Regarding the origins of “Slightly Sour Secrets”

很多朋友经常在评论区问同㇐个问题，这漫画到底是不是百合？为什么不表上百合的标签？
A lot of friends often ask the same question in the discussion zone, “Does this manhua belong to the ‘yuri’ genre? Why isn’t there a ‘yuri’ tag?”
也有不少说我们只是㇐部打着百合幌子的漫画。。。。
There are also many who say that our manhua is using the yuri theme as a disguise…
关于微酸秘密是不是个百合漫，这个问题实在是很难回答。。。
Regarding whether “slightly sourish secrets” is a yuri manhua, it is a very difficult question to answer…
我经常跟制作成员讨论这个问题时，也会问:到底他们所期望的百合到底是什么？
I often discuss this question with the production members and ask, “what’s their expectation of yuri?”
只是兩个漂亮女孩走在㇐起谈恋爱？
Is it just two pretty girls getting together and falling in love with each other?
不断安排亲密场面？如果是这样的话那就很容易画了~~
Arrange intimate scenes Continuously? If it’s like this, then it’s very easy to draw~~
但是这样的故事真的能打动人吗？
But will this type of story be able to arouse the feelings of the mass public?
在这里我先向大家解说㇐下，微酸秘密这故事是怎样出来的吧，我本人是这个故事的原作者，全个故事的构成 、人物登场,分镜都是由我把控着。
Over here, I’ll first explain to everyone the origins of the story of “Slightly sourish secrets”. I’m the author of this story, and I’m in control of the structure, the characters in the story and the storyboard.
而原画是梅梅——大话梅负责。
And mei mei (梅梅) is responsible for the original art.
我个人是喜欢天马行空、打打杀杀的故事！对爱情漫画是完全没兴趣的……既然对这类故事没爱，那为什么我仍然能写出来呢？
I’m a person who likes stories that are unconstrained and filled with violence! I’ve totally no interest in romance manhua … so how did I managed to write a story like this even though I have totally no interest in it?

答：
Answer:
原因是#微酸秘密＃並不是㇐个虚构的故事，而是参考㇐个真人真事而改编的。小然角色，确是真有其人，当然真人並没这么富有。
The reason is that “slightly sourish secrets” is not a fictious story, but a story that is adapted from a real-life story.
真人版的人名字叫然然，她是我前女友的㇐个好友，在认识我之前两人就十分要好，天天出双入对，不过她从 来没怀疑过然然的性取向问题，原因是然然也有㇐个男朋友！
In the real-life version, the main character’s name is ran ran. She is one of my ex – girlfriend’s good friend, and they were already very close even before knowing me. The two of them were always together, but she had never suspected ran ran’s sexual orientation because ran ran also had a boyfriend!
后来，然然和男友分手……数年后，她的打扮外型变得男性化，也有㇐个女朋友，明确了她是同性恋者。
After that, ran ran broke up with her boyfriend …. Many years later, she dressed up in a more masculinized manner and had a girlfriend. Hence, she is obviously gay.
这时候我前女友才意识到，然然是不是曾经喜欢自己……
This was when my ex – girlfriend questioned whether ran ran was ever interested in herself…
只是当时并没有想过她有同性倾向，也没对她做任何事情，她也说如果她知道然然的心意，也是会考虑的！
Just that back that she didn’t think that ran ran had homosexual tendencies, and she didn’t do anything to her to show it. She also mentioned that if she knew ran ran’s intentions, she would have considered her!
真实的百合並不是大家想象那么的浪漫，美好，纯洁的爱情，当中有很多问题需要去面对，在中国人社会里， 同性恋者很怕被亲人,朋友知道，怕人家用怪异眼光看自己。
Real Yuri is not as romantic, wonderful and pure as what everyone imagines it to be. There are a lot of problems that need to be faced. In a Chinese society, homosexuals are very afraid to be found out by relatives and friends. They are afraid that others will look at themselves with a strange gaze.
在＃微酸秘密#中我都在描写同性恋者这种矛盾的心情，这是在同性恋故事中必然会碰到的问题，如果我们不谈 这个问题，只是说小然喜欢小悠，然后两人最后很快乐在㇐起！身边的亲朋好友也祝福她们……
In “slightly sourish secrets”, I describe the conflicting feelings of gay people. This is a theme which is unavoidable in a gay romance story. If we were not to talk about this problem, but only talk about xiao ran being in love with xiao you, and then both are together happily ever after! Friends and relatives around them give them their blessings …
对不起，这种扭曲的世界观，并不是我想要表达的东西……
Sorry, this kind of twisted worldview, is not what I want to convey …
