Saw Kabedon in tags: excitement
Saw Kabedon in the chapter: boooooo

Ahhh, this chapter kind of made me sad - for some reason out of all of the others - I though we would see a little give from Komaki here with the hug and hand holding and Hishikawa being a little vulnerable. The fact that we got nothing and she was pushed away really made me realise that these two aren't going to progress

The two guys have even gotten closer from this chapter alone than any of the actual main characters, I would not be surprised if we saw them going on a date in future chapters which will make Hishikawa even more jealous

I'm not sure how this will end, maybe with hishikawa being OK that she can't date Komaki? A girl comes along that is just as intense and they go out? (Probably not likely but it would be nice if Hishikawa could date someone who actually likes her in that way) but either way this chapter made me a bit sad for Hishikawa

Honestly, this was a pretty great oneshot. I think I missed the love triangle tag because at the end when Yuki starts falling for Arashi I really enjoyed the irony of Arashi trying to help Mao but unknowingly making it more difficult for her from joining their friendship group, hence title

I think it would be interesting as a series but only if Arashi never fell for either of them and is determined to be their friends and dates someone outside the circle. It could have some interesting complications with Arashi being Mao's biggest supporter and maybe trying to arrange double dates (which end up getting awkward), Mao getting frustrated when she sees how much Yuki wants to spend time with Arashi but is trying to tone down the possessiveness because Arashi has clearly said to her "I'm not a threat" but this could bubble over when she realises Yuki's crushing on Arashi, and Yuki being oblivious to Mao liking her is going through some introspection on having a crush on a friend and is unsure whether she wants to pursue it or even to confess when Arashi excitedly tells them about her dates

But I do like it as a oneshot, you KNOW there would be drama is this was a series

"I date random guys to get your attention" so knowing that Rin's mum casually left to get with some guy and how Rin now hates cheating/superficial relationships and this was your play??

I don't get why Rin agreed to the relationship in the first place, it would've made sense I guess if she wanted to try and be friends again, but like I really do not get the pov people have on Momoka being the one who's right, when she doesn't communicate, gets jealous and bullies her friend, pushes for kisses (and sex??) when Rin isn't ready, and then because she's frustrated about the relationship cheats on her? Like wtf is this toxic relationship

Don't get me wrong, I love it when you toxic relationships in manga but not when they're portrayed to be healthy

From the same author as Octave, omg we are blessed. This looks like a great slow burn, I thought the drama would be that she would cheat straight away but it looks like it's going to be a long game kind of deal, I love this

I'm all about this kind of trope so yessssss

This is the good shit

Also liked that you saw that she doesnt leave her friend to "bully" (lol) the girl, as she's looking on approvingly in one of the panels. We need more cute shit like this!

Hahaha, I will already say Gemini/Virgo is best pairing but that's only because I'm a Gemini and my girlfriend is a Virgo! We are obviously nothing like the pairings here though xD I'm just glad they didn't go for the obvious twincest route because that would've been sooooo predictable

"I planned to take my grandmother on a ride on this bike, but unfortunately she passed away before I was able to. It is one of my biggest regrets"

"Wow... Hey, so do you have a boyfriend?"

Like, what a garbage opener omg hahaha

What I wanna know is if smoker girl is gonna be aro/ace in a way that she is fully not interested, or in the way that she is realising she might be gay like our MC (though our MC could also be aro/ace and interested in women though from how things are unfolding I don't think it's very likely)

I actually really like that they used the terms asexual and aromatic here, I hardly come across these terms in any kind of manga and this it's good that they get a bit more exposure here instead of just the usual "I've never been interested in anyone before..." line. I used to think I was a outright ace until I met my girlfriend, (I still think I'm on the ace scale somewhere, but not really that bothered in putting a label on it) so it's really not that surprising to me that she thinks she's ace&aro, especially if she's not been interested in any romance at all up until this point.

Gotta hate that biological pain

This was a really good opening chapter and actually a legit reason on why the MC is going to try to hide that she is gay. A lot of mangas I get annoyed when there's the miscommunication which could easily get resolved by just talking, but here we have already seen a situation where the MC did talk about being LGBT in a area that she thought was safe from her friends being like "I don't see why people have issues with anyone LGBT" to then having her school life ruined the next day from discrimination and her parents being shitty

I'll be interested to see where this goes. I have a feeling the author girl is likely just pretending she is also not LGBT to make this girl feel comfortable (as she likely thought she was straight) and then it'll just go from there

"I want to be single for a bit, whoops looks like I've moved in with another girl who is my type I'm sure this won't backfire" gotta love these lesbians

Damn this is one hot mess

This really took me by surprise!!!! I honestly thought they were just gonna be subtext roommates that were actually both straight. So Shima being canonically gay was something I never saw coming!

I would still be happy if these two remain friends though but eventually find partners. Dang! Canonically gay. God damn!

I actually read this as "a person who feels good stepping on an idol" .... So now I feel kind of cheated

This sure is a story that went nowhere

And I'm not even saying it in terms of Yuri, I just mean their relationship in general makes barely any changes and both seem really unbothered in the end when they end up meeting by chance. Its a very unsatisfying ending and what I thought was a good pace at the beginning ended up being a slow build to nothing.

What do they even do in these chapters apart from hang at the pool and have internal monologues where Tsukiko imagines Aya as a fish?

Totally not me and my friends calling this citrus 2.0 when we saw the raws and this translation lmao

Honestly same

Also Reiko is really unlikeable, I have seen no pros to her character so far

Haha well I'm expecting the tags to change with the next chapter! This defintely wasn't what I thought this story would be

Interestingly there was a comment on one of the MCs Twitter posts that said "can I be your number 2 girl" so that was a nice little foreshadowing (and maybe even a comment from this new girl herself)

"I'm ok with you as a woman" (yay!) "I'm ok with you locking me up and not letting me leave!" (No!!!!)

What a rollercoaster

Why can't this author let the gyarus be happy

Is there ever a story where a twin-tails girl ISNT either a yandere / tsundere ?

Where's my twin-tail straight man (not literally) yuri MC yknow

I love that it becomes a sports manga for just... one chapter

Complete with the cringe sports "I have my teammates don't you" line at the end, amazing

For real people? The girl saying "you cannot flirt with anyone but me" did y'all just forget that line? And when she was getting invited to a movie it didn't seem like she was being pressured onto it, not like at the begginig when she got to do the classroom cleaning cuz someone else didn't wanted to, it was just a hang-out invitation and she turned it down because if not her gf would be angry

It's funny to see the double standard some of you people seem to have, criticizing bullying so much (because it's bad, obviously, like I saw for example at the Jyoshikou Dakara Safe discussion) and at the same time overlooking or even supporting these clearly toxic behaviors

And I'm not writing any of this out of rage or something, I seriously got into the forum expecting to find comment about how toxic this was but instead I had to see this horrific show y'all put on

For me it's only two (very short) chapters in, so it's hard to see where this will go. I don't mind if it's a toxic relationship as long as it's what the author intends to portray and not something that is shown to be a cute enviable relationship, when it's really problematic.

I don't know if it'll go down the route of popular girl being more and more possessive or if it'll go down the route of popular girl doing this shit to make weak willed girl actually stand up for herself and have some confidence.

Tbh I would rather it just go full on drama yandere because the second option really makes it feel like we're gonna just OK popular girls behaviour. If it's some cute fluffy manga about how weak willed girl can't have any other friends but it's OK cause she has a girlfriend then I'm out

0/10 the title mentioned cats but there were no cats

(jk jk)

BE MY FRIEND NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo
