>I find the whole premise of "actual lesbians don't exist, they could all just as easily fall for a guy if the cupids decide it" rather questionable for a "yuri" story, since the author makes sure to always have male love interests involved each time.
I don't think this is how it works. They mentioned the cupid shot has no effect if the subject is incompatible with the target. Those guys being in love with Aki after they were previously hit by cupids doesn't automatically mean Aki would've reciprocated if she was looking at one of them when hit.>>4336794
Thats explicitly how it works, since we saw the potential targets (for seeing when getting hit) each time and they were always mixed. What the pic is talking about is if the attraction "sticks" longterm, hence the worry about an additional love interest being added. And also why I think the most recent chapters case will turn to the OL also not staying with the guy, because the manga pretty much shoved into our face all those flings/relationships she had before were based on cupids being biased and trying to essentially force her on smaller guys, who she probably only likes in a maternal way and not romantically.

The cupids very clearly never worry about gender of the love interests one way or the other.>>4336801
>What the pic is talking about is if the attraction "sticks" longterm
It literally says the bullet could've had no effect.>>4336801
Sounds a lot like bullets can just whiff if there is no fuel at all. The additional love interest would be the other girl.
The manga is very much on a sexuality isn't real trip, and just focuses on personality and treats every girl as bisexual for that purpose.
Honestly, my bigger problem is doubling down on the incredibly unromantic idea of there being no falling in love, its all cupids making decisions for you.>>4336801
>Thats explicitly how it works
That's explicitly NOT how it works.
Kanna mentions that what makes a person, their taste and personality makes up the fuel that love, sparked from the bullet of a cupid, burns on. So if we consider sexuality as a facet of one's personality, that obviously factors in the success of a bullet>>4336816
>So if we consider sexuality as a facet of one's personality
The manga clearly doesn't as it exclusively shows situations were both guys and girls are viable solutions. Except for the most recent one, where only guys are viable of course, unless hopium nee-san here ends up being right >>4336788 >>4336805

I disagree, and the evidence is that the cupid's relationships sometimes fail. All it suggests is that true love is something that has to be build up by two compatible people after they get together (the getting together part only requires basic compatibility, a moment of awareness of the other person and, critically, a cupid)

It is anti love at first sight. But it never says that getting shot by a cupid means you have 'true love' just the 'start of love'. Aki is a good example, both her and the other girl were compatible and the other girl already had a strong crush. Aki gets shot and is said also to have the beginnings of a crush now. There ends the cupid's involvement. In this case they can go on to develop love that can come to an end some day or else true love where they remain together; but that's entirely on them. I like it because it fits my personal idea that love is something very strong but requires a lot of building.>>4336818
How would the cupids know in advance that guys are viable for Aki when she only ever loved Koharu? They never state all the people already in love with a target are viable solutions, that's why they stake them out to figure out who to pick.>>4336818
>The manga clearly doesn't
Just because you state it so confidently doesn't mean it's true, if you want to acyually dispute this, make the case that you can separate sexuality from taste or personality

>it exclusively shows situations were both guys and girls are viable solutions.
Aki's case disproves you>>4336821
They have some sense that tells them who they've ever loved so I wouldn't find it farfetched that they have some sense to see if someone is straight/gay/bi or if it's a case where they go "I don't love you because you're a X, I love you because you're you"Why are you all still replying to this schizo?
