I admire that the author respected the characters enough to give them some privacy.

That's not the point of reading romance stories.

And people wonder why yuri fans get nervous when anyone with a Y chromosome shows up. You get shit like this, turning great stories into glorified yuri bait.

So the Ririha drama amounted to absolutely nothing. Way to drag it out into a dud ending.

Why is this tagged as yuri while actual yuri like Room for Two only gets tagged as subtext? This has more het than yuri. Feel like I wasted my time reading this.

Saburouta's notes in volume 9 also mentioned about their happy future. Something like ''それでは ... ふたりの幸せの未来で''. I'm looking forward to the next chapter, i hope we can see Yuzu smiling again!

I hope she is smiling because she finds someone else who actually deserves her love.

First off, she wasn't stopped "for a whole day". Chinese schools get out late afternoon/early evening, so they don't have that long to hang out after school. I know the translation said "She didn't show up that evening", but that doesn't mean she never contacted her to say "go home without me, I have to take care of something today", which would be the polite response to a serious delay. In fact, the next scene in the plot we got (the sweet potato scene, which we know was the next time they saw each other because QT had SJ's coat with her) QT asked if she finished her business, implying that they had been in contact.

Don't you love it when you have to make up your own stories and assumptions to fill in serious plotholes? I certainly don't, but that it what is required for any of this to make sense. Why end a chapter with a depressed QT while pointing out SJ never showed up and then make the audience assume that they talked off panel? My absolute favorite is that QT is blushing the entire time anticipating to see SJ again and yet that also magically disappears when finally face to face.

We still don't know how SJ let down Mo, or what Mo's reaction was, which is frustrating to me, but I'm still holding out hope that QT asks about it and we get a flashback or a recap.

Nah, looks like it's just going to get dropped completely, like the reaction from the group when SJ claimed QT at the party. Why would QT even ask when its already been a week since?

When there's drama we complain and now when there isn't we complain too :D we dont' deserve yuri TwT

The problem is that Tanjiu just drops the drama halfway through writing it.

It clearly didn't matter since they are acting like nothing happened. QT doesnt ask why she didn't show up like SJ said she would have. And SJ never apologized for not showing up despite telling QT that she would. No one cares about the drama, everyone got mad when it happened after the kiss. Better go back to being cute, holding hands, hugging and blushing because that's what the fans want. Good thing it's easy to retcon before going to print.

^ So addicted that you are straight making stuff up. We never saw the day Mo interfered, she stopped SJ for apparently a whole day and then we literally saw nothing else. QT is not showing any sign of anger, disappointment or frustration. She is acting like chapter 148b never happened.

Seems like Tanjiu hit the 'ABORT' button after seeing all the negative reactions to the drama.

What a drawn out and pointless ending to an otherwise enjoyable series.

How is this still tagged as yuri?

Brilliant? No, just bipolar.

@themusicman500 Mei warming up to Yuzu isnt really progress. It's not like Mei has never had a friend. Mei also still sees that relationships are just for fulfilling obligations since that's exactly what she continues to do. She is the exact same as we saw at the beginning doing the same exact thing since she is repeating what she did in volume 1. This isn't a relapse, it's apparently been a thing this whole time but Mei refused to do anything about it because she didn't learn anything in the last 35 chapters.

@Yuri_lvl100 No, a lot of us just don't want to see Citrus recycle the same exact plot from volume 1. Here we are thinking that the story has progressed and Mei might actually become worthy of Yuzus affection, but turns out that Mei hasn't made any progress at all and continues to be the cause of every single problem in their relationship. Mei isn't a victim of circumstances as we have seen with her father, she just refuses to tell her Grandfather 'No'.

These are cute and all but come on, did this story really need this much filler?

I don't know what sort of consequences Ririha could face other than being shunned by Kaede and Mimika which would put her out of the story. I think Mimika is forgiving because sympathises with Ririha's motive of wanting to be with Kaede.

Except she never learned that. She forgave her before being told why Ririha did what she did. Which is just disappointing. I hate the trope of good people forgiving horrible people and the rewarding them for it.

If you have to comb through the manga with a magnifying glass to see the character development then there isn't much to actually find.

Good thing you don't have to do that here unless you're paying literally zero attention.

But we have a couple of people defending it stating that you have to look hard to see the progress while several others are saying there has been none and I have to agree. Maybe you have to actually be paying attention to notice that nothing has changed. Mei starts out the story putting her family's happiness before her own and we are currently still there 35 chapters later. Mei really hasn't changed, she is making the same decisions with the same justifications and it's disappointing. How can you say there has been progress when we are right back to the same exact issue from the first volume?

@Nez You're really not helping your case at all.

@FluffyCow I'm just not going to respond when the first thing you call me is a troll just because I have a differing opinion than you. It's childish. You can scrape whatever ooze you want from the corner of the pages and call it "progress" but yet here we are back to status quo with nothing to show that the 15 chapters of drama was worth it.

What didja expect? more drama?

How about something more significant than going right back to status quo after 15 chapters of crying. What was the point? Their break up and reconciliation has done little to progress the relationship.

Even if I were to disagree with your opinion I could at least respect your ability to present your views in a way that's properly explained.

I'm avoiding that since from various threads I have been reading the mod here has made it a habit to threaten to ban people who defend their opinion if it doesn't match the majority's.

It's a big deal they where tracing? Isn't it about the story, the adventure? Who is so far up their own ass that tracing is a big deal to them? Fucking A

Probably the people the author was stealing images from without paying them.

She wasn't a sidekick, if anything, she was the instigator, the leader. Mei has always been reluctant and I can't blame her for giving in to the display of kindness and love Yuzu showed her.

No, Mei began it all when she kissed Yuzu in their bedroom not long after meeting. Yuzu is not the instigator, it was 100% Mei who started it all.

See, if Mei was the one who started it, promising Yuzu all sorts of things to seduce her, knowing full well they couldn't keep it going in the long term, I would've agreed with everybody. But in this story, Mei is more passive than anything. She still promises lots of stuff to Yuzu but it's because she's too young and too in love with her to refuse her, to say to Yuzu "keep your hopes down, relationships aren't set in stone" (in the library in vol6); and that she didn't have the heart to break Yuzu's further : her step-sister just had an existential crisis and was really feeling down. The smile she does at the end of this chapter is like a complete opposite to her crying face in the last chapter.

Except, again, Mei did start it with the kiss. Mei was also the one pushing to have sex first. Mei was the one who went on the attack the first sign of Yuzu getting with someone else. Mei was far from passive. She wasnt the one pushing for a normal wholesome relationship but she was certainly the one pushing for a physical one.

Well, the only thing Mei can be accused of is to have been seduced by Yuzu, but who can blame her for that? Okay, okay, I'm pushing it. Still, it hurts, it wasn't a kind act at all, but I don't think she is a monster, just a confused selfish teenager who still wanted to indulge in the love of her step-sister, even if just a bit.

Yuzu was seduced by Mei starting with the kiss and Mei was the one pushing for sex before Yuzu was ready for it. She is just as much of a monster as a playgirl can be. She seduces Yuzu, gave into Yuzus demands for an actual relationship and then shattered it all in almost the worst way possible. People arent saying she should be hanged but you have to see why a lot of people would hate her for doing what she did.

This series has been amazing, watched the entirety of the live action in one sitting. Sadly I can't find episode 6 in English anywhere.

This was such an uncomfortable read. The one shot was great but the sequel was just weird and unsatisfying. Even ruins the one shot for me.

She didn't play with her and certainly not for her own satisfaction only, Yuzu was a willing participant in this. She just had a brief relationship with somebody and it didn't last, it happens, it's sad but that doesn't make her an horrible person. In Yuzu's perspective, perhaps but even her can't hold it against Mei, probably.

Yuzu was not a willing participant in being the side chick that Mei gets to play with before starting a real relationship with someone else. Yuzu was hoping for an actual future with Mei. Knowing that the girl you're dating wants something more but you are only temporarily using her for self satisfaction does make Mei look like a horrible person. Mei knew Yuzu wanted more and also knew she couldn't give it to her.

And if you tell me "but if she knew it would end, why go along with it?", well, if you don't anything for the pretext that it's going to end, you won't do much, right? She could have been honest about the whole thing, but nobody's completely honest and especially not when strong feelings are involved. If it weren't a romance story, no one would expect the relationship to go on forever, it just ended a bit quickly.

There is a difference in not being honest and flat out lying about the terms of your relationship. Yuzu once asked Mei if she could hope for more with her and Mei compleyely forgot about the elephant in the room. The completely ignored it until her grandfather brought it back up.
