| Everything about these girls is strictly platonic, not romantic, why the GL tag then? I still enjoy the drama a lot, I like this show, but I feel completely misled. With only 2 episodes to go, there's likely not gonna be any romance. Is this a case of romance forming down the line in the far future? Still wouldn't excuse this season getting the GL tag, but would make a bit more sense. |

It’s definitely a stardust telepath/Akebi’s sailor uniform situation as in the GL is just not really gonna be touched on until much later in the story. Sure it’s unfortunate but I don’t mind this anime’s amazing |
| I read the manga (not all the way through, i dropped it) some obsession triangle thing that's going on afaict MC thinks the sea monster is pretty, monsters say the MC "smells yummy" very gay coded but it's safe to assume they'll toe that line fairly carefully I think there's a confession that happens At Some Point because that's definitely the way it's leading or if i had to guess they'll just suddenly start shouting the word love around while they're fighting over her because that's basically all they've been doing and that's usually how these go it gets GL like any series which is primarily about girls obsessing over each other who are not related probably does If i had to guess they do kiss eventually any cuddling is going to be strictly platonic and definitely no nibbling that's right out |

| Yeah, this is pretty far from actual GL. Still, a good and entertaining show imo. |

Didn't this also had "horror" tag? I don't see it anymore.
| @baymaxemon safe to say that one's not coming back |
| my stupid little take is this the series is basically just about the tragic backstory wilting violet MC getting mothered and treated possessively and dogwalked around by a superhuman who is keeping her around as food and sometimes her superhuman fights another superhuman over her that's the formula as seen before i mean the whole premise was, i'm going to eat you, but not right now because you want to die and that somehow makes you not tasty, so i'm going to make it so you don't want to die, and then i'm definitely gonna for sure eat you and it's safe to say at the end she's going to be like 'wow this is great i don't want to die anymore at all thanks i owe you my life so i guess it is yours to have are you sure you're gonna eat me nooo ahaha youre so pretty' and the sea monster is gonna be like "oh definitely not i love you now and as a matter of fact i loved you the whole time duh and that's why i did this" and they finally kiss the end and that doesn't work if at some point before then the sea monster says, "you know actually i kind of like you so if you wanna like go out and stuff" because we don't eat the people we like??? and we probably don't ask out the people who said they're just keeping us around to eat us so that's about as overt as the romance can go until that story beat - the entire premise - gets resolved that's the narrative corner this thing has written itself in to ...actually im gonna pick it back up no shut up dont say anything i just have to remember why i stopped in the first place and then i'm definitely gonna drop it again. for sure. |

| Damn it, they got us with the Yuri bait lol |
| https://www.honeyfeed.fm/u/34774/novels Why must the products of man trouble me so? |
| FAKE YURI FAN SPOTTED π₯ Its shameful to be like that π₯π₯π₯ Does yuri mean only hardcore sesbian lex to you? If so, you are a fake yuri fan and you should be banned in community. A true yuri fan enjoys the little things: conversations, the way girls look at each other, first touches and the slightest romantic hints. Hardcore sesbian lex is good, but true yuri is also about more subtle and sensual emotions, and thats why i love this genre so much. Yuri romance is much more subtle and sensual than hetero romance. And in terms of subtle yuri hints, this anime is fantastic: mermaid and fox are truly in love with Hinako, spend time with her, sometimes hold hands, help her have a good time and not think about the bad. I mean yes, there was a yuri kiss in 12 episode, but since it wasnt shown in close-up, it probably wont be interesting to someone like you π₯π₯π₯ Again: im not afraid of yuri ecchi and erotica, i love it, but i can also enjoy more sublte works that dont have any erotica at all. And this is exactly that kind of anime. True yuri fans can enjoy even non-yuri works, as long as theres chemistry between the girls. So either improve yourself or leave the GL community. |

Well they did kiss in the new episode, you are a fool for not waiting until the season ends before judging it.
Lisa0u said: Well they did kiss in the new episode, you are a fool for not waiting until the season ends before judging it. damn it, they got me. Though I wouldn't say it was anything romantic knowing her character, must be a very slow burn romance. I doubt we're ever getting season 2, but I like it, so I might have to pick up the manga x_scolopendra_x said: FAKE YURI FAN SPOTTED π₯ Its shameful to be like that π₯π₯π₯ Does yuri mean only hardcore sesbian lex to you? If so, you are a fake yuri fan and you should be banned in community. yap Take your meds. It literally seems like you're projecting the way this is what you drew from what I wrote. Textbook surface level romance enjoyer behavior. What you're yappin about is exactly what's missing here, subtle yuri bait. There's only atomic level of non-platonic affection in this show and even for that you have to reach very hard Even the kiss this episode, it's very hard to consider that even yuri bait if you were paying attention to the show in the 11 other episodes. If girls caring about each other counts as yuri bait then 99% of anime could be named that. Shows like hibike, now that's actual yuri bait. If a show falls short even in terms of yuri BAIT, then it absolutely shouldn't have GL tag and that's the end of it. If in your brain this translates to "I WANT TO SEE THEM KISS AND SCISSOR" then that's a you problem, do better. |
| Definitely mistagged, but great show nonetheless. |
*kappa* |
| It's one of the most yuri shows I've ever watched, it doesn't need to be explicit.There's a constant tension that never resolves. |
 |
| i've been known to be wrong on occasion |
Our boy Ishinashi at it again.... |
  |
| @griddyweeb lets be honest It's just another pseudo Yuri we can always tell whether it's real Yuri or not from 1-3 episodes |
| I mean this episode explains why from Shiori's pov. Not all love have to be sexual attraction. |

I think we need to say that this is a slow-burn story.
Just because something is a slow burn doesn't mean it is "yuri bait", especially when it is labelled by the author itself as a yuri work.
(not like other series where people call it yuri when it was never labelled as one by the author...some people call everything yuri...)
It just wouldn't make sense to put her in a romantic relationship for more than one reason.
That girl is not even ready to fall in love. Her only dream is to die…
So, that said, just let her resolve those problems before the yuri/romance. :D

| @Teshika94 absolutely, slow burn IS girls love, no question about that. What bothers me is that if there's not gonna be any romance in these 13 episodes, why label it GL? Different seasons are different entries, it would be better practice not to label the first season GL if there's none, and label the second seasons GL if there is (not like I'd expect a second season) |

| @LeonhartAugust what do you even mean |
| You know this is an adaptation, right? Sometimes people are very strange; they want everything to be revealed in the first season, right up to the ending, regardless of the genre. Even an original project can't always do that, let alone an adaptation of a manga or light novel, especially if it's 12 episodes. |
| The 3 girls love each other a LOT! That's some real yuri right there. Aren't they high school first years? What are you expecting? Ok only 1 is an actual schoolgirl & the other two are actually a century or 3 old, but still! I love the manga and the anime! An amazing adaptation, they got everything good from the manga onto the screen. |

| @griddyweeb Because it's the correct tag, and its the job of this site to correctly tag its entries. The Manga is Yuri. The show is Yuri. There is no argument about this. |

@x_scolopendra_x i still dont see anyone in that show being romanticaly in love. They feel like family and not like lovers.
I dont need lesbian sex to call something yuri.
But at least for now in tge first 12 episodes this all seems more platonic than anything else

| @Wrathberry84 It doesn't matter what you "feel" about it. The Manga is officially tagged and marketed as Yuri in Japan. It It girls love. It's romantic. |

| @-Knox- the work might yuri in the grand scheme of things, but if the first 12 episodes don't involve any of that, then it shouldn't be tagged as such, that's why we have different entries for different seasons. That's like the whole point of the thread dude |
| You know, love is more than kissing. |
| I imagine it could be either one of these things. 1. The work this anime is based off is tagged GL so MAL decided to tag the adaptation as Gl. 2. It could be similar to anime such as Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable or Adachi and Shimamura where the entire anime is spent building up the relationship of the two main characters with multiple romantic scenes between the two characters only for them to never confess to each other in the end. It could also be a slow burn too where they confess in the last episode. |
| haven't seen it but seems like forgettable trash, like most anime |

@griddyweeb I would agree with you when this series is not labelled as a Yuri show.
But it is, my friend.
As I said to you before, to take that tag out would:
First: it is a lie because it is labelled as a yuri.
and
Second: people would get mad when they read the manga and then know it is Yuri, but they hate Yuri and don't want to read stuff like that.
(It reminds me of the discussion with Watanare, who a lot of people were really mad at that the harem tag was not in. (because they don't want to see a harem) And that show was always a harem show because it is labelled as one.)
And I don't think that Watatabe will ever have another season, so it is better to let that tag be who it is.
For the last:
Japanese people have another way of thinking about love; it is not the Western thinking, and we need to accept it or understand it.
And please just have respect for the author who says it is what it is. :)

| @Teshika94 is it really that hard to understand that the entire issue here is that these 13 episodes are labeled GL based on the entire manga? Really, I can't help you. Also if people would want to read on after the anime concludes they're free to check out the tags of the manga (or even before picking up the anime altogether), this is a non-issue |

| @StarBloom_64 it's definitely the first, adashima was obviously GL even if no confession or anything like that happened, everything about it was romantic, this show is the polar opposite where everything is platonic |

| @Zarutaku I’m not saying they are not in love, I’m just saying that they never end up kissing or confessing to each other despite having feelings for each other from what I’ve seen. Sure there are scenes where the characters are about to kiss or do something romantic but it always end up interrupted by something. |
| If this anime really deserves the GL tag, then Liz to Aoi Tori does as well. |
