"Nyoooo my life needs a narrative arc that ends in passion and flamessss!!!!" go to therapy

go to therapy

Are you high? It's a well-known Japanese Fact™ that therapy is not an okay thing to engage in, or even acknowledge the existence of! We can't be having with such dangerous things. It invites you to examine your life, gain perspective, and sort out your feelings! Understanding your feelings is expressly forbidden in Japan!

They are supposed to stay vague, confusing sources of thought and drive! If you knew what those things were that made you doki doki in the kokoro, you might find some direction and purpose in your life, and that upsets the status quo!

What then, I ask you?!
WHAT THEN??

Fucking finally

Akane is the girl Kaede met in high school with which she had a co-dependent lesbian relationship, until Akane grew up out of it and dumped her.

Oh thank you!
I don't recall knowing about Akane san.
Thank you!

I'm glad that Ai went to meet Kaeda and was able to see through her. If she didn't, I think it would have haunted her the rest of her life. I still wished she threw away the pendent though. If not her herself, then for Gon.

I could see that for Kaede's sake but keeping the pendant is a powerful decision as well. It shows how little meaning it has for AI now. Throwing it away could carry the feeling of AI needing to distance herself from something she can't resist.

It makes sense. I get that throwing it away would give it too much value. But If it has no meaning to her, keeping it doesn't make sense as well (might just be me, but I don't like to keep useless/meaningless stuff). She could sell it and buy something nice for Kon for example.

I was thinking the same
She decided to keep it instead
I.. I think I would have given the pendant back to Kaede san if I'm Ai san because I've reached a conclusion that Kon san is the person I would like to be with (if I'm Ai san).

As the pendant itself a symbol of becoming one to whoever that holds with another person, therefore I assume that, perhaps giving back to Kaede san could give her another chance to find her fateful one again (that's what I think of)

She give up of her chance of two timing, it will be the last dramatic stuff of the story

I love this manga... I can't wait for the final chapter!

THIS could perfectly have been the final chapter, you know

I really love this author. I am not typically a fan of big drama, but I trust them to deliver plot beats that actually resonate with me rather than being silly & frustrating. This easily could have been something I hated, but this chapter was so good, so cathartic. Thanks for the ride, looking forward to the final chapter.

I was so afraid that Kaede would try to poison Ai... When I saw her pick up the pitcher, my heart sank.Right now I'm crying with relief and happiness.
Just one more chapter to go. Please, make it sweet and happy!
