Jesus christ end this pointless manga already.

Even if they won't, I hope you find the courage to move on with your life.

Or at least from this comment section.

Can I order a salt chips for post and a regular popcorn for comments?

It's high time I stop being the only one... I can't remember the word I wanted to use, so I'll just say "confronting"... Loralei.

That turned out to be exactly what I thought was going on with the other friends. Kinda wanna see them work it out but not sure I expect they will.

Not sure if I will feel bad for Miki or not, I kinda feel bad cuz hey, she just really love nanaki and idolize her then suddenly their friendship got broken in an instant, I kinda not feel bad cuz Izumi is right, their attitude is kinda on the bad side.
But we can't deny that Maho is indeed the best gril here.

Everyone in this story is Stupid in Love™ and it's starting to get a little silly. We also forgot about heterosexuality remarkably quickly, now that I think about it.

I don’t feel bad for Miki at all. She decided to keep being a mean girl despite her idol having a change of heart. This was literally her choice, so she has no right to complain. Also, the other girl shouldn’t just go along with everything Miki does. She should actually talk to her and convince her to change. It’s so funny and realistic how the popular group acts as a soundboard to each other. They’ve personally got reservations about the evil things they do, but they go along with it because the person they idolize in the group is doing it. Maho idolizes Miki who idolizes Fujishiro...Izumi also has quite a “fondness” for Fujishiro, but she’s the only groupie who has independent thought. I was unsurprised when she left the other two. I love this manga and how the author portrays relationships. I can see that it’s getting mixed reviews from the people here, but in my personal opinion, I’m siding with those who think it’s genius. There are lots of nuances here that some people are glossing over. Also, I really enjoy how the art can get dark and portray intense emotions. I don’t mind waiting a month usually because it’s easy to tell a ton of work went into the pages.

This really does -- still -- feel like a cross between Ajichi's usual drama-school lesbians and Morinaga Milk. It has heavy, heavy aspects of Girl Friends, Secret Recipe and Secret of the Princess.

I can see the influences there for sure. Girl Friends was the first Yuri manga I read in full, and only my second after Citrus, which was not yet complete at the time. That said, the two main characters’ personalities are both more extreme in their presentation. Kurokawa’s deep seated inferiority complex, which Mari did have, but not to the extent Kurokawa does; Fujishiro’s superiority complex and meanness, which were traits Akko never possessed (she was popular, but kind!). These two have a lot more changing and accommodating to do than Mari and Akko. This is the first work from Ajichi that I have read, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.

I can't hate Miki despite how she acted, because it really is as Maho says. Miki's just too dumb and immature to be in control of her own feelings, let alone the situation. She'll wise up some day, hopefully, but until then at least she has a friend to lean on. Anyway I thought this mini-chapter was sweet in its own weird way.

I see the cute-girl-makeover from Girl Friends, and the “Princess” theme from the obvious (although it was treated entirely differently in SotP), but I don’t quite recall what the connection with Secret Recipe would be.

This manga is like overchewed gum. Everyone is together because they are. They do things only to impress other person. They don't care about their own feelings. It also seems they are blind, since they have true loves in front of them, but still decide to be with someone who isn't even sure what they are. With every new chapter I feel like even Kanade loses IQ points. Stop. Kanade was never meant to be with Nanaki. It's all just mistake due to situation that I don't even remember now, although there was reminder in like, two chapters ago.

Kanade and Nanaki aren't cute together.

I hope you are happy that I waste my time for writing this obvious arguments.

This is a ridiculous statement—who or what is doing the “meaning” here?

If the author intends for them to be together, they will be together.

Kanade was never meant to be with Nanaki.

I mean, Kanade and Nanaki are the Main Character here, not to mention, this is yuri, and the story pretty much revolves around their relationship, unless the author decided to throw some character to be pair with either of these 2, which is pretty unlikely for Ajiichi based on the author's other work. But still, who knows what will happen.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pull a "Knowing Better" on this one (coincidentally, what I'm about to say is from his "Hitting Rock Bottom" video, so it's kinda fitting).

Technically, no one is ever truly meant for someone else. The fairytale idea that there's someone out there who's your soulmate and once you find them you'll be with them forever, is little more than wishful thinking. "Knowing Better" blames Disney for putting that idea into our heads. Instead, you find (and fall in love with) a person that fits most your criteria and make it work. In "Knowing Better"'s own words, Relationships are work. The way I see it, what's going on between Kanade and Nanaki is an example of both of them working to solve their own and each other's issues, albeit slowly, given how deep those issues are, as well as the fact that they're teenagers, and the relationship they're building requires a lot of work from both of them, and, as we've seen in recent chapters, some help from their friends.

Also, just in case you think that by referencing the "Hitting Rock Bottom" video by "Knowing Better" that I'm trying to argue either or both MCs have gone through experiences traumatic enough to count as hitting rock bottom: I'm not arguing that. Such a traumatic experience needs to happen in adulthood. It's not gatekeeping, it's just psychology and neuroscience.

I would be much happier if you used logical arguments instead tbh. Or at least good ones.

You just described highschool life for pretty much everyone (or at least for most people anyway).

I guess someone here is mad this manga is too realistic, look, if you have some kind of trauma just close the tab and stop reading this, you already had 13 and a half chapters to stop reading, I would say this is starting to get ridiculous or that you are acting like a clown, but you are way past that point, seriously.

Excuse me since when being hella jealous over mistake is "realistic"?
