Yuri Espoir

Fifty yuri stories for the price of one.

It's really cool to see a romantic take on characters and then a more nuanced, surprising take.

Great - nay - even innovative art.

what's wrong with this girl. She's going into this marriage as though she's actually DYING, she literally explicitly sees it as DYING. She has vague flashbacks to something terrible related to this man. Or her father. Or both. The man's face is always a black nothing. Yet she lies and simpers to convenience him and her father. What's wrong with her? (Like, literally)

They humanised the disgusting adult man who's marrying a girl straight out of high school. For some reason, he's devoted to her...??? (Is he supposed to be the 'good face' of patriarchy? The prince who will go along with forced marriage but he loves her so it's ok?)

It's amazing how her eyes go completely black when she's forced to contend with her future. And come alive and manga-sparkling in her mental yuri escape with her friend. It's such an effective and creepy effect

WHY DOES SHE KEEP FLASHING BACK TO HER CREEPY AS FUCK FATHER WHEN CONFRONTED WITH

She's literally physically sick. This girl has deep seated suppressed trauma.

Anyway. The hinted at darkness in this story contrasted with mostly light hearted yuri stories and a very detailed and well-rendered high school setting is a brilliant combination.
