You're free to think that but let's try a different perspective. Why do you think it's a bait in the first place? I hate yuribait but I'm totally fine with this. To me, they're more genuine and healthier than... idk Yuri Is My Job? Hibike? etc.
its overused as a joke, and as a joke its already iffy to start with in my book, i guess it would be different if they outright said theyre bi, they dont even have to confess to each other, but just come out as bi (although one can infer that they like each other that way, i just like having clarification)

ive just been around lesbians all my life basically, so the oversexualization (or using it as a joke) of girl on girl does nothing for me, and it bothers me, since ive seen really good friends struggle with it, its not all roses for someone coming out when i was a teenager



btw i concur with you on those series that are actually yuri bait, i despise them, and anything thats on Hibike's caliber i just drop.
thank you for the civil response too, normally when i say something of the sort, a lot of fandoms feel offended and attack me... its something i usually keep to myself... but sometimes i get that itch to comment

Something I really enjoy about this series is how it gives focus to all characters.
I mean, it took me a minute to realize that Rentarou didn't even appear in this chapter, and it gave other characters the focus.
I'll always enjoy seeing more Rentarou, but what I really enjoy is seeing character development from everyone.
He prob was there in the Cinema(there are a few black haired people there), he would not miss a chance of seeing they having fun together.

Yeah, it's easy to just attack people online for different opinions. I'm trying to avoid that myself at all costs.

I'm very familiar with this topic because my family is very open to the idea of, well, gender and sexuality. My sis is a lesbian, my uncle is gay. But when it comes to fiction, I always feel like taking a step back and analyzing it from narrative stand point is good. 100Kano at its core is a gag-romance-comedy-harem so I don't feel like full-on yuri is something that's needed. But, I can see it happening. And when it does, I'll be celebrating. But if it does not, I as a reader still know full well that they're still a very loving family.

In fact, that yuri being such a strong component in Rentaro family foundation and its possibility being seriously discussed make me appreciate this series even more. This is the pinnacle of harem what can I say?

That went longer than I'd intended to, but to put it simply, 100Kano is a gag-harem series but it wouldn't be weird whether Hakari and Karane come out or not. It doesn't feel like bait that much because, in my mind, the theme is made clear from the very start and they're not selling it as yuri/yuri-undertone. <- I hate it when original yuri anime do this and pull the rug out with left-to-interpretation ending.

I´ve never expected for Nemu to be paired in this chapter with Rin, good for them
On the other hand, Hakarane being a couple is not a surprise lol

somehow there wasn't a single mention of Rentarou this chapter, I wonder what he was up to
also doesn't this mean Hyakkano now passes that one test that media has about having female characters interacting without mentioning male characters? too lazy to look up the name, but yall know what I mean
The Bechdel test?

I expected the double date, and the hand holding. But I thought a kiss might be expecting too much, I'm so glad I was wrong.

Do you tell people you are straight? Why do people have to announce their bi?

At this point it’s missing the Girl’s Love tag. The yuri vibes are strong between the girls.. it’s officially the 100 girlfriends that really really really love each other… and Rentarou.
Is it really GL if the girls are brought together by one apex of a man?
