Phew. Those were some intense chapters. I didn't expect Izumi to just come out and say it... and then we got 3 chapters of actual talking and resolutions like some kind of... healthy human relationship? Is this really a yuri manga? lol

The phrase "I know about those LGBT people" makes me just realize all over again that this is not such common knowledge in Japan and still treated as exotic. Sigh.

Anyway, this is Nanaki's strength, her complete honesty and straightforward attitude. She will abandon false friends in an instant, admit to her mistakes, apologize to those she wronged and act impulsively on her feelings. Only someone this honest and open-minded can truly make the line "But let's stay friends tho" work. Izumi was very lucky indeed.

Now if Nanaki could just realize what her feelings for Kurokawa actually entail, she may be just as honest about those. But that's the problem, she really doesn't understand yet. On the opposite end Kurokawa and Iroha have a really strong gaydar.... makes me wonder how long it will take for Iroha to figure out how her best friend truly feels as well.

Still a little concerned that Kuro said she just wants to be friends when confronted by Izumi a few chapters ago. The author has been signalling a Kurosawa + Nanaki relationship so hard that if they didn't end up together I would be pretty unhappy.

(It also seems like the author is setting up Izumi with Iroha. We see another example in this chapter where Iroha (and only Iroha) responds with a reaction to how cute/pretty Izumi is.)

To be fair, that's a really really low bar.

Is there a lot of drama? Yes.
Does the mangaka make it work? Also yes.

In the first few chapters of this manga, I didn’t really like Nanaki. Now she’s quite possibly my favorite out of all of them. Attagirl!! But also open your eyes and see that you don’t just wanna be Kurokawa’s bestest friend ok?

The author really pulled off that love triangle pretty damn well. It wasn't just an obstacle to romantic development to be danced around for chapter after chapter it was actually an important source of development for characters and their relationships outside of the main romance.

A perfect example of how drama can actually be a positive in a story if it's handled well.

Finally someone who comes out and states what so many people don't sem to get. "I want to stay friends" does NOT mean "I don't love you, now get out of my life because you make me feel uncomfortable." No, it means "I freaking want to stay friends, wtf did you think I said?!"

While I also revile that trope, it's more often than not the one who confessed that wants to make some distance. Hanging on after being rejected can be quite painful. It's not easy to go back to just being friends after such a reveal. It will keep being an unspoken thing on their mind each time they interact. The one who was confessed to will inadvertently be overly conscious of each act the other does and the one who got rejected has to constantly fight their attraction.

It's rough.

Why do you have to destroy peace, Nanaki
Wat
I wanna quote a popular comedy, but it's close to impossible to translate it well

Well, Izumi didn't kill herself yet, this is a good sign I hope. Still, she will be forever heartbroken because Nanaki is just so stereotypically blonde. What's with that Pre-Nanaki style Kanade outfits tho?!

Nanaki not realizing what she truly feels is actually important for how things are right now, seeing as how honest and straightforward she is she would confess right away the moment she realized her feeling are of romantic love.

as for Izumi, chin up girl, she is my favorite (both on looks and in character) and I really hope she can get a happy continuation of her story. it seems she suffered from heartbreak before judging for that little flashback we had, so she knows what she likes for some time now.

I'll be honest if Izumi made a full commitment on trying to make Nanaki fall in love with her, I would be behind her all the way at this point.

God, I would love a story that just pivoted the assumed end pairing around a love triangle midway through that could be really interesting to see.

It could be if done right. I would enjoy a yuri story that subverts my expectations, but seeing how this "wE aRe aLl JuSt bFfS" narrative is filling the story at the moment, i don't see this one as that. We all know Nanaki is one "Someone else confessed to my love interest" trope away from confessing her love for Kurokawa.

Ok, now that you're friends, be a good one Izumi and tell Nanaki how you lied to her about what she was feeling towards Kurokawa.

I keep thinking there was such a story, but I just can't bring it to mind at the moment. One of those complicated Takemiya Jin things, maybe . . .

Well there is Joou-sama no Eshi technically speaking. It's even a mixed triangle with a guy, but the lesbian ultimately wins the heroine in the end.

It's just that the story is more about the manga industry than anything. And how we got to the ultimate hook-up at the end was a bit badly telegraphed in the first half, but alas it fits all the critera.
