I mean, I actually do agree that I want Miyagi to confess and turn dere as soon as possible, and I am anticipating something big soon as I mentioned before, but she has good reasons for trying to set boundaries and wanting a clearly defined relationship, and it can't feel great that Sendai constantly pushes her boundaries without giving her any sense of security in their relationship.

Love is a two way street. It's on both of them to define the relationship and both have valid (from their POV) reasons for keeping things ambiguous.

By pushing boundaries do you mean Sendai initiating intimacy? It's totally fine if Miyagi turns Sendai down when she starts making sexual passes at her, but what about casual intimacy? Like when Sendai gives hugs or kisses here and there and Miyagi often brushes her off?
Sendai has incredible fortitude, because if my "live-in situationship partner" consistently gave me the cold shoulder like that, I'd devolve into a spiral of negative thoughts regarding how my partner feels about me. That they're just putting up with me and don't actually enjoy having me around.

Also, damn, Miyagi really can't live down the running away accusations, huh? Can those who are caught up to the MTL not agree that she has grown past that, and very much demonstrated to Sendai that she has grown past that as well? Guess that one really stuck a nerve with y'all.

Unfortunately I can't yet agree we're past that because Sendai hasn't thought about how she's past that. Around 15-20 chapters or so ago in the MTL Sendai has thought about how she's afraid of having sex because she might tell Miyagi she loves her in a moment of passion. And she's scared of doing that because that might push Miyagi too far, causing her to abandon Sendai.

The way Sendai plays it cool all the time (even though we, as the audience, know better) makes it seem like she constantly has one foot out the door even if it isn't the case.

I've only vaguely been aware of this and kind of mentally wrote this off as Miyagi's abandonment issues from her mother being projected onto Sendai. I'll add it to the list of subtle things I missed when reading the MTL.

They say more to each other in this fanart than they do in the entire Penacony storyline.

For some reason this reminds me of Kara no Shoujo 2.

So that now we've seen the Rei x Shiori meeting arc, the one-sided love arc, the confession arc, the dating arc, and the break-up arc... I still have absolutely no idea why things are the way they are. Unless Shiori and Sono are dating to get back at Rei? For... Sono breaking Rei and Shiori up??

Don't worry, we'll answer that over the course of the next dozen chapters with another flashback :P

We're never going to escape this room. Welcome to the neverending sleepover.

Holy massive blocks of spoiler text, Batman!

First time checking the comments for this one and wow that is a ton of blacked out text in the comments.

From the look of that object, this manga may soon need some hentai tags...and not vanilla ones.

I haven't read this in awhile and it looks like they're still in their sleep over.

They're stuck in that room forever. That's the new plot.

It does feel like that. Surprisingly the flashback started "only" 11 chapters ago in Ch 36 and the sleepover a few chapters before that. Feels like it's been going on for over half the manga though.

This one is definitely going on my list of manga that's better to binge than read as it's posted.

Well it's nice we're unified on loving the Shuukura girls! And we're balancing each other out by each of us feeling frustration with a different girl! :)

I will circle back around to highlighting that my frustration with Miyagi can almost entirely be attributed to the MTL doing her a disservice. I haven't felt frustrated by Miyagi when reading Amawashi's TL.

What is with the "I don't like girls, I just like this girl" thing that constantly pops up in manga? Feels borderline lesbophobic.

My first thought as well. And although I agree with @17hunter00 that there are worse usages of this trope, I don't think that means we should accept it without criticism.

Then there's Rae Taylor, nuking that trope from orbit.

That's why she's one of the GOATs.

Oh my...suddenly got a little spicy in this wholesome manga https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_goddess_spurs_me_on_ch03#21

I'm assuming the tall girl/animator will get a continuation since it cut off abruptly like that.

Without checking, I'm pretty sure Sono is Rei's younger sister that the "MC" has been crushing on. Or did they have a physical relationship?

My memory's getting dodgy as I get older.

She's smart enough to build a robot that can simulate emotions but doesn't include anything like the 3 Laws of Robotics as a fail-safe?
And she tells the robot all that stuff instead of simply reprogramming her? If you see her as a robot then treat her as one...no explanation is owed to "it" before you reprogram.

Kinda breaks my suspension of disbelief. Would be quite the oneshot if those issues were fixed.

^She probably panicked after hearing the wind gust or something and fell over, scraping her knee.
Here we see Stelle picking her up off the ground to comfort the crying Huohuo. Shang shang and Little Gui were too busy flirting nearby to notice Huohuo's plight.

^That was not intended to be Miyagi bashing. It was a defense of Sendai after she was slandered.

I love both the Shuukura girls a ton and especially love them together.

Who's this "Sono-chan" chick and why are we suddenly focusing on something other than our main characters Rei and Shiori?

Kidding, but this has been quite the long flashback. Probably feels much shorter when binged instead of reading as chapters are posted.

Miyagi is just so precious to me. She is definitely of my favorite characters in a story. She deserves someone who will tell her that she is loved and cherished, and she deserves someone to tell her that they want to be with her forever, but unfortunately she is stuck with Sendai.

I definitely like Miyagi the character. Her unique way of going about things is what makes the story so interesting to read.

But I could not disagree more with your assertion that "unfortunately she is stuck with Sendai". Miyagi is someone who finds it difficult to get along with people. Maika being the one exception since she seems to do most of the heavy lifting as far as inviting Miyagi to do things when she'd rather stay inside (which I do find relatable as an introvert).

Sendai is also the one who does a lot of the heavy lifting in maintaining their relationship.
She was the one who came back after Miyagi tried to drive her away during the soda incident.
She's the one who arranged the apartment setup when Miyagi had already given up on their relationship continuing.
She's the one who pushes for both outside dates and gets Miyagi to compromise on at-home dates when Miyagi is resistant to the idea.
She's the one who initiates almost all the physical intimacy, particularly everyday things like quick kisses and hugs. She continues to do so even though Miyagi often rebuffs even small casual intimate acts like that.
And she's the main cook, though Miyagi is no longer a total disaster in the kitchen.

All that heavy lifting aside, Sendai's main flaws are she's hesitant to clearly express her feelings for Miyagi because she's afraid of Miyagi running away (which Miyagi does have a history of doing) and masking her emotions at times because she's afraid of her real self being rejected.
You state Miyagi "deserves someone to tell her that they want to be with her forever", but love is a two way street and Sendai also deserves that. Both are guilty of failing to step up and put their feelings out there.

Sendai is someone who could probably mold themselves to fit a variety of different partners with different personalities.
She wouldn't be nearly as happy as she is with Miyagi though.

Miyagi is much more uncompromising by nature and would find it hard to impossible to be in a relationship with anybody else. But like I often think and have said, "Thank God Miyagi found Sendai because ain't nobody else putting up with her shit".

^Being able to be away from your soul gem is one of the things Homura changed about the world.
Along with yuri babies. She made that a reality so her and Madoka could have some together.

What's up with the title? I read this with apprehension because I'm not into pee play but there's none of that.
Where I'm from, "tee-tee" is an extremely childish term for pee (basically toddlers will use it).

Why was that the term chosen for the title?

i am so unbelievably ready to get hurt again

Same LOL. I can already tell this is going to be angsty but it's been ages since I've actually found any yuri worthwhile. I wish there were more realistic adult life manga out there that deal with homophobia and comphet. They are very much real issues and I find the all girls school, yuri utopias where everybody is gay kinda cringy and unrelatable.

this realistic? the author is not really up there in terms of realism when it comes to relationships for sure LMAO

Doesn't everyone have a friend who had a gay affair with someone they didn't know was married and is now being chased down by their spouse who's demanding compensation? /s

Also the mentioning of comphet and homophobia has me scratching my head.
Let me know if I've forgotten something from earlier chapters since it's been months, but I don't remember either showing up in the story.
The runaway wife might be comphet but we don't know.
The MC seems to have awakened to her bisexuality since it seems she had previously been attracted to at least one guy and had a physical relationship with them.
Has anyone been homophobic?
