I really like Fuuko. She seems so cunning and has a plan that I am really curious about. I am also curious about Natsume as from the first chapter there is maybe the possible hint that she might like a Senpai in her club but from the coloured spread she might be serious about this hidden relationship.I am definetly looking forward to updates of this.

Let me guess, she's never even gonna consider telling her girlfriend she feels lonely but is still going to feel completely justified because of it.

I usually don't care for cheating tropes but honestly, her relationship with Nanase looks so dysfunctional already this is just accelerating the inevitable.

The author knew what they were doing by having a likely toxic and vile character bring up her enjoyment of a book based off a parasitic fungus.

I like stories with lots of flawed, selfish characters. Makes for great drama. And it really feels like they're acting their age which is kinda refreshing.

I don't agree personally. Teenagers (and adults of course) can be selfish and flawed, but most aren't cunning sociopaths that destroy people's relationships and lives for entertainment. Which seems to be the direction we're going in. For me the first chapter felt very detached from reality, and rather than realistic it felt highly exaggerated for the sake building up spiraling misery and drama.

Anyways, there are two kinds of people in this world

After Luminous = Blue, I have high expectations from this artist. And I'm already liking it so far! However, this blonde chick does give off some...odd vibes.

I hope it is better than the absolute piece of garbage that Luminous: Blue was. Pretty art and every other subject taking points from the overall score.

I think though I'm somewhere in the middle, the author has really nice art, some interesting ideas, but their characters often feel...wrong? So it's hard to believe their characters and writing due to it.

Was not expecting this at all from the tags (probably still missing some) but I am full on board. Love me some dramatic love affairs with cunning antagonists. Really curious to see what the motivations are here too.

Ok, I am expecting to see a "cheating" tag in about...next chapter or the one after that. I don't know what creeps me out more, someone posting all about her stuff like that or the stalkerish long haired girl. Hmmm

I think you perfectly summed up what's going to be one of my biggest problems. I've seen it a couple times recently where authors try to make things like cheating and so fourth as "justified", all because the characters can't just communicate and talk to each other. The MC's problems would be solved so much quicker if she communicated how she felt to her girlfriend, and didn't stream her thoughts on Twitter. Instead we're probably going to have a story where the author writes the MC as an easily preyed upon helpless girl that can't communicate and gets taken over by the antagonist stalker.

The other thing that I find weird and scary about the Twitter aspect is how much teenagers put on social media in general, in real life I mean. There are so many creepy horrible people that will take advantage of it if they can, and it's a serious problem from what I know.

What is the point of having a secret alt account so people don't recognize you if you post pics of yourself with very poor placed stickers?

Most stories like this would end after chapter 1 if people actually communicated. But hey, that's how relationships go irl for so many people.

Not entirely sure if I'll like this. I prefer my stuff a bit more fluffy than this. We'll see. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a cheating story!

I dunno... This author's stories are just... Meh. But I'll give this one a go, but I don't expect much.

Bad and stoopid as it may look, the lack of honesty and communication presented here is not that... unreal? Cause ive seen worse things in my town which as you may guess, ends in toxic and unstable relations i can only count 2 or 3 out of like more than 10 couples ive seen so far that were successful in that aspect and guess what, those are still dating after years while the ones who failed broke after a couple of months at max, its stoopid but it happens irl which makes it worse xd

Interesting... I had a feel it was gonna be something like this from the title, but I'm interested. Maybe this will give the other girl some more confidence in the relationship, if she's even interested in it to begin with. I get being closeted because you're afraid of how people will react, but shouldn't it be fine to do stuff in private? Plus, if I'm reading it right, she was the one who confessed

I'll be interested to see if those two will get their act together... will she end up with Natsume, or Taki?

So far. I don't like this. Also, I don't know who decided these sort of edgy sociopathic characters make for good writing, but they are wrong. Yes, real people can be flawed but the vast majority don't act this cartoonish.

That's also part of the problem, yeah communication problems exist irl, but it's frustrating when authors exaggerate a lack of communication to absurd degrees and all because the series continuing entirely hinges on that concept. I know some people love it, but for me while a series with many communication issues can still be fun...it often doesn't feel like good writing when communication issues are repeatedly used to drag out issues and stretch the story. The characters could communicate, still have character flaws and personality problems, and then drama comes from that. I think it would at least be better than an absurd lack of communication.

The very first page has an implied sex scene, featuring an unfamiliar black bra, Fuuko's book, and Yuni's phone. Just throwing it out there. (Not sure what the star and moon shaped jewelry means though.) It looks more than just symbolism, compared to the melodramatic threesome on the title spread. But I would love a good surprise.
