What the heck is that supposed to mean?

I'm wondering the same. Feels like there's something lost in translation.

I think it's pretty clear though?

The "lies" will be revealed later probably, but what she means is that inside a tale, things must be true. There's no need to lie.

Something like, the flower fairies mentioned in Ch5 are kissing, but she pretends, inside the story, that it's not because they are in love, but because of some made up reason. Or whatever awakens isn't love. Or something like that.

So, she's lying.

And Mizuki can probably detect the lies, because she knows what Nana has in mind. That novel is probably a projection.

Yeah, I read it as Mizuki accusing Nana of not being emotionally honest in her writing, but phrasing it in the least helpful way possible (possibly because she wants Nana to put the pieces together herself?).

That or the message/theme behind the story is a lie that the author doesn't believe and that insincerity comes through to the reader.

Chapter 11 basically confirms the lie is just Nana not being honest about her feelings.

So, chapters 1-9 were the novel she was talking about in chapters 10-11....
...
...unless...
...
...unless last page of chapter 11 means that chapter 10 is a "how they got there" flashback

Yeah, DEFINITELY requesting what the fuck am I reading? tag for the whole thing

Pretty sure chapters 10 and 11 happen chronologically before chapter 1 and they work as flashbacks after they fell to the water. I imagine next chapter would be back to the present.

Aren't they just? I love Yoshitomi Akihito's yuri work, and these updates have been a real treat.

Leaning closer into my hypothesis about the machine trying to get her to admit her feelings. Maybe, just maybe, it's even a plot set up by Mizuki.

Very worried about the implications of this for future VR nookie.

You're reading a Yoshitomi Akihito manga; [visible confusion] is a perfectly normal reaction and no cause for alarm.

Sooo... it's working off the "VR headsets are actually mind uploading" trope?

Or "the brain scanner was disguised as a VR headset".

At this point I don't really care that I don't know what's going on but I still love this story. Let's jump down the rabbit hole and see where it takes us.
