Wait, this is from the creator of Loveless...? Great, just great. Even the yaoi greats have betrayed us yaoi fans for yuri. Ugh.

When I see betrayals like this left and right...I don't think I can shut up.

I was thinking of buying Loveless to support Kouga...now, after this betrayal, I'm not so sure on that.

Yes, because Loveless totally didn't have a prominent yuri couple among all the gay boys.

Seriously you are such an entitled little shit over this.

He's acting EXACTLY like the people that were whining about KyoAni making Free.

Does it ever get exhausting or confusing, hating such bizarre things so very much?

Yuri and yaoi fans should never be fighting or begrudging the other side. Yaoi has been and still is a much larger enterprise than yuri, so talk of a "betrayal" from the former to the latter is especially absurd. Artists do not pick one side or the other, they very often do both, because they like, support, and get their livelihood from both. Follow their example please.

+1. Lots of yaoi artists work in other genres. The creator of Sensitive Pornograph, for example, is also the creator of Sekirei.

Looks like a new anime with some yuri potential. May as well pick this up.

No, because betrayals like this are distressingly common it seems.

Then why does Yuri keep stealing our best artists? Huh? Can you give me an answer to that?

What example? Betraying any fans we have?

You need to tone it down. If you keep being so obvious in your trolling then eventually people are going to start ignoring you. I can't fathom why they haven't done so already.

I'm not trolling. I'm very sorry if you are incapable of realizing that other people have different opinions than you, but that doesn't stop other opinions from existing.

There is no answer because you're asking a loaded question. As I already said - and you apparently tuned out - there is a huge overlap when it comes to yaoi and yuri, and notable artists on one of the two have almost always worked extensively on the other as well. There is no "stealing" of artists because the genres are not the mutually exclusive antagonistic forces you have invented in your own mind. Unfortunately, it seems there's no reasoning with your persecution complex.

You are aware that Yaoi/BL is a way, way bigger market than Yuri/GL, right?

Yuri teasing in otaku shows aside, there is way more honest to god yaoi manga than yuri manga.

Also, Kouga Yun has done both yuri and yaoi, frequently in the same work.

First Kill La Kill, now this? And this looks to possibly be legit yuri?

Don't let me down, Japan!
