The first thing I thought when I saw the faces of all princes was 'Yep, no wonder why Rei fall for Claire instead of them'.

Adachi was particularly insane this chapter, we've always known it but that outburst about what cheating is to her .....

In my opinion, this chapter show her insecurity from Shimamura's POV. For Adachi, it's the first time she felt affection toward her in her entire life. So, she doesn't want to lose that affection that Shimamura gave to her. That's why she put overly extra effort to make lunch box for Shimamura. And that's why she is afraid of "cheating to her" when Shimamura talked with Hino and Nagafuji. She lacked confidence in herself that she is overly afraid that someone would take Shimamura from her.

Adachi needs are... more complicated. She needs external things like love, patience, structure (as to not let her get her way every time she gets emotional whilst the other person also has patience and understands that recovery and self improvement is a journey) and time.

The good thing is that Shimamura could read Adachi like she's reading Adachi's POV from this series and do what is necessary. That's why Shimamura is perfect girlfriend for Adachi.. The only thing she asked from Adachi is what's necessary for improving their relationship. To have confidence in herself. If Adachi has confidence in herself, most of her insecurities would be gone.

The fuck I just read....

Yeah, but since it's Adachi, I'm not sure I expect it to stick unless she's explicitly told.

Shimamura is currently doing a great job in my opinion. Maintaining distances from other girls (especially Tarumi) and assuring Adachi by kissing her forehead and saying that Adachi is the only one whom she would do this to. She even told Adachi to have more confidence in herself before kissing her forehead. And Shimamura is right. When Shimamura talked with Hino and Nagafuj, it's more like jealousy caused by Adachi's insecurities. Adachi need to have more confidence in herself and trust in her girlfriend more. Adachi just need to see how special she is to Shimamura. Shimamura has been showing it through both words and actions.

OH MY GODDESS! SHIMAMURA CALLED ADACHI BY HER FIRST NAME!!!
OH MY GODDESS! SHIMAMURA WANT TO EXCHANGE LUNCH WITH ADACHI!!
OH MY GODDESS! SHIMAMURA KISSED ADACH'S FOREHEAD AND ASSURED ADACHI THAT SHE IS THE ONLY ONE!!!
I can't believe all of these happened in one chapter. And Shimamura knows her girlfriend Adachi as if Adachi's mind was linked to her own mind.

You seem to be trying to force the situation to adhere to your personal viewpoint which is why everyone's disagreeing with you.

I'm certainly not trying to force the situation to adhere to my personal viewpoint. I'm just telling how the situation seem to me and my opinion and I'm totally fine with everyone's disagreeing with me. It just mean that I have different implications and opinions opposed to everyone here. Even I have different implication on some anime and manga, than I used to have when I was younger. Maybe I'll read this manga again in the future and maybe at that time, future me would have the different implication and different opinions than I currently have.

But by continually putting the argument in terms like, “Asking someone to confess to your lover make it seem like your lover is not that irreplaceable to you,” you keep asserting that your response is some sort of universal law that applies across the board, that it’s a given that what Chidori did was (in your terms) “stupid.”

Just so you know, I never did intend to imply that my opinion is some sort of universal law that applies across the board. And I'm sorry that it did seem like that. "stupid" is just my opinion to that kind of action. And as for my other argument like "Most people-", "-alright to-"...etc, these are just my belief and how things seem to me based on my experience in life and internet. I never intend to imply what Chidori did was "stupid" universally. All I wanted to say about what Chidori did was "stupid" and "unnecessary" in my opinion. I'm sorry if my previous posts in this forum gave such an implication to you or other people who have understood the same way.

Your previous use of the term “alright” says that because you wouldn’t do what Chidori does that it’s wrong for anyone to ever do it.

Did you just read everything I wrote?. Asking someone to confess to your lover make it seem like your lover is not that irreplaceable to you. No matter how much you trust your lover and no matter how you feel secure in your relationship, asking someone to confess to your lover made you seem like the person who can give away your lover. Create a poll and ask "Is it alright to encourage/ask other people to confess to my lover?" and post it on internet. Most would answer 'No'.

By the way, I know that Chidori is obviously much more empathetic than I can ever be. And I also see that she felt much more secure in her relationship.

You just lack empathy, as opposite of Chidori who have understand that Mai wouldn't be able to move on if she didn't try once. What could i say, you just don't understand that people could care for others even if it hurt them.

There is limitation to everything; trust kindness, empathy and so on. If I have a lover whom I love and my lover love me back, I wouldn't ask someone to confess my lover just because she/he wouldn't be able to move on otherwise. And it's not because of I don't feel sorry for them nor I don't trust my lover. It's because I don't want to seem like the one who giving my lover away. If someone confess to my lover, I wouldn't mind because I trust my lover. I just wouldn't knowingly ask other person to confess to my lover.

you just DON'T tell someone to confess their feeling to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend

But it's was because she trust Nanoha that she ask Mai to confess.

I don't even know what to say anymore than I've said. Chidori trust Nanoha. But that does not mean that is ALRIGHT to ask Mai to confess to Nanoha who is her girlfriend of all people while she could just let it be. Before you replied 'But then Mai wouldn't be able to move on then', it's not Chidori's problem. It's not even Nanoha's problem. It's Mai's problem. Call me heartless or whatever you want but I say it's just stupid that Chidori ask Mai to confess to Nanoha just because Mai wouldn't be able to move on otherwise.

I feel like what Chidori did in Ch 81 was completely unnecessary. Why would she tell Mai to tell Nanoha(her girlfriend) her true feeling? Somethings are better left unsaid. And now drama (which could’ve been avoided easily) happened. And it’s not only Mai who would be hurt hurt. Nanoha also would be hurt too.

Yeah no, those kinds of things are better to be told. At least Mai would have a proper answer to her feelings and can move on from that rejection. She is not bound by her love for Nanoha. And the drama has in fact been avoided by making the confession,

Mai already know that she doesn't stand a chance and while getting clear answer make easier for people to move on, it's still up to people. Many people move on without getting rejected. And some people couldn't move on even after getting rejected clearly. The most important thing is that they WANT to move on. But that's not my main problem here. My main problem is that Chidori is the one who tell Mai to confess to Nanoha. As I said in my last post, you just DON'T tell someone to confess their feeling to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend.

I don't think it was unnecessary. It is sometimes easier to give up on your feelings of love for someone if you tell them clean and get rejected. Because it would mean, "you tried, but it didn't work" you know? And in that state of mind, she can slowly fall out of love with Nanoha in an easier way than if she didn't confess. Because not confessing leaves possibilities as to what could happen, "maybe there's a small chance she'd actually choose me?" and then, even if Mai consciously knows she doesn't have a chance, she would still be hoping, clinging on her love for Nanoha, and because of that, she'll hurt herself even more.

I think that Chidori had that in mind (at least partly) when she told Mai maybe she should confess (or not keep it all inside). Plus she was thinking of the disaster that happened with Akiyama sooooo...

I'll be fine with Chidori telling she didn't mind if Mai confess to Nanoha because she trust Nanoha or someone else telling Mai to confess to Nanoha but I don't think it has to be Chidori to tell Mai to confess to Nanoha because you just DON'T tell someone to confess to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend. Love is selfish and somewhat possessive if not entirely possessive...

I feel like what Chidori did in Ch 81 was completely unnecessary. Why would she tell Mai to tell Nanoha(her girlfriend) her true feeling? Somethings are better left unsaid. And now drama (which could’ve been avoided easily) happened. And it’s not only Mai who would be hurt hurt. Nanoha also would be hurt too.

i decided not to read this when i recognized that this was the same person who did that one shitty manga with the homeless girl who took advantage of another girls love so she could get with her highschool crush. seeing everyones comments looks like i made the right choice

Isn’t it from different author?

But yes those AUs, very interesting. I wonder what the point of including them is.

I think the points is that Author want to show us that Adachi and Shimamura are meant to be together even if they didn't meet at the Gym's Second Floor or even if Adachi stayed the same.

So... Adachi and Shimamura is fated for each other no matter what universes or situations.
And Shimamura is chill as always, from saying 'I love you too' unintentionally to explaining that she love Adachi too much that she said out loud.

I should've checked PDA meaning in urban dictionary... I didn't know PDA stand for 'Public display of Affection '

How accurate is this?

Adachi and Shimamura's main selling points was what you said the gradual slow development of the two. So, I doubt author would write something against that.
As for Tarumi, she didn't have other choices than giving up. Shimamura made it clear in volume 6 that she favored Adachi more than her other friends.

@misxellaneous Thanks you for the link

does anyone know imgur or twitter link that have vol 7 and 8 illustration?

I really like the way Shimamura turned Tarumi down completely and very quickly for Adachi in Vol. 6.

Finally... is all I want to say at this point...

I don't even bother watching or reading because anyone of the girls doesn't stand a chance in that kind of series.

Title - Can't let her know
Almost everyone in the comments - Just let her know
