Problematic Yuri Tournament - Round One

Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii vs. Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru

Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii (manga by Hanasaki Manio)

Mod submission; they're in love! they're mutually toxic and abusive! they're kinky! they would die for each other. truly this is one of the yuri manga of all time. quick content warnings: abuse, noncon/dubcon, severe bullying, surveillance, and plenty of girl vomit.

Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru (visual novel by Bug System)

Submitted problematic elements: kanzaki emotionally manipulates honjou using the latters inexperience in relationships in order to keep her "pure," even to the point of removing parts of her anatomy to retain that purity.

Submitted content warnings: rape, mutilation, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, abuse, incest, lolisho, transphobia(? the way they handle a specific character in the vn is kind of transphobic)

Submitted propaganda: really good VN that explores purity culture and the idea of "gold star lesbians" through guro!

Making extremely questionable life choices because my brain has said, "let's feel depressed today for literally no reason whatsoever"

Most likely I'll wake up feeling all fine tomorrow and not reach the really gruesome parts until then

Thinking about basement yaoi drugging vs basement yuri choking

(don't show me your basement heteros)

bitches hate me because of my.... bad personality.... paranoid nature... addictive tendencies......the torture basement.

About Manakashi – did you understand the part where Honjou came back to Yuuko after having been released? In that looooongasssss Yuuko ending. Because I sure have not, I’m still confused.

Tbh my thoughts about this game ended up being nearly identical to yours. To the point that I almost WANT to disagree on sth for sake of a constructive discussion but goddamn I can’t find anything LOL.

My sibling in christ I must confess to you, it has been 8 months and a marriage later, and I still do not understand what the fuck Ban'ya was cooking

Evil Author Day WIP # 2

Excerpt from Underneath the Underneath

I actually have this entire fic outlined. I just need to sit down and flesh it out (especially the sex scenes lol...and no, this WIP does not include those. I wouldn’t want to spoil you for when I actually finish writing the story ^_^

[...]

[...]

When he wakes the next morning, Manako is not there, and he tries to tell himself he isn’t disappointed. He had thought, given her confession the night before, that she would stay a little longer, not disappear the way she usually—

“Hey, scarecrow, are you up yet? Come get the door, my hands are full.”

Kakashi blinks, and out of surprise, automatically stands to open the door to his room.  

Framed in the doorway, Manako Inuzuka is a puzzling vision, expertly balancing a tray of food along one arm, and holding a box with a video game console under her other. She is also unquestionably and unabashedly nude.  

When did…?

He’s pretty sure they went to bed with clothes on, he’s still dressed, so why…?

“Well, take the tray before I end up wearing it all,” she prompts him. “No matter what people write in the books, eating food off each other is more messy than sexy.”

Too surprised to formulate a reply, Kakashi takes the tray, glancing at the offerings on it with both eyebrows raised. Steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish…it’s the healthiest food he’s ever seen in her apartment, and he wonders for a moment if she went knocking on her neighbours doors for food.

Before he can contemplate whether she did that while naked (honestly, he wouldn’t be surprised if she had), Manako orders, “Mind out of the gutter. I made it.”

“You?” he repeats, despite years of practice unable to keep the shock from his voice.  

She rolls her eyes, setting down the console beside the television near his bed.  

“Just because I don’t cook, doesn’t mean I can’t,” she informs him, striding forward to take the tray from him too. She sets it down on his bed and wraps her arms around his neck. “I just have no intention of seeing anyone else but you for the foreseeable future, so…needs must.”

“So…” his brain is still playing catch-up. “The nudity?”

“Pre-emptive,” she answers, pulling him down into what starts off as a quick kiss, but which Kakashi discovers he doesn’t want to be. Once she’s in his arms, he realises he has his own intentions about not letting her go. Her presence here—the fact she doesn’t want to leave, coupled with everything that was said the night before—he finds he’s still as desperate for her as the night before.

“Tray,” he mumbles, as she climbs into his lap.  

“What?”

“Tray,” he repeats, and his voice has become more of a growl. “Or we’ll be putting your food theory to the test.”

Her eyes go wide—either in speculation or anticipation—but she pulls back, quickly sliding the tray to the floor. Kakashi doesn’t bother to see if the contents remain intact before he lifts her bodily and settles her into the centre of his bed.

And best believe I am experienced with video game basements ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Problematic Yuri Tournament - Round One Losers' Bracket

Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru vs. Insecure Herami Sisters

Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru (visual novel by Bug System) [explicit; gore/violence]

Submitted problematic elements: kanzaki emotionally manipulates honjou using the latters inexperience in relationships in order to keep her "pure," even to the point of removing parts of her anatomy to retain that purity.

Submitted content warnings: rape, mutilation, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, abuse, incest, lolisho, transphobia(? the way they handle a specific character in the vn is kind of transphobic)

Submitted propaganda: really good VN that explores purity culture and the idea of "gold star lesbians" through guro!

Insecure Herami Sisters (manga by Kaneko Aru) [safe]

Submitted problematic elements: Incest, I guess age gap? (19 & 26)

Mod addition because this was almost a mod submission: Younger sis is a seemingly perfect popular hypercompetent idol... who's also a yandere obsessed with older sis! Older sis is a pathetic and useless menhera girl who's the least popular maid at a maid cafe! They made a promise to be idols together when they were children and little sis will stop at nothing to make sure it comes true! Love the art and character designs in this manga SO MUCH... so many cute girls..

“I hope nothing bad’s gonna happen to my cute lil bby” says a man who knows exactly what game he’s playing

[mallardducksaysquack]

Playing Manakashi thinking "this should happen to me for being a bad person" (i.e. making a minor mistake only one person on this planet would ever call me out for) might not be the healthiest attitude towards life I could have.

Said person reminds me of both Kanazaki and Yuuko too (minus anything sexual).

I'm so bent on receiving punishment for things that I know don't actually matter.

I can't stand these things irl, so I look at a 1000x worse fictional version instead.

I feel like such a moron.

What is my brain even...

[problematic-yuri-poll]

while we don't want to have too many repeats we will ABSOLUTELY let manakashi have another run in a future bracket once its english translation is done, btw

[problematic-yuri-poll]

PROBLEMATIC YURI TOURNAMENT BEGINS!!

about the polls!

polls will be a week long each. they will all be made in advance and then scheduled to post an hour apart. there may be gaps in between as sometimes we can't make all polls at once.

reblog with propaganda all you want!! not all submissions came with propaganda so it's especially welcome.

p.s...... the submission form will remain open still for the purpose of future brackets!

this post will be pinned and polls will be linked here as they're made.

content ratings are currently really rough just to make sure no one gets in trouble reading them at work/school/in public. if something is marked as "gore/violence" it might be minimal gore or just violence; if something is rated explicit it might just be, like, one sex scene. in future brackets we may make more elaborate ratings.

vote for what you think is the BEST problematic yuri, not necessarily the MOST problematic yuri!

[problematic-yuri-poll]

a special shoutout to all the yuri leaving the tournament for the first time..

Sensory Sharing Maid-san! – Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! – How to Break a Triangle – Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru – Moonlight Garden – 1 x 1/2 – Onee-san wa Joshi Shougakusei ni Kyoumi ga Arimasu. – Yuzumori-san

we're sorry if your fave didn't make it, though if you're looking for new yuri recommendations, these series are each worthwhile in their own ways even if they were eliminated!

[problematic-yuri-poll]

manakashi would be such a heavy hitter in these polls if the translation were finished we think. it's shaping up to be eliminated first round though but there's lots of time left..

[problematic-yuri-poll]

extremely sad to say manakashi doesn't qualify for this poll because the english version isn't out..
