See??? I knew it. You just have to be patient, jeez. What fun is a story where everything is perfect immediately? The fun is in watching the character grow, which Watanabe did in spades this time around. I guarantee it wouldn't have been nearly as heartwarming if she'd just immediately gone from yuri otaku to perfect Mary Sue. Good stories show characters growing as people- just because they take a grand total of eight chapters to get there doesn't mean the main character deserves to be relentlessly bagged on for being flawed. It's no fun if everything starts out perfect/all the protagonists are paradigms of humanity. Nobody wants to read that.

As long as I find it amusing enough I don't care either way.
I'm the same way- I was referring to those who commented solely to bag on the main character. It just bugs me when people think in black and white (i.e. Watanabe is either ALL good or ALL bad- i.e. hating her purely on the basis that she's oblivious to Yoshioka because she thinks differently than most people). There were so many comments that existed solely to bash the main character, and it just annoyed me that people had so little patience when it was obvious this would be a character growth manga.
I'll admit I definitely got too worked up over something pretty insignificant, but it's just that I've been telling people all along to be patient, and that the growth is what makes the story great. It was just frustrating, that's all. It might also have to do with the fact that some of the ways Watanabe thinks remind me of myself growing up with undiagnosed autism. People just assume you mean the worst when your brain just works differently.
But that's too deep for a fluffy yuri manga- I'm just glad to have another update, especially now that it's getting into the good stuff (not just those two, but also finally getting some real yuri vibes between the friend and her onee-sama!).
