And that.. is how you get yourself a girlfriend (' - ' )

You know..um
I know that Liz's ex aka senpai came back and hired her for a job in ch12, but seeing out of context, it could also mean that Liz's ex is taking advantage of Liz.
Using job to get close to Liz but took her to bed.
It's pretty terrible, don't you think so?

Is that what Liz's ex aka senpai considered 'a mature way of having relationship'?

But if Liz were to found out that she got the job from cosmetic company and that it was her ex aka senpai who pulled the string, and she even had to sleep with her in order to get that, it's going to put her career on jeopardy.
It's going to be nasty scandal.
Just saying.

I still think that business and private matter should be separated.

But hey, for fiction, drama is inevitable.
It's nice to see this sort of drama/ conflict going on and off.
It spiced up life.
So it's all good.

But I also understand that those argument are invalid because Liz is still pretty much in love with her ex aka senpai.
So the thing is, it's totally avoidable. However Liz still loves her senpai, that's why she cheated on Maki.

But hey, aren't both of you sign a slave contract?
It wasn't like an official relationship thing, so I guess, it's all right..?
Hmm..

Oww.. quick progress.

Wow..
Did Liz's ex aka senpai gaslight Maki san into thinking she is the problem of all and persuades her to break up with Liz?
What a terrible person she is o_o..

Liberty's work is fast-paced, and no nonsense fillers, just drama/conflict happening within 10-15 chapters.
The progress is fast. I kinda like it actually.

What a cool pace of development writing style.
Really nice to read.

Wow, what a twist about her ex aka senpai's background O_O...

Oh, I really like the pace and where it's going
That's nice
Looking forward for next chapter soon (in June 2025 I believe?)

Kitta Izumi sensei, congratulations.

Eventhough I am a super creepy obsessed fan to my favourite online idol/singer, I am still not that obsessed like Aiko san did.

Her level of obsession is another level. She could even memorize the lines from Shinonome san's work. That is one whole new level impression.

She is toooooooo obsessed to the point that she could only see Shinonome san like a god.
That is very unhealthy obsession, Aiko san (ಥ﹏ಥ)

But, Aiko san she.. she seems to have a really bright and cheerful personality
She looks like a nice person.
She takes care of Shinonome san when her back grows loads of mushrooms.

Despite her creepy unhealthy obsession with Shinonome san, she's actually a really sweet person on the inside...╥﹏╥

Aiko san's hair.. I just realize that her hair looks like two donut rings (;° ロ°)

Oh Aiko san.. she was bullied in her high school years.
Her kindness were being used by her classmates. They used her and took advantage of her kindness.

Another sad character that I wish she would be given a happy ending. I am sorry, Aiko san.

I now know why there are people who ends up having an obsession towards something. There has to be a reason that turns them as who they are.

Aiko san might be really creepy obsessive person that people cannot understand, but she is still.. a nice person on the inside (ಥ﹏ಥ)..

The blog Aiko san read in ch06 reminds me back in the days when idols/singers used to open their own blog of their own website, and they start sharing their personal lives on it. It was fun to read (though I have difficulty reading in Japanese language)..
Nowadays, I don't think those artists even allowed to write blogs like this. They are mostly managed by manager I believe?

Wait, only CH06?
Only CH06, that's all? O_O

But uh.. the side stories about the whole god thing is weird to me o_o
Hopefully it's related to the story

That girl ...(︶︹︺)
Is she all right? Did she get hurt by someone or something?
Why must life be cruel and harsh..? Why （◞‸◟）...

---

I saw the manga from Mangadex and I have to say um...
they seem to be a very 'good friend' indeed..(˃̣̣̥︿˂̣̣̥)
i hope they are 'good friends' forever (˃̣̣̥︿˂̣̣̥)..

Hmm..
Next chapter is going to be more spicy (☉_☉)..

So, Misa san has a backstory that made her who she is now, I see ⨀_⨀
She has a policy of not getting a girlfriend but I have a feeling that Io san might gradually change Misa san's thought

Will there be a happy ending for both of them?
Io san just wanted to love, that's all ಥ﹏ಥ..

Late reply, but I’ve never known anyone wearing rings on the right side - always left. But couples I know tend to be out at least passively. For WLW in my part of America there is general acceptance but even with rings people will tend to assume you are straight friends hanging out together. (I joke with my girlfriend after we do extremely gay things “btw we are still straight right?”) I wear my ring on a necklace as an ex-military habit, although silicone rings on left hand were still the more common alternative,

Oh, so it was on the left side.
Understood! Thank you for your reply.

The school is not giving you the role you want, but the role you need. That's all.

Oh ..
That sounds just right.
To train her to become someone she wants to be, she needs some particular skills by being a villainess to become one ఠ_ఠ..
Makes sense (to the school and the author of this story)

But..
Why does one needs to be a villainess in order to be friends with everyone?
What sort of skill will she able to learn as villainess so that she could make friends with everyone ⊙﹏⊙?

I'm not sure people are prepared for what comes next.

Judging the tone of this message, it sounds like the manga isn't going to give us a good ending..

You make a good point with the "She seems to be really into Remu, really, really into" part. The way the story is unfolding, along with the cliffhangers, the author makes it so we can feel unsettled by this realization and view it in a creepy way. But as you mentioned, Niji seems to be genuinely into Remu, and her behavior, especially her crashing towards her, is presented in an obsessive way. However, as you suggested, it might just be Niji's coping mechanism to feel a bit closer to Remu. That's how I interpreted it, and if that's the case, Usui Shio's writing and presentation of the story are really well done. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; I sometimes misinterpret things. ^_^

This work of Usui sensei's is the only work I can remember their characters because of their quirky obsessions ヽ(๏∀๏ )ﾉ

Niji got a lot more sympathetic to me this chapter, as we see how her fiction is a coping mechanism for an unpleasant life entirely outside her control. She seems like a pretty normal queer teenager to me tbh, while I wasn't this girl in school I knew a couple just like her. And she's not fully delusional or incapable of separating fiction from reality, she draws the distinction herself in the classroom, reminding herself that Remu's not tired because the events of her story. While she's almost certainly due for a very unpleasant crash due to Remu's private life clashing so badly with Niji's fiction, I didn't see anything the chapter indicating she's dangerous or unhinged or anything like that. I think it's possible for her to adapt and get through it. Maybe she's even the author insert lol, her fate will be to write Remu and Azuki's story.

You're right about her able to distinguish herself from reality. She seems to have an unfortunate family background, being the only daughter to take care of her mom because her mom isn't able to take care of herself..
Thank you for being sympathetic to Niji. When I thought about Niji and think of her as a real person, she might be the quiet one who would just sit on her place and busy with her own stuff, writing her stories. That doesn't sound weird, or wrong to me.
I think the only part people feels Niji's love is 'disgusting' is because she fantasizes herself and Remu a non-existent relationship in the world she writes about.

Remu is at least the character least likely to react badly to someone posting this type of fiction about her online. She is fairly carefree and accepting. She also probably prefers this to someone thinking she's strange or bad.

Hmm.. I don't think that might be the case, but who knows?╮(╯_╰)╭
Knowing Remu might be understanding about Niji's obsession and able to accept who she is since she herself has a lewd obsession about figurine, and might end up telling Niji about her own obsession to her, and said "I don't find you disgusting.."
But still, being the MC of someone's stories without consent, will Remu finds it disgusting? What will happen if she one day finds out about the fictional stories that are posted online and read them by herself, will she feel nauseous about it?
Imagine being the MC of the fictional stories and how Niji wrote about all her inner thoughts and how she wanted to treat Remu in another world...

it's interesting that Remu is turning out to be the most psychologically and emotionally stable one of the cast. It also felt like that, thru the gravitational pull that she exerts on Azuki, she could help Azuki overcome the hurt that she experienced from Meguru.

And yes, I agree with your findings.
Remu seems to be the one who turns out to be the most psychological and emotionally stable out of all the characters appear in this manga.

Oh Usui sensei's works are getting better.
Hope to read more of it soon.

And...most of Morishima sensei's works are licensed!
Her works are a gem.
I miss those days when I could still get to read her stuffs.
I hope her life is still beautiful as ever(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

I love Saki's full collection and her effort to actually bring them all in a suitcaseಥ⁠_⁠ಥ..
This story touches my heart too
But just wanted to tell Mai san and Hitomi san about visibility.
Sometimes it's a good idea not to be too noticed for their relationship. In before, I don't understand why same sex couple have to hide their relationship but now I start to understand.
There are different kinds of people who would do anything to ruin your happiness, just because they have negative perception on you, or that they simply jealous about it.
If it means to protect Mai san and Hitomi san, then a little hiding is all right.
Unless.. unless the society they are living in allows them to be free to express who themselves are..

But no, nope nope nope nada
Not in our world,sadly to say
I'm so sorry for the news too. I hope the couple recovers soon

I don't think sh actually agreed to marry Yashima. Yashima was just confused and remembering fragments earlier, but in pages 17 and 18 we see the full context of the conversation, when Sakano was just talking about her girlfriend and Yashima proclaiming Sakano gotta marry her. What they are saying is that they both want to be able to get married in the next era, but not to each other. In context, Yashima wants to find a boyfriend while Sakano wants Japan to legalize gay marriage.

I think of this as the proper context what the manga is trying to deliver.

I also hope that.. both Yashima san and Sakano san are able to get what they want in the next era

If there's a need of change of life, this should be one.
And then Bam! There's a love story going to be the next chapter of this office lady, a new encounter,a new chapter!
Look how she falls in love now ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ...

That's how a change of life should be depicted ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ
Not by beating people down and crash their skull until they all depress and not wanting to live and love

Good job,Ohsawa Yayoi sensei
I wish you could be my life author instead (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)..

I wish them happy forever
Oh wait, this is interesting
It doesn't start off with the prince shouting "our engagement should be annulled"or something like that

They are so sweet..
And they made a good pair together
I'm happy for them

Interesting how they all started with the prince shouting "I would like to have our engagement annulled"!
Maybe it's the basic setting of this series..?┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

It seems that lately the story of the Heroine x villainess, there's a lot of them, and the setting is about a lady who played the otome game so well she tried to change the setting/fate of the character

But I really like how this story ends up (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

I can relate to Niji because it's my coping mechanism writing fictional stories between romance of characters, whether a)fictional or b) non-fictional.

But Niji is a little different, I suppose. She seems to be really into Remu, really really into. The stories that she wrote is as if she's like creating a world of how she wanted it to supposedly be,and how she wants Remu to turn out to be, or acted to be in her script writing.

But I think she might be a little too obsessed with her own world and dreamt that those scenes actually act out in her mind, or that how Remu reacted.

I wonder why she starts writing stories about her love to Remu. Was it purely just to post them in the fiction site for people to read, and that Remu was just her material or muse to write? And that later it became a little twisted because Niji seems not able to differentiate between her real world and her creation world

p.s. I know people who read the latest chapter will find Niji's love disgusting. It's like she's imagining a whole new world of a Remu and her on another world and how they react to each other within the given scenes Niji has designed to..

-not according to context, but relevant to CH02-
Commonly seeing dialogues of people saying "..not the right feel" when it comes to acting
I have a feeling that
To act, is to have the 'feeling right'

If you found the 'feeling' and it spreads across the whole set, then you're doing it right..
I assume?

Because I had once seen potential actors acting in set, and when they say 'Action', it just feels natural.
It's pretty amazing, if only one could see the real acting going on.

Then the whole dialogue that people goes with 'not feel right' makes sense to them

-another out of context-
Does pretty people really feel uncomfortable being pretty?

But you know..
I was brought to tears when the students backed their teacher up, and that people who care will see you for you.

But I think it only applies to the world of Yodokawa sensei's

I like MC's observation about hand holding.
It's a very intimate moment indeed, and it really shows a lot about the relationship.
And she made great conclusions out of all the handholding photos she had taken, and linked them with the couples that appeared in the manga as the final end for the series (the mangaka).

Overall, it's great and very educative.

When the comments start railing against with the overused trope, you know they have read enough yuri mangas to know what's going to happen next..
Ohooo, love at first sight, soulmate indeed

A random very old movie I seen while I was channel surfing when I was a young kid (SPOILER BELOW FOR RANDOM MOVIE THAT I DON'T KNOW NAME OF.):
(Only seen the start then the end, probably got bored with it when switch back to see the ending). Cheerleader got told and finally realize she was gay/Lesbian by her friend and family (Had a poster of a hot girl in swimsuit inside of her locker), she had a boyfriend and everything but found kissing her boyfriend to just be annoying and didn't feel that good (She was trying to argue and explain she wasn't gay till eventually she discover that she was by her parents and friend argument and points)...==What did the parents and friend do to so-called fix this issue/realization.They send her to some messed up converting therapy lesson thingy to make her not gay and be straight. I was like---WTF---yeah real support parents and friend there I thought internally (I was of the opinion of let people do or be what they want as long as no gets hurt at the time)==...This would be a example of at least 7-8 homophobia scale out of 10...Thankfully the movie had a good cute ending when I switch back to the channel to caught the ending.

Oh, is it the film called 'But I'm a Cheerleader'?

Having two buckets of holy water tears..
That's rock...

So sweet ;'3

People like Kaoru san do exist, and they do need a little push by someone like Kinu san.
Glad to know that both of them work well for each other and hope they have a wedding soon.

Re-reading this again.
Inui sensei is 26 during 2021. Now it's 2024. She should be around 29 now.
Wonder if sensei and Kon san still living together? I hope so.
Whether they choose to build a family together, or simply just continue living their life the same for the next decade, I wish them long life and happy together.

p.s. I like the chores fairy theory though.
It's the best when both of them know what they need to do for their chores.
That harmony is the best sniffle

Oh and, for the end chapter, she said she outed Kon san by accident when she decided that both of them should wear the rings on their left side.
But when I saw the last photo, they put their rings on their right side instead.
So my question is, are same-sex couples usually wear their rings together on their left side, or right side?
