But seriously now. How do we turn the whole world yuri? It's about damn time.

We used to have a fancy full-course meal at a restaurant on our last day of vacation, but instead I read like three manga and a good few hours of Please be Happy today and then cooked spaghetti for my wife and me. And no restaurant in the world could have put that smile she had on her face.

Okay for real, that song won me over. If that game's half as much fun it'll already be worth it!

You got any of that going through time using blood magic yuri as well? 👉👈

I can already tell that this is going to be an amazing series. I literally could not stop smiling and laughing throughout the first volume!

Tatsächlich ist geplant, dass ich nächsten Juli zur AnimagiC in Mannheim mitkomme! Bis dahin gibt's dann auch tatsächlich etwas mehr Handfestes, wenn die Sachen ihren Release hatten.

Es war eine große Ehre, die deutsche Übersetzung dieser Geschichte schreiben zu dürfen! Lamis und Nikos Abenteuer ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes und ich hoffe, dass die deutschsprachigen Leser*innen sie so genießen können, wie Sensei es sich vorgestellt hat!

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

Especially when those proficiency tests are about comprehension rather than conversational skills.

Das Original hat um die 215 000 Wörter und ist damit fast doppelt so lang wie meine bisher längste Übersetzung von Salome's Kiss, also ... gebt uns ein paar Monate. :3 Es lohnt sich, versprochen.

@kolulu.itch.io hat mir gestattet, eine deutsche Lokalisierung von Operation Eventide anzufertigen! Eine extrem vielschichtige Bodyhorror-aber-auch-Slice-of-Life-mit-Yuri-und-Mahou-Shoujo-Story mit philosophischem Einschlag, die man gelesen haben muss, um sie zu glauben. Freut euch drauf!

I'mma seriously have to drop it after #17. I don't care about half of these people who all just repeat the same old jokes. It's obvious coolkyousinnjya just wants to draw cute monster girls and boobs, so Mononoke Sharing's the title that should have gotten this trajectory. Shame being so stuck now.

Whenever I pick up a new Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid manga I've already forgotten who all these characters are, why they're all related to each other and what they were up to in the meantime. This series has become so convoluted, it's a prime example for this comic.

Oof, do *I* have a girl boner for Bazu from Noman or what? How can one character tick all my boxes like that? She's practically Kuroko from Murcielago without being a completely obnoxious dickwad.

Man, we really live in a timeline where I don't know what's worse anymore.

But can it still be tagged this way if they went out of their way to erase any and all hints towards Yuri in the end? I'm even starting to think this might have been an intentional middle finger to Yuri fans.

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 22/09/2026

I'm now inclined to congratulate but I don't want to make things worse.

In a time where lesbian art is under enormous pressure to be accommodating to the heterosexual view, shrinking it until it's invisible is just not interesting to me. We should be louder, and prouder, and refuse to go down without showing the complex and beautiful lives of sapphic love.

Then the ending took all of that away without need or explanation. Nothing was left and love was never talked about again. It's a fuck you to the overlying theme that made you care about the show. It's like the Force being outlawed after blowing up the Death Star. Like the Muppets going blackface.

020

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 21/09/2026

Love also can come in many forms, shapes and people. It even led to one of the greatest anime lines of the year - "fuck the rules and live for love". The theme was practically shoved down our throats. Everyone was waiting for this show's grand conclusion on what love is.

120

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 21/09/2026

After a good night's pondering (that show really did a number on me) I now know what struck me as so odd in #sayonaralara 's ending. The theme of the show was love all along - Lara finding love, the premise being an unrequited love, love being destructive and bitter and healing, love, love, love.

120

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

Yeah, it was actually blatantly obvious, so I always thought the premise was if this would change eventually. Obvs not.

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

"ohg riraghnyyl gur gjb bs gur qrpvqr gb or va n eryngvbafuvc gung vf obgu naq arvgure ebznagvp naq cyngbavp" Yes, that's *exactly* the vibe I was getting from that story. 🤭

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I always expected it to be more yuri than slice-of-life, my mistake then.

100

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

Does anything actually happen in that story at some point? I read like the first five volumes and dropped it because I felt that nothing at all changes in their relationship. I'm really asking out of curiosity.

How to salvage Sayonara Lara in three easy steps: 1. Set a timer to 18:12, then start episode 12 2. When the timer goes off, close the player 3. Reminisce about what an insightful, wholesome show that was

Thank you for your righteous anger. I wasn't quite sure what to feel about this conclusion until a few minutes ago, but you're pretty much on the right track. It sucked.

Nah, if trans-coding was what they went for, not only would it have been rushed, but as a trans person in Japan, I wouldn't go to Kobe after coming out, I'd fucking *leave Japan*. Or stay with the people who love and adore me after I literally just beat *another* society. That just can't be it.

120

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

Ikr? Like, what am I to relate to? Lara practically transitioned – that I can relate to. She learned that love isn't het-coded – been there. Hell, she went against society's ruleset and found a place to belong – that's me in a nutshell. But then, *this*. As if I misread the whole premise entirely.

130

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

As emotional as this tale was, I feel like crying after watching its conclusion more that ever before just because I feel *so* left out. As if this was made for an entirely different audience than me. It left me estranged. It left me numb after all the heartache I felt over its course.

160

Cleo H. @thecleo.de · 20/09/2026

Nope, don't agree with that ending to Sayonara Lara one bit. I can't believe that *this* is it. Maybe one day I'll read a lengthy discourse about why this story is extremely relevant to queerness in Japan specifically and then I'll be able to get it, but for now, I'm just... at a total loss.

Hard draw between Link's Awakening (Game Boy) and Mega Man X (SNES). I've been fiddling around with the Amiga 500 and other Game Boy titles prior, but those two will forever be the first video games I fell in love with.

Inzwischen ist es passiert – die Yurico-Palette bei Dokico trägt jetzt mehrheitlich (in einigen Fällen ab Band 2) meinen Namen im Übersetzungs-Credit. Dabei ist erst ein Titel davon draußen! Da kommt also noch so viel geiles Zeug. Ist „Yuri-Beauftragte“ ein passender Titel für den Briefkopf? :3
