tbh oguretsu tanaka has so many other amazing and thought provoking mangas about feeling alienated bc of your sexuality, pressure to conform to japanese society, toxic work place leading to toxic relationships
e.g escape journey, renai-rubi, azami and Hadakeru Kaibutsu
tbh i feel like yarichin started off as a gag manga bc of its lighthearted theme......

Totally agree... But I think it's because of its light hearted content (and the amount of pure (not really pure) fun just packed into a delicious manga) that it really is so popular...
right! but regardless of its problematic content, i feel like it’s still trying to tackle important themes like feelings of inferiority, yuri's potential of being on the autism spectrum
Oh yeah. I never really thought of that. Now that you've brought my attention to it.. Maybe... But as cool as I am with a lot of things.. Thinking of Yuri as autistic seems like fetishizing it. Wow. That just took a dark turn. Ogeretsu Tanaka sensei kami
