Is their relationship romantic or just deep platonic love? I know this is a yuri series but I can't really tell because they don't seem to be romantically involved or maybe I'm just dumb.

I like the setting of this, but they could be more explicit.

so how are the translations going?

yuri fans like yuri-bait more than yuri

It's just plastic love.

Jeremiah Murphy
That's the point. It's left ambiguous so the reader can make up their own minds. The only canon lesbian is Sei.

Is the manga any different from the anime?
I started reading after watching the anime cause I wanted some sort of conclusion that it seems I'm not gonna get.

Nah; Marimite is part of the Yuribait trinity along with Hibikek and Nanoha.
There is only one lesbian in the story and she isn't on a relationship with anyone due to a sad even of her past.

is bait

How is getting married bait-and-switch? Are they waiting for the right man to come along before agreeing on split custody of Vivio?
Elijah Harris
can't into class S
Asher Wright
They've never show on-screen on a canon work they're married, said marriage being just fanbase headcanon.
The textbook definition of yuribait.
Eli Barnes
The textbook definition of yuribait is "bait-and-switch". They bait the audience into thinking that the girls could be gay and then switch and suddenly make them get boyfriends.
>they've never show on-screen on a canon work
Also that's not true.
Anthony Ward
Why do you think the author kept chugging a volume after volume set during Sachiko's final year instead of letting her graduate and marry a dude? She has written herself into a corner where she can't go with her original vision of the series without alienation an absolute majority of her audience.
Though Marimite characters and their interactions are great enough regardless of their orientation or marriage plans, good luck making the fans see it
Benjamin Hall
>They bait the audience into thinking that the girls could be gay
That's exactly what they're doing. That's why there isn't a canon material depicting their marriage or even a little intimacy moment that would confirm their gayness without any shred of doubt.
As it stands right now, there is nothing that disproves that they aren't dating men off-screen.
>Parody omake
>Canon
Ian Young
You missed the other half of my sentence. Yuribait requires that they end up splitting up or with boyfriends; that's the original definition of the word. Show me one well-known nip word which only refers to earlier half of "2D girls who are extremely close but are not explicitly gay".
>there is nothing that disproves that they aren't dating men off-screen
There's also nothing that disproves that most yuri couples won't break up when they get older. So by your logic, even if Nanoha/Fate kissed and confessed on screen, it would still be yuribait because it's not impossible that they will leave each other eventually and get husbands.

It's not an omake. It's official canon.
Juan Peterson
The author is a firm believer that lesbianism is just a phase and Marimite is officially catalogued as shoujo, not yuri. The real problem is Marimite got really popular with moe otakus and the author can't stick to her original vision of Yumi and Sachiko becoming proper Japanese ladies.
Aaron Young
They are normal christian girls
Colton Powell
marriage is very canon in the Nanoha novels.
Levi Martinez
Don't nips call that "girlship"? Or is that a western term?
Juan Brooks
Girlship is the translation of the term one mangaka made up to describe their manga. Although, I don't know if the terms has gained traction in the nip yuri fanbase.
Joshua Morris
Catholic.
Jonathan Wilson
Isn't the traditional nip term "akogare" (admiration)?
Alexander Thompson
>The author is a firm believer that lesbianism is just a phase
As it should be.

Elijah Gray
I can't believe the amount of shit this manga gets just because some people can only see romance every time two characters get friendly with each another. Just enjoy it for what it is!
Ryder Morgan
If the series wants to be just platonic that's totally fine, but the author should come out of the closet and say it rather than inventing entirely new words to keep their relationship ambiguous.
James Walker
>Those two characters have some degree of interaction; it means they want to fuck the shit out of each other
You faggots are impossible.
Jaxon Torres
I never suggested their relationship was more than platonic. I don't even read Nettaigyo. All I said was that author shouldn't use made-up words up to describe their relationship.
