If I remember correctly, the "Shoujo Ai" genre wasn't there a few months ago... Why was it added? Is there girls love in this manga? I want to read it because I really like the art and the concept but it would be a let down for me if there was girls love in the story.

Can someone tell me if there is or not and, in case there is, "how much" it is? Like, it's a girl who likes another girl but isn't requited, or if there's actually two girls in a relationship or something? I don't mind spoilers.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Just leave it like this, pls, for the sake of those who do mind.
.

Thank you very much!!

I normally don't respond in series forums, but this has literally been a manga with GL vibes from the start. I doubt the the girls will get together, but this is a shoujo ai with subtle twisted interactions between the protagonist and other female characters from what I remember.
If you really feel hurt, go read one of the hundreds of manga that don't have anything gay in them and get over it.

The tags have been rearranged this year (i used the Wayback Machine), but they all look fine enough to me. About the are they gay question.
Not really, the whole manga has no connection to real life but the GL and BL genres don´t really need to either. Just don´t assign a Yuri tag and all will be fine. Unless later raw volumes went there, which would surprise me. This ain´t a relationship manga, moving on.

Thank you for your reply, ms_nobody. You took the time to answer me even though you don't usually do it. You seem offended by my question, though. I apologize if I offended you, but I tend to shy away from manga that have gay characters in them because shoujo/shonen ai and yuri/yaoi are genres I do not like.

I might still give a try to Kasane because, according to residentgrigo's response, (thank you very much too) it doesn't seem to be a major part of the plot.
