I'm starting to think that these two deserve each other. That might be a bit harsh since Wakaba appears to be a perfectly nice person who is just a few levels above the usual "yuri protagonist" level of density. Seriously though, watching these two idiots going through increasingly intense mental gymnastics to avoid the blatant reality right in front of their faces is something else.

I know this is an adaptation of something, does anyone know how long the original is? Is it finished or ongoing?

This author is consistently great. Always happy to see more stuff from them.

actually i didn´t dislike the boyfriend, he seems a pretty chill boy and i do hate men on yuri stories.

Idk if a "chill" dude would forcefully drag his girlfriend (and not gently, as she complains about grip strength) somewhere dark and secluded, then complain like being caught in the act of something when interrupted only to go away and leave the girlfriend behind instead of asking for privacy. Boy was acting super caught-in-the-act guilty.

This but

I’m willing to give him some benefit of the doubt, like maybe he’s also just as much of a pushover as MC and only wanted to kiss her cuz his friends made fun of him for not doing anything with her despite datin for a year

I think it would be interesting if he was also socially pushed into a hetero relationship he's not actually interested in, and it turns out he's also gay. So the MC ends up with the girl, and he ends up with another boy in class.

Perfectly Balanced

Embrace the gay. It fixes everything.

If you don't, you'll just end up being a standard romance manga love interest.

A fate worse than death.

I'm kind of amazed it took a whole year for them to even discuss stuff like this. It gives me the impression that neither of them were super invested in their relationship.

Dubious consent is a bit of an understatement. We all know where this one is going, though.

This one started off so nice, but we've been steadily circling the drain since the sister was introduced and now we are way down in the piping. Why does every manga have to have an incest plot line? It feels pathological at this point. Please let this sleepover end.

Psychopathic tendencies doesn't begin to cover it... this is cute, but IRL that gal's the kind of person who would just leave you as soon as you become boring.

After ch9 I think it's more that she would leave if you weren't miserable. She is trying to get the mc out of a shitty job, though, so that might still be a net positive in the end.

Pretty sure I saw this movie. Moonfall I think. Significantly less yuri in the movie version.

Well that looks unsustainable as hell. But what life is complete without a stress-fueled mental breakdown or two?

what money back? are you the one blind or something? how will she get it back? wait for the bitch to return it? she CLEARLY has no intention of doing that shit, so leaving and stop the whole thing was the best solution for her!

the ending wasn’t as sad as people think it is, she got over her abandonment issues and never fall in love again so that doesn’t seem to be an awful ending

Some people would rather not be alone until their dying day. Those people would likely find it quite sad.

Dang, thousands of yen per superchat, even 50.000 yen? That's like $500. Taiga must be rich

Big streamers make some crazy money. I'm not dialed in to the vtuber sub culture, but those numbers don't seem crazy for a streamer with a large established audience.

you know thinking about it, itou says that shes bad at understanding social cues but shes really good at reading how people feel, while takahashi is really good at understanding social cues but really bad at reading how people feel.

theyre very complimentary to each other.

That is a great observation. You are very correct.

In other news, I am so down for this to turn into a horror monster harem where the mc constantly has no idea what is going on. It would be super progressive since all the monsters so far are gender fluid.

It also says 19 chapters, so there is quite a bit untranslated. Not every series needs to run for decades to be good.

Stuff like this really throws a wrench in your whole life. I'm kinda surprised we are going straight from abandonment issues into a sleep disorder. That's one way to keep the drama flowing I guess.

The only proper partner for a being that doesn't experience committed love is a being that loves so obsessively that the other can't escape. I'd respect it if this turned into a nice boat sort of situation but I'm pretty sure that is not where we are headed. Toxic af.

Lapis is super savvy about manipulating people. It would be kind of bad writing for her not to see through Rubeus pretty much immediately. I get that jealousy is a powerful force but it feels like she is smart enough not to get dragged down by it. Then again, her whole plan is basically a pointless self sacrifice so maybe I am giving her too much credit.

This series is the perfect mix of drama and comedy/action. A little sad and bitter at times, but still warm and wonderful underneath. I'm looking forward to more.

I swear to god, if the next chapter of this series has an angst tag then I am gonna flip. Communication, people. Communication is key.
