| Episode 5 offers a lot of material for this theory but also a lot against it. I wont play the asshole who rips it apart :D |
Yup. Two dead/imaginary girls. |

| Al the "death call" is a little creepy, and gives more chance to the theory to be true.... Nevertheless, the reactin of he class mate "they are lin the oher team" sugest that yukari and yuzuku are real.... Well see what hepens next |
| :P although i believe this is totally fake, if it was like the likability of it for me would go up some so i'm watching it with this plot in mind from now on... |
| I'm still not buying the puppet theory but... it appears that there is at least an interesting dark undertone to the series that sets it apart from other simple slice of lifes. Will see if we get a Usual Suspects ending or if that was just a reference like those we've had to Saint Seya Omega etc. |
| Man, how I regreted checking this topic out T_T. I would be so emotional if any of this is true. |
| The OP uses "generic" in his post. Does he mean it as something negative? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I guess he just pointed out the lack of originality. |

Indeed! I find Yuyushiki a very unique slice-of-life for this reason. This and the focus on the tsukkomi character. Most SoL (at least the ones I watched) make the innocent girl (like Hidamari Sketch's Yuno, Azumanga Daioh's Chiyo), the weird girl (like K-ON's Yui, Chuunibyou's Rikka) or the playful girl (YuruYuri's Kyouko) as the main, or focused character. While in these series the tsukkomi only role is to be part of the main cast and make tsukkomi for the boke character, here the focus is all on Yui, a tsukkomi character with not only one, but two kinds of boke girls who loves to tease her. And to add more, even the supporting cast focus on her If there's another slice-of-life like this, please tell me, I would love to watch it. |
| Holy moly. This is really cool. |

I got a little dizzy reading that... |
| Yui i trust you i will never betray you they are all baka to believe that my yui is a crazy u_u |
 |
| Funny yet it may have dark undertones.... Makes the show even better xD |

| I think puppet theory has too many flaws at this point, but here are some thoughts on episode 6 nonetheless: For puppet theory: Against puppet theory: |

| I hope this turns out to be true. I've tried to watch these types of shows just for the hell of it, to see if it does anything for me and they've all been quite boring, even the popular ones. I've liked this one very much and if this kind of twist happens that would be amazing. |

I've liked this one very much and if this kind of twist happens that would be amazing. Don't keep your hopes up. We are already half way trought, and fir the preview the chapter 7 will be as normal as the others. For a deconstruction to happen it has to be triggered half way trought the series and... is not hapening. Tbh i'm a little disapointed it turned iut to be false, it was interresting while it lasted. But now, it too late for it to happen. |
Zaraquiel99 said: What. Why? /ignores disclaimer For a deconstruction to happen it has to be triggered half way trought the series and... is not happening. I don't disagree that it is probably fake, but only insofar as any interpretation can be "fake" when talking about art. I think 'unconvincing' would be a better word. |

| Having gone through 5 books of the manga... But I will do a more thorough reading soon in case I missed anything. I was chatting with the mangaka on twitter this morning about where to pick up and start reading Manga Time KR magazine after where book 5 leaves off (the answer is the April issue) so I can ask if there are deeper themes under the "girls in school slice of life" manga they have written. I won't flat out ask if they are puppets as I don't want to look that silly LOL Edit: actually I lied, I don't have the first book yet since it is back ordered so I am going by books 2-5. |

In response to your comment, I do have the first volume of the manga but I haven't had the time to properly read it. If you want a preview though: With enough requests, I might also work on the manga if you guys are seriously interested. |

I swear, they're doing it on purpose... |

alexpte said: We may all know Yuyushiki as another generic moe series for us to watch casually. But after compiling some data, we may have to look at Yuyushiki at a whole new perspective. Meet Yui, the main blonde-haired protagonist of the series. She is the only level-headed person in the trio of friends. But why is that? BECAUSE HER OTHER TWO FRIENDS YUZUKO AND YUKARI DOESN'T EXIST. In episode two, we see Yui holding imitation puppets of Yukari on the right and Yuzuko on the left. Throughout the anime, these positions of the "real" people never change, when they're walking, shopping, or whatever. This insinuates that Yui is a lonely person, therefore talks to these puppets and giving them names similar to hers. Also, there are commonly dream-like auras during the series, the fluffy white borders. This can be her dream state, perhaps a relapse of memories before a traumatic incident that caused her hallucinations. Okaa-san, actually a school nurse, lets Yui use the Data Entry Club alone in order for her to forget her past for a while. Okaa-san also uses the whiteboard in order to figure out Yui's current train of thought. There are only two computers because there were never three people: just Yui and occasionally Okaa-san. Another fact to point out: Her name is Yui Ichii, in English, if ignoring the correct Japanese characters for "Ichii," would translate to "only one." Also, if we take the title "Yuyushiki," again ignoring the correct Japanese spelling, it would translate to "evening demon." And of course, these puppets are the only "people" in the series with unnatural hair color in a realistic point of view. Is this all speculation? Pretty much. But I'd like to see this happen, with the last few episodes revealing Yui's mental trauma. A nice plot twist for those bored of the generic moe genre. Larger picture EPISODE 3 UPDATE EPISODE 4 UPDATE EPISODE 5 UPDATE EPISODE 6 UPDATE MANGA OTHER The only response possible for this mess of insanity  Note: i post this in line with the context of the thread and its content, don't take it too heart. |
| Well I didn't read the whole Thread but I don't know how you can justify that Yuzuko and Yukari can speak with Okâ-san in Episode 7^^ |

| I think you missed something in episode 3, sorry if it's already mentioned but: |

| You could also say that those scenes play out in Yui's mind, who imagines her puppets having their own lives. You can't really disprove or prove any theory, but you can argue about the strength (and puppet theory is pretty weak, as I think we can all agree). |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I almost fell from my chair when I got to this part: When we're seeing it from the main trio's perspective, Yuzuko and Yukari are there with Yui and Aikawa, but once we are listening to the other girls' conversation, we no longer see the two imaginary friends. |

| In episode 9 Yukari talks with girls other than Yui and Yuzuko in the hall while Yui and Yuzuko are in the classroom. But then the doll scene from manga volume 1 is shown in the previous for episode 10... |
| AS much as I wanted this theory to be canon,I actually don't care about it anymore. Sorry,alexpte I am starting to love the show for what it is. Still,it sounds cool:) |
 |
| Pretty impressive theory. |
