Even Risako lied about meeting with him in early chapters. It's just gets confusing... Like, why? They were friends, Kaoru and Reiichi were friends with Risako, they know it, also the part were Reiichi and Risako dated, everything's known until now, even Uta knows it because Risako told her... Reiichi could've told Kaoru that he was working with Risako, and that's it, but neither that.

Reiichi lied because he was guilty about his feelings and is extremely bad at communicating with Kaoru anyway. Then he had to keep lying because he lied the first time.

Risako lied because she wanted Kaoru to find out and feel betrayed and cut her out of her life, so Risako wouldn't have to be in love with her anymore.

oh risako was into kaoru the all time
this is the moment where we pretend we are surprised?

well after learning that RinPana from love live is canon, no drama can affect me at this point xD

Wait actually ?

Huh? Where? How? Link the source please :O

I did not expect that my comment would be given so much importance, but yeah, in the official magazine of love live school diary, Rin asks hanayo to be her wife. There is a translation in Spanish on facebook: P

Unrelated but, Rinpana is official?

FUCK YEAH TIME TO SIGN THOSE PAPERS!!!

Never thought I'd be joining a chant for divorce but... D I V O R C E

HECK YEAH. LETS GO UTA! LETS GO LESBIAN LETS GOOO

TURN UP THE GAY SHIT

MARRY UTA

I don't care about the previous 33 chapters of torture. I am excited for the next chapter. As long as the author reveals Risako's inner thoughts or her side of the story, this manga is saved for me. A good chance it'll make it onto my like list, ha-ha.

Hurrah for direct communication! And Risako!! \O/

At this point, everyone's love is and will be unrequited.

Except maybe for some side characters.

If Risako really has feelings(romantically) for kauro, I feel like she would be messing with Uta in the future if EVER uta and kauro get together(If they really would)....

I need timeskip soon

Reichii did say it was a betrayal anyway. Plus a strong hint that the main reason they didn't have sex was Risako's prudence.

Not prudence, Risako is a lesbian. 100%
She's moving like a cat around a mouse.

Divorce :)

WE WANT

DIVOOOOOOOOORRRRCE

DIVORCE! DIVORCE! DIVORCE!

YESSSSSS DIVORCE! DIVORCE! KAORU IS BI!
LET'S GO LESBIANS LET'S GO!

YYEEEAAAH GEETT INTOOO ITT!!!
GO GO DIVORCE! WHOO!

FUCK YEAH TIME TO SIGN THOSE PAPERS!!!

lmfao, the fact that this is true just makes it funnier... and sad... damn, poor Kaoru

Oh, well, it was needed so she realize how she was living her life, character development!

Ahahahahahaha gawd! That credit page

What do you base that on?

Maaaaate, feels like its going somewhere! Recent chapters have been soooo good

This chapter mase me not want Kaoru to end up with Uta even more. It feels selfish on her part if she ends up with Uta. She'd be picking Uta not because she loves her but because she wants to be loved and Uta is the only one that loves her.

I also don't think Risako loves Kaoru.

Unrelated but, Rinpana is official?

yeah in the official manga rin says to hanayo: "I want you to be Rin's wife!"

Wouldn't that make Chikayou and Honoka and Kotori canon as well?

"Do we need to like each other to be married?"
Yes, since she loves you. Wtf man, either learn to love her or leave her be.

Can you really learn to love somebody?

In a certain way, yes. Plenty of arranged marriage relationships learn to love each other in their own way, maybe not the way you and I imagine it, but they still care strongly for each other.

Pretty much. The kind of lasting emotional attachment that gets couples stay together more-or-less happily in the long run is, alas, entirely different from the kind of passionate infatuation that spontaneously gets them together in the first place and there's little to no correlation between the two.

No shortage of couples who got together with ardent passionate love but fell apart after that transient emotion cooled and they didn't manage to establish a long-term bond.

In an ideal world, everyone would be with someone they are in love with. But this isn't the case most of the time.
So I understand Reiichi's pov. The thing is, even if they stayed together would he still be tempted to see Risako? And how would these lingering feelings affect his relationship with Kaoru. Could he eventually get over it, or would he become more miserable? Personally I think the first, if he took some time off away from Risako.

But I also don't believe that "learning to love someone" and being with them for a long time means it's better than dating someone you were in love with but broke up.
People just love convenience and simple things, and some don't like having very strong feelings for someone. So that's the companionship type of relationship, which is just friendship with sex. It's not romance.

On the contrary, I think risako has no feelings except for kaoru.
In any case risako has blown up any hope of kaoru to start again from zero with reicchi, the point of no return has been reached...

Im just as confused is it really official?

She looked up like they're about to have a shounen fist fight.

You know I was prepared to hate Reicchi but this chapter made it clear that even though he doesn’t romantically love Kaoru that he was willing to marry her and hide his feelings to make her feel better. It’s not the correct thing to do of course but at least he didn’t just dump her completely from his life after he broke up with Risako. And of course that also gave him the opportunity to take Uta away from their parents and make her live with him. And the fact the he confessed that when he realized he still loves Risako after meeting up again rather than lying about means that he’s nice at heart but his feelings are mixed up
