Maybe it's just that the opening scene sets up a feeling that "sex is a problem for this girl."

No duh, but that's because it's wound up with Hoshihara's badly strained relationship with her mother. Near as I can tell having had to listen her mom fuck her boyfriends (all of whom and which she detests) in the next room has led her to similarly loathe her own sex drive by association - no wonder she's all wound up and cranky.

Which is a pretty far cry from a "rapey backstory vibe".

But here it’s not a reveal, it’s given as initial exposition. The companion trope to the above is that the young person is not simply disgusted with the mom on moral or aesthetic grounds, but that one or more of the transient “boyfriends/uncles, etc.” has at least tried something with the young person.

That doesn’t mean it’s an inevitable development, but it’s certainly a possible move on the board.

So far there's no obvious reason to assume such though; and Chika's home environment is quite amply screwed up enough to deeply and negatively affect someone up to and including for life as is without recourse to such lurid dramatic devices.

Laying the basic situation bare to the audience right in the opening strikes me as a very deliberate narrative choice - instead of being left in as much of the dark as a single specific viewpoint character and given the reveal "in real time" as they (more or less gradually) learn about it in-universe, we're instead told it right out of that gate from the PoV of the character in question. Or to put it differently and more concisely, the goal is not the audience uncovering a "mystery" alongside the cast but rather watching the cast discover things - in this case about each other - in-universe that the audience is already privy to.

Contrariwise if you took out the frequent flips to Chika's PoV we'd have a fairly classic (if not outright cliché) setup of Usa trying to figure out why her totally-not-crush-honest is such a tightly-wound unsociable curmudgeon.

I wasn't trying to imply that when I said "it could've been darker" I was imagining self harm, because that's also something people with serious issues would do... I just didn't want to mention it.

Of course it could. Even the infamously grim Warhammer 40,000 setting sometimes gets in its head to try and get even moar GRIMDARK than it already is - only that just tends to come across as unintentionally comical tryharding and typically gets sarcastically termed "grimderp" by the fans...

But "well the author could do X" is basically just woolly platitudes on the level of "well they could also be wearing red flannel socks while drawing" - particularly meaningless idle speculation and certainly no basis for credible assumptions.

Also relevant.

I feel so identified with that girl (or guy?)

Girl. It's a character from Sasameki Koto.

Give the girl from Sasameki Koto a break! It's not like she was clueless and helped stall the romance between Murasame and Kazawa, or that she wasn't brave enough to get a girl of her own even in a school full of lesbians, right?

@Cozycreature12
You sounds so self centered. So, author is a hentai pig and therefore making his entire career invalid? What does that make of us that likes it here then? Hentai piglet? Oh hey, here's a not so crazy idea. How about you read the shit that appealed to to you instead? Yes? No? Let those that enjoyed stuff like this enjoyed em, yeah?

I don't care, I want pure stories, and there is so few that I can count with my fingers
When I read a story, I investigate if the author did bad stories before, for example, Ooshima Tomo...her draws and story board are so good, but she did an het hentai before...that damage all my image from her...same with Towa...with this "Uran" I investigate him, and he did A LOT of het hentai, some very horrible...and that damage me all my image from him, since the first page of this manga...I feel dirty reading this...but I didn't left it just because I want to see what he's gonna do, but that doesn't mean that I like this...

so an author can only make one type of story or there dead to you, and that story must be "pure" yuri? you sound fun to be around...

So now we got a real pervert and with awful timing too.

I wonder why she hasn't asked Usa out already if she likes her that much? Surely she can't be thinking Usa is straight? She's as queer as a rainbow trout and you have to be blind not to notice that.

I thought I knew what we were in for as soon as she went back to get her gym clothes, but then things escalated.

You know, there exist boys who have secret crushes on girls, and vice versa? Just because the object of your affection has the potential to like people of your sex doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a positive result if you ask them out. She could have all kinds of reasonable anxieties holding her back. She could even be the kind of pervert who prefers sniffing her clothes in secret to actually dating her.
