i liked the anime better? its hard to say, i think. some things the manga does better while other things the anime does better. sadly both mediums felt extremely rushed, especially at the end. that good ending came out of nowhere in the anime as well but in the manga it REALLY feels like a slap in the face to be hit with the very sudden "i'll become a bear too!" one page turn after ginko asks kureha to kill her.
i appreciate yka for its symbolism but its always gotta be taken with a grain of salt, i think. like i could talk about it for hours but also be extremely wary of reading or watching it because you will not understand anything unless youre willing to interpret any small detail to hell and ignore everything that seems too weird or far fetched

Ok, so the series got a little weird, but it was definitely still enjoyable!

Warnings: gun violence
Rep: sapphic rep
This final volume somehow rescued the series, as it explains all the stuff going on, clears many doubts, and gives it a satisfactory ending. Still, I'm like - so no one is going to send Ginko to therapy, huh? The story takes us back to the past, telling about the friendship between the three girls - Yurika, Kale and Reia, and how the romantic feelings between them led to the situations of the present. Ginko's guilt in the previous volume finally made sense when it was revealed what she actually remembered. Sumika helps them all reconcile with their past guilt and grief (well, except for Ginko because she was knocked out cold from the Truth) so Yurika and Kale can move on from Reia, while Kureha supports Ginko through the revelation. The absence of panty shots was a plus, too. So, overall, it had a decent enough ending.

Mm.. I'm not sure about this ending. It's not bad, I just feel like taking out the stakes like this made it less impactful than it could've been.
On the other hand, this dreamy and wispy ending fits with the narrative and overall themes of "it's never too late" and "you can rewrite your own story".
In general, this last volume felt more disjointed and all over the place, compared to the other two. Still good, just felt like it could've been a bit tighter. Some chapters just felt like fillers.
That said, the whole series really touched my heart, and the finale was no exception on that front. It was a really heartwarming series, made me tear up several times, and caused me to think back on situations from my own life and put things into perspective.
I loved it. ❤️ And the art was great, as always.

I’m glad I read the rest of the series, but I still prefer the anime version. The manga of Ikuhara’s works always seem to be adapted very bizarrely, even though - granted - the stories themselves are pretty quirky to begin with. If you like cute art and can parse through a bit of a confusing storyline, then maybe give this series a try.

This was a strange series and the story was a disappointment. The art was good.
I believe Yuri Bear Storm began as an anime and the manga followed after. The manga was not very good.

And the lesson of the day is that Yuri is passed on through the placenta. 🤣
