Perhaps this, too, is yuri

reposting cuz i dont wanna be a bitch in the ops notifs but this couldve easily been just 1 strip

i havent read this manga (heisei umare?) so maybe the pacing is very funny and works in the context of the manga but as it is OOC its something i kept seeing when reading 4koma recently (and garfield strips lol?) so im gonna use it as a jumping off point. no hate to it again i havent read it idk i might just adore it if i give it a try. but ok so look. (right strip 1st, left strip 2nd) the panels here go: setup blank blank punchline / punchline blank blank blank. now lets grab a page from azumanga diaoh and compare

it goes: setup development sensible-chuckle punchline / setup development sensible-chuckle awkward-silence-punchline. the "blank" does not have the same effect at all! you NEEEEEEED a punchline!!!! and you need the 3rd panel ("sensible chuckle") it preps the reader to laugh for real at the punchline, its warm-up!!!

poptepipi loves these mirror compositions- its repetition comedy!!!

this one reads more like setup / eh? / UH? / AHAH? (and also repetition comedy again yay!) i forgot what tezuka called the panels of a 4koma but thats the idea basically, each one has a function and youre free to do whatever you want with your jokes but then you have to find a rhythm thats also tailor-made for FOUR panels, not any less, not any more. a lot of garfie strips are just setup / blank / punchline or blank / blank / punchline and would work better as 2 panels or 1 panel gags like just get rid of the filler. this is the philosophy behind "2 panels ctrl alt del strips are funnier than the OG" too. but no matter what you do you still need a fucking punchline

w this in mind i reworked those first 2 strips like 3 different ways, u just swap the panels around and try to make them into setup development sensible-chuckle punchline. or whatever else pacing. its fun i encourage doing it i wont post mine here cuz its kind of disrespectful to the artist if i show em as a "heres how i fixed ur joke!!" but as an exercise in comedic timing its fun lol

Heisei Umare probably doesn't count as a yuri manga but it's full of disaster lesbians and that's good enough for me.

i just read the first chapter and my official review is that it’s hilarious and everyone is Big Dumb

Aimyon Lyrics: Yumeoi Bengal (夢追いベンガル; Dream Chaser Bengal)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

That asshole who I bet double-crossed me is laughing And I’m feeling pretty unhappy because I got double-crossed Oh, how awkward and ironic

I’ve been living my life in search of affection Instead of sex, which is all you guys want But oh, I’m not gonna be loved today either

Most of the time I just wanna be normal But I want something more than that Well, I am sorta nice to myself every now and then

My checkbook’s a white seagull again today Gonna let it fly wherever it sees fit I guess Oh, I’m not gonna be loved today either

Gimme all the water you got White seagull, fly towards the ocean I don’t need anything digital, I don’t need trends I don’t even need anything erotic right now

I run, run, flinging my body into the distance I spin, spin, letting both peace and darkness flow past me I better think about that moment When tomorrow has come and morning is here

I’ve got the time, so lemme sleep for 5 more minutes Shut up, Sex Pistols alarm Oh, I’ve got bugs in my eyes or something

Oh, I feel like the biggest idiot in the history of mankind now I wouldn’t mind if you said just about anything and laughed for me That’s right, do that and get me burning

I don’t need that thing I wanted anymore Burn to a crisp, seagull I’m gonna go and make a Bengal my ally I’ve got plenty of energy to burn

I run, run, swinging my legs around as I head into the distance I spin, spin, running through each and every day so fast my eyes spin What will I see When tomorrow has come and morning is here?

I can’t make heads or tails of the world we live in Which is full of Heisei-born celebs I don’t care about any of the bands everyone’s talking about either Am I going crazy or something right now?

Gimme all the water you got White seagull, fly towards the ocean I don’t need anything digital, I don’t need trends I don’t even need anything erotic right now

I run, run, flinging my body into the distance I spin, spin, letting both peace and darkness flow past me I better think about that moment When tomorrow has come and morning is here As crazy as I might actually be right now I better think about that moment When tomorrow has come and morning is here
