Sounds Hella ominous I hope it's not abusive parents or a guardian abusing her :c

Not letting your child outside and apparently trying to control them as adults as well definitely is abuse.

That "mom" angle looks made up to me. But we'll see.

I hope it's that instead of some controlling mom, that would be painful to see.

If the mom thing is the truth I guess she's in an arranged marriage now.

Reminds me of Asuka's mom from Hibike. No hobbies, only test scores. Must be a real pain to deal with...

Interesting. There's a book called "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua or short handedly known as "Tiger Mom" (with a TV show of the same name Tiger Mom based on it ). And it caused controversy basically a philosophical fight between laissez faire parenting and "demanding eastern" parenting.

Asuka Tanaka's tale is sad. I hope Shiho's lot is better.

I'd be very surprised if this took a Sex Trafficking approach.

THAT CLIFFHANGER? NO. When I'm falling in love with Shiho myself?

Why was the "mom" at the front gate this time, I wonder. I know a few people before guessed that maybe she was meeting and hooking up with a teacher, so I much prefer a strict parent to that. Still not great though

Nah I don't think the mom was hooking up with a teacher. What I think happened and is probably more likely is that she probably received a phone call about how she was missing practice from a concerned teacher who probably thought she was sick. Her mom probably put all the pieces together and realized she skipped out. I don't think she was getting abused, but a tiger mom is one of the scariest things in the world. It's tramatic

Not the mother, people were thinking (myself included, but not with a teacher, cause why would a teacher sit outside of the school in their car) Shiho was meeting with an older man/teacher as Miwa mentioned a suspicious car always waiting outside of the school and commenting how Shiho looks like he has given up on humanity.

Though it turns out it's her mother that always waits outside to pick her up from school, not allowing any outside of school activities. Shiho mentions she's a "burnt-out failure" in the previous chapter, so I guess she failed to get into the prestigious school of her parents choice and is now forced to do nothing but study. Her being at the reunion shows she has some freedom now or has completely cut ties.

Is that content from upcoming, so far untranslated chapters, or just speculation? If the former: spoiler much?

No, just me guessing from these last two chapters.

Lovely chapter. Maybe it's just me but Shiho reminds me a little tiny bit of Saeko, even the way they're drawn and similar attitudes I guess? Except Shiho is a bit more introspective and not all short tempered.

I really hope this next chapter comes out ASAP, I'm so excited and invested.

I actually just went down a terrible hole trying to find raws of the next chapter lol. The official website for the comic this series runs in only has the first three chapters and the last two chapters (44 and 45 at this point which are past volume 4). Apparently you can buy an electronic version of the volumes (our next English chapter, 26, is in volume 3) but since my IP isn't in Japan, it won't let me buy it lol.

So the short answer is, not for this point in the story as far as I can tell without using a VPN lol. Someone else might know though?

From what I could gather from the website where you could buy the raws electronically tho some stuff goes down. Idk how to use spoiler tags or else I'd say what happens ahaha sorry

Edit: Okay, not quite the same, but physicals can be purchased on Japanese Amazon! https://urasunday.com/title/603 I think that link should work. The comics cost less than the shipping lol but I bought Swap Swap this way and it was great

Hey so, I binged read this manga and found out it has a one shot.

I read the one shot...

Are they still gonna break up? I don't think I can handle heart break right now...

Okay so, I back read the thread. Seems like nobody knows for sure how this is gonna end... If they do break up, I hope the author brings them back together.

The thing is, this serialization is different from the one shot... I genuinely believe that both of these girls like (or something more maybe?) each other by this point, wherein the one shot, they both agree that it was a sexual relationship in the end.

I am so rooting for these girls to work out their problems though. I know, they're incompatible, but I still want them to work out and get over their issues. Especially Saeko, she needs to see a therapist, girl has baggage on her baggage. I want her to open up to Miwa but nooo she's so stubborn... I hope this senpai arc actually makes their relationship progress.

This new arc with the senpai is just making me a little nervous, and I checked the author's Twitter and got 2x more anxious.

This manga really hits different. It's way too realistic that it actually kind of hurts. I've learned a lot about myself while reading. One thing that stuck out to me is what Miwa's mother said. When is it okay to not tell your partner your part or your secrets? I agree that there some things that people are better off not knowing, but where do you actually draw the line?

I'm probably the only who prefers Shiho to Saeko. Also probably the only one who would be 100% fine with the break up. Break ups happen. It's common in sapphic/lgbt spaces to even become good friends (or ocassional FWB) with your ex, as seen in two one-shots.

Nope, there's at least two of us.

I mean, what we have on Shiho right now is two flashback chapters showing that she grew up with a really strict family and probably has a lot of emotional baggage as a result. I'm not going to root for Miwa to be with Shiho any more than I would've rooted for her to be with Saeko back in the first chapter, though I think it's becoming clear who Miwa was/is more into.

Make that three.

And now it's four B-]

I wound up buying the raw volumes to see how much she'd be in the next chapters. She was the tipping point for me~
