Erica Friedman did mention that Kaishaku has this uncanny ability of getting WORSE for every new title they do. This is really teetering to that point.

:P This is true, and I have absolutely nothing against het (as I believe you have witnessed), but that does not mean all love is beautiful to an equal measure. Himeko x Chikane in this case certainly has stronger historical precedent and I believe will be more beautiful by the author's intention as well. One of the things I find very interesting about Kaishaku's Kannazuki no Miko and it's spinoffs is that it really is shounen, and trying to sell yuri to a shounen audience. This means that it is very open to things like het (and mecha, for example) which are popular, and appeal to standard audiences. However, this sort of approach to the series not only results in people like yourself being burned by etc. what happened to Souma, but also a lot of dissatisfaction among strict yuri enthusiasts. I think that's disappointing. However, as for myself, I personally do appreciate this wider perspective and open-mindedness, however, because I nevertheless trust that Kaishaku really is just trying to get a genuine/beautiful yuri story out to as many people as possible.

lol, that does seem to pretty accurately describe it right now, but I guess I have a pretty high capacity for lulz and fanservice. In fact, the ability to tell a meaningful story despite widely featuring irreverent aspects like this is one of the most impressive things I think a series can do, and I maintain that Kannazuki no Miko itself was full of enough hilarious and outrageous bullshit (the mecha, the villains, the 'boy's love' jokes, the first episode with GAR Souma screaming "Himeko!!!" while Chikane steals a kiss in the background) that this series is still somewhat in the original's spirit. I won't deny that I'm probably in an extremely small minority in thinking this though :P.

Heh, I do too....it goes over the borderline of "smut"....yet I keep reading it anyway.

AFAIK there won't be further scanlations because it's licensed for distribution on JManga. Although, by the time it was licensed the groups that were scanlating it had already lost interest due to its troll ending anyway.

Well, it was not meant to be yuri to begin with (at least that was my impressionboth after the first couple of chapter, and didn't change when that couple turn from chapters to volumes). Most of the groups that occasionally were picking it up had a very narrow interest in that genre, and making fun of their fixation isn't exactly motivational, however interesting to read
Anyway I ordered the raws, it is an interesting practice material. |

My take on Amnesian (and Kannazuki no Miko, and Kaishaku in general) has always been that they're shounen/het friendly. Their previous works before KnM weren't yuri, and their doujin works pretty often show them to be dirty fucks just like the rest of us guys. However, I would be honestly surprised if Kaishaku gave a true "fuck you" to the ChikanexHimeko fans they made with Kannazuki no Miko. That series was practically one of my real starting points as a yuri fan, after all, and all of their other projects/cameos that followed seemed aimed at that audience. So my hope is, despite however much other trolling they throw in there, Amnesian is at least true to its original background and pairing. The last I personally heard, payapaya scans were still planning to work on Amnesian, just lacking a translator. That was a couple months ago now, however. Still, unless you flat out confirm for me otherwise, I'm not gonna give up on this series being yuri. |

But that will take some time, my japanese are not good in any way Quote:
And I really hope that they never included mecha, shounen, etc. just makes the thing harder to read EDIT: Nah... scratch that, I just remembered that godly two chapter fight in the rooftop resulting to a defeated Chikane on all four humilitated... godly character drawings, background art, rendering dynamic movement into static panels, dialogue... even Himeko peeping Quote:
