Wow, nanase really is the only sane person here

Well...maybe until the most recent chapter. Bit of an issue with anger.

This manga reminds me so much of "with that forbidden girl in that forbidden place" and both of them are among my top favorite Yuri mangas. Guess Im a sucker for the troubled girl finding "true" love.

Anyway, it's sad to see cheating happening but the unfortunate reality is that Nanase is too conscious and healthy minded for the relationship Yuni needs, and I think subconsciously Nanase recognizes that as well, that is why she's hesitant in making her intentions clear.

Finding a lover like Yuni is one in a million as they are more intense and lovable that most people, but that same intensity can and will suffocate those who are not prepared people. Their love is like an endless wave of hearts and kisses. They will follow you to the ends of the earth and defend you with zero hesitation. There is no one else who will dedicate their to you as much. The hell though starts the moment they even think you are cheating or have after thoughts. Yuni already questions Nanase's loyalty, she's just sticking around because she's put Nanase on a pedestal and wrapped her in gold. It's only now that Yuni is wondering whether or not Nana's deserves that gold.

And while Nanase is possible the only redeemable person, she isn't making it clear to Yuni that she prioritizes her as a girlfriend. There is a lot of hesitation in her actions. She also doesn't have a clear view of what Yuni really wants in a lover due to little to no communication (again this is because she has a life outside of just thinking about Yuni). This is only hurting Yuni more and causing Yuni to think dramatically in a negative way

This isn't to say Nanase is a bad person. She will be a wonderful girlfriend for someone who doesnt live in fear of abandonment like Yuni does.

All my personal opinion though.

Poor Yuki's getting slammed around by everyone

How the hell do you even recall this lol

Edit: what chapter even is this, I'm reading the first uploading that's only gotten to chapter 14 so if that's from further apart, then I haven't seen it

It's in the latest chapter 27. The scanlator is redoing properly the chapters that were MTL'd on mangadex and fills them in here.

There's only chapter 15 missing here as of now.

Yuki actually is the only sane person in this manga. I’m cheering for Yuki now, the other three girls don’t matter, as long as Yuki is happy, I’m happy

I predict Yuki will eventually get her oh-so-desired future full of domestic abuse bliss with Nanase.

Honestly looking back at chapter 14 Yuni is basically in the right here? Yuki accuses her of not taking Nanase seriously and tries to force her to break up, but isn't it Nanase who is unserious about their relationship, especially before she knows about Fuuko and gets competitive. Forcing Yuni to act like strangers in public when Yuni doesn't want to so that Nanase can deny their relationship, only for her to just tell somebody without asking Yuni or even telling her about it? She had to learn about it from some nosy bitch with obvious ulterior motives getting up in her business instead? I know people consider Yuni and Fuuko to be the more serious violation due to the sex involved but what Nanase did is still a huge betrayal of trust and particularly feels nasty that she's the one who insisted on the rule of secrecy that she went and broke behind Yuni's back. Yuni being furious is definitely not her being "less sane" it's a completely understandable rational response.
Nanase's behavior implicitly frames herself as the boss of their relationship, the person in charge who gets to make the decisions and judges what's okay and what isn't, while Yuni's expected to just sit there and listen to her. As far as I'm concerned for anyone who acts like that in a relationship, if they get cheated on they had it coming.

Well spoken I couldn't agree more.

Yeah, looking back at chapter 14, everything stemmed from the fact Nanase was adamant their relationship shouldn't be made public. So, when Fuuko discovered who the girlfriend was, Yuni found herself wanting to fulfill that wish at all costs, even going as far as cheating so that Nanase wouldn't be outed.

Afterwards, things get messier, but at this point in the story, Yuni's action still have a reasonable explanation (not justification) and it's Nanase that rendered all her actions meaningless.

And while Nanase is possible the only redeemable person, she isn't making it clear to Yuni that she prioritizes her as a girlfriend. There is a lot of hesitation in her actions. She also doesn't have a clear view of what Yuni really wants in a lover due to little to no communication (again this is because she has a life outside of just thinking about Yuni). This is only hurting Yuni more and causing Yuni to think dramatically in a negative way

This isn't to say Nanase is a bad person. She will be a wonderful girlfriend for someone who doesnt live in fear of abandonment like Yuni does.

All my personal opinion though.

Yeah, while Nanase has done the least "wrong" so far in the story compared to Fuuko and Yuni, she was never a very good girlfriend to Yuni, or for Yuni, really. Volleyball is still her #1, and Yuni is her #2, or #3 even, which is what was causing all of their relationship problems to begin with. Like, even when Fuuko was actively cucking her right in front of her face she still wasn't even willing to say Yuni was more important than her club. Nanase quite literally just doesn't have enough room in her life to give Yuni the amount of attention she needs.

Although now I think we're starting to see her more toxic traits come out. I feel like she sees her relationship with Yuni as something that she has to 'win' or 'succeed' at. And she is shaping up to be a very sore loser who doesn't know when it's time to let go.

I wouldn't say that Nanase has done the least wrong. I think she does have a bit of a mean streak, especially after their relationship becomes more open following Yuni's initial denial of Fuuko. You see it first when she bruises Yuni's wrist pulling her out of the rain, there's little you can do to convince me after the latest chapter that the she didn't do that on purpose. To what end though, I wonder? It's not entirely misguided, given that Yuni cheated on her. We see it boiling over now but she's seething inside. Yet she didn't take the opportunity to take it out on Fuuko despite Fuuko's insistence.

Is it because striking Fuuko would make her look bad? Taking out her frustrations so directly in front of the girl who claims to love her? So instead of taking it out openly on the seducer, she stages these accidental injuries, both so far conveniently when Yuni's mind is on Fuuko and she's paying less attention.

And Fuuko caught on after the track stunt, but it will hardly be the end of it, will it? If Yuni's eyes aren't on Nanase, she'll be sure to pay for it it seems.

Nanase's definitely going down a dark path and the only thing that can save her at this point is a break up with Yuni. This is a goal both Yuki and Fuuko are actively pushing for, but Fuuko's much less annoying about it, so that's why she's the best :P

I'm done with the backfill.

The whole series is now up-to-date on Dynasty.

Yuki's little hair ornament kind of looks like a devil horn

Hahah I had the same thought.

No more horn, though: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_girlfriends_not_here_today_ch27#29

I’m glad I’m finally able to catch up! I read a bit of Chapter 16 by accident a long time ago, so I knew about the whole finding out thing, but I’ve been waiting to see how that happened since then. I don’t want to sound ungrateful though. I didn’t want to deal with MTL bullshit, so thank you to the scanlators for translating this. I just checked MangaDex now, and it’s great you were able to make the MTL folks apparently stop translating this. Thank you for the great translation (I think the scanlators are here, but I’d feel a bit silly if they’re not)!

I’m sure people have said what I’m gonna say over and over again by this point, so I wanted to start by asking if anyone knows where the PV that’s mentioned in Chapter 25.5 is. If not, it’s all good. Also, MangaDex says this is award-winning and I had no idea. I’m surprised, but it’s well-deserved since this is actually very well-written. What did it win?

Anyway, I was not expecting them to actually get back together, and I was definitely not expecting Fuuko’s mama thing. I didn’t like Fuuko much before although I guess I kind of felt bad for her cause she was sad over her crush… but now, I really feel bad for her. And yeah, I thought Yuni was very selfish but her behavior was kinda justified since Nanase was a bad girlfriend that was neglecting her. Now, she’s taking Fuuko’s place as the worst person in this series by far.

In my opinion, Fuuko’s still the 2nd worst even though she’s pretty pitiful, Nanase’s the 3rd worst, and Yuki’s just amazing. I feel bad for her now that both Yuni and her best friend are mistreating her, but it seems the author’s hinting that she’ll be with Nanase in the end. That’s definitely the ideal situation, and then I guess Yuni and Fuuko are more fitting for each other and will probably be happier as a couple than Yuni and Nanase would be.

Re-reading this is like a slap to the face with how Nanase treats her relationship with Yuki.

Nanase's eating a whole 8 inch hoagie, Yuki's drinking a whole quart of milk, and Fuuko has an endless box of cherries that seems to actually grow more cherries as she eats rather than empty. These girls sure have interesting lunches.

Thank you for your work on this.

Ok, so for the first several cherry panels the cherries are just copypasted, so they never increase or decrease even as the stems/seeds increase. But then they're shown from too far away to copypaste, and there's suddenly a lot more of them. Scary stuff!
