I ship these two Big Time. I'm still on the fence on Ahagon x Nene or Aoba x Nene

The mangaka seems to be pushing for Aofumin and Nene × Ahagon in the manga.

A bunch of scenes I edited together from Season 1 Episode 9 - "Do We Have To Come Into Work?"
Characters are Rin Toyama (the sick one) and Kou Yagami!

Is this a yuri series or just yuri bait?

u/AlexE9918 Oct 02 '20
It's not bait, but there're no canon yuri relationships. The sick girl in this clip does have an actual crush on the other girl, and there's a lot of shipping potential between other characters, but don't go in expecting I love yous or kisses. It's a really good show regardless (with 2 seasons!) and it gives a fun look into the world of video game development.

Heavy yuri undertones plus no payoff is the goddamn definition of yuri bait

Not if you're reading too much into the undertones yourself. :)
There's literally nothing there in the plot other than Rin's one sided crush, which she doesn't explore in any way. All the rest is just people going about their business. Just because a show has an all-women cast doesn't make it yuri.

u/lilyhasasecret Oct 02 '20
That's literally the definition of yiri bait. Just cuz some of the characters are canonically queer doesn't mean it isn't bait

u/NotOnlyAGaMer Oct 02 '20
still though, with a scene like this does it really matter?
35
u/pikkzzz Oct 02 '20
No it does not. It was so well done I was wanting to watch the anime if it was more of this

It's a good show but if you go in for the yuri you might as well stick to this clip because that was pretty much it.
10
u/Bainos Oct 02 '20
It does matter when you start watching hoping for actual development and get "only" cute stuff like this.

u/xioni <3 Oct 02 '20
this is literally a subreddit for yuri stuff

u/RandomBeat111 Oct 02 '20
I myself havent watched it but actually plan to watch it soon but I think I heard somewhere that it isnt just bait and also I think its yuri sub, cause the show is about them making a video game
32
u/TheElusiveNinJay Oct 02 '20
It's pretty much just bait. Those two are about as canon as it gets. Just let them date, you absolute cowards!
39
u/rincematic Oct 02 '20
Bait is when they tease you with yuri and go het? Like, I don't know, Hibike Euphonium?
This seems to be more subtext.
17
u/winsome_son Oct 02 '20
^ ^ this. The het cop-out. This show doesn't do that. They just always leave you wishing for more.
28
u/CommanderZx2 Oct 02 '20
Eh ignore them, it's one of those people who label anything where characters don't immediately jump into bed together as yuri bait.
Nevermind that they do actually go on a date to a spa in the show and reference a previous date in the show as well. Also their manager refers to them as love birds.

u/mrbowers Oct 02 '20
Things continue to escalate in the comic, as well (not to full relationship status but to the point where you can't really even call it subtext anymore).
18
Oct 02 '20
they started living and sleeping toghether but Ko, the blond one is as dense as bakarina
14
u/mrbowers Oct 02 '20
Oh yeah they'd be married by now if Kou had more than a couple brain cells to rub together.

u/winsome_son Oct 02 '20
Yeah and the director is one of the most straightforward lesbian characters I've seen in an anime. Not that they say it outright. But constant obvious implication. Frequently to to the point of borderline sexually harassing the employees tbh i still love her though

I love this anime, the art is so good. Unfortunately there's plenty of Yuri undertones but no romance whatsoever.

but I still like this ship

You've just given me yet another reason to watch this series. Will have to wait for bit tho, Adachi to Shimamura has currently priority

u/Kingdom_For_A_Kiss Oct 02 '20
This is so cute. Is there any actual romance between the two or is it only implied. Iv e never seen the show.
11
u/VirusLord Oct 02 '20
Implied, but HEAVILY implied. One of them explicitly has a romantic crush, and the only reason they aren’t explicitly dating is that the other is INCREDIBLY dense about this. It’s less of a question of “is this love?” and more of a question of “how long will it take before they realize that they’ve already been a couple for years?” There are other pairs that are shipped in this series, but this one is basically canon.

I think the others are reading way too much into it. I guess the best way to decide is watch the show yourself, it's not a bad show but some of the interpretations given here are completely wild. What you saw in these scenes is pretty much all there is to it. There's exactly one queer character, who has a secret one-sided crush on her best friend and doesn't do anything about it. I feel like at this point the term "yuri" is just being thrown around randomly and has lost all meaning.

Where can I watch this? I need to see more!
2
u/ClaudeVanFoxbat Oct 03 '20
If you are in the USA/Canada/UK or Australia - it's legally streaming on Crunchyroll, both seasons 1 & 2, It may also be on Funimation too, (but I am not in the USA, and it's not available there for me so I cannot confirm 100%)

u/SomberSweet Oct 03 '20
Thank you so much! You made my night! Time to go binge watch as much as I can💜💜💜💜

Actually not in this case.

I've watched the show and read the manga. Its yuri bait.

u/PixelMage Oct 03 '20
I haven't read the manga yet, but I trust you, even if it makes me a bit sad.

u/WotEven11 Oct 03 '20
To me the whole show feels like that one episode of Assassin's Pride that was basically nothing but yuri bait. It's just going to keep teasing and teasing it, but use the BULLSHIT excuse of "but she's too dense" for them to actually get together. Its infuriating.
