The only thing here that's actually true is the 4-koma tag.

Agreed.

Mm, how does a story in which a character spends most of the chapters upset that she can't go out with a boy she likes not deserve the Het tag? Even if she ends up with the girl in the end, 2 out of the 3 characters spend most chapters in love with members of the opposite sex. I don't see how it's not het at all.

The same argument applies to Bisexual and Love Triangle. Whether or not the story didn't go as you expected, how are the tags not "True"?

Because if they end up with a girl they obviously were gay from the start. That is how it works, right?

Well no, if we follow th first post, the yuri tag is wrong too

If you're going with a lawyer-esque analysis of "is this here? true/false" then yes you can add anything you find in the tags. On the other hand, you can see that several commenters here have clearly been misled by the tags that barely has any relevance to the story's substance.

Barely any relevance? She spends almost every chapter in love with the male. Only towards the end does she truly fall for the girl.

She loved a guy, therefore it's het. There're 3 people, therefore it's a love triangle.

I disagree. This is a story about the evolution of the love between two women. The dynamics that you'd expect from a het and love triangle story are nearly not there and in a very subdued manner. Perhaps different readers will take away from the story differently, however.

I will agree the tags are not literally wrong but I argue that the tag list does not give the impression that the story deserves.

Bisexual. What you're describing here is a bisexual girl realizing she's not het.

I'd agree with replacing the het tag with bisexual, but not with having only the yuri tag.

Love triangle definitely applies, since from the MC's point of view that's exactly what is happening.

"I feel like I've heard one weird story..." You and us both, Sugi-san.

The absence of the Aaaaaangst tag baffles me. These characters mope at each other instead of yelling, but it's still wall-to-wall angst.

Okay...This was kind of cute. The ending was a bit sudden, i would have liked an extra chapter with the couple interacting more but this was cute too. Also, Sugi supporting them was a great addition...Reminds me of the whole Makorrasami love triangle thing. I would really like it if Mako supports Korra and Asami like Sugi did.

Same here, i would like something like more kissing or more emotional shots - would be pretty satisfying

Oh, this was soooo sweeeet!!! Best manga of the month for me. Didn't see anything bisexual in it by the way. And I wonder if the author portrays herself in Momoka or Sakura. I really like her works.

Well, Momoka didn't have a single successful relationship with a guy... so she was in a closet, experimenting... and Sakura.. Same for Sakura. And you know what? That guy... HE was totally gay! LOL

Huh, no drama out of the male counterpart in the "triangle". What a surprising turn of events. I think Sugi might be one of the chillest guys in a love triangle manga I've read so far.

I would have liked too have seen one of their kisses, but overall what a lovely little romance <3

Sweet, but too short!

Let's see.. 4koma, het and love triangle. No thanks.

But also: Adult life, Bisexual, Drama, Yuri

So, do you not like the way "Legend of Korra" ends? Because, frankly, other than the 4koma part, since it is a TV series, it would have all of those tags except for Yuri. (Hopefully the comic version will have the Yuri part!)

I just re-read this one today because I stumbled across it. It is a pretty nice, short, sweet story.

I'd come across this every now and then when im skimming through the directory, but would avoid it cos of the tags. Finally gave it a shot, and it's actually not that bad. Ending fell short though :/
