Worth noting that the author's idea for Ryan is of a societal rebel for a good cause, helping the downtrodden and opposing oppression.

Yes, Ryan is antifa.

Really? What comes off as so off-putting about them?

That's because they literally fired the previous guy in charge.

That is quite literally the opposite of how Cinderella Gray and Star Blossom handle it, where the girls interact very little off-course, and most of the emotional investment is the Uma/Trainer relationships.

That's because it *is* a Jump manga, Young Jump, to be exact.

Does it count if it's half-yuri/half-het.

Because if so, Tokyo Necro might be up your alley as a read, given one of its two leads is very openly lesbian.

My hottest Umamusume take is that anti-yuri and anti-Uma/Trainer people are equally wrong, it's just one espouse it for the sake of culture war grifters, while the others are puritans who fundamentally misunderstand the media they're actually engaging with.

New Cinderella Gray chapter dropped in Young Jump, and something tells me people are going to be very normal about Mejiro Ryan's redesign.

Yeah, that leans into the issue I discussed about how the gachage format actively works against Maeda/Kai's standard form of storytelling. Crucial recontextualizations aren't allowed to "stick", because the characters need to be sold in perpetuity.

Lowkey funny how I see some people trying to dissect random interactions for yuri when the official manga give stuff like this.

Personally, I am slightly more concerned by the additional revelation that Tracen Academy owns a literal private militia.

Now imagine what these people will be like when they know who Gentildonna is.

Is it a hot take to say that at least starting CinGray should be a prerequisite for Uma fans. Feels like it'd iron out some headaches, at least.

It's the closest thing to capturing the appeal of Touhou, only without the weird centrism of its author and with actual semi-textual yuri instead of none at all.

i think its really cool that both uma musume official media & fan works interpret the characters in different ways because it really does give the feelimg that the uma musume are a kind of mythological pantheon

Deeply cursed Umamusume lore: Agnes Digital is, in fact, a white girl.

I think it's kind of funny to me how umamusume handles the topics of the real Rice Shower, Silence Suzuka or Agnes Tachyon's accidents with a lot of care and heart but then Seeking the Pearl's death is a recurring gag bc how tf do you get drama out of "this horse got struck by lightning one day"

Someone said that Festa more looked like anime girl Jesse Pinkman.
end-sky.bsky.social
Seriously! The real horse was found fatally injured at the farm, in what is believed to have been the aftermath of an altercation where the other horses basically lynched him.

This, fun fact, makes Gold City the first girl in the playable roster whose Keiba counterpart died.
end-sky.bsky.social
And then you have Gold City being lynched in a literal case of horse-on-horse murder.

The funniest part is that Jansson was 100% justified in being upset, given how much she emotionally invested into Moomins as a series.
