Damn, I'm still rooting for Fuuko to end up with Yuni. Both are sick but they are perfect for each other. Also given that Fuuko understands and treated Yuni way better than Nanase could ever be lol.

As for Nanase, she either choose to dedicate herself to volleyball or find someone who can relate to her passion. Win-win.

Most of all, Im waiting for the day Yuni and Nanase broke up. I dont think their relationship can be salvage even if Nanase changes herself or Yuni choses her over Fuuko. The damage has been done. Their relationship were doomed from the start.

P.S. Please dont end up like luminous blue. The ending does not make any sense at all.

Really we're all here just to watch the train wreck, sometimes is fun to watch something so unapologetically messed up that doesn't shy away from portraying character as assholes instead of trying to justify their shitty behavior and utterly fail at it

That's the heart of it. No one thinks Fuuko is a good person. Hell she doesn't. Everyone in this manga sucks but it's obvious Nanase should date her chipper volleyball bestie and Yuni and Fuuko should fuck off together. But that isn't how manga works so its just kind of funny to watch it explode

This.

Hmmm...is the author setting up the polyamorous route by having Nanase saying its possible to love more than one thing? Is it foreshadowing Yuni loving both Nanase and Fuuko?

The other girl in the volleyball team is very sweet but compared to the main 3 characters she seems too safe, almost boring even so I don't want Nanase to end up with her. Let's keep the drama going please this is amazing. I need this story to keep going please don't get cancelled and have a rushed ending!

Huh. Kinda disappointing that I can once again just got "huh" with a new chapter. This is beginning to resemble startlingly regular human behavior, but surely Iwami-sensei still has some absurdity left to entertain us with, right?

Nanase is hypocrite.
For her is fine to have 2 things she likes at the same time (club and GF), but she forbade Yuni to have 2 girlfriends at the same time.

She is acting awfully wrong in this chapter toward Yuni and Fuuko.

is this a dumb joke or are you for real? because i actually saw people in other forums being completely divorced from reality on what an relationship works while reading the most absurd depiction of relationships ever this manga

You know this day someone can love more than one personn ? So Nanase telling Yuni she can love two things is quit ambigous here

Nanase can have 2 things she love Yuni and voleyball. But Yuni have to choose wich girls she want to be with and neither see the other one ever again.

Yes Fuuko since the start is acting on her interest and have a strange mindset but it wouldn't be interesting at all with no shit so...

Hm, I'm not satisfied with this chapter. Toxic as it may be, I want Yuni and Fuuko together. They're interesting.

I'm surprised nobody asks what they're gonna do about sex now.
For me, that's the main question.

The one big problem with Nanase x Yuni, as it's been extensively discussed before, is that Nanase doesn't seem to have any desire towards Yuni's body. She's a teenager, full of raging hormones; she got herself a cute girlfriend; she should be desperate for time alone with Yuni, to hug her and touch her and kiss her and fuck her! But nope, all they have done for the last six months is exchange texts. Oh, and greet each other at school if per chance they meet. That's it. No weekend dates, no secret trysts, no quality time together, nothing. And Nanase was a-ok with this.

Now that they're back together, will Nanase suddenly find that she has a sex drive? Or is her idea of being a better girlfriend taking Yuni for strolls at the park and gifting her flowers and bonbons? And a sisterly kiss on the cheek from time to time?

joined Feb 27, 2014

Let's compare a little
NanasexYuni
Are girlfriend for sometimes, don't go on date, don't kiss everytime they see each other, don't have sex... well what do they di really ?

FuukoxYuni
Have some dates, have kiss plainty of time every panel they are together. Have sex, do see each other a lot, talk, and so on

Fuuko maybe was ok at the start to be the second woman. But at time goes on, i think here feeling may have grow and now she don't want to be second.

She has given time to Yuni telling here that she would choose her if she let Fuuko be her one and only.

Yeah sorry Yuni it takes two to tango and just because y’all wanna make blondie into the big bad villian to defeat doesn’t mean you’re suddenly absolved. You’re a awful person still and it will take nothing less than a head on the floor apology for EVERYTHING you put Nanase through and even THEN you wouldn’t deserve it but it’d be a start

Nah, Nanase needs to grow a backbone and dump her cause she deserves someone better than a cheater who blames everyone instead of talking things out.
The fact that people have a hate boner for Nanase and not Yuni blows my mind. Like I understand she wasn't giving her attention but that in no way justify cheating on her. Then again everyone in this story but Yuki (Nanase friend) are shitty. Like at this point Yuni and Fuuko deserver each other. Man, I can't wait to see just how this train wreck would end, lol.

Basically your gf f*ck another girl while you chasing for your passion and don't care about her enough, without break up with you. No one is really the victim in this. They are all selfish, want to have all for themselves. The gf did not break up first, want to have both gf and sidechick, the sidechick wants to ditch another person's gf and become the "only one" and lastly an idiot don't know what it's like to run a relationship rightfully. Morally, cheating is wrong. Emotionally, it happens a lot nowaday and it's understandable especially when you have a cold partner.
Maybe the author just want to drag this out by some bs and how it escalates, then the viewers keep fighting each other for which to root and which is the evil to endless

And...we should not forget that Fuuko did not answer Yuni why she loves her, they were interrupted by forceful entrance of Nanase.
She literally entered, grabbed Yuni like her possession (and Yuni liked it!) and took her away from Fuuko.

Forceful and possessive, like when just couple of chapters ago we had a scene where Fuuko openly undressed and groped Yuni in front of Nanase? I guess opening a door can be viewed similarly, perhaps. Yuni probably liked that too though, maybe she is just a fickle bitch?

But really why even try to compare who is the "most bad" at this point (though it's Yuni), just anticipate the final big crash that is surely coming.

joined Feb 24, 2023

I pretty much think Nanase did nothing wrong and trying to put the blame on her as if she deserved to be cheated on is extremely gross. She’s a high school kid who’s trying to accommodate her first partner as best she can. She spends a lot of time at club and neglects her gf, okay that’s a normal problem a normal couple can have and Nanase DOES put in every effort she can to spend time with Yuni, it’s not like she totally ignores her? She also deals with a lot of personal issues being in the closet that Yuni has no patience for, won’t even let her have someone to confide in like a friend or anything.

And that’s the problem, is Yuni is all take no give, she expects Nanase to do EVERYTHING in their relationship, texting her first, make plans, won’t actually COMMUNICATE, wants Nanase to give up her life’s passion for her like the selfish twat she is. It’s no wonder she so easily fell for Fuuko’s manipulation when that girl gives Yuni exactly what she wants whenever she wants it.

Nanase’s only mistake was not kicking Yuni to the curb frame 1 and seriously is giving Yuni a second chance she doesn’t deserve.

I love how this series subverts, indeed denies and makes a mockery of, the inevitable Dynasty commenters’ attempt to sort characters into “the worst one” (who is the cause of all the problems) and “the best one” (who has done nothing wrong and suffers unjustly).

Insert 3 x Spider-Mans pointing at each other meme here.

EDIT: lol Not that that ever stopped anybody (see below).

It is so refreshing to read a normal comment. I agree, Yuni really is the worst.

Of course it's very similar, as you noticed. We can see from both examples that Yuni is submissive and enjoys to be taken, swept away (probably something close to "consensual non-consent").
Definitely she won't fight against it, as we saw from before in her interactions with Fuuko (it was "borderline assault"). And it would be, if Yuni is not as she is, consensually submissive without verbal acknowledgment. And Fuuko respected her boundaries, understanding them without speaking verbally with Yuni about them.

That's why Yuni chose Nanase this time, because she was turned on by situation and how Nanase dominated above her and Fuuko.
Probably she likes such an energy in her partner, it moves her.
And probably she feels something close to love for both girls in same time.

Does it make her bad? Not sure, she is just a typical submissive character with poly inclinations (yet not aware of it). She is something like a cat, as her avatar shows already.

You're right. This chapter made me furious for a dozen different reasons, but then again Yuni is exactly as you say. It's in character for her to react like that.

Nanase's deal is all wrong no matter how you look at it. Looking for Yuni in her free time, taking her on dates, displays of affection, sex, they don't come natural to her. She was perf happy with things as they were till now, and she's offering to make sacrifices (not big sacrifices like the club, small sacrifices) to win Yuni back. For Yuni, she'll do stuff she wouldn't do otherwise. But the point is: all those things should not be sacrifices!!!! If spending time with a girl and having sex with her is a big concession you make against your natural drive (which is to go do some more voleyball) and only agree to it to humor her, then you shouldn't be dating her in the first place!

Yuni should realize this... but the author herself said that she purposefully put in Yuni every trait she finds annoying in a woman, so it's no surprise that she made the wrong choice.

Why are we giving Nanase such a hard time yet infaltizing Yuni by saying “oh she’s just like that”? Again expecting Nanase who’s still a kid, to be a perfect girlfriend and always know the exact correct choice to make when she has to juggle club, being in the closest, and a overly demanding Yuni who expects her to do all the work? How is that not unfair? And honestly acting like Nanase doesn’t actively WANT to spend time (intimate or otherwise) with Yuni despite being busy with club is complete conjecture, nowhere was this implied. She’s just not a mind reader and can’t keep up with Yuni’s constantly demanding and mood swings, she’s not flawless but she TRIES to make it work, which is a hell of a lot more then fucking Yuni has ever done (besides going to Osaka to see her game and we’ll we know what happened in Osaka).

All of Nanase’s fumbles could’ve easily be solved is Yuni just freakin TALKED to her and not bottle everything up and let herself fester and get easily enabled by Yuuko. Nanase is not a stubborn person and HAS shown she’s able to improve and change if it helps strengthen their relationship

If sex with your gf is work to you, maybe you're dating the wrong girl. Just sayin'.

Don't forget a group date on the festival. Nanase invited all girls from her club beside Yuni. And practically sabotaged any development of intimacy between her and Yuni.
(and Yuni gave her the talk about everything, pulling her aside, it's not like she was completely silent not expressing what is wrong and how she feels)

And don't forget their anniversary. Club was over and girls invited Nanase to go with them to hang out. And she answered something like:
"OK, I have nothing else to do".
And she remembered about their anniversary after the midnight and called Yuni. It's not like Yuni was the first thing on her mind after the club was over.

It's not as you said, that it's all conjectured and nowhere implied, as you can see...

Both these things fall under normal human mistakes someone new to a relationship would make, let alone one between girls in a society that disapproves of them. Yuni in a rare moment DOES complain to her about the Festival and Nanase lisyens! And strives to do better! Communication!!!!! And that’s immediately out the window when Yuni puts all the responsibility on Nanase to remember their anniversary during a busy time for her (which she remember EVERY TIME PREVIOUSLY but the ONE time it slips her mind it’s suddenly unacceptable) and instead of communicating, decides to immediately cheat on her, even after she apologizes the next day. Can’t believe she just didn’t turn into the perfect girlfriend overnight

Calm down, nobody said that your remarks about their age and inexperience are out of place.
It's their first relationship and they all are making mistakes, it's understandable.

There’s a tendency among commenters to regard mistakes and misbehavior due to age and naïveté as not counting as mistakes and misbehavior.

I understand the argument for communication and I know many who just like you think that talking to your partner and telling them your needs is the panacea for everything.

But I hope you understand that having to constantly beg for sex to a partner who is cold like a block of ice and has absolutely no desire for your body can become very humiliating—and will in time turn your feelings sour.

There is a person who knows from personal experience that the age of 25 is the turning point when someone takes complete responsibilities for their actions and behavior.
Everything before that counts as immaturity and is easily forgivable or not so harshly (or fully) judged.

That’s hilarious. 25, huh?—no more, no less. Be sure to notify the professional psychological societies of your astounding research discovery.

Again I’m not sure if I missed this or what but I just cannot recall anytime Yuni outright asked Nanase for sexy times and most of her requests were just standard intimacy like holding hands/hugging etc, stuff normal couples do public that they’re forced to conceal which is the point of frustration. Sexual advances are something totally different and (usually) done in private, so I don’t think Nanase would have a problem with it, there was never a moment where Nanase is some sex repulsed prude who turns down Yuni repeatedly, the question isn’t even brought up in the first place, does Nanase even know sex is on the table here? Have they done this before previously?
