I think the best way to describe kumiko and reinas relationship would be akward friends who tend to embarrass each other unknowingly and I think the way to stop this arguement is to simply check the genres as there is no yuri or shoujo ai tag so there will not be any. ...and some still thinks that tags can change.... -__- LOL |

I'm hoping for a Shuuichi/Kumiko ending. |

destructo22 said: lol watch episode 8Nope. Not at all. I'm not saying names, but there are people that are blowing this out of proportion. |
| As the yuri intensifies, the plot thickens. If you know what I mean. But you know what, it's fine really. Even if KyoAni doesn't go full blown shoujo ai yuri on us, the doujinshi artists will probably have us covered. |
| Are you people kidding? This is totally Shoujo Ai. Maybe it wasn't very clear when this topic was created, but if you have seen Episode 8 and still do not see Shoujo Ai, then you have to be blind. |

| Just another little spoiler from tumblr: |
 |
| Well until now it was really just yuri-fans daydreaming, but this episode played the thing quite a bit. Still thinking it's only a tease even more since so little episodes remain for all the plot (audition/contest). It looks a bit like MC girl & his childhood friend will still end together, by Kousaka acts & talks. Especially since the novels have 0 of all these yuri things that we get to see. |

the sad thing is that i doubt kyoani would ever go down the shoujo ai route, and the only hints of shoujo ai we'll have are undertones. |
| I hope not. Kumiko and Reina's relationship is more better in platonic rather than romantic and the romance in this series is more a sub-plot. I would not mind it but my future ship will sunk so yeah. And it doesn't have to be romantic after all, a friendship can be stronger and deeper than romantic love sometimes. It could be applied to them. |

Remember that it's a regular novel, not a light novel, so you need to actually be proficient in Japanese to read it. EXACTLY! From what friends of mine who are learning Japanese have told me, one of the hardest parts of the language is that the way you say things like "He ate", "She ate", "I ate", and "They ate" are all, essentially, identical. You have to take the surrounding context, and, in spoken word, sometimes nonverbal cues, into account to determine the actual subject of the statement. I know I have read many, many translations where a person who is new to the language translated something as someone saying something like "I like her" when a more experienced translator chimed in and corrected it to "She likes me". It is possible to get things entirely wrong just by missing the context. (For all we know the statements that could be more like Not that I expect that to be the case, but That said, could there be a reason that KyoAni is so obviously enhancing the Yuri aspects of the early story, at least according to people who have read parts of the first book? Perhaps it is because the yuri happens later in the story and they are foreshadowing it because they don't want it to seem to have come out of nowhere? Who knows. I think it is clear that the story, as told by KyoAni, IS shoujo ai at the very least. There is no denying that after episode 8. It doesn't matter if they end up together or not, the story content is still there. |

I would not mind it but my future ship will sunk so yeah. And it doesn't have to be romantic after all, a friendship can be stronger and deeper than romantic love sometimes. It could be applied to them. Actually, if their relationship seems to blur the line between friendship and romance, it might be more realistic than many standard romance plots. This quote from Rose Bridges, who, among other things, is a reviewer for the daily streaming reviews at ANN and also a bisexual woman, is about the way that the depictions of lesbian relationships in Yuri Kuma Arashi rang true for her, partly because of the way the story blurred that line... Rose_Bridges said: Another thing is the way that it blurs the line between friendship and romance. I’ve seen a lot of criticism for that but I think it’s absolutely intentional and ties in with the show’s themes, and it’s also something particular to the queer female experience (as in, it’s less true for gay and bisexual men, since the line between “platonic” and “romantic” affection with guys more strictly enforced). Even here, where we don’t have the weird Class S baggage per se that Japanese culture has about lesbians, female friendships can be very affectionate and it’s often hard to know if your interest in another girl crosses that line–and easily to deny it if it does. I had an inkling even at 13 that how I felt about certain other girls–being unable to stop looking at them in class, fantasizing about being close to them, feeling this powerful yearning to be around them all the time–was not that different from my crushes on boys. But because I didn’t want to believe it, it was easy to pretend it was just a “strong friendship” feeling. Which I think Yurikuma captures well with the way that all these girls who are clearly in love with each other keep referring to their girlfriends as “my special friend” or “best friend” or whatever. So, at least from the perspective of one person with experience, a story where a couple seems to have a very close friendship and both seem to have "more than friend" feelings for each other, yet they don't cross the line to openly dating, possibly even after some "more than friend" type of activity has occurred, wouldn't necessarily be unrealistic... But that is probably totally off topic, eh? LOL Imeon said: Just hear the readers who read the book. That's the problem. The majority of the quotes I have seen have come from people saying things like, "I've read most of the first book" or "I'm in the middle of the 2nd book", or "I got the third book and read the ending and the epilogue". I have yet to see any quotes from people that have actually read past part of book 2. The "I read the epilogue" one is particularly troublesome, since that is comes from as well as If you haven't read the rest of the book, how can you make statements about what it says in the epilogue? |

| I doubt it'll be anything canon or explicitly shown on the show since that doesn't seem to be the center conflict of the series plot itself, but it'll be probably hinted at or shown subtly, so at least we can ship KumikoxReina in peace, lol. I guess I might actually prefer it that way after the whole *spoiler* LoK disaster final and the underdeveloped way it was handled. |
| Honestly, I hope it does end up going differently than the novel and introducing them as a gay pairing. I can't say I've ever seen a "shoujou ai" pairing done this well. Heck, calling it Shoujo Ai seems to reduce the importance of all of their scenes as most of episode 8 didn't even look like "Shoujou Ai"; it was far more like a serious, mature, lesbian love story. It was all extremely respectfully done, mature, and on-par or better than many romantic scenes in actual KyoAni straight pairings. I will seriously be disappointed if it turns out all of this goes nowhere and KyoAni forces those horrible relationships on these lovely characters. (Taki x Reina and Kumiko x Shuichi) I've never been so excited to see such a natural budding romance in an anime, let alone a non-comedic relief Yuri pairing like this. Please KyoAni... Let this all work out. Shuichi is a great guy n' all, but I really don't want Kumiko to start liking him out of nowhere. She has no interest in him and is completely infatuated with Reina. |

gnodab said: Fuck me I should have picked this after the show ended. I'm very prone to spoilers. First things first, put that in spoilers! Not everyone wants open discussion of future aspects of the story. Second, the novels are ongoing. They aren't done yet. So... It is also important to remember that this series of novels are NOT light novels or manga, but mainstream young adult fiction. It is likely that the standard tropes we are used to will not hold for this author, since he is not necessarily a genre writer. (I assume the author is a he... I saw the name and some comments he made on the official web-site, badly translated by Google, and it had a masculine feel to it... I could be wrong though...) In any event, I am loving the series! I would love to read the original novels, but I get the strange feeling that I would be disappointed because the music would have to all be in my head. (Granted, I thoroughly enjoyed Your Lie In April in manga form without the music, though I did occasionally Google up a performance of the pieces they were performing to spice it up, as I also did with Sayonara Piano Sonata.) Somehow I expect that it would be more difficult to do that with concert band music than with classical piano and violin solos or rock... (I still wish someone would do Sayonara Piano Sonata, just so I could hear the electric guitar/electric bass "duel" near the end of the first novel...) That and the background art is so sublime that I would miss it when reading a plain black-and-white novel... |
