Yuni is just a pushover and Fuuko, the Caterpillar Fungus, is progressively taking control of her life.

I’m not on the “Fuuko has done nothing wrong” train like some others are, but I think this take detracts from Yuni’s own behavior. You can explain her going along with Fuuko as her being a pushover, but her refusal to take any responsibility or to stop blaming everyone but herself is her own flaw, and the source of the conflict for the whole series. Fuuko might be taking advantage of the situation, but Yuni is in this mess by her own fault.

So, where can I go and read the missing chapters?

I'm definitely on the "Fuuko did nothing wrong" train lol. She has simply acted rationally in her own interest and has not violated any agreement or relationship she had with someone else. Yuni's cheating but Fuuko isn't.

i guess home wrecking isnt a violation anymore?

Sure, she did not. Manipulation, black mailing, temptation... Pure as an angel.

She is my favorite character, but saying she did nothing wrong is pushing thing too far. If she did, she wouldn't even be an interesting character. For me, actively pursuing someone that is already in a relationship is also reprehensible as well. Presenting the option to the other party is one thing, but pushing for it is reprehensible in my book (not as much as cheating, of course). She is like an incarnation of temptation, it doesn't excuse Yuni's actions, but it doesn't make it less reprehensible as well.

It's never been a valid "violation" as far as I'm concerned, it's mostly an idea in real life used to blame women for men cheating on their wives, an excuse to let those guys off the hook to some degree by diluting or redirecting the blame for violating the trust of his partner. Same with "temptation". Fuuko's a better partner for Yuni than Nanase is and as far as I'm concerned there's zero moral problems with making that pitch. The moral fault is exclusively Yuni not dumping Nanase (or negotiating them being open) like she should have in the first chapter of the manga. Of course, if she did that the story wouldn't be as interesting :P

Fuuko with her momykink is going off the rails. This is becoming unwillingly funny.

Though little Fuuko was so cute, they really messed her up.

I wanna hop on this train, it takes two to tango and to cheat and to make a manga like this so awfully entertaining.

Either Nanase really is the dumbest human alive (which tracks with what we’ve seen so far) or she doesn’t even care if Yuni is cheating anymore. They both have that strained reaction when Fuuko is told to take her to the infirmary, and yet when she grabs Yuni’s hand Nanase doesn’t make any kind of move. “Okay girl who I know is trying to steal my girlfriend from me you two go be alone for a while I’ve gotta focus on spoooooorts!”

From a different perspective, she's giving Yuni agency.

It would be pretty funny if the Author was setting up a polycule what with the other girl confronting Yuni this latest chapter

If we go the polycule route I'll eat my shoe...and all the rest of my clothes. Fuuko and Nanase hate each other and so do Yuni and Yuki. Also seems like Nanase hates the idea of sharing.

We probably have as much a chance at poly as we do any of the characters ending up with a guy...which is basically zero.

Edit: Also when you say "latest chapter" are you talking about chapter 13 that was just posted? That's not the latest chapter but one of the ones that Kirin didn't previously translate.

If we get a polycule there's no way Yuki is involved with anybody in it except Nanase as a kind of offshoot relationship, and probably none of them with how moralizing and "normal" she is. I can see the possibility of something like Fuuko and Nanase sharing and possibly double teaming Yuni though, given the author has drawn the three of them all tangled together sexily multiple times.

Oh my God yes! Such delicious drama!

But the last scene with an angry Nanase has be a tiny bit worried. I love all this drama and toxicity but I don't want to see violence. Doesn't feel like that kind of manga though.

Fuuko is sly among other things but her words do have merit pointing out both Yuni & Nanase flaws (which they both choose to ignore) & as for short haired friend (forgot her name) needs to mind her own business so she kind of got what she deserved at that end.

And she said a mama "punishes" naughty girls...so when will we get a chapter showing Mama Fuuko "punishing" her?

Things will be even more interesting. If she was using a fine nail before, she's about to take out the hammer now. The way she goaded Nanase and the discussion about actively leading Yuni. "Mommy" makes sense. I enjoy how the author has made this drama "fun," especially since we can feel how much she enjoys writing it based on her afterwards.

Oh damn, I really didn't see that final moment coming. Nanase's going dark now, huh? I'm wondering now how much that huge bruise on Yuni's leg was actually accidental, after seeing her throw her friend into the wall hard enough to knock her hairpin loose. Yuni was stopped wide out in the open when Nanase ran into her and there's no good excuse for why she did, except that Yuni in that moment was very obviously staring at Fuuko. I'd previously thought that Nanase wasn't bad, just a bad girlfriend for Yuni specifically. Now I'm not so sure.

Edit: double checked last chapter, Yuni wasn't even standing out of place when Nanase hit her. She was exactly where she was supposed to be, and Nanase should have been running in a different lane, since judging by the hair of the girl who told Yuni to get ready, Yuni and Nanase are on different teams. there's no reasonable way for Yuni looking at Fuuko to lead to a collision. I think it's actually possible Nanase kneed Yuni's leg on purpose in anger over seeing her checking out Fuuko, possibly not expecting the result to be so bad, since she seems genuinely surprised/worried in the immediate aftermath.

That's interesting, especially since Fuuko drew attention to how unlikely that crash was this chapter and Nanase didn't have much of a comeback except to stare her down.
