| what the fuck last i read it was only on the second volume like a year ago... 3 volumes only? oh well at least hayate blade will go on forever |
| oh..... im probably the only one who isn't sad that it ended... in fact, i'm content because ran and julia are together and that photographer and the model (forgot their names) are together as well i am a little disappointed though.. we didn't get to see some Kaoru and Saeke action except for that new year's special bondage... lawl but yeah.. i guess it was very unexpected for them to end the manga like that |
Nice guys finish last That's why I'll treat you like trash. It's not what I really want to do. But you only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best try to Treat you the way you want me to. -KevNigChes Collaboration |
| 2 vols that is really short... I might check it out I just wish it was anime I prefer anime over manga. xD |
 |
| It was an out-of-the-blue kind of ending and it felt rushed but it did pair them up in the end. So it's all good ^^. But I did wish to see more Rena and Sera somewhere instead of that small note in the epilogue ><. But yeah, I'm also reading Hayate X Blade and loving it. It really is strange that an anime has not been made of it yet (I would Love to see it), considering Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto only have a few volumes out and they are the ones being made into anime. Hmm....but of course there are a lot of manga I would like to see in anime form that probably never happen. |

| Well women to women relationship really doesn't sit well with the traditionally male-dominant Japanese society. If you take a look at all the anime with shoujo ai theme, most of them are based off of relatively short work, and virtually none of them was given sufficient budget (not even comparing to high-profile anime). |
| Well I can see that but I don't agree with that completely. It is true that the society is not all that friendly towards those relationships, but that also includes all homosexual relationships. But, I believe, that really goes for what is seen in public and real life. They are much more explorative with anime and manga than they would ever be in real life. Plus there is the matter of how popular yaoi is and how much more prevalent it is than yuri. I would think men would be much more squeamish with that then with yuri. But hey, I don't know for sure. As for the anime, I'm not sure. It's true that those series aren't very long, but isn't it more in fashion now to have one or two season anime coming out? The only ones I can think of that are really long are the ones that are geared toward children or teens (Dragon Ball Z, Inu Yasha, Naruto, Bleach). I just think it kind of varies. For the budget thing....I have no clue, lol. It usually isn't an issue with me unless it's badly done. ^_^ |

| Regarding anime adaptations, I have hardly seen anything over 2 volumes being adapted for yuri. Most other anime, while staying confined to the two season limit, seems to be based on multi-volume manga or some length visual novel. I still think that Japanese tend to stay off the subject of homosexuality when it comes to ANY medium but that's just me. |
| I'm still struggling to finish the manga, which I find so boring and uninteresting, so I would care if it never gets adapted.

Also aren't we getting 3 yuri anime adaptations this Summer, so I don't think the Japanese are afraid of homosexuality... especially when it comes to yaoi. ^_^ |

| well yea it's the 21st century.... what's the straight-to-gayanime ratio pre-2000? only one i can remember off top of my head is utena, which isn't even the focus of the anime |
tehnominator said: You certainly raised an interesting point there and damn! I love your analogies. ^_^Actually, they're just as receptive of it as most anybody else in a developed nation. Real homosexual stuff doesn't really get accepted. Yaoi and yuri caters to fans of the genres. It's all mostly about high school romances as well, or it's a side dish to the main story. |

| Traditionally, Shoujo Ai is considered a phase developed by girls sometimes late in their high school years. It is generally assumed that this is more of a craving for an elder sister that one will eventually grow out of, presumably before graduating. Maria-sama ga Miteru is considered by many as a "pure" Shoujo Ai anime, yet even the series cannot escape reflecting this societal view in general. All of the above is paraphrased from one of my imaginary acquaintances, though it is also likely one of my teachers in the Japanese classes I took in college. Don't ask me how we arrived at the topic.... |
| er I used the term "shoujo-ai" because that's the pronounciation of the kanji. It means roughly "girl love" |
| You mean within the context of a community of non-mainstream genre of a niche group of television watchers. I wouldn't pay too much mind :D In all fairness, the concept isn't simply derived by Western fans. Traditionally, lesbianism has been thought of as a passing phase within the male-dominant Japanese society. |
| To kinda get back on topic... I am EXTREMELY disappointed that SSS is over. The ending was kinda lame and rushed which is too bad because the author didnt give it the love and respect that it deserved IMO. That being said it was very funny and cute and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Its going to be in my top 5 manga for a very long time I suspect. |
 |
| Just finished it yesterday. It's such an amazing manga so it's sad to see that it's so short. I'm content with it though because the ending it had was good, in my opinion. I'm just happy to have come across and read a yuri manga that was actually a fairly good length and had a great storyline to it. |
 |
| Sorry im on chapter 4 and so far this is so boring... |
|
| Maybe she got the fat free version? The one I had was full of sugar and i gained 5 kilos reading it. |
|
| lol I just don't like it, It can't keep my attention at all.. .when does teh story get interesting? And I really HATE the way the artist put the manga panels.... some of those pages irritate me. |
|
| I really liked the manga until the last chapter. Ruined everything. This chapter was so... stupid, unbelievable. |
  |
| Personally, I loved it. The manga was addictive, fun and wasn't so full of drama that I wanted to throw my computer out the window. |
| Lol the Drama is fun!! If there is no drama... its.. *cough* boring *cough* It isn't even cute from the 4 chapters I read... just sorta... there. xD |
|
| The ending didn't occur to me at that time since their relationship were going smooth and I'm kinda expecting something more from where they're going to take it into. Like what Saeki fear the most. Haha! It was a fun ride and wtf ending it like all of a sudden. |
 |
| Let me overflow this thread with a new, big wave of pure depression. I wouldn't even mind to read a complete volume that only consists of Ran and Julia sitting on the bed and encourage each other to take the first step. SSS is so god-damn funny. If you think it's not, then... then... something is just simply wrong with you! xD Some of the funniest scenes: |
| I'm re-reading it now. It has very quickly swapped places with Hayate X Blade to be back on my favourites list. Really, what was I thinking?! "What in the world are you, appearing out of nowhere and frankly, accurately guessing peoples personal information?!" D: Ah, Zlay. I should have been a rockstar; but I can't sing (yay, points if you get the reference). The end was very much "...whut?" but on the bright side at least it wasn't generic. |

| ashi-chan: Alrighty. o_o I learned alot here today. I LOooove the manga. I'm soo Sad it ended. But atleast they were together in the end.^^ It would be really Awesome if they came out with more chapters O.O.........*Dream......* |
| Whats sad is, you could trust a complete stranger more then your best friend A forbidden love is all i desire: cause when its forbidden...its real. |
