Maligned Yuri Bracket: Preliminary Round!

How is Jenny Dolittle/Lynn Lambretta (Mouretsu Pirates) maligned?

"while they are a canon wlw couple, not enough people have watched this anime!! even though it's really good!!! crime!!!"

How is Amami/Kokoro Komadori (Yuri Espoir) maligned?

"Nobody has read the manga </3 Every day I try to get people to read it and it is a task that I'm both blessed and cursed with. Also my most active Yuri Espoir mutual deactivated so now about half of the tumblr content for it cannot be found through the search function, life is suffering"

How is Kei Sugiura/Rei Yokoe (School Zone) maligned?

"they are both the dumbest woman alive but in opposite directions - and rei can’t actually confess her love for kei without immediately backing out and saying it was a joke"

Anyone interested in making a gc for Yuri Espoir (and other yuri stuff)? I feel like yuri espoir is so underrated and the same 4 people discuss it everytime

anon requested: Can you make Yuri Espoir icons please? It's a manga I really like ^^

Yuri Espoir's horror is truly phenomenal because there's nothing to it. It's the horror of normalcy, of patriarchy and heteronormativity and the nuclear family. Kokoro is fated to "die" because her mindset doesn't allow her to go against her father, she's trapped and people don't help her because a woman is meant to be married anyway, right?* And he's so nice and such a good match. The only adult who sees how fucked up this is won't help because Kokoro's fiance just so happens to be his beloved best friend and he has suffered so much, won't she think about this man's feelings?

The only people on her side are Amami who already had to emancipate herself from her mother (and who believes she's fated to be as bad as her) and Mitsuru who was never raised in a "normal" family and thus is the only one with the confidence to face Souya.

*Admittedly it is perhaps not "normal" to marry a girl straight out of high-school, but this kind of thing is more common than one would like. Also, apparently rich people do still do arranged marriages but I got this info from a cursory search in Japanese so don't quote me. But either way, Kokoro's situation is an extreme of what is normally expected of women.

i finished (caught up on?) yuri espoir the other day! it was absolutely fantastic, i Loved the format of seeing into the different stories of strangers but kokoro's story itself is also So intriguing im invested. this manga Really gets the shipping escapism fantasy in a way not many others do

Right right? I knew you would love it! The scenes with the fiance also had me genuinely upset and empathizing with kokoro's nausea, i just think it was so well written and framed, every chapter, no matter how stressful, was a delight. Plus super pretty! I want more...

KNOCKOUTS: Yuri Espoir (2019 - ?)

Yuri Espoir (or Yuri de Naru♥Espoir) is an ongoing romcom by Mai Naoi about a teen girl escaping from her impending arranged marriage by fantasising about strangers being gay.

After finding out she is to be forced into an marriage of convenience as soon as she graduates high school, Kokoro sees her life ending before her eyes at her father's wishes. And so in her final year of high school, she decides to indulge in her love of other women, and create an incredible sketchbook of lesbian romance to leave behind as her legacy. As she observes the young women of her town, she learns more about their desires, their struggles, and the unpredictable whims of love. - MAL

CWs under the cut. General severity rating: significant.

suggestive scenes

arranged marriage <- between a teenager and a grown man. inciting incident. universally framed as negative. it and kokoro's intense discomfort surrounding it is frequently explored.

grooming/predatory adults <- arranged marriage above. ch3 states that the art teacher is known for making advances on students, but this ends up being a false rumour (heads up though that he's still very... Not Normal about one of his students being engaged to an adult). the same rumour is brought up in ch11. ch11.5, a background character talks about how he was dating a high school girl and is really gross about it. there's just generally a lot of talk of predatory behaviour throughout.

sexual violence <- part and parcel with the above. primarily just implied through a general fear of the impending marriage. ch2 nightmare sequence has implied sa. ch11, a character talks about being assaulted, but its later revealed that she was lying.

violence <- slapping every once in a while. ch6 has some mild bloody imagery as a metaphorical device.

heteronormativity & misogyny <- also part and parcel with the arranged marriage of it all. minor scenes involving side characters.

homophobia <- brief depiction in ch3.5.

vomiting <- scene in ch8. on a scale from 1 to 5 where 1 is a "blehhh" sound effect from another room, and 5 is that one scene in chainsaw man, i'd say this comes at like a 3, maybe 4. another scene in ch11.5 which is more of a 2?

disordered eating / purging? - ch13, character tries to throw up essentially as a coping mechanism for anxiety?

panic attack in ch13

ch15.5 in particular touches on very sensitive issues, and includes a warning at the start of the chapter for homophobia, depression, blood, death, and suicide. not massively gory but it is both bleak and relatively graphic. not counting this chapter to the warnings above since its self contained.
