext” vibes from this series.

Oh for the love of Sappho. Just because the two main characters don’t kiss or date or fist each other on panel it isn’t yuri? She literally collapsed from joy because Rin hugged her through a mascot uniform. That’s text, not subtext. The whole series is literally how much happiness these two women bring to each other’s lives just by existing and you don’t think it counts as yuri because there isn’t some kind of culmination?Am I the only one who feels the GL tag is misleading?

I'm 100% sure your keyboard was on flames while you were writing this. Holy.Oh for the love of Sappho.

If this were a hetero or yaoi couple no one would bat an eyelid, but apparently yuri has to have higher standards to count. The irony is that yuri detractors and yuri lovers BOTH suffer from the “they could just be really close friends” disease. Just let me enjoy my Lesbian™️ fluff dangit! 😤I'm 100% sure your keyboard was on flames while you were writing this. Holy.
Imma put this comment on my wall and treasure it forever
That doesn't mean much unfortunately, some places and people in Japan call yuri even something where girls are extremely close, it's not without reason that yuri mangakas over time started to call their work Girl's Love insteadIt’s quite literally tagged Yuri on Comic-Walker, one of the official raw sites.
I totally get what you mean.
However, the GL tag is there (Most likely, i just got here x'D i didn't edit the info) 'cause the manga is tagged as such in Bookwalker and Ebook Japan. Bookwalker even used the manga as the poster child for a "Yuri discounts" sale
SPOILER:
Not all volumes are tagged as Yuri. Only volume 4 and 5 have that tag, with a moment at the end of volume 5 that, I personally think, makes clear that they have a thing for each other. But yeah, as you say, everything feels more "subtext" than "yuri" for the most part. Also, i haven't read volume 6 (the newest one), but it does not have the "Yuri" tag
I think the chapters are on pixiv too, think they're at like 150 already, wanna bet nothing happened yet? LolTrue, 50 chapters later and Im still getting heavy vibes similar to other mangas with misleading gl tags where nothing actually happensits unbearable

What you said would have a lot more weight if not for the countless extremely gay mangas that get nowhere and the girls end as nothing but friends, you're fine with vagueness, ambiguity and open ending? Good for you, some of us prefer actual resolutions instead of having to imagine what is happeningIf this were a hetero or yaoi couple no one would bat an eyelid, but apparently yuri has to have higher standards to count.
