I hate this so much, she's so stupid. Looking forward to the continuation.

Yeeesh.... messy as heelllll ♪～(￣ε￣；)

Heh, "leave the meat and beat it" sure was the perfect phrasing for that.

So…that’s like stalking. Right?

Yes. Yes it is. But it’s ok cause it all ended up ok.

i like dog

I think this is going to be about found family

But also dog >>>>

So I mean, this is a complex story, so I think it's likely there are sides to this woman that have not shown, and reasons why she is how she is of which we are unaware, and all that jazz. But based on the evidence we have, I'd have to agree with friend lady: She's bad news, stay away.

look, i care about loving and caring relationships and this hana-san girl clearly can't provide that, so i'm okay with harutaka until hana-san cares to change her ways

I think we can cut the guy a bit of slack. I mean, his wife is obsessed with some other person, and he's freakin' supporting her while she takes him for granted, and that other person is kind of suspicious . . . he's got all kinds of reasons both for his sake and hers to want to know what's going on, and a pretty strong stake in the proceedings. With how ridiculously nice he's being about everything, I think he deserves a pass on a little stalk.

Have to admit that I’m a bit confused at this development. Things seem to happen and yet I am still not catching on with their situation?
Talk about a “slow burn”, with almost no new things to conclude here about the new girl.

They are married and everyone can see she likes Hana that way, more than stalker I can’t blame him, if a friend of yours was in the same position as Harutaka how could you advice them for example? You can’t tell them to inmediately divorce, I would never tell them to check their partner phone, so if the opportunity of their partner saying to them "Hey, I'm going to hang out with -person they are probably emotionally cheating." I would tell them to go and see. at least in this case where they are in a public space watching cherry blossoms, and because they live in a small town where everyone sees each other.

But in all honestly the whole situation is hilarious and I don't think it would have a place in real life, they would already be arguing

But also, under that premise, Hikaru would be a stalker

I didn't think this was possible, but this story might actually make me root for a (shiver) het ending.

I hate this so much, she's so stupid. Looking forward to the continuation.

Seriously, I'm starting to dislike the MC for STILL simping for the red flag. The husband though is like getting more and more likeable, makes me not want my yuri fix for this one.

First time in a loooonnng time I've hoped het wins out lol. Or bro gets someone that cares about him but he actually really seems to, y'know, love and care about her so I want him to be happy above all else.

It's going exactly as I expected. sigh

first time i wanted the guy to win ever i think.. unless whatsherface has a solid excuse/one piece-esq backstory, it’s going to be hard to justify her over husband.

Considering this a story about a small town, what are the chances that the generic NPC boyfriend, MC saw with the red flag during middle school was her own husband. Iirc, he flinched when she introduced her to everyone at the restaurant. Also, he seems to be aware about her obsession with Ms. Red flag, even though they met after they were working adults.

Also, wasn't Minami the one who informed the MC about Ms. Red flag even though it looks like she knows her friend has unhealthy obsession with her.

I'm so conflicted. The homewrecker looks like a really big red flag, and MC is probably better off with her husband...

BUT I WANT YURI!

I guess toxic yuri strikes again. For the first time in my life, I found myself tearing up for a man who didn't get the woman. He's such a sweet guy since the first time they met, and it seems that she settled for him, instead of actually marrying him out of love. Alas such is hetcomp so it's understandable, but blatantly hoping something will happen with someone else while in a loving relationship is where I draw the line. I really hope they don't make him out to be an abuser and that they work it out properly before she starts cheating on him openly.

That being said, the premise started so sweet. Homewrecker girlie better have been pining for MC as much as MC was for her, otherwise this will be a bitter and disgusting read.

I can't help but feel like this one will end very bittersweetly... I'm having a bit of trouble sympathizing with hana's character; I'm sure she has her reasons for it but her actions come across as very mean-spirited. :( I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel really bad for the husband. he genuinely seems like a nice person who doesn't deserve to get betrayed. at this point, I'm hoping hikaru will either get over her past love, or she and the husband will divorce on good terms... (๑•́︿•̀๑)

They should get divorced, but not for yuri reasons. Husband should find himself a better love. Like, his wife is fucked up.

All I know is this is going to be really really messy it's only chapter 4 and it's this obvious whats going to happen

The Baka-updates website lists it as a Shoujo Ai a Yuri and a romance.

Baka-Updates is the opposite of an official site. Anybody can edit the pages, the author and the publisher have no control over it. Like any user-edited database, it's especially unreliable for the more niche series since they get less oversight.

[...] The husband though is like getting more and more likeable, makes me not want my yuri fix for this one.

[Text removed by me.]

Okay, I'm taking back what I said there, now that I read chapter 3-4. I see what the issue is now. You guys are not rooting for the male lead because he's the safe option. You're rooting for him because the homewrecker is barely in the story at all. She shows up for a few panels to look all menacing and then she fucks off again.

Tagging this series as "yuri" on this site is acceptable given that we don't have a better alternative. But there's basically no yuri happening. other than the protagonist's hopelessly one-sided obsession. It makes sense that for those who feel the need to root for someone, there really is nobody but the husband as an option. The homewrecker is straight up avoiding the protagonist, never mind making any attempts at wrecking the home. You can't root for a player that doesn't show up to the game.

Reminder: this series is only tagged as romance and drama on official storefronts, not yuri. The first volume even features the husband on the cover. I'd say so far I agree with that choice.

Being so enamored with the husband here is not the revelation some people seem to think it is. As I tried to warn before, this series is only tagged as romance and drama on official storefronts, not yuri. The first volume even features the husband on the cover. Saying "wow I can't believe I'm rooting for the guy" here is the equivalent of saying "wow I can't believe I'm rooting for the two girls" under a manga that is packaged and sold as yuri.

That said, these reactions also illustrate pretty well that a lot of yuri fans seem to like yuri only insofar as they enjoy convenient fluff. "Oh no, this homewrecker lady is too wild and interesting! Save me, nice and normal Male Lead!"

I think the latter is a wildly unfair statement. I'm a big fan of Destroy It All And Love Me In Hell and that's pretty damn toxic yuri. I loved Black and White as well. This is entirely different. We've had basically 0 from Hana. She's given us nothing and no reason to root for her, and this specific chapter some good reasons not to root for her.

I agree, I jumped the gun there, and I edited my earlier comment.

But everything about chapter 3-4 just confirms it to me that this is not really a yuri manga where it counts. There is Hikaru with her one-sided obsession, and there is the "homewrecker" who barely shows her face in the story at all. They don't really form what we could call a pairing. It's not that this story is toxic, it's that there is no yuri narrative taking place. Not even a toxic or tragic one.

Which, again, shouldn't be surprising in this manga, given that it's officially packaged and sold only with the romance tag. Readers on Dynasty are taking the Yuri tag (and the lack of a Het tag) applied by the uploaders at face value, and expecting something that was technically never promised.

main character doesn't even get horny about the supposed homewrecker, and the husband is a "green flag"

I don't think using that as a metric works because most of Yuri's works don't start with "I like this girl, she makes me horny." Masturbation is also not common. Most of the time it's "I like this girl gets nervous" and that happens here. But also, her husband doesn't make her horny either.

I didn't mention masturbation... I was of course talking about yuri manga with cheating or wife-stealing, not just any random yuri manga. For example, in chapter 1 of Pinky Candy Kiss, Takara is already thinking about the taste of the kiss she shared with her now married ex-classmate almost two decades before. Authors usually want to prime the audience for what will generally happen in the story.

I don't think most people understand the manga classification in Japan. It's not the same as it is in the west.

Japan will mostly classify manga type based on its demographic and/or based on the publishing magazine. Yuri is not a demographic, and in that case, the manga was not published in a yuri magazine, therefore, it's not classified as yuri. It doesn't mean that it's not yuri (Western meaning). Actually, it would be classified as yuri in the west, as the purpose of this manga is to depict woman /woman relationship, even though it doesn't look like it right away.

The cover of the first volume indicate that, even though it's subtle. A woman stands in between the couple. She has a red umbrella, the color of fate destiny in Japan. This is definitely some foreshadowing.

Not the typical yuri manga, definitely not my jam. But yuri nevertheless.
