Nene-chan is actually kinda adorable. Everyone confused and scheming, and she's there like a happy open book. Wishing her the best.

I've read a lot of yuri where one of the girls is struggling with comp het, and I'm at this point honestly not sure this is one, and if it is, it's the one that makes me most uncomfortable.

Woke up this morning
got some gabagool

Emi calling it like it is, Soprano really doesn't seem to care how Mirei actually feels. I wonder if Soprano is going to actually reflect on what Emi said or not

This manga is SO fascinating and uncomfortable. I love how it captures how hard it is to step back and evaluate emotional situations when it all involves you and it’s happening right there. It’s really hard to bring out the whole “here’s how I think this situation should be healthily handled” as a frame of reference, which is exactly what it feels like when you’re in the mix.

It’s hard to tell what Mirei thinks about things—I don’t think she even knows herself. When Soprano is closing in on her there’s this complicated mix of what seems to be erotic fear and actual regular fear. I love how the mangaka doesn’t obviously hint one way or the other and leaves it troubled and ambiguous. And things are complicated enough that it doesn’t feel like melodrama either.

Super interesting story, there’s really nothing else like it.

I thought this was a lot more lighthearted than it was, but after these last two chapters I'm actually liking this a lot more now. I just hope it doesn't go the route of just having soprano not change, take advantage of mirei, and saying fuck you to the reader and not have there be any repercussions or the like. I would like to believe the author knows better than that, but I can't rule it out entirely right now, this could go a lot of different ways.As it stands, I'm super intrigued, and ready for more! I also hope they do more with nene, she's a one note character so far. Although I'm not sure what you COULD do with her...

Man these two can't rekindle their relationship in peace can they? First that annoying friend spouting shit to Soprano, Now another random ass person shows up.

Just let our two girls figure out feelings and be together

How do you scanlate with only paws though

^ with great difficulty.

I bet Akari is gonna be a fan girl for those two lol

Small typo on chapter 16 page 7 panel 1:
I've realized that really do -> I've realized that I really do

Uh, oh...

Time to pull out the boxcutter

spamton reference? all jokes aside, shit will most likely get messy.

I feel for Nana but at the same time she needs professional help. She should not be latching onto someone like that and getting that depressed over them.

Also I really don't like this other friend of Mieri's she's also in love with her right? I don't remember half of these characters so I don't remember if Emi is in love with her or not.

It's also not a good idea to meet Nana either, with something so messed up in her head if this was a tragic or dark story I could see her trying to stab Mieri since she feels that she's now to blame why the person she's obsessed with is no longer modeling.

We've been getting quite a few chapters of this lately so glad it's finally getting updated again thanks for the translate and upload as always.

I really really like this manga. There's something about it that feels really unique. It feels like it's not playing into tropes clearly to tell you what direction it's going, it's too invested in what it's actually doing to try to signal that to you. It feels very earnest, and I think that contributes to the believability of it. Like what Soprano is doing is kind of dramatic and out there, but with how messy it is, it keeps breaking in different directions.

I think mirei's feelings are also really well-done. Like you can never fully tell if what she's feeling is actually fear, and the way she's stuck on and ruminates over her feelings without them being like. Positive, or particularly nice, but there's something that makes her trace that groove over and over... It feels very real. My own experience of realizing I was queer wasn't like. Oh I feel these undeniable feelings, and what does that mean, or just Knowing how it is. It was an experience of just getting stuck on stuff, and kind of tormented by it, and feeling a lot of complicated emotions. I think there's a way "straight girl realizing she's gay" typically goes in yuri manga, and something about the narrative in those stories has like a constant awareness that this is the kind of story it's telling. But this manga isn't doing that. It's taking Mirei in the moment she's in, and that's weird and messy and scary and complicated. It almost feels wrong at this point to say it's her realizing she has feelings for a girl, because even that is allowed to not feel like a foregone conclusion.

Usually I really dislike when yuri manga has another character cut into the action. But here, the pacing and sense of time makes it feel true to life. It's a story that's gradually unfolding over a stretch of time, and things happen in that time, and that's part of the whole process.

Something about the sketchy quality of the faces sometimes, and the way they sort of shift, but the killer shots really capture the feeling they shoot for, makes the art of it feel really good to read. I feel like it fits with the earnest messiness even as it's really effective at getting strong feelings across, without necessarily making them super easy to parse. It's a weird little manga and I love it.

I have to agree with Linterdiction, this manga does complex feelings really well. Not three chapters of worrying over things that are obvious for the readers. They are definitely stepping three steps forward, two steps back, but the steps aren't obvious. The feeling of being conflicted, toeing between friendship, adoration and love, aren't fully clear.

It means the direction line isn't necessarily clear, and to be fair, I might enjoy clear lines more ! But this feels quite unique.

Although, if I had to say it in one sentence : all those girls' feelings are a mess and I wish them a happy ending.

how the hell did I miss the new chapter..?

damn, everyone is getting expounded on. It's kinda sad to watch someone who's overly attached get their mental image shattered. A never-meet-your-heroes. Still, I do hope that Nana does come to some sort of conclusion in which she understands that finding self-worth in others is good, but that she has her own potential and drive to succeed.

Yep I knew it Emi is also in love with Mirei. She has zero chance anyway. Typical Yuri protag Mireri is weird AF but everyone just falling for her.

Emi is a great friend though ngl I feel very bad for her. She's in love with Mirei knows she doesn't have a chance but she's still there supporting her while she works through her feelings etc.

Also Nana get some professional help you psycho.

What do you meean, Editor? Also: Since when was Emi "Neesan"?

Yep I knew it Emi is also in love with Mirei. She has zero chance anyway. Typical Yuri protag Mireri is weird AF but everyone just falling for her.

They should all just whip out Super Soakers at this point with all the water they were tossing around. And Emi is sooo fucked. It's a bit obvious when you look at it in a new light --- she was always a bit possessive.

Poor Emi she was fully friendzoned here. Maybe her and Nene can end up together? Or they introduce someone for her, that would be nice because now that Merei is "taking responsibility" she's gonna try actually going out with Soprano now.

The only thing I worry about is it almost feels like she's forcing herself to because she feels bad for what Soprano gave up just to come find and be with her. I want her to love/care for her because she wants to not because she feels obligated to do so.

Either way looks like were getting some main couple progress so I'm quite excited for their festival date.

WOAH SLOW DOWN THERE, HANDHOLDING? GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST BUCKO.

oh no she was an S.

One couple meets another couple they had a fight with on their date...
