The 4 page format is both a curse and a blessing, but I think it's the only reason I'm still following this, since it's not a huge investment of my time even if I quite frankly stopped enjoying it a while ago :P

So many random ass secondary threads that even if they make sense, it will take forever for them to actually resolve. I just don't feel like this is a story that will one day come together, it's more like a yuri version of some newspaper strip like Garfield or whatever. It's just The Beatles instead of lasagna or something, don't pick apart this analogy too closely :P

I think it's a bad idea to get into these complicated subplots in a manga told 4 pages at a time, especially when the author is kinda bad at conveying things clearly :P

I recall several comments in the discussion about Still Sick mentioning that Maekawa is kind of like that in it, can't really think of anything else

I kinda liked that this whole sister talk didn't really have that much to do with unrequited love or whatever, it would be so easy for a yuri series to throw in yet another pairing but this was way better, and I liked the realization of "love isn't that simple" :P Not that I would mind otherwise but it makes it feel a bit more grounded if it isn't just "pair up all the girls ever mentioned in the story".

risk it for the biscuit

With the way things are going, the whole troupe will know how Sakura feels about Tsubame, so maybe including Tsubame in the troupe is a good idea, increases the chance she will understand too (flawless logic, please don't dispute)

... also, with the way things are going, I'll end up with a collection of axed yuri manga on my bookshelf. Bought a copy, but I'm not feeling it, it barely got to second page of comments here despite 7 banger chapters.

My reaction after stalling on this manga a dozenish chapters ago but still checking the comments to see how it's progressing.
Don't think I'll be picking it back up anytime soon but the reaction sure is entertaining! Thanks y'all!

read it you coward!

I think the reaction technically does make sense (and technically right is the best kind of right :P) because at this point in the story Minami and Yuzu are still "super friends who do kisses on the cheek and sleep with each other", it's very easy to forget how ridiculous it is (but well, that's part of the comedy). She also had to somehow rationalize to herself what does "I want you" mean but she had like 5 seconds so I'll forgive that, as long as she explains her thought process in detail in the next chapter because it would be very funny.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I knew the comments will be good as soon as I saw it happen lmao

... anyway, the author actually has an interesting opportunity to potentially squander, because they're stuck with each other on this ride for at least a while, no escape! They have to do something.

I am enjoying this anyway, certainly more than the stupid "mysterious Yuzu" arc.

... I simply cannot abide by this MC looking at a perfect woman who loves her and going "no! I don't want her, I want this person who's the same type but a child instead!"

It's not entirely clear to me that this is a choice she actually made, in the last chapter it's explicitly shown that Mimai was the one who broke up after all. But I'll be honest with you here, I forgot how it looked like in earlier chapters :P Did Mimai hint at all at wanting to get back together? All i remember is mostly sighing regretfully but otherwise being on the verge of being done with her shit.

EDIT: I skimmed through all chapters and sure enough, Mimai even says to Kasane something to the tune of "you start relationships easily and then you quickly get bored with it" (although combined with the very latest chapter there is a possibility that Mimai just got jealous over something for no reason but I dunno).
Anyway, Mimai's general behaviour suggests to me that she really doesn't want to be together with Kasane anymore, so I don't think this is actually an option (this of course says nothing about the Meguru thing).

EDIT2: I guess I should have just reread the last chapter instead lol, I guess that counts as being presented a choice even if Mimai was probably just screwing with her to make her think about the situation, at least in my opinion, I don't think she actually wanted to get back with her :P

Minami is getting a little too comfortable in her "super best friend" role lmao

Oh this is really sad. Xiaoen biological parents gave her away because they didn't want a daughter.

I didn't even think about that but yeah, there is probably some one child policy shit going on here, at least partially?

No that’s not a thing anymore, Chinese society just values the birth of a son /heir significantly more than a daughter which can result in these types of situations

It could be at the time the story plays out though, although I'm not sure if there's something in the chapters that puts this in a particular year? I guess smartphones look pretty modern but I dunno.

EDIT: also, the time period we're really interested in is probably closer to Xiaoen's birth, so I think the policy would still apply? I don't know enough about this to really say if this is a factor in this story though.

Polyamory here is the biggest cope I've ever seen, this will be a proper old fashioned battle and I'm looking forward to it :P

Hell, Suzu is in on this shit

Is she, though? All we know is that Lily asked Hana to kill her right in front of Suzu, and there's little reason for her not to believe they didn't take the lovers' suicide way out of this after all they've been through - it would be the proper Japanese way, after all.

I would say almost certainly yes, how would they even do that? "Alright, can you leave for a bit now, while we'll kill ourselves real quick, 100% no scam, ignore that heartfelt conversation we just had that you completely overheard and clearly understood"

Unless of course they do it later, but we're going back to why they didn't let Nekomori in on this.

I mean, they could just tell her instead of doing the cryptic notes bullshit? I'm not sure what's the point of being in a hurry like that, it's not like they had to fake that drowning right on the spot, since no one apart from Nekomori and Hana saw the farewell note. And Nekomori seems like that the last person that would tell family the truth.

It isn't understandable that they'd be in a rush to leave and would rather not put anything to chance, considering the family, impending arranged marriage, sister, and what they've already been through? I don't think that would be unreasonable. Why wouldn't they be in a hurry to create distance between them and that house?

In my opinion, no :P We're literally just talking about meeting Nekomori again once, maybe on the same night while she's still searching the manor and telling her about their plan to elope - they apparently wanted her to know anyway after all, since this is why they left that stupid note.

Hell, Suzu is in on this shit, she could have just told Nekomori. I think there's zero reason not to tell her, but tell it to the old guy (apparently Nekomori's relative)! I would be honestly more worried about accidentally leaking stuff through him.

So they left Nekomori guessing, but they straight up told it to that old guy? I'm mildly confused about that sequence at the end, and I'm not really sure I understand why wouldn't they just tell her straight up, even before going through that whole charade.

Can't believe Pakee gets to have the last panel in the series

Do her feelings for Koharu immediately disappear, or do they gradually fade as she gets to know the other girl better? (Sorry if this sounds confusingI can’t remember their names.)

I mean, even before getting hit she explained at length that all of this was a long time ago and seemed really distant, I think it would be fair to call that feelings gradually fading already :P

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the ex returned!

very advanced level of "technically correct"

I like how the author is mocking themselves for making the same stupid joke twice... this series is really awkward, maybe just the humour doesn't land for me and the romance part isn't all that compelling :P

my 100% accurate prediction: Mii-chan regrets staying friends with her, and by encouraging her she hopes she will end up in prison so she doesn't have to deal with her bullshit ever again

Okay so they will just beat the shit out of him now I guess? A good plan as any other :P
