love and hate have a very thin barrier

sequel NOW!!!

Wow kids are sure A-Holes. Just reading this hits close to home. That you act like a adult excuse just pissed me out. Cant wait to read more

I wonder if Tomo is frightened about whether she is like her father and is one of the reasons she keeps Ai at arms length. And you know the whole sleeping with her step mother might have helped as well.

IMO for it to be a triangle there has to be attraction from each side. And there is nothing romantic between Matsuri and Yuzu. So I am no seeing a triangle just yet.(or hell not seeing the problem) I was surprised that no one was gunned down in a hail of gunfire after pg. 37-38.(seriously Mei has one hell of an impressive stare down) LMAO I will keep reading

Maki's indifference is hurting me.... Why did she have to fall for a straight girl...? :CC

indifference? Maki already like someone else and is not being half assed about it. Plus Youko has not even told her face to face that she like her. How could Maki even know when she is not being told?

Have I mentioned that I don't like Maki? Because I don't like Maki. Even if you leave aside possible yuri, that is not a good way to treat your friends.

compared to how Yokuo treated Maki just because she likes someone else. I am in the opposite camp TBH I would rather Maki be with someone else since Youko is so conflicted with herself.

Honestly for me it hinges on whether they can make the relationship shift from friendship to romance and have it believable. Which I do not think they can do that well (from what I have been reading). I do not see where yuri can not mean unrequited which I feel works better in the story than them becoming lovers.

Is it just me or has the story gone from angsty-incest drama to bad fanfic with an all-over the place story line in just one chapter?

Not really you could see it as fanfiction writing from the beginning. This situation that has arisen is no different. My main problem is "I want to protect you but I dont want to to explain or talk to you about it!" just drives me up the wall. The fact is they need to hide they relationship and learn to adjust to life itself. no matter how much they want to stay together all the time they can not without drawing attention. How the younger sister does this is just poorly writing and unnecessary drama. They are two sisters who are in love with each other and go to the same school together. Plenty of drama already that can be used without going into one character decides to be a complete dick to "protect" someone but will not explain it.

Page 23 confuses me. What complicated and clever things was she saying? While she was keeping a wall around her, she is nothing but respectful.

Actually Satsuki is a year older than Ryuuko.

He did not screw up anything. The MC was responsible for that one alone. The MC was really upset because her friend likes Keita. That is not his fault in anyway. Asking that question and a nickname is not the same you have to know that. You can not compare those two. Meanings and motives behind both are too different. I am not defending him but the MC is at fault alone for her problems with Maki.

When it comes to motives, which do you think is better? "Because I'm insecure and feel like I'm losing my best friend to someone detestable" or "because I think it's funny?" As for the meaning, we know that Youko wanted Maki to say that she was more important (which goes with the whole insecurity thing), whereas Keita... likes the name and sees it as a sign of affection, even though it's been made pretty clear that it really bothers her.

And no, if you want to avoid getting into the causal cluster of things, he did not directly cause the issue between Youko and Maki, but he only decided to stop picking on Youko when he thought that he did. Youko being visibly bothered by it didn't stop him. Maki (again, if she even did it) asking him to stop didn't stop him. And Naomi telling him that "Imoko" is a problem and that someone made Youko cry didn't stop him.

It is not about which motive or reason is better. Its about what it the root of the problem. At this point he mostly leaves the MC only and does not bother her. The problem is Youko at this point and her feelings with Maki. Why is he detestable? that is a strong word to use for Ketia. Rude and brash of course but at the moment I will not use such a word. I am only stating you cant blame Keita for everything. At this point we are only going to go in circles so I will say we agree to disagree.

Where is the yuri, Eggman? You said there'd be yuri...

From the summary it seems like it's going to come about in the standard one-sided affection from Youko to Maki while Maki expresses interest in the douche who's yet to do anything that would make him likeable. Yay for jealousy...

I have a feeling that Maki's feelings for keita senpai aren't real, and she's really in love with Youko and can't believe it, so she thinks "maybe it's keita senpai!"

At this point I feel that would be a terrible idea. If they keep this at Youko POV only I do not see how they would make that a good storyline.

I feel Keita gets a bad rap here. Sure he is no prince but I would not call him a jerk or an ass. Stubborn is a better word IMO. However the MC is pulling serious BS with her best friend and need to get her act together. And what she did in chapter 8 was low. At the moment the MC is not likable for me but who knows that can change. I do enjoy the slow pace and hope it does not go to fast.

He knowingly has everyone he knows call Youko something he knows she hates, refuses to stop calling her Imoko after being told how much it bothers her by several people (unless Maki just forgot) because he likes it, and only stops once he's made himself so dislikeable that he's managed to fuck up another person's friendship. Yes, he's stubborn, but he's stubborn about being a complete jerk to someone he barely knows.

Youko might have acted like a selfish idiot, but at least she spent the few days regretting it instead of having everyone she knows ask Maki "Who's more important, me or senpai?" because she thinks it's funny and a sign of affection even though it obviously isn't.

I would really love to see a sequel to this story

I was wondering if Chp 10 was the end of that story. Glad to see it resolved. Great set of short stories. I feel giving a set of chapters for each couple was perfect.

Can we request some cleanup in this thread? This all seems like pointless arguing to me.

Do you have some aversion against people actually talking? God forbid a thread be filled with something more than emoticons and fluff speak.

but do you really consider this a discussion or meaningful debate in anyway? or even talking?

While I think the story has potential, something has to be done about the main character. She needs to be given more backstory or add something to her character because she is losing me. Maybe the fact that this story involves the whole school is affecting overall point(?). Many of the stories I have read by Morinaga really have a small group of people involved and keeps the focus together. I am hoping that their is a point to the school idol theme but it needs to happen sooner than later. Girlfriend had many tropes in that series but it works better there then here due to 1) slower pacing and 2) somewhat good writing.

Page 32 blew me away. I cant really explain it.(it might be in my mind) but Chi's look just seems to have so many emotions on her face. Maybe it just that I'm into the story and just imagining things

So short but I loved every second of it. Hard to say if the impact would feel this good if it was longer but I hope to see more from this team

JManga did volumes 2 and 3, Binbou did volume 4. We have no interest in uploading either of these at the present time (as already partially stated in this topic).

Don't support the shittiest reader possible, you're causing physical harm to everyone who has to read that post. If you want them, visit Binbou's blog, and go get the others on Manga Traders, or foolz.us.
Also, no more spam about why they're not here. It's been covered once, and now it's been covered twice.

I didn't think this was spam. I was just letting people know where they could read the rest. PS "causing physical harm" lmao sure it is

its finished on mangafox im surprised no one has uploaded the rest.

TBH I love Ymir's hair pulled back

If anyone is interested MangaFox has Poor Poor Lips up to chp.75. I really enjoy this comic so much.
