EDIT: I do still recommend the anime if you've read the LN and want to see them animated. It's pretty good. The OP and ED songs are great. It's just... well, everything else really.

Sadly, the only upside about the anime adaptation is the OP and ED music, which is a shame considering the anime's opening itself was a rocker.

Also, I've found this yuri novel that looks like a must-read: Hands Held in the Snow.

Has anyone read the LN Otherside Picnic? It's a yuri LN that is different from other yuri LNs like I'm in Love With the Villainess, being that it does not rely on stuff like isekai tropes (of course). And aside from the A-Plot about Sorawo and Toriko visiting a world where creepypastas and Japanese horror folklores coming to life, the romance between the two becomes a major plot point in the next few volumes.

It's Roadside Picnic with Yuri.

I've read all 8 volumes currently released. Solid series.

I like the yuri elements but the main reason I read it is for the protagonists being totally willing to just push deeper and learn more and more about this eldritch stuff even if it means becoming less and less human instead of running away like a lovecraft protagonist

I remember the brunette has a ghost eyeball or something from the anime, but what other body alterations do the duo experience?

The blond girl has a spectral/transparent hand. But for the most part its more like I meant they were getting further from humanity mentally and further connected to the eldritch world and thus disconnected from normal life.

Like when they eventually have intercourse its a weird eldritch reality altering thing not normal.

I just finished binging There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless…
I had the BIGGEST smile on my face, it somehow struck right in my zone. It's not a -great- love story, but i really liked what it offered.

Any recommendation which is kinda like it ?
 
Well, I like to think Renako from Muri Janakatta!? easily ports over to the other GL manga that was picked up in May last year, Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels on looks and peculiarities, though, that is perhaps about as far as similarities go. :rofl:

I'm not quite sure if this completely counts but there is enough subtext between the two main characters, so what the heck.

Season 2 of Superhero series Shy will be starting on July 1st.

Here is the trailer and visual:

Technically they have pretty strong subtext but she got dropped later on for other characters and pretty recently picked-up but

Anyway my point is it's not as bad as western animation series with their barely-there-if-you-squint-and-desperate yuri subtext, but it's also much less than, say, Madoka. Or even Precure, taken as a whole. There are segments that could be a match, but not on the series as a whole.

Eh, given Adventure Time, Steven Universe, She-Ra, and Owl House have all come out with flat out in-text sapphic couples in the last few years, I don't know if that characterization holds up that well, but I do know what you mean.

I just noticed something.

There has been no mention of Hazbin Hotel on this thread. Is there a reason why the Princess of Hell and her Knight/Reality Check has not come up?
 
Very well then. I have noticed a few criticisms on the romance in Hazbin Hotel between Princess Charlotte, Daughter of the Morning Star Charlie and Vaggie pronounced with hard double 'g' like Maggie, she insists. Some of it is tied into how much compression the plot was subjected to (original outline was for 16-20 eps but Amazon only greenlit eight) but....
  1. They do not act like a couple: One wonders what an established relationship of three years standing is supposed to act like. Charlie can be a bit of a flake and Vaggie is not always successful at keeping her reined in (especially when the musical numbers hit), but the mutual affection is hard to overlook. And whoever has stated this after the season finale is very much in denial:

  2. Boring! Yes, this does dodge the "drama" of Charlie getting mixed up with Alastor (canonically asexual Evil Mentor/Token Evil Teammate) or Adam (Genocidal Fratbro and her mom's ex), but we do get an explicit rough patch over a longstanding Lie by Omission on Vaggie's part that was patched up by someone spelling out to Charlie that Vaggie's reluctance to fess up to a shameful past she thought made her worse than any of the damned souls they dealt with is more than balanced the sincere and devoted aid given to Charlie's efforts at redeeming those souls (something Hell and Heaven alike dismiss as a Fool's Errand).
  3. Relationship comes off as unhealthy/toxic/co-dependent. Given how much of Vaggie's self-worth seems bound up in "Any-and-everything Charlie wants to accomplish" this... is correct, with caveats.
    1. For one thing while Charlie can be thick at times she will push back when Vaggie starts overtly getting into a "What am I worth if I fail you" spiral anywhere near her.
    2. For another, the guilt complex and self worth issues that this mess is rooted in are not entirely disproportionate. I think someone else summarized it better than me on a sister board.

      Normally, 'I feel as if the only value my life can possibly have is using my military training to bodyguard this pure-hearted peace worker, as well as obsessively devote myself to her project of trying to redeemed damned souls so as to make Heaven finally cancel its annual genocide pogroms of damned souls in Hell' would be considered unhealthy obsession, but if you happen to be a fallen angel who was at one time an active participant in said Heaven-sponsored pogrom runs, then walking around with a massive buttload of guilt and feeling that the proper atonement for your prior career as a war criminal is devoting yourself to serving a charity dedicated to helping the victims of and hopefully ending said war crimes is entirely understandable and actually rather laudable for an attitude.

      Maladaptive? Perhaps. Uncalled for? Not really.

Thoughts? Aside from the hopes that this is fleshed out more along with everything else in upcoming seasons?

How'd I miss the last couple posts in this thread? 0.o Yep, I basically agree with everything you said, and that song is one of the things I try to keep in mind when it comes to writing romance.
 
I would say that this is relevant to this thread (considering that the series in question is considered to be one of the more lesbian Pretty Cure series):


View: https://x.com/wtk/status/1807563298055102925?s=46&t=TwNfyJI29BHSCLhSShOwfA

Maho Girls Pretty Cure (or as Toei has decided to call it in the west Witchy PreCure) is now available to watch subbed on Crunchyroll (also Go Princess Pretty Cure has been added).
 
Oh this thread still is a thing...

I recently read Sorry, but I'm Not Into Yuri and it was the kind of mix of hilariously horny and highly problematic yet somehow increasingly heartwarming that I love in my half-toxic half-fluffy ecchi Yuri.

So I recommend that if you are into problematic wholesomeness ecchi Yuri.
