Wow, this was unexpectedly good. There should be more of this non-moe and adult-life stuff. It kind of reminds me of http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/instinct_and_a_chromosome

Although I really can't understand all that marrying-to-not-have-a-feeling-of-missing-out/to meet expectations jazz. I literally am unable to take that perspective. Is something wrong with my mirror neurons?

Personnally, even for a straight couple, I don't understand the idea of marriage necessity to be happy. To me that's just some religious stuff, I don't really need that.
Well why not the administrative mariage but that's not that big of a deal...

For my own happy ending I'm just going to say that the girl that left came back a little bit later Also I think eventually Dynasty should get a Polygamy tag. While it wouldn't really work for this manga it could work for Two and Two.

Ugh, I enjoy this mangaka's work very much but there is usually something that really just doesn't sit right with me. Not the sad endings or anything, but just the reasons some characters do things just baffles me and I can't wrap my head around it, makes me uncomfortable.

Magobee's love for her writing career overpowers her love for Rei.. Garnering experience as much as possible by literally experiencing something cuz you only have one life (to live).

I think it was more the aspect of raising a family that magobee wanted to experience. Which is a valid reason. I wish they had a discussion about other ways for that to happen than through het marriage though. Still, this was a wonderfully mature manga.

seriously? what a waste of time! magobee is such an asshole! i'd rather imagine she never found happiness that bitche!

Personally speaking, I find this manga fascinating.
It touches on topic that LGBT had, and opposing views from both a couple, their express and desire towards something different, which may or may not lead to a resolution.

I'm going to re-read the old yuri mangas that are available here again.
I think they are a gem nowadays.
Their stories sounded realistic.

If I were to read this few years ago, I may resent the decision Magobee made.
But now I can empathize her reasoning and understand the decision she had on mind.

Not many people had the same thought as Rei does.
I mean, there are other wlw couples who had the same thought and decided "This is it" and choose to settle down with the others.
But there are others who believe their life is only once, therefore they would like an entire different experience , being a mother, a wife..

Time is irreversible, age too.
There are certain things that you can only do in a certain phase.

I would respect the decision both Rei and Magobee had.

That was in those days.

Nowadays, if Magobee wanted to have children, she certainly would have different options to make.
To get married with Rei, have babies and settle down.
However, she might also end up choosing to break up with Rei because she decided to get herself married with a man, be a wife and settle down and have kids..

Whatever path that lies to her, she has the option to choose.
I think that is what the most important, is the option to choose what she wants to be in her life.

It's this disparate world of thought that they break up (irreconcilable differences).
If we remove the element of gender, it's just a couple who have different resolution about their love, with one wanting to move on to another phase and experience a different world, and another wanted to stay as it is.

And this manga is 2009 when it published.
The MC has such a big heart to accept people around her, being friends with LGBT people , whether it be lesbian or gay.
This is so precious nowadays, as we now know of the internet is full of ahem ahem ahem ahem.
