since when GL is friendship between women??? are ALL friendships in straight romance Girls Love too???
Oh no. Not this discussion again.
Japanese publishers are REALLY careful with putting the GL tag on a work, because (at least at the beginning) they wanna get as much of an audience as possible. GL overall is actually kind of niche.
But let's go over it ¿What are the requirements for the GL tag here in MangaDex?
1- A girl explicitly harbors romantic feelings/sexual attraction for someone of the same sex.
That's it really. Reciprocity it's not even a requirement. But it's true that the actual publishers would avoid classifying it as GL if that relationship is not the main focus.
In this manga, it is.
In my original comment I didn't even say that they ended as "just friends". Saying that would disregard the whole development of the manga. Just no lovers quite yet, because again, it got axed.
Following that same logic, no. Not all girls' friendships in manga can be classified as GL. Just as in real life not every girl is gay for each other.
I understand that you might be salty with this ending. I was too. But you can't throw all the nuances out the window just because. The world is not black and white.
