Yeah actually the following 4 chapters are all operating off the same moving parts that have been ticking throughout save for Koga, who partially aligns with Nanami being attractive to lesbian/bi people and getting detected on gaydar megahard (by everyone but Kaede) already. I wont ever like this manga more than Hello Melancholic, bc that ones a masterpiece (also a later work), but Yayoi has something good here imo.

spoilers for 14-18 Like, per the Kaede angst, her being burnt on love before makes perfect sense considering we know much the same of Nanami like, out the gate. Her breakup was the first chapter, as well as the confirmation she had been in another (likely) unsuccessful relationship with a woman before. You could conject, "just get married like normal" as a response to that burn, possibly, that remains to be seen, but she's already have some foil to Kaede. And throughout, Kaede's aspirations as a mangaka have always been her priority so it's no surprise she would think herself romantically unavailable, despite relying so heavily on Nanami emotionally. Currently, that is still attached to the aspiration, whereas Nanami has been able to detach it and see it for what it is, love. When that dream is on the cusp of fruition, and Nanami's sorrow is a palpable hurricane at the prospect of moving out, we will see Kaede follow suit. I trust this one to pan out, I really don't think it's that grim.

and besides if you're able to let whispering you a love song's melodrama slide, this is not a big deal, and far less on the "melo-" end.

As someone who's read ahead elsewhere, I personally recommend abandoning ship at this point unless you like shitty forced drama, really creepy love triangles, and the worst aaaaaaanggsttt

speaking for yourself please! I personally hate thous kind of stories, BUT NOT THIS ONE! your exagerating way to much with the angast as if there is something REALLY angasty about this story lool ain’t one for sure!, also the creepy love triangles? really? what I saw thous chapters on manga dex there ain’t that bad given this is how the author will use thous other confessions to progress the story, plus there are way more shity love triangles on this website, so stop exagerating and telling people to drop the story for that werid reason

Yes! I second that! I cannot stand pointless drama and forced love triangles and all that garbage but this story has never once given me that vibe. I’m really enjoying this story and all of this authors works tbh.

Was this posted here before? I could have sworn I saw something like this already, set up the exact same way. Ex-roomate left pot or other appliance at old house, one of the mcs becomes friends with someone. Ex-roomate is called to pick it up, and then they call when they get there, and it's the new friend the mc made. Was there another manga that used this exact same setup?

i feel this too.. cant put my finger on it tho.. god this is going to bug me lol

Could be that I read this chapter on another site previously but I’m not sure

Did you ignore the answer to this that was made 3 hours before you asked?

Reading on mangadex and after chapter 14, I am really not a fan of Aoi.

Here's the thing, I've never read any yuri doujin series outside of dynasty. The only things I've read are Manhwa and one-shots. Even with the way this arc ended with Aoi being engaged seems like deja vu. I'll never know where I've seen this before, and maybe I never will.

Edit: Actually, I think I remember hearing this story wasn't gonna finish being translated here, so maybe I decided to just go elsewhere. This is gonna bother me for a long time

This feels really stupid for some reason...
Knowing it'll end well I'm still gonna read it through the end, but it's kinda bleh.

Ah, yes. Just normal.

Blimey, the TL nailed it with feign book. The black haired gal seems to panic more with each meeting.

ALERT! STALKER DETECTED! ALERT!

Nanami has the cutest dog. :nods:

So why would you call your breasts "onii-chan"?
. . . That's not it? But she said--

Aoi really is a completely unnecessary character; I kind of suspect that originally it was Louko who plays this role in the plot, but then the author or an editor decided they wanted an additional "type" of lady character so they cut Louko's story short and inserted this random person.

Which sucks because Louko is the absolute best and Aoi is very dull.

Then why would u want Louko to do the same things Aoi did. That would've ruined her character for me. That's why I'm glad it was Aoi who did what she did

It's kind of a trope. Was it this one?:
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/what_is_love#2

Side note, it didn't seem to be a joke that Aoi had 17 partners. Is it that surprising that one was a primary?

And even not clicking the spoiler tags I feel like I've managed to spoil the entire structure/thrust of the back half of the manga by reading the comments, just a reminder to spoil your spoilers for people who haven't read this yet. Even if you're just here to complain. I'm gonna stay out of these comments tho from now on just in case

I think you maybe did read it on dynasty unless my mind is playing games with my memory.. which is also quite possible. I don't really follow this series because at first I find it kinda boring.. but time to time I would check on it if it shows up on the front page when I access dynasty. So basically, I don't read all of it, I just read whatever ch shows up. I remember very clearly one day I try to read the ch that shows up like usual and getting very confused about who Aoi is and why is she the one with Nanami, not Kaede, which made me end up checking some previous ch to figure out what did I miss.

Just like you I also only read on dynasty and use other sites for manhwa. But for quite a long time I start only read on dynasty because my country block other sites. I don't really mind since I can read manhwa update through scanlators in fb. The only one I read outside dynasty are Yuri is My Job and Kobayashi-san's series.. which I rarely do. If I read 2dk series on other sites, it doesn't explain my memory about getting confused of Aoi because only on dynasty I read any chapter randomly that shows on the front page. I always run to filter the genre or search the name of the series when I use other sites.

She wouldn't do it the same way. The important plot thing here is that Nanami encounters someone who makes a move on her in a blatantly, undeniably gay fashion and she's into it but can't commit, and so she realizes she loves Kaede. Louko would do it with more smarminess and less getting engaged.

The author does seem to really like Louko, though, so maybe it was also to spare her any potential blowback for being an obstacle to the Main Couple.

I do agree it was a shame we haven’t had many scenes involving Louko recently. Especially since it was revealed she has a crush it’d be at least interesting to see how it’s goïng for her.

Wow mga accla

what in the goddamn double simultaneous confession

The AUDACITY for Ohsawa to end it there!

Attacked on both sides.
