Shibou Yuugi de Meshi wo Kuu. - Vol. 3 Ch. 19

I mean,if the BFF was butt naked in the cake and over half of the icing was on the BFF,then sure,one could say there's a very slight inkling of affection,especially if they wake up hung over with clothes everywhere but on their bodies,before finding the VHS tape of the whole shebang.

Anything less is purely platonic casual sex,as the wise scholars have posted.

No, she actually just gave her a piece of cake with a candle. But lol, we live in a timeline where people call BL-bait anime, where the main conflict is based on two men loving the same woman, so...

Fair enough. It just felt abrupt/out of nowhere, because the whole time when she was carrying the legless player there were no hints of Yuki developing this kind of personality. Perhaps this is ye olde adaptation pacing issue and the LN had some extra scenes to smoothen out her turns.

You're not the only one who didn't notice this. Because simply showing arrogance and suddenly turning into the fucking Joker are two different things, hahaha. However, a lot depends on how things develop. Perhaps the manga really does represent things poorly.

 

[Professor_Az]

Why did it suddenly get psychological in this thread.

 

[SuperOniichan]

Because the MC acted out of character in psychological manga without any (obvious) foreshadowing. It's simple.

Damn,retardation is being poured out in spades.

And there's definitly a few three line sentences that might've elaborated upon her feelings at the time that were cut out.

Are you about manga probably distorts the more intelligible text of the LN?

Less distort,more of the original author,the comic artist,and quite probably the editor trying to decide which lines to not include from the novel,which most likely ended with them deciding that a(of many)three line sentence describing her emotions could be cut out since they can just use a few words and facial expressions to get it accross,not realising the amount they've cut results in sharper changes.

As others have said,there were hints of it,but without the explanation for the psychological state she's encountered at this moment,it appears more abrupt.

Are you guessing, or have you read the original? I'm just used to manga adaptations expanding on the events out of a need to provide more content.

Most text to comic adaptations cut out a lot(they rarely actually expand,or even add new content),and things get cut further when an animated adaptation occurs,what takes three sentences to explain either gets explained visually or never gets explained.

Well, the manga adaptation of Youjo Senki does expand the story considerably, and even the author seems to have acknowledged it. But the problem seems to be that the original YS was rather dry.

That's probably why.

There's also the teen-fication of stories,like how the original novel and comic versions of GATE are a lot more brutallay graphic then the animated adaptation,and I assume the same is coming for the Navy sequel.

Well, the anime will probably be a direct adaptation of LN, so it will be interesting to see if they can add anything with enough effort.

Yup,it's gonna be great.

 

[kucchi-desu]

nice maybe this is the start of her development but her wanting the leader not to die is a little red flag LOL

 

[Rena_Andou]

Ohhh....our daughter is growing slowly but surely hasn't she?
She begin to have more
Emotions, and she's behaving like a REAL GIRLBOSS HERE, ASSERTING DOMINANCE, singlehandedly saving everyone, and humiliating that foolish princess...
Also she's kind of becoming scary like she has some kind of underlying psycho vibe (a bit like Karma from Plaything, when they act "normal" but obviously aren't normal)....
(Well in fact she do is a psycho considering the descriptions and confirmation from the author in the LN original material, and here it's thrilling me to see her in action)
I'm curious to see how Yuki will end up at the very end of her journey to the top

 

[Rena_Andou]

Why is her personality suddenly a 180 from cold quiet and calculating to full of emotion, loud and whimsical

Well she's a bit different in the LN but i agree that this chapter's Yuki has much more ego, and actually is playful enough to literally play around, asserting dominance.
I like her better than way than just a flat behaved, neutral faced Kiyotaka Ayanokoji in female version.
She's a real psycho aswell, and this better show!

 

[Rena_Andou]

He's right.
I have read the LN until vol 4 and i confirm.

So, this isn't really yuri or a sudden character change, but rather a less-than-accurate character development from the original LN?

 

[StarLilly]

Judging by the cover of volume 5, we'll be moving pretty slowly if this is indeed just one arc. If I remember correctly, the anime premieres next month. And even if I don't see Mashiro among the announced cast yet, I doubt the adaptation will be limited to just the first couple of arcs. So it looks like the translation will only be 3 or 4 weeks ahead.

But either way, if you're really that hyped up about the yuri potential in the first place, I'm not sure you'll get what you want. At least not with this pairing.

The anime's adapting the Light Novel which is much further along so I would imagine the anime will be passing the manga. After this game is over the manga will have covered up to the first half of Volume 2 of the Light Novel.

I think a lot also depends on the speed of the fan translation. Or do you mean that raws themselves haven't gotten that far?
