This was horrible!

Messed up, sure... Horrible? Well... If someone isn't only into it for the "pure" (fetishist's?) yuri, then considering that at least Mio is apparently Bisexual (though everything points toward that Sakura may also be), it was a possible way for her to get out of that situation. Which would've worked better if there was no real other love interest (of either gender) to keep their bond more romantic. While I thought this through, however, I realized that Mio was actually Cheating on Masato (the guy) at the end. At that point it started becoming horrible for me too, instead of just ignorable.

Their relationship's problems (miscommunication, lack of confidence, dealing with hetero-normative external and internal expectations), while the realistic kind I don't really like to see in manga in addition to the real world, were interesting, and could have been solved better. I don't like soccer either, though, so I don't mind that I have no reason to read it again because of a better story.

I think Sakura was soccer hating, because it reminded her of Mio.

I think it's cute, but I hope it's heading to an actual yuri hook up. The pushy one sided crush bit gets old fast.

It would be nice to get a sequel, so we can be sure Ririko kicked the dude to the curb. Is it wrong, that I want to see the poor guy go down in flames?

Argh! What do people have against solid unambiguous hook ups!? It's cute to tease for a while, but in the end I want to see a long romantic kiss as the music starts, and the scene fades. Anything less is a let down.

That...was honestly kind of a dick move on Mitsuko's part. I mean, she knew about Mako's feelings for her for HOW many years? Why didn't she just confess herself? She's clearly assertive enough! But no, she's just so hungry for a confession that she allows the girl she supposedly loves to go on thinking that her feelings are one-sided.

Also, did she actually date other people in the meantime, or was that breakup she was whining about just another way for her to try and trick a confession out of Mako? I'm honestly not sure which of the options is worse.

I totally agree. But we seem to be in the minority.

I hate women, who try to make someone, who is in love with them, make a move by teasing them, with other lovers. And this wman did it for years. How cruel .

If only this is Cotton sequel.

I always think this is Cotton sequel... lemme dream.
I want a gay ending for that one but Konno-sensei did not satisfy....

Yeah I hated that one too. It was shaping up to be a sweet yuri pseud-incest romance. Then, a stupid het twist, completely out of no where.

It's a darn shame Sumi-chan's jerk brother got to Kaori first.

Am I the only one who is bothered, when a girl throws her first time away on some random dude. Then, uses the bold new attiude, she got from the experience, to seduce her real love interest. I would be bitter, that the person I love, gave away a precious moment, we could have shared together.

Feel sorry for the husband in this case. Cheating is bullshit. Everyone gets a happy ending, except for the guy who is providing for everyone else. What a garbage story.

I'd argue that he's the happiest of them all, since he doesn't have to suffer the crippling doubt and self hatred that plagues the two women.

Well, in the moment, this is true. And the next moment we consider is him discovering that the person he has entrusted his household and a considerable chunk of his life to has been lying in his face for a long, long time. No matter how you look at it, cheating hurts.

It's Sei who will probably lose. Ryouko chose the traditional married life, over an alternative life style, for a reason. So, if she is put on the spot, and forced to choose, who do you think will be kicked to the curb. Besides, poor Sei will probably be pushed aside, and forgotten, once Ryouko has children.

I wished the story explained why Ryouko got married. I would be fine, with the ending, if she was pressed into it by her family. But, if Ryouko was just trying have her cake and eat it too, it would suck. Either way, I think poor Sei, is going to end up hurt.

This one haunts me. I want the girls to have a happily ever after. But, no matter how hard I try, I can't imagine how they could possibly end up together, after that first meeting. That has to be the worst pick strategy ever.

The J. Giels Band said it best "Love stinks, yeah, yeah."

I hate when bisexual girls use sleeping with a girl's boyfriend to get her attention. I also hate when girls make a show, of being total sluts, just to tease, a shy person, that they know are into them. If there was any justice in the world, those girls would end up sad, and alone.

I've been reading this site for a while, but this is my first post.
This story is going to haunt me. I've already read the secound half of the story twice. I still can't figure the ending out, though.
The rape was bad, but I think I could have forgiven it, if the story would have ended with a solid unambiguous yuri hook up. Intead I was left wondering, what was Hanna's motivations!? Was it romantic feelings, for Nazomi, that maybe even Hanna didn't realise she had? Was it a despite attempt to cling to a friendship she feared losing? Did Hanna think she was doing her friend a favor, by forcing Nazomi to "grow up" so she didn't get left behind? Maybe Hanna was sexually bullying Nazomi, because she was jealous, that Nazomi was free of the pressure, she felt to keep up with th other girls. There seems to be bunch of contradicting subtext, that could support a argument for each.
I hate manga that leave me wondering, what's the take away.
