Thats a lot of bombshell in ch65, and they all tied into one thing or another thats been around since the first major arc. Real good set up chapter imo

It makes the story more interesting that it doesn't take the easy out by having Hario be an obviously BAD guy. But the more I read the more I'm certain these two were never suited for a romantic relationship. It's like Hario got his idea of romance from cheesy Hallmark movies: falling in love at first sight, never accepting rejection and continuously trying until she says yes, assuming her "yes" meant happily ever after and rushing into marriage. I'm also shocked at how little he understands her after 10 years. He's constantly surprised not just by the expressions his wife makes around Takara, but even mild disagreement from Emma surprises him.

Emma on the other hand seems to have a terrible home situation and saw Hario as the least bad option. She accepted him after getting worn down, but she's also committed to him because he's nice. Whether she realizes it or not, she sees him as nothing more than a friend she doesn't want to hurt. And as long as she didn't catch real feelings of love for someone, she was probably content staying together. (Though not without some change, as even before reuniting with Takara we learn Emma was insecure about her ability to be independent.)

The only reason I think these two have been married for so long, is because both have such agreeable personalities that there hasn't been any conflict through which they can justify calling their union into question, much less splitting up.

Also, I really hope he and Emma break up before the last volume, so we can explore Ema and Takara openly. It's better for both of them. Plus, it's a pet-peeve of mine when series wait until the last chapter for the main couple to get together. There's so much more to a romance to explore beyond the initial will-they-wont-they drama.

The short hair friend is such a troll. She's awesome

About halfway through and this story is really interesting when it isnt trying to ship one of the female leads with a guy. Maya doesn't even seem interested in Hidesuke that way but at least you can argue it serves the "stability vs love" conflict going inside her. Mocchi confessing to Michiru was out of left field, doesn't add anything worthwhile, and has me worried this is going down the het / "yuri can't work" route.

This story was so beautiful. I'd love to see a sequel that tales place when An-chan is older

I'm willing to accept a spoiler here, do the sisters ever talk after what happens with Faye at the party?? I know they had their differences but I really want a scene of Hesha stepping up as a sister and be supportive, but right now its like they're in 2 completely different series

As of the most recent chapter (78), Faye hasn’t talked about it with anyone except Irene

Thank you for letting me know

Honestly Itou was brilliant for figuring that out. And it makes so much sense. It also explains how Mr.N was able to produce a new monster by "vomiting" into a victim's mouth. Those were the bugs entering her

It can't be helped that the series got axed suddenly, but I do wish there was stronger confirmation of the main couple in the last chapter. Overall a very nice series though and thanks to the translators for bringing it to us

I wasn't sure if it was just a gag or a real time jump, but I'm oddly invested in this future timeline.

That was a clever title drop at the end

This is such an unexpectedly interesting and funny series

This is such a great couple

Im glad we at least got an epilouge with some post drama fluff

That bathroom scene was so real. I'm so glad the author put that in there.

Also I'm happy for our duo. It's better to sell a few copies and catch the eye of the industry, then sell a lot and be forgotten the next month.

I enjoy Akira, she isn't here to judge and she knows what she wants. Takes a confident woman to suggest poly.

I guess I get where the subtext discussion is coming from (particularly the title), but I have real trouble reading Nina's behavior as anything other than intentional romantic interest. She's instantly on edge when Mao shows up with a guy, gets flustered when touched, asks her out on a date, even offers sex. She backs off with an explicit comparison to the guys who hit on her, and they are definitely not subtext.

Mao finally breaks down because she's forcing Nina into a confession, and she know Nina doesn't want to do that. So why doesn't Nina want to? I would have thought it's because she knows it's doomed and think it's inconsiderate to put Mao through the emotional labor, but I can see how you could reach the conclusion that it's because she doesn't actually have romantic feelings to begin with and is offering up herself strictly as a way to save her senpai.

I agree Nina's feelings are hard to read as anything but gay. But I also agree that "yuri crush" is the better tag for setting expectations

I can't tell how long this manga is supposed to be. I enjoy the writing so far, and that their drama didnt get dragged out. But it also feels like it could just end at any moment or be setting up another volume

It's done. This was the final chapter.

Really?! I didnt see a "the end" or "final" or "thank you for reading" or anything so I assumed there was at least one more chapter. I guess the "Ongoing" will need to be updated to "Complete" then?

Until they said her name I thought the ghost girl was Ayumi from the other 3 chapters in this collection (if she had died in middle school). Glad that's not the case. This was super wholesome.

This was a really sweet 3 parter. Very well done. I'd love to see more of Saki and Ayumi in the future. Also, I hope the bullies went through with apologizing at school. Even if they aren't forgiven it could give our main couple some peace of mind.

So um, what did this Riku guy do to her to make her "unhighed" like that? Feel like I'm missing a whole chapter to get the explanation lol.

Pretty sure this is still part of the mystery. But the story looks like it's going in the direction of him attacking her insecurities. Sadly, there are lots of stories like this irl, where a partner makes a girl feel like she isn't pretty or smart enough, but the same partner will insist that he accepts her anyway, creating an unhealthy dependency on his validation. We can already see Mao was never as confident as she seemed, the mean comments on her music really got to her, and she's not the prettiest girl in the room, so she already had a lot of insecurities ripe for exploitation.

After ''Wasn't Mercury Fairly Conservative!? '' and now this, the official spinoff manga 100% should have been done by this author. Giant missed opportunity there.

Bandai won't even let the original writers release their own Sulemio book officially. It had to be a be a limited fan release at a comiket while the official product around that same time was much more sterilized. No shot in hell they ever let this author near the property. (As sad as it is.)

Iko holding Teru umtil she relaxes those arms, preferably around her back

I feel like these 2 are on very different wavelengths. But it makes for some delicious drama
