Really danogoat? you find this one cute? well everybody has their tastes i guess.
For me this ones look disgusting, yet the irony is that, it's all because of some extra details like the dirty lines and the pee even looking a bit gooey instead of watery, they technically are the same yukkuris, but only a few details make them disgusting instead of just being "annoyingly moeblob". Maybe the idea is to make them as bleh inducing as normal house pests?
And i wouldn't blame anon getting angry, nobody likes any for of small pest invaders (cockroaches, mices, rats, etc.) in their home doing stuff, specially if they speak like cutesy idiots, house pests can really make anybody angry with their pressence, aside of disgusted.
I find it cute because its a drawing, nothing more nothing less. If it were real they would look like SUNs Yus and those would deserve a quick squashing (no offense to SUN)
Well Justice, I mean, the thing about Kiriataa's Yukkuri is that they aren't arrogant as much as oblivious.
Which, for a lot of people, I'm sure, makes them far less anger inducing- for me it's easy to imagine squishing a yukkuri because it is trying to kick me out of my own home than finding one hidden behind a shelf.
If I were in his shoes I'd give them the spider treatment- Bundle them up in something (probably a bag for creatures the size of a yukkuri) carry them outside, and maybe scare the piss out of them so they are too afraid to come back.
Then again Kiri's anons seem to have a burning rage in their hearts that can be quelled only by abuse. At least in his longer stories; he had that one page with a few panels with the old guy that kept fighting off the Marisa.
Personally I think if he were to do something like that it would be pretty awesome, even if just for a change of pace.
Hey, different things appeal to different people; dano finds it cute, but I on the other hand consider it an unholy abomination that violates the laws of nature.
I personally can't look too closely at kiri's yukkuri anymore. His yukkuri passed cute a long time ago for me and actually make me feel nauseated now. Especially those puffy braid Reimus. It's just about at the point where I don't even care about abusing them or not, I just can't stand looking at them too long. It's kinda funny.
But, kiri generally introduces or fleshes out some interesting concepts. Personally would like to see him explore other types a little, but to each his own.
I would actually like him to do a story (not necessarily FF) where the moeblob isn't a factor, but rather the yukkuri's actions sentence it to abuse rather than what it looks like.
Lets not jump the gun here and assume that mister raita is writing exactly the story you think he is. Its only been three pages. And if you look at his work its all very very different. Baby Marisa and The Shelled Marisa: About rare yukkuri types and sibling violence. No anons, no abuse.
Between Exams(or whatever): I guy accidentally brings yukkuri into existence by hitting his computer and uses them to relieve some stress from his exams. Very mild abuse. All yukkuri survive, and the anon warms up to the yukkuri.
True Happiness: Starts out looking like a family friendly story and then just turns into pure unadulterated abuse, with an (almost) interesting twist ending.
So basically, he's only written one pure abuse story and yet you guys instantly claim that all he writes are angry anon beating on innocent yukkuri stories?
Lets give the man a chance before we judge his work based on an untranslated third page...
I agree with Fragtagonal, specially since between the 2 previous anon, the only truly "angry" one was ironically tame on his abuse and had a case of freudian excuse out of family issues, meanwhile the True Happiness one was a darn cool headed fellow that knew what he was doing and didn't rage, just enjoyed his "true happiness".
Since we are already doing a mixture of theorizing the story and commenting what we would like kiri do. I would actually like if this "House Yu" turns out to be some sort of semi documental about variations of the yukkuri species meant to invade and live in homes like pests. Having this cockroach like minikurris (at least kiri's take on them), maybe Anon dispatch them quickly and unceremoniously, then he goes to his garden to find a burrow of the recently discovered "Molekurri" type, a more subterranean yukkuri that acts like a mole and the story goes on showing new variants as anon deal with them and cleans up his house.
Hourai said: Ohh, that would be pretty cool. Tiny flier "flies" that get into food? Large "rat" like ones that makes holes in the walls? I like it.
Maybe we should make a list of "home pest" ideas for yukkuri variations. Even if Kiri doesn't do it, it would be cool if someone picked it up, at least, for a fic.
Man, this artist really loves his anons to have big giant meat-head chins. This one isn't as bad as the last guy, but seriously, its like all his anons are relatives of Jay Leno or something.
There's always the microwave story, but that story had a combination of pure trash and obliviousness. However, the entire nature of that story (it's anon included) is a different can of worms from top to bottom.

It's implied that they were crushed off-camera, but Kiri copped out with that comic, so whatever.

He mentions that they're getting him through a tough time and thanks them. He does mention a full course smashing, but he also mentions them getting more resilient. He could simply be ramping up the torture without killing them still.
The Microwave story is different because it's based on a series of Ankos, like ShellMarisa and i think Between Studies was one as well, but i don't recall correctly.

Unholy abomination? No, thats the stuff SUN makes, not these guys. (My opinion.)
violates the laws of nature? Yukkuri violate the laws of nature simply by existing, remember? Doesn't matter how cute or nightmare inducing an individual one may be, they still shouldn't exist.
To clarify, since I'm sure someone will take that wrong if I don't. Shouldn't exist as in, theres no reasonable or logical way they could have come into existence! NOT as in, I think they don't deserve to exist or whatever and should all be killed.
Let's not go off on too large a tangent on what Kiri does and what he should do, etc. Let's just see what happens. Ah, Kiri's update schedule has been erratic lately, I've been missing his brand of abuse.
All yukkuri survive, and the anon warms up to the yukkuri.
Quite the opposite is suggested at the end... but I agree with the rest. I find Kiri's stuff unique (why I refer to it as his brand), personally, even if everything's been done before. Predictable doesn't matter, it's enjoyable.
And I'm sure you're taking what Red_Ruin said /far/ too seriously, Maximus. I think it's more of an expression that he doesn't find it 'cute'.

The reason I find myself disagreeing is that he Yukkuri seem to be aware of what a "full course smashing" is. The ymight get a bit scared if they were hearing it for the first time, but their bawling suggests to me that they have been exposed to it before.
It would also seem inconsistent with his behavior the entire story to simply smash them- especially since he is savoring their suffering in missing an eye and promising to give them the eyes back. If he was going to kill them I think he would have ruined the eyes in front of them first.
I guess it is sort of an opinion thing, unless someone asks the guy directly and we get an answer.
What I was addressing was whether he warmed up to them- regardless of whether he carried on torturing them, or simply smashed them, he wasn't warming up to them (if anything, getting bored/annoyed).
And it really is an opinions thing. Most of it is really just pulling things out of the air...
Can't Take it Easy when they Go Dumb Over 9000! It's very uneasy and non city-sect! JIE doesn't get it! At the end yukkuris are DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKS!
Figured I'd chip in with what I would probably do in this guy's shoes (assuming I Was angry about the mess). I would box them into the area they're currently in and the bathroom. The only opening would be a tiny hole through which they could use the bathroom (with a cup or whatever set up on the other side as a toilet of sorts) I would tell them that I wouldn't set them free or feed them normal food unless they got rid of all the poop and pee from the interior of the area. Essentially they'd have to clean up as much of the poop as they could and try to eat/drink the rest until it was gone. It'd be hilarious, especially since yukkuri find their waste far more repulsive than humans do.

yukkuri catchphrases, yukkuri catchphrases everywhere -da ze
You know, after reading the comic again and paying attention to the panel order, i realized the guy has even more reasonable reasons to be angry.
While we gou about "CUTE VS YUCK" we forget that there is a pile of yukkuri shit and yukkuri pee in his house, and that he witnesses how uncaringly one of the perpetrors of that, goes and pees there just to add even more salt to the injury.
Think of it like if you found rat shit and piss in your bedroom and suddenly you see a lone rat that hadn't realize you are there, walking around and then pissing and shitting more in your bedroom, not exactly a nice thing uh? even quite rage worthy, uh?
