#this came out so badkfsdgjhdfg

I'm gonna drop My Next Life as a Villainess... I really wanted the girls to (seriously) confess to katarina but it seems that the author is sadly just yuri baiting. The girls never even had a chance from the beginning. All of the girls will end up in a het relationship. Even mary had some moments with alan in the novel...

I'm really sorry to hear that! :(( I know lots of people came to hamefura for it's bisexual harem and potential for a yuri ending so I was really really nervous about Season 2 (in fact I didn't even expect hamefura to go beyond the first season in the first place :0). I've heard some friends mention that the series kinda does just yuri-bait the audience.

kinda spoilers ahead btw.

Based on the contents of the series' story so far, I wouldn't exactly blame you if you wanted to drop the series right now if you're looking for yuri contents. The next few arcs will focus heavily on Katarina's male love interests, and to be honest the only female that given any focus at all is Maria. Despite the fact that hamefura has a bisexual harem, the series is still marketed as a shoujo series, so the likeliness of Katarina ending up with a male love interest is much bigger.

I don't want you to completely lose hope though. If I'm being honest, I used to mostly favor Katarina with Maria but now I'm split between Maria and Geordo. If we're talking about moments and scenes with Katarina, Maria is definitely the winner in that regard. We spend most of the series with those two and almost every volume of the novel has scenes of Maria falling harder and harder for Katarina each book (granted, it gets kinda repetitive after a while since the formula is kind of the same). When it comes to focus and moments, Maria is given priority. In contrast, Geordo is in the lead because, in the words of a friend, "he's the only one who has brought her back down to Earth with the truth that she is loved romantically". His confession is the only one Katarina has taken seriously so far, but that could change by the upcoming Volume in November.

For Mary and Alan's case, it's safe to assume that they would end up with each other none of them might be with Katarina (unless it's a harem ending). I can already imagine the disappointment of Mary's fans since I lot of them love how much of a hardcore lesbian she is. We're still nowhere at a point where Mary and Alan's romantic focus has shifted away from Katarina to each other in even the slightest so even if we do know(/could speculate) through foresight that they could(/would) be endgame, right now it's still safe grounds for people who love Mary as she was in Season 1.

I guess what I'm saying is that I can't make promises that it'll get any better for the fans who are looking forward to a yuri ending, but there's still numerous yuri scenes with Katarina and the other girls. I know that's still kinda counts as yuri bait, but it's not like the author isn't taking any of the girls' feelings seriously. Whether or not they "never" stood a chance honestly depends on the readers if you ask me, I might not exactly be in favor of the girls personally but I didn't feel like they are completely out of the loop (...maybe just Maria though). I've been told many times and have speculated myself that the series' direction/end-game wise might be affected by the reception of the series, and it's not like the novel has decided a clear winner anyways (I mean I do, but novel readers all have our biases on who is in the lead anyways).

I don't know haha I'm soooo bad at explaining it, I guess I'm saying that even if you don't like the destination, I'd hope you would have at least stuck around to watch the journey qwq

I don't know if I want to agree personally if its yuri-bait or not, but that's mostly because I still haven't fully comprehended what counts and doesn't count as yuri bait. If the contents of the series dictates where is stands then I think hamefura is fine, but if its the ending/end-game then I guess it is bait.

Haha i'm really sorry, my thought are all over the place and this came out really bad. I hope I don't seem like I'm trying too hard to not make you drop the series with false hope and promises or something. Hamefura is a show that I really feel like has something for everybody. You're okay to drop it now if the content doesn't interest you any more though, you can always just turn to fanfiction if you want some Katarina Yuri content. Hamefura has such a huge amount of fanfiction that you'd be surprised to find out how many people shares the same sentiments as you do :'DD

Thank you for the ask :''))
