majere said, "Heteronormativity ruins everything"

So true! Guess it adds drama now and then.
Like this series. Like the drama. Or else everything is just 1 chapter short stories with no expectations. Think of it as dinner. Instead of someone slapping a protein down and some water, you get nice atmosphere, several good appetizers, something good to drink, your main course, and desert.
I like this story because it's giving me a lot of things to enjoy and process. But it better finish spectacularly.

People are so into Tsukasa and Nadeshiko but that only leaves more space for me on the Tsukasa and Mikage train. <3

Please take my ticket, as I am also on this train

Gotta admit, Asakura is a refreshing change for a guy in a yuri manga, most of the times I've seen, they're just used by the author to be the dickish/abusive ex or something like that, so it's nice to see a guy who is actually kind and dealing with issues of his own if this latest chapter is anything to go by.

I'm mildly impressed but worried by this so far. It's hinted at having a somewhat "real" story and delving into queerness a bit, especially with the brother character. It's subtle but compared to the way most works address a crossdresser, Subaru seems to have a bit more going on than 'lol siscon lol pretty clothes', I could see this going in an awkward 'the-mangaka-doesnt-understand-but-tries' trans-ish direction more than most otokonoko manga at the moment.

Best case scenario, this plays out with poly end for the main 3, trans/het end for the other two. Worst case is, well, what everyone here is already expecting. I can't say I have a lot of hope either, but speculatively I'm giving it a chance atm. Especially since the mangaka has literally no apparent record besides this one to compare to.

That his selfish reason to persuaded Tsukasa to reject Asakura.

I wish the other girls were as selfish as him

Just get Shiratori together with the guy and end the game. He seems like a nice guy too.

Yikes, a lot of people are reading this for yuri not for het end.

I think Subaru's sister complex is just a way to hide his actual preferences. It won't be out of place to think that he's forcing himself to think that he likes his sister just to hide the fact that he's into guys. Heck, it's almost this series theme so far, hiding your true feelings because of the fear of neglection. He's the most interesting character in the series so far, so i hope he's not just your average creepy dude in romantic comedy mangas.

I began to wonder which character was trying their hardest to suppress their innermost feelings?
While I was tempted to say Subaru, I thought that he's actually acting on some of his feelings at least.
I decided it was Kotooka. Because it just seems that she's acting in a way to seem "normal", trying to get Tsukasa to hurry up and date guys, so she can give up her feelings. It comes across to me as the saddest situation of the bunch. She's trying to act in a way to basically lie to herself, and others, about what's truly in her heart. Whereas Nadeshiko just hides behind indifference. And Tsukasa gets caught up in the flow, wanting to hide her heart.
So I feel most sorry for Katooka.

Wow talk about being pushy as hell.

I know they are her friends. But it's almost like shoving that guy her throat -_-

Yuri at this point is non existent. Very few actual character development and it was only of glasses guys. Most of jokes fell flat and were cringeworthy.

It just made me sad now that i think how good chapter 1 was. But author uses the cheap and unoriginal way to continue the story by introducing the guy and then making her friends to make the girl liking the guy to this point of forcing.

This chapter: 3/10

If someone out there is waitig for a good love triangle manga, don't get your hope up. Certainly not with this one.

If you're so dissapointed with the series just drop it, don't judge the work of people :P

kootoka indeed.
in tsukasa's side, I feels she like giving up her love to washio too.

on the contrary, the one who trying hardest to make her love comes true is Washio. seems like she never give up with Kotooka even kotooka dating many guys and worse of it, bragging her boyfriends to washio. It is really become hell if Kotooka know Washio has feeling for her too.

Is she really trying though? I wouldn't call waiting on the sidelines trying. She's the only character who knows what she wants to do with her feelings, but she's hardly doing anything to actually convey them.

Hmmmmm. It stopped before I could make this comment but.....wouldn't it be interesting if Tsukasa ended up liking Kyousuke? And then Washio turned around and ended up liking Tsukasa because she accepted her for everything? and then Kootoha ended up liking Washio? But now it went back to Tsukasa being content for now so things have stabilized again. Also brother is giving me more than siscon vibes. I feel like he has more to him underneath than just siscon. Incest would be too predictable since they're already calling him a siscon but maybe...? For now I love all the development. How each one is watching each other and how things are shifting is different and unexpected directions.

So... Nothing interesting happened... Again. A thing that bothered me about this chapter was, why did Tsukasa said that glasses guy made her feel something only Washio have ever made her feel and then she goes and turns him down? Isn't it better to explore those new feelings since you're pretty certain your old feelings aren't reciprocated?

No, it wouldn't be interesting at all. We would be going in circles and never actually going anywhere in terms of storytelling.

I'm starting to get the impression that this Asakura crap is not just an arc or some shit but rather the entire deal of this manga

I think she was happy being liked rather than actually liking him.

I think Kyousuke's character is being used to force Tsukasa into action and as a result, pushes Kotooka towards some sort of edge, which would only make Washio worry for her even more. He's... basically there just to get some sort of plot rolling along, in my opinion. I don't mind him being there because he's indirectly helping Tsukasa grow and figure out her own feelings.
