Why indeed, maybe because Konatsu and Honami are the worst useless lesbians,excuse me Friends, i ever seen. Both can't just talk to each other and try to resolve the problem and it's Kaede who must to all the job because the two others can't. I think the last pages of the chapter show that Kaede had enough of this shit and decide to just make both of them talk to each other even she had to threatened them.

LOL methinks Kaede is the wingman useless lesbians need.

Reckon Kaede is just about [screaming internally] and having to bite her tongue in order to not call these useless friends bloody idiots to their faces and would probably dearly like to lock them in a room until they stop being silly gits and talk things out properly...

Being a nice person and the Best Girl, though, she settles for not-very-subtly prodding Konatsu towards hopefully useful directions instead.
Or literally dragging, as the case might be. o3o

lmao, there was this big angsty inner monologue going on, and then suddenly Not Lizard

Bottle, closet, same difference. Gods, this is so gay.

I need a Kaede in my life. I would love to have a friend like this.

I'm lazy to say it twice but still wanna join the conversation from both sites so: https://mangadex.org/thread/4818/4/#post_1056821

I was thinking the monologues were on point but then the salamander page came and hit like a fucking brick. This manga really knows how to portray bouts of crippling depression like a fucking champ

I guess the Salamander symbolizes loneliness.

From Hachimitsu Scans: "According to her Twitter account, this chapter was originally a single, 91-page chapter, but this was split in two for size concerns, with the next chapter coming next month."

That would've been something. And I guess a big development will happen at the karaoke since it was meant to be the same chapter.

I also want to add that it's great having Konatsu back full time as the POV character, I really missed her.

@Star Light: Regarding the discussion on mangadex, I don't think the story is set to end soon, it's been set up to last at least until Koyuki graduates for a long time now. As for Konatsu's issues, I understand some people being annoyed at having a full chapter of her monologuing and failing to move forward, but I think that's the whole point. I loved the twist of Konatsu ultimately turning out to be the salamander equivalent after she seemed like she would be the frog and her sorting out her feelings will be the key for her and Koyuki's relationship not to end up like the one from the short story, which is basically where it's at right now.

Also the whole story deserves an Introspective .

From Hachimitsu Scans: "According to her Twitter account, this chapter was originally a single, 91-page chapter, but this was split in two for size concerns, with the next chapter coming next month."

Holy,91 pages chapter ? Author need to calm down.

^ It's because she had stomach problems and couldn't release a chapter in July.

I guess the Salamander symbolizes loneliness.

The salamander represents the lie, to keep up appearances. Lying to yourself.
It represents the heavy feeling you get, wanting to keep someone for yourself, knowing you stifle their social growth.

You feel like an asshole basically. But you're human and you can't shake off those feelings.
"If I'd talk to her, she'd understand. But why won't I talk about it?"

Teens gonna teens.
Emotions like love are out of the equation here unless the author injects them.

@BeanBeanKingdom
Fair point, however, the monologue is still blamed. It's way too long, it feel like the author tries to buy sometime for something else. Even though I know that it is not what they want, maybe they just simply feel so high and decide to make a long chapter, but keep a long boring inner thought won't make the story great. So it's still blamed! Low quality work.

I.e., you don’t care for it.

Duly noted.

@Star Light: Yeah, I get it, the monologue can feel like it drags, but I'm fine with it because there's always a point to it, in this case it's about Konatsu being in denial and thinking she has to bottle her feelings up while slowly realizing (and being made to realize by Kaede) that doing so makes her suffer. I think it's more of an issue of the chapter taking two months to release and only setting up a development in the next one (though it was originally meant to be a longer chapter). I'm sure that reading this part in the volume release all at once will feel just right and not too slow.

I said it before and I'll say it again, how are they not gay?

Because Author said "no homo"

Be prepared to be horribly disappointed by a pure friendship ending.

Personally, I think that the long introspective monologues are exactly what make this story so good, but tastes differ.

No because this series got trademark as tourism symbol so no homo.
