I don't think I would wish to change any of the pairings. :bleed2: :sweat:

And it did have enough of an effect to scare Hikari later on when Yaya got close to her even after supposedly making up.[/spoilers]
I didn't mind that scene, actually. It struck me less as Yaya taking the opportunity and more as a release of everything she had held in for so long,
In a rather violent way.
What redeemed Yaya was the scene when she apologized for what she did.
Not entirely as you can see in the scene PsychoticSoul mentioned. Hikari still gets startled there.
As for the ending, this is how I'd do it. Spoilers for things that actually happen are enclosed.
First, when Amane fell off the horse, it would do more than just give her amnesia. She would be seriously hurt, beyond anything Spica could do to help. Thus, they send her away to a hospital a very long way from the school. Hikari is crushed and depressed, as identical to what actually happens, and pretty much stops going to any classes or caring about the Etoile election. One day, again like what actually happens, Chikaru consoles sweet little Hikari, and Hikari comes out with renewed determination to at least see the election through. After much deliberation, she asks Yaya to be her partner in the place of Amane.
Ah, but that could never have worked, because Yaya doesn't have what it takes to be Etoile, and Hikari wasn't the one to enter the election in the first place. There simply wouldn't have been any comptetition for Tamao and Nagisa.
In other character development, Nagisa and Tamao still enter the election together, train together under Shizuma and Miyuki, etc. The difference comes in the final episode. Instead of Shizuma charging into the auditorium to confess to Nagisa, she slips a note into Nagisa's room that says "I love you." As she leaves, she meets Chikaru, who stepped out of the auditorium for a bit.

<Chikaru> "Sure you want to do this?"
<Shizuma> "I don't have any regrets."
<Chikaru> "Then I will see you again."
<Shizuma> "Please take care of Nagisa for me."
<Chikaru> "Okay."

Shizuma walks off and doesn't appear again.
That would have been very unsatisfying, IMHO, especially considering the events at the end of the main play at the Drama Festival.

That's kinda the point. Mark it with your mouse to make it readable.

For some reason that is not working. It works for other threads, but not this one. :saaad:

This thread is no different from any other. My guess is that the problem is with your browser.

I think you mixed up our light novels with the yuri titles. Those two aren't yuri. ^_^;


But to answer kotoko's question... yes, Strawberry Panic, The Last Uniform and Tetragrammaton Labyrinth are the three titles we've announced so far. I can say that we DO have more yuri titles that we haven't announced, though.

Now this makes me smile. :catgirl:

Although, this now means you own my wallet. Completely.
Someday Yuri will overcome Yaoi!
