I feel like Akira accepted the poly for the sake of the blonde. Only the other two were into the poly part. It was a nice manga overall but wish it was longer. Mayuki was also one adorable lesbean.

yeah i feel like akira and rin just agree for the sake of their loved ones, neither akira x rin nor akira x mayuki were properly developed, the manga was mostly rin x mayuki mayukis one sided feelings towards akira and akiras one sided feelings toward rin, but the three are happy so i guess it´s a happy ending
.Also akira bieng jelous of mayuki and triying to steal rin from her didn´t help either

@Namyks everything in super is lame AF., the only cool things are lesbian saiyans and the new broly desing and backstory

this final "arc" reminds me to that chapter from nettaigyo wa yuki where konatsu wannted to know why koyuki talked to her when they meet and it turned out to be a coincidence and konatsu was really hurt because she want it to be something special,
i love nettaigyo but i think nekotaro made a better job solving the issue

the last volumes of this manga have been a rollercoaster of emotions (mostly sad ones), but this chapter made everything worth

Imagine buying an anthology titled "I'm the Villainess, but the Heroine's Trying to Capture Me?!", seeing it marketed as "girl x girl relationships, with a focus on Heroine x Villainess," and then getting queerbait and het stories.

this

regardless of gender/sexuality stuff, i find it pretty reasonable to want characters with similar levels of depth to be paired together, not have an entire story dedicated to a certain pair, and then have one of them married in the last page to some nameless cliche.

also this

i was not expecting to find another story from this anthology that i disliked more than the previous one. my biggest problem isn’t the het(although i mean cmon y no yuri)it’s just that it comes out of nowhere.

hibike euphonium and amanchu flashbacks

also yeah my b, i didn´t read the tags properly, i just read it because it was part of the anthology, big mistake
i guess i got korra´d again

Mei is either uncommunicable, dumb, or a witch. LOL. Yuzu is a doormat, lazy or a fraud. I guess I look for that one honest moment where they connect and truly understand each other,

i think the "perfect date notebook "arc was suposed to be that moment, when i started reading it i was like "yes this is it chief" for me that was the perfect moment to expose and fix the fundametal flaws on their relatioship. flesh out mei, give her a personality and agency on the story
Mei wanting to change for yuzu and triying to be her ideal partner was something i legit didn´t expect and really raise my hopes, sadly nothing actually changes because mei is perfect and doesn´t need to change a thing

And sometimes it’s brought up once and then disposed of, as was unequivocally done in Chapter 4 of the main series, when the grandfather, after describing how he was too harsh and inattentive regarding his granddaughter, says to Mei,

“It’s time for you and you alone to decide how to live your life.” (Emphasis in the original)

The engagement was "resolved" a full chapter earlier (end ch2), consider instead that the conversation was, unsurprisingly, about the arc that filled the chapter immediately leading up to it: it was about his impulse to lock Mei away (and expel Yuzu) afterwards to keep her safe, instead of trusting her judgement, and the only result was letting her return to her new home (if she wanted to), and associate with Yuzu again.

you´re dismissing a direct quote from the manga and giving it the meaning that fits your narrative, at that point the misunderstanding was already clear he already told yuzu that se wasn´t gonna be expelled, the conversation was clearly about inheriting the school and the marriage

It was only in ch28 (after various "tests" earlier) Mei finally concluded she was in love with Yuzu (which is why she was finding herself unable to resist doing things she knew she shouldn't).

that doesn´t make mei look any better, if that was the case she kept doing thing despite knowing that she was gonna hurt yuzu
either mei was aware of the engament from the beggining,hurt yuzu consiously and saburo uta is a genuis or she didn´t and was a vitciim of the situation and couldn´t say no (wich makes her love for yuzu questionable but at least plausible)
you can´t have both

^^ i didn´t say that i didn´t like it again it was really cute, i know that is not a bildungroman but at the start of the anime they have this monologue about how they are draggin each other down etc etc then both start attending class, adachi starts hanging out with shimamuras friends (even by herself at some point) and it seemed like she was starting to connect better with people
so when adachi talks to shimamura on chapter 11 i tought that maybe she was going to try to fit with her new classmates for shimamuras sake, so when instead of that both decide to isolate themselves it was kind of jarring
again i enjoy the anime it was cute, it was fun overall, just that moment made my raise my eyebrow

i literally just finish the anime and i have mixed feelings, it was really cute but i thought that they were going to help each other overcome their issues but at the end shimamura is still emotionally distant with people and adachi gets worse she´s still a loner and gets so possessive and dependant of shimamura that is kind of worrying

You seem very concerned with right/wrong and fault, I don't actually recall much in-text blaming - we see some of Yuzu's regrets and self recriminations because it is primarily from Yuzu's pov; we don't see the same from Mei because we don't see her pov (Mei is presented as an enigma, the way she appears to Yuzu).

it doesn´t matter because again there´s not a single instance of mei taking action to solve a problem or emend her mistakes at the end is always yuzu powering everything by herself

In your example above a bit of selective memory seem to be at work - Look back at what was actually said and how:

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/citrus_ch24#26

Mei said that they can't control what other people think. After that Yuzu asked if she could stay be her side, etc and after a long pause and with an expression that certainly wasn't happiness or confidence Mei agreed with a simple yes. She was cornered, with Yuzu crying on her shoulder, it was the only thing she could say (and even as she doubted it it's likely she wanted it to be true). Mei's inner conflict was blatantly advertised.

As for hurting herself, Mei wore Yuzu's ring secretly the whole time they were apart, she didn't do that for kicks.
i am gonna be honest

you can give the meaning you want to that chapter, despite her best intentions everything she said ended up being a lie and my point stands at the end the one that pushes through the problem is yuzu, while mei takes a backseat (as always) while given all the excuses of the world
