Hah, turns out we were right from the start! But of course there would be the classic "best friends" line keeping them apart again...

This has turned into "Our Yuri Started With Me Getting Rejected in a Dream."

Always has been. To the point that it has sometimes been hard to remember what happened in which.

Ah yes, the classic mixup. I often get these two confused as well sometimes.

[extra 3] that door does not open the right way to shut it in her face, she'd have had to shove her out of the doorway to do that lol

The moment I realized what this chapter was going to be about, I got giddy for the wrong reasons. I didn't care much about the chapter, which was okay, but I knew people would put on their snob glasses and shit all over this.

ikr? first thing i thought after reading the chapter was "oh boy the forum posts are gonna hate this lol"

The girl used to be a brick, a wall and she's actually the one who fell first ??? they're both the most oblivious person ever then? good god.

I mean, well, not saying it's bad, it's really cute and I can see why Yuzu would "brush it off" everything that Minami did because she kind of already "accepted" that they're just friends, getting that info from past information, info that actually changed but, because of the status quo of her mind, she brushed it off.
Okm I can see that. But...idk, I think there were better plot lines to use but I'm excited to see what happens next nonetheless! like what the autor gonna do with that :] /genuine

I don't know guys, I love the chapter and the plot twist. Lazy? Maybe. Corny? For sure. Do I like it? Oh yes, give me more.

I mean, I wouldn't really call it a twist and definitely not lazy when the hints have been there all along, to the point that I've gone on the record in this very thread to declare that I had zero doubt this was the case by chapter 2.

The way I see it, I could gripe about the plotting, or I could look at the picture from the extras of Yuzu putting her chin in Minami's hand like a cat, and the latter is probably better for my blood pressure.

Between Yuzu has been completely oblivious this whole time and has no concept of a romantic feeling, or, she was in love all along but refused to pursue anything because of an interaction in ELEMENTARY school... im all for the latter. At least they both actually have feelings for eachother.

I cant do another 'a third party entered and made me realise I have feelings for her despite everything else up until now already telling me that' storyline.

Those exist that often? The "both have been in love since much earlier, but something stopped progress" is much more common from what I've seen.

So more people thought the same as me, damm I hate to be right in this situation... The potencial and hope one had for this serie, and it fell into an overused MC realization moment, what a way to loose the big hook for readers... Well, at least it has the cute factor and humor, and some hope that the confesion is somewhat memorable.

I mean, the inicial plot of, as the title says, made it sound, at least in my head, that this will be like Impossible, and then we need to resort to team work and some clever and unique situation to try to reach to Yuzu in a way she gets the hints. But with the "lol she really meant back then that we HAVE to stay as friends, so let's do that if that is what Minami wants" (cheap) twist, now it's like "easy mission for Minami, but we need Yuzu to stop thinking like that and just go confess/dont ingore the hint", because if Minami is the one confessing, then good, but is less impactful as a resolution of the plot IMO.

At this point, if I (hopefully We) want this development to the confession to be more impactful and interesting, the author needs something a bit more dark and maybe depressing (since we got that "cheap/overused" dark twist about Yuzu's past) event. My idea is (It doesnt has to be exact, Im kind of oversimplyfing here): Minami goes on another date with Yuzu, but this one is a more thoughtful one so she is able to have more coraguoe to confess to Yuzu, Minami work hard for this special date, and she gets to confess ((maybe as best as she could)) but Yuzu forces her twisted "reality/TRAUMA" into the actions MInami takes to reach her heart, and again dismisses the signal of romance and plays dumb. MInami then gets fed-up and starts to cry, showing how tired is she from failing numeous times ((I feel like this fits well with her personality, since she also got emotional and twisted things a couple of times)), and Yuzu, still in her world, worries a lot for her from the sudden burst of tears of Minami. Minami runs away, Yuzu goes after her but failed to keep up with her and looses her.
Yuzu, confused and tired, wonders why this happened on the spot, and suddenly Kamiya confronts Yuzu, asking her: what is worng with you? You broke her heart by doing your thing again! explain yourself!
Yuzu goes again about how she heard from Minami when kids, " heard very loud and clear(cause trauma)", "Let's be BFF" from Minami to her. And Kamiya rages on Yuzu: And that's it?! you are constanlty living in the past, of course you will fear the posibility of ruinning the only most precious thing you have from then. BUT stop it! kids can be dumb, so your destiny is not set in stone for that, you can still change, people can change, so go fing her and tell her how you REALLY feel. Dont only think in the probabilities of failing, because while you have some probabilities of succeding, it is still worth to give your shot at big move like this... (something like that, can't think of something more epic/original)
Yuzu after some hours of looking for MInami, finds her, still crying, and Yuzu approaches her, making sure she hears her, proceeds to apologies for how she treated her and it was her fault, how I loved you so much that I tried so hard make your wish of being BFF to stay true, BUT I was the one who didn't want to grow up, I didn't want to change, I didn't want to be separated from you if something came between us. I never forgot all the things you did for me, you wanted me to be better and I just could thanks to you,Yes I love you and thanks for loving me back as you do... (details details).

If you, dear reader, have some opinions, I'm glad to read them! Have a nice day!

so how come yuzu didn't mind extreme skinship in the past and now that it's revealed that she was in love since ages ago she's so self-conscious? it's like her character has changed tremendously in only 2 chapters, no consistency at all

If you’re referring to what they did when they were little, that might just be an example of childhood innocence. If your referring to Yuzu’s actions earlier in the story, it seems like she had done a pretty good job suppressing her feelings until the cultural festival, so I would just assume that she’s becoming too conscious of it now that her feelings have welled back up. Either way, I wouldn’t call it completely inconsistent, just somewhat.

I'd say it's pretty in line with natural human inconsistency and emotions being messy

^ That, or the author is just playing a conspiracy game with us, like with Half-Life 1, where the readers are the ones who know more than the writer and let them fill in the gaps, and purposely (hopefully not and makes some pages to explain) avoids explaining so stuff keeps its hook until another major event or a major flaw or inconsistency is found, and all the entertaining cuteness falls into nothing.

It's certainly done a flip. Most importantly, we're now finally getting her thoughts and inner-monologues. That's the biggest narrative change. Gonna miss the stone-faced expressionless thing she used to have going, now that she's decided to actually react to things. Since both parties are responding and thinking, these scenes have more energy. Probably the best chapter so far because of that. So I'll take it, no matter how sharp a shift it is or how late the shift came.
