Why do I like this, why, everyday, I stray farther away from god

Why does most of the material with bisexual tag ends up having a cheating tag.
Besides that.. I'm on the NYA team hahaha I love this mangaka.

Maybe it's because bisexual comes with the trope "I thought I was het before meeting her/him," and usually has some kind of cheating before the main character comes out to their lover and says, "oh, I realized I love this girl/boy, sorry, let's break up." I don't like it either, to be honest, and I've seen it in both GL and BL stories.

it's always like that
if it's not the lesbian who is "cured" and becomes straight,it's the straight that becomes lesbian
and yeah ik comp het is a thing but there is better ways to represent it...

While i agree that bisexual with cheating is way overdone, the 'i thought i was het before meeting X" can be quite cute when done well and without the cheating.

I'm reasonably sure there's at least a few of them on Dynasty.

An emotionally-manipulative, unfaithful, smoker, cat lady? Is she going for the red-flag highscore?

Yeah, you're not wrong at all. The only problem with this is the author crossing the "I'm gay for you" line. Writers (not only mangakas) have to be really careful when trying this approach, otherwise we're leaving a trope to enter another.
