Off-topic but I needed to share this. While I was busy moving into my new dorm (more about it later) my eyes laid upon a bulletin board in the main campus right in front of one of the lecture halls. It is usually full of ads promoting various student activities such as clubs. There are hundreds of clubs (they actually call them “circles”) officially recognized and therefore subsidized by Kyoto University, ranging from quite normie (calligraphy, horseriding, sailing, moviemaking, language learning etc.) to borderline weird (RPG lovers, mushroom study group???), but this one really caught my attention. Behold everyone — yuri manga research club! For those unfamiliar with Japanese manga genres, yuri mainly focuses on intimate relationships between girls, both spiritual and physical, though the posters suggest preference for the latter. I don’t think Kyoto University has acknowledged this club yet but I guess they’re trying hard to get some exposure. The guys already have twitter and a discord server..
