Haha, I watched (read) through all (of what's currently available) of Marimite for Noriko x Shimako, and that was good enough for me (of course, the quality of the rest of the series doesn't hurt). Subtext works just as well as explicit sexuality for me 'cause what I'm
really after in yuri is the romanticism. The poetic aspects alone in this series make Mato and Yomi's relationship clearly romantic, if not sexual. There's really no doubt at all that what this series (just like the OVA before it) is aiming for is the yuri fans.
