(Just finished volume 4)
in mermaid man voice EVIIIIIL

Volumes 7 is about to come out in the US. Looks like I need to buy the volumes to see what happens in the story lol

Volume 6 (chapters 46-54) just came out in English. From reading that and keeping up with the raws (up to chapter 83 now), it seems like the relationship drama cools down quite a bit after chapter 50, though I have a feeling more is coming soon (in the raws, I mean). Awesome that a series like this is still going at this point.

VOLUME 7 IS OUT!!!!

(despite my excitement this series keeps making me cry)

Yay for this messy but heartwarming story.

Fuck volume 7 was so good

I genuinely don't know whether i want them to go back together or go seprerate ways now

It's very nice to see that the series is getting simulpublished now and soon will see it's 100th chapter translated.

It's a bit awkward going back to the dynasty page for this. We were like legit 3 chapters away from the breakup, the reaction to that would have been lovely to see.

Also the post commentary bit from Volume 8 was super cute.

The relationship between Miwa and Tamaki's not gonna work out, imo. They're simply incompatible. Miwa's trying to make a compromise to make it work but she's basically denying an important part of who she is. That's not a healthy relationship.

Ok for those still reading the story, how's it going so far? Do you guys think the developments are good and worth me getting back into it or should I wait some more? (I don't mind spoilers)

I gave this up back in 2021 because it made me too depressed and I just can't read it again, especially since it's not uploading anymore

Anybody else vibrating intensely waiting for the next volume to come out

Wooooo, volume 10 is finally out. Now that there's no more gap between the volumes and the simulpub chapters it's time for a complete reread that will once again plunge me into uncomfortably-close-to-home-hitting realizations of myself

I love this series, we get so many relationship dynamics that you basically never see in normal romance, because they're dynamics that indicate the couple isn't right for each other. And I love how the author approaches this not as dramatic conflict but rather two people with valid feelings that we fully explore on all sides. The thing with Miwa and Tamaki was especially so well done, I felt so bad for Miwa for so long but finally hopefully things will be looking up for her. And hopefully Tamaki can find a new relationship to sex that's better for her because her current one has some problems, like how she was willing to do it without wanting to as a favor to her partner rather than equally enjoying it. I'd imagine most likely though instead of addressing that she will just find another birthdays and Christmases kind of lover so the topic just doesn't come up with in their lives to make a significant difference.

So just wondering if these two ever end up together again? Haven’t really caught up since the breakup kinda shook me a bit

Then, this isn't a bad time to catch back up. They're not together again but they recently both broke up with their other relationships and are potentially considering getting back together. Last few chapters have been pretty much entirely about them feeling each other out to see where they stand now. They've been best friends the entire series though, even after the breakup.

It's such a genuinely good series and I feel the retitled "how do we relationship" matches it perfectly. It's not just talking about romance, it's how do we navigate family, friends, society and, broadly, expectations. I think I can trust the author to take these characters wherever they need to go and I'll be satisfied regardless of their relationship statuses.

man i would have loved to see this site's reaction in real time to the end of volume 4 lmao i remember reading all the comments here when new chapters dropped here

Literally BEGGING for them just to talk shit out

You’re gonna risk getting hurt either way, but at least when you talk things out, you won’t have to worry or feel guilty about keeping secrets
