call it a hunch but i don't think that kid is on the softball team after all

REMEMBER IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO CHORES WITH YOUR PARTNER

This is such a bizarre re-read after learning far more about the geopolitics of that time. Like the saccharine tone of the story and art contrast really uncomfortably with the historical reality of "in the last war we conquered part of China and in the next war we're going to do it again"

Like the last panels showing them as grown ups are likely just before they go off to command the War Crimes Machine

oh no its the return of my least favourite plot device

AUGH BIG FUCKIN TEARS

oof

kelly radicalising diana arc lets get it done

gotta respect shimamura for putting up boundaries. i am scunnered with yuri pulling the "jealousy is a natural part of being in a relationship and should be indulged"

we're cancelling an for outing a trans woman without her permission

the drugs understander has logged on

as a trans woman who is planning on becoming a mother in the next year or so, this chapter hit me directly in the fuckin soul. this is a fear i genuinely have

i really fuckin love this manga thus far. i don't even care if it turns out to be yuri or not, the relationship between the three characters is profound to me. anyone can be a family if they just truly care about each orther

right thats me tearing up at work, fuck lmao

Honestly she should let the other girl go; why waste your time with someone who isn't a human being, just an extension of her parents?
Let the other girl enjoy being **** by her arranged husband (which is pretty obviously what happened next).

you're absolutely correct, hiromi is absolutely at fault for having being raised by abusive and controlling parents and should be abandoned to their whims because abused people are not worth loving (and apparently deserve to be raped???? what the fuck). great take pal 10/10

to be fair this is 100% an accurate representation of people in their early twenties in a relationship

which is exactly why we need more yuri of women in their 30s

i see we're all being very normal about compulsory heterosexuality

What exactly does that mean?

Are not enough people lamenting that comphet exists? Are not enough readers excoriating Ema for bowing to it? So what else should “we” doing about the theme of comphet in this story?

Just lamenting the takes that Ema marrying Hario was somehow a purely selfish and cynical act on her part, and not the result of horrific external pressures and expectations. Could have chosen my words better, it just gets very exhausting yk

i see we're all being very normal about compulsory heterosexuality

Is it really "willingly" when she was manipulated by him? He was about to put them into an even more dangerous situation, pretty much cornering Matsuri. Her and Koyomi are both the victims here—he literally targeted a vulnerability (her love for her daughter AND him) so he could get out of the pit he dug himself and push all the blame on her, all while acting like he actually cared.

She could leave him and seek help; instead she went and committed a crime while he had his handss clean and now while she's in prison she left her daughter with a man who can easily sell her organs to pay his gambling debts.
Women who enable their scum husbands are to blame too.

what a fuckin wretched mentality you have

we should all love women the way sal jiang loves women

gee whiz someone tell these lassies about polyamory

Helll yeahhhh tell him gurllll louder for his old stupid brain cells at the back! Damnn imagine all the satisfaction if he managed to punch that homophobic man. But still what a satisfying chapter! I really love how he stood up for himself and give his two cents on his homophobic father.

i wouldn't get too excited pal i think the dad is about to upgrade from domestic violence to state violence

It's written on the first page of every chapter: she's 24 and Ai is even younger

right so they're basically babies

tried to make her fit in the "normal" life she aspired to, even though it goes against Ai's nature and the very nature of their relationship (lesbians).

gonnae need you to explain this supposed "nature" of lesbian relationships pal

Not only is she innocent and dependent, but she’s also really young, I believe she’s only 20. Considering her age, it makes sense that she was overly dependent and naïve toward her ex, who was already married, no less.

Possibly the most astute comment here. 20 year olds are insane. Nobody has a healthy relationship at 20, you simply haven't had time to make all the mistakes you need to make to learn how to navigate that level of intimacy with another whole-ass person. Healthy relationships require years of experience.

team i don't think this one has a happy ending

a succubus's natural enemy... someone on the ace spectrum

Is anyone else absolutely exhausted by the prevalance of "jealousy is an important aspect of romantic attraction and its a problem if you don't experience it"
