Damn this is gooood. I love how all the characters really act their age. It's really refreshing to see characters in their mid 30s act like real life 30 year olds. I feel like a lot of times media always focuses on the teens and early 20s so whenever they write people in their 30s, they come across as like people about to be lowered into their grave hahaha. It's nice to see characters around my age being properly portrayed with their own problems and insecurities. I also like how they write this from Asa's pov. Like how by living with her aunt, learns that adults are real people too.

The topics that are tackled in this manga are handled with so much care and finesse. It all comes across really naturally too. And how the story slowly reveals who were Asa's parents and their relationships to the people around them, ah I love it so much.

I'm really looking forward for more!

This gives me major "At The Bottom Of The Stairway To Adulthood" vibes and I loved that story. I hope it won't actually end with MC x Kyouko because it doesn't seem like she actually likes MC, but loved MC's sister. So to have her end up with the lil sis as a replacement isn't as interesting.

Seeing that it's only 3 chapters, I'm hoping it's a series about discovering what happened between Kyouko and MC's sister and then everyone just growing up a bit from the situation: Kyouko finally moving on, the sister maybe acknowledging her past and maybe apologizing for anything she mightve done wrong, and MC's mindset just actually maturing after having gotten some life experience.

"Run Away With Me Girl" turned out way better than I expected with its premise so I have high expectations that this will end in a satisfying manner too.

Honestly I feel pretty bad for Fuuka. Asahi really is dense lol.

Rushed....but overall not bad. Too bad they didn't develop either of Akira's relationship more. Still just feels like Akira was plugged in there and her chemistry with Rin just isn't there. I liked how they elaborated how Akira loved them both in different ways.

Thanks for translating this. It was fun to read.

Final act already? D;

Sad, but I can't complain too much because I do think the pacing has been perfect so far. I'm gonna miss this series. It has been such a sweet read

it's literally called "my friendship route", maybe y'all should read a title sometime

Yeah there was no misleading at all in the title or tags so ppl needa calm down on the hate. I still enjoyed it because I really liked Ultear, but every single story really would've been improved if they ended in yuri lol

I watched the first 3 episodes first and then caught up with the manga after. I didn't mind the filler ep. I felt it was a fun, weird story that gave us some nice yuri moments. Seeing the differences between eps 1 and 2, I enjoy both for different reasons. I like how the anime is going the more mystery route. They don't explain much and it gives it this choppy uneasy feeling that keeps you watching because you want to find more answers. I like that the manga fleshes things out more so you know more about the world. I think the manga also follows a more standard plot pacing.

I was really disappointed with ep 4 though. I don't like that they skipped Kisaragi Station because I think that the character development that happens for Sorawo there, makes a lot more sense for how Sorawo acts in Space Time Man. Like her confidence when she's the leader for the first time. I also thought it was ridiculous that they shoved 10 chapters into 1 episode. They took away a lot of what I enjoyed in that arc. Discovering the photographs was some of the creepiest shit that happened in the manga and I was really sad to see it just flash by in 3 seconds. I also wished they did the initial argument better. Their fight in the anime didn't really capture why it would make Toriko disappear on her own.

I'm gonna guess they'll do kisaragi station in one go, back to back. I'm interested to see how it'll go, because I do think that by having the time skip like they did in the manga really added to the impact of the rescue later on. Also I think Sorawo did a ton of character building in Space Time Man arc, which they didn't capture too well in the anime. I guess we'll just see.

Sigh the problems that come after seeing another source that let's you compare changes. Maybe I should've put off reading the manga until after the anime finished haha. At the pace it's going though, I think it'll pass by the manga soon though.

Should've been yuri, but I am now also part of the Ultear fanclub

I think MC is really relatable. The conflict of "acting natural" yet unsure if you can since you are a fan is done well. I think MC is doing a good job of respecting the idol's space after the whole pseudo handshake thing lol.

Yesss now the real fun begins! Let the Yandere x MC ship set sail!

Pres/mc is my favorite pair, but it's probably gonna be a harem end. What mc desires most is attention after all. She'll be getting plenty with all these lesbians going after her hahah

Damn, the best credits page ever. It really made me go back to do a double take xD

Love this series. It really knows how to present horror. It does a great job creating this feeling of uneasiness and dread and when the monsters are revealed, they never disappoint and are truly horrifying. Great series to get the blood pumping

Hahahaha chapter 1 made me do a double take at the tags and even go into the comments to see if there were people complaining about a boring male protag. I was pleasantly surprised.

Interested to see where this is going!

Totally wasn't expecting this to turn into a harem lol. I like the smell pervert the most. Normal(ish) with just a hint of perviness.
