I like this so much that I'm afraid of what's to come, that mother and co-worker situation will come soon and I'm scared.

amazing chapter, I think imouto didn't know Uno was a girl at first but she probably already knew or suspected her sister liked girls

I loved the "Thud" sound effect when she droped on her flat chest, that and the buised face on the second time she did it had me laughing

However is there a reason you guys are giving the stupid truck a honorific. And why does it have to be male.

I think it's a common trope in Isekai stories where the protagonist gets run over by a truck and transported to another world, it was such a common occurence in that kind of story thapeople started giving a name for the "truck character" hence, truk-kun was born

Not that anyone here thinks that NIka will be transported to another world but the similarity sparked the appearence of the infamous truck-kun

as for it being male, I really don't know...I have seena a forklift-chan before but for the truck I have no idea.

I feel she will try to force herself the hardest to make things work with that co-worker her friends are setting her up too, its a very complicated situation to date with someone you work with and it may be her breaking point to realize that she can't keep forcing herself.

I just hope she starts having lunch with Satou.

This author really loves their cliffhangers...

Before Truck-kun appeared though, it kinda felt like Nika was starting to realize she had gotten over her feelings for Jun though, so I guess we're headed for Nika/Kurumi endgame.

me too, it felt like she was going to let go at that instant before the glove truck kun incident.

I have a bad feeling about this tho, either Nika gets hurt and she goes to the hospital and I don't know what happens there

or Jun gets hurt and then Nika will want to stay by his side since she will feel guilty and that will add a whole new layer of drama to her relationship with Kurumi

Poor Izumi, so used to lying and to hiding and here is she telling the thing on Nanaki's face. Don't think she will get it, I hope that friend of her was just shocked not afraid, I want Izumi to be happy.

VERY strong first chapter wow? I relate to this so much in terms of that comphet, although I knew I was into girls since very young. The difficult part was finding out if I was actually into guys. Wonder if the storyline takes it in that direction or if she’s just gonna barrel forward into her developing crush. Definitely subscribed!

I guess it's shown that she is very much not into guys by the first chapter but she insists on trying

Maybe we will see her forcing herself or being forced by family or friend's preassure into trying again during the series before she understand it's just not her thing.

I feel weird reading this, like, it makes me feel sorry for both MC and myself irl. I think just like her. Except I am unable to even make friends irl.

It might make you feel better to know this seems to be becoming slightly more common these days. I keep seeing studies that say so.

Oh good, now I can back my loneliness with science.

She even says that she doesn't want to see her in tears again.

That's a bit condractory, want them to break up but don't want her to be in tears ? Pick one because you can't have both.

It is not contraditory in a sense, she wishes for it to end now because at her POV the longer things go the more Kurumi will suffer, meaning that she wishes for less suffering.

There is jealousy in her actions but with the information she has she is genuinely wishing for what she believes will hurt her friend less.

I genuinely believe that she believes her prayer was the right thing to do for Kurumi.

To add to that, Kyou's prayer was for their break up, not for Kurumi to be hers. She even says that she doesn't want to see her in tears again.

Also, I know this isn't determinant, but they did have sex. I guess you can have sex with a woman even if you're not into women, but I think that's at least indicative that Nika can go both ways.

Wait, when did they have sex? They slept together in c6, but pretty sure they didn't have sex.

I mean, it's not explicitly stated, but reread Chapter 8. What do you think happens immediately after this?

Frindship, lots and lots of friendship, gals being pals all over each other, friendship overflowing

The ribbon on the floor is nice touch to indicate that their friendship is deepening

Aaaaaaa
this is way too short
awesome art and hot as hell, does anyone knows if there are more raws out or are we waiting for releases?

Gotta say, when I saw the new chapter I got anxious before clicking, thats's how much I like this series.

Now, for the chapter, the pain and suffering Kyou is enduring is tough, she never confessed because Kurumi never showed any interest in her while falling in love left and right for others, it kinda is a reverse Jun. She realizes her mistake and wants to correct it but she is too anxious to do it, that's really painful to see.

She wishes for their break up because she doesn't really know Nikaido aside from the bad girl she thinks she is and she thinks Nikaido is just messing with Kurumi, but then later when she sees the expression Kurumi made while thinking of her she instantly gets stab through the heart.

That is a lonely girl if I ever saw one, I hope things go well for her during the series.

this is really interesting, I'm curious to see Midori's mindset, her side of things either right now or by the time they broke up
loving the series so far.

Typo on first panel page 1
Masterbated instead of masturbated.

Unless she was baiting people masterfully then it should be masterbaited :)

Wow, what a bitch. Paying for the hotel room and stuff.

Judging by the posted title translation, it's the blonde who seems to be the "bitch", since she's obviously in love and doesn't seem that taciturn. :-/

I think you are right.
And depite her disaster lesbian behavior around the quiet girl she seems to be quite the player.

She was late at night picking girls off the street to go to a motel and then she mentioned that she still thinks about the quiet girl when she is with other girls, meaning she already picked up multiple others between their two encounters.

I think this is the story of a player finding her weekspot.

Thank you very much for the scan team for giving sucha treat as all this cvhapters in a row, I really like this series.

I think Kurumi did the right thing now, she can't live in that uncertanty and I still believe that NIka's feelings for her are true, that said, I know too how hard is it to let go of feelings that she nurtured for so long for her childhood friend, I guess we'll have to wait and see

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/between_philia_and_eros_ch10#13 Holy crap, did this one hit me right in the kokoro. I've been there, that whole "you don't love me the same way" thing. Shit hurts like hell.

ugh, too hard a memory

Of course telling your sister to go to the bar to see who is the person Ayano cheat with is a dick move but for one he didn't force her to go and second he didn't tell her to ask Akari about the matter, which was very rude from the sister. He is not innocent but he isn't entierly guilty.

I think he is and I would be very mad at him in Akari's place, at ayano too for blabering for that matter.

Forcing or not is really of no consequence, the only reason he talked about the bar was because he wanted her to go there, and he wanted it to be a surprise hance the vagueness, and he could not predict how Kaede would react. It could very believebly turned into a scandal at Akari's workplace and costed her her job since we all know how japan is acceptable of that sort of situation, so that is why I don't think it was an innocent or inconsequential action, he may not realized all the bad things that could happen but the decision to goad Kaede into going there didn't come from a good place.

Which is good for the character in my opinion, when people do shitty things to you you want to do shitty things back, its a normal human reaction, which makes him more believable I think. I think this is his first visceral reaction since the whole thing started, he seemed to be stunned and out of it about the whole thing so I think this is a turning point to him being more proactive and taking actions to get what he wants out of this mess, whatever that may be.

Probably what bothers me the most is that what he did was a low key ejecting Ayano from the closet to her sister

How ? He didn't say anything about that matter, if anything it stay vague as hell. And i found very quick to jump on the husband for that when most ofthe fault is on Ayano, who go to say at who want to heard it that she cheat on her husband. I mean that she said to her husband,it's normal. It's the kind of thing you had to go trought at two but then she goes saying to her mother in law and her sister in law. She doesn't really have to do it but she does anyway. Plus after she cheats the first time, instead of telling Akari directly she have a husband. She come back to the SAME bar, knowning Akari will be here, with her husband.
You can blame the husband for giving his sister the bar location but remember that the sister wouldn't have ask in the first place if Ayano didn't say anything.

How? he may not directly said anything but he was very certain of what Kaede would found out when she got there, he knew and that was entirelly his idea, Kaede never asked anything about the person that was involved in the affair, and that is leaving out the potential suffering and embarrasment he was sending Akari's way since he had no idea if Kaede was going to make a scene or not, he simply took a chance and sent her there.
Ayano is doing a blunder after another and I think right now she's about to do one once again because she refuses to be decisive about what she wants, she has to make things clear with both her husband and akari or just cut it off.
I'm just saying that being less wrong than Ayano doesn't make his last action right, it was blunder on his part, even if rationalized and justified by the blunders commited against him.

out of all this happening I really feel for Akari tho, hurt comming her way once again.

the fact that we have so much to discuss about this is one of the reasons I love this title, and I like to get in on the character's motives and reasons.

Every chapter of this breathtakingly rendered slow-motion trainwreck leaves me needing more. This was definitely not a virtuous, or even smart, move by the husband, but you have to figure...he is probably desperate to talk about this to somebody, and - in typical male fashion - if he has any other male friends, he would probably not be comfortable admitting to any of them that his wife cheated on him, let alone with a woman.

And something else: he probably expects his sister-in-law to relish having something "over" a family member and would turn on Aya, because that's what would happen in HIS family. It doesn't occur to him that, push come to shove, she'll side with supporting her sister.

Why does everybody think the husband is a bad guy? Honestly, though, he seems like the most decent person out of the three. He loves Ayano and wants her to be happy, he's always talked to her and asked her what she wants, then Ayano fucked up bad and he's even trying to cope with it somehow. He hasn't given me one reason to dislike him.

what he did this chapter was pretty shitty I think, if ayano wanted to talk with her sister she would, and he knew that she didn't say anything to Kaede, he went as far as being all cryptic and sending her to the bar for shock value, if he just wanted to talk to someone he would have been streightforward with Kaede and just tell her what it was. Maybe he didn't act sooner because he couldn't believe or he was a bit of a coward to break up or get mad over it, but I think this first act of passive agressiveness from him won't be the last

He does get bonus points for cowardice but it may actually be too early to even accuse him of malicious intent since we are not privy to why he did it. Even if he was aiming to shit stir the wrongness of his actions is still absolutely dwarfed by those of his wife, We have someone who has been horribly betrayed and intentionally wronged by his spouse repaying that betrayal with what is at worst some very low grade passive aggressiveness that doesn't really even cross any lines like lying. I mean as far as throwing a passive aggressive punch goes that's barely a flick in the nose and that's assuming he had bad intentions. He may legitimately be trying to get his sister's input on the whole thing and is too afraid to face his wife's elicit lover himself.,

Probably what bothers me the most is that what he did was a low key ejecting Ayano from the closet to her sister, like I said, if Ayano was confortable in discussing that part she would, and I don't think that being cheated gives him the right to do that, you don't suddenly have the right to punish someone if you were cheated on and the cheater told you about it, you can either break up or work through it but adding more hurt to the pot is never a good thing.

The other thing is HOW he did it, he asked " don't you want to see who would make ayano have an affair?" and the vagueness and all that.
Even Kaede commented that he was not acting like himself (and ayano too for that matter), so I think something is changing, and when both of them move to an environment that is entirely supportive of him( the mother-in-law's house) I think more changes will happen to him, he will feel entitled to whatever action he takes. But that is just my guess on how things usually happen when a situation like that is presented.

Not saying I blame him, that kind of betrayal can make you act erratically and make you do things you wouldn't or that you would regret later, but still not cool.

I liked this a lot, poor Haru had her plans for the evening somewhat twarted by sleepy gf but ok.

will the continuation be translated too I wonder?

Well her trying to figure out whatever it's just a friendship or a actual love would be a very fitting thematically considering the series is called between Philia (love for friend) and Eros (love for partner).

Tfw the philia love Nikaido felt was for Jun and she mistook it for romantic feelings

It is a very fitting name not only for the relationship between Kurumi and Nika but their relations with Jun an Kyou

Jun is there to make sure things are serious I think, they are going out for over a month and that is probably the longest she ever had.
And he probably noticed a change in Nikaidou's behaviour too, since she stopped responding to his calls before the phone dropped in the bridge.

As for Nikaidou's feelings, she did mention that she gets hot when she kisses Kurumi so I think this muddled feelings drama is just a set up for she actually getting turned on and making a move on Kurumi since I think Kurumi is too much of a sweety to go on the offensive

I predict a lot of drama going when Ookuma's parents discover this, I think it would be interesting too, we usually have the super supportive parents going on or it's never adressed at all and I don't remember reading many stories that get into the family drama part of coming out (if you know some please link it to me please).
