that is so stupid, well better hope you never find someone who is jealous of you and your partner or you are out of that relationship right there!
I got the impression that it isn't like that. All couples fight now and then, right? I think Bond severing represents that. But eventually the couple makes up and forms stronger bond than before.
Not only that, but imagine if you're in a "stuck" relationship. A and B are unhappy in the current relationship, yet neither one of them is willing to break up because they're afraid of starting over again. In that case it's not necessarily bad if C (who likes B, and B and C are happy together) wants the couple to break up right?
This is so much more enjoyable if you stop looking at it like it's a "yuri love story" and treat it as "a story about friendship and bonds, that also happens to have a yuri couple".
Totally. I'm looking forward to what the story has to say about friends and lovers, especially since the thread that Kotori reconnected between Satoka and Shiori in Chapter 1 was a green thread of friendship. In Kotori's dream we saw that she was couldn't connect to two red threads (with Chika and Satori) at the same time. It hasn't been clearly established what is meant by love in this story. If Hiwa saw fit to act on Chika's subliminal wishes and sever the bond of friendship between Shio and Satoka, is it because Chika has romantic feelings for Shio, or does it mean that a relationship between friends, can't coexist with relationships of love?
Another interesting point, is that in the first Chapter, Kotori basically said that she can't make a bond, if the bondees (?) the people in the bond, don't take the initiative. Kotori's just the helper. Does that mean Hiwa operates the same way; she can't sever something unless there is a desire to sever it? Although the current bond severing situation is a little different. Whereas Kotori was acting on behalf of the people in the relationship, Hiwa is on the behalf of a third party.
Hmmm........
