Uh oh...

I like the format with the manga being essentially a series of vignettes about various characters connected by being in the same school, reminds me a bit of Tsurezure Children. But while it does make sense for the current arc to be playing out like it does, I wouldn't mind a bit more screen time for our original lead couple. Tying the vignettes more closely together by their involvement would really be the icing on top imo.

Yeah I'd expect to see them soon as well. There's no way these kids are dealing with this in a healthy way without some adult help. Next chapter might be more fall out though.

no offense towards the guy but where’s the yuri? the 2 look cute and all but i’m not rly here for that…

yuri is in the MC being in a sexually active wlw relationship and having a female student hit on her.

Just wasn't the focus this chapter.

true but we long steered away from that topic now. last 3(?) chapters have been (mostly) about this love triangle which is cool and all but that’s too long without yuri :p
well this is likely a „let the author cook” moment

The series is always going to jump between different relationship arcs. It's like a detective story with different "cases." I don't think she's worrying about the yuri per chapter quota, moreso how to develop these characters right.

It's not that different from Love Bullet's approach honestly. So if that doesn't work for you, I'd not expect it to change too much. This was what she said the series would be from the start, adult lesbian couple dealing with various relationship issues throughout the school. The MC will likely need to help these two, so I doubt you'll go a full chapter without seeing her or her GF that often, though.

The main question I have on this subject is if there are going to be an gay male relationships. We hardly ever get them in yuri series, even the ones that include straight side characters, and if they do it's often relegated to an extremely minor or joke character.

This author seems like they would be willing to ignore such conventions if they wanted, but we haven't had any such hints yet. Not that I blame them if they're more comfortable writing relationships that involve women.

Aoi Hana reference!

Man. Nozaki acting like a bitch, but you can understand how she'd be messed up.

Tries to sabotage her "rival" in love that wanted to be her friend, the sabotage potentially ruins any relationship she could have with both people.

Nozaki...I am amazed at how you end up making the same mistake that the boy who you rejected did (spreading false rumors about her being a loose woman due to getting his feeling hurt)...but at least Nozaki didn't claim and spread the rumors to the whole school and just to her Ex-boyfriend...which is still pretty bad and stuff (But you can kind of understand if you think about her being emotional unstable due to wanting her boyfriend back.)

Honestly Ex-boyfriend and Nozaki need to have a proper conversation to 'properly' end things...Mr. ex-boyfriend was obviously feeling pressure due to Nozaki clingy nature and should have asked for some space/talk things out wanting some 'alone time' for reading and being a introvert (Obviously pressure and uncomfortable spending so much time with Nozaki) but alas they end up breaking up and unlikely to get back together.

Hopefully Nozaki gets good advice from our MC, apologizing and managing to fix her relationship with her glass girl friend and ex-boyfriend (Learning to get over her ex-bf.)

Honestly it was bad situation in the end...but I was kind of expecting a nuke level storm instead of a small bomb storm.

augh, Nozaki. what a terrible time to be her. The story does a good job of framing her actions as tragic more than anything. She's so desperate to get to be with Kaizuka again that she ends up retracing the very steps she broke a friendship off for.

the very steps that Kaizuka in denying gained her respect and then love over. so now our teacher cones back into play. How to get over a ex(love interest) that won't go anywhere. Kaede might find this one difficult, her great crush ultimately ended up dating her in the end.

loved the chapter, love the series, I hope yall continue in spite of the haters.

Can't wait for the talk between them. Our MC and her GF should have a lot of experience with situations like this so their advice could be very helpful.

It's been good and now we have a chance for our GF teachers to provide some wisdom here in this messy situation.

Agreed as well. I'd rather not have another series run off the platform like "Boys Gilding the Lilies Shall Die!?" That one still annoys me for how great that series is.

Yep. Using such dirty tactics is for her the last resort, not the first. We just witnesed her going down the path of increasing desperation until she reached what TVtropes calls "the Godzilla threashold" and Oma Smidth called "the zum teufel moment".

Oh, so the tables have literally turned. After everything that happened to her in the past with all those rumors, she’s the one making it happen now, to the girl with glasses. Cold damn move girl...

Nozaki is hitting Kaede with the hard questions, considering Kaede never got over Nami.

I suppose Kaede should know enough for "How do I come back to school?" Thankfully for Nozaki, she hasn't caused any real negative consequences for Kuritani. This is a situation that can be fixed with a couple of apologies, as neither Kuritani nor Ibuki are especially vengeful.

It's not clear if Kuritani will forgive Nozaki with an explanation (probably she will, Kuritani doesn't even have other friends), but I don't see this situation escalating more than it has. What would be interesting is if Kuritani gets information from Ibuki and reaches out to Nozaki on her own, but that might be less realistic when for Kuritani there's too many unknowns about Nozaki's motivations.

Edit: Updating this, I do think Kuritani may like Ibuki less when she knows the full details of what happened, including how Ibuki misjudged Nozaki as controlling and blamed her. It's clear to me that Nozaki saw their relationship as one where they had different strengths and, as the more outgoing person, was trying to be the one to help them connect. The personality and energy level mismatch is enough of a reason for Ibuki to breakup, but he treated Nozaki like she was dead to him and had never respected him.

Misunderstanding personality differences is common even among adults, but it hits differently when it's your closest friend who is treated as an aggressor. This could make Ibuki less appealing as a partner. Kuritani reacting this way would also allow us to resolve this in an "everyone learned a lesson" kind of way, where there was never a singular aggressor or bad guy, which seems fitting for the themes of this story.

To be honest, I have very little interest on this teenage drama, I thought the story would revolve around Kaede's life and her learning the definition of love since she has a very complicated relationship.
If the story introduced me character A, and it got me somewhat invested on her, I expect the coming chapters/developments be about whats next for her, not side character number 7 and very uninteresting ones I must add.

I think the teacher is the main character and the story is her life as a teacher, she learns about love through helping her students, talking with coworkers, and so on. Where in my opinion at least it’s important to learn about the people in her life and their love lives, so when she engages with them we have the whole picture. Personally I enjoy this framing for the story so far.

@FluffyCow Me too. I get expecting something different at first, while it makes sense that there's not total overlap between those who like the true story content and the people who wanted a pure Kaede/Nami story.

Despite that, the story has been consistent since at least the third chapter that we are getting primarily student / student or kaede / student interactions. I'm betting on a Kaede / Nami conversation next chapter, but no one should be surprised when future chapters continue to revolve around teenage love drama.

I finally caught up to this manga again! To be honest, I forgot so much of it that seeing the two girls tricked me into thinking this was Kaede and Nami’s high school era. To be honest, their designs are quite similar. Dark-haired girl and light-haired girl… There is definitely some narrative going on.
