Now that they both know their feelings for each other and we know how long each has pined for the other, what obstacle prevents them from getting together? The mother is no longer much of an issue; and honestly, if Emma is having all these feelings while taking these actions, she should end her marriage regardless of the outcomes here. Will Hario fight this or will we just sort of avoid being direct with each other again? Will Takara bow out because Hario loves his wife, even if the wife just admitted she has always loved her?

I know there is a volume after this one, and maybe another after, so I'm interested in if things stall and what would be the reason. My only problem with the series lately has been the feeling it's been stuck in this ruminative state for quite some time and has become a bit repetitive as a result, without compelling reasons. I'm not as excited by the chapters of wonderings and pining anymore. I want them to get together, so we can deal with what comes next; feels like there's a lot of new story there. Still enjoy the series. I just feel this "they can't get together until the end" thing nagging at me and explaining some of the pacing issues I've been having. I hope whatever happens feels natural.

I cannot recall when was the last time a manga I read has an aaaangst level that high after 25 chapters. Solving the triangle issue may not be that easy like other similar yuri with het theme in it.

"you have a husband, that didn't stop you"

Lmao her friend is a real one for that, exactly what I was thinking.

Her friend was spitting straight facts, like girl, be for real.

Seriously, not only had her latest boyfriend already broken up with her (and there was no follow-up to the "threatened" hookup), she also admitted that she had been in love with Ema in middle school!
But I'm glad they got this out of the way now.

I don't know about that. Hario is not a villain, but by his own admission the marriage was based on Ema being someone who needed saving and couldn't stand up for herself. I don't think he would be surprised to learn that Ema only cared for him in the platonic sense this whole time, if he hasn't already figured it out (maybe he's already said as much and I forgot). He also doesn't strike me as a guy who would guilt trip Ema to stay with him after he finds out the truth about her and Takara.

I think the creator dragged her feet a little with the mutual declaration of love because it resolves most of the main conflict. Unless the ladies start an affair behind Hario's back or a new love rival enters the stage, the story should start wrapping up from here.
