If she could in the later years just communicate that the manga made her fall in love with Yuri, and she would be her model again. Maybe things could progress forward?
Instead of this angsty ending that goes nowhere...and is fueled by lack of communication and the like.
Pain from lack of communication is the worst sort of pain (as a reader)
Seriously. There's a lot of suffering I can withstand in a story, but people suffering b/c of a lack of communication or miscommunication always hurts me the most.
I blame the ending on the big bro being a bro: if the Gyaru hadn't had such an easy and drama-less induction into the world of yuri, then all the drama wouldn't have to build up at the end of the story.
Yo I like this a lot. On a personal level, as someone who got pushed around or treated as lesser or expendable during my school years, with people seemingly feeling free to treat me however they wanted while I couldn't push back for safety reasons, seeing someone treat an otaku character in a less-than-decent way, and then actually feel consequences for it, is super cathartic to me.
Personally i see the Otaku as the mean one here, she is the one who just pre-judged the Gyaru and didnt even try to communicate
Seems like the Otaku just used her (like she said, for her pretty face). So there was no hope to begin with. Meh.
Pretty much coupled with the lack of a good introduction to her snatching away her notebook just screws up the eventual chance to actually develop in the relationship in any way. To be honest this could have been a nice wholesome series if only the two weren't being so aggressive towards each other. It just looks like they both wanted to keep their own pride intact without even trying to apologize for what they have done wrong. Sure if the mangaka had gone through some form of bullying in the past then she might not hold the best impression of the MC nonetheless, she could at least try to hear her out first. Though that is not to say that the MC herself hadn't already screwed up her own first impression with the way that she had acted. Damn mate...
