Immediate reaction: This feels so dooooomed....

Comment reactions: The discussion has been stimulating. People have drawn up a number of interesting parallels and contrasts. It's inspired me to share my thought on how Yuu and Nanami compare.

Yuu is clearly naive in love and/or romantic relationships, but that makes perfect sense with her lack of experience. Some people just start late with the whole liking people thing--and it can come on very suddenly. She seems to be dealing with this (new to her) situation all right to me. The thing that really struck me was the close of chapter 17 (when the plot of the play is revealed) as we see a conclusion materializing in her head. I found that sequence very pleasing because my take away was that Yuu wasn't going to be just another dense-about-emotions character. I think Yuu's neurological wiring and/or emotional disposition is less familiar to most of us,

I am with everyone thinking Yuu is headed straight into a heart trap, but the real tragedy for me is Nanami. Nanami is self destructing and Yuu is one of the innocent by standers (the other being Sayaka) she is sort of dragging along for a bit on her way. She thinks she can or she is trying to handle more (self-imposed) responsibilities and expectations than she can. And the girl cannot let go (on her own).

I think Touko truly cares for Yuu, but her sister still seems to be too more important. She has to keep Yuu at a distance (by teasing, not talking too deeply, too long about herself, etc.). It was naive of her to act with Yuu like some robot or forever-puppy-type who would not develop feelings while being in an overtly romantic relationship. It was naive and a bit selfish, but I would also call it hopeful and desperate. If, upon realizing Yuu's feelings, Touko tries to dismiss them and disconnect, they are both going to suffer greatly; be it grief, betrayal (Yuu), hopelessness (Touko) nor withdrawal (either). I am not sold on Yuu's ever more apparent attraction being the main catalyst, but it will not mix well into whatever welling up in Touko's situation.

One last thought (re parallels): Touko is not the only one fighting for her image (or images). Yuu is trying to deny her perceived loss of her stolid persona. (She's feeling affected.) Yuu's struggle seems much more of a bittersweet (maybe more bitter than sweet) coming of age tale; whereas Touko's facades breaking down seems like it could be a more lasting scar on her life. It's really interesting how these two and their stories are interacting.

This manga is so very refreshing. I have no clue what is going to happen, but the romantic in me is looking forward to it. This has romantic tragedy written all over it!

P.S. +1 to Nakatani doing a story for adults. Or just anything post high school, really.

^ Buy all the releases! Support Nakatani! Make the anime adaptation a reality!

Edit: @ffins07 Love your post, btw. You pretty much got the essence & developments of the manga down really nicely & comprehensively.

I was re-reading and something doesn't make sense... in the first part she says "I will make you fall in love with me" and then 8 chapters later she thinks "please don't fall in love with me"... I DON'T GET IT, did the author forgot that she wrote the first part?

Idk when or where you reread, but Dynasty has updated the earlier chapters with the translations from 4s, because iHoshiku had made 2-3 translation mistakes
Here's the page/chapter you were quoting

Talking about glaring TL mistakes, I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but this page rlly bothers me. Apparently, Yuu is not saying that Touko is the most important person to her, but that she believes Touko needs her the most and so she decides to stay by her side. This makes sense in context of the entire story so far while "I believe that you're the most important person to me" just comes out of nowhere.

The image at the end of this chapter implies the birth of her new feelings emerging. The way she's shown in a fetus position like she's born anew - very clever from the author.

I kinda thought it was about innocence, since Yuu's falling in love for the first time, she's completely unguarded for the heartbreak Touko's bound to give her.

What?!?! She's going to reject her? And, if that's true, why would you spoil that? :(

^ It's just a prediction. Since Touko doesn't want Yuu to love her, some of us predict that Touko will cause Yuu a heartbreak of some form at some point if Yuu starts to let her feelings slip out too much (doesn't have to be rejection though).

P/s: I love your avatar <3

Just re-read it, found further evidence that Touko's gonna break Yuu's heart. Check out the bit in chapter 13 when Touko appears terrified that Yuu's happy to be with her.

Touko is really a selfish blockhead, she says that love is violent that she don't want it, yet she imposes exactly that on Yuu.
In my opinion her love for Yuu is just an egocentric way she found to relax herself when she need to.

Preview for next chap. Look at them cuties in their casual clothes <3
The title suggests a focus on our love triangle this time while the tweet & spoiler pic mention bath time (Sayaka's first time going to a public bath house?)

I'm not part of the scanlator crew, but from past experience, the answer to that question is probably "When it's done". :-)

Hi Koveras,
Thanks for responding- I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to rush the creative process, I just didn't know if there was a release schedule for the chapters. I only started reading this series recently and noticed that a lot of the chapters seem to be uploaded around the 1st and 30th of the month, so I was hoping to confirm that the latest chapter may be coming up soon! I'm just excited :)

^ This series is released on the 27th every month. So it'll be coming out next week (Raws have been leaked earlier than release date lately tho). The TL team is pretty fast so the translated chap comes out about a few days afterwards. We'll have our new chap soon :)

Awwww, she's rolling in bed! That's a good/bad sign - depending on whose perspective we're speaking from.

It really looks like it's building up to something truly great. Hope it's going to be cathartic af, but not too tragic

"To touch or not to touch?"
That's a million dollar question right there. Especially coming from Yuu lol
