I'm going to tentatively declare that Morinaga ships it and is gonna be an ally.

this is going to be painful

Lovely

omfg excuse me where she put that bread

crunch crunch crunch

lmfao nothing should be crunching down there

This could have been a fluffy succubus poly manga BUT NOOOO

If that is somehow still the ending we are headed for the author is gonna have to pull off some crazy gymnastics to make it believable.

And this just delivers it! It reminded me a little about "Fluttering Feelings" since it's slowburn too (but cancelled, RIP author).

too soon ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)

Nozomi was wondering what sort of guy lured her into bed. Thinking about how this "guy" had made her feel so good, she gets worked up and starts masturbating.

She remembers it was her close friend, whom she has presumably known for a long time and is female. She suddenly changes her attitude and feels like she was attacked.

Its interesting to note that lunch carried on as usual for them and only after acknowledging that things felt so normal did Nozomi have her outburst. Perhaps she feels betrayed, or is grieving the profound change that is about to happen in a close friendship. Maybe she's having a gay panic, maybe it's all 3 at once.

We shouldn't expect ultra realism and backbreaking respect for consent from this manga. If we are lucky, it will at least acknowledge some aspects that I've brought up while the 2 work through the dubious nature of their hookup.

Well, no raws, but there's both the previous axed version and the original LN right here on the site if you want to read ahead.

Thank you, I thought something seemed different from when I began reading this.

There are significant improvements to the depth of emotion and character expression but also why did Shimamura have to evolve into a flat, out of touch narrator? And of all the aspects of Adachi, why choose the creepy parts to magnify lmao.

I sincerely hope we actually get some resolution (and that Taru isn't an 8 chapter angst fest), this manga is really cute and as tedious as it feels, it is relatable.

are you trying to bait?

when you gotta ask if it's bait, you are being baited

jesus fucking christ

are there raws? does anyone know how long this drama slogs on for? i can only imagine the utter garbage fire thats going to result when someone starts talking about feelings.

I like this manga, good art and decent story but holy shit a change of pace would be great.

and big boobs always.

A woman of culture lmao

Hey, I was young.

Everyone starts somewhere, I still remember reading my first Diana Palmer book and feeling.. whew

I'm really looking forward to the rest of this manga. The characters are being developed pretty well and their relationship is being built rather than just happening.

Taiyaki NOOOOOOOOO

Just 2 besties who send friendship nudes and platonically strip each other so they can cuddle naked on their BFF bed

Absolutely wholesome, the next step is buying matching rings so they can commit to friendship for life.

Allura :(

naice

Is this worth watching?

Ah so sweet. MioxRitsu is the best

Is that the fkn end ??

Really? Literally shafted

best pairing

ouch

"oh boo hoo, he got made fun of by some girls." who caaaaares lmao
i'm thinking the mangaka included that just to solidify what a shitbag he is

I believe that was the intention here. Also, reputation and embarrassment/shame are more significant in Japan, both the perceived consequence of losing face or being shamed and the psychological response to both. The effects of his childhood bullying are likely more pervasive and damaging (toward his personality, worldview, behaviour etc) than they would be to someone raised in the US.

If this is realistic then I guess humanity is more doomed than I thought it to be

Perhaps now is the time to load up a 10 hr video of kittens playing with bubbles because I have some bad news..

adorable
