When are we going to get muscular Haruki translated ;_;
>>2010381
Does Kuroko fuck the huge scarred lady?
>>2010442
I'm kinda expecting that muscular woman to be a ladykiller too and more a bro to Kuroko than fuckbuddy, or want her to be all shy about that issue.
But if indeed Kuroko managed to score that well it will just tell us she will screw anything with vagina, lolies, girls, women, milfs, slim, fat or muscular ones, she doesn't judge.
>>2010451
She's a big girl. Would Kuroko survive snu snu?
>>2010452
Maybe Kuroko only rule is to not fuck women taller than her?

I haven't ordered V7 yet, was that poster was a limited-time bonus or can I still get it?
Is it just me or is this board getting a bit faster and /a/ slower?
>>2010466
No idea
I think it might come with the latest YG issue and not the volume,
check the author's twitter for more info about that stuff and also wait for the page that lists all the bonus stuff to be up
Ahh, Shoujo...
>>2010468
This board will likely go even faster then, once the new season rears up. But that's good, isn't it?
>>2010475
Maybe if it could keep the board etiquette of old but that seems to be getting put on the way side due to spite.
>>2010473
>"Oh, so I'm a lesbian"
Of course that has to be a scene from something het as fuck. Goddamnit.
>>2010475
The new season has nothing substantial
>>2010458
I would actually like musclegirl to dominate Kuroko. I know it would never happen, but Kuroko being wary of her would be nice. At the very least, I hope so doesn't die.
>>2010473
>that kiss
Sei flashbacks. She even sort of looks like her too.
>>2010461
>Not really. Kuroko is willing to wait for them to grow a few years before going in
Kuroko only backed off Rinko because she is conditioning her to become a small version of herself.

>>2010838
Girls having sex with girls and still crave the D are not yuri.
>>2010888
While I don't personally want to watch/read such series, your claim is seriously stupid. Girl having sex with girl is yuri, regardless if they both crave the D. This is indisputable.
Not to mention one of the girl in question actually crave the V. How is this any different from a NTR series where a lesbian stealing a straight girl from a dude?
Not liking a certain topic is fine, but at least stop trying to sound like a retard.
>>2010891
Not him, but you extrapolated a lot from that one sentence.
>>2010807
>>2010888
The Yuri is canon (but one-sided). And the Yuri character does not crave the D to this current point of the story. The whole thing is one-sided, because she is a lesbian going after a straight girl. Things may change (for better or worse), but that's for the future. If you don't know what you are talking, best shut up next time.

I've shipped these from the get-go.
I'm in the mood to marathon an anime with some yuri-ness in it, but I'm not sure what. (It feels like I've re-watched most of them a ton already). I also don't know if I should go with something with a bit of action, or a sol...
Any recommendation of what classic (or non-classic) I should watch?
Is it close to the anniversary of any anime, or perhaps close to a birthday of a character from one of the series (figure maybe that's a good a way to decide as any)...
>>2011140
>in the mood to marathon an anime
On the subject of anime: I just read on a site with yuri anime recommendations about a show called Figure 17. I've never heard of it before, but it apparently aired back in 2000-2001. Anyone watch it, and would you recommend it?
>>2011140
- Mai-Hime for action and that ost eargasm
- Aoi Hana for drama and that sweet ending
- Hidamari Scetch but you need a really wide screen.
- Candy Boy for the insert songs alone but you also get lesbians i mean sisters
- Canaan because Maria is cute
>>2011150
I recommend it. It's pretty decent sci-fi about a loli and the alien sentient weapon/girl thing which she develops a fairly intense yuri-ish relationship with.
It's fun, has cgdct and cute-girls-kicking-ass in equal measure, and abittersweet/sadending.
It's been over CA decade since I last watched it though. I really should do it again.
Hajimemashite, yurifag-samas, I'm trying to remember the name of this one one-shot.

>>2011787
My OT3 butthurt aside, season 2 just isn't as good as season 1. The music isn't as good, the plot is sprawling and separates the girls from interacting nearly as much as they rightfully should and it comes to a rather lacklustre climax. I don't regret watching it, but season 1 is better.Except for the kiss I guess.
>>2011765
The second season was worse because of Yurikano and her triangle with the big bros, which was annoying and took up loads of screen time. That's all.
Well and there was that one scene early on when Madoka says that one thing that left some people butthurt forever.

That was more entertaining than anything I've ever seen McDonald's do. Its almost like they could make a slice of life series about those girls.
Another yuri pairing has been revealed. (I'd like to see a spin-off show about these two).
>>2012144
I'd like to see a PSO2 that doesn't get ruined by getting connected to this shitty anime.God, I'm so mad.
First OVA of Queen's Blade: Grimoire has been subbed recently. Didn't see anyone mention it here, so thought to give a heads up. Now I have not seen it myself yet, but considering the past yuri tease this series has had, I think it's safe to assume they have that here as well.
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=793334
>>2011787
>both seasons were great
>Season 2 was great
How?
The second season was awful. Storylines were picked up, dropped, dropped and/or resolved or forgotten at FTL speed.
The planetary collision conflict was resolved much too quickly making you wonder why they built it up in the first place.
Guy with eyes closed was revealed to be important but that was never elaborated on.
Lan's Brother became extremely mad for no reason and little build up.
And in the background was the mystical all powerful lagrange flower which was never fully explained or explored.
I'll give it a 10 for yuri but I'd recommend everyone just watch the highlights and forget the rest of the series.
Recently i've been watching haikyuu, and it actually has some yuri subtext in it. It's surprising, I didn't think I would find any.
>>2012255
Can you give an example? I might pick it up (not just for the subtext of course).
>>2012271
There's very little in season 1, only happens in 1 episode.
The girls volleyball club seems pretty close, if you know what I mean. You could say it's pretty obvious 1 or 2 of the members have a thing for her.
In season 2 the new assistant manager seems pretty gay for her senpai. She say's she's sexy and gets very flustered. Even so the episodes mostly focus on games and practice and not interactions as much, though they are an important part when they happen.
Got a small question; I'm planning to finally watch the series I've missed (ie. all of them), so I'm going to find them of nyaa but some of them have been subbed by different groups.
Is there like a ranking of sub groups, from best to worst?
>>2012294
Not universal. I'd download what BakaBT has selected, they usually put the best release up.
>>2012294
Not really, simulcasting has devastated the fansubbing scene for better or worse. It's usually a safe bet to go with HorribleSubs (no BD quality though) as they are the least likely to troll, meme or overlocalize their stuff since they just rip and don't do anything else. As a general rule if they ripped from Crunchyroll the subtitles are better, but if it's from Funimation (logo in the beginning) both the video and subtitle quality will be subpar. Basically, if you don't care about stuff like tsundere being translated as bipolar, just go with the highest seeded BD release, otherwise HS.
>>2012294
You can just take raws from nyaa and subs from http://subs.com.ru/ Yes, it's a slav site but they do have English sub for everything, from multiple groups. Stay away from Commie and you'll be fine, more or less.
Anyone translating the Harmony movie?

Nope, they're big things like characterisation, story writing and world building.
There's no quality to be removed because season 2 has as much quality as a shiny turd sandwich. Actually I would argue that the idiot director and the writers did their damn best to drag the quality down to the 9th level of hell.
>>2012315
I'm not directing this just against Mugino. The general public should be well-advised to not waste their time on Lagrange S2.

Guys I'm slowly losing hope in yuri.
Nothing good as far as anime for 2 seasons straight.
Nobody bothering to translate even the most popular currently published yuri manga like Citrus or Bloom into you, not to mention the smaller stuff. All that gets translated are forever repeating doujins of Madoka, Love Live etc.
When something finally gets translated it takes months between releases and we are behind multiple chapters.

These are both getting official translations as well as amateur translations, though YP seems to be taking longer and longer with Citrus lately. Lurk more, anonfriend.And learn Japanese.
>>2012400
YP doesn't work on Citrus because "no scans".
>>2012124
I have both downloaded as well and find season 2 much more twee and samey. I'm willing to chalk it up to tastes differing.
>>2012397
What you've just described is merely the default state of the yuri fandom. The output fluctuates and these last 1-2 years were particularly good to /u/s, but never mistake them for the norm.
>>2012398
what is the "girl meet girl" actually means?
if we take from the "boy meet girl", it would be a romantic story but it will just be a friendship story if its "girl meet girl".
>>2012397
What are you talking about

This one had Pandora
I am sure you are just overreacted for small reason
>>2012349

>>2012436
>Joukamachi no Dandelion
Did that get an anime?
>>2012442
yeah. it was pretty good, but not very /u/.
>>2012436
>Unique
Let's accept there were some unique characters.
It other cases it did not make sense. There was little to no build up for Lan's brother going crazy. What was his out for? Revenge? The first three episodes of S2 establish him as a cold but well-intentioned ruler trying to stop his planet from being destroyed which leads to...
>unique storytelling
Unique in picking up and discarding storylines, not building them up or leaving them unresolved. See the planetary collision, Lan goes crazy and the Mystic Lagrange flowers. The planetary collision plot was especially unique. Apparently the two leaders had been in conflict for years only to wake up and think to themselves (in the space of one episode) that 'who cares, it'll only happen in another 5000 years.'
>all the question
What is a Lagrange?
What was always eyes closed guy's purpose?
>Proof is the epilogue
Which did not resolve any of the above questions.
But let's accept the epilogue was good, it still doesn't fix any of S2's flaws. It's like an audit report describing how awful, inept and out of control a run-down school is with the final conclusion being 'she'll be right, this school is great and nothing is going wrong.'
>>2012397

>for 2 seasons

>>2012498
I think by 2 seasons anon meant this and the upcoming season. Also, Valkyrie Drive.
>>2012397
So, you expect other people to do the work for you, but don't want to contribute yourself?
That's why "nobody bothers to translate". Every little shit is like you, only crying to be fed, without bothering to try to sort it out. If people like you would spend less time crying and more time helping with scanlations, the problem wouldn't exist.
You can get photoshop and learn editing in no time.
>>2012490
Agreed, seeing that some people spend so much money on one figure of their favourite character which cost is as much you earn in a month is pretty depressing itself.
Someone should make a show about cute poor girls doing cute poor things together.

No, it seems they still have sex with a male for reprodution, but after that the females raise the chick together as a couple. (pic related)
That manga chapter seems based on this concept, I think. My japanese isn't enough to understand more than half of the dialogue but I think the light haired one happily tells the other she's pregnant and that they'll have their own child, but the latter freaks out because it means she had sex with a male.

>>2012621
>Am I reading this right?
Yeah.
>>2012621
Well, if what some people said about the protest on twitter is true, he wasn't really smart to make the story head towards het.
>>2012621
Maybe he'll actually write some lesbians again.
>>2012644
>yfw Apocalypse comes out from hiatus
>>2012621
I don't mind the manga but with how things were going in it, it place really is not on YH, their publisher should just move it to normal seinen magazine instead.
I hope Kurata will return to drawing yuri stories thought than completely abandoning YH now since his non-yuri manga got cancelled.
>>2012655
I just checked his twitter and although I don't understand much with machine translation it looks like part 2 was cancelled because of poor sales.
He sounds really upset because he spent so many years planning the whole plot - he even posted a photo of all his notes showing that he had the whole ending planned from the start(did he say it was going to have a yuri end? I'm not sure).
I actually feel sorry for him now, even though he brought this upon himself.
>>2012655
How exactly do these things work? Does YH commission him to write a story or does he want to write a story and approaches magazines to serialise them?
>>2012662
Blame the editor of Yuri Hime. That was Their idea for this story. Now Kurata Uso will pay for Their mistake.
>>2012653
>>yfw Apocalypse comes out from hiatus
He should have stroke it hot with the whole "being MMO game" being widely popular
>>2012621
Oh and Yuri Danshi 1-5 ebooks are free until March 31.
>>2012664
However part 1 was successful enough, wasn't it? Someone said it was one of the most successful titles in the magazine. So why did it go downhill in part 2? Was it the editor who told him to make the story go het with one of the girls(presumably) falling for MC?
>>2012669
Sales claims were never backed up. Only Yuru Yuri makes YH financially afloat.

So Kurata gone fully het with the girl angle and the editor decided to censor it?
Maybe he gone too far of what they agreed om when they accepted and pushed that idea?
I can understand first Yuri Danshi manga season was somehow accepted, yeah making fun of yuri fanboys must have been a blast for the yuri fangirls, who remembering that poll are the majority if YH readers, but then it wouldn't surprise me if they get bored with next season if it gone fully into romance agle for the male MC and the main yuri fangirl and the jokes became repetitive without any kind of yuri gratification on the front which is the main reason people buy yuri magazines after all.
>>2012621
It's about time. Hopefully YH will retain him as an artist and there isn't any bad blood due to the cancellation. Imagine if all those volumes were Linkage quality instead.
>>2012677
It was put on hold due to poor sales.
Apparently it was supposed to go into a proper yuri direction and become more fitting for YH.
>>2012722
It looks like the audience agreed with /u/s that 7 volumes is a little excessive to finally move in a direction befitting the magazine it is published in.
>>2012726
Or potentially it would still be going if it remained "Yuri Danshi" instead of trying to change title and direction.
>>2012722
Does anything put on hold ever come back?
>>2012722
He had several manga volumes to start heading there. He didn't. Bit late to cry about it now.

I know that the continuation of Konohanatei probably won't be translated any time soon, but what happened in the story afterwards?
>>2012744
Not much. In one chapter, they're hatching some weird egg, causing yuri subtext, in another, they're taking care of a little girl. The only noticeable thing is that it shows breasts sometimes.
>>2012753
Sure, but I'm just stating what I can see in the next few chapters we didn't get translated. Those didn't have any actual yuri, just a bit of the usual subtext-like blushing.
>>2012456
It was very /u/.
Did you even watch it?
>>2012753
Just read the first eight chapters, the main coule say they're on a date in chapter 3, but we don't actually see any real romantic development for them, so you can argue it's just subtext. It was a yuri hime S manga.
>>2012756
There's a one-sided yuri crush that's apparent in like 2 episodes while there's an established hetero couple from early on, one very heavily implied, another onesided crush and that's not even taking the parents into consideration. It's a nice show, but has little to offer. Sure, it's not zero yuri content, but it is still very low by 2016 standards.
>>2012781
Having a yuri crush at all is very high by yuri standards. And there are 2 yuri crushes.
>>2012738
The funny thing is that Konohanatei Kitan seems like exactly the kind of thing the YH editors are pushing for now with the alpha plus yuri thing.
The alpha in this case is, of course, fluffy tails.
>>2012787
What chapter is this from?
>>2012783
>Having a yuri crush at all is very high by yuri standards.
Eh...nah.

Go away
>>2012710
Do yuri fanboys in Japan have a stereotype? Are they as "popular" (or infamous) as fujoshi?
>>2012792
It's from the 4th chapter in the 2nd volume of the new series. I don't know what that is overall.
>>2012621
From his twitter:
>it's suspended
>if it'll sell it'll restart
>meanwhile he comes back being a YH reader
>he had already thought about the whole story and the end would have been yuri
>>2012793
It's not like it's easy to find.
>>2012806
Thanks! I'm glad it's still being published, I loved the first run.
>>2012799
Yeah they're stereotype is like Akari in that they aren't really there.
>>2012901
No, he can and actually have written good, actual yuri. Just go look at his previous works in dynasty.
>>2012524
>>2012530
>>2012533
There is also Binbo Shimai Monogatari, subtext SOL,
>>2012901
I believe that YD was really meant to have a yuri end, but he somehow forgot that YH readers want at least yuri teasing in the middle too, and that het teasing is definitely a bad idea, especially if it involves one of the supposed "yuri" girls.
How could an experienced yuri artist forget such an important rule is beyond me.
>>2012913
I saw. I remember reading Apocalypse and thinking about how hesitant the pacing was, like an old 100 chapter shoujo where the climax is a confession, not that's necessarily bad. Yuri Danshi didn't include enough yuri development because the author was too busy talking about his passion for it. Maybe it would've fared better for YH audiences if the yuri subtext wasn't so faint or a subplot.
>>2012948
If I remember right the sequel or spinoff manga or whatever even took it a step further.

Does anyone know what >>>/wsr/82448 is asking about?
>>2013022
I know the one they're talking about, I read it recently and I'm pretty sure it was even linked in one of our threads but I can't remember the name.
>>2013022
Mismatch Girls, probably.
>>2012662
Huh. You know, I would've thought that any het would've been for a joke about the main guy realizing he is that faceless dude that one chick is married to to give the manga a depressing ending, driving him to cut off his female friends in fear.
Did it really go for a straight relationship between him and one of the girls?
>>2012392
I read it. Feels so damn rushed, like most of the chapters before it. YH really needs a way more competent mangaka who can incorporate a plot with action into their yuri. Fuck. I'm so annoyed by the editors and the current YH.
>>2013032
It's kind of sad when the whole "x + yuri" formula is working better outside of YH, many of the publication's flagship series are either stuck in holding patterns with little more yuri than the typical Kirara series (YRYR), appear to be winding down (Citrus), or are straight up canned (Yuri Danshi).
Are there any other series that push sales? Is the decision to move to monthly releases a sign of brand confidence or a move of desperation? Is there simply no longer any need for a magazine dedicated to yuri when the genre actually seems to be doing better elsewhere?
>>2013065
You know what's even sadder? Even series that revolve around yuri does yuri better outside of YH. Look at bloom into you. Look at Shirayuri. It's not even a new phenomenon (Sasasmeki, Aoihana regardless of your opinion of the ending, octave). You'd think they would learn by now, after all these years.
What's even weirder is how the yuri anthology/magazines that come after YH try to do the exact same thing too. Hirari and tsubomi both took roughly the same path before giving up. Lots of one shots initially, eventual re-brand to "pure yuri", but they sure as hell had a number of relationship focused series that had potential when they went out. Too little too late? Is this a hole YH has driven us into? With YH being the premier yuri magazine, everyone tried to emulate it?
Here's what I remember the editor-in-chief said in July 2015. They will aim to go monthly in 2016. YH magazine sales have gone up, even in this age where most magazines struggle with a shrinking readership. He attributes it to YRYR. To the crowd that the YRYR anime brought in. Said YH would probably have died with the rest had the YRYR anime not happened. Flash forward 5 months to 2016. YRYR san hai's BD sales are cratering. With the first 3 volumes doing 5k, sub 4k and sub 3k respectively. It doesn't reflect YH's sales, but YRYR is undoubtedly slowly losing its audience. Imo, moving to monthly is a very risky move.
>little more yuri than the typical Kirara series
And with Kirara adding Heart of the Girl to their arsenal, this statement is slowly becoming false with each passing year.
>>2013032
Not to bring up more miserable news, but maybe the directionless state of the genre is partially behind Morishima's thoughts of retirement.
>>2013065
Ntr is apparently kinda hot. Not flagship level but doing well enough to get multiple reprintings.
>>2012949
>>2012949
This. A manga about Yuri is fine, but at least put some yuri development in it when it's being published in a magazine whose audience just want girls on girls action.
And If I'm looking for yuri, I ain't touch anything with het tease in it with a 10 foot pole, unless there's guarantee yuri ending. And Kurata doesn't even have the decency to give us any hint that a yuri end is approaching while fucking putting het tease in it.
He totally deserves this.
>>2013092
I like Bloom Into You and Shinmai Shimai (though the latter is not really yuri) so much, that I wonder if Nakatani doing a series for Dengeki was a much better choice than having serialization in YH. Greater audience aside, the editor in Dengeki seems to give her much more freedom over her work.
What YH direly needs right now is capable artist who is able to do engaging stories with yuri as an element. And there are plenty artists who are capable of that. Shinozaki, Shinmai Shimai and Shinozaki authors are all previous Yuri doujinka. But it seems YH is just not competent enough to get the good artists to their side.
>>2012783
>Having a yuri crush at all is very high by yuri standards. And there are 2 yuri crushes.
back to /a/ with you.
>>2013109
Prove it wrong.
>>2013065
There's more awesome yuri series outside of yuri hime that actually do x + yuri than in.
That's pretty retarded if you think about it.
>>2013092
>And with Kirara adding Heart of the Girl to their arsenal, this statement is slowly becoming false with each passing year.
Not to mention Sakura Kiss and Swap Swap, which feature more girls kissing in a single chapter than the entirety of a average YH series.
>>2013096
>Ntr is apparently kinda hot. Not flagship level but doing well enough to get multiple reprintings.
What about Inugami x Nekoyama? Or Tachibanakan? Would rather see more lighthearted and funny series than bleak and melodramatic ones.
>>2013107
They need to start pairing authors and artists together then.
>>2013112
I have plenty of yuri that has far more than a yuri crush.
And thus you're proven wrong. Having a yuri crush in a series isn't high by yuri standards, it's nothing by yuri standards.
>>2013115
>Sakura Kiss
I mean Sakura Trick. Damn Freudian Slip
>>2011835
>>2013115
>Heart of the girl
>ハートオブtheガール
It took me a while to find this series. Damn Nip and their abuse of English.
>>2013123
This is the kind of stuff that creates big arguments and causes the mod to nuke the thread
>>2013112
Raildex is not yuri.
>>2013107
>But it seems YH is just not competent enough to get the good artists to their side.
Maybe it's the curse of being an artist in a yuri only magazine?
Maybe the artists don't want to be branded as a yuri only artist, Nakatani is more known as Touhou doujin artist(of course most works were yuri related) who got a chance with proper serialisaton in a magazine which has wider audience, similair Mekimeki artist who too started with NanFate yuri doujins, got enough recognition to draw a Wixoss manga.
If we add to that Morishima whose Penguin Drum and Yuri Kuma Arashi manga weren't as popular as even her YH works, there's something strange about it and I could understand her thoughts about retiring if being mangaka doesn't bring her enough money or maybe she thought that drawing these manga would give her more recognition to get proper new serialisation elsewhere for better money.
Being a yuri artist for life in a yuri magazine if your work will never be made an anime simply doesn't bring the same money as being mangaka doing yuri manga in non-yuri magazine which has wider audience.
Namori and YH had really much of luck with YRYR whose at least every season sold above 3k line as average, first much better than last one. But it is a bit sad that YH staff can't really interest any of anime making companies to take a risk and make anime from their other yuri manga or novel line, but non-yuri magazines can and we had a few yuri anime going.
>>2013136
>Maybe the artists don't want to be branded as a yuri only artist
No - have you even looked at the twitter of artists like the murcielago one? They don't give a fuck about that.
They do care about the strict limits yuri hime's editors keep up. THAT pisses them off and drives them away.
>>2013138
I've never heard of a good thing an editor did for a story, it is starting to look like they don't do anything but limit an author's vision. Murcielago's editor must be a fucking saint to the author because it doesn't seem like anything is off limits and it is better for it.
>>2013143
Don't dismiss the importance of an editor just because some editors suck. There are some authors that really can't function without them. It's not yuri related but One Piece's author was recently revealed to be one of them.
You never know. Maybe it was the editor who encouraged the author to go in that direction in Murcielago.
>>2012662
>>2012677
I read over the tweets and basically he says that he devised this sequel series to Yuri Danshi in order to redeem the series. He felt guilty over writing a sausage fest of a series for the "mecca of yuri" that is Yuri Hime magazine and stretching it over several volumes, so he thought that he could sort of retroactively legitimize YD by making a sequel that contains more yuri and a yuri ending. He says "with this sequel, Yuri Danshi will be reborn as a work befitting of Yuri Hime!"
He also says that he could have gone with a forced/unnatural development to make it more yuri by disregarding the main character, but he didn't want to do that, he really wanted to go ahead with this sequel that he already plotted from start to finish in order to "correct" the five years he spent working on YD. But it sold like shit. He hopes he gets a chance to finish it someday.
Sounds like he just made a series of poor decisions and his editors didn't do their job at all.
>>2013148
>Sounds like he just made a series of poor decisions and his editors didn't do their job at all.
Of course. Teasing het romance in the first volume was a poor decison. No wonder sales droped hard and fandom boycotted this series.
>>2013148
At the same time it sounds like every ex post facto excuse ever: "What you've already seen was misleading, I had totally planned to go in another direction later on and it has nothing to do with the backlash/lack of interest I got. In fact I have it right here but unfortunately I can't show it to you so please take my word for it." Maybe I'm just cynical and he's telling the truth, but I'd rather take anything he says right now with a grain of salt.
>>2013166
Well, I haven't read the first volume of the sequel, but he must have really crossed the line with het to get YH readers so mad that they would boycott the series. Not even the two NTR chapters hinting at a possibleFFM threesomecaused this shitstorm among the readers.
>>2013167
Was there a boycott though? Felt more like nobody was interested in it anymore.
NTR is obviously moving towards a yuri end though and has always had yuri in its chapters, unlike the sprinkling we get in YD. Based on the latest chapter, I'm guessing that asshole's eventual attempt to blackmail them into the threesome will finally force Hotaru to break it off and come out clean that she likes Yuma.
>>2013169
>Was there a boycott though? Felt more like nobody was interested in it anymore
There were people talking about a protest on twitter when vol 1 of the sequel came out. I believe it was even mentioned in one of the reviews on Amazon.
>>2013241
So?
>>2013138
>They do care about the strict limits yuri hime's editors keep up. THAT pisses them off and drives them away.
That's the first I heard about that
>>2013139
Yuuki Yuuna is. Don't know why you even put it in the same level of those others.

It's a troll, senpai.

I remember someone asked for translation of that comment and it turned out reader was just mad and wanted to write his negative opinion in Kurata's twitter.
>>2013286
Yeah. But it the end he was not the only one who was mad about it.
Anyway Kurata Uso is working on another manga about trains (not yuri). He's only doing the art though.
>>2013313
>he was not the only one who was mad about it.
That's a given. No one was boycotting, though.
>>2013065
YH has always been mediocre at best. None of the outstanding long running yuri series came from it, and even Tsubomi and Hirari had more interesting, more original series than it when they were cancelled. (Despite Tsubomi in particular getting shit on a lot when it first started.) The only good series I can think of from it offhand right now is Cirque Arachne. I've read Heart-Pounding Excitement at Mononoke Girls' Academy a couple of times as well, and both those are from ages ago.
>>2013249
Uhm, have you actually looked at artist's twitters? Or looked at the content the artists outside of YH put out? Murcielago would be impossible in YH.
YH is short and by the numbers. Long, outside the box series get cancelled or killed even when the sales are good. Examples range from Sweet Peach to Gretel.
