This whole series is about taking one step forward, ten steps back. Yep, I said ten. These girls are getting nowhere, worse part is the kid is the adult and the adult is the kid. These two need therapy. lol

nothing like a little trauma bonding between sisters in law. classic

kuzushiro has this great ability to very subtly rip your heart out and sew it back in again. just repeatedly. the angst she writes is just … so superb. it keeps a lot of us coming back for more but i can definitely understand why people are getting frustrated. hopefully kuzushiro’s planned out a chapter where they finally communicate properly and soon.

This is an unsupported, and unsupportable, reading of the characters in the series--this chapter is the first time we've seen Nozomi completely break down and explicitly ask to lean on Shino for emotional support.

Nozomi's whole character is defined by her attempt to be the grownup in her relationship with Shino, and while Shino would like to be more grown up in order to take some of the burden off her sister-in-law, she's always highly self-conscious about how young and inexperienced she is.

What a strong chapter! Really reminded me why I love this series so much. The use of the panels and the angle of the shots was great. I especially liked the page where Nozomi puts her hand on Shino's mouth. It looks so menacing, like she's going to suffocate her, it's great!
...That came out weird.

Anyway, it's good to see Nozomi finally open up about her feelings, even though this is likely to cause Shino to take a few steps back... I'm here for the angst, and I'm looking forward to seeing them actually move on (in maybe another hundred chapters lol).

ahhhhh i am not sure if this is progress or a regression at the same time???

but I guess its progress but in the wrong direction? it should have been let's get this OUT OF OUR SYSTEM

at least they are on the same track hopefully...

Yeah, maybe a little bit weird, but not really. Nozomi has been working so hard to be emotionally steady and hyper-competent that it’s great to see that deep grief and despair that we’ve had so many hints about finally erupt so volcanically.

And for this pair, even the dark night of the soul takes the form of being snuggle-bunnies.

Man that was a heavy binge on the feelings. The anxiety and sadness it gave me, jee.

Oooh, I hope this time Nozomi will finally start moving forward. My heart, this angst is too good.

I'm always cheering these two on. You will find happiness in the end!!

delicious angst and some progress towards the end

Somehow even the progress is teasing bait. :glares:

I won't like this series any less if it never gets a Yuri tag, but I'll definitely like it a lot more if it does.

I guess chapter 101 is gonna be the mega relief from Nozomi we've all been waiting for

credit page got me xD

This would be a nice place to end the series

what are you doing step sis?

Idk what to expect from this anymore. Nozomi let just tell everything you have been holding up. Maybe from that point we could move on not only you but readers with the plot as well

"This reminds me of the first time we slept together."

Context is overrated. I'll just take that sentence on its own.

I​ feel​ like​ they​ step​ to​ yuri​ then​ step​ back​ to​ platonic sister​ relationship​ again​ and​ again.​ Don't​ be​ ambiguous and​ toy​ with​ my​ heart.

oh my god are they going to actually talk????? after a hundred chapters trudging in angsty undertones and sudden excessive panel contrasting???? this is happening??? i can’t believe my eyes

If someone teased me in real life like this author teases in the manga I would have nothing to do with them. Yet here I am, reading this manga still.

This is so good.

I find this more like precious than teasing. Like, okay, I know yall gay no need for context
