Crying in 2019 for more ;-;

Kind of cute that Mei didn't want Harumin and Yuzu sharing an umbrella lol.

let's try not to jump to conclusions on Harumi having feelings for Yuzu, Harumi hasn't showed any sign's of any romantic Interest towards Yuzu at all. Harumi is just a good friend to Yuzu that all. She being supported of her best friend Yuzu relationship with Mei.

LOL the denial is strong on this one, I guess people only accept things when they see love declarations from bulding tops or something. Of course Harumin has feelings for Yuzu, I don't know how people still think that was not the case even after chapter 39. But it doesn't need to be like "omg Yuzu is my ONE TRUE LOVE". She has a crush, because she probably likes girls. In a way it's a relief that she has a crush on Yuzu lol if it was some random dude then the HaruMatsu ship would be sailing into the abyss.

I think the drama is going to be about how Matsuri, who is obviously into Harumin, is going to try harder at making Harumin fall in love for her instead. She will have more chances to spend alone time with Harumin now that Yuzu is solely focused on Mei.

The core of the issue here though is that Matsuri seems pretty awkward about these things. She can't express worry without being straight to the point, in a way that probably won't make a super closed-off personality like Harumin open up...also Harumin has shown inconsistent behavior towards Matsuri, it's hard to know if she cares for her or not. Am looking forward to the next chapters!

Probably a bit of both denial and inability to read subtext.

Two more for the boringly perfect and in control blonde girl falls in love with a helpless dark-haired girl who needs her lover to save her pile.
Mao's portrayal was especially disgusting. Kodama made her look like the epitome of the helpless and unlikeable dark haired love interest.
When are writers going to stop adding to these disgusting archetypes and writing original characters and stories?
The year 4001?

Oh, give it a rest please. Whether it's some weird obsession of yours or just trolling, I don't really care.

Nez. Just because you are weird like that, doesn't mean others are too. I remember you commenting on a post, saying that you have fucked a ton of guys and girls, and saying "just because a girl likes sex, doesn't mean that she is a slut". Well that is exactly what it means in your case. A girl liking sex can be split up into two categories. A girl who has a lot of sex with a lot of people, Aka. a slut. Or a girl who has lots of sex with one partner, Aka. not a whore.

Ew. Slut shaming in 2018-2019? Grow up already.

I love the art and color scheme

hopefully the artist won't get into trouble for this but so grateful for the kiss

prays for regular monthly updates

yay fun cliches. honestly what i need right now. hope the updates won't always be ~3 months apart ;-;

I love this series so much ;-;

Me reading this doujin "yeah this is pretty solid, great art, nice setup, hot scenes-"

Character: "even though im in the second year of middleschool!-"

Me: <_<.... hyello? Police?

lmao this was the laugh i needed after everyone's weak "meh there's worse out there" logic to excuse the obvious predatory set up lol. thank youuu.

The one shot ending was more sweet than bitter for me. I like that they became good friends, helping each other navigate the queer dating scene. It reminds me of how I met my best friend/ex in freshman year of college lol.

Rooting so hard for Nozomi and Miyu ;-;

KISHI TORAJIROU! I knew who it was just by the art alone. I need more of this!

Does anyone know who the fiancé is, or have speculations on who he's supposed to be? It seems like he knows Yuzu--and the whole crew--but not sure to what extent.

Have you actually read the manga? She meets him in chapter 35 in a marriage meeting and in this chapter she calls him about expediting the wedding... You know, Yuzu's old boss from the cafe. Udegawa. One who also owned the summer house where the crew spend time in chapters 30-33.

Not as thoroughly as you did! Thanks for the info

"Have you actually read the manga?" was my first thought to that question too. Lmao.

Their art has improved so much over the years! Fun read.

Ooh, I love this! My partner and I have that height difference. (I'm the small top lol)

I wish there was more!

Welp, there goes my favorite ship. The one person who genuinely loved Satou and wanted to help her and be there for her with no creepiness...

This is a really interesting turning point. That's definitely the first of Satou's murders/methods that the sympathetic audience has no real way of justifying (Like the apartment owner attempting to kill Shio, the teacher being a dangerous stalker, the delinquients beating up Mitsuboshi, the coworker also being a dangerous stalker). And Satou still thinks she can justify it to herself because her friend freaked out when she saw her aunt. Or maybe she's just saying that, we know she'd have to kill her either way.

Oh, and her brother finally knows who has Shion now. The final showdown's getting closer!

The moment she took the picture and sent it she showed her true colors of not being a true friend who would stand by Satous side. She easily switched to the brothers side even though she barely knew him.

Did she deserve to die? Of course not. But its less sympathetic when she is a big fat phony. Also, her taste in men in questionable at best.

Romantic interest aside, she was trying to help someone who was missing his sister. Regardless of our feelings and ships, based on what's shown so far, she believed she was doing the right thing for both parties. She wanted to reunite a family as well as stop her friends from falling deeper into these holes they dug themselves. I don't think she loses any sympathy points for trying to do the right thing.

For Satou, this is business as usual. While she did cross a line in a way for some readers, in her own head she simply got rid of another threat to her happiness.

I wish someone could draw up doujins to give us some closure.

A young woman in the modern day has a recurring dream in which she is a young woman called Mihoko in a previous decade. Mihoko lives in an apartment with her lover Kinuko. Mihoko thinks they're happy together, but Kinuko is being urged to marry and can't bring herself to tell Mihoko. Kinuko hangs herself and Mihoko screaming her name after finding her is how the dream ends. The dreamer knows she isn't called Mihoko, she knows she has never lived in a place like that and she doesn't know who Kinuko is, however Kinuko's face feels familiar.

The ending (which is clearly supposed to be significant) seems to be suggestive of past life memories and everything else the mangaka has put in fits well with that. We don't really need any more information for this to work as a good short story.

All other interpretations seem to be people overlooking things or adding complexities that the mangaka has done nothing to suggest.

Thank you. Reading everyone else's comments and seeing them not get something so obvious has been so frustrating.

-Sayumi was rejected by Jun so much, it's developed a huge insecurity even if they've been together for a while.
-Sayumi and Jun suddenly have wildly different schedules and lives. Jun, at no fault of her own, is always coming home late because of college. Sayumi's insecurity becomes triggered by Jun's increasing absence and it manifests in toxic ways.
-They do resolve it at the end when Jun affirms her feelings for Sayumi.

I still don't really think it's cute or fluffy. It shouldn't be the victim's burden to appease the abuser (Sayumi). Everything she's been doing, from the moment she asked Jun out obsessively to controlling Jun's looks and schedule to angrily slamming her into the ground--we would have hated to see a man do that to a woman.

Lol followed this for 5 years. Getting on board the Harumin and Yuzu ship.

Yukino gets waaaaay to much hate. The only thing I disliked about her was that time she Slept with that one guy and that's it. I don't really mind her. She isn't as mature as Setsuko Y'know. She's 18 ( which is the age when teens start doing shit they'll regret later in life ).

I didn't hate her for sleeping with the guy. Her entire conception of her self and her plans for the future were based on her assumption that she was straight. Like, even the fact that she's never really been attracted to men is just explained to her by Japan's cult of female purity, she just assumes that one day she'll meet her future boyfriend and everything will finally click into place.

Sleeping with the guy is a move of desperation, she's not attracted to him. But she's in a really bad place emotionally, and she basically tries to force herself heterosexual... And of course, it doesn't work. It's her lowest moment, but after that she does start to come to terms with herself.

It also kinda demonstrates her changing view of her relationship with Setsuko. When she has sex with the guy iirc she still hasn't really come to terms with them being a couple, in the same way that a man and woman would be a couple. Their relationship is kind of undefined and fleeting - at least to Yukino, who just can't really conceive of two women being a real couple, or of Setsuko being willing to commit in that way. So her sleeping with someone else, especially with a man, is not exactly cheating, because she doesn't know what Setsuko is to her, she doesn't think there's any future there. But later on Yukino does feel guilty over it, because now she thinks of their relationship as real, that they're a couple and that Yukino cheated.

When I was a kid, and not so understanding, I hated Yukino but still loved the story and the progress I saw in her. But after re-reading it (after gaining a lot of adult experiences), I grew to really appreciate and understand her.

And I always appreciate it so much when others understand Yukino (who is 18, uneducated, inexperienced, extremely insecure and all alone in a big city working a shitty job with a heavy past). I'm glad other people get what the writer intended to express in this realistic Japanese adult portrayal of this chance meeting and the progress we see in both Setsuko and Yukino.

I see a lot of my younger, hurt self in attention-hungry Yukino and it's painful to watch someone who have my qualities make these mistakes (some I've made personally). But it was also kind of wonderful to watch her grow emotionally on different levels, for her self and relationship (which took time for her to define and understand for a lot of reasons already mentioned).

Aw, it'd be interesting to see this become a full series.

"Yeah, it kind of does. Jokes are exempted for the simple fact that they are jokes."

I don't know if anyone watches The Office here, but a character named Michael (who is portrayed as endearing but also petty and very ignorant) says this in a few scenes. But when he says it, that's the actual joke. Everyone around him are rolling their eyes or cringing when he says ignorant and insensitive things like that.

To believe that all jokes can be exempted is a joke, a ridiculous thought worthy of satire and ridicule. Just be a better human being and learn to be funny without punching down.

I do find this character to be predatory but obviously the writer is making it into a joke. Because we're complex beings, we can hold both those ideas in our heads without exploding. So calm down, folks.

I wish there was more ; _ ;
