Yeah this is big bro stepping in and being like 'its good to share' and hinata having to make a stand

For better or worse: short of a backstory explanation, it only really works if this is indeed her first full realization.

I think she's just been in denial but the kouhai read her like a book throughout the day

i mean a bed like that is pretty normal fantasy fair. It's a princess bed

we will need another 41 chapters for them to move from “”Friends”” to “”Best Friends”” AND another 100 for “”Precious Best Friends”” and the story will end with 0 romance -_-

Nah that framing was extremely intentional

ok so the drink thing is a metaphor huh. they werent really being subtle with how much aju is touching her and the suggestive nature/possessiveness of it

Yeah idk if something got lost in translation, but it feels like this chapter is missing a couple of pages of dialog to fully explain why MC is going along with all of this seemingly without resisting.. // shes stuck there and is a nice person

i actually like the expression of forcing it. progress!

but I like kamiya. Yeah she's a plot wrench but sometimes those are useful. Remember Lonely Girl? The plot wrench became a beloved character because of her fun and chaotic nature. I say give her time. The fact shes so open makes me like her more.

honestly i just enjoy the crazy horny sci-fi concepts

regardless im awaiting the soft swerve to Stay by Lisa Loeb or Dont Speak by No Doubt

Exactly what I was about to say. If she has a hard time with people who are loud and overbearing, America is really not the best place to go directly after growing up in Japanese culture… But then again, it could be a chance for her to open up and discover a new part of herself. Sometimes people need that kind of push.

I think she wants a world that hasn't existed in 30 years. and thats kind of her come to terms with it.

lol aquarium

'm fairly certain every song choice for every chapter is extremely deliberate, but this is helpful context.

but yeah, smashing pumpkins songs are very depressing lyrically. today is about suicide and disarm is about an abortion. so tonight, tonight is about escaping but also strangely, love.

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth

And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born

it's about leaving but its also about loving someone else and moving on.

Oh, I didn't think the name they gave would've been of an existing plant, that's cool.

yeah its like super potent catnip

which also made me realize that lol I have actually never seen a 'catgirl high on catnip' plot or thing before

Abandoning your friend at the table like that is kind of a dick move. I dunno, doesn't sit well with me

Tbf that friend just propositioned her and she is right now 404 erroring like 'do I have sex with my gorgeous friend whos wasted?' Before another hot girl is now on her in the bathroom stall

Really we're all here just to watch the train wreck, sometimes is fun to watch something so unapologetically messed up that doesn't shy away from portraying character as assholes instead of trying to justify their shitty behavior and utterly fail at it

That's the heart of it. No one thinks Fuuko is a good person. Hell she doesn't. Everyone in this manga sucks but it's obvious Nanase should date her chipper volleyball bestie and Yuni and Fuuko should fuck off together. But that isn't how manga works so its just kind of funny to watch it explode

it likely will, especially with the hinting that the best friend is about to have her romance arc

felt like it got canned. if it was your traditional shonen it would have gone for 150 chapters for sure

Sorry but, fuck this chapter
All commentary and no actual character sense. According to this chapter Rose really did only play around with Benika

Did you...actually read the chapter?

I mean it's a yuri manga. It's gonna be romantic.

But there's also the darker undercurrent people are missing. She's def burned out but the manager stalked her there and that's just the manager. Who knows who else in the future might get a whiff and start stalking her there. Hato could be in serious danger if someone views her as a 'threat' (which she is). So there is the added burn out and hato can understand it but also her worries that she's dragging hato and imposing on her these dangerous feelings that could get her into serious problems she didn't ask for

from mess to rizz in 0s flat

and one of them might even be bisexual, but let’s wipe it under the rug and call it, “i just happen to fall in love with some one that JUST happen to be female” 0.0

a lot of them do. they bring it up in ILTV, bloom into you and watanare and basically all the biggest and most popular ones. It's really tied to east asian (not just japanese) not exactly 'lesbians dont exist' but more a challenge of heteronormative culture. An example of this is basically DC and Mamamoo are pretty famous for being really super queer for kpop. and they'll respond to this like 'if i date SOMEONE, THEY" and are like very pointed about not having their words be gendered.

So basically east asia is in its 'love is love' phase

believe in the nanao!

oh damn. I also love that he deduced correctly that Rose is the safe one

Okay, but I mean aki does deserve better.

And at the same time. Shiho did blackmail, gaslight, extort and tantrum her way to a gf

Probably frame or that she has a touch existence and do you want that baggage.

This will probably make Benika want to help her more

yeah we have a side couple on our hands
