Well even if Sungji lied, isn't that normal? I mean she has been seeing her gf and the ex she cheated her with together for some days. It is normal to feel threatened and jealous.
It is a more normal than being unaffected

OP I think making a Fanfiction account and writing your story there would be a better idea.
Just need to improve on your plot more though. Remember, story gotta have a purpose too, not just throwing some random scenes together.

I haven't read the translation, so I might be wrong, but seems like Seju is kinda plating dirty if she didn't tell Sungji that the scarf was for her.

Also another thing that id bothering is how these two seem to fight for Sumin, as.if Sumin is not someone who can chose on her own. Well she has already chosen Sungji so I really don't see the point of dragging this for this long.

thanks to work, I miss the last chapter but holy sh*t I feel like TG is leading on TeamPink into believing this ship has a chance to sail when it already sank a long time ago lol

Let's be honest. It is the only plot that keeps this manhwa going. They are milking it as much as possible.

the downside of seeing Seju and Sumin's past is it shows how shallow Sungji's connection with Sumin has been. I think Seju and Sumin had more meaningful conversation than TeamBlonde ever had throughout WDTFS when it should have been the other way around.

I know right. Seems like teamblonde will never get an equal development in their relationship after all. All they do I getting jealous and having sex.
Sumin and Seju seem like a married couple.

How convenient that Nammi shows up again now, near the end. Kinda makes me think of a Nami x Seju ending. I always felt that about her character

at least this statement:

Team Gaji themselves have said that the story was originally about Sumin and Sungji, and then they added Seju. Seju was born unplanned :P

is really underestimating. And that the whole story was planned before the serialisation.

When coming up with a very basic story and characters, way before even starting to serialize it, all of the characters are not the same . Stories and the details come up next.

I was joking in the "Seju was born unplanned". It was an exaggeration of the fact that Seju's character, according to what they've said for her and the context about her role for the story in the beginning, was not meant to have such a big role.

Example, when Lezhin was promoting their Yuri mangas, they had Sumin x Sungji for wdtfs. Like Love Doctor had that blonde x brunette main couple etc.

To me all these clues, as well as Sumin's and Sungji persistent fluffy moments until even now, makes mw believe it was always about them. And the fact that TG had said this about Sejus role too adds up.
They have been building a whole fan base around Teamblonde. Maybe people in this forum mostly lean towards Seju, but that's not the general case outside.

To me it would be better love story if Sumin and Seju ended up together, after all what happened to them. They have a special connection that TeamBlonde didn't manage to create that for me personally.
We could take a chapter and really analyze the heck out of it. And that's what is nice with stories. People can see one thing from different perspectives, according to their own beliefs and feelings.
But, this doesn't mean that when the author was writing it they had the same thoughts as the reader though. It is subjective.

very impossible.. how come that Seju character was born unplanned when the "getting caught" scene of ch56 was planned waaaaay before the serialisation began. (official source).
season 2, review:
http://imgur.com/a/zLKPX

The story was originally about Sumin and Sungji. Seju was added later and she wasn't planned beforehand. They said this during first arc. Serialization and idea of story is different. When coming up with a very basic story and characters, way before even starting to serialize it, all of the characters are not the same. Stories and the details come up next. They couldn't have planned all 80+ chapters beforehand.

What I'm trying to say is, Sumin and Sungji came first and then they added Seju and the cheating situation. It could also be that they didn't plan on giving Seju such a big role in the story, but it happened. Which is common thing in storytelling.

In my opinion, TG never intended to give Seju a major role in the story. I mean she's playing the part of the crazy ex-girlfriend but because her backstory and relationship with Sumin tells a more compelling story than Sungji whose only problem in life is how to have sex with Sumin as much as she can throughout the whole manhwa, TG doesn't have any choice but to keep squeezing Seju between the main couple to continue the story (and the cash flow) TG should have created a crazy ex girlfriend that can easily be written off.

Team Gaji themselves have said that the story was originally about Sumin and Sungji, and then they added Seju. Seju was born unplanned :P
Can't find the source though, but it was from an early interview.

Nora, please give me a site where to find the news about end of wdtfs

ah, I don't have such a thing.. all I know that MayScan provided a translation of the radio pod-cast by the writer. That translation said something about the Manhwa ending in June.. which turned out to be impossible.

Ah sorry guys I don't have the links saved. It was translated from /u/ though.
And since last year's ending of second arc, it has been mentioned the length of third arc. I don't remember the exact number they had said, but it was definitely around the 80 mark chapters.
However this doesn't mean they won't extend it further again.

Imagine being the voice actress of an echhi anime and having to play it cool and laugh it off when it comes to these scenes. Like oh, it's not embarrassing at all that i recorded all those weird noises

The way the story is now, it seems really strange if it ends next chapter. It seems quite possible they'll get some extended chapters too. But this feels like they're trying too much to get as much money as possible by adding unecessery chapters.
If they really cared only for the quality they would get to the point sooner. It's been a long ride already

Well after this chapter I'm almost convinced Fujiwara has actually a crush on Takeda. Because he sent that picture to everyone after he saw Takeda hugging Yuma. Plus his face when he saw them seemed like jealousy.

Damn this is gonna be a real mess now. I really hope they don't become target of homophobic students now.

Agh I hate Team Gaji for still making me like Sumin and Seju more.
Even though Sumin and Sungji have romantic and sincere moments now, the vibe I get from the Sumin and Seju feels more right. Sumin x Sungji is technically the healthier option, but it feels like something's missing.

Sungji's character has slightly but noticeably changed since Seju coming to the house and I admire how she is being the bigger person here to throw a party for the person her gf cheated her with, however.

I was hoping that this would almost be over but i guess it's one of the flaws of melodramas, they tend to drag out to long. They've extended it before so i won't be surprised if they do it again.

This chapter felt so unnecessary. Nothing helping the plot.

They better deliver a good ending. Because this Seju dragging until the very end only to fill the chapters is annoying. They need to at least give her a good purpose besides third wheeling.

Just read a few pages back about Dawoonx Sungji ending.

Guys first of all Gaji has said that there will be a lawyerxDawoon ending lol.
And even if this wasn't true, a Dawoon x Sungji would be really out of place for an ending. Dawoon was a girl that was more of a filler of a character rather than an important one.
Having developed Sungji and Sumin so much, only for Sungji to go back to an insignificant character would be really weird.

The way I see it when sungji said to Seju that it must be hard to love someone you can't have, it was about seeing the situation from Seju's pov and empathizing with her. Not that she started realizing that she is not that much in love with Sumin.
Maybe that's also one of the reasons why she is able to tolerate Sumin interacting with Seju, after getting cheated on. Because she understands how complicated their situation is.

Well not sure about Sungji being more mature. I'd call her more emotionally stable. Because her life was way easier than Sumin and Seju's.
It's way easier to fall into emotional traps when you are really burdened by all these situations

That's a fair assessment. I'm seeing a Seju x Sumin ending really difficult.

Perhaps that's going to be the healing factor: Sungji healing these two broken women

The key is that it seems Seju also is accepting Sungji too. And Sungji also accepts the fact that Sumin has feelings for Seju.
It's a thin balance. If one of them was a bit different, well Sungji mostly, it would be difficult for Sumin to move on too.
Because if she was jealous and didn't allow Sumin to see Seju, it would create more frustration and Sumin would suppress her feelings more. As a result Sumin having not dealt with her emotions, she would still not fully moved on from Seju. And if Sungji kept pushing her, maybe Sumin would even go see Seju behind her back.
So maybe Syngji knows that too, and knows the best way to win Sumin.

spits the tea I am drinking
I hope what I'm thinking is what Sungji really means. cross fingers

Winning as Seju winning Sumin over Sungji?

I can finally say I appreciated Sungji's character.
The way she is built, it seems to be the person that will help Sumin and Seju's conflict to end. She is being tue bigger person here, helping someone who asked her gf to cheat on her with.

I don't see a Seju x Sumin ending, but I see them all three being friends in the end and hanging out together.

There was no "bait" - all of this was integral to the show as a whole. It wasn't something they could just ad or remove to target customers.

They could remove some scenes of episode 8 in season 1.
Reina saying she liked Kumiko.
Reina saying she likes pain and Kumiko responding "that's hot"
Then also Reina running her finger on Kuniko's lips.
Those are clear sings of sexual tension. Noone can say this is just Kumiko being weird, because she didn't do anything like that with anyone else. And that was Reina reciprocating too, as well as getting jealous over Shuichi in some instances.
And if not remove the scenes, slightly change the dialogues to make it seem more friendly and less romantic.

If the this was a guy and a girl doing exactly the same things like Reina and Kumiko, no one would doubt they have feelings for each other.

So is that a season 3 or ovas?
I dreaded a continuation of Season 2 tbh. Because there had been lots of signs that this would end up in het at some point.

Reinas super detailed flustering over Taki was a big foreshadowing of het to me. And also what made me drop the show. I haven't watched it past episode 8 of season 2 and I don't plan to.

The bait is way worse than a genuinely het show. I'd rather have them make Kumiko and Reina completely straight than this. It felt like a big middle finger to queer people. As if they were trying to erase their existence, saying this is just a phase.

I'm trying to avoid getting political in anime, and it's something I don't like seeing either. But Hibike is just an exception. They had been saying this is bot a romance anime, yet there are lots of romance situations in the anime. These produsers are either really really dense, or very snaky and try to false pander to all audiences.

I genuinely expect a Kumiko x Shuichi ending by the end of it.
At least if this didn't get a third sequel, we would have a Kumiko chooses Asuka gay ending to rub into the het fans face.

I described it as precariousness earlier. I find the intense moments of fluff and happiness contextualized by persistent dread and an inexorable feeling of doom oddly engaging, and depressingly familiar.

This is probably due to the fact that Mimika has sexual feelings that finds hard to control sometimes for a child

There is a term for characters who are crazy like yanderes but without the romantic feelings. It's called "yangire"

Latest chapter feels kinda out of place, because there was no sign of this story going darker. It felt quite fluffy and drama free. ( besides the age factor that seems to be a minor thing here)

if you could see the plot twist, then it won't be shocking XD

Well it's not like it would be out of the blue if they ended up together tbh. Their development could easily lead to that, had it not been Gaji also focusing a lot on Sungji and Sumin and how happy they make each other.
And as well as th fact of how popular and "cute" couples like TeamBlonde are. I have experienced their wrath first hand, imagine what would happen if Sumin and Sungji didn't end up together. Seju's life would be in danger lol

Not at all close to happening, i know, but Imagine the comment if sumin and seju will end up together. XD

Well, that works perfectly to Lezhin's "shocking plot twist".

I wonder if that was even true, the existence of a plot twist. At this point the only shocking twist would be Sumin and Seju together again. Which I still highly doubt

I've always viewed the purpose of this healing story is to actually make them forgive each other.. not a mere walking away and starting over a new relationship.

It would make more sense. Because imo Sumin and Seju have stronger development.
But that doesn't mean anything still.

Possible outcomes of next chapter:

1- Seju leaves and gets abducted/hurt/intercepted by the Assassin

2- Seju doesn't leave and locks herself in the room and more pointless drama between the triangle

3- Seju leaves and goes to the office since she has like a bed there or at a hotel and is fine and reflects on all the stuff that happened

4- Sumin chases after Seju because she feels guilty and worries that Assassin will finally get into Sejus pants (lets face it, Sumin can't still handle Seju with someone else)

5- It could be another pointless filler

6- Sungji arrives and things go into more drama and hopefully Seju is still mad and they all confront each other

7- Sungji arrives reads the atmosphere wrong and ends up on a threesome

What do you guys think would happen next?

1 and 5 for me. And then wrap everything up in the very last chapter
