"Not yuri" they said

Love Live has already monopolized all the yurifags. No one cares about this shit no more.

Wait for next season if you want to make another KumikoReina thread. Pray that it won't be drowned in the sea of other girl-on-girl shows like Flip Flappers, Strike Witches, that WW2 witches yuri, and so on

2 more weeks till yuri galore. I can't wait.

They ain't done nothing yet. Take off your shipping goggles.

Congratulations on passing comprehension school.

I hate that most people took "That's kind of hot" and went "AHA, CLEAR SUBTEXT"

She's saying hot.
As in hot spirited.
They're different words in japanese.

she says なんかエロイ

It's clearly hot as in sexual

She says 熱い

I literally just watched the scene, episode 8, 15:00

Yeah user she said that.

Did the designated male love interest get cucked?

"Coming of age"

Her feelings for Taki-sensei are anything but teenage

He creampies Kumiko five times a night

>yuribait
>subtext

Oguro: Reina’s finger touching Kumiko’s lips had a lot of impact too. Whose idea was that?
Ishihara: (silently points towards Yamada-san)
Yamada: Sorry for bringing out that seductive atmosphere between Kumiko and Reina. (laughs)
Oguro: Ha ha ha ha ha! (laughs)
Yamada: That kind of late night sensation came during work on the storyboards. I very much enjoyed that “writing a love letter” feeling it had. Kumiko gradually appeared to look like a young boy during the mountain scenes. I thought “giving the feeling of a young boy falling in love one summer” would be nice. It’d be a “first” for Kumiko.
Oguro: Like a first kiss?
Yamada: I don’t know how to say it. Like a first experience.
Oguro: I see. (laughs)

Kumiko was like a boy falling in love after a kiss one summer. Pure, unfiltered adolescense.

Yuribait lies in the eyes of the beholder.

so shiny

Shuichi will never experience such bliss. Also that's 2 times now that Kumiko and Reina are in a date together~

So yuri confirmed.

Class-S is not considered true homosexuality because the girls are expected to grow out of it.
That's why Yamada called it "adolescence" in the same interview.

Fuck you Yamada. This isn't natural. Girls aren't boys.

Of course not.

Oguro: When I saw episode 8, I thought “So this is what a yuri work would be.” It’s a different yuri than what men fantasize.
Ishihara: Yes, yes, that’s right.
Oguro: I’m not that familiar with yuri manga as well, but this wasn’t the soft fluff that they feel like; this was a work staged in the real world much like a manga for older women. That temperature also felt realistic.
Ishihara: That’s right. But it’s an example of how Yamada can go overboard occasionally.
Yamada: What?! (laughs)
Ishihara: I thought so in Tamako Market. It was awfully realistic.
Oguro: What, is that true?
Ishihara: She’s awfully serious when it comes to depicting yuri.
Oguro: But you don’t think of it as yuri, Yamada-san?
Yamada: That’s right.
Oguro: I thought there was also some yuri in Tamako Market.
Yamada: Ah, that’s right. Surely you mean about Midori.
Oguro: That’s right.
Ishihara: I agree. That’s somewhat serious too. (laughs)
Yamada: Is it?
Ishihara: Well, that doesn’t go to where men want yuri to be.
Oguro: (interrupting Ishihara) No, no, if Yamada-san doesn’t think it’s yuri, then it’s not!
Ishihara: (continuing on) What men want is a bit more giggly chuckly…..
Yamada: (interrupting both Ishihara/Oguro) Calm yourselves down! (laughs)
Oguro: Sorry. I got a bit excited.
All: (laughs)
Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.
Oguro: For which case?
Yamada: Probably for all of them. For Tamako, for Reina, for all of it. I wanted to depict adolescence!

...

Why must we be cursed with someone who can so accurately depict good realistic yuri but just doesn't seem to want to commit to it. Kind of a shame, oh well.

stay mad yurifag

The only ones getting baited are yurifags.

I mean what the hell? Why are they on a date again? They aren't even that good of a friends? Are they even friends? They don't even play the same instrument. The only thing in common is the club? Do people usually go on dates if they are in the same club? Wakaranai.

Mfw Kumiko's purity is ruined when she gets with Shuichi

Who cares, subtext pairings are the main focus of S2.

Hymens can grow back when a girl sleeps with another girl.

The yurifags are going to win.

The denial is delicious though, and I'll be sure to savor it when the S2 threads start.

>implying Kyoani is going to let that happen

Nope. They won't cuck the majority of their audience.

hibike is not a yuri show in the first place so trying to sell it as a yuri show is a bad marketing especially when there would be season 2.

What does the inside of Kumiko's mouth taste like?

>all those yuri undertones
>not a yuri show

It would be bad marketing to alienate the crowd that made an S2 possible. They know better than to bite the hands that feed them.

You really think thats gonna happen? It is KyoAni.

>>all those yuri undertones
>Reina obsessed with Sensei`s dick
>Kumiro will come together with Shuichi
>yuri

...

pushing Kumiko with Shuichi in season 2 would be the worst idea ever since they got ZERO meaningful development in season 1.

>Kumiko will come together with Shuichi

Oguro: And you don’t have to worry about making her seem feminine either.
Hanada: Yes, there was no need to do that. Based on that foundation, I found Kumiko an easy character to use in moving the story forward from a protagonist’s point of view. As such, I had to be careful about the situation between her and Shuuichi, to make sure this romantic subplot didn’t become too prominent. (laughs) And when it was animated, it was even less romantic—a further one or two steps back from where the scenario was.
Oguro: I see. So that doesn’t mean that what was depicted in the scenario was removed; it’s just that they were thinned?
Hanada: That’s right. The conversation with Shuichi in episode 1 changed a lot.
Oguro: It was more of a lovers’ quarrel, wasn’t it?
Hanada: Right.
Oguro: If I have to say, it felt like the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.

>the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.

They are not changing plot of the novels, so there is no argument. Plus S1 had big focus on SHUICHI liking Kumiko, and thus disappointment of Tuba girl realizing it and her "support" in their relation.

I am not even sure Shuichi will play the major role in S2, since they come together near the end, which is later and S2 focuses more on side characters stories than Kumiko and Reina - but the end remains the same.

>the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.
I'd take no proper pairing over something with Shuichi to be honest.

>They are not changing plot of the novels, so there is no argument.

It's not outside the realm of possibility for S2 to be the final season, with an AO ending that actually makes sense.

What significance could Shuichi possibly have later on that can convince Kumiko to choose him?

ah yes, a perfectly platonic friendship

>What significance could Shuichi possibly have later on that can convince Kumiko to choose him?
The theme of Adolescence, is growing up. Just as Utena broke out of the chick shell and got over the yuri and entered the real world - so will Kumiko too

>to make sure this romantic subplot didn’t become too prominent

nerfing shuu-kumiko seem to have strengthened the yuri-bait and made hazuki look like a total bitch for forcing shu into kumiko during the train conversation

Most male KyoAni MCs are really adorable. Shuuichi is not.

Honestly if you ignored light novel baiting, and paid attention to the show only, you would definitely know this is a yuri anime.

Two girls who confess to each other? Of course they are gay

Japanese stories and webcomics have opposite development.
The longer a webcomic runs, the more the percentage of homosexual characters approaches 100.
The longer a Japanese story runs, the more the percentage of homosexual characters approaches 0.

It's not even that I don't like him but as the production team mentioned there's just no feeling of romance between them. Don't get me wrong there's definitely implications that she may have had feelings for him in middle school but there was no development between them at all during the first season aside from repairing a damaged relationship from those earlier times.

>dykelovers not knowing the difference between yuri and yuribaiting

Kumiko loves Shuichi, Reina loves Sensei.

this guy.

But Shoe is moe

>Kumiko loves Shuichi

Nothing in S1 suggests this. In fact, as another user pointed out, the anime staff consciously chose to make the relationship between the two unromantic.

Because he's not an MC.

Never forget

It just proves that anyone who watches this show with an unbiased perspective sees it as romance between two girls.

The only reason anyone on Cred Forums thinks otherwise is because they're butthurt and in denial and use the LN as a reference point when the anime has clearly deviated from the Ln from day one

Hazuki?

Got rejected because Shuichi obviously has no romantic interest in Kumiko at all.

It's a political, pro-LGBTQIA+ rights tweet. How is a person posting it not biased?

Use context retard? They're not biased watching the show

This never stops being funny.

Nobody said Shuichi didn't having feelings for Kumiko just that she didn't reciprocate them.

I meant Hazuki telling Kumiko that Kumiko likes Shuuichi.

Hazuki misunderstood. You can tell by Kumiko's reactions that she does not secretly like Shuichi. It's a common enough trope.

Because Hazuki is the authority on Kumiko's feelings, yes?

This
The show even explicitly points out that Midori and Hazuki don't understand or get Kumiko

Brass = hetero
Strings = homo

I wonder where she's getting the idea from. I think there's some ground to argue that Kumiko may have had a romantic interest in Shuichi from events before the anime but not so much over the duration of the first season.

>yuri googles
>"unbiasaed perspective"

>Hazuki misunderstood.
Hazuki acted an impulse for Kumiko to realize she does indeed has feelings for Shuichi, which she didnt give thoughs before.

How are they not biased? If someone is a strong supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights and wants to see those groups represented more, obviously they would be biased and want to interpret it as a romantic relationship. If say, someone who posts on Cred Forums interpreted an anime as "anti-white", would you trust that person to have an unbiased opinion?

said nothing in S1 suggests it. Hazuki outright states it.

>said nothing in S1 suggests it. Hazuki outright states it.
You're misinterpreting what we mean by this. There's no interaction or characterization to suggest romantic interest.

>you would definitely know this is a yuri anime.
>Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri.

>If say, someone who posts on Cred Forums interpreted an anime as "anti-white", would you trust that person to have an unbiased opinion?
False equivalence because Cred Forums is pro-white and thus is automatically biased.
But LGBT officially only want equal rights, so they would officially see no problems with a heterosexual pairing.
But you have a point.

>nothing in S1 suggests it.
Sorry, most of us prefer to take our romantic cues from the characters themselves, not from some third party.

>I don't think that's depicted
>Not "It's not yuri"
>Not even "It's not depicted as yuri"
>But "I don't think" "it's depicted"

Sounds like a very unsure answer.

So you are agreeing?

/u/ is insufferable. Even after author and Yamada stated directly its not yuri, they stay delusional.

The bigger shock would be that Midori from Tamako Market is not yuri too. I loved the rage when interview was published and translated. But nowadays there seems to be even more newfag generation of /u/tards that take the same bait

>Stated directly
Where? They said pretty clearly only that they THINK it's not DEPICTED

That's not direct, they're only saying their opinion, not anything canon

>literally everyone in Japan interpreted the series as yuri
>people on Cred Forums still insisting it's just le crazy minority of yuri goggles and LGBT bias seeing it that way

Man, I'd really like it to be yuri.

What if they do develop this season? Just a question.

We just don't like gay characters.

>We

They would have to waste time on Shuichi and that's not going to happen.

I could get on board as long as it felt genuine and not 'we've got to course correct to the LN'. I wouldn't be too happy about it but I could live with it.

I don't like anyone that's happier than me.
People should be miserable and lonely, anime characters in particular.

Obsessive lesbians are often some of the most entertaining characters in anime.

>we

You got a tapeworm or something

Usually they've got barely any character though.

But Japan defines yuri as everything from BFFs to soulmate lovers.

Sure they do, mister Japan expert.

Identity crisis. Japs couldn't care less about imaginary homos so they are all over it no problem. While Cred Forumsnon can't like it because they would be identified as a filthy /u/ and possibly a liberal.

Do you need someone to tell you how interpret the anime?

>but she is the one who made the anime
Let's say I fucked you but you say you are not gay, what should I think?

What is adolescence even supposed to mean anyway

Happy gays.

It's the developmental phase where you go from child to adult.

Also, read the thread you lazy faggot.

>Do you need someone to tell you how interpret the anime?
/u/fags clearly do.

its class-S, why is Cred Forums so retarded about this shit when Japan does this all the time in yuri shows

These two scenes are the only ones that get posted when people bring up the yuri bait? Are they actually the only ones in the show? I could give it a chance if it's the case.

>These two scenes are the only ones that get posted when people bring up the yuri bait?
Their date night is the most impressive interaction between the two, but it's far from the only one.

It's Shuuichi who gets barely any scenes with Kumiko.

There's the train scene, the only when they change uniforms, and others. These two are just the kiss now! scenes.

I don't want it to be yuri because that would mean Reina would be giving up on Taki and would only be settling with Kumiko as a second place prize. Kumiko does not halfass things she's set her sights on or settle for second place.

That said, I wouldn't mind if Kumiko and Reina made out every once in a while.

It wasn't yuri, Kumiko and Shuuichi are dating and having sex every night

There are time when Reina joins and it becomes a threesome though, not that it's unexpected since this show is a harem

Thank you, anime expert.

> That said
You almost got me up until there.

Class-S isn't even a thing anymore

Yeah, I don't like lesbians either but two girls fucking is hot. I love yuri.

They were right.

Same here, i hate yurishit and yurifags, but I don't mind seeing two girls eating each other out.

Kumiko seems to be adopting Reina's competitive spirit, so perhaps she will prove to Reina that it's Taki who's the second place prize.

Doesn't she go out with shuuichi (geh) in the source material?

Didn't you get the memo? Source material is not canon.

>Source material is not canon.
So long as you are discussing the anime, that is.

Taki is also an unachievable goal for Reina. As much as she likes him it's just wouldn't make any sense for him to reciprocate her feelings.

Who's your Kyoani background waifu?

the novel ends with Taki sensei rejecting Reina's confession but the anime is still going down that route

Yamada: Ah, like if Reina loses her love for Taki-sensei.
Ishihara: Well, that would be a problem. At the beginning there was a plan like that. It’s a bit awful for Reina to enter high school having her hopes set on Taki-sensei, right? But I like that part of Reina, so I didn’t want it to be removed.
Yamada: That’s why Hanada-san tested the timing of Reina saying love quite a lot.

They even included Reina's rival in love for s2

Do you honestly think the anime will take a divergent path?

Do you really think it will take the same path as the novel at the cost of sales?

Makes perfect sense. The only logical conclusion of for Reina to give up on him and end up with Kumiko

>Reina's rival in love
Oh damn, This is going to be painful.

>yurifags are this delusional

Does she actually like Taki or does Reina mistakenly believe it?

Make an argument how something in season one disagrees.

They're talking about Shuuichi.

why didnt they just go full yuri in s1 then?

Because they hate explicit things.
Is this your first KyoAni show?

More like hilarious, she flips a table when she finds out about the rumors.
Rumors about her being his girlfriend.

then why would they go full yuri in s2 like this thread is implying? There's still season 3 to make

All this thread is implying is that they're the canon anime ship.

Romance is not the point of the show, what's wrong with you niggers?

Blame the hetshitters.

blame the degenerate t/u/mblrs

>Shippers are retarded
>Yuri Shippers are just as retarded

Pick both.

What else do you want to discuss?
Kumiko's blowing technique?
She blows.

It kind of is though, it's part of the drama.

Who flips a table when she finds out about which rumors?

Is it a rumor that Satomi is dating Taki and Reina flips a table, or is it a rumor that Reina is dating Taki and Satomi flips a table?

Eh, it's as much the point of the show as anything else is.

the only romance related drama is Reina Taki though

And whats-her-face got rejected by shoe1.

That's just irrelevant puppy love.

what argument to make? they are not fucking lesbian since the beginning and I only see /u/ fag jumping onto obvious bait just to get mad latter

>we the collective have come to a conclusion

top kek and yuri shit is more serious when they're teens right?

No one is saying it is but if it ends up being a part there's only one sensible way to go (currently).

It is when you get pregnant from it.

It's more relatable than unrealistic age gap romance.

Fucking yurifags, it's not even started and they are already shitposting

nah kynoani know how to attract more views by throwing yuri bait these and there and of course /u/ eat it up like usual
whitle totally missing the point of the show is about friendship and their struggle to archive the same dream they share

The only shitposters in this threads are the "Fucking yurifags" posters.

Isn't this just the shitposting brigade trying to rile people up?

The only person shitposting here is (you)
You don't seem to be arguing against me here, we're basically in agreement.

wtf by your logic I guess you saying all teens should be gay to avoid unprotected sex?
I see any reason for same sex relationship to be more "relatable"since they are the fucking minority in all kind of society

As an unbiased party, the S2 threads should prove to be fun.

And by fun I mean at least one side is going to get BTFO.

>wtf by your logic I guess you saying all teens should be gay to avoid unprotected sex?

These two must be gay though, right?

well judging from kyoani their girls show(and the boys in free) acted like they are full homo most of time but actually straight
I still dont get why yuri fag dont see this is stupid bait for them? they should get mad since they treated them like fool and lead them around but I cant judge them much since seem like good quality yuri show are rare

The former.

Squealer did nothing wrong

Oh please, there's going to be just as much bait on either side. Kumiko is going to have moments with Shuichi, Reina is going to have moments where she longs for Taki, and there will be smatterings of Kumiko x Reina yuribait throughout, with nothing solidified either way.

Both most likely, like S1. Nothing romantic ever happens and both sides are left with their """"proof"""

Excellent. It'll be nice to see Reina lose her cool, composed demeanor.

And then we wait for season three.

>""""

he's butt ugly though

Either way people will bicker forever.

Just an intentional trick by the PK scum to distract from his righteousness

I don't swing that way, sorry.

Well yeah, but that´s basically just Kyoani ignoring male/female romance completely.

>Ishihara: Well, that doesn’t go to where men want yuri to be.
Isn't this a bit offensive?
They think that most guys take on yuri is that girl need to have sex right there?
And what about women?
Do women realistically think all yuri means adolescence or a phase to grow up from?
I know that in jose aimed at adult women yuri doesn't exist at all, but hell there's quite a lot female yuri authors for whose yuri is something serious than poor adolescence phase.

I want kumiko to sit on my face

It's just arguing the difinition of "yuri". Nobody ever agrees.

Yuri is whatever you want it to be. I like this approach

Interviewer: Now I’d like to hear your thoughts on yuri. It might not be the most elegant question, but if you were to state your personal definition of yuri, what would it be?

Ayana Yuniko: Now that’s a difficult question (laughs). Sometimes it’s a direct extension of friendship, sometimes the boundary is more vague. I think recently I’ve become more accepting… Or maybe I’ve just grown up enough to gain some perspective. I’ve come to think that “if there are two girls together, it probably counts as yuri”. When I was around high school age, I had a strict set of rules for the genre and would discard anything that didn’t fit, like: “yuri should be defined as follows…”, “Aoi Hana is the pinnacle of yuri, nothing else even counts!” and all.

I: You were a yuri fundamentalist, so to speak.

Ayana: Exactly. Like Kamakura and the other Yuri Danshi characters, I would scream: “That’s unacceptable!”, and I was ready to fight for what I thought, too. But I’ve come to think that whether the girls at the center of it all are aware of it or not, if everyone around thinks it’s yuri, then so it is.

No, it's more of a different focus.
Men are typically not as interested in the nuances of romance.
Shonen typically has a token female and a few key scenes with her and the MC, and possibly the MC saving her (or vice versa) and at the end they're a couple.
There is shonen romance as well, but even then you have less love for the detail of interaction, and more focus on the cuteness of it all.

You know, i actually just wanna look at cute girls being cute with each other. If they actually kiss and confess and all the yadda isnt that important. Kyoani just makes very well animated girls acting cute.

>Aoi Hana is the pinnacle of yuri, nothing else even counts!
I assume she hadn't yet read the last chapters when she thought that.

>Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.
Every single time

She's like Cred Forums.
Saying "no homo" makes everything okay.

>since seem like good quality yuri show are rare
Understatemend of the year, user. I'd murder for an actual good Yuri show or something like Eupho to be more than just bait at the end.

Maybe it's a business thing. If she says "Okay, it's yuri" it adds a flag on the show and that would cut part of the target audience.

Sometimes I'm envious of yaoi fans, yuri is such broad term coming from asexual close friendship between two girls to explict sexs between two at the same time no wonder no one really knows where the boundary of it.

That's a bit sad cause with that many authors go with clear yuribaiting with two girls fully knowing they will never turn it into something romantic/serious between them.

Current yuri bond with cute girls shows is unholy union of waifuism and yurism.

Meh, that's what manga are for.

People get too worked up over Kumiko & Reina's relationship as if it's the only thing that matters. It's not even a main focus this season. Least if it's an accurate adaption of the novel which seems so since it's PV introduced the drama going on between Mizore & Nozomi.

>Mizore & Nozomi
Who?

Wait, are there other people on this show besides Kumiko and Reina?

>They think that most guys take on yuri is that girl need to have sex right there?
No, that meant they want yuri in the traditional sense, never go too explicit and "just a phase"

You kidding?
Lots of yaoishit have women fantasizing about husbandos

The only thing that will universally left untouched are Barashit

Citurs anime when? I know you said good, but still most likely than anything else

Very few other scenes in the series look as nice as certain Kumiko & Reina moments. If even KyoAni gives them special treatment, of course the people who watch it will be worked up about them too.

Citrus is fucking garbage, I'd rather we get something like Girl Friends or a Secret Flowers OVA

Kumiko is so cute

I'd take it.
>Girl Friends
I think it's too late for that, tho it would be glorious.

How about Yagate Kimi Ni Naru?

>DUDE LESBIANS LMAO

10/10 AOTY- Cred Forums

>guys take on yuri is that girl need to have sex right there?
have you read this thread?

Yuzumori-san or bust.

yknow this scene got removed from the recap movie

No one told you? Yuzumori got arrested.

Who would arrest a cute loli?

Why would you watch a recap movie?

She was blackmailing Mimika (or I think it's her name) with the compromising photos and videos.

>How about Yagate Kimi Ni Naru?
Is a few volumes maybe. Would be great.

>How about Yagate Kimi Ni Naru?
Yes please.

Just like we got a kiss in Chuuni S2 after all that cockteasing. Kyoanus just doesn't give a fuck about their fans.

>How about Yagate Kimi Ni Naru?
I'd rather get a Kase-san adaptation.

The last few chapters were pretty boring.

It´s less that they hate their fans and more that they cater to their wishes by removing most romance and instead inserting /u/ subtext.

His point was that it would be economically unwise for them to shaft their fans, but it's clearly not the case as the past shows indicate.

Mistakes are to learn from.

The fool learns from his own mistakes.
The wise man learns from other people's mistakes.

>the same people that praise Hibike's visual direction call others yurifags
just people girls do it in real life, doesn't make it the same thing. you don't have the same lighting, lip bounce, music, etc happening. that's what makes it a tease. they're making small touches and the two of them together look romantic. where as the rest of the interaction between characters is textbook anime high school shenanigans.

Not even yuri. One of the girls says she can't love and is just doing it because.

You're funny.

I just wanted a good realistic yuri anime for once, why did Kyoani have to say it was adolescence

They ruined this anime, everything about it was perfect, but they spoiled it with what they said afterwards. In isolation this would have been the perfect yuri anime, they even confessed their love to each other

Fuck you Kyoani, you ruined your own anime without even anything being wrong with the anime itself

You want Yuri? Then fuck off and watch Yuri on Ice. Hibike is about music.

Yamada is a deeply insecure woman.

Even taking this shit at face value it spells out that the one girl is afraid of being loved, and the other wants to be able to love. Not 'NOBODY LOVES ANYONE, REEEEE!'.

Kyoani only adds yuri subtext to a lot of their adaptions. They also added Dekomori/Nibutani yuri subtext in Chuuni. The source material of Euphonium has nothing to do with Yuri.

>literally have characters confess their love to each other
>it's just subtext :^)

Nice try

Ha

>They also added Dekomori/Nibutani yuri subtext in Chuuni.
I'm fine taking that as yuri more than Hibike, tbqh senpai. Shinka's admittedly a bit more up in the air, but Dekomori strikes me as pretty gay. The fact that she's an OC makes it all the more easier to believe, as well.

>Just like we got a kiss in Chuuni S2 after all that cockteasing
I didn't even care about a kiss in the show. All that mattered was that they're together and happy in a mutually loving relationship. We know that a kiss will happen eventually.

There will likely be none of that in Hibike. At this point the safest bet is that there will be no relationship and we'll be left not know what the fuck will "happen eventually" for the characters. A kiss isn't the closure. An "I love you" is closure. Except in Hibike, where apparently even that doesn't close the book on anything.

They're straight.

They lust after cocks.

They imagine themselves getting impregnated on their wedding night, wearing a snow white dress, as their husbando shoves his throbbing manhood inside their delicate flower and makes them his own.

Dramafags making a drama out of the question if the characters are gay or not.

>why did Kyoani have to say it was adolescence
Just because it's "adolescence" doesn't mean it's "lol just a phase". Adolescence is when most "romance" takes place irl or so I'm told

Underrated post

...

Why does this show look as if I am viewing it through a bad camera?
