“Purity” is most commonly used as a shorthand for chastity or sexlessness, and generally refers to stories that don't engage with sex at all. Though Yamada's sincerity and innocence is part of Kase-san's appeal, the way it engages with the girls' sexuality is just as important. Sex does exist in Kase-san, and while the series focuses primarily on Kase and Yamada’s emotional relationship, it also explores their physical relationship and sexual attraction to each other from the very first chapter. The post [Feature] Kase-san and Queer Thirst: Depicting sexuality in a “pure” yuri manga appeared first on ANIME FEMINIST.
