We live in a civilized society. Normal people don't go around kicking and punching other people, even if they're assholes. In fact, responding to assholes by kicking/punching them is a great way to get yourself in jail, most places.

Neither Yuu nor Emi even told the guy "fuck off" or "go away" or communicated in any way that they wanted him to leave. Emi just ran in and knocked him to the ground. If you use violence as your first resort rather than as your last, then you are not a balanced person, not fit to live in a civilized society. That rapid escalation to violence, in addition to her own obsessive behavior, clearly indicates that she's unhinged.

Edit: I should clarify. I don't think she's completely off the deep end, I just mean that there's something not quite right about her. Apparently she only has one friend in the world, and the closest thing to a friend she has besides Yuu are the men she seduces to keep them away from her. That's just not a healthy way to go through life, and it seems to have taken its toll on her.

Any threat against yuri must be terminated without delay and with extreme prejudice.

C'mon. Do something.

Series about angst
Expecting communication in the first few chapter
????

Don't like some boy ...You're terrible at it
Does that imply every guy Yuu ends up with is either after her to do her or two timing?

This is such a good manga. Such a multi-layered realistic story.

So blonde meganekko is aware of the other girl's feelings. And of the other girl's doings as well. And she is even aware that only a girl with a dark, sinister, obsessive side would act like that! And she doesn't find it attractive at all!

But at the same time she feels kind of good about that. She doesn't like it (cuz it's dark, slimy, etc.) but she also likes it (cuz it makes her feel superior to the other girl). It's rare that a mangaka goes the extra inch to make her characters' reactions so complicated and true to life.

Most of the stories I read lately seem to aim for the "simple" and "happy" feel. Girl A likes girl B, and, surprise, girl B always liked her too! Girl A is rejected by girl B but keeps chasing after her until girl B realizes how cute and adorbz she is and accepts her feelings! Girl A agrees to have sex with girl B just to humor her, and finds that it's ten times better than het sex, so they become a couple -- happy end! Next to these, I Hate Things Like Love is really refreshing. It's not every day that we get to read a story where the characters are so complex, just like real people! Two thumbs up to the author! d^_^b

That was underwhelming for an ending.

The girl is just possessive and afraid to be abandoned and doesn't even love glasses girl.

Their relationship will never go anywhere.

Whoa, I didn't think this manga would end in such a ridiculous and disappointing way. It's not even yuri.

Wait, what? Did this just end? I don't think that was even a full volume, did it get axed?

After this I've come to a conclusion. Some artists better just stick to doujin or oneshot.

looks like it,since last month there was no chapter,which is weird for a new manga,and then this month the end.
that's probably why the ending doesn't make any sense

The author said it will be 'very short' before it started.

I'm so lost... So then, Eimi likes her but hasn't realize her feelings well? Or is it just really her selfish feelings/obsession for her friend and not wanting to be alone?
And it makes me wonder if Yuu migh have some feelings for her since she seemed fine to kiss her... or she is just an amazing friend to still care about her after all Eimi has done to her.

Maybe I'm thinking too much but I was liking this manga, oh well I'll just think they end up happy in the end T-T

Emi is possessive and too immature to make sense of the emotions involved, and her friend is mature enough to see right through her and, if she so chooses, to move on in life.
