I know I told everyone to be careful about which interpretation of yuri to use for this show before—
Ignore me. Go off. An explosion? That's just text, not subtext. They're in love and if I get hurt, fine.
I'd love for this story to be romantic yuri, but-
Reminder that the term "yuri" is used differently in Japan and can mean close female relationships as well as romance. Japan uses "GL" when specifically talking about romance. We've all been hurt plenty, be careful.
So the Newtype Global magazine at Anime Expo actually has an interview for Goodbye, Lara
The creator says he wrote the relationship between the two female leads to be more complex and not fall into some of the tropes commonly found in your average trope-driven yuri series 🧐
@LezBeShipper Can you blame my trepidation? There have been too many times where I've read something that had two women on the cover looking intimate and being intimate the whole story only to end up with a dude.
Yuri means romance OR close female relationships in Japanese. Please don't get too excited. I want this to be romance as much as you guys, but please taper your expectations. We've been hurt too many times.
@BandgusSol Yeah, it's tough because language is a constantly evolving beast. And then factor in a single word being used in two different languages? There's going to be a disconnect.
(screeching) I LITERALLY DON'T GET IT?! WHY ARE- IS THAT IT?! YOU'RE DUOING WITH THE RYZE! YOU'RE THE CULPRIT! YOU'RE THE PROBLEM! WHY?! FOR WHAT?! WHY AM I THE ONE GETTING FLAMED FOR THIS?! IT'S INSANE THAT I'M GETTING THE BLAME FOR THIS!! IT'S HIM!!! WHY ME?!
Man, this is so freaking bad. How did we let this happen? Why did I get flame pinged?! It's clearly his fault!!!(Spam pings Ryze) No matter how you spin it, it's his fault!!! Why'd you ping me?! No matter how you look at it, it's the 1/10/0 Ryze's fault! Why am I getting pinged?!
