Between Bride Story and Shirley Mori's work seems to have a running theme of celebrating feminine gender roles while simultaneously challenging their boundaries, which definitely gives off some queer vibes imo.

I don’t expected the inquisition to be a bit, uh, different

I understand that the protagonists in these kinds of stories need to be at least a little bit stupid to keep the plot going, but these melons are a particularly wonderful brand of dumbass.

So I'm looking forward to seeing each and everyone of them getting smooshed.

Man, I've been looking forward to that splash page. Those are all real historical helmets, by the way.

There's a reason horror story protagonists are almost always dumb shitheads, especially in the case of white/dominant ethnicity people refusing to heed the advice of locals who know better.

Bride Story has a completely standalone volume dedicated to queer romance, spoilered for people reading the series: volume 12 is a lovingly drawn depiction of two mothers discovering bisexuality and love together in an Iranian bathhouse. It’s no light hinting with maybe some illicit handholding stuff, it’s very clearly physical attraction and ends in an unambiguous let’s get married, I love you like I love my husband declarations before getting into bed and lights out.

In addition to the above (if someone wants to check it out, it's volumes 7-8 though, not 12, but the characters involved do show up in volume 12 too), I've done a dive into Mori's works lately and it's very clear that she has a real appreciation for the female form and absolutely enjoys drawing naked ladies. She did a four-page "Cover Story" for Fellows! (which changed its name to Harta in 2013), the magazine A Bride's Story was originally published in (in 2020 it moved to Aokishi magazine), and the focal point of each of those four pages is the lovingly rendered butt of a woman wearing Daisy Dukes. And of all the things in her works that could count as fanservice of the sexy kind, there is one scene in A Bride's Story where it's completely focused on a man, every other instance involves women.

It's definitely at the point where Mori being Not Straight just makes more sense than the alternative.

drat, they were organized enough to murder a man and stick the body in Lyndon's house? It's a wonder how A) Trixie got as far in this presidential race as she has and B) They hosed up that purse snatching idea so badly.
