I really hope this doesn't go on for to much longer. I've never cared for the evidol stuff or the crossdressing and yuri that goes with it. Last time it did focus on it, I think I dropped this for around a year so I could just quickly skim through evidol shit and get to the parts I actually like. At least I got to enjoy reading a few dozen chapters of the good stuff I had saved up.
You do you, but Evidol (and events in general) are a part of the story that's for growing up side characters (e.g. like the concert did for Purson) and give them more screentime / spotlight.
They are essential to the story

The black and white snakes from the cover represent yin and yang from China. In other words, they're a reference to the yinyang symbol. Think of Jazz as the serpent of yin, and Azz as the serpent of yang.

Leaving aside the fact that the author of the lyrics will appear in my nightmares for a long time, the idea that yuri bait motivates to fight is a rather original message I must admit.
Yuri Bait implies the arc, where one of them clearly got confessed to and then was shown to not reject the notion of dating said woman, doesn't exist

or the last few chapters, where the two went on a god to honest date.

It's just a short arc to develop side characters, so it's probably the end of it for now. We will probably have another one down the line, but now we either return to the main story or we focus on someone else for 1-3 chapters.

Also having “cross-dressing and yuri” being seen as negative make me not care about this human’s opinion.
Reductio ad absurdum: ”Don’t add gay to this! Just make it about this one manly character getting more powerful. Full DBZ.”

If you took out all the side content, this would be a very sparse, thin story that made no sense. If you removed all the gender and orientation stuff going on, it would have a much smaller cast (I need Vine in my life. He is my spirit animal. Nebishy, socially awkward, queer and a sucker for a pretty face. Just flip the genders), and at best be worthy of a 4 koma.

"Girls ...?"

She opened Pandora's Box and hasn't decided if she regrets it yet.

Cute chapter; felt longer than most. I really can't see a relaxing song being the only one performed, so I hope it was at the end of her set.

While I won't be that harsh and say that this mini-arc sucked, I do want to say it's one of the weakest, IMO.

Even if Gyari seemed to be better than last time, I can't get 100% behind to care about her, and Keroli's "she's my rival/dear person" thingy doesn't help either...

Thanks, I read this manga. And no, it was basically an arc about how Gyari tried to force her to marry her, which she expectedly denied. Please don't force ship war on me against my will. My joke was about the punchline of this chapter, not some attempt to initiate another round of this shipping crap.

I'm not sure how complaining about one particular subplot implies a desire to remove all side characters and their arcs altogether. Not to mention that he never said anything about wanting to turn this into a battle shonen with manly characters. This is an obvious scarecrow. So you not only care about his comment, but you actually take things to the point of absurdity much more clearly than he does.

This is obvious. But many still have Vietnam flashbacks from last time, especially when it turned much of the discussion into toxic ship wars. Even now people are already trying to start this. In general, the problem is not so much with Kurumi or Gyari, but with the antagonism between their haters and simps. Iruma is one of those shonen manga where the audience is a mix of male and female due to the author's writing style, so it will always end up with the different audiences fighting at some points.

People out here trying to be armchair literary analysts while apparently unable to enjoy a story of people enjoying themselves.
People don't have to enjoy something they don't care about. Not to mention that the enjoyment of things and their analysis are connected only indirectly. It's like saying you can't analyze things if you don't like them. The same thing works in the opposite direction.

UPD. Offensive reaction. Yep, as expected from someone who decided to appear smarter than others and teach us how to enjoy things.
