I hope Yagi being dense isn't everything this story has to offer. I'm really trying hard to remember if she has any redeeming quality to make up for it. It seems a bit far fetched, what with the first chapter and everything.

She has a pretty cool goat mask. That's a character trait, right?

Maybe it's because the first chapter was written as a one shot? I'm not sure, but it did work as a one shot and it was more rushed then the next two chapters

Jfc, Yagi. Get a clue.
And damn that new girl is so annoying, I could feel myself getting a headache reading this new chapter.

There's a limit to naiveness

Density as its finest... I'm almost surprised she realized she got confessed to, considering... Though that girl really had to actually spell it out so it get into her thick skull.

I could have sworn she was already confessed to in the original one-shot by Mado-chan... It seemed to imply that they kissed at the end, on camera... that would suggest that she got it then, right? I wish that the author would have rewritten the first chapter for the serialization if it was going to go into this level of obliviousness to Mado-chan's feelings! (I could have sworn that Yagi felt that way about Mado-chan as well... But now that she is this flustered by another girl giving her this much attention, I'm not so sure.)

(I suppose there could have been a rewrite that didn't get translated? I hope?)

Even then she's still not even sure according to what she says near the end, lol.

To those bewildered by how how dense Yagi is, I will say that people act like this in real life out of fear of rejection and low self-esteem. While one interpretation is that Yagi simply hasn't noticed at all that Mado-chan likes her, another is that she would like to think so, but doesn't want to get her hopes up in case she's wrong, so she internalizes the idea that Mado-chan only likes her as a friend.

Well, it seems I won't be continuing to read this, at least not until it's finished.

While themusicman's explanation makes sense, I'm still a bit bewildered by how dense Yagi is... I mean, she's acting like her and Mado aren't dating when she says in the first chapter that they're "together both online and in real life." They also kissed in the prequel, but, well, it seems like some parts of the prequel aren't canon to the main story, so that might be a bit different. I guess it's possible that she meant "together" as in "TOGETHER AS FRIENDS," but it still seems more than a bit odd to me.

When she said she would let Mado decide I couldn't help but to say "Oh wow Yagi you f**king idiot great f**king job there"

I was far too amused by the conflicting body language going on in the first panel on page nine.

Yagi seems like the kind of person that has difficulty with social situational awareness. The fact that Mado's streaming personality differs so much from her everyday behavior may be compounding that and making it hard for Yagi to characterize their relationship.

Also it's very clear Yagi has never had any close friends in her high school life, let alone a girlfriend. Both of those things have spontaneously dropped into her lap and now she has no idea how to balance them against each other. Not only that, she has no idea what to do with herself. She's never had a support system before, and now that she suddenly has one she's overly eager to use it and ends up leaning on it entirely too hard.

Also also, Alice is bae.

Well... Yagi is definitely a harem protag. because she is OBLIVIOUS.

Also I'm a bit disappointed. I liked this author because I found their works intriguing and different from other typical yuri works. But it seems they fall into the same traps too. Oh well.

pacing on this is terrible.

$10 on kuudere Alice is actually in love with her childhood friend but still supports her.

ooh, risky bet.
I'll with the super safe bet, 10$ that she is in love and will not support this and instead will be in a love triangle.

Koko is the kind of girl that I had crushes on when I was younger and now I despise them forever

Also, now that I reread the oneshot and chapter 1, it does seem like Yagi is already dating Mado-chan. And on the first page of chapter 1 seems like it's Koko's reaction to the kiss from the oneshot. What the hell Yagi????

I cannot stand plots that revolve around dense main characters. This is probably the first time I've ever disliked Ohsawa Yayoi's work

Ah... she was so close yet so far..
Poor Madoka, she's going to have to be really direct to get through that goat's thick skull

Maybe she's going to ask how to let Koko down gently?

Also, I'd like to point out the irony in Yagi having, what seems to be, an advice show.
