more accurately, she did a half-hearted job, partly due to overconfidence-fueled carelessness and partly due to rushing. In that case, if she was convinced she wouldn't make a mistake and had a single-minded focus on getting done ASAP, it's only natural that she'd prioritize speed over quality.

There is not a single programmer who has worked in a professional environment for longer than a week who would write a bunch of code and not test it to see if it works before turning it in. That just doesn't happen, it makes no sense what so ever. Its clear you and the author have never done proper coding. There is no speeding through a project long before the deadline and not running it at least once to see if it works. And your "more accurate" is just made up, she isn't over confident at all. She is nervous and trying to impress her boss, and her excuse for not testing it was that she thought if it worked in one instance then it would work in all instances, which is a mistake no programming student after their first semester would make. And we are to believe that someone who already made at least one game made this stupid mistake? puh-lease... she should have been laughed out of the office and put on coffee duty until her internship was up.

Well, I don't see anyone else having problems understanding what was going on, so....

Yeah, cause its just another brown turd on top of the shit pile that is this manga. Plenty of other crap to complain about than focus on poor continuity in the art.

Love coming here to see almost everyone getting tired of what I saw coming the moment the experienced programmer Tsubame forgot to test her code before turning it in. The moment the author tried adding drama was when this series nose dived.

If it's intentional then I'm just sorely disappointed. Only way it could be worse is if she was a clone of Touko instead.

Same hair style and color and same eye color as Yuu. This is either intentional or lazy.

Guess I was misremembering that part.

You weren't even remotely close to what actually happened.

To everyone that didn't like the first chapter... What, do you all hate fun?

Bad writing, boring characters, and cliche plot isn't "fun". Chapter 2 didn't help with the "no homo" and everything after is mundane. Characters remain unlikable throughout.

Btw i thought the trip after graduation was their honeymoon not just a regular trip.

Why would really close best friends go on a honeymoon?

Okay, nipping the whinefest in the bud:

By explaining exactly why the whining is justified and that you think your goggles take precedent over the fact that there are canon het pairings.

Who believe that in the end of 2019, someone is serious about calling Skurako and Kasumi relation "subtext" ? The only one open with the relation is Moka, Riruko is more reserved about this and i don't think she is ready enough to assume it fully. Sakurako and Kasumi don't "hide" behind anything since everyone and their dogs can understand they love each other, well everyone expect you apparently. You know that reals couples don't make out and talk about their relation all the time .

It's 2019 and you still can't admit that you are fine with subtext yuri. It doesn't haven't to be a taboo word, embrace it if you think it's fine. I still read and enjoy the series, I'm just not dumb enough to claim it's anything but subtext.

They already state that they don't feel the need to put their love into words or actions because they don't see the point.

They don't want to put it into words but you and I do. I call it subtext, you don't. But just remember that when they moved into a new apartment Kasumi wanted to get separate beds.

But i guess you need to see them fuck like rabbits on screen to get off the subtext

Nope, I already stated that proper confessions or even a romantic kiss that doesn't involve sharing candy would be fine. But I guess strawmen are the only things youre comfortable with arguing.

Context means nothing to the yuri police, folks. Don’t bother engaging.

Context is what subtext is built around. Such as the context of one couple being in an open lesbian relationship while the main couple still hides behind cheek kisses.

Eh, I'll give you the "no sex", but Sakurako has been very clear about her feelings, and this is one of the most romantic kisses in existence.

Really low bar if a kiss on the cheek is one of the most romantic kisses you have ever seen.

People only said subtext because they're frustrated that Sakurako and Kasumi does nothing explicitly romantic

Literal definition of subtext.

Not everyone needs confessions. And what makes all of the kisses that they've had not romantic?
This argument has already happened so many times, so please don't start it again.

No, some people just need two girls on the same panel. Doesn't mean I should lower my own standards. Almost every single kiss has a non romantic reason behind it to explain why they did it besides being in love, such as sharing a piece of candy. And no, I was directly replying to someone so how am I the one starting this? It's already started.

That comment very much reeks of bait.

Must be easier to call my post bait rather than explain why one couple is in an open relationship that explicitly has sex while the main "couple"s most romantic moment is a kiss on the cheek.

It simply means that the author is rejecting.labels.

Except the author was more than happy to label it "girlship" and "not yuri". She seems to love labels.

What subtext ? Why people still talk about subtext ? I dunno if living together throught HIgh school and college and planning to stay together after college is tangible enough for you, it's just could be just a heavy case of friendship. In all seriousness, there no subtext whatsoever or maybe in the first volume and again it's not very subtle. It's worth buying it, even if honorofics are absent because it's an english release.

7 years, no confessions, no romantic kisses, no sex. Come on, meanwhile their lesbian friends are open about the fact that they are fucking. It's subtext, plain and simple. This series will pull a symphogear and get an off-screen confession after the credit roll.

End was rushed and author try to make a wave by throwing the poly ending and it work.

I actually really don't think that's true. Of course I can't prove it and you might be right, but there was enough groundwork to at least give the poly ending some legitimacy. Or rather I really think it was the intended ending from the beginning.
I'm not saying it was necessary or well done, but saying she threw it in for a little more of a splash is a bit harsh.

No, it's not. There was no basis for a poly ending. Taru and Amane have zero romantic chemistry. It was just a love triangle, and a shitty triangle formed from one character having mental issues. The poly ending was the author saying "fuck it" after their shit got cancelled.

Bad story couldn't sell so author decided to go out with a bang by having an even worse ending.

Everyone knew Rin was gay, Kou is the one in question and this chapter doesn't help answer that at all.

For fuck's sake Grindman, I know Someone Is Wrong On the Internet but for the better part of a week you've posted about nothing but. Leave it already.

I made 3 posts in the last 5 days but I'm the one being reprimanded and not the person who is insulting other readers over opinions. I see I pinched a nerve.

Wow, obsessed much? We both made our opinions clear several posts ago.

Give it a rest.

So you can hate on people and call them idiots for their opinions all day long but when someone calls you out they are the obsessed ones that need to move on? Irony at its finest.

I'm not upset in the least, and I'm not particularly a fan of Kodama's work. Your--obviously heartfelt--personal opinion of what the raws supposedly reveal has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the fools who lament what a story is probably going to do before they have read it.

You can say "We have the raws! We have the raws!" until you're blue in the face--people who criticize stories they've never read are idiots.

Nah, it's pretty obvious you're upset. People don't like stories all the time because they see where they are heading and yet you sit here and call those people idiots. People drop series because of this, people dropping Kodamas shit before it finishes doesn't make them idiots. And yes, what the raws show definitely has something to do with people who are judging before finished reading. It shows that they were right, that their judgement was correct and justified. And anyone calling them idiots beforehand are the idiots instead. You can learn from history and see this shit from a mile away, sorry that you are unable to do this and instead try to insult the people who can.

I really don’t know what your “point” is. Are you saying that every negative commenter here has read the raws? Are you saying that everyone agrees that the raws reveal the story to be trash?

I’ve been making fun of people who complain, in advance, about stories they haven’t read, and will probably continue to do so. You enjoy doing whatever it is you think you’re doing.

Except those people you are "making fun of" are actually right, and we have the raws to prove it. We know what kind of writer Kodama is, so much so that people are able to correctly guess the course of her telenovas after a single chapter. It's sad that her melodrama is so damn predictable. You just seem to be upset that people have valid reasons to dislike Kodama and her stories.

No, it doesn't, we have the raws. What are you not understanding about that? We know exactly where this is going, no guess work or assumptions needed.

I understand that you think that.

So you are actually denying the fact that we have the raws and know exactly the kind of drama that is about to go down? Fucking really?

Kodama has written some junky stuff, and some that isn’t, so much. Which one this will be remains to be seen.

No, it doesn't, we have the raws. What are you not understanding about that? We know exactly where this is going, no guess work or assumptions needed.

In other words, a lot of guessing.

Did you not even attempt to read the post? We have 5 chapters in Spanish. We know what happens, its Kodama's same old low grade song and dance.

Kodama back with the melodramatic trash it seems. Her one shots and shorts can be good. Any series beyond 3 chapters has no hope.
