I think Kotooka somehow, ALMOST realized how silly she was being trying to justify pushing Asakura onto Shiratori. She wants to remain friends, because she doesn't want to ruin what they have right now. When Asakura uses the exact same excuse, she gets pissed and frustrated because any sort of rebuttal would be a rebuttal against her own excuse! The struggle is real! xD

No, it's different, at least for me she gets pissed because even if they feel the same way... he is a man, something that Kotooka no matter what can not be, so seeing him in the same position, with feelings of love but saying "nah, it's cool" piss her off, damn I would've be pissed too because she wants to be in his shoes and take the chance but she has fears and doubts because of society, the feelings of Washio and whatnot. That doesn't make her insane like some people say ._.

Some of you seem to want the fluffy yuri, the kiss and happy ending but Kootoka (that knows the secret of everyone except Subaru because it doesn't matter) knows very well that at least one will get hurt pretty bad, in top of that is one of her friends who will surfer and on top of that even if she gets love, there's that fear that it won't last because the obvious reasons.

Not only I would be frustrated, I will get fucking pissed and sad... You guys might have better ideas or a course of action to deal with a lesbian love triangle between friends, and one without the "fuck society and the future!!" I hope, but of course in an spectator point of view, with cool mind and without fear or attachments, it's easy.

Maybe later we will see Washio or Tsukasa getting mad and saying "What gives you the right to decide that for us?!" and you know, that will piss me off.

Great post.
Although I don't agree with the way Kotooka is handling things she's the one I'm rooting for. I have a soft spot for fucked up/self-destructive characters.

This is a Fake, True True, Kimi Koi Limit, Salomelic, Cocytus (I'm putting this one for Cocytus, not Moratorium).

I cried from laughter.

Really? What scene/bit are you talking about?
Plus, didn't Asuka make... a really scary face? Which from what I understood, was Asuka being tilted

Oh yeah, that was really intriguing scene. At first I didn't quite understand it myself but after seeing some comments on reddit there was two theories that explained it better imo, the first one I also considered it after watching the episode, it's that the scene kind of reflects their relationship, how Kaori (and everyone else) puts Asuka in a pedestal, how Kaori worships Asuka and basically neglects to see the "real" Asuka. Which explains why Asuka gets comfortable with Kumiko. See how Reina says earlier in the episode that Kumiko sees through people, Kumiko can also see through Asuka. And the second one: "This shot was more to do with the reveal that she dislikes her mother later. It's extreme to make you question what exactly is bothering her. When it is revealed that it is the hovering of her mom it makes complete sense that she is disgusted by that kind of behaviour."
I'll read the one you linked.
But answering your first question, I was particularly talking about Asuka mentioning Kaori quite a few times, the glasses Kaori got her, the part about biting Kaori because her blood must be tasty etc. As an Asuka x Kaori enthusiast I'm happy with the crumbs.

On episode 9: Asuka x Kaori is sailing. :')

Sistar - One More Day

True, Hotaru has always maintained this emotional distance (that Yuma never caught up on it until she legit physically started leaving her).
The burden between maintain their bff status and her feelings for her puts Hotaru on a different mindset from Yuma's. Hotaru has more or less been lying to her about it this entire time, only sorta saying something like the truth when they last had a talk on their shared balconies (about how Yuma getting a boyfriend made her jealous, made her want to tease her, but it still wasn't the complete truth. Yuma still has no idea what's really going on in Hotaru's mind tbh, and understandably, it's hard because Hotaru doesn't want her to know, hence the distance between them, and why she made a point to ask if they can be friends forever. They're best friends and they care for each other, but there are things going on between them that aren't very typical of usual friendships lol. Yuma has to cross that distance herself tbh, if she wants to "work" whatever's the problem out. It's unlikely Hotaru does anything more direct than flirting with her and brushing it off as nothing serious.
As much as Hotaru is the one to have started it all, this ambiguity, she doesn't have the courage or determination (or believes that she deserves) to pursue more than they have. I think a lot of future development will have to depend on Yuma. Unless something happens on Hotaru's side to incite her/make her want more and act on it, Hotaru will be pretty static about it all.

I share your same opinion, I don't think Hotaru thinks she deserves to persue more nor have the courage to do it either but just like you said that Yuma has no idea what's really going on in Hotaru's mind I also believe Hotaru has no idea what's going in Yuma's either and I think part of the reason why she keeps this emotional distance and has said those things you mentioned it's because she believes that's what Yuma "wants" to hear because she believes Yuma is actually in love with Takeda, that explaining why she has said to Takeda that there's someone out there who likes Yuma but Yuma doesn't like "him", that she's jealous of Yuma and Takeda, and how she tried to set things right by talking to Takeda and later distancing herself from Yuma. I just think Hotaru is almost just as dense as Yuma and their relationship development depending on Yuma is not at all reassuring lol.

Not sure about that. When she kisses Yuma it's because "kissing means nothing anyway". So it seems that she is emotionally distant to Yuma, even though she hasn't physically gone.

Mm I haven't looked at it that way, you might be right... but I don't know, Hotaru always seemed emotionally distant, before she said it was just practice and now she's saying it doesn't mean anything (basically the same thing), that and other things leads me to the conclusion that Hotaru is not really aware of how Yuma feels about her.

It's interesting to see where this goes regarding Hotaru distancing herself, as well as her job. Hope next chapters focuses on this instead of Fujiwara blackmailing again

Hotaru is not distancing herself anymore tho, once Yuma kissed her she was drawn back in just like that.

She keeps the guys around because the whole theme of this manga is NTR. She couldn't be on topic if they stop appearing.
Takeda is already NTR'ed, but now it's also Fujiwara's turn too

Yeah I didn't complain about Takeda being around since I'm indifferent about him, I just don't want him and Yuma to get back together.

Aren't they in some kind of pause or something? I seem to recall he didn't want to break up completely.

Uhm I don't know, they seem done.
But maybe Kodama might put them back together again in the future, I really hope she won't but we can't know with her.

Yuma should have dumped Takeda ages ago. That guy is going to make her life hell once he knows for sure. Either by getting violent or by sending her into a guilt-trip.

Actually, he dumped her. They aren't dating anymore.

Yes, some chapters are missing here. I have my own copy of it, though it's in my native language. I kind of want to translate the "Afterglow Noise" chapter that I really like, but I'm not sure where to send the translated material since I'm not in any translator group...

The truth is, I once tried to sent something I translated using the 'upload request' link before but nothing happened so I'm not sure anymore (lol).

You could start a thread in yuriproject and post your translated material, maybe someone will post tank scans or might be interested in editing.

Same here. Intense, fucked up relationships are more interesting to read about than normal healthy ones.

Agreed.

Is this forbidden ?

Of course not, but once you have your mind made up about something and see things in a certain way it's really hard to change that, just like the person above saying Hotaru ruined Yuma's image to her mom when Hotaru was most definitely trying to make Yuma quit that job by getting her mom scold her about skipping prep school because Hotaru doesn't want Yuma "working in a place like that" like she said so herself.

And it's not like you'll get sympathy from people who actually like the manga and still read it by coming here to post how you'd like to end in het because in your opinion it'd be the better end.

Yeah she talked with Takeda and told him that Yuma was behaving weird with him because there was another "guy" who liked Yuma. And in that chapter she said that person (obv refering to herself) was given up on trying to pursue Yuma.
But then Yuma kisses her and she can't help it.

True, and after chapter 8 Yuma was always the one to go after Hotaru not the other way around, it seemed like Hotaru was really trying to move on, getting a job to get money to move out, being cold to Yuma etc but when she was with Yuma she still teased her a little but didn't go any further which led to Yuma taking the initiative in the last chapter.

I hope this thread can be used by anyone looking for a specific manga. I'm trying to find one about a short mousy girl who moves in with a beautiful blond out lesbian, but only as a roommate. I remember the blond drove a tiny Diahatsu Midget. Even though the blond continues to date other women, it's clear she's attracted to mousy girl and mousy girl starts to return her feelings. I think it might have been 4-koma but after checking that tag and coming up empty, I'm not so sure any more. Any ideas?

Under One Roof?

That's some Yuma level of obliviousness.

Hidden In Dusk?

Nice.

Love Me Softly, Blushing Girl, A Lunch Made with Love, That Sensation, Yearning for Macaron, Sweet Emotion, Halloween Rhapsody, Yappari Idol, Minase Ruruu's oneshots, anthologies: A Knife Edge Girl, Tropical Girls.

I hope there will be more of Yukina x Towako.

On chapter 14: Rise NicoEri.

Cute.

This board has the raws for chapters 7-10 if anyone is interested, chapters 7-8 doesn't load for me tho.
p.s.: I'm not sure if it's okay to post link to boards here if it's not I'll edit my post.

I do believe you do get what I mean by "too straight", you just don't accept someone not supporting your view. ;) But that's okay. I'm not looking for a war here, so I'll just quietly back off now.

Ehh I don't, the only thing it makes me think of it's the way she looks which is the way Yuzu looks/gets dressed too and the very first pages of the first chapter of Citrus is Yuzu being ~too straight~, but whatever.
I wasn't trying to be hostile in my last reply btw.
