Praise be to new chapters. Definitely nice to step back into wholesome flirting after last chapters drama.

I have a feeling that Mio and Shizuka are going to crash, at least for a while.

Shizuka needs some time alone to sort her head out.

F for Bike-kun

I'm still curious about how Kyouko will come to terms with her feelings. I want her to be happy, despite her being immature and selfish at times.

Yeah, i don't know what she mean by ending her love. I thought bring Kurumi to the park was about confess to her. Did she give up on that ? Did i'm stupid to have forget that ?

I think she just realizes that Kurumi doesn't feel the same about her, and that when she confesses she'll get rejected.

I want Midori to be able to be happy with Maki honestly. She doesn't need to become a saint. She deserves to feel actual happiness but she trapped herself thinking there was no escape.

She deserves happiness, I just don't think she deserves it with Maki, she's toyed with her emotions enough as it is.

Or dunno, maybe we need a flashback chapter to their school years from Midori's point of view to change my mind. Needs to be a helluva flashback tho.

Feels kinda obvious this is going to end with Maki and Midori together, but it somehow just feels wrong, Midori needs to become a fucking saint for the remaining part of the manga to deserve that happiness.

Yukiko hasn't "chosen" one yet

Yukiko was the one who confessed to Konomi though.

Gotta be fucking kidding me with the love triangle tease.

Poly ending or riot

Dunno, i always have trouble feeling the NTR when the MC aren't really going out. I mean, yeah they seem to miss each other but it's not like they really going out or even say they love each other like Yue point out. Yes she want Mana to say it but she doesn't have on the few pages they're together. Plus the shortness of the manga and their interactions together doesn't really make me feel bad for Mana.

Kinda makes me mostly feel bad for Yue, since it seems Saki is only into her to tear her away from Mana. She'll end up losing Mana, and then Saki is going to dump her.

The author have a knack to drop those bombs in extra. Aki having a crush on Yori in the first one and now Momoka dating(?) the old singer of the band. It's almost like the author forgot to put in the regular chapters and had to put in the extras.

Alternatively a tease for a future plot line.

I will be honest, i will prefer it will build some dramas. Not that it already did with Rin's speech but i don't want a Luminous Blue ending all over again like "B love me and C and I love B too so why not going out" and that's it. Poly is not something that everyone agree on, as shown by Rin's junior. So i want some nice builds up with some dramas and questionnings because Polyamory is a serious matter.

I'm all in favour of dramas and asking the really deep questions about polyamory. I just don't want there to be "cheating" in a sense, just a personal preference since it gives me tremendous anxiety.

...freaking My Joy PTSD.

This looks...interesting.

I just hope there won't be any sneaking around, rather it would tackle polyamory head on.

Is it just me or is the translation very hard to follow at a few points, like the second page. Feels like someone needed to go back over it again and change it from a more literal translation to one that sounded right in English.

I felt the same that the language is a bit...rigid, it doesn't really flow.

Still cute tho, and not much story so it doesn't bother that much.

Yeah, I know that it probably will, I guess I'm just so sick of seeing the 'lol question your partner's attraction/dedication to you because of a man/omg lol our relationship is transient and not real because men exist" thing that I am disgruntled. lol

I wouldn't say that's really true here tbh. She's less worried because there is a man involved, and more because in the past Maekawa described her relationships as very casual. Obviously her having dated only men before makes it worse, but I feel the "man" part is secondary here to the other stuff.

That's a big "ooof" to witness in the morning, your girlfriend getting out of another persons car. I think most people would have trouble thinking logically in same situation.

I bet Shimizu is such a fucking manga nerd though that she figures out exactly what happened.

This author really loves their cliffhangers...

Before Truck-kun appeared though, it kinda felt like Nika was starting to realize she had gotten over her feelings for Jun though, so I guess we're headed for Nika/Kurumi endgame.

I can't blame Kyou because hell if Kurumi ever saw her as anything so it's no surprise she's not confessed and is bitter

But i can. She push the fault on Nikaidou and Kurumi when she is the only one at fault. She blame Kurumi to not notice her feelings but never done anything to make her notice. She blame Nikaidou for "toying" with Kurumi's feelings when she don't anything about them. Not to mention the break-up wish and the fact she look relieved when she thought they have break up. You shouldn't be happy that the one you like is sad because they broke up from someone they love. At least she have realised herself how much of a coward she is.

That is really unfairly harsh judgement. If we were all damned for our thoughts then we'd all rot in hell.

I relate to her position since I was once in a similar situation, and honestly there are no easy answers.

I mean, it's not explicitly stated, but reread Chapter 8. What do you think happens immediately after this?

Maybe they just make out and then take a bath together. I'm assuming that's supposed to be a cue that sex follows.

Oh, good point, I had actually forgotten about that since the latest chapters have filled me with anxiety. I guess as almost everything in this series it can be interpreted to have gone as far as reader wants it to have gone. I think you're right tho, since they didn't implicitly stop at any point they probably went all the way.

Also, I know this isn't determinant, but they did have sex. I guess you can have sex with a woman even if you're not into women, but I think that's at least indicative that Nika can go both ways.

Wait, when did they have sex? They slept together in c6, but pretty sure they didn't have sex.

Raws for chapter 29 are out here https://m.imgur.com/a/dQC4iit

Kid Uta is so cute.

I interpret that as respecting your opinions.

That's how I meant it. You can read the story however you want, you don't have to agree with anything I'm saying.

Fair enough, my bad then.

I interpret that as respecting your opinions.

In context with rest of the reply it's hard to take it that way, but might be. Pointless to theorize til they respond themselves.

I don't feel cecile was snarky thought.

If "But well, if that's how you wanna read the story, who am I to stop you." isn't being snarky there is either cultural/linguistic misunderstanding here, or I'm a complete moron.

Tbh either is possible since we're talking about me here.

So, is Risako actually in love with Kaoru and everything has just been a fucked up plan to get her and Reiichi apart?

I'm not saying you're wrong. Technically, anything can happen, in any story, because that's for the author to decide. And the fun of us being here is exactly debating the story and its characters, so there's nothing wrong with us disagreeing with each other.

I do recommend being less snarky then if you want to make it seem like you accept differing opinions.
