Wow so Ive read all 16 chapter twice, looking forward to more. Ive noticed after reading these posts that many people dont like Haruki (For good reason). However, what surprises me is that she didnt take advantage of Aya when she had the chance.
Bare with me. But her character seems to be jealous and selfish when it comes to keeping Aya for herself. An she wants to grab and learn how to do things with Aya. Thats been made clear in a few chapters. How she gets bothered from the nude pic, how she tries to start kissing Aya neck but Aya stops her, you think that would be it. But no she goes again? This time full nude, and confession. What shocked me, is that Aya didnt stop her. Haruki asked her to get naked and she just accepted it.
At first i thought, ok so you just hug there naked, wouldnt that just hurt you more and why did Aya allow that? She would let her keep kissing her neck an messing with her clothes but was just ok to fully strip? Makes no sense.
But then I read it a second time. An it hits me different, at this point in time Aya is more invested with Sei’s Yoru problem. She starts to feel bad for her needing a replacement, and though she starts to begin hating the replacement, a part of her also felt like her sleeping with her helps Sei or relieves some of her pain.
So now, she has this help her type attitude, now Her friend comes to her like this, clearly in pain, an so what does she do, she plays along to make her feel better.
Which now makes me think, if Haruki asks Aya to help her with her pain, by letting her make love to her. Would Aya say yes?
Thats my question for you guys, what do you guys think?
One part me is like, “nah shes way too into Sei”.
But the other part is like: “but she did that for Sei, she was a body to replace her actual love for Yoru”
In this case she would be helping her childhood best friend be with person she loves even if she herself loves Sei.
Idk if i make sense, just would like to get your guys thoughts.
Side Note:
It Kinda reminds me of Sanae and Hanabi.
What I wish would be discussed is the family backgrounds of the main characters (all four of 'em) and Yoru's as well if we go by the logic that she slept with married men because she was propably conceived this way. But thanks to Sei who began to destroy her relationships and trying to control her (propably in a similar way Sei's parents did with her and the real reason why Sei latched onto Yoru) as soon as she was "rejected" she never realized and learned for "herself" that following such a path is not a happy one and she became the thing she used to date an unfaithful spouse!
Likewise with Sei since she was so desperate to escape her apparently controlling abusive parents grasp (who still don't know she is a lesbian) she never took proper healthier steps and jumped straight into a convenient relationship with Yoru and became an addict believing that she was in love when in truth she propably wasn't.
Aya's parents barely see nor interact that much with her so she believe's she shouldn't be loved and thinks that her only family her childhood friend should stay away from her and find someone else. Notice that she chooses to ignore all the signs telling her she is not really in love with Sei she doesn't know this because this is her first relationship and she doesn't love herself she hates herself.
There is a very good reason Haruki makes the decision not to take advantage of her and this is her family they give her breathing room and the chance to be herself and form her own identity. Sometime's the best form of love is letting someone go and be themselves! She even says: I "think" I have fallen in love with you!
Before you start typing back reread the manga Mochida takes advantage of her vulnerable state (her impulsive decision eats her, she and Aya recently had a fight, she struggles to accept her homosexuality and recently awakened lust heck sei had to point out that Haruki likes Aya before she decided to project her younger self onto her) both in chapter 8 right after Haruki receives the photo (read Haruki's dialogue during her second fight with Aya there is no way Mochida knows this and we don't read what she tells Haruki but look where her eyes wander before she shows her a picture of Sei) in chapter 13 (which shows Mochida's hate of red ribbon's) we don't hear what she and the rumor girl really talked about and she manipulates Haruki as soon Aya abandon's her conveniently leaving Sakai's name out.
Notice that in chapter 8 and 12 Aya's inner dialouge during the scenes with Haruki is left out what I also find odd is that a certain picture from chapter 8 is in the Yurihime release but not in the official manga release you can find it here: https://mangakakalot.com/chapter/ih921167/chapter_8 it's the picture announcing Vol. 1 is on sale with both Haruki and Aya touching each others faces.
One last thing looking back on chapter 12 with the last picture of the hugging I believe that Aya choose to steal Haruki's first kiss and Haruki doesn't know this!

(You can tell she won't change all that much after growing up!)
