And this reasoning,
is why i dont understand
WHY Sono Hanabira IP is so unknown/unpopular. And also the biggest mystery (among other internet mysteries) : WHY DIDNT THEY CONTINUE IT ! CLEARLY ITS A GOLD MINE !!!!! WORTH MILLION(S) !
FFS
its the IP
that influenced the whole of japan anime industry about "yuri".
From "yuri use toys (dildo/strap/bdsm)" everywhere (old pages of e-hentai.org for yuri is a good proof) to "pure yuri without anything added"
being mainstream now.
But i guess like Mushoku, Arifureta, etc
need a anime so the "tourist anime enjoyers" & "foreigners" to know about it. Always the same routine.

Yaoi is everywhere, because its women that translate/create them.
And women has more libido/sexual-urges/depravity than men in lot of cases.
And like a famous philosopher once said, Libido is related to creativity and productivity.
So you got like NU case where the main page is flooded of hundreds of yaoi stuff.
Because they "act and not just speak".
And why chinese industry somehow had a yaoi-anime, NOT 3D, and with quality rivaling, even surpassing jp animes, because the fujoshis will open their purses for it. And money speak. Same for why there are LOT OF chinese live action TV xianxia "bromance" (lol) where they cultivators are "close brothers" (lol)
Though it sure was dumb when chinese fans once wrote yaoi fanfics on AO3 about 2 actors/characters and 1 actor was pissed off (DESPITE ACTING IN BROMANCE SERIES) so he called his fans to "report it" causing china to ban AO3 hence make yaoi fans furious (duh it was one rare porn website they had free access in china) so they mass downvoted the TVshow and caused the actor beg them to stop (they did not). Forgot the end of the drama but heard the vote website stopped new votes/removed some but the evil is done. TV Score plummeted and reputation of dude suffered.
You DO know that https://dynasty-scans.com/
is THE website for all yuri translated on the internet right ?
(its kinda mangadex)
And well, like mangadex, it caused manga websites to stop releasing translated yuri series chapters, mainly because they ask the translators for it (like mangadex) and not using bots to steal.
