Ok a few more thoughts lol that I'm sure people touched on before, but it also seems like she treats sex and a defense and solution. At the start of their relationship, she thought of sex as something she needed to 'give' to Rena to make her stay. At this point I'm fairy certain she just, y'know, enjoys it, but in her state rn she knows it's something that makes her happy and Rena happy, so as long as they keep doing it, they'll always be happy. And again, I don't think Rena sees any of this as a red flag, because she likes sex! She's the one who suggested the two day binge! And if anything she's might be thinking it's a relief Yuna has enough energy to have sex despite being tired all the time, it could be seen as a good thing.
But even if she just, like, really horny now, no undertones, she's still using it defensively! If all they do when she is awake is have sex, they don't need to talk about anything, and she falls asleep right after, so nothing at all can be said.
Thank you, I just read the whole series up to now, I had thoughts, I had worms.

Definitely not reading this as a specific sleep disorder, despite being disordered sleeping. I think this chapter goes through the details to make me interpret this as a symptom of anxiety and depression, which I've definitely been seeing noticing signs throughout the read. I don't know enough about BPD to concur w the poster above, but I think we're seeing similar signs. It's a coping mechanism.

Her stress is so high because of her inability to talk about what's actually on her mind (because she thinks everything will crumble if she voices anything, despite Rena's assurance). All that stress is physically exhausting. And she doesn't want to be alone, to dwell on all those questions and stress and any potential answer or consequence that could change the status quo, so she sleeps through the day to avoid it. When she wakes up, Rena is there, so everything must be fine. If it wasn't fine, Rena would be gone. So she goes back to sleep. It's the closest one can get to limbo while time still passes.
It's a bad coping mechanism, but one I understand. And we've already seen her being very prone to getting overwhelmed, this is just that to a higher, more debilitating degree. Yuna really hates herself, at some point she even said when she was alone that taking care of Chibi was the only reason she should exist at the moment. Real concerning stuff. I don't think Rena knows how to deal with it, or even know the signs, which is why she just hasn't done anything yet. I think they have hope still but fr. Therapy. NEEDED.

I don't cry over stories often anymore, but page 32, with Kiri sitting in front of her sculpture, held between those hands, actually made me bawl.

Minimalism is one thing but….really ONE plate and fork? You crazy girl

Definitely not minimalist, but I do this too living alone ^^; Dishes pile up too quick if I have any more, so I just keep one set around for myself (though I do have extras set aside just in case I ever do have company lol)

The reveal caught me off guard, but reading back, it seems that any time Hana mentioned getting near the manor, like to get help, Lily immediate dissuaded her but came up with other reasons. She really did know all along...

Ever After High with intentional yuri? I'm having fun with it, even if I agree the plot is very dramatic nothing lol. I am looking forward to Red Riding Hood & Cinderella's chapter; their intro was the most intriguing to me, with whatever 'silver riding hood' means.
Also why do Hansel and Gretel get lips but only when they kiss, that made me laugh so hard.

I'm both rooting for eventual yuri and very nervous if we ever get it, because I think it would trigger an angst arc in what has been a consistently fun and lighthearted time. But Ch36 makes me delusionally believer we might actually get mutual yuri.
But mostly I'm just glad to be getting translations again! These scans were quite honestly my first introduction to Vtubers a few years ago, aside from seeing passing clips and Mori's first few songs, made me understand how the fandom culture around them kinda worked, so when I saw some debuts that caught my eye I decided to tune in.

I'm absolutely losing my mind over the composition of page 14, the mirroring of the movements is SO beautiful and SO heartrending I'm AAAAAAA That page is one of the most wonderful visualizations of yearning I've seen on here. Loved this

All of the club scenes make me so happy in the same ways that going to a real queer club does, I love seeing everyone unabashedly dancing as themselves for the night. The panel I keep coming back to is the establishing shot of the club and seeing the two with pup hoods- it gives me a giddy feeling, seeing something I am familiar with from my own queer experience in a work from another part of the world . It's those little moments of connection, y'know?

On the actual chapter, Bunny is great lol, hope to see him more

Funny enough, a fan who is an animation student made this cute animation short this week and it has me really wanting an anime some day even more than before. I love it when a series I like attracts talented fans for fanart.

TIL via the tags on this that some people shorthand this as "green manga" and man, I love that. Ive never figured out a good abridged version of this monster of a title; it's green manga now (wonderful lil animation too lol~).

Is the Blue Monday song choice part of the meme she's using, or is that an original twist

It's part of the meme, the trend is this song + the fighting game style moves in time + dialogue. Idk lots of couples have done it that I've seen

I wouldn't usually think of Mitsuki having dog energy, but an Akita doesmake sense for her given how stubborn they both are LMAO
and welcome back Narita my boi; I love that panel gag. I really hope with all this talk about "Onii-san and Mitsuki being the same, and more people start putting that two and two together, that anyone brings up that Aya had a legit crush on Onii-san, snd if she thinks of Mitsuki as the same person... Like c'mon, someone, someone put this into words!! Mao and Chizuru better not join Narita's cheer squad in the background and not say anything. Those two are never gonna do anything about it alone!!

Recently I just keep thinking about, no matter how popular this manga gets, a faithful anime adaption is basically impossible due to song licensing issues. Maybe I'm just nihilistic but there's basically no way a yuri manga adaptation could ever afford a Nirvana song. Let alone multiple western rock classics. Just. :'c

I really hope Aizawa-san is at least considered for an anime at some point. It's got all the horror elements I was really interested in from Mieruko-chan without the obsessive groping I couldn't sit through, plus a mystery I'm actually invested in. Also, canon lesbians everywhere.

This chapter oh my god oh my goooooood. Childhood friend amnesia(?) is an odd twist that I'm willing to ride along with. And whatever is going on with young Michi and the previously sealed idol. But my big deal is when she finally looks at Aizawa I'm ;0; I wish they lingered just a little longer on Michi's reaction, it's so heartbreaking. She's just so scared- she finally acknowledged a ghost out of concern for Aizawa and it seemed to prove all her fears right I'm dying here I'm deeeeead OTL

Awww I liked this one; and honestly, for all the density jokes, I was surprised Hinazumi even considered herself so early- usually it goes that the idea it could be herself wouldn't even be an option until the confession. Instead she has to actively talk herself down from the most obvious solution lmao. Makes Seira's gay suffering at the end 10/10 like, girl, of course she doesn't get it, you made her doubt herself!!

What's the likelihood of Sumiko Sensei doing the English translation herself? I feel like it's probably impossible, both the workload of it and behind the scenes stuff working with English publishers that I don't know how it works. But English is a second language to her it seems; it would be so cool to have her translating her own words.
