I think comparing teenage girls and boys is not the right comparison to make because we are not the same lol. I’m a teenage girl and reading this felt so strange because it just didn’t seem like two real people interacting with each other. It seemed to be drawn deliberately to make things over the top. Now this is just my opinion of course but just my two cents.

There's a rather wide variety in how emotional teenage girls can get. My sister, for example, was so emotional when she was in the 12-15 year old range that you could make her burst into tears just by looking at her shortly after she got up. This chapter might be a bit overly emotional but it's far from unrealistic.

How is anyone taking her bff confession at face value?? Lmao it was so obviously another fit of useless closet denial, and Izumi looked about ready to call her out on it too. In the first place, Kurokawa hasn’t had any time to develop feelings for Fujishiro anyway (it hasn’t seemed like that to me anyway) so it’d be best for her to take a moment longer to sort things out and allow Kurokawa to find a deeper interest in her.

I would say about of 99% teens do not cry if you just look at them I say this by personal experience and going to school with them everyday. When I say unrealistic I just think the characters are speaking like they’re not even real people.

People saying this is "overdramatic" and not "authentic teenage experience", when I personally saw a lot of this scream crying arguing in my high school. Just because you personally didn't experience it doesn't mean there aren't any teenagers that act like this, and unfortunately for me I met A LOT in my time as a teen. (Also you guys do realize you are reading fiction right? Of course it's gonna be over the top...have some fun.)

Some things can be over the top in a good and interesting way! This however wasn’t in my opinion. What’s supposed to be a serious and emotional moment gets overthrown because the author thinks screaming the entire time carries emotional weight. I don’t disagree that teens get emotional it’s just with this narrative it seemed off putting and the screaming was just to overdramatize the scene.

Obviously that example was on the more extreme end of the spectrum but it was just an example anyways. The point was that people complaining about them being overly emotional are really off-base. Teens of any gender are highly emotional in general and girls are typically more emotional than boys, at least in the west due to the cultural norm of guys having to be stoic.

I just want to be your very best friend, Kurokawa.
Because I like you.
I like you.
I like you.
I like you.
And like can lead to like-like.
And like-like can lead to love.

And very soon our chick Fujishiro will be singing: "Kurokawa, sure as the stars above, I’d really like to kiss you / fuck you." xP

Okay. People. She got her signals crossed about romance vs. friendship BECAUSE Izumi tried to pass off her romantic feelings for friendship. Remember the whole "even friends can hold hands like this" thing? Izumi deliberately, out of jealousy, reframed Nanaki's deal with Kurokawa as just friendship. This is the thing.

People cannot possibly believe that this yuri manga by a yuri manga creator is not gonna have yuri in it, could they?

I feel highly gay-baited. This is worse than all of Kyo Ani combined. She doesn't even love Kurokawa? Fuck.

Indeed. She just wants to be the closest to her. It's perfectly normal.

It’s notably remarkably unusually normal—it’s more normal than anything ever seen before, is how normal it is.
