So the two girls who were in a idol group together left the group and opened a cosmetic brand together... That's adorable good for them :)

Now kiss!

Pretty kitty, that's too cute.

Ah yes once again I mistaken the pairing for something else. I Thought Chisato was Aoba from new game. :D

Cute!!!

Cute!

Idiot couples sharing a single brain cell, eh?

And a single umbrella
Also, I wanted to point out how fast Dynasty Reader updates. I saw this chapter on the author's Twitter without the English translation earlier today, and just a few hours later, it's already on Dynasty.

Wow, I was just discussing this in Sal Jiang's other forum. Glad to see it here so soon! This seems perfect for the Halloween season :)
Edit: With the number of characters shown on the cover page, I have a feeling this series is going to be a long and interesting one.

^ I'm not sure about the character with black hair since we are yet to see her, but the one with red hair is Kang Se Ra, and she doesn't have any tattoos. In the first two chapters, there's already some explicit parts , and we can see Kang Se Ra's arms, which show no visible tattoos. Also good eye! I didn’t notice the pens, I thought the girl with black hair was holding a makeup product since she seems to be getting ready. I also assumed Kang Se Ra was holding an e-cigarette, as they're common in Korea.

Sal Jiang is releasing a new manga. It's named Wicked Spot. I'm not sure if it's a yuri yet, but it looks exciting!

I found a really cute wedding shot of these two :) https://x.com/yuridaisuki25/status/1844495717215428954

The Great Manga Detective (GMD) and his Deadbeat Assistant (DA) are discussing the case of "How to Break a Triangle":

DA: So you still think Erica is the guilty party responsible for Aya's disappearance?
GMD: Absolutely! When deciphering fictional cases like these, motive is paramount over evidence. Erica has all of the motive among the three friends. She an obsessive loner with no social skills.
DA: But what was the means?
GMD: I dunno. But it probably wasn't magic or yokai. Maybe Erica's grandfather was an eccentric scientist who dabbled in suspended animation, and invented a stasis capsule.
DA: That's pretty contrived as well! Literal plot device!
GMD: But I have to confess something. Something that has been bothering me for awhile....
DA: What's that?
GMD: I think we have misunderstood Miss Erica's motive.
DA: We have?
GMD: Absolutely. In the conversation between Erica and Aya (and the flashback) a few chapters back, Erica accused Aya of keeping her relationship with Koto secret. But the tone of the question, and indeed the person she was asking were off. If Erica was accusing anyone of keeping a relationship secret (which is suspicious anyway) it would have been Koto. It's not a question you would pose to someone Erica would have considered an outsider or an Intruder, since she and Koto had been friends previous to meeting Aya.
DA: OK.
GMD: So that's when I realized that if Erica's motive was jealousy towards Aya over Koto, which is what we've assumed, then the whole plot makes no sense.
DA: It doesn't?
GMD: Think about it. If Erica wanted Aya out of the picture, then why not just KILL her? Then stage her disappearance or make it look an adult pervert offed her. If she had the resourcefulness to keep Aya to herself for seven years, it would have been much easier to commit murder than go through all of the trouble of kidnapping and keeping her alive, which leads to a messy denouement anyway.
DA: A dead end really. So what's her real motive.
GMD: A really twisted plot development. Erica LOVES Aya, not Koto.
DA: WHAT?! But we assumed...
GMD: Again, think about it! Aya has no family anymore. Her mom's probably dead, and her grandparents are definitely dead. If Erica put her on ice for seven years, the time gap would destroy all of her peer relationships, especially with Koto. She's now exactly the kind of person who nobody would notice being in distress or duress. Predators like Erica are opportunistic, going for easy prey. Plus the theme of this manga is letting go of the past and evolving forward. If Erica is fixated on a fourteen year old girl, whose youth she can preserve despite the march of time, then she is even more of a twisted monster than we've assumed.
DA: Where the story is at now, Aya is staying in Erica's apartment, after breaking the leg of the triangle that keeps her connected with the wider world..... She's in danger.

Wow! Thanks for this! It's interesting to see other people's perspectives on the series.
On another note, This chapter was painful to read, it felt like they were trying so hard to mend their relationship without proper communication :(

This is where I start to get confused. Throughout all 100+ chapters, the relationship between Oosawa Mitsuki develops in a very yuri and romantic way. For Arai-sensei to say she wouldn't consider calling this work yuri seems quite odd. I'm not trying to criticize Arai-sensei, but I'm just confused by how she label the series compared to what it's actually about. A friendship manga isn't likely to develop into a yuri romance unless it's queerbaiting. I've read Arai-sensei's previous works, and they're yuri, so she clearly knows how to write in that genre. She knows what she's doing, like in My Female Friend Comes Home to Me Every Now and Again.

^I get you it is funny, It happens to me almost every time Dynasty updates its images. But it's also helpful because it sometimes helps me discover a new pairing or reminds me of one I haven't seen in a while. :)
