Sounds like a feminist dream.

What is this genderbender Roronoa Zoro doujinshi?

Chapter 11 was grabbed from Dynasty, although the last two chapters could use some better scans.

I haven't and won't read this, but I have to say it seems unlikely that if all men died the first thing women would do is create an identical system of power imbalance.

 

[BirchJuice]

@DarkLordAlfie: And why is this?

 

[DarkLordAlfie]

@BirchJuice Becuase that's a ludicrous idea, and also not how female groups tend to structure themselves (whether from social conditioning or inherent genetic traits). Also women have historically suffered under a binary gender organized society and wouldn't have great reasons to want to subject themselves or other women to such a system again.

To DarkLordAlfie (@ intentionally omitted since I want to see if he patrols this comment section)
"I haven't and won't read this" yet you decide to take your time to preach your asinine beliefs. Go back to whining about those "alt-right" bullies on r/feminism or something, mate.

To everyone else: that edgy username should tell you a lot about him

4 boobs on the cover hooked me in.

@zawarudo: On the edgy username, I think you're completely mistaken. To the contrary, it appears to me to be a joke, an example of bathos--the "edgy", ominous "DarkLord" combined with the somewhat humorous, working-class-bloke nickname "Alfie" which clearly doesn't fit in with Dark Lord status, pokes fun at the exact sort of people you are dissing.
As to the politics . . . certainly, reacting to the loss of men by creating the whole thing all over again and just sort of "pretending" they're still there to perpetuate the roles would be a pretty dysfunctional thing to do, so DarkLordAlfie's certainly not wrong there. And I think the description is quite enough to make such a judgement--it's concise and informative, and that's what descriptions are for, to allow you to make some kind of judgement before actually reading something.
As to the weird social system, yes it would be dysfunctional, but I can imagine the Japanese doing it anyway. And a fair amount of the manga is precisely about finding this system to be oppressive and rebelling against it. For a while I thought they were actually going to get into doing some kind of revolution against the system, both of pseudo-male-female and some other kinds of privilege. It all kind of evaporated into fluff by the end--dunno if it was soft-axed or the mangaka just realized she'd bitten off more than she could chew and anyway the deeper stuff wouldn't be popular. Overall I quite liked it, both the silly and less silly aspects--I went in with few expectations and found something that at least flirted with being rather more than I'd bargained for, even if it never really consummated those aspirations.

Not bad, but there was too little smut and hentai.

 

[monstergelo]

the fucc, the author make contrived setting to make double gay?

 

[Helgi_Ingrem]

The most yaoish yuri i've ever seen

 

[Juoreg]

It’s like a yuri being forced to turn yaoi.

Still a pretty unique story for a 2009 yuri manga.

 

[zips]

making a yaoi manga with girls is some next level shit

 

[Jet]

I hoped, that some last guy would mysteriously resurface and hide among them. Shame, there is nothing of the sort in this story.

 

[Yuuri]

iirc when this was posted to dynasty scans I read in the comments that this was made by two repressed bi fujos who wanted to be gay guys real bad lol

 

[KochengOren]

My honest review:
The premise of the story is fairly good, but the conclusion is not.

Spoiler

1) To abolish "gender" role in the society was Aoi's struggle and goal. Towards the last chapters (16 & 17), it becomes less and less important. Eventually, it's not Aoi's struggle/problem anymore, because Sumire (Sakura's nee-sama) handle it all, especially when she will become a PM. So the MC lost it's purpose. It really feels like the ending was rushed.
2) The importance of "gender" role was explained fairly in the early chapters. Yet once again, in the last two chapters, it's deemed not important at all. It's a blatant contradiction.

Actually, the gender role in society, in the real life is quite important. Basically, one role as provider, one role as rearer/management. Both are equally important. Just see how much struggle a single parent must going through.
Those roles are just like right & left feet. With only one, or both right or vice versa, it's called "cripple".
In modern society, if a woman chose to be a provider, then the man will do the rearing; though it will go against the nature. It doesn't works if both become provider or both are rearing. It will become a time bomb in a family.
Also, without a good balance (50-50 or 60-40) in gender roles, it will only lead to another chaos, or at least a set back to few centuries earlier where wars and polygamy are rampant.
To everyone who will doubt my comments, please keep in mind, in every family there are three main problems:
1) money
2) dignity/honor (either personal or family)
3) the third party (cheating, friends, hobby, bad management of time, etc.)

Beautiful art and interesting premise! Ending is a bit rushed but still a quick and entertaining read.

 

[Zennofska]

Not bad but way too rushed.
