I think you can easily take this story seriously and enjoy it, it's a complex moral drama about characters in a complicated situation, presented with extremely good art and excellent writing. I'm glad the author is writing this for an audience of adults who know the characters are here to be actors in a story instead of being our self inserts, our role models, or being there to be judged or condemned by us in the audience. Even if it makes certain childish readers unhappy.

Excuse me but I would like to have some plum kelp popcorn. I can take or leave the dramatic youngsters tragically kissing in the back of the theater; plum kelp popcorn sounds amazing. My mouth is literally watering right now.

While I can appreciate Fuuko’s growth I will always despise Yuni because she can’t just sack up and break up with Nanase, I’ll pretty much just always hate this character lol

Honestly same, but now, especially after rereading chapter 17, I don’t like Nanase. I’m not crazy to the point of hating her for havin her priorities straight (career > partner— especially when they’re High schoolers, it’s not gonna last) I’m just annoyed with the fact that she’s a total loser pushover who lacks respect for herself.

Literally break up.

I REALLY wanna see a Nanase POV (and how Yuni and Nanase even started dating, idk if it was alr stated but I wanna see what Nanase even likes about Yuri and vice versa, cuz it feels like they’re strangers who wound up dating for no reason.

I cannot fathom WHY Nanase wants to stay with Yuni, when I bet if she were tested, she wouldn’t be able to answer any personal questions relating to Yuni (and Yuri wouldn’t be able to do the same for her)

Between this and The Desperate March of Love, I know for sure that I hate the push over type of character, although, I’m chill with it in the other story cuz the MC at least admits to not caring about whether or not her partner cheats on her, so while it is stupid, I don’t feel morally obligated to GAF cuz she basically consented to being cheated on and is willingly putting herself in a toxic situation, while here, Nanase is trying to get better and Yuni actively chooses another girl over her, so I feel hella bad for her while also being annoyed by her stupidity.

I really hope Nanase never gets to the point where she chooses Yuni over her club cuz it’s not gonna end well for her.

The only good endings for this are Yuni and Nanase split, letting Fuuko and Yuni date or be “mother and daughter”, or the twist is that Nanase ends up being a cuck or developing a cuck-ing (? Cuckhold?) kink and is okay with Yuni’s cheating

I’m gonna be flabbergasted if the “cheating on unsuspecting girlfriend” dynamic stays by the end of the story.

I mean… this manga is portrayed seriously… so why wouldn’t people take it seriously? If this manga was over the top and wacky a majority’s of the time, then yeah, we def shouldn’t be taking it seriously, but it’s not like that.

If memory serves, it's because Yuni complimented Nanase's haircut. Lol...yeah...so pretty much no reason.

There's taking it seriously as a piece of work and there's taking it personally, which is what those people seem to do every chapter. Those aren't the same thing. You can "take it seriously" while also having fun with it.

In all of the afterword messages from the author, it definitely reads like they're having fun with it though. It's a fun drama where things are dramatic.

Drama makes people feel strong emotions. I think it's fair to hate on the characters that have been made intentionally iffy, but it's worthwhile to differentiate hate towards characters' actions and hate towards the manga itself.

For real, it seems interesting. I'm guessing the plum is umeboshi, so it's basically like pickle flavor potato chips, right?

During the first dozen chapters, I was SUPER invested in this manga. I would debate character motivations in these comments quite a lot and agonize over unclear stuff. The manga was more like a train wreck I couldn't look away from.

These days, I read the chapter, have a good laugh over whatever crazy shit the author is pulling this time, and then move on with a smile on my face.

Something definitely changed along the way, at least for me.

This tbh.

I enjoy this manga because it's really well crafted. The scenes of Yuni leading Fuuko by the hand (noticed it's a reversal compared to Osaka?), them holding hand over the popcorn after making furtive eye contact and then kissing, how Yuni is constantly blushing and feels so guilty, but just can't control her feelings, how Fuuko suddenly becomes so meek and vulnerable, how they both look so happy with their little interaction over popcorn flavor and drinks...

The author put a lot of thoughts into the meaning of each scenes, the movements, the eyes, the situations.

But here are people discussing how cheating is bad and Yuni deserves to be punished.

Pearls to swines I say.

I absolutely adore those kinds of details. The TV drama adaptation of the josei cooking yuri "She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat" is excellent for this, the actor for main character who cooks puts so much effort into communicating the character's inner thoughts with her expressions, you can track her going on a whole mental journey sometimes without a word being spoken and it's very entertaining and satisfying to watch. She's basically my new favorite actress after watching Season 2 especially.
