Cute.

 

[Terrate]

What does "TS" mean in the Manga descritption?

 

[milleniumbug]

@Terrate TS is derived from "transsexual", in general it's how you refer to genderswap genre in japanese media. (see: TSF, "transsexual fiction")

 

[Kanami-chan]

wtf this isn't yuri

 

[Terrate]

@milleniumbug oohh Thank you : )

 

[Lilliwyt]

@Kanami-chan Well technically speaking yes it's yuri, he is transform into a girl. I can nitpick the TS considering the transformation is not definitive but maybe it will change later.

 

[Kanami-chan]

@Lilliwyt gender bender isn't yuri

 

[Lilliwyt]

@Kanami-chan It is as far i'm concerned, he has the body of a girl. You can say it's a transgirl but that's still be Yuri since it's two girls loving each other.

 

[Savarizki]

I have found perfection

 

[Babydel]

As far as I can tell he is a hetrosexual boy in a girls body, which isn't Yuri to me.

 

[Lilliwyt]

Well Pixiv tags on the source said Yuri so i do think the author know better. As far as i'm concerned the witch love the girl form not the boy one so it's Yuri.

 

[Keldin]

@Kanami-chan Well then you are lost!

 

[igenetycs]

It's not the girl's body that counts, it's the girl's mind. Therefore, genderswap is not yuri.

 

[Lilliwyt]

@igenetycs So by your logic two girls minds in two boys bodies is Yuri ? I hate myself for saying that because it sound stupid but it's the physical who count therefors it's Yuri not het and it have been Yaoi if Senpai was a boy and the Kouhai a girl genderswap into a boy.

 

[gamerpool]

It's not Yuri.

 

[igenetycs]

@Lilliwyt Yes, I'd consider that yuri. Of course, it's different if they start to feel like they are the gender they swapped to (e.g. Kanojo ni Naru Hi), but the typical "I'm a horny 30 year old man in a 16 year old girl's body" is absolutely not yuri.

Somewhat related, I'd consider relationships between two women where one or both are trans to also be yuri (e.g. Aerial Magic), though that is exceedingly rare in manga.

 

[Lilliwyt]

Anyway, the author tagged it as Yuri on the pixiv so it is. There no real further discussion to made.

This debate could easily be solved by distinguishing between Physical Yuri and Psychological Yuri.
Physical = Biological female or a post-op transsexual
Psychological = Female gender identity

So this is physical but not psychological yuri etc.
