Last chapter, I was like "nah i'm fine with this, they have to confront each other next chapter right?"

Then we get this. Holy fucking shit. What a travesty, needlessly dragging on and ignoring the failed kiss entirely and making every bit of progress feel worthless. And let's be honest, it's not like there was a lot of progress made either. I thought they were going to be introspective by going with Yuzu's POV but instead we just go back to Minami and she gives up without saying anything clearly. What a cop-out. It really feels undeserved if they get together after this, because there's being dense and there's being actively malicious to your own psyche.

It's super exaggerated and dramatic but the inability to accept that someone might actually like you romantically is totally plausible. It's no doubt way more frustrating for regular readers though, rather than binge-reading a few chapters at a time. I stopped following this one after we got the first Yuzu-POV chapter, and reading the last 4-5 in one go has been a benefit for the drawn-out pacing drama since I haven't been waiting on more of the same schtick every couple months.

I hope everyone can see the difference between CNC and true non-consent :)

As a fan of CNC it pleases me to no end to see an author set up the pillars of CNC and Dom-Sub RP so well to strikingly, visually compare them to how real abuse forms and plays out.
It's peak.

PEAK...

I quite like Usui's ace rep work, but I will admit it's really nice to see them touching on topics that are more sexual in nature. I hope that it's OK for them to work on, and it'll be really cool to see how this relationship of the MC's evolves since it tackles sexual attraction in unusual ways.

It's mutual. It's twisted love! But it's mutual.

Disappointing bit there. Put a pretty sour feeling in my stomach, everything else is great, but then the stupid transphobic bit comes in and it's like... why? If you wanted a creepy stalker dude, just make it that and not some perpetuation of stereotypes. Just feels bad when everything else is cute.

How long until Itsumi convinces Hanei to be gay with more people?
How long until Arare is one of those people?

When will Mochi au Lait not have an incest plotline? Not that I'm against it.

Anyone considering that Yuki and Fuuko are gonna..? Anyone? No, just me?

Yuni is a dumbass. Should've said "both."

Risa-chan is the real winner. Hiroko was so difficult, Ayaka went through a lot of hardship, and Risa-chan had to deal with it... but Risa gets the boobs in the end. >:)

I wouldn't judge the ending too harshly considering how rushed it is in terms of storytelling. It feels like there were a lot more ups-and-downs to be had where one has a job, the other doesn't, etc. But with both of them not having one it's easier to go back to square one and say "we tried, but life isn't fair."

Feels like if anything the message isn't about giving up or not trying, but that it's really fucking hard to be happy in this hell world of interviews and arbitrary requirements.

Chad Shirafune. I knew I was right to trust him.

Now to find out whether he respects her because she came to church all the time, or if he's shitting his pants because he doesn't know if the other two are also assassins.

Gosh there've been a lot of developments since I last read this. Caught up to now and it's like, my heart's thumping along with Sena and Kiku's growing attachments. I thought the love triangle bit would involve Yuria, but it really seems like it's just - Kiku is giving Sena a lot of room to breathe and see new people and come out of the Depression Hole.

If it's really ending so soon then that's sad, but I hope it's a good end. I really liked seeing Kiku's uh. INTENSE DREAM. Desire for the shut-in Sena.

God, they look so tired.

Hehehe. Cute idiots.

This is a certified SuleMio win.
Definitely supporting the author!!!

This is definitely gonna backfire.

I think you're reading into it. I don't think she said she's settled for men, nor did she imply it. I agree that from Ayaka's POV it's not useful or helpful, but it felt like the manga chapter was putting it in line with the other examples that were genuinely bad. I mean, first, she approached Ayaka one-on-one which is already better than 99% of other people, and she approached her from the perspective of support, as in she's in the community and accepts her for who she is. Even if she got it wrong about Ayaka, I still think that was a genuinely sweet thing.

She didn't say that, but I feel like from Ayaka's POV that's what she can infer or something. It's definitely sweet but I think Ayaka's bluntness and dismissal is based off of things she's assuming about the people supporting her. She sees them as fake - and unfortunately for our bi hero, she gets lumped in.

That coworker Kumi is a real one. I love allies like her. I had no doubts about Yuuya either, he always seemed like a good egg, but I like Kumi's anger.

Also, the bisexual woman that approached Ayaka alone also didn't seem to have any bad intentions, at least from that short conversation, I'm not sure why that was treated the same as everything else.

Kumi seems so cool.

And I think with the bi person - they're acting as if this is Ayaka's first time experiencing the emotional rush of finding out you're queer. "I've dated a few women, I settled for men, I know what to expect and can tell you." And from their POV that's what this might be. But we as the audience know that's not true, so their intentions seem more genuine than Ayaka assumes.

The weirder this gets the better. Like the actual stupidity of the plot points that Benika's pieced together is so next-level I hope it becomes real.

I'm just here looking at Risa's massive W for asserting dominance over her superior.

HUGE KUDOS TO THE SCANLATORS... this was a meal and a half. A womb massage is interesting but, god. That tonguing... lovely.

I just love seeing Hiroko trying to be the big boss but failing at it because her worldview isn't something that she's able to communicate to Risa or Ayaka. Risa running to the bar 'cause of it and getting doted on by the regulars is what she deserves. I hope she has a life full of boobs.
