New Nanashi no Asterism chapter is out and bad news, next chapter

>>2268126
Canceled?

>>2268126
Fuck, we're probably just going to get an open-ended status quo end.

I hope it ends with her dying alone and unloved.

>>2268126
She has blue fucking hair? Gross.

>>2268209
Which one?

>>2268233
He probably meant that blondie bitch.

>>2268126
For fuck's sake.
There were so many things that still needed to be resolved, but no, let's have the good old FRIENDSHIP end, because that's what really works when there's a love triangle. God fucking damnit.

>>2268246
>He
There are males on /u/?

>>2268279
Oh please.

This manga started so well.. shame

>>2268296
It started with an angsty love triangle with unrequited love on every side, and the only relationship that had any progress was the BL one.

Good. This would have ended in tragedy otherwise.

>>2268257
It was canceled, Jim. Thus the rushed ending.

Who's ready to laff at all the kids for not being jaded enough?

After a year waiting for someone to pick this series, Hachimitsu does, now that they are finally up to date, this.
Just ruined my day.

As much as I bitched about it, I was enjoying this. There really is no place for slow burn yuri atm.

>>2268540
>canceled after 5 tanks
Did it really sell that badly, or was it canceled for some other reasons?

I thought this one might be safe because it had a yaoi couple...

>>2268126
Well shit. It isn't my favorite series in the world but all that buildup and angst with no payout isn't what it deserved.

Queue speculation whether the shoehorned yaoi or the inescapable niche of yuri was responsible for killing it

>>2268570
I don't think it was a flop, it was pretty popular on 2ch threads and Twitter.

So what happened? Does anyone know why was it cancelled?

>>2268540
Well, I didn't like this series. Not because of the yaoi baiting. But how slow and stretched this series was. Every chapter was long but nothing really important happened there. The plot was stuck in the same spot too long. The writing killed this series. Too bad.

>>2268126
Literally what? Too bad. I actually looked forward to discussions of future chapters and ship wars.

>Friendship End
Does that mean that Kotooka won?

>>2268624
Well, theoretically yes.

>>2268627
>>2268624
Obviously it's gonna end with Tsukasa winning the Washiob owl, Kootoka became ok with being a third wheel forever.

>>2268628
>Obviously it's gonna end with Tsukasa winning the Washiob owl
Yeah, right.

>>2268570
>There really is no place for slow burn yuri atm.
>>2268592
>Not because of the yaoi baiting. But how slow and stretched this series was.

I think the problem is it has been too slow burn for its own good. I didn't dislike it, but I could see it turning people off when more and more issues are brought up and nothing seems to be getting resolved.

It really is too bad, though. Even with its flaws it's a breath of fresh air IMO.

>>2268592
This. The yaoi was more interesting than the long ass pointless yuri drama.

>>2269155
The yuri would have moved alone a lot more swiftly without the side forays into yaoi though.

>>2268634
Sadly it's not that fresh considering slow burn resides largely within the domain of written words and thus any avid reader can spot it and the pitfalls it brings. It's fresh in that it did a semi-manageable job of establishing slow burn in a different medium but then fell into one of the more obvious traps of being a slowburn. You can't stall progress if it feels natural for the characters.

Without new chapters of Kotooka suffering how am I going to cry myself to sleep every night now?

>>2269354
>kotooka suffering
>makes you cry

It makes me laugh. She deserves the worst end.

>>2269372
>>2269354

Yeah how can you feel bad for her. She's the one who is ruining everything. What a bitch.

As much as I hated how the series went, I'm sad that it has to end so abruptly like this.

Personally, I feel that it is tragic.

>>2269388
>she's the one who is ruining everything
Can we blame Kotooka for the manga being cancelled?

>>2269427
Harsh. Flashback from Kotookas's past in chapter 22 was sad but even so that doesn't justify her behavior. Especially while she knew everyone secrets.

>>2269464
I was expecting some serious bullying or that her friends excluded her for being a filthy dyke, but in the end her friends were supportive and she was just triggered by their wording. Her friends could have worded it better, but in the end they meant no harm and wanted to be with her and hang out together.

I'll give her a pass because she was just a kid, but I won't feel bad for her, she was acting like the egoistical bitch she always is. I'm glad that even Tsukasa admits that Kotooka a shit.

>>2268126
Glad this manga ended as a failure. Maybe it will make some authors think twice before adding yaoi into yuri manga.

>>2269494
Was the BL really that much of a deal breaker? Would you prefer if one of them was a girl?

Kotooka's gonna realize she's a lesbian and get her own new girlfriend after getting her shit together Fragments of Love style.

>>2269494
There are more fujos tan yurifags, and most fujos don't mind yuri, they are willing to buy a yuri manga for the cute gay boys. Pandering to them is actually a great idea.

>>2269503
I always find it funny when people mention the overlap between the fujo and yuri fandoms yet /u/ calls most Male/Male stuff yaoi, even though fujos prefer the term BL.

>>2269509
How come they prefer it?

>>2269494
Most yuri fans in Japan are ok with or like BL and most BL fans like yuri so I don't think that's what killed it. I remember a yuri author talking about a get together with her lesbian/yuri writer friends and talking about how most of them liked or have drawn BL in the past.

>>2268126
oh no...it is a shame.
i love it, like it is.

>>2269502
She already knows she's a lesbian though. It was confirmed in the most recent chapter.

Can someone who had read chapters 19 to 22 give us a summary please?

wow, a yuri manga with an unrequited love triangle that goes nowhere, het drama, and yaoi pandering gets canceled!?

good riddance

>>2269785
ch 19: Washio and Kotooka get into a fight
ch 20: Washio talks to Asakura about being gay
ch 21: Subaru and Asakura make up
ch 22: Tsukasa goes to talk to Kotooka and convinces her to go talk to Washio. Kotooka's past is revealed to the reader.

>>2269578
Like the yuri fanbase, western fujos wanted to distinguish between the sex and the romance (yaoi and BL respectively). Except BL isn't as retarded as shoujo-ai is.

>>2269836
What, no. People use BL because that's what Japan uses. Japan doesn't use yaoi anymore, everything is BL, there's no distinction between romance and porn. That's why people who aren't stuck in the 90s switched to BL.

>>2269819
What's Kotooka's past?

>>2269866
It means anon's up their ass and we should stop discussing something so off topic

>>2269882
She was friends with two girls and had crush on one them. When she confessed her feelings to her crush, the girl started avoiding her but after Kotooka explained what happened to friend B and friend B had a talk with crush girl, crush girl apologized to Kotooka. The poor girl didn't want to hurt Kotooka but she didn't know how to deal with a girl having feelings for her and was confused. The problem is she implied Kotooka wasn't normal, Kotooka lost her shit and decided to end her friendship with the girls. The girls tried to reconnect but Kotooka ignored them and went to a different school.[/spoilers]

>>2269893
Oh. Thanks for answering.
Do you know the release date of chapter 23?

>>2269894
3/16.

>>2269896

>>2269893
What kind of end do you expect will be salvaged from this?

>>2270877
Thanks for being useless newfag.

FUCK

I saw this coming as soon as I noticed the latest raws were still on the same situation as the first few chapters.
deserved it.

>>2268576
Probably not.

>>2269494
>yuri manga
I thought it was more of a /lgbt/ manga rather than /u/ or /y/.

The only way I can see this series being salvaged is if they time skip 10 years and show the 3 living together happily ever after in a polygamous relationship.

>>2283137
>The only way I can see this series being salvaged is if they time skip 10 years and show they are all dead.

>>2283137
I want Tsukasa to get most or all of the entire final chapter to herself same as the first chapter. To tie it all together. I can't see the ending being salvaged no matter what happens but at least it would be poetic about it.

Worse is if the author wastes a single goddamn page on the yaoi couple.

>>2283182
You deserve that the girls' triangle isn't resolved but the guys end up together.

>>2283914

I would kill myself

>>2283182

Why, that's too much. Honestly, just it have it end in POLYGAMY

>>2283154

why so angry

They can add "another" ending / epilogue at the actual tankoubon.

>>2284035
The tanks are already uncommonly beefy so I think it is unlikely to get an epilogue of any meaningful length when chapters need to spend 40 or more pages each to get things done.

Last volume is listed now by the way. Out april 22nd.

>>2283154
The five of them will meet up for a joint study session. Then when they call it a day and head home, they all get hit by truck-kun as they cross the street.
The End.

>>2284072

Wouldn't be mad if that happened to the guys

Last chapter comes out in two days. Last chance to guess the ending.

I say the girls confess their feelings for each other but decide to stay as friends and move on, and heavily implied love between the boys but nothing happens.

>>2288094
Kotooka doesn't win Tsukasa, but she gets the catharsis she needed and ends up happy. She moves on. Yadda yadda, timeskip, Washio and Tsukasa are together. Screencap this.

Yeah, I just described an ending that I want. But hey, there were times when I was right, so maybe.

>>2284072

Perfect.

>>2288094

Really, what shit. I'm so angry.

>>2289369

As expected, what a wet fart of a story.

Seems like Kotooka and Washio are on the right path but lol no closure and Tsukasa is the third wheel and knows it, or am I interpreting this wrong.

>>2289373
Better than expected for a sudden cancellation. The chapter is cute and comfy. And it kinda resolves the triangle with Tsukasa giving up. Also it looks like Asakura realized that he wants the otouto D.

>>2289378
Christ, Kotooka doesn't deserve to be with Washio and Washio could do so much better. I'm butthurt

>>2289369
>Kotooka ends up with Washio who never knew Tsukasa was in love with her
>Subaru will get fucked by megane guy
>while Tsukasa stays forever alone
I want my cash back. God fucking damnit it's hilarious how much the author shat on Tsukasa.

>>2289369
Wasn't Tsukasa supporting Washio getting together with Kotooka from the beginning?
This is literally the best ending anyone could have hoped for. GG /u/

>>2289519
It doesn't change the fact that Kotooka was a fucking piece of shit until the end. How can someone willingly goes out with your best friend's love, especially after what she did to them?

>>2289539
>It doesn't change the fact that Kotooka was a fucking piece of shit until the end. How can someone willingly goes out with your best friend's love, especially after what she did to them?
Did she really start to go out with Washio? It seems like it didn't get any resolution.

>>2289542
It's pretty much confirmed with Tsukasa's monologue about both of them while she realizes she's now alone, not to mention how Kotooka looks at Washio. But it's okay since they're all still friends :^)

>>2289369
So MC gets NTR'd in the end? I'm glad I dropped this a long time ago.

>>2289369
Was hoping for Tsukasa x Kotooka but oh well

>>2289557
MC is NTR'd right from the beginning anyway.

>>2289510
>Kotooka ends up with Washio who never knew Tsukasa was in love with her
Neither of them find out Kotooka was in love with Tsukasa either

I take it back, worst girl winning redeems the series for me.

>>2289510
Dude, she's 14 and this was her first love. She will move on just like everyone does. It's not like she lost the love of her life.

>>2268126
Dear god... poor Tsukasa was too pure to deserve this. She just wanted to play soccer and kiss her friend. Instead, the author cucks her with her other friend and she's alone forever.

>>2289640
>It's not like she lost the love of her life
No, just her two only friends who will be sure to put her apart once they really start going out. But she'll still be able to hang out with her brother and his boyfriend so it's okay.
But at least Tsukasa is actually a good portrayal of the nice girl who only wishes the best for everyone and gets fucked hard in the end.

>the only real winners were the boys
Nice yuri.

>>2289640
some other girls even used some line about "first love never comes true"

it's actually second/third love for washio and kotooka

>>2289629
Kotooka says that she will eventually tell the others her secret and theirs so everyone knows everything.

I knew it. Fucking status quo for the trio. Lazy author. So many pages waisted.

>>2289659
They said that to Tsukasa. So it fits.

>>2289663
>They said that to Tsukasa. So it fits.
yeah exactly

I think the fact that washio and kotooka both weren't each other's first love kinda emphasizes that message

>>2289663
Well it got canned so any romantic developments would be rushed as fuck. /y/ didn't get a resolution either

>>2289663
>status quo
For now but it's implied that Washio and Kotooka will end up together. It's not the author's fault that the manga was axed, it's pretty obvious that she was aiming for a Kotooka/Washio.

>>2289663
How is that status quo? Did you expect one to just walk away and never talk to the other two again?

>>2289369
There had better be a proper epilogue chapter in the tank to wrap up the story a little better.

Don't get your hopes up, it's probably Subaru waiting for his boyfriend.

Kootoka needs to be with Tsukasa or die an old single hag

I'm so triggered. It goes against her passive agressiveness with Washio earlier chapters.

>>2289684
I'm more worried it might end up in Asakura x Shiratori twins 3P ending.

Hoooly fuck. This is too much to take in.

My thoughts.

1. Why the fuck does Kootoka get to be in a relationship?

2. Rip Tsukasa, I'm so sad

3. At least Washio gets to be happy? I mean, she got her girl.

Washio is the only one who gest to be happy, because I guess Kootoka wanted Tsukasa. Tsukasa doesn't get anyone though :(

Anyway, at least two of them kinda ended up together. The ending did get that right at least.

Sometimes first loves do work out though. And Kootoka going out with Washio seems to run completely contrary to her entire character arc until now. It probably would have been best for them to all actually just remain friends and fast forward to them having different partners in the future.

I wish I'd never read this manga, seriously.

>>2289870
Kootoka and Washio didn't end up going out. Actually there was very little that has been resolved between these three girls. At the end they still remained just friends

Tsukasa is the winner here. She didn't get into a shitty relationship. Also, she's fucking 14. She's been spared a lot of stupid teenage romance shit.

Washio and Kotooka are canon

>>2289870

I just realized that I agree with you

Too much emotional investment into such a shitty story

>>2289925
Don't forget in manga the first person you fall in love with in high school is pretty much always The One. Unless the mangaka is intentionally going against that cliche. So assume that if Kotooka and Washio had been given more time to be fleshed out it might be at least more plausible

>>2289870
Kotooka always had self-esteem issues and wanted someone to truly love her. It's only logical that she eventually falls for the person who loves her the most once she gets over her crush on Tsukasa.

Is this "better" NTR than NTR (manga)? Haha.

What a crappy ending.

>>2289774
Hachimitsu scanlates the series from volumes so we should get it.

So basically the ending was foreshadowed a long time ago.

>>2289851
>1. Why the fuck does Kootoka get to be in a relationship?
She is not in a reletionship. Maybe she will be in the future or maybe not.

is Tsukasa the new Yaya?

>>2290662
They won't ditch her. One of the points of this chapter is that that 2+1 is 3 and that people can have more than one precious person.

>>2290662
A narrative structure only works if it stays standing. Before it got axed I could believe it if someone extracted meaning from a scene like this but it ended with as close to a nothing end as possible and tore down what it was building up.

>>2290662
Chapter 14 is full of foreshadowing too
Tsukasa- Deneb
Washio- Altair
Kotooka- Vega
>In the Chinese love story of Qi Xi, Deneb marks the magpie bridge across the Milky Way, which allows the separated lovers Niu Lang (Altair) and Zhi Nü (Vega) to be reunited on one special night of the year in late summer. In other versions of the story Deneb is a fairy who acts as chaperone when the lovers meet.

>>2289684
To me it just looks like CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT for Tsukasa.

Pottery.

Say what you want, this was a very well written story and I’m sad to see it go prematurely.

Could definitely have done with a less shitty Kotooka, might have alienated less readers too. Anything Kotooka was a waste of pages, but everything else was great.

>>2292880
Did you mean the word poetry by chance?

>>2292928
>not lurking
There's less obvious ways to show how new you are.

>>2292880
It had good writing in bursts but it was wildly inconsistent. Combine that with the jumps between 5 characters who each jumped between exhibiting different personality diagnoses and it is no surprise readers got knackered into poor sales and ultimately caused its cancellation.

>>2292935
They all got decent amounts of characterization due to the chapter length, and I simply don’t find any character inconsistent. Even Kotooka is extremely consistent in being shit. She’s the character no one needs that exists to keep the drama going and prolong the story. Which is always a goddamn shame but even more so in a cancelled series. And even then she’s not a bad or unrealistic character in any way, just one whose actions I have zero interest in.

It’d be interesting to know what exactly caused reader interest to wane, because plenty of series go strong with this kind of shitty drama that only exists to churn out more chapters in a manga too successful for its own good. For the most part this isn’t about quality and more about expectations not being met, like all the folks here who get pissy because they’d rather have sex every chapter or are ass pained the BL story is moving faster than the yuri one due to a distinct lack of Useless Drama Character.
Which is completely fair, even if something is good, if it doesn’t interest you, it just doesn’t interest you. I guess this manga failed to capture the audience it wanted to go for initially and the more accidental readership it must have had to get this far had no interest in traps and Kotooka being a shit. Not enough cute girls doing cute things? I really doubt more yuri would have saved it.

>>2292944
I get what you're saying but in my eyes the plot was starting to get manic. I enjoyed reading it a lot but some chapters were stupid comedy and others were comically stupid. That's the inconsistent thing that bothered me. My only expectation was that the writing would maintain the same standard of logic in a comedy chapter as it would in the grimderp but that wasn't the case and it lost its appeal to me because of that.

>>2292950
So basically it comes down to Kotooka a shit again? Well, I can agree on that. She created problems where there were none.

How the fuck has Kotooka won? Are you retarded? If she didn't end up with the girl she liked, how can you call it a victory?

The one who's won is Washio. Good for her. I was Kotooka's fan though and wouldn't mind myself to have such a GF as her. But she never won, not in the slightest.

This ending must have made the smallest percentage of people happy out of all possible endings.

People who hated Kotooka didn't want her with anyone, Kotookafags wanted her with Tsukasa and I'm assuming most Washio or Tsukasa fans wanted them with each other.
Personally I thought that Washio's feelings for Kotooka were depicted the most weakly, so her being the girl to get the one she wanted can't make me care much. I'd much rather have seen Kotooka end up alone than this.

I wonder if a BL exists where the main homo pair gets shafted to the point a side /u/ pair looks great in comparison. I'd be up for reading that right about now.

Dang, Kotooka was my favorite and I wanted to see her with Tsukasa, not Washio.

>being mad about the ending when Tsukasa unironically cucked herself from the beginning

>>2297822
>Kotooka was my favorite

die

>>2297815
>Personally I thought that Washio's feelings for Kotooka were depicted the most weakly

To me it's the opposite, since she's the only one of the three who actually puts some effort into trying to win the girl she likes, so her feelings felt more tangible to me.
All Tsukasa was doing was cucking herself and making le angst face whenever she noticed Washio lusting after Kotooka, and Kotooka was the same with added selfishness where the other two weren't allowed to be happy together and tried to make them as miserable as herself.

>>2298001
Well I can agree that Washio was the least passive about it and can see how that would appeal more to some people, but seeing her be oblivious to both how Tsukasa felt about her and how Kotooka felt about Tsukasa made her attempts at pursuing Kotooka come off as less admirable to me. The main reason the other two weren't pursuing who they liked was because they knew they liked someone else and had to consider how everything would impact their friendship. Washio just pursued Kotooka while not being aware of this, so she didn't have any of the weight the other two did on her shoulders.

>>2298075
You're right about that, she was able to pursue her feelings more freely because she wasn't aware of Kotooka's crush and she was also convinced that Tsukasa was 100% supporting her too, so she wasn't afraid of disrupting their friendship either.

Nevertheless I would have liked it more if Tsukasa was a bit more selfish and tried to win Washio over too, because she was always so resigned to her crush being one sided and hopeless that I never got invested in it.

Kotooka's actions honestly felt inexcusable to me, because she was aware of the whole thing and yet she treated everyone, especially Washio, with a passive-aggressiveness that only served to ruin the mood whenever someone was having a good time. If the author didn't bother to remind me that she had a crush on Tsukasa every once in a while, I would have thought that she was just being a killjoy for the sake of it.

>>2298094
She was a killjoy for the sake of it. It was the same in the flashback, as soon as something doesn’t go completely her way, she throws a tantrum. She didn’t mature one bit from back then.
If she’s in a bad mood, then others need to be too. That’s about as much being a killjoy for the sake of it as you can get outside of comically evil disney villains.

>>2297786
...Dude, the thing is that the manga implies she will eventually fall for Washio, not that she will start dating Washio while she's still in love with Tsukasa.

That's like saying that Asakura didn't won because he didn't end up with Tsukasa.

>>2298116
>Kotooka and Subaru on the lap of their future lover
>Tsukasa's "I'm fine ;_;" face
God.

Why everone here acting like one of the trio win?

>>2297815
I'll admit that I was really hoping for a threesome end, that Tsukasa would figure everything out at last and then muscle through common sense with genki power and get them all together. Maybe that was by far the least likely vs breaking the triangle but there aren't many actual threesomes in yuri manga where everone is genuinely into each other (ie., a threesome, not a v-some), in fact I can barely think of any. Shoujo Sect was one.

Oh well, I don't inherently mind a very slow burn and build up, because while it's tough waiting for each chapter it often feels perfect when you can just read through it all at once in a single volume. But it's definitely risky in terms of actual practicality, because unless an author is independently successful enough that they just don't need to care anymore they run the potential of early cancellation and then everyone is left dangling. Shouganai and all that.

>>2268130
Yeah, it got axed.

Author says the print run for the last volume is going to be extremely limited, so you better preorder your copy if you are seriously thinking of buying it

>>2314253
I lost the motivation to buy it after seeing the weak ending. Maybe the tank epilogue will repair my opinion on it but by the time I find out whats in it the damn book will probably be sold out.

>>2314253
Woah, did the last few volumes sell so bad? There's also the digital version just in case, anyway.

Decent characters, interesting plot, directionless development, messy pacing.

As a stranger to /u/ who encountered this series, I fell in love with it after the first two chapters, read it up through chapter seven, decided to see what 4chan thought of it on /a/ and /u/ because I've got extremely poor extremely decision-making skills, and promptly spoiled myself to high heaven and back because after flipping a few pages ahead it turns out that chapter eight is about when Kotooka is apparently going to be revealed to be the queen bitch from hell.

I'm probably not going to finish reading this series.

This concludes my blog of the week.

>>2315830
>the queen bitch from hell
Who also seems to decide to give Washio a chance, because fuck Tsukasa. A piece of shit until the end.

>>2315944
>A piece of shit until the end.
She is just a kid. Very bratty kid, but still a kid

>>2316124
That is only applicable outside the bounds of the story since the author doesn't bother to avoid vindicating her behavior.

>>2315944
That never happened. Tsukasa is the one who believes that in a future Kotooka might end up giving Washio a chance, but that's all.

>彼氏
Yes, seems like it was just a phaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

I hope the author and the faggots who say this is a masterpiece all burn in hell.

>>2317816

>>2317816
Holy fuck. Burn this shit to the ground.

Giving it the axe was too merciful, this should have been crucified.

>>2317816
Ouch. This did indeed deserve to be axed harder than Hana and Hina.

>>2317816
This is such a disgrace.

>>2317878
Can someone provide a rough TL so that non-moons can show disgust at this properly?

It will give all of /u/s a chance to spit on its grave and say how this gives a bad name to yuri with absolute and unerring conviction.

>>2317816
Wow, I feel so bad for anyone who actually spent money on this

>>2317887
I have called out from the earlier chapter that this kind of story will never have a decent and proper ending, but some faggots here still insisted that it was the most kino thing they've ever read. Oh well, whatever.

I don't know what's going on and I never even read this series, so I can't share your anger properly. However, I hope you guys send the author an angry email or something, so atleast they can know they fucked up.

>>2317905
You have my deepest sympathy.

>>2317908
>yaoi
Of course, there wasn't a mention of girlfriends in the page with the two boys. Still don't understand why this retard of a mangaka made the main premise about girls if all she wanted to draw was actually gay boys.

>>2317816
So I'm up for a good 'ole rage but first can somebody tell me what that means and how it shows that this is just a phase.

>>2317917
It doesn't.The girl who had a crush on her childhood friend married him and invited Tsukasa to the wedding. Tsukasa says the ceremony was great, the girl looked pretty etc. Then Kotooka asks her if she's gonna marry her boyfriend soon and Tsukasa gets flustered.


Anyone who is triggered by Tsukasa being bisexual and dating a boy is a retard and should hang himself. She never said she was a lesbian and this doesn't mean her feelings for Washio were just a phase. I'm glad that my girl found someone to fall in love with, and Washio and Kotooka are probably together like the last chapter implied, so all is well.

>>2317926
There is actually no indication that Washio and Kotooka are together though.

>>2317926
Was just gonna post this. What's with people here and incendiary bait?

>>2317929
first thing I noticed after reading it was that washio and kotooka have matching beaded bracelets. Cute, could mean they're still a couple. I'd be inclined to think so, doubt the author would be that tone-deaf.

>>2317932
It is actually a new low if you have to take matching bracelets for a confirmation of dating, especially for a yuri series.

>>2317926
>She never said she was a lesbian
She never showed a single interest in men and didn't give a shit about What'shisname romantically, yet somehow she ends up dating one.

>>2317932
The author ended the manga without even a single confession or resolution from any of the main characters. Literally nothing happened except everyone realized what was going on and decided to just shut up and not say anything.

I wouldn't put it past them to bait people with matching bracelets only to draw up some shit later with the three of them on a triple date with their boyfriends.

>>2317935
But there's context anon. The trio has always had matching stuff for all three up until this point. Tsukasa's wrists are pointedly bare.

>>2317937
it got cancelled anon. and last volume had a limited release.

>>2317938
Let's put it into context. You have 20+ chapters of girls anguishing in love with each other. Timeskip and the single confirmation we got is the main character got a boyfriend. Her 2 friends instead got matching bracelets which you have to squeeze your eyes damn hard to see (Yes, i didn't notice it until you mention) and zero mention of any relationship development.

Context my ass.

>>2317926
I remember when such endings were praised for being 'realistic'. Now they are praised for being 'progressive'. I also like how it's explicitly stated that she has a boyfriend but not that Kootoka and Washio are together just for extra shittiness.
Also, I've complained about this before and it's less about any specific work and more a general thing but it is grating how bisexual woman almost always equals ends up with a guy in every type of fiction.

>>2317936
That's not true, Asakura made her heart race, it wasn't love because she already had Washio, but she did feel something.

>>2317943
>how bisexual woman almost always equals ends up with a guy
Just like real life, then?

>>2317940
It got axed for a reason. Maybe should have focused only on the main trio and not introduced needless garbage into the mix like a crossdressing siscon.

>>2317943
I don't really mind bisexuality, but honestly this trope has to die. From a non-yuri story, kay, but from a story with yuri premise?

I didn't buy the tanks for this out of all the series they recommend last year so at least nothing was lost.

>>2317950
>yuri niche as hell
>fujobait more popular than ever
Yeah, I'm sure it got axed because of the guys. If anything more boys could have saved it.

>>2317946
I'm bi but it's tiring as hell when it's the only thing around and why I almost never touch stories with bi leads if I'm looking specifically for ff stuff.

>>2317943
Sadly the bi defense force is already here. I was hoping this thread would have uninterrupted time to embrace the vitriol of combined hatred that this ending deserves.

I legitimately think the author pulled a Higashiyama Shou Stretch ending on us and spited fans on purpose because she was mad about the cancellation. For an author who can convincingly write someone as warped as Kotooka it would not be much of a surprise.

>>2317952
Yes, this come from the same publisher which publishes:
- Happy Sugar Life
- Murcielago
- Seifuku no Vampiress Lord

And a shit ton of other gay as fuck series. But I'm sure the only reason this got axed is because yuri is niche, not because its quality is shit.

>>2317951
Exactly.
If it was a random story with a bisexual protagonist, I would dislike it but I also wouldn't give a shit about what some random story does, because I wouldn't read non-/u/ romance.

But this was supposed to be yuri, which means it is in fact absolutely disgusting.

>>2317952
Mayne he shoild have just made a crossdressing yaoi story then. It would be popular with both crowds and I would never have gotten invested in it.

>>2317956
Even on 2ch people were saying that they preferred the boys to the girls.

I'm sorry for you, but even more sorry for the lesbians you met or will meet.

>>2317956
>- Seifuku no Vampiress Lord
You know that just ended, cancelled?

>>2317960
Because the author did a fucking poor job on the girls, that's why.

And honestly their drama is just tiring to read when nothing ever comes out of it after so many chapters.

>>2317962
>>2317954

>>2317955
The only ones triggered by the ending are "but muh real lesbians" morons and they deserve all the suffering they get.

>>2317964
It was published on Joker instead of Online Gangan, and since it's a physical mag there is more overhead and stake in it.

And cancelled or not it still has a pretty organic end anyways. The story really couldn't have a better end.

It started so great with long chapters, mixing angst with fun but it just sorta fizzle out and the ending doesn't evem hurt that much by now. I know there's now going to be a lot of 'it was always shit' posts but I can't think of any series that has disappointed me as much as this one did.

>>2317967
Yeah, why did those faggots expect a yuri end in a yuri manga?

>>2317967
You're trying real hard to defend a yuribait series. Why are you such a masochist cuck with no self-respect?

>>2317971
I mean, yeah, I kinda lost a lot of interest in it since the bro started appearing every chapter over and over (talk about annoying character).

But you still gotta get mad when bullshit like this crops up.

>>2317972
Two girls are implied to end up together, one ended up with a guy. 2/3 yuri end.

>>2317965
That's the worst part. You get more and more engaged in the yaoi subplot, which seemed to have actual thought put into it.

Meanwhile, the main characters don't do anything except wallow internally about the situation until the manga ends.

>>2317978
And you do realize that the main character of this yuri manga, who was in love with a girl since the beginning ended up with a man, right?

>>2317964
And if you want more salt or actual yuri to read Adachi to Shimamura is still running, you know.

>>2317981
And why do you care so much? So MC is dating a random guy we never met, BURN THIS SHIT, but if she was dating a random girl we never met, 10/10 MASTERPIECE. Do you realize how autistic this is?

And is this even a yuri manga when half of the chapters were yaoi?

>>2317978
But tons of people disliked one of those girls and also thought those two had little chemistry compared to either with the MC.

I'm pretty sure people would be less angry (though still angry because nameless random epilogue het can fuck off) if it was Kotooka who ended with a dude and the other two were paired for example.

>>2317985
> if she was dating a random girl we never met, 10/10 MASTERPIECE
No, it would still have been shit, but at least not a "Fuck you" to the reader's face.

>>2317985
>yuri MC spending an entire series lusting for a girl
>ending up with a guy
>"why do you care so much"
You're fucking braindead.

>>2317978
>2 girls may orvmay not have ended up together
>but hey! One girl who liked another girl absolutely, definitely now has an unnamed and unforeshadowed boyfriend.
>enjoy this yuri manga.
Please never forget this framing.

>>2317988
Again, it's only a fuck you to you because for some dumb reason you're triggered by girls taking the dick. Any sane person wouldn't give a damn about Tsukasa dating a boy or a girl as long as she's happy.

>>2317990
>her first love was a girl, that means she must be a lesbian
Also the manga already implied she could have had feelings for Asakura, if she wasn't in love with Washio. She was always implied to be bi. Stop acting like a retard.

>>2317985
Why are you arguing about NNA here if you're not even from here? I'm sure there's some forum you can go to celebrate the end of your beloved series or you can go to /a/ and make a thread about how 'triggered!' everyone is.

>>2317998
I'm enjoying the salt and tears.

>>2317997
> implied she could have had feelings for Asakura
It was never implied, she was just happy someone finally confessed to her. Note the "someone".

>>2317997
Most people here don't care about girls taking dicks that much. Otherwise we would be raging about every hetero romance series out there.

People rage because we are in a yuri board discussing about a supposedly yuri series, you know.

>>2317944
You'd be surprised at how anyone paying attention to you can make your heart race when you're unused to it, without being sexually attracted to them

>>2317997
What a coincidence that as soon as Tsukasa "grew up" and left high school she no longer has any interest in the girl she was apparently deeply in love with to the point of suffering and is now on such good terms with a man that marriage can be brought up.

That seems to happen a lot in yuri, where girls suddenly realize they want the D and that it was just high school after all. By the way, that's call a phase, not being bi.

>>2318009
>That seems to happen a lot in yuri, where girls suddenly realize they want the D and that it was just high school after all.

What part of that being fucking shit compared to the MC EXPLICITLY ending up with a guy do you not get?

>>2318009
Yeah, where is bisexuality even coming in? This is textbook crush on a girl till graduation, 'I grew ouy of that phase' shit. I know it's not exactly chill nowadays to ignore bisexuality, but it really does look like something from out of an old story.

>>2318009
She realized by the last chapter of the manga that she was the loser. I doubt she spent the next for years of high school pining after Washio.

>>2318015
Consider how fervently the anon has been trying to defend the series, I don't think we can talk anything through his thick skull at this point.

Let's just drop it and move on to other series.

>>2318015
Sorry man, I will never get this autism of MC ending up with a boy is worse than Hitler. I'm not a rabid yurifag like you. Boy or girl, I don't care as long as she is happy.

>>2318022
The mentally challenged here seems to be (you).

>>2318022
I think you're missing the point anon. I can be perfectly happy that Tsukasa is happy while still being displeased at the inequality between an explicit het relationship and an implied (at best) yuri relationship at the end of a YURI series.

>>2318025
>REEEE BOYFRIEND.
Yes, I'm the one in the wrong her for caring about Tsukasa as a character and not just as fap fuel to be discarded as soon as she doesn't fit the yuri fetish.

Everyone was feeling bad for her after the last chapter was published because she didn't deserve that shit, and now that we learned she got a happy end, it's shit because it was with a boy. Cry more.

>>2318017
Even if she realized that she was a third wheel loser, as long as she was hanging around those two, her feelings likely would have persisted for a while, unless it was just a simple high school crush. Its why you're generally advised to cut off contact when you break up with someone, because you can't be trusted to keep things that way.

I don't think it's fetishistic to be dismayed at how the only epilogue we have to the story refuses to address whether any of the girls ended up in a lesbian relationship while explicitly telling us at least two characters are in heterosexual ones, especially considering how gay angst was a cornerstone of the drama and characterisation in the story.

And if you don't understand that you're either very insensitive or just trolling. It is 4chan though, you do you.

>>2317816
It's better to burn out then to fade away, I guess.

It's like the author knew how much of a shitshow all of this had become, and after getting canceled, decided to go for one last thing to bother the fans.

just passing to say this was always shit.
should have listened to me but noooope.
this guy clearly didn't want to write yuri.

I think you're vastly over-estimating how many people even read this. Most had dropped it when Kotooka kept being a cunt. I say as a Kotooka fan

>>2318078
Of course, author would never make their beloved yaoi boys straight.

So let me get this straight (lol), the main girl of this supposed yuri manga, who in theory we all should routing for, cucked herself first and got together with some random dude in the epilogue, the mentally broken, bitchy friend that was introduced as some sort of love rival to the MC got together with the love interest besides no chemistry and no implications on mutual feelings whatsoever.

Did the author just rolled the dices to decide on that ending?

>>2318082
Eh, we got het either way and at least that would mean the annoying siscon brother got double-cucked like he deserved. Seriously even though Asakura was theoretically the het danger and bro had a pretty hopeless case, I still hated the latter way more, what an annoying smug piece of shit he was. It's also why I can't understand how anyone would like the yaoi-leaning parts of the work more, together with the fact that it was so generic with the hiding crossdressing get-up and there was no chemistry at all there.

>>2318089
he wanted to make a joke out of his ending and did a pretty decent one.

>>2318055
Just dump them in your local used book store.

That said, this series has really shows me that it's better to trust recommendation from other anons and authors' past work than those blog in Nips.

Kinda funny that out of all the running yuri from Gangan this is the only one I didnt buy. Lucky I guess.

>>2318090

he was just there, kootoka and washio are the ones who tried so hard to make tsukasa straight.

>this series has really shows me that it's better to trust recommendation from other anons and authors' past work than those blog in Nips.
It's been /a/'s slogan for years now:

>>2318092

That's what happens when the manga gets axed.

>>2318092
I'd want to believe this was never advertised as a yuri manga.
when it showed up at dynasty scan I thought it was a prank or something, because this was almost certainly looking like a "just a phase" kind of manga.

>>2318094
Like I said, nothing to do with the romance parts or him threatening the yuri. His personality was that of an annoying little prick, his super childish obsession with his sister was creepy as fuck, and every time the guys took up too much screentime it was his fault with the stupid fucking crossdressing gag (is Asakura Lois Lane or something, what the fuck).

>>2318097
Not that I think they have shit taste, but in many instances I'm unable to enjoy the stuff they like or vice versa.

>>2318225
Nope, they asking her if she's gonna marry her boyfriend. She's dating a guy, get over it.

The author obviously wanted to write a yaoi story, but fujos would never jump on board with the love story of some siscon, and the guy in love with who he pretended to be, so she hid it in a yuri manga.

Oh my god. That was amazing. And it was just an assblasted tirade in the first place, so the hideous literal translation job actually does it a favor as far as entertainment value goes.

My money is on oblivious dynastyfag. Gotta be.

what if she's just pretending to be straight

What about the other negative review? Is it from nip or gaijin?

Knowing them, it is laughably plausible that they're still locked in a battle of wits trying to deceive each other to continue their sham of a friendship.

Exactly. This is the same as when /a/ collectively throws a fit when best girl in some shitty harem inevitably loses.
I doubt most people here actually care about what is essentially a device to give some closure to a failed love triangle story, to show she’s over it and not sobbing into her pillow each night. It’s just an easy target to direct rage towards, not anything actually wrong with the series.

I’d honestly be a lot more disappointed if the end either mentioned or implied an unknown girlfriend because that’d be an extremely interesting story I’m going to miss out on. And all I get is the shortest possible summary of its conclusion, as it to rub it in some more that I will never be able to read it. Conclusions can go fuck themselves as far as I’m concerned. The road there is what’s important. An empty paper with nothing but “they were lesbians, the end” on it is not a compelling yuri story.

This pool of vomit you wrote is filled with your naive assumptions on everyone else's perspectives, inconsistent judgments on their reasoned disagreements, and pardons for the story that is in your own words better off ending this way simply because the alternative would have implied that a good story doesn't continue after the final page.

In short, your post is the animal equivalent of a dog who should be taken by the scruff of its neck and have its nose rubbed in the mess it just made. And then told to fuck off. Kindly do so.

>>2318940
Honey, that you don’t realize what you’re doing doesn’t mean I’m not right. You are directing your impotent rage from the whole story at one extremely minuscule aspect of it and if anything obliviousness of one’s actual motives is a prerequisite for impotent rage.
>a single page plot device that alters 1000 pages of known development
Do you even realize how retarded that sounds? Nothing is altered. The pages are all still there in their original form. The truth is that you’ve always hated the series because nothing fucking happens except queen bitch from hell ruining everything (a very valid criticism). You’ve maybe hoped that it will get better, that you might enjoy it more later on, that some sort of turnaround happens to justify the time investment up to this point. And you’re right to hope so, there’s nothing wrong with that. But one last page can’t be that turnaround.
And yes, just concluding with lesbians isn’t a compelling yuri story. Because it isn’t necessarily a yuri story at all. You could print a giant tome with the collected works of Fatalpulse and write “and afterwards they were all lesbians and lived happily ever after” on the final page. That does not make it a compelling yuri work.

You’re obsessing with what happens AFTER a work yet it is fundamentally defined by what happens DURING it. And in Nanashi’s case that’s whole lot of fucking nothing. And that’s fine for some, for others it isn’t. One final page doesn’t change anything about that.

Fatalpulse vanilla yuri doujin when?

>>2318946
Let's say that the final page was the cherry on top of the shit cake. Having MC ending up with a girl wouldn't have made it taste better, but it was like the author decided to beat a dead horse by also pulling the "just a phase" card. Not the anon you're replying to, anyway.

>>2318967
>decided to beat a dead horse
Sorry, I didn't express myself properly. I meant to say that the author decided to rub it in by pulling one of the most - if not the most - hated cliches in yuri, so that's why people reacted so negatively.

>>2318971
Too bad that this was never a yuri manga >>2318096

>>2318979
>story mostly revolves around a love triangle between girls
>"it was never a yuri manga anyway"
What a stupid argument. Even if the author never advertised it as yuri, people obviously would get that impression by reading it.
Also the girl had a crush on another girl and grew out of her lesbian phase in the end. Yuri manga or not, it's an infuriating outcome for anyone who visits this board.

>>2318983
Or maybe she's just bi like Washio and likes girls AND boys.

>>2318946
Holy shit, you doubled down on it. Are you actually incapable of making an argument without forming it as a series of made up presumptions that occurred solely inside your own head? Congratulations, you made up a position that was not evidenced and argued it with yourself. I'll just see myself out while you keep yourself busy.

>>2318983
It is safe to say at this point that logical arguments aren't what they're aiming to make, but whatever it is smells like it runs on huffed paint.

>>2318946
>The truth is that you’ve always hated the series
I think you nailed it here. They are just bitching for the sake of bitching about a story and characters they never gave a shit about. Hell, some of them haven't even read the last volume yet, like the retard who wrote the Amazon review. Don't bother, it's a waste of time

>>2318989
>Are you actually incapable of making an argument
For you it apparently doesn’t even go past that point.

>>2318967
>Let's say that the final page was the cherry on top of the shit cake.
That’s a different way to put it, but essentially what I was saying, yes.

I do find it interesting how this is supposed to be a “dead horse” though. I’m not quite sure yuri manga of what century you’re talking about here, but I see the “it’s just a phase” bogeyman that /u/ constructed more on /u/ than in any sort of actual story by several orders of magnitude. I would have loved to see this manga actually go there and take this trope on seriously (and the more I think about it the more it seems it was really going to, what with the talk about first love that fails) precisely because I don’t know of a lot of works that do this. Especially not ones that could be legitimately called yuri beyond goggle usage. A lot of the hate for this trope probably stems from stories where yuri was never taken seriously in the first place and then the end comes around to confirm again that yes, yuri was never taken seriously.
This simply doesn’t apply here.

>>2318817
Both Kotooka and Tsukasa are the kind of retard who would do something like that. I unironically don't think this is a phase. I think it's Tsukasa being at most bisexual (if not straight up in a relationship with someone she's not attracted to) while simultaneously being a self-denying retard.

>>2318998
>they
>them
There's a whole bunch of different people with a bunch of different opinions in this thread, but you just want to dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as conveniently as possible. In fact, Queen Bitch is the character I emphasised with the most, even if Tsukasa was my favourite, and I was apparently overly optimistic that everyone would get a satisfying story.

The ending of this manga was handled abysmally poorly from a yuri/lesbian aspect, and no insults you can throw at me in lieu of debate or discussion to try and wind me up can change that.

>>2319142
Just to make things clear, did you read the last volume?

>>2319142
>and I was apparently overly optimistic that everyone would get a satisfying story
Yes. It's a love triangle with no clear cut winner from the beginning. Any end to that is going to make at least someone rage.

If anything I’m a bit surprised two of them are actually implied to have ended up together. This is a very lonely end for Tsukasa as it is inevitably lonely for the one left out. It might have been different had the manga had the time to develop a relationship outside the triangle though. Or un-develop for that matter. Any graceful end to a love triangle like this needs to play down the feelings of one of them to not end in full on drama. It might seem strange to do that with the protagonist, but the last chapters make it pretty clear that the author is quite the Kotooka-boo, so Tsukasa was probably intended as a red herring from the beginning.

Just delete this mess of a thread already. Let us never speak of this manga again.

Good review of the final volume.

Is this series going to become a new troll recommendation like Gunjo, Happy End and The Feelings We All Must Endure?

>>2321781
Maybe.

>>2321781
I feel like I'm the only person left alive who still likes this series.

>>2322402
Ignore the kids throwing a tantrum, it looks like last volume sold pretty well and most people liked it.

>>2322693
I feel like it's more a matter of what kind of expectations you had going in and I had basically none, whereas most people in /u/ are, well, pretty particular about things..

>>2318983
And Genshiken Nidaime was a BL because the story revolved around two guys' homolust, right? No, retarded fuck, it wasn't, just like this wasn't a yuri.
