Yeah, Chiaki has already been defeated, routed, and Morgenthau'd, she just hasn't noticed it yet.

Whelp that ending... I expected it to be a big loner until the cute bartender chick found out it was a woman she was dating. Next chapter or the next time they meet up at the bar is gonna be both awkward and probably angasty in that amazing kind of way.

Mashiro continues to deny feelings as well it's kinda cute at this point how she has to keep telling herself she's just gonna throw her away eventually anyway but still keeps getting dragged along and into Chiaki's pace of things lol.

Chiaki continues to look amazing and though she finds having a partner a lot of work or frustrating at times she clearly also cares if she's trying to push herself forward. I'm curious if were ever gonna actually get to the point where Mashiro tries to throw her away. I wonder if Chiaki just gonna take it like a grain of salt or break down. Though I don't actually see it even getting to that point.

Also I'll take the cute bartender if Chiaki doesn't want her.

give it up john lennon, you lost

And yet it's Mashiro who is blushing like a tomato.

yeah like, Chiaki's not the one being bagged right now. she's attentive and certainly falling for Mashiro but she hasn't budged from her original standpoint of "let's try dating and we can break up if things get rough"

Hell at this point I'd argue the story is kind of about how Chiaki despite her inexperience dating shows a casual sincerity Mashiro hasn't gotten before causing her to fall in the exact way she was scheming make Chiaki. It's all about the reversal.

That's Ena san right...?
O.o

does Chiaki have neurodivergent rizz? maybe i'm reading too much into the social accounting on pages 16-17 but it seems a little quirked up

Her plan to break up eventually with Chiaki is meltinh because the Ice Queen is too hot,xd

that was so smooth oh my gah

also I didn't even notice this on the first read somehow, but...

replying to a lover this quickly is a first for me (it took 10 hours)

Huh, did I confuse their names when I first typed it? Seems like it. I meant Mashiro, of course...

The love interest is so throughly unlikable I kinda want her to end up sad and alone at the end LOL

me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic

This is an interesting premise. Usually someone like Chiaki is the love interest and we're in Mashiro's POV, and the added twist of Mashiro being a player that just wants to hit it and then quit it like it's a game is fun because I wanna see Mashiro lose at her own game so badly xD

Ideally, Chiaki is the one that wants to break up (maybe finding out Mashiro's plans) but Mashiro is the one begging to not break up.

And then there's the friend. Woof, I'm sorry, buddy, I don't think you're gonna be the end romance.

It's finally back! I dig Kanai she's super cute it's a shame she's been in love with Chiaki that long I didn't realize they had known each other since school.

Looks like her love interest is the other black haired chick? She's gonna have to move on eventually lol.

And Mashiro heard Kanai and her talking that's what she heard right? Please don't be mean or try and drive a wedge between Chiaki and Kanai.

kon-chan... down girl...

DEMON

great flashback and it looks like Chiaki had some latent homophobia within her back when they were still in high school and re-reading the first chapter it really was still there lmao.

While Chiaki was clearly happy to be friends with a lesbian and even nonchalantly go to her lesbian bar. It also gives the impression that she's never actually taken a good look at herself and what she wants. Just in chapter 1 alone she talks about how romance just isn't for her because she never wanted to go all the way with a man, but then she also dismisses romance with a woman outright. To the point that Chiaki tells herself it doesn't count, when she's faced with the possibility that she had sex for the first time with a woman.

And it's not like she doesn't know gay people exist, because her best friend is the lesbian bar owner of the lesbian bar she frequents XD. So it really does just look like Chiaki has been carrying some internalized homophobia in part centered on the idea of wanting/needing children that allowed her to be friends with and have no problem with gay people in the abstract. But stopped her from admitting that she herself might be the same.

Oh no she is even more evil now

The fact that the part-timer was so eager for some NTR makes me think there's already a very juicy spin-off waiting to happen.

Oh no she is even more evil now

Good. More evil = hotter.

2010 weren't that long ago...
Maybe she can fall for a girl, but for a woman, yes
