So kind of old school

Ah this makes so much more sense now. I forgive the heavy use of classic tropes lol

Am I the only one who got 0 emotions from this? Like the characters felt so dead and the story was so bland

Same. It just felt like it was going through the motions lol.

Yeah I think the bullying tag is pretty misleading. It made me think Yamada was the one making the anti accounts lol, but everything was really wholesome

I was scared they were gonna drag out the confession again, but Shiho finally did it! Now the story can finally move forward lol. I don't mind Shiho and enjoyed this arc, but I do think it's been dragged for a bit too long. I also think there were plenty of fluffy chapters with HimaYori to satiate the fans of them, but it probably just doesn't feel like much because of the wait between chapters.

Honestly sometimes I didn't like the HimaYori chapters in between because that only meant the Shiho arc was gonna be dragged out for at least another month longer xD

Yeah I also hope it doesn't rewind to all the way before their confession and stuff. Like what was great about it all was that Yvonne fucked up, but they were able to talk it out and make progress together. If they go back in time and Evie "fixes" things on easy mode, it's practically another Elsa and a completely new relationship.

Lmfao after getting past all the dramatic stuff from the previous chapters, I'm really liking how this is developing so far. Makino still remaining shamelessly scummy is so entertaining. Seeing her mental process going back and forth on what she's thinking is so fun.

Thanks for the batch upload! This series definitely benefits from a binge read since the individual chapters themselves are really really short and often end abruptly or without anything having happened. So reading 5 chapters at once helped with the frustration I usually get when reading an update for this series lol.

sooooo comfy. i love how natural the whole realization to confession was. it reflected how Miyako naturally fit in her life already. i hope the story continues well into their relationship!

ITT: inability to separate reality and fiction
Expected nothing less (or rather more) from this userbase

I know right, I wish people would just learn to love every single aspect of every single piece of fiction they mindlessly consume.

In that same font, we should also allow for the ability to be gross/problematic characters in queer fiction as there are gross/problematic queer people irl too.

I think most people's problem with it is more how the grooming situation was handled than it simply existing (well at least that is how it is for me). This is fiction, but this story constantly brings up many real life issues relating to the LGBT community so having them kinda "tee-hee" away the whole Karen situation isn't very palatable. They acknowledge how wrong it is with the "that's illegal" statement and Aya warning Marika about Karen, but it was portrayed as something to brush off. The overall situation was painted in a comedic light with the whole bar watching the 2 while they are discussing this with smiles on their faces so it was just...weird.

I think the main problem with this series is it doesn't know whether it wants to be mindless porn or a commentary on LGBT matters. If the whole thing isn't really meant to be taken seriously, which from the beginning was a ridiculous premise, then I don't think there would be much issue with the problematic content. But the story offers actual meaningful discussions on real life matters so it makes it hard to "separate fiction from reality" sometimes.

Yay! I really liked the development of this chapter! Glad it did end up with the just starting over as friends route. Looking forward to seeing how their interactions will be like now.

ha, it is very interesting that while we now know who Speranza was a clone of, the android Liberta also sure looks remarkably similar to Madoka at least to me. Wonder if that will be a thing or if I'm reading into it too much.

No, I also get the impression that Speranza is the clone of the Doctor, and Liberta has somehow inherited Madoka's personality, if not her memories.

Lol I was just thinking the Doctor/Speranza obviously has a type xD

Also, the kiss was unexpected because i thought will stay ambiguos

Even if there was no kiss, there was absolutely no way their relationship was ambiguous

Aww supportive momma. Love how she figured it out fairly quickly. Another display of it being obvious to everyone but our idiot couple xD

Well not surprising this is how it ended up developing, but we'll see how it goes lol. I was cheering and pleasantly surprised when I read the "true friend" part and then groaned at the "lovers" page right after. I liked Makino's realization of being just a customer and Maron treating their relationship like a job though.

Girl is single handedly solving Japan's overfishing problem.

This is way better than hanahaki disease. Never liked that trope.

So I was like okay, the fish and vomiting are probably a representation of being gay, and the story wasn't "what the fuck" for me, until the smelts flew into the air and kissed along with them. My jaw dropped wide open.

Same that was the only true wtf part of this story lmfao

I think new "loli" is Mai's mom? They see to have the same hair color....edit: wait nvm I went back to look again and her hair color is closer to Yuki's friend so prob one of the big sisters she mentioned?

Lol welp I shoulda stuck with my first guess, but that's cool they have different hair colors. Don't see enough of that in manga lol. Blue hair was totally not what I was expecting though.
