I think Meguru is close to realizing really just how much she hurt Azuki, and man do I hope it triggers her to more openly communicate her insecurities and apologize for what she did.

If Remu was more composed she might could have talked her way out of it, no need to confess her kink. Having naked dolls is nothing strange when you are into, dress up for example. When people see some naked dolls on your desk most people will assume you like playing with dolls and dress up, yada yada, which isn't strange to the point it's disgust someone.

I think Meguru heard Remu's portion of the conversation but not Azuki's, which means what Meguru got out of it is roughly "Azuki is making lewd dolls with my adopted little sister."

I shame deleted a comment where I got confused about where Meguru was standing, but you can see on 7 and 8 that she Meguru is looming in the hallway during their convo.

Remu looks like she is talking loudly and excitedly. It would be too far to hear the other side of a phone call unless it was on speaker phone or there was deaf level audio amplification. Note that the convo would sound very different without Azuki's side.

Then in 11, Remu is called downstairs for dinner, at which point we see Meguru's feet disappear. Meguru left in a hurry without closing the door. Remu notices the door is ajar.

As Remu goes down the stairs, we Meguru's door is fully extended, suggesting she either just entered or exited:

After Meguru is awkwardly standing in the hall at the entrance of her own room.

Then in 19 Meguru explicitly quotes Remu, "It turned out lewd again."

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/our_love_is_disgusting_ch15#19

So very hard to talk her way out of it at that point - Meguru heard Remu say lewd dolls was the goal. Whether they're clothed- they're not, there's no clothing nearby, and Meguru knows it- isn't the point when this is Meguru we're talking about. What we see is Remu trying to take the fall by saying she is the one who likes lewd dolls. This may have been done to protect Azuki by trying to turn the focus, blame, discomfort onto herself. If so, expect more such attempts next chapter now that Azuki has been named.

Apologies if you understood this already. I found the chapter confusing, even though the big picture was clear.

FUCK NIJI ALL MY HOMIES HATE NIJI

niji you weird and manipulative ass ho like girl pick a struggle

Rereading this for the third time, in addition to noticing Niji is momming her mom (eg, cleaning mom's face when she comes home), I'm noticing that Niji is pretty much outright seeking a BDSM dynamic with Remu. This dynamic is centered around care taking and embarrassment / humiliation.

Her idea of Remu, like a proper manga character, is so easily embarrassed that any kind of sexual activity functions as humiliation. I choose to believe this is a mangaism and Japanese people don't think it's typical for women to cry during sex, but fiction is heavily influencing Niji's conception of how these situations work. Her novel even novel describes Remu's eyes becoming moist "in anticipation." She has this half sexual, half emotional desire to make Remu cry and then help her feel better. This would of course be fine if it were consensual.

In that light, and I know people may be ignoring my links by now, check out the sex panels in chapter:

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/our_love_is_disgusting_ch07#14

And compare with panels in chapter 19, where we got Niji's most evil moment in the story:

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/our_love_is_disgusting_ch12#19

The panels seem very different from POV Niji. I realize this comes down to me saying Niji is like an assaulter who says Remu secretly wants it, but... that's more or less her idea of how Remu functions. It's based on at-school Remu, who is easily embarrassed around sexual topics, and Niji's own proclivities. These, if paired with consent, would be at home in a BDSM dynamic. That should be thought of as Niji's thing as much as the real life web fiction.

If I had a point with this, don't treat real people like manga characters who cry and tell you to stop when they're especially happy about what you're doing.

Edit: Another point, Niji is like the other characters who are acting from displaced feelings of sexual attraction toward women (eg, Meguru is really objecting to her own sexual feelings when she condemns others). Niji has had to be the adult in her home instead of acting like a typical teenager. She imagines a scenario where the traits she was forced to develop are valued, which also impacts how she expresses sexual feelings toward women. Therefore it may be much harder for her to tell what is sexually motivated since she developed this partially as a coping mechanism for anti-gay prejudice, which sees sexual attraction between women as disgusting or inferior to begin with.

A lot of this could be solved if she found someone who wanted to have this sort of relationship with her, but punishing herself by focusing on an unavailable love interest (who also happens to be her first teenage love interest) instead of moving on is classic lesbian behavior. We also see it from Meguru and Azuki, but also from many real lesbians who were conditioned to think they can't be successful in love.

Delicious explanation above. Also, ooo is that two jealous sisters I see?!

It got axed. Two more chapters left.

Double blow for Usui Shio because her other yuri series was also axed a couple of months ago.

Are you shitting me? This manga is amazing.

Can you share your source? I couldn't find information about it ending, but I also don't use Japanese language websites.

It's in the preview for the next issue of Yuri Hime. Next chapter is labled as the last one.

Thanks, that sounds conclusive.

Now that we have chapter 16 mangadex, this does feel like it's about to end on chapter 17. RIP Niji, the story ended after your low point. Now everyone will hate you forever, except maybe Remu if you apologize to her.

This is my favorite currently airing series, so I'm sad to see it go. At least it seems like we will be getting a good ending. I mean that in the "Some people's rushed endings are better than others' planned endings" kind of way .

Edit: I think the saddest part about this ending for me is not missing out on Niji's growth, but Azuki's. Azuki to some extent never grew up, never learned how to be independent, and never learned how to stick up for herself. She was even rather mean to Remu, albeit in a way that Remu didn't take seriously.

The story seemed to be setting Remu ending up in a bad situation due to Remu covering for Azuki, but also where Remu seems dishonest to Azuki due to Remu hiding her relationship with Meguru. Remu would then need Azuki's help, which could involve Azuki deciding to trust Remu and defend Remu to Meguru while taking responsibility for herself.

Now that's never going to happen, except maybe in the form of a few rushed conversations that don't do any of their arcs justice. It'll be good, but far below of what this author is otherwise capable.

ughhh noooooo, this was legit one of my fave currently running

it appears that Niji just got sent to the lowest of the lows in this chapter while everyone else is going better right now.
I hope for them to clear things and up and maybe heal later at least.

The end was coming the moment Azuki and Remu accepted that they are weird and there is nothing wrong with that, since there are people who will love them for who they are.

I am kind of tired that any time a yuri ends and people expect more development everyone assumes the manga was axed, when most works on yurihime are 2-4-6 volumes. Same happened with Devilish Girlfriend and then the author notes dropped lol there was another manga where translator linked a author tweet saying the work was planned as a oneshot, and people keep saying it was axed. In various cases the “it was axed” (or “yuri is always axed”) allegation are mostly by people dissatisfied with the development and ending of a work, because again, most works on yurihime are short, yuri manga on seinen-shonen magazines are the long ones (which prove they are popular) but also, most of the time the length of a manga is discussed before serialization, sometimes its fixed, sometimes (when the author is popular) its free length, and yes sometimes they are axed but for what I have seen, authors don’t shy away from saying their manga got axed

It's not about an arbitrary number of volumes. It's about abrupt endings that no one saw coming, which signifies either poor planning on the author's part, or being cancelled prematurely. Usui Shio is not an inexperienced author. If they had planned for this series to end with 3 volumes, the manga would have had different pacing, and we would have seen the ending coming some chapters ago. Authors typically don't straight up say that they're being axed for failing to meet sales expectation, at least not right away, unless they want to burn bridges with their current publisher. You either read between the lines ("I'm sorry for letting readers down") or hear they mention it in passing years later. In this case, the fact Usui Shio didn't bother to promote this month's chapter on their X, when they always did it before, speaks volume.

Meguru and Azuki endgame lets goooo

I think all serial yuri should go back to being 2 volumes so people stop being weird about "the axe" or expecting absolutely ridiculously ballooning scale like it's a Shounen Sunday Sale

everyone is a nutcase in this huh

I don't think I could ever be as calm as Remu was in chp 16, when her privacy was being invaded by 2 people so close to her.
To me her being so calm and level headed after Meguru mentioned Niji was like the most unbelievable thing. I wouldn't have been able to be coherent in her place, I'd be lashing out at both of them immediately.

If they had planned for this series to end with 3 volumes, the manga would have had different pacing, and we would have seen the ending coming some chapters ago.

But this is what I mean, you think there is not enough development so it has to be axed. using Devilishly Girlfriend again as a example, before the author notes, everyone said the same, that it was too abrupt and that Haru was a experienced author, so it was obvious it was axed because the pacing was weird, and how good it would be if she got the length she envisioned for the manga, when she planned the story to be like that Years Ago!
A work that is coming to end having more potential in your eyes is not the same as being axed.
When people ask for proof of the axed, usually someone link a tweet saying “My work will end in the next issue!” and like, every mangaka announce that. I am not saying some works are not axed, maybe this one was axed! but the forum constantly does that with no proof every time a story don’t live to their expectation.
Sometimes people have to accept that authors can have bad pacing (not that I agree) or simply not put them into a pedestal that make them believe that there has to be an external reason (axe) for the story to not live up to the author (didn't live up to their own expectations of the author)

In my case I have seen authors saying their work was made to come to an end and feeling apologetic towards readers but again, most of the time the proof of an axed is not that, is a tweet announcing the final chapter and all mangakas announce the end of their works with a tweet.

I think this story had good pacing and that an end around here is completely believable. I do wish it was longer because i want that, not because i really need to see Azuki's or Niji's growth/development. I really loved this toxic yuri and I'm gonna miss it, i hope it gets licensed soon.

I'm a little sad about Niji having to get straight up abusive towards Remu and blackmail her to get what she wants. That killed any true consent if they did get in a relationship and now i definitely never want to see it in the future. She could've just had a super embarrassing secret that she wrote about herself and her crush and it somehow got popular. I also would've been interested in a story about how to confess that. But now i don't feel any sympathy for her with Remu at all and hope she gets help and away from her.

I love that Niji is the “bad end” that Meguru just avoided and that Azuki and Remu will never experience because they both want to connect and not judge others. Azuki is my favorite of them, she is a dysfunctional adult trying to recollect herself.
I am sure Remu will confront Niji and that will make her reevaluate everything, her character was interesting and she is what I wish to see when someone says toxic yuri.

That went quite nicely, mostly as expected.

And Niji is about to have a rude awakening...

Now that the update got posted here, I can say Niji was giving off significant Yuno Gasai energy. Someone is about to get axed for sure.

Remu is the most easy going and non-judgmental character, while Niji appears to be her closest friend, so it makes sense to me. She is mad, but Niji has enough friendship cred that Remu will give Niji a chance to explain herself. This isn't a behavior that she associates with Niji, so she wants to know why it happened before deciding how to respond.

Remu still has no idea Niji likes her that way, so that will likely be surprising enough to her that she will calm down some. She may feel some degree of responsibility for being oblivious to Niji's feelings the whole time, even though it's not really her fault to not know what wasn't explained to her.

I'm guessing they immediately make up and Niji starts crying while apologizing or something like that, just because the story must end immediately after. That'll be realistic enough in the sense some people would react that way.
