The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me

Allright then. Finished this manga and I wanted to say a bit about it because I have mixed feelings and the synopsis MAL gives you is pretty crappy as of right now. ‘All of Humanity is Yuri Except For Me’ is a relatively short manga about a girl who suddenly finds herself in a world where men don’t exist. She starts panicking and questioning if all of this is real but calms down when she gets in contact with a girl who agrees to believe her story. From there on out they try to find clues as to how this happened as well as howto reverse it, while in the meantime the fact that this other girl falls in love with her complicates things a bit. The start seemed very promising to me. I like parallel worlds, I like yuri and I like mysteries that need to be solved. It sounded like a safe manga to read to have a good time. And looking at it afterwards it still kinda was, but not as good as I hoped it to be. I did like the characters and the setting, and I also liked the determination of the protagonist to set things straight, both with getting back to her original world and her friendship with the second girl. However after around the halfway point it became pretty clear what the rest of the manga will focus on: the protagonist trying to get home and the romance getting tenser and more exciting. And don’t get me wrong, those were both things that were ‘advertised to be there’ from the very beginning. My problem is with the fact that everything else is kind of neglected. For example: The whole fact that the entire world consists of nothing but girls. You know, the whole title of this manga? In the first like 2 chapters this matters, but in by far the larger second half it doesn’t matter whatsoever. It’s a different world than the one the protagonist came from and that’s it, the fact that the difference is that all men are gone doesn’t really affect the story at all. Another thing I could complain about is that side characters only appear for a very short time and then just become irrelevant, but I guess that’s to be expected from a short manga. You should read this if: - You like the isekai genre (but don’t think about it too much) - You like having an all-girl cast - You want to have a short read with some decent yuri romance in it You shouldn't read this if: - You take world-building very seriously - You don’t like it after the first chapter (it will be a lot more of that) - You don’t like yuri at all (in which case, how did you even get here?) Initial score: 8.0/10 Final score: 7.0/10 [Also at the time of writing this there were no other reviews for this manga yet, so here you go!]
