Fun fact: Liz's real name in Japanese is 橘花 いづみ.
Kitta Izumi in Japanese is written 橘田 いずみ.
The first kanji is the same. Also 橘花 can also be read as Kikka, but I'm not sure how widespread it is as a surname.
Kitta Izumi isn't even trying to hide that Liz is basically her self-insert and I'm pretty sure that some situations like having to hide her sexuality in order to attract male fans are based on her own experience.

Oh so interesting! But i dunno how to feel if Liz is supposed to be based off on her. I don't wanna think of Kitta Izumi as a yandere asshole :(

Yikes she pisses her off, that's not a good sign.

Anyways I'm guessing Shizumu pisses her off just because she works hard as a mangaka and as a software developer or whatever she does, whereas it seems like Maekawa had to sacrifice drawing manga for her real job instead

I think it's more like Shimizu is still able to find joy and passion in her work and interests vs Maekawa has probably already become jaded by her career as a mangaka. So she probably envies Shimizu.

I really like how conflicted Fujishiro has been. SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO BE CUTER THAN ME. FUCK YOU SHE'S CUTE!!!

Gf can put up with this behavior because it's only been 2 weeks.

I actually liked this first chapter. Wasn't what I expected the spin off to be. I thought it was gonna be like some 4-koma slice of life thing. I'm hoping the tone of the series stays like this since the first series had enough drama for a lifetime.

Since it's going the "season 2" style route, I kinda wish they saved the marriage scene for the end of this series. It's kinda weird that "s1" showed the future, but s2 is a direct continuation.

I'm personally crossing my fingers for proper Mei character development this time, but I'm keeping expectations low. More Harumin/Matsuri scenes would be great too.

Lmao last panel got me good

Cuuuuuuteee

Come on Yuu x Nagi endgame. Come on!!

And there's no shortage of cringe later on.

True, but early cringe was on a completely nother level. You gotta admit it's so much easier to stomach now when you have a great supporting cast + a more mature Tomoko.

Damn this looks canon

PPFFFT

Should i read this? When will stop from being cringe

Yes.
Stops being cringe around ch 60-70ish (kyoto field trip arc).
I recommend reading through the cringe anyway. You'll appreciate the current stuff more because the story is about Tomoko's character growth and without it, it is just another slice of life (a good one though).

I guess that's our source of yuri

Aw you can do it Miyuu!

I see a lot of complaints, but hey this is better than BOTH of them keeping their feelings locked up. At least we have Miyuu who hasn't given up, but I do feel like they're gonna figure it out because of a 3rd party.

Seeing this author do so much yaoi just makes me feel like Nanashi no Asterism was really doomed from the start to end up completely unsatisfying, since this seems to be their main focus. Not that I have any issue, it's adorable, but it's disappointing a potentially good series got shafted cause of it.

Yeah it all makes sense why the yaoi pair was so much more interesting and developed than the main triangle. Author's heart was never really into the yuri from the start.

Also, this seems to be a prequel instead of a sequel. Or is it just me?

I also go prequel vibes from it. In the original pages, they seemed like they were pretty close compared to how they are here. Well i guess it doesn't really matter since the author prob writes them in a general universe sorta way.

Blessed image

Should I read this manga? When does it feel less cringe what chapter?? Everyone talking about it

It varies depending on who you ask. For me it was about chapter 51, for others it's the start of the field trip arc in 69.
But yes, you should read it, it's great!

I recommend pushing through the cringe chapters too because it makes the current chapters all the more worth it. It's so satisfying and heartwarming to see Tomoko grow up.

It's also great to see these seemingly plain background characters that have been there since the beginning, begin to have personalities and integrate themselves into her life.

I think that's the sweetest Ucchi content I've seen. Usually she's depicted as some yandere psycho. Poor Ucchi =[

Well cause she sorta is in canon...

But i agree, less creepy and more cute ucchi please.

No yuri, fanservice sub-subtext, but damn are they great characters (and look hot together).

I can see this happening

This was cute but not that haircut

I love riko-sensei
