YagaKimi is very frustrating because it’s so good, the character writing is so good, it’s a genuine lesbian story that neither drowns you in gay angst nor pretends gay people are 100% accepted in society, but oh boy, every aro/ace person I knew read the first chapters and was like “that’s me!” and that sure did not pan out at all, and the one canon aro character sucks (even if he gets better), which is like... almost insulting? Accidentally, of course, but oof. I can’t really get angry at this story because it’s that well done, but I’m still disappointed, in part *because* it’s otherwise that well done (Maki feels like a concession, but a very bad one). So yeah, my feelings will remain complicated
But bless this doujinshi circle I randomly found that publishes SayaYuu fanfics. Thank you for service, don’t let anyone stop you
" But I couldn’t think of anything else I could do for her—for Touko.
“…No, I suppose that’s a lie.”
There was one thing I could do. I just didn’t want to think about it.
I sat down on the edge of my bed and looked at the uniform I was still wearing.
I couldn’t calm down lately, and it wasn’t just because of Touko. I kept suddenly being assailed by the panicky feeling that I was standing in an unfamiliar place all alone.
Koito Yuu. There was something about that girl.
Whatever it was, I had a hunch that it was significant to Touko, and that in time, it might even shake the foundation of my world. Melodramatic as it sounded, I knew I felt something big brewing. "
I can't believe this novel be feeding SayaYuu shippers
Sayaka and Yuko got to meet a dinosaur up close in Universal Studios...or more like trying to run away from it. XDD
Oh my gosh I just luv their reactions. Just look at Yuko hiding behind Sayaka and tries to avoid getting eaten by the raptor. The poor frightened squirrel.
Yuko attempted to sadistically/playfully hit Sayaka back while the latter tries to get a closer look at the First Class’s fancy meal, but she accidentally hits Sayaka in the eye a bit hard.
Ouch... Poor Sayaka.
Aw but I think you can barely catch a glimpse of Yuko reaching to Sayaka in the end, probably wanting to apologize for hitting her.
When Yuko became nervous before she’s about to sing her solo for Kouhaku Utagassen in 2011, her shinyuu Sayaka was there to give some encouraging words.
Sayaka: Well since it’s Yuko, she can do it. (as translated by krunchie)
Yuko: Waah~ *hugs Sayaka*
