whoa, all the confusing rage.

Seems to me that Remi's being presented as a person with good intentions and a vile nature, so she's being beneficent by being awful. She wants to disrupt the passivity that's ruining Sacchan and Ruki's relationship. Sacchan will go along with anything because the alternative for her is blind, unhelpful anger, and Ruki never believed that she had anything resembling a chance, and she's wanting to put off the rejection as long as she can.

I admit, I don't understand the apparently common belief that cheating in a relationship demonstrates a reprehensible, rotten, and unfixable moral core. I mean, I wouldn't like it if it happened to me, but I also figure that it's something that takes place in the context of a relationship, and so it's up to the partner to forgive or not. Regardless, a lot of character nuance seems to be glossed over by people who are just mad about the cheating.

Oh, and so Ruki's officially envy. That makes Remi.... greed? Makes sense.

I'm hesitant to form any lasting opinions yet, because there's still two chapters to go, but I can sort of understand what motivated Sacchan's behaviour - that doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly shitty though. I don't think one indiscretion means the end for a relationship, particularly if they're willing to discuss it, but she apparently fucked Remi behind Ruki's back for an entire month, and in general has just been a shitty fucking girlfriend. But I don't think that means she's an awful person. Most people's first relationships are training wheels relationships, where they figure out how to be with someone and deal with doing shitty things to someone you love and having them done to you. But I think in this regard they've gone past the point of no return and should each cut their losses.

But I know they won't, clearly, because Ruki is stupid over Sacchan.

Also, /u/ anon messed up first, go check the thread again. Ruki's apparently pride, Remi's envy.

How even

I'm not terribly invested in this story, I should say first, but I will say too that I think I had more fun reading the #RAGEQUIT posts in the comments section than I did reading the manga itself :)

Dynasty comments are always a laugh riot.

Oh, admins may I kindly suggest a NTR OR CHEATING tag to be placed on this chapter so people can actually prepare themselves AND DONT GET FRICKIMG HEART ATTACKS/RAGE MODES? I know "cheating" may be subjective but honestly, who so far who has read this chapter doesn't see it as cheating? Thanks for the hardwork and keep up the awesome job!

tbf, you could see this coming a mile off from the previous chapter.

hating on remi just because she's the one who's openly sexual with everyone(because they didn't have a choice with having sex with remi amirite) and ignoring the fact that she's the only one making literally 90% of the character development happen in this series AND the fact that nobody understands what's happening in ch12

yeah okay i will fight all of you to death to defend best girl remi(╯°□°)ຈ҉̛༽̨҉҉ﾉ̨

I wanted to tell you you're shit and your opinions are shit, but then I stopped and thought about it and Remi's not really the devil incarnate. I still think your reasoning is flawed, but, tis true, it's not like she forced anyone to have sex with her. I'd say she's probably chaotic neutral than anything else. She's just doing it for the lulz.

I suppose what gets me, is why are any of the others still friends with her? They don't seem to overly enjoy her company, except that most of them seem to have fucked her at one point or another. And Sachi - I can understand one indiscretion, but does she ever explain why she kept fucking her? And during all this she seems to have resisting making an effort to even see Ruki.

Man, Sachi's a piece of shit.

I'm starting to feel like this may be the kind of manga I want to let finish before I read it all at once.

The release post says there's one more chapter left. (Seriously, go check out the scanlators' sites sometime...)

Also, I can't be the only one who finds it weird that Makoto's friend would admit to wanting to have sex with fifth grade girls in front of Makoto and Akina's mother.

I think you'll find he wants them to have sex with him. Stupid sexy children.

Any news about the tank for this?

NTR is cuckolding, basically.

You can't think all Shou has up in his mind is lolicon.

Why not?

Simply because the human brain is more developed than that. Human societies are more developed than that. The notion that Shou, or any hentai writer, has 4+ works on lolicon, therefore they can only conceive of lolicon is just dehumanizing.

It makes it seem as though these writers are one-dimensional and that they can only see the world through one sort of lens and have not experienced a wide range of emotions.

Well clearly he's proven at this point that he /can/ write other things. But that doesn't stop plenty of hentai mangaka spending their entire careers just making increasingly extreme works in their chosen genre. Which is clearly a pattern he could have been entering into if you compare his most recent tank to his previous work. Though funnily enough that was released after he did Prism.

Anyway, I was never dissing Shou in the first place anyway - you both put words in my mouth. I was just wondering what his motivation may have been for such a complete departure from his previous work. It was probably something as simple as someone went, "Hey bro, wanna do some yuri?" or maybe he'd wanted to write some yuri for a while and looked for an opportunity to do so. I dunno why you both took umbrage with my original comment.

He must have some interest of his own in yuri though if he wrote Stretch as he has - I can't imagine he was instructed to add the yuri subtext(/text).

Jeez, this was adorable. I'd love to see some grown-up Yui/Nodoka as well.

I could ask you the same question.

I have - and I never said I disliked it. But I think there's some justification in wondering how he went from writing very explicit exclusively heterosexual hentai about disturbingly precocious primary school children to a surprisingly touching yuri coming-of-age tale about high school girls. That's a departure from form on every front. Though I suppose not quite as out of character as Stretch - they're actually grown-ups!

You can't think all Shou has up in his mind is lolicon.

Why not?

I've always wondered how he ended up writing something like Prism given the content of pretty much everything else he's ever written ever.

Unlike some manga/anime characters, human beings are complex and multi-dimensional! It's a little dehumanizing to think if someone predominantly wrote hentai for a large amount of their lives, they can't conceive of anything different.

Have you read his hentai?

All your opinions are immediately invalid.

P.S. Two errors noticed. P7 - "writ", P18 - "for forever"

I'm gonna go with "for forever" being colloquial moreso. I'd definitely say it in passing.

That was tooth-rottingly sweet.

I loved it.

And no questioning of why a little girl was alone with a grown man naked?
It's okay for me to assume he's a rapist now right?

He was painting her. And covering yourself with a sheet is fairly common practice instead of just being fully naked.
She fell asleep and let the sheet drop and when he saw that she covered her back up. So if anything he's not all that bad of a father.

Although there has been a strong inference that he did something to her in the past, which is why Tomoe keeps freaking out every time Mikage goes over there by herself.

Is this yuri yet?

this comes pretty close to my reaction about this ending:

I actually feel a lot better now.

I'm actually quite enjoying this? Though I am really looking forward to meeting the girlfriend.

Yeah, the first couple of chapters definitely made it seem like it would have more of an over-arching plot, but once Rin (whom I didn't particularly care for anyway.) was introduced it pretty much became a gag comic. Oh well, it was still cute, and I did really like Nene/Makoto

Madoka's mam is the coolest ever in this. [Was freaking out; turns out she's just gay. Adorable!]

I always kinda got the feeling Minase didn't enjoy doing yuri :/ i dont know why but just some of the comments she has made about her work just felt like she didn't really like it............at all, which is sad cause she is great at it.

Why would she draw it then? I thought doujin was of a mangaka's own volition, they didn't get paid to draw it in the first place, like.
