Oh snap, is she gonna put 2 and 2 together?!

Yeah, most likely. Same name and she knows her stepsister is also a prude.

I'm glad that this was revealed relatively quickly. We can't ascend to new heights of toxic fetish without it

Back when Komugi was thinking about how Meguru wanted her to touch her more gently I thought it might be a cope delusion that all she had to do was treat Meguru right and everything would be okay but it's interesting to see that it actually kinda lines up with what Meguru wants.

Considering Shio's previous works being very nonsexual, this is a really amazing (if toxically mixed up and crazy) way of exploring how sexual/romantic desire manifests and affects different people. How Meguru's view of sex is warped by her exposure as a child, how Yakou's desires are object-focused but she's the most open to touching/being touched, how Komuki doesn't truly seem to know how to manifest her feelings.

Really can't wait to see where this goes now that Yakou can connect the dots.

Finally, in all its weirdness and creepiness, this one is starting to make sense

This is so wonderfully unlike Usui Shio’s other works. It feels like I’m watching a train wreck unfold but the author’s history of concluding stories with happy endings make me think otherwise.

With the color pages (cover?) in this release, I feel like Usui Shio has intentionally modified her art style to suit her current set of works and it isn't just her being rushed (although it's that too, two releases a month instead of 1.5 is a lot)

Siiick. I was waiting for Yakou to recognize Meguru's name. Azuki says "hands off my Meguru!" in ch.1 when she's hiding in the closet but Yakou doesn't seem to clock it yet that it is her sister's name. The speed of these events unfolding can either mean we are halfway through to a short end, or there is a looot more juicy repressed trauma to dredge. Either way, consider me buckled.

Cover of Our "Love" is Disgusting: On a stylised background, the two main characters are holding hands, while the blonde girl holds a puppet her… collaborator made, as well as a puppet's leg in her mouth, while the other is holding a tissue, covered in blood, like her hand and nose

which explains the colour pages.

I would really like to see some kind of interview about what the author thinks about Yuri or sex in the medium, based on what we have here in dynasty, sex never seems to be about connection and more about posession, like giving yourself to another person taking some sort of freedom away.

I know some people who think Yuri has to be pure, like the infamous editor of Ebisu & Hotei, so I'm curious to know the author's vision too.

Now that I actually look at it, it's a bit different, maybe the bow just reminded me of it, but on the avatar it acts more as a bowtie :P No longer sure it's even a reference

well is not like her sister is the only meguru in town, like i get that i´d be weird to hear your sister s name while being hugged half naked but assuming that her sister is your co-worker s ex based on just that would be reaching a bit too much

To be fair we don't know her reasoning yet, could've put 2 and 2 together given meguru's age/vocally stated opinions on intimacy/approximate body type. might not even truly suspect anything but is finds the homonymity noteworthy or worth investigating. her immediate reaction's subdued enough that it could be any level of "huh!" plausibly. (Though i hope they do confirm it sooner than later, though i guess finding it out from all 3 running into each other at once could be juicy enough in its own right dramas-wise...)
I'm internally battling over whether to leave a pithy comment about this love triangle being Soooo Weird (which, like, it is, it isn't a triangle even setting aside the layers of simulacrum going on, and it isn't even "love" for all hypotenuses, etc.) or to leave something deeper than I'm really prepared to abt how this is really managing to capture shame surrounding sexuality (and the different causes OF this shame and what this shame in itself causes, tip-toeing around invoking homophobia directly though, people in the audience for this sorta yuri drama probably don't need that re-iterated :p) while still being pretty contrived from a, like, causal perspective. Thankfully the characters & motives are strong enough that the "coworker just so happens to be new step-sister's ex girlfriend & just so happens to have a fetish complimenting ones own" thing is still suspendable disbelief-wise.

so let me get this straight (lmao).
Meguru asked her girlfriend, who was clearly into her, for sex - Then got upset when she said yes, failing her hidden 'test'.
Girl has issues, but intentionally triggering a trauma as a 'test' isn't healthy or fair because it causes exactly the kind of secondary trauma Azuki now has. God damn.
In a perfect world, Meguru would just communicate "I have sexual trauma and am not comfortable with sex", but teenagers gonna teenager (Although I've seen worse communication from working adults so lmao I guess).

While correct in your analysis, I think Meguru was just trying to process her father's infidelity. She wanted Azuki to save and reassure her, someone who wouldn't betray her expectations; this obviously backfired, but I think it's good to see that it was just her lashing out because of the trauma.

Anyway, the only one I'm actually worried about is Niji, that girl is clearly dangerous, just imagine what would happen if she witnessed this scene.
