I've thought to myself before, with how pure and clean focused some people are with lesbian media I think maybe the only series and relationship people might not take issue with is Green Yuri. Since Green Yuri is very safe in it's relationship and it's vanilla in a good way, I can't possibly see anyone taking issue with the series or the relationship.

Nope I guess I was wrong, somehow Mitsuki gently confirming with her girlfriend if they're actually dating or not, because she wasn't 100% sure and was a little nervous about Aya talking to someone showing interest in her, this is a red flag and the start of Mitsuki's dark path to becoming a toxic girlfriend. I...don't even know anymore...I give up lol

Same. It's a bit surprising. Red flag get thrown around way too much. It reminds me of when everyone was calling everything a "logical fallacy." A lot of misuse/overuse. This was cute and harmless. Checking up on your girlfriend and making things clear in a roundabout way isn't an issue.

Yeah, to me this was good communication. Mitsuki wasn't mean or anything, she communicated to make sure that her and Aya are on the same page, which is very normal in my opinion. People shouldn't be afraid to communicate and ask questions, especially when they're in a relationship.

I especially like how Mitsuki seemed unaware of what she was doing. I interpreted as:

Mitsuki: Oh no my girlfriend is being flirted with. Wait, is she my girlfriend? I should check.

checks while basically ignoring Ono

Aya: Oh wow that was kind of hot.

Mitsuki: unaware

Oh, no...poor guy. He didn't stand a chance.

Also, apparently, Nakajima has been tamed. And he'll stay like that if he knows what's good for him. Or if he actually figures himself out.

It will never not amuse me how oblivious Mitsuki is to own rizz levels.

rrrrrrrrrrrr neeeoooow ratatatatatata.
[over the radio] "Oh god! I'm hit! My plane in on fire! I can't control it! I'm going down! I repeat I'm going down"!
KABOOM!!!

People really do find the weirdest things to get huffy about lol

like yall, this is such normal irl lesbian relationship behavior lol

Also the whole "back off, she's mine" moment is kind of a romance cliche that often isn't intended to say anything negative about the character

Even then it wasn't that, imo. It was a comment with the intent to subdue the expectations of the conversation, since the reaction from the guy at least suggests there was an additional motive behind his discussion. If Oosawa isn't the sort to pick up on stuff like that, I'd imagine it can be a little concerning.

I'm probably going to get hated for this, but...

As much as I appreciate Mitsuki's character growth to becoming assertive and confident (and as much as Aya clearly appreciated that little move as well), Mitsuki is still showing facets of jealousy, control, and lack of trust. In real life, these things are huge red flags.

If someone had come up to Mitsuki and asked her about Western music, she would have gone into full "geek mode" and chatted them up non-stop; if said person had done that under the pretense of flirting with her, Mitsuki would not have noticed; she would have been ass-deep in gushing about Eric Clapton and George Harrison 0.38 seconds upon hearing the song playing on his phone. So, for her assume Aya couldn't deal with this shows a rather meaningful lack of trust, and maybe even a bit of projection.

And, considering the meaning of the song... Patti Boyd made her choice, and George Harrison respected it. Mitsuki would know that.

So yeah... I love this comic, I've loved it since the moment I first laid eyes on it, but I can't say I like this particular entry, and I hope it isn't the start of a dark path for Mitsuki.

Not sure I agree with that. If you ask me, rather than Mistuki not trusting Aya, it read more like "is he really trying to hit on her? Oh right, that reminds me, we haven't actually addressed if we were dating or not. Might as well ask." And then she did just that and asked at that moment because what teenager has never had any impulsive acts.

If you notice, not once did Mitsuki tell Aya or the other guy not to talk. All she did was ask and left them to it thinking she could get back to her conversation with the former bully. She probably wasn't even thinking (at least not fully) about how that question would affect the other guy and Aya's music discussion.

ya i really did take that as her angling for genuine confirmation for herself first and foremost. i feel like if she was trying to tell the guy to fuck off or it was supposed to represent her being genuinely jealous or lacking in trust of aya the situation would have gone differently.

THANK GOD
THEY SAID THEY ARE DATING!
IS NOT A SITUATIONSHIP

Lol dude got rekt holy fuck.

Feel bad for him, really. He didn't know the situation, after all.

But DAMN. Lol.

I mean, I'm not gonna hate you for it, but I do disagree.

Most of Mitsuki's big rizz moments happen because she is unaware of what she's doing. With that being the pattern, it's possible, in fact I'd say probable, that in that moment she went, "Oh, wait, we never actually said we were dating, did we? I better make sure we're on the same page." "Hey, are we?" (Cue Aya's bewildered response) "Okay, cool, awesome, I thought so, that's so great." (blissfully unaware that she just stunted on Ono and announced them to the rest of the class.)

I mean, tell me that's not 100% her modus operandi throughout this entire series.

For me, the problem with all the "red flag" talk I see these days is it kind of ends up holding people to an impossible standard. You have to be perfect, up on a pedestal. Show any signs of feet of clay, bam! You're toxic, full of "red flags". I've been married for nearly 30 years, and neither my wife nor I are perfect in all respects. And sure, we work on getting things right, but also you gotta have some flexibility, you gotta look at things with some benevolence and understanding, let some stuff go.

Man, people like to read way too much into things...

Yeah being human is messy and relationships are complicated. There will always be ups and downs for each person in a relationship, and a relationship is partly about navigating the bumps in the road both on an individual level and as a couple.

I wouldn't call it a red flag, just both a cheeky reminder and telling the guy to back off without being too mean about it. It wasn't "hey, back off my property bark bark" or whatever, just a casual "hey love, we're dating, right? Right? Thought so, thanks bb" then Mitsuki left. Was charming if anything
Edit: not to mention, also serves as confirmation that they are, in fact, a couple, for people too dense and/or pessimistic to not believe anything the work says unless it's specifically said in speech bubbles by at least one character.

Yup, THIS. The fact that Mitsuki was so casually "let me confirm that we're dating, and I don't care who overhears it" is so AWESOME. No jealousy, no embarrassment, no shame. Just wholesome and charismatic communication lol

I feel like there is a contradiction between the awkwardness of Mitsuki's jealous interjection and the way it immediately gets turned into an epic aura farming moment for her. Like the "lol they're dumb teenagers stop whining" retort to the "red flag" concerns (which I don't agree with either, to be clear) doesn't make sense to me because the text itself seems to think this was the coolest shit ever. Mitsuki being awkwardly jealous is a cute concept on its face, and of course I understand the potential appeal of a "back off she's mine" moment. The weird part is that this interaction transpires in front of a crowd that reacts with an over-the-top amazement that has become predictable.

This could be partially an effect of the 4-page curse. Maybe there was a time when the series had room for some nuance and a range in emotional intensity, but for a while every chapter has felt the same amount of intense whether it was angsty, happy, or epic. Which might be because the creator feels a pressure to keep the audience stimulated with every chapter. Ironically, the lack of proper highs and lows (in intensity, not mood) makes the end result less stimulating, at least for me.

That's fair, though for me the series is still effective and working well. So I think it's a mileage will vary situation lol

I did not say it was not a matter of taste. I like to think I don't need to couch everything I say into a dozen different caveats and disclaimers, just so nobody assumes that I consider my opinions divinely ordained.

But then reading back, apparently I did soften my comment with several instances of "as for me", so maybe there is no number that would be enough.

I'm only saying that my opinion differs from yours on the series, and I was trying to word things in a non-confrontational way. You have issues with the series that I don't have, so I'm saying our mileage is varying differently, and I know you stated views in a way that was acknowledging they're your opinions. I don't want to argue with you and I only wanted to share that I respect that you have different views from my mine, and that personally I'm still loving the series myself.

Best chapter in the whole series. Best chapter! ♥

What a smooth dork, Mitsuki is! Maybe now that we have confirmation we'll never hear another peep about whether this is actually yuri. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

I notice she's still wearing pants to school, too. Also the black nail polish and all the piercings, now that I check again.

He's dumb, she's a lesbian.

Koga just destroyed the minds of every single one of her classmates XD The teacher's gonna come back for afternoon classes and will find them all braindead XD
