I'm amazed this series reached a happy ending
My only problem is that it was so short, they wrapped things up and mended their relationship in the span of a few pages, which is probably unavoidable because it got axed or something.

Why are people insisting it was axed? Do you have reading comprehension problems?

It's been repeated here several times that IT'S A STANDALONE VOLUME that was published as is.

So no, there was no ax, the author told the story they wanted to, in the constraints of one volume. That's all.

Thank you for clarifying then. So yeah, axed or not, I don't like this ending and pacing led to it in one last chapter after all.

Hmmm . . . When some cheating jerky guy says "Really, it won't happen any more! I've changed, babe!" we tend not to buy it. I stopped reading this a couple of chapters in, thought I'd wait for the end and check the comments for how it went and . . . I have a feeling I will not buy this ending if I read it, so I'm gonna skip it.

You know, this is an irrelevant question, but did Rei have any other friends other than Ami and her friends? I’d assume she left the group if she was ignoring Ami for 3 months, so she was just completely isolated? I don’t completely remember the whole story though, so I’m sure she must’ve at least talked to some other people.

Ah, such a beautiful ending. ^_^

Thinking about it, Ami here reminds me a bit of Saori in My Daughter's Girlfriend, actually...

I think if we saw some of those 3 months where Ami was being ignored and getting the cold shoulder from Rei it would make this a bit more satisfying. Since we're just told it happened, we don't get the uh... "Satisfaction" of seeing that kind of "justice"(?) happen to her. But we're just told that it happened due to time (space?) limit and it can feel unsatisfying in that regard.

But I think it's told its story well. Ami has few moments when she starts realizing things and she has real issues expressing herself which outside of her "shitty" behavior is the other issue that leads to that breakup moment at the amusement park. Again, if we saw more of those 3 months it would be way better.

I hate to call the story "rushed" since it seems to have been planned as a single-volume story from the start, but an extra chapter or two for the 3-month and 10-year timeskips would have gone a long way. Probably not enough to justify an entire second volume though, which is why I figure the author had to end it the way it did.

That was possibly the most rushed ending I’ve ever seen, very much not satisfying.

Also fuck that teacher, gross ass should be in jail not playing coy and teasing about her relationship with a minor. Bleh to this whole story

It seems she did drop out. Rei says she can't solve Ami's current family situation but urges Ami to wait for her. The idea seems to be that they remained together and in contact--possibly long distance for a bit--until eventually they could be make their own decisions as independent adults. That alone could be a series but would probably extend beyond what this series wanted to focus on.

Would love to see a mini series on what happened during those 10 years or at least a chapter

Funny how people react with hate whenever a character is cheating (whatever their reason might be).

It's like they're being the ones cheated on. Talk about being insecure.

Because cheaters deserve to be hated? Ami was a POS to Rei and constantly hurt her— she wasn’t even a good girlfriend AND was cheating on Rei with multiple chicks. Rei didn’t dump her cuz she lacks spine.

How is it “insecure” to hate a character for doing something shitty?

Thankfully, Rei isn't as heartless as you lot.

I can’t tell if this is rage bait or if you’re genuinely serious.

You’re telling me that if:

1. You saw your SO kiss another person
2. Your SO continues to treat you like a friend
3. Your SO never does anything to show that they like you, nor do they tell you they like you (romantically)
4. Your SO only tells you they like you cuz of the power they have over your emotions
5. Doesn’t spend time with you outside of school unless it’s with friends and invites people when it was supposed to be just you
6. Doesn’t take your anger or frustrations seriously
7. Your SO likes how you stay with them despite how poorly you’re treated because you can’t stop loving them

You would continue dating them and loving them unconditionally? Even when there’s a chance they’ll never stop cheating and fooling around?

Genuinely, how is it “heartless” to break up with someone who doesn’t treat you right, loves seeing you suffer because it’s their fault you’re suffering?

Have you ever been a teenager
I also really have to reiterate that Rei quite literally did dump her. They only got back together once Rei realized that Ami was very deliberately taking strides to fix literally every point you outlined. And Ami was very clearly not doing it just for show. She couldn't even get the words out. Try reading the comic before analyzing the actions of the characters instead of seeing the "cheating" tag and blacking out from rage. Or maybe just block the tag.

Like take this guy. At least he has the decency to admit that he didn't read it and his analysis is completely useless.
Anyway the main difference here is that girls are better than boys.

Also also, it won't hurt you to read something where people do bad things. People fuck up all the time, and people fall in love for stupid reasons. Why would you not put that into art? I promise they're not going to jump out of the page and start cheating on you. It's okay.

Cheating happens. God forbid that people can change.

It's nice to see that they're such a cute couple as adults. The story definitely feels a bit bare bones to me? Like this was a pretty juicy dynamic but the plot rushed through every plot point so there was not enough time to really dig into it.

It's not unreasonable for someone to view cheating, and especially serial cheating, as immediate grounds to end a relationship. Relationships are built on trust, and once that trust is broken it can be difficult or impossible to repair.

But if someone finds cheating in entertainment media so triggering that they can't focus on anything else the story has to say, they should probably move onto something else instead of trying to stick with whatever story has ventured into that topic.

This story is quite good, but I still feel like I need more chapters.

I hate to call any story “rushed” because I usually have faith in authors’ abilities to tell the story they feel the most comfortable with…but unfortunately to me, this story is indeed rushed as their relationships’ solution is never set in stone.

Cute, but confusing at the end, is all I’m saying.

Some stories drag on for hundreds of chapters before dropping the bomb and for some reason this one did it so fast I can’t believe it.

Still liking it though. Unlike any yuri I’ve ever seen.

This is really fucking good. The storytelling is really tight and efficient and I love how it shifts your perspective on things over time by giving you different amounts of information. Really admirable to finish this in one volume without wasted space. It was interesting and unusual and painful while still being emotionally realistic, and the resolution made sense in the context of the information we were given. It felt like a oneshot with a one volume page count, and it required all that time to convey its ideas. Incredibly difficult to do, a very impressive piece of fiction.

Cheating happens. God forbid that people can change.

Of course that happens. No one said it never happends. It’s normal to end a relationship with someone who cheats cause they broke the other person’s trust. If you’re gonna stay with a person who cheats on you then you’re either A. In an open realationship/cheating on them also B. Are being manipulated, or C. Don’t entirely care abt the relationship

Like I feel like it’s normal to be upset or hurt or angry that your partner cheated on you :/

It seems she did drop out. Rei says she can't solve Ami's current family situation but urges Ami to wait for her.

Wdym “have you ever been a teenager” I’m pretty sure everyone has, I’m literally a teen and I would break up with someone if they did ts to me to. Like just because you or the other people around you couldn’t spot unhealthy relationships doesn’t mean other teenagers can’t too. Also like I’m pretty sure that commenter was mainly addressing how Rei wasn’t in the wrong for dumping Ami, I don’t think they were really talking about the aftermath and more of how bad the relationship was before. I could be wrong that’s how I saw it, and your comment seemed over aggressive :P

Hmmm . . . When some cheating jerky guy says "Really, it won't happen any more! I've changed, babe!" we tend not to buy it.

What…girls can cheat and boys can cheat. Girls can SA boys and Boys can SA girls. One gender isn’t better than the other first if all. Secondly AGAIN I’m pretty sure they were talking just abt the fact that Ami cheated on Rei and kinda acted like it was ‘not the biggest deal’ and used the man comparison to people who cheat aren’t always trustable again or whatever

Also also, it won't hurt you to read something where people do bad things. People fuck up all the time, and people fall in love for stupid reasons. Why would you not put that into art? I promise they're not going to jump out of the page and start cheating on you. It's okay.

This is quite the interesting response. Like I know this ended a while ago but like dude what?? I’m crying what is this response. Anyways I just think you were way to aggressive thus why I responded

so you're telling me this manga is filled with despicable people only huh

like mother like daughter, she learn to be a bitch to the people she hates cuz i do not believe she actually gives a fuck about our MC, let alone love her, because when a cheater tells you they love you they do not nor do they care! they action of cheating is the opposite of love and care, I’m always not gonna buy the garbage excuse her mother give her the right to be a bitch and play with her like a god damn fucking toy

I think some people on Dynasty should not be reading anything other than wholesome slice of life. I find tuning into a series only to be enraged about fictional teen girls kind of a weird hobby.

I also think some of you are a bit too comfortable throwing "bitch" around as an insult. I don't know if you're a guy but if you are then I'm even more suspicious of you.

the whole concept of "bitch" is pretty sexist so i agree and it also bothers me and rubs me the wrong way when i see someone using it; if it's a guy, well obvious reasons, and if it's a girl it's because this sexist world push onto them that calling a girl who cheats a "bitch" is okay, when there's no equivalent of the word for a man; a "cheater" or a "player", an "asshole" or whatever simply does not mean the same as bitch. it's the same as why "reversed racism" or racism on white people doesn't exist. that's why i said despicable people and nothing else, the whole concept of "bitch" is just not right

Ooo interesting (yes I know you said this a while ago but I wanted to comment anyways) while I partially agree I also partially disagree. Mainly with the fact that at least in my country (the US) a lot of words like “Bitch” are also used towards men. Know obviously I know what the term bitch means (it’s female dog) and yes its a sexist word in a way but like…it can still be used towards men, and if you don’t wanna say bitch you could call someone a Bastard. Same way how some people call their female friends their bros, homies, huzz, guys. Like yeah those are all terms used for men but they can also be gender neutral terms. That’s how I always saw it though. But Ami kinda was a bitch (same with the teach like she needs to go to jail)
