Aw, that's almost... too sweet.

I hope they get where they want to go without taking too much damage. We don't need this to have a Chris Benoit ending.

This is actually really great. I loved wrestling growing up because of my dad and it's gay. That's just a win win.

I'm curious what era this takes place since they're doing their best to keep kayfabe going about hating each other. Like to the point even the promoter/teams etc doesn't know about them.

Akiba can step on me any day as well. I have a feeling she's gonna be an issue later since it's not known these two are dating she can pursue Saa-chan out in public and they might even try and force them together for a work or something to gain publicity/fans

Not a fan of her brother at all.

Also their loves seems super genuine I don't think they will ever like the kayfabe roles of hating each other actually spill over into their relationship unless something like above happens.

Glad a chapter was released of this was something I didn't know about.

Counter point: That would be a fantastic opportunity to play even harder into the whole Wicked Witch thing they've got going and do an enemies to lovers bit, which would be way more hype and have room for way more drama than just having Akiba come in and steal Butterfly Cat's heel. I mean, the story arc practically writes itself: Akiba notices the Wicked Witch's potential and offers her a chance at an even bigger spotlight, if only she'd come to her side. Of course, she really only wants her as a shinier rival and has no intention of letting Suda step out of her shadow. Suda, being the awful heel that she is, is tempted by the offer of fame and glory, but Cat realizes she actually cares about the Witch as more than just a rival. They have one, last, climactic fight with Cat putting everything on the line to get her feelings across, but Suda won't here a word of it, until she starts winning and it looks like she might actually break away. At the last minute she refuses to finish the fight and it ends in a draw, allowing them both to move on together, to take on the brightest star.

bonding over bloody foreheads

Cute girls doing cute things.

That's how you get brain damage x_x

Don't worry, from how they're acting I'm pretty sure they have not much left to damage anyway.

This is so adorable

Oh my god their fighting is their foreplay.

Secret relationships too.

LOVE IT!!!!

So Akiba knows they're in a secret relationship? Because why else would she go up to her and say all that stuff about stealing her away etc if she didn't know.

Knew it was coming that she wanted to uh be with? No it more sounds like she just wants to take her on as a wrestling partner with Suda?

Also why the hell is her "list of potential cheating partners" that long holy cow and to make it someone you have a realistic chance of meeting/doing it with to boot.

Next chapter should be interesting to see how they fight in the ring with her head a giant mess now especially since the fights themselves has been a way they express their love for each other.

Fun chapter really enjoying this series a lot.

I'm pretty sure it's the president who knows about their relationship and she said all that stuff because he put her up to it. Also, she seems to have a thing for Suda.

I dislike the president. Well, obviously, the president is a douchebag, they're there to be disliked. But I don't like the pres as a character--as a concept even. The pres is conceptualized as "a douchebag who gets things done, whose shenanigans make things work". And in my experience that's just not realistic. Most douchebags don't make things work at all. But even ones with clever tactics, they make things work tactically by screwing up strategically. Shitting in your own bed, no matter what your rationale, still leaves you with a shitty bed.

He stated in a previous chapter that he'll do whatever is needed for the sake of the promotion. Obviously, he's shown as heartless, since he put an end to his own sister's solo career. But the fact he wants Saeko and Haruka to be more aggressive against each other is coherent with his goals.

At least, he doesn't mind them being in love.

Wow, is wrestling so fun to feel like a world cup?

Number 48? That's a long list.

They even have their very own secret gay handshake!

Still, it's a bit weird how they acknowledge the keyfabe and still do as if the matches aren't fixed.
