I wonder if the yuri-world her realized in studying history that she had a fetish for guys, so she decided to figure out a way to switch places with a version of her somewhere that there were some. Lucky for the MC she's probably into girls and just hasn't realized it yet.
I respect that they're confronting the weirdness of the world being so similar after such a major divergence.
Starts me to remind me of this story concept, where one dude falls in love with girl, they get together, wakes up and finds out, that the girl was from a parallel world and the exact same girl from his world doesnt love him, nor does his parallel counterpart love the parallel girl in the parallel world.
So that means, if they switch in this story, it makes sense, if Purplelibraryguy is correct.
@KZO It's parallel due to the explanation in an earlier chapter, where all guys started dying off 100 years ago. This is the timeline where the female population had to invent a way for reproduction to continue without males to provide the genetic material. If it had simply changed into a female-only world, then I don't think there'd be an explanation like that, other than "it's just how this world is".
@anon763 You mindblow me here, it make so much sense.
I think the macarons are a trap, i think the Yuriverse sister don't like macarons and so it confirm to Imoto that this sister here is not the real one. Maybe the link between the two universes is in Osaka.
The use of Contemporary on Page 2 doesn't make any sense. They're discussing Ancient history. Contemporary refers to current events or relatively recent history since 1945, and Modern refers to the 16th century at the earliest. Modern is a bit questionable as well, since that would only be referring to a period of 30 some years between when the historical differences start in the 1910's, and 1945. Assuming the manga takes place within a few years of our own current year. Technically correct is the best kind of correct though, so it's not wrong. Just weird.
Don't know if this is because of translation or the manga author, but there's definitely something wrong there.
Because society that has advanced its science to the point where women can impregnate each other is clearly technologically inferior to our society that can't do this, right?
@Noneimus, well, technically, without a lot more data we have no idea whether they're more or less technologically advanced than us. Artificial insemination in our world is advancing fairly quickly, to the point where if this isn't currently possible it will certainly be possible within the next 10 years, and that's despite the research involved having to navigate around several ethical and sociopolitical landmines. Considering the issue was literally life-or-death of the species for the Yuriworld scientists, I'm pretty sure they had a lot more motivation and funding than our world's ones.
I’m sure we all came to the conclusion (well,theory) that her “me” is the one from the Yuri world who was most likely not happy with her life in said world,so she most likely found a way to change to a world in which she would finally find happiness (or something along those lines)
I came for the art. I stayed for: the likeable characters, the chapter comments (seriously it's like a DVD commentary from when those were a thing), and the unexpectedly good multiverse mechanisms. Yeah, I know there's a huge contradiction in this very chapter, i.e. Lily saying it was lucky the test didn't cover the modern history VS. her observations about recent events matching more closely. Ignoring that, the part about divergent universes that coincidentally resemble each other in some ways is a damn interesting device. It looks like MC's counterpart was able to somehow bridge the gap, by maybe using -- I don't know -- quantum entanglement or suchlike to hook on to "points" of similarity.
