NEWS: Destiny of the Shrine Maiden Manga Gets New Spinoff Manga

The yuri landscape has changed a lot since Kannazuki no Miko's debut so what else could they add or expand upon? Though I heard that other spinoff Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian was pretty bad.

Can...it be?

Can it really be?

Have Himeko and Chikane finally come back to the anime/manga world after 15 years?

...This truly is a miracle in light of such dark times. The yuri kingdom is overjoyed that the goddesses of yuri are back to right the wrongs of the yuri and non yuri anime world and remind everyone why they came to existence in the first place. CHIMEKO is great!

The yuri landscape has changed a lot indeed. More yuri anime have come and gone for several years but unfortunately, the Japanese mainstream, specifically the ones that have 95% female cast, has treated it like a joke. Many "yuri" fans nowadays prefer shipping girls over mere subtext and despite that they're meant to romance the player character who's almost always a male. It's no wonder that yuri never sells and I hope that with the possible return of Kannazuki no Miko, this will revitalize the yuri landscape

Yuri fans have always shipped characters before, this isn't new. It is the result of the overly used trope "subtext". A trope which I, personally can't stand. Since the end of the second volume of the manga back in 2005, we've just witnessed psycho lesbian character after psycho lesbian character, subext nonsense piled on series after another, and that's really the genre's cardinal sin.

Hopefully with CHIMEKO sama's return, we can see some significant change, especially in this hyper culture war age.

Well said. Yuri has been a joke for almost a decade. Even Yuri on Ice made it an utter joke. I hope Kannazuki no Miko's return will bring back the golden age of yuri

And hopefully the glory years of the KnM franchise will make a glorious comeback.
We must place our hope in CHIMEKO-sama!
