Nanako-san from the Neighborhood - Vol. 3 Ch. 27 - Nanako-san and Shirokuma-sensei ③

[Dreamaker]

reread from the beginning, i dont see any flashback when they have first encounter right?

 

[abdullah17]

I would. It's the story of friendship between two women who try to live their life and support each other, nothing more. It's quite well done and heart warming.

People are disapointed because they read too much porn and hope that every story end with all character, who are even slightly friendly fucking with the MC even if they are in a relationship.

Ty, this might be my next read considering I'm sick of romance sol and I want a casual sol now.

You're assuming way too much. We just wanted yuri. Nothing more. Nothing less. Because yuri is great.

one small step

 

[FantasyMaster]

Wait...we're missing 2 chapters, no? Both MAL and Anilist list 29 chapters
And usually, they don't count the .5 ones

The MC has an unrequited love, tho... :/

It somewhat look like she is in love in a romantic way, but from everythings author wrote i think it's more that MC love Nanako in a "weird" way.
Her feeling look more of a mix of normal friendship and what a boy would feel toward a mother figure. I dont think i can explain it quite well, but it's quite common for people who lack a mother figure to developpe feeling that mix the two. And seeing how MC act i think it's this.
It would explain why she dont care about the husband but is sad at the idea of being separated.

Yuri dont only account for romance, platonic relationship between women are also considered Yuri.
Even if today people in the west try to change what Yuri is and only want to put romance and porn in it, that's not what the genre is nor was.
The genre was started by story about girls without anything lewd, it was even extremely rare to even see a kiss. And it was not rare because some weird hate on girl/girl relatioship, it was rare because the genre was made to be "cute" and to have character capable of loving each other without sexual attraction. The exact opposite of everythings you see elsewhere, where every relatioship start by sexual attraction and sometime developpe with normal feeling.

TL;DR, this manga fit perfectly in the Yuri genre.

I'm more confortable with your view than mine, but I think both views are valid interpretations of their "weird" relationship. Her want for physical intimacy and pampering could be because of a deep friendship mixed with maternal longing. The part that made me think that she wanted her in a more carnal or romantic way is the fact that she made erotic books inspired by Nanoko. But then again, she also made books inspired by her sister, so maybe it's just about market research.

I...ok...giving me a history lesson of the term yuri isn't gonna make me less dissatisfied with this ending. But whatever.

 

[Nothas]

Really funny how people straight up ignored the premise to say it's completely wholesome with nothing sexual about it.
My take is that there's a difference between appreciating someone's company and wanting to spend everyday of your life with them. 'Nuff said.

 

[spawnknight]

You know...if you look closely at Nanako's hand on the second to last page, you will notice that she isn't wearing her wedding ring. A mistake by the author or...?

 

[kaezeribato]

I never intended to make you "less dissatisfied"... I explained this because you said you wanted Yuri, but you dont want yuri, you want porn or at least fanservice.
If you wanted just a sweet relationship between two women you would have been satisfied with this story, since it's literaly just a sweet story between two women.

I hate you, this made me imagine it...

Again, a kiss or acknowledging romantic feelings isn't porn or fanservice you dumb prude. Its the essence of yuri, hell, romances in general. Get out of here with that nonsense.

 

[galaxia9]

That was some heart-warming fluff. Sometimes that's exactly what you need. Thanks for translating.

You must lack in brain capacity since not a single phrase i wrote say this. It also show how immature you are since you say that you need to say that you love someone to be in any kind of relationship.
That's not how it work. No mature adult go and say "i love you go out with me", actualy not many kid even do it...

Its the essence of yuri, hell, romances in general.

The essence of Yuri is female/female realy close relationship, not only love but realy close friendship.
And there is nothing wrong with not showing kiss and sex in a story. There is nothing prude with wanting a relationship not based on physical attraction...

What a degenerate generation... thinking that story need to show kiss and all, is quite immature. It does not add anything to a story as people kiss everyone for no reason today, it's the same with sex. Many story without any of these are more well constructed and tell you relationship of character way closer and more mature.

Ok buddy

 

[Wachtail]

Welp, after those 27 chapters, I still can't believe this ain't yuri.
Hell I even had hope when we saw her gyaru friend, until we learned she was also married.
All in all, however, this was a pretty damn cozy and wholesome SoL, and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for picking-up this manga again, and for your hardwork!

 

[Rheeve]

Watching the Yuri-shitters getting BTFO'd only makes this manga better.

 

[crimsondenmite]

Maybe the author will do an AU version where they get all kinds of naked together.

Keep the hope alive.. I doubt this series sold well..
