Netsuzou TRap

High school students Yuma Okazaki and Hotaru Mizushina are childhood friends. With their respective boyfriends, Takeda and Fujiwara, their lives couldn't be more perfect. From playing in school to going on group dates, it seems nothing can break their bond.

However, during one such group date, Hotaru makes an unexpected move. While Takeda and Fujiwara are distracted, she begins stroking Yuma's thighs. Taken aback by this peculiar action, Yuma awkwardly retreats to the toilets, followed shortly by her aggressor. Now in private, Hotaru forces the innocent Yuma into a locked cubicle and whispers into her ear: "You'll be more nervous with a boy; I'll help you practice."

REVIEW FOR LESBIANS.
Main points: representation, real in a very messy way.
No explicit spoilers, but some implied.

I'll start by saying that I feel like my rating of this anime is higher due to the representation than it would be if I was rating any other anime. It wasn't an amazing storyline, it was very short, and many of the other valid criticisms I've already seen written in some other reviews. However, I felt compelled to write a review specifically for lesbians.

This anime is messy. Coming out is messy. Dealing with feelings for someone of the same sex for the first time is ... messy. Falling for someone that you think is straight is messy. And that's what this anime shows. Did the characters deal with it the right, honest, fair way? No, not really at all. Did they hurt each other and other people in the process? Absolutely. Were they in the wrong for the cheating and dubious consent? Yeah. This anime is painfully real and very messy, in a good way.

Real representation in this anime came in the form of compulsory heterosexuality and unintentionally hurting genuinely nice men in the process, finding yourself in a position where you are abused by men because it's easier that way and that's the "natural order" we're taught to follow, having gross comments from men about you being with women, starting to fool around with and then pulling away from a friend you've fallen for or are attracted to so you don't get hurt... there were so many aspects in this anime that made my heart clench at seeing accurately represented.

The fan-service is also consistent throughout, certainly not bait.

Also, just a friendly reminder that this anime is an example of what relationships should NOT be. The dubious consent is not okay, the cheating is not okay, and I certainly don't relate to those parts, but there is definitely a lot of interesting representation that I haven't seen before and that resonated with my own not-so-great experience with discovering my sexuality. It's very real and very messy.

Ight... I'll give it to you straight.

If you hate this anime, I know how to make you love this anime... Stop treating this as a show, and begin treating it as a hentai.

If you go into this looking at it as a normal, anime you'll probably find yourself not liking it. The story is uncomfortable, and needs improvement. If they were to revise this it'd be noticeably better. Most, not all, but most characters could use some improvement because it feels like their average.

I suggest watch this alone, and when your in "the" mood. Because I did not feel like the story is all ... that enjoyable.

After seeing all the fuzz about this anime on the internet I decided to give it a shot, so basically the plot is that the Hotaru (the blacked haired girl starts to kiss the Yuma (the orange one) for some unexplained reason, but the thing is she enjoys it,

The problem I have with this anime is that first of all, the start of the relationship wasn’t consensual, also Hotaru knew Yuma had a boyfriend, as well as her, but she still kisses Yuma knowing that.

Also every character except Takeda is extremely unlikable, especially Fujiwara, if a show has unlikable characters most of the time is ... gonna be bad for the plot, unlikable characters are okay as long as they are
actually good for the plot (that in this case is non-existent).

The plot is another problem I have, the thing is it is a problem with most modern yuri, it isn’t about telling a love story between two females anymore, yuri anime looks like it has a quota of fanservice they have to deliver or nobody will care about it.

TL;DR: A mediocre series that is just mindless fanservice.
4/10
Edit:typo fix
