Wait, who says the last line about hurting the other? Those thoughts doesn't seem to match Akira's previous statements or her look of dissapointment after Pure uses the dreaded F word. Is Pure the one saying that?

Akira does. Akira has always been lonely up until the series start, but Pure’s appearance has been changing her, like how she starts getting along with her classmates instead of being alone. She thinks she’s hurting Pure by letting things stay ambiguous, i.e. not reciprocating her feelings.

I think there is way too much foreshadowing for it to be BS. The whole super genius brother thing for one screams sci-fi shenanigans. Also, given the way she burst into tears and completely freaked for little reason when Akira declared she considers her a friend suggests this girl isn't telling the whole truth about what befell Pure and her "amore" in the future. I mean who breaks the laws of the universe just to go back and meet their girlfriend a little sooner?

Something horrible has compelled her to return to the past to change things and from what we have seen that is exactly what she is doing. She is changing the future. That was the whole point of that scene with the conflicting memories after the amusement park. We see her confused by the disparity between her memories of what once was and what is now being rewritten. Most concerning is the fact Pure doesn't seem to remember her "amore" ever telling her she loved her in the original timeline. She altered something in her own past by going back and more specifically by going on that date and it seems to be messing up her mind and making her ill.

This story has tragedy written all over it. Dead mother. Horrible betrayal by her father. Two mentally ill siblings both suffering from serious emotional and psychological damage from the family melting down. Some crazy yandere chick claiming she is from the future shows up and starts crying out of nowhere etc. This one isn't going to be all sweetness and fuzzy good times.

Thank you for the update/new chapter. I forgot how much I enjoyed this one

As others have mentioned, this definitely has a dark undertone that’ll become more evident later on. Pure is such a cutie, I hope Akira doesn’t keep up this “vague” bs for long

Got it. Really appreciating the posts you're making in here. Pretty insightful stuff about this series.

if the time travel was true.
I wouldn't be surprised if pure actually has been through many timelines, repeating her meeting with her amore akarin~ over n over again.

Is this still ongoing? Or has official publication stopped? Will the scanlators ever pick this up again?

According to MAL, this manga is finished, with 3 volumes and 25 chapters, so probably it was just dropped by scanlators. Kinda sad, I really liked this.

Good news is Yen Press picked this up for an English release. It's gonna be a while before we get to the end but I'm excited to finally get to see the rest.

too bad i cant freaking see how it ends , what i can assume is that pure is her half sister and the reason why she wants to be friends is to prevent that pseudo incest relationship to happen while at the same time truly being in love with her and wanting to spend her time with her even if its just being friends.
i hope the rest is in here at some point.

Good so far, interesting plot twist. The idea of time traveling is good but, how did she do it?? Maybe we learn it in the next chapters?
For now I'll just say that it's fun to read and I can feel the impact of their words and actions

Also I kinda relate to the last thing Akira thinks in the end of chapter 8...

Spoilers for Chapters 1 through 12ish with a hint of 15.

My guess based on context clues and Ruri and Pure's conversation is that:

In the original timeline, Pure and Akira met at a later time (college most likely). After dating for a time, they fell in love and got engaged to be married overseas. However, tragedy strikes (sounds like cancer but could be something else).

As she dies, Akira says that she wishes she could have known Pure in high school, so that they could have had more time together. Pure takes this idea and runs with it, somehow acquiring access to Ruri/Sumire's time machine, and leaping back half a dozen years into Akira's past. She then attempts to find her and rekindle their relationship. This is where Chapter 1 starts.

Worth noting that in this timeline, Ruri seems to act more decisively, perhaps spurred by his conversation with Pure. His actions and goals seem borderline insane, going so far to ask Akira "Don't you wish we had never been born?" He seems determined to ruin his parents' relationship before they fall in love, thus saving his mother from the heartbreak that leads to her death.

Some of this is guesswork. It is worth noting that Pure's memories get lost the further she alters things, so the most accurate things she says about the original timeline are right at the beginning when they meet. After that, she slowly starts thinking she was delusional and loses certainty in everything she's said (though she can remember saying it).
