people are complaining about how this is not a wholesome yuri and that some of the characters suck as people. well guess what, thats being human. dont get me wrong, i love a good wholesome fluffy idiot couple yuri but sometimes a realistic one like this is refreshing to read. gay people do painfully fall inlove with their straight best friends. i feel like this story does not only reflect real LGBT struggles but also personal struggles.
i personally dont agree with people outright saying eri is sadistic and evil. im gonna go on a whim and speculate that she could be suffering from some neurodivergency, because its typical for neurodivergent people to come off as ‘insensitive’ or ‘rude’ and also be unaware of how people feel/how they come across. thats just my personal theory.
human beings arent happy anime girls who see their first love being fulfilled and then everything is sunshine + rainbows. humans are alot more complicated than that. especially in a more conservative society such as japan, where people arent as free to discuss mental health and LGBT topics unlike in the west - no wonder eri doesnt know how to navigate her feelings. (yes japan is becoming abit more progressive, but i think we can all agree its still not there yet).
personally i dont think this story is meant to serve us a carefree happy love; i think its meant to be a realistic story on how love is sometimes controversial, angsty and painful - especially if youre LGBT or neurodivergent. thats my two cents on this. if you dont like the story then thats fine! just dont grill the author geez lol
