"Takeda is starting to emerge as the favorite character. Even though this a yuri manga." Was the writer surprised or? She didn't write any "likeable" characters besides him. Yuma is oblivious to everything around her as already pointed out. She was ogling Hotaru in the bath, had an erotic dream about her and got jealous over Hotaru and Fujiwara but she never considered the possibility that she might actually like Hotaru nor what Hotaru's advances means? Oh right, that's because they're both girls so it doesn't mean anything! Ugh, she's quite frustrating. Fujiwara is a jerk. And Hotaru... While I can see why some people see her as manipulative, the devil and so on, I actually like her, I'd like to believe that there's more to her than just being the bad guy I'm not saying she's this multi-complex character or anything nor that she's an angel, far from that but I feel like I understand her actions or I try to, she fell for her best friend and she was probably scared of being rejected if she told Yuma that she had feelings for her so she got desperate and started the "practice" thing but she got herself in a mess because Yuma is an idiot and now she tries to compensate her one-sided (in her mind at least) feelings by staying in an abusive relationship. So yeah, Takeda is the only decent character in the mess. I just hope this doesn't have a het end.
Bleh. For a moment, I was like "Fuck yeah, Hotaru!" because Yuma is indeed being obnoxiously dense about this, to the point that it wouldn't be surprising if Hotaru had actually tried to be straightforward in the past and confessed properly but Yuma was just like "Yeah, I love you too! BFFs! You want to get married together? Aw, a double wedding sounds wonderful! Eh? What are you talking about, we have sleepovers all the time! I don't understand why you're getting upset, if you want to get in my pants that badly, you can totally borrow them, it's no problem! Hotaru? Why are you crying? Did the boy you like say something mean about you? Hotaru?"
LOL
