fffffffffffffffff -
This is a manga that I really enjoy, despite the inevitable heartache I know I'll have (I havent read the spoiler bar text that people have been commenting with, but i have an idea of how it will pan out), mostly cause I can really relate to poor Akari and figuring out her first love and (wishing) that her first love feels the same
Right from the start we know Yuki already has a thing for Rin - the only thing that makes this different from the usual yuri love triangle is that Yuki doesn't ditch him to realise her "true feelings" for Akari, because well, Yuki is straight. This manga isn't a love story but Akari's coming of age story where she realises she likes girls, except shit she fell for a straight one who has only ever seen her as a friend
Yuki has clearly been oblivious to everything because its not like she has any of her own friends so its not like she can see how eager Akari is. I think she only put two and two together after the picturebooth edit and how desperately Akari took photos of her.
I actually think this is a more realistic spin on things, the subtle jabs from "friends" at school is on the money, the jealousy is done well, plus the confusion over whether that straight girl you fell for might actually like you too (bath scene omg poor akari)
I think this series doesn't deserve as much backlash as its getting, a yuri end with these two would be nice but it would be unrealistic after everything we've seen from Yuki so far.
Also Rin's a decent guy, yes, thank god he's written well.
Even though I love this manga, it still hurts me. That letting go of the hand moment fuck
