I went scrounging for more yuri manga/anime and just noticed that theres like 100 times more yaoi stuff than yuri out there where's the love for my perversion, this show is making me so impatient nonetheless can't wait for more of the story of candy boy, i wish they named it better quite a misleading title i wouldn't have figured it to be exactly what i wanted in a show

Well heres the problem with Maria-sama ga Miteru. The anime version tones down the yuri quite a bit while the anime version while the original novels are more blunt about it. Also to answer your question not until near the end of season 3 but this is only what I've heard because I stopped watching after 2...


I known that for along time and what hurts even more is when they say that yuri fans are worse then yaoi fans... Well theres your reason why we yuri fans have noting to go on so we have to look for actual parings. While the yaoi fans even more unjustified having tones of material to go on yet still grab at whatever they call a paring...

Now don't get me wrong I have a soft spot for yaoi as well but it just makes me mad when people bash yuri like they do...

The title is very understandable if you can interpret it right. Actually, it'd make a good cryptic in a Cryptic crossword, which I still can't finish alone .

Candy = a Treat. Treat = something people indulge in / enjoy if you would.
Boy = a Male person.... How else am I supposed to say it lol.

In any case, Candy Boy is metaphorical for treats for males. Obviously, seeing as how this show IS intended for more on the male population of anime viewers (I don't think there's more lesbians out there than straight people ), it serves as a light teaser.

Hope that helps and I cleared at least something up? -_-

The DVD version is 10 minutes long and has better subs might I add.

Are Yaoi fans mostly females? I wouldn't know.

Wrong, the title comes from Meilin's song. The ONA was initially just an extra of her single Candy Boy, so regardless of its content, it had to be titled the same way.

Also, being Yuri doesn't necessarily mean it's intended for males. Women like Yuri as much as men do. Take for example Yuri Hime... 70% of its readership is female; that's a lot of women, too much for them to be all lesbians. Additionally, there's a lot of Yuri manga from shoujo and josei magazines. Of course, there's a lot of Yuri from male targeted magazines too, but the point is that Yuri is not a genre primarily intended for males.

On the other hand, BL is primarily intented for women. I suppose this means that men have less tolerance towards BL than women have towards Yuri.

yeah! Most Yaoi is aimed at girls but that doesn't exclude SOME males from reading it or watching it. MEdia blaster has been making a killing selling Yaoi in either anime or Manga forms here.

Isn't that the truth!

I would love some of those examples I can't find any no matter how hard i search don't care if it's targeted for boys or girls 90 percent of the manga i read is shoujo anyway

You want Yuri manga? Rosa Chinensis's "List of Must-Read Yuri Manga" is a good place for starters:

http://mizuno-youko.livejournal.com/68245.html

Now, from those titles I would begin with:

Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom Pink
Strawberry Shake Sweet
The Miko's Words and the Witch's Incantations
Girl Friends
Concerto
Iono-sama Fanatics
Shoujo Sect (this one has adult content)

The list has links to the scanlators, except for licensed manga like Iono-sama Fanatics, although their easy to find nontheless.

On a more on-topic note:


EDIT: I remembered two other titles I really liked which are not included in that list:
Sketch (a Yuri one shot by Yoshitomi)
Blue Drop (also by Yoshitomi)

No wonder I always feels like the stories in Yuri Hime are quite different from yuri anime. I guess it is safe to say that yuri anime is primarily for males while manga yuri is not or not necessarily true.

It make me wonder what are the chances that something from Yuri Hime will get adapted into an anime series.

We can't take actual Yuri anime as an indicative of this because there's too little. I mean, we're talking about... 3? 4 anime series maybe? Of course, I'm not including Candy Boy, as the producer hasn't disclosed the target demographic (female/male) and assuming is meaningless.

If anything, manga targeted towards males usually get more anime adaptations than manga targeted towards females. Whether these manga/anime are Yuri or not makes no difference.
