Man that last Chapter hit me hard. Cleaning your room can be a really big thing for people with depression (I think that she has depression, based on her actions and thoughts). It's one of those things that look really strange from the outside. Most people probably think something along the lines of "just get it over with!", but it can be so hard to get up and do even the most basic things. The author probably has experience with depression him-/herselfe or knows someone who does. He/she does a really great job of portraying some common parts of the illness.

I just wanted to comment 'holy shit why are there 220+ comments in 3 chapters'.

Now to go back and read.

Cause it's really good. It's so fucking good. If it continues being this good and continues to expand I think it's gonna be one of the greatest yuri mangas.

Well, it is forming to be both one of my running favourites and my all-time favourites, so...

Usui Shio posted the first chapter on twitter and it had a pretty huge response.

Volume 1 came out today, I believe it contains the first 6 chapters (chapter 6 released today - the raws will presumably be available in the next day or two). The translator read it and said that she confirmed here that the story will continue.

I feel this. It's already one of those stories for which I'll have to check in with myself before I read. (And I really appreciate that you said "some parts of the illness". We can't really diagnose, especially not with so little exposure.)

Temporary or not, the MC seems to me to be depressed in many of the moments the author chose to capture in chapter three, alone and with others present. To me she's suffering anxiety around her to identity and purpose that has rendered her vulnerable to depressive episodes.

It would be cool (albeit more painful) if "falling (mutually) in love" didn't serve as a magic bullet to resolve whatever is leading her to feeling low and troubled, but I do want to see a happy ending for her. (It would lift my spirits, ha-ha.)

It looks to me less like falling in love is a magic bullet so much as having someone accept and encourage her will be therapeutic.

Part of her problem seems to be a lack of people accepting her for who she is.

This is incredible news, I'm so glad it will continue, I hope it is a hit now that the volume is out.

I was just saying I hope it doesn't follow that pattern, as it's a common one I've seen in many stories (not just manga). I have no clue if it's gonna go that way or not at this point.

The only yuri where Jordan Peterson is both the theme and a character.

When that dude was mentioned on MangaDex, it resulted in a 30 post long argument and a forum moderator had to step in.

I don't understand how Jordan Peterson fits into this work... But it doesn't sound out of place either... I wouldn't mind an elaboration... Just not as long an elaboration as what igenetycs mentioned...

Any mental energy expended on that fatuous bullshit is better spent doing something more productive, like pondering what dogs would be like if they were turtles, or calculating how much navel lint it would take to fill up the oceans.

I don't even know who that guy is and i don't really want to know from what i see.

Canadian transphobe and alt-right pundit. Made most of his following by drastically and severely misinterpreting a bill and then saying that people were gonna get thrown in jail for misgendering trans people accidentally. Literally all the bill did was add gender identity as a protected class to the Candian constitution, it changed like 4 words. Thinks we should have a patriarchal society because lobsters do???? Thinks women wearing makeup in the workplace means that men and women can't work together, because it's a "sexual display" and means women just constantly want to fuck in the workplace. Just all-around terrible person.

Also, he boils patriarchal ideology down into innocuous-sounding self-help platitudes, like “Stand up straight” and “Clean your room,” the latter being the ostensible connection to this series, I take it.

Oh. I'd've preferred a Marie Kondo joke or something then, JP is just such a bad person.

He claims to be a classical liberal (much more similar to libertarians and conservatives than to the "social" liberals of today), but he, just like a certain BS became a prominent alt-right figurehead. Tho, again, I'd like to re-iterate that he's just a figurehead, as the alt-right movement is, in reality, I highly decentralized movement with no real/actual leadership. The alt-right is basically just an ad hoc decentralized internet propagandistic militia of fascists, all things considered.

The only yuri where Jordan Peterson is both the theme and a character.

It'll be a blast if an alpha lobster shows up in one of the chapters. And its name will be Chad.

That's enough of that guy... the thread was going so well...

I can't wait for the translations. I still don't understand japanese, so I haven't really enyojed chapters 4-5-6. Anyone know if this manga comes out monthly?

It comes bimonthly, but it's anyone's guess as to when will chapters 4 through 6 be translated and put here. But once they're here, you can only look forward to one chapter every two months.

Catch me just rereading this again and crying tonight. God this is so good already.

I’m kind of a sucker for stories where the reader can see what the characters see in each other but the characters don’t see those attractive qualities in themselves.

You know things are probably going to end up in a good place, but there are all kinds of interesting ways to get there.
