Argh, everyone talks about bad yaoi tropes, but there also exists bad yuri tropes - sexual assault, boob grabbing, etc are hilarious and flirtatious. Is this series good besides that? I've never heard of it.

It's actually more of a franchise than an anime/manga series. It started out as a fictional idol group with songs and animated music videos, along with drama CDs, I think? But it has a manga series, two seasons of an anime, and a movie now. I think most people know it because of the app game though.

I think it's a really awesome series, and it's the first anime-thing I've watched in years. The characters are all pretty unique (they don't really entirely break away from the archetype they're supposed to represent, but they're still wonderful), and the songs are really amazing. I actually think this trait of Nozomi's is the worst thing about it, otherwise it's pretty good.

Honestly bad yaoi tropes and bad yuri tropes have a HUGE overlap, and it's because of the same gross assumption that gay relationships are alien and "not real~" or "not important".

-Sexual assault as a joke, yaoi and yuri have this in pretty equal measure, and the perpetrator is either shown as being a lothario (yaoi) or a harmless "female pervert" (yuri).

-Bedroom roles by looks. Tall sporty girl? She's going to be the sexual aggressor, no ifs, ands, or buts! Small, delicate looking guy? Better lube up your butthole boy, or the seme is going in dry!

-Everyone Is Gay

-One or more characters are so sexually compelling that other characters change their orientation for them...

-The usual "I can't be gay!" freak out, done in a way that implies said character finds gay sex and gay people in general disgusting, and you end up wondering how she or he is even going to have a relationship.

I'm missing about 8 million more tropes, but you get the same idea. You really start realizing that it's indicative of some gross cultural views about LGBT people that is warring with the sexual, fetishizing appeal of m/m or f/f relationships (usually for a largely straight audience of men or women).
