Oshi to no Yuri wa Arienai! - Ch. 6.1 - Public Apology from the Author and the Editor (Twitter Extra)

[Coldlight]

Did the mangaka just drop an elaborate shitpost on us? The wackiness is leaking even outside the bounds of the story itself. Props for the commitment. I'm not even mad about being called "middle-aged"

Anyway, Kanae-sensei is truly at the bottom of the power rankings in this entire thing, not that I'm complaining. Nice one, sensei.

Damn even the author’s apology letter feels like eating spoiled mushrooms.

What the fuck?

Firstly, yeah, the apology letter is a joke. It's intended to be over-the-top for a nothing situation. This is in the style of a pretty well-known apology in Japanese media, but that's niche and would take too long to explain, so I won't bother with that. The original panel is real, although it's since been deleted from the internet. The apology letter and image of Kana has, similarly, been deleted from the internet. Which makes this upload possibly the only version of this available online in any language.

And to give a bit more context, the idea of "a yuri manga" tends to have connotations of purity to it, and seeing a protagonist suddenly pull such a strange face in a yuri manga might be jarring. But the editor is essentially suggesting (in my opinion) that the readers are expecting a gag manga, the yuri part being secondary.

When I see a yuri tag, I expect yuri to be first and everything else secondary…

Apologies for making peak 😤

So was the original panel a Gundam reference? I was confused as to the subject of the meeting. I'm not sure if editors/others were saying "yes do a Gundam reference" or "no, Gundam reference bad".

First thoughts were "... the hell?", second thoughts were "more apologies if we get sensei in stripperific outfits".

I think the last part about "if more complaints come, we'll have to draw an old lady or a little girl in an outfit like that" is a threat.

yo so this weed's really good

 

[Krune]

thank you for the epic apology letter.

on the living room,on the bed room, on the fridge, on the closet, on the ceiling, on the walls on the bathroom on the couch on the car and on the street-

Incredible. I feel a certain kinship with the magaka here.

I'M NOT MIDDLE-AGED !!!

I am.

 

[luigiymario2]

Author-san really likes trolling and shitposting, huh? xD
As for the sexy apology illustration, I'm sold! Also, I would've been fine with either manga panel, they both look funny to me!

 

[cemmou]

As a middle-aged-teen-girl, I was unfamiliar with sensei's game

 

[Castane]

I'm willing to believe there's overlapping between gundam fans and fans of abusive yuri
BUT, those are covered almost exclusively by Witch of Mercury fans which notoriously don't care too much about classic Gundam references. so there's that

 

[Elandriel]

This is peak though. God damn.

 

[dOmOlz]

I know this isn't a pure manga, but it isn't one of those toxic "put out a cigarette on her tongue and kiss her" types. It's more like special ed lesbians verging on the low functioning side of the autism spectrum.

With some help, I was able to confirm that the original panel is referencing a Gundam series I haven't seen. It's parodying this frame from 1991's Mobile Suit Gundam 0083:

Tsukamoto does, indeed, have a Burning Heart, but I don't know if she's The Winner.

...Damn I'm old.
