| Gunjo (Manga) | comment |
The most common Yuri story follows a rather simple formula. Two schoolgirls fall in love, their relationship dynamic is built around being different ages and the worst thing that could happen is being called mean names (at least in modern yuri stories for the most part). Gunjo however, is not the common yuri story at all.Written and drawn by Nakamura Ching, Gunjo tells the tale of two adult women on the run from the police. They killed a man. To be more specific, the Brunette told her Blonde lesbian friend that she loved her and asked her to kill the Brunette's abusive husband. The Blonde did and, for some reason, the Brunette opted to help her friend avoid the police. Their relationship together is anything from the typical one seen. It is abusive, unstable and obsessive. Gunjo is very blunt about this fact.Gunjo is certainly not a series for everyone, but it is one to investigate if one is looking for a different sort of yuri.After years of failed attempts, it received a Broad Strokes Netflix live-action film adaptation called Ride Or Die, which premiered on April 15, 2021. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Occasionally we get hints that Brunette might feel something for Blonde, even if it's a very twisted and dysfunctional something. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Gunjo (Manga) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Blonde's loan to the Brunette and her conditions (they'd have sex in five years if the Brunette couldn't pay it back) led to the Brunette marrying a horribly abusive man in order to pay back the money. What's worse is that the Blonde wasn't serious about the sex; she just wanted to help her friend. | |

Fan Disservice: Seeing Blonde topless, but covered in dried blood and with open knife wounds on her arms and breasts. Any nude scenes of Brunette will involve seeing the massive bruises that cover her body. At one point, the two women have sex in the bathroom while Brunette is having her period. We even see Blonde's fingers get all bloody. The woman from ch. 2 is shown in a later chapter bathing with her barely-toddler-age son; the point at which we see her breasts is when she discovers that he's drowned in the bathtub. | |
