Has Ten's psychological problems and torment, even before Lulu's arrival, has anything to do with Sakuya? Is so which chapter provides the clues? Or it was never mentions? Or it comes from a different incident? The previous chapter she was accused by old acquaintances for trying to play prince again. There was no further explanations.

They've expanded on it a bit. I don't recall the exact chapters but as I remember it her and Sakuya used to be very close, with a kind of romantic subtext to their relationship. I believe Ten ended up falling for Sakuya but Sakuya then spread a rumour around that Ten was stalking her and being creepy which ruined Ten's reputation at their school and shattered her self esteem and trust.

Now it's been a bit since I read those chapter so I might be misremembering things but that was the gist of it as I recall.

Thinking about it more I started to remember Sakuya being the one that fell in love with Ten, so I went re-read and yeah in chapter 9 Ten tells Lulu about how Ten rejected Sakuya’s feelings. Sakuya viewed herself as the princess and Ten the prince. We know also that after the rejection Sakuya’s feelings turned to hate and lead to her painting Ten as a stalker that was obsessed with her, where Sakuya destroyed Ten’s social life and made everyone disgusted and afraid of Ten. Which is to say Sakuya has been set up and established as the source of Ten’s trauma throughout the series.

Yeah, was about to mention that myself. Although I haven't re-read the manga (yet), I could've sworn I recall Sakuya being the one who was one-sidedly in love with Ten like you mentioned, and not the other way around like the person you replied to seems to have recall. And then, upon being rejected, getting her revenge by ruining her social life with lies that she knew everyone would believe because it was she who said them. And now she's back to causing trouble to Ten and Lulu again. Hence my last comment saying that I want to punch Sakuya. Which, just for the record, I still do want to.

Ten rejected Sakuya and Sakuya slandered her in revenge. Being a psychopath.

That's pretty much the usual level of inane I remember from all the drama of my middle school tbh

Uh is she thinking of leavin!? Ten basically just confessed how much better her life is now that Lulu is part of it. Please don't go getting the wrong idea and just leave..

Honestly don't get why she wants to go talk to the malicious midget Sakuya either. The chick scared and lied soo badly that you were forced to change schools and from the little we've seen of her she hasn't really changed at all. What does Ten think she's gonna accomplish by talking to her? Even if she tells Ten sorry I'd feel she's doing it because she basically wants something out of it. A person like that doesn't just randomly change.

It might be wishful thinking on my part, but I think it reads as the opposite. Lulu was feeling insecure about her place next to Ten, only for Ten to affirm that she does like having Lulu next to her and that Lulu Does bring value to her life despite what Lulu was starting to fear. So now Lulu feels more reassured about being with Ten again

I don't think it's wishful thinking, that was my read on it too.

I feel like Ten has grown a lot, but I worry about Lulu. It seems like she could vanish at any second.

I dunno the face Lulu was making didn't seem like she was reassured about being able to stand next to Ten. To me it felt like she thought Ten was better off without her and she didn't need Lulu next to her to shine so she was thinking about leaving. I hope that's just my usual overthinking coming through.

Now that I re-read it. I think I get the disconnect in the tie down like in the romantic sense... Love and the fiancé stuff being put aside so she can just be a safe space for Ten, because that's better than Ten being alone again....

I was hoping Ten would tell Lulu about they bitch before anything, but oh well

Ten did it backwards. Take care of you girl first. or don't tell Lulu and deal with the problem girl first, then come back. Waifu always comes first.
I was reading the original, I do not know why Ten used watashi to Lulu during the dialogue because she usually uses boku as first personal.

Methinks Lulu is gonna become a big dumdum from deep space soon. -

Waifu does indeed always come first, but in this case, waifu has also failed to communicate her insecurity to her wife, so the latter is aware of how bad the situation is. I think if Ten was told that Lulu is considering herself a burden, she wouldn't leave her hanging like that.

Gotta say, i'm pleasantly surprised (not too surprised) with the tone and direction this manga went with. Not having read the One Shot, At first, due to Lulu's massive...well everything really, and the premise of her pulling the ultimate u-haul from the other side of the universe i thought it would try to go more wacky-hijinks comedy with maybe some romantic or dramatic moments here and there, but wouldn't quite be able to get it right. . But instead it's focused much more directly on the emotions of the characters and the comunication between them, some drama, and just a bit of wackyness here and there, which is much better for it. I hope it can continue for a while to develop and show the two slowly getting more intimate.
(Don't get me wrong, wacky hijinks over the top comedy are also fine, but this isn't the vibe for this).
