Would not have gotten at all that the death glare from Admin-chan meant that she was the mole without the note at the side (is there a word for that?). Not sure whether to consider that a failing of the manga, a failing of my own, or the editor overstepping a bit on the note.

Was Riko introduced before last chapter? Is that what the extra page is saying? Or was that the introduction it's talking about?

My thinking is that the double-date offer is to show (prove?) something or other to Sakuragawa, although I'm not quite sure what. It's rather hard to know exactly what she's thinking at this point. Sayori is shown to be someone who prioritizes her choice of college and the approval of her parents over Mizuki, and there isn't exactly anything solidly tying her to Mizuki, whether physical, social, or emotional (besides S), so it's hard to imagine that she's trapped against her will in an abusive relationship with someone who lives off in an apartment somewhere and has no excuse to see Sayori, someone who lives with her parents. So something else happened. Sayori's also a rather crafty person. I think she has something to say that words can't convey.

On my second reread right now I remmebered how in my first read of the chapter, I read "All that could make the flowers more beautiful is if senpai were laying here" as something incredibly yandere, aka her saying "if senpai's senpais corpse was laying in the flowers" here, before understanding what she actually meant...or maybe was my initial read correct? I also didn't realize how possessive the following pages actually were until now.

Nnnnno... The very next panel shows her mental image of Mizuki laying in the flowers in a completely normal, playful, and notably alive way. I don't really see anything more possessive than what this manga has shown an S relationship to be, although I'll give you that something can be said about how obsessive that is in general. I wouldn't say yandere but there's somewhat of a creeping saccharine darkness over the whole story.

Ah, my bad. I meant Dahlia and Violet.

But if they were just school friend, why call her "older sister"? However close people get with friends, I have never seen anyone call them older/younger siblings before. "Like an older/younger sibling," yes, but I don't know if it's just the translation.

It's a whole Thing in high-society (mostly all-girls) schools in Japan (at least in the world of manga, I don't know enough to say how true-to-life it is) where an upperclassman and a freshman will take a sisterly vow or whatever, and take care of each other as (high-society) sisters would. You're going to see it a lot of you continue using this site and reading random yuri.

Unrelated question out of random curiosity, is there a consistent word Frost is saying that's being translated as "Yeah."? Is it just "hai", or "nn", or what?

(I wish the people that dislike the lolicon genre regardless would just blacklist the tag already, instead of wasting time and forum space for pointless discussion on morals in a clearly tagged comedy series)

I specifically want to know why they're even here. If someone doesn't like a tag, why are they reading this or commenting on it? They need to leave people alone and take their moral grandstanding to the dead bird app. That applies to snarky little comments about the author too.

If you look, most of the annoyed comments are from fans of nmi, a known author with several very popular one-shots on this site, who decided to check to see if they like it because of the author even if it's a genre they don't like. Then they left comments that can be useful for other people doing the same thing. It's really like, the most reasonable use for a comment section.

And to do just that: The kid's funny, and I'm always a fan of a weird pathetic protagonist. Still feels kinda bad to read in an "actual POCD nightmare put to paper" way. Probably gonna give it a couple more chapters to let nmi cook. Could be like Happy Sugar Life in that it has enough interesting going on to surpass oneeloli being a fundamentally stupid premise.

A little scattered, but quite good... Every line was pretty meaningful. Part of me wanted to see more of the main pair but I think it basically said what it needed to in its 14 chapters.

knight heron might be the only group that can actually make me laugh with a credits page panel edit instead of making me tear my hair out with how annoying it is.

More troubling foreshadowing with a whole panta rhei spiel going on while Umi daydreams about a moment regarding her relationship...

Honestly Wholesome is too light a tag of this one, we really need something like Sickly Sweet to get across how this series'll put you in a diabetic coma.

It's funny, I was just thinking while opening this chapter that I've honestly found this series to be better described as Introspective than Wholesome.

It seems she did drop out. Rei says she can't solve Ami's current family situation but urges Ami to wait for her. The idea seems to be that they remained together and in contact--possibly long distance for a bit--until eventually they could be make their own decisions as independent adults. That alone could be a series but would probably extend beyond what this series wanted to focus on.

Would love to see a mini series on what happened during those 10 years or at least a chapter

Funny how people react with hate whenever a character is cheating (whatever their reason might be).

It's like they're being the ones cheated on. Talk about being insecure.

Because cheaters deserve to be hated? Ami was a POS to Rei and constantly hurt her— she wasn’t even a good girlfriend AND was cheating on Rei with multiple chicks. Rei didn’t dump her cuz she lacks spine.

How is it “insecure” to hate a character for doing something shitty?

Thankfully, Rei isn't as heartless as you lot.

I can’t tell if this is rage bait or if you’re genuinely serious.

You’re telling me that if:

  1. You saw your SO kiss another person
  2. Your SO continues to treat you like a friend
  3. Your SO never does anything to show that they like you, nor do they tell you they like you (romantically)
  4. Your SO only tells you they like you cuz of the power they have over your emotions
  5. Doesn’t spend time with you outside of school unless it’s with friends and invites people when it was supposed to be just you
  6. Doesn’t take your anger or frustrations seriously
  7. Your SO likes how you stay with them despite how poorly you’re treated because you can’t stop loving them

You would continue dating them and loving them unconditionally? Even when there’s a chance they’ll never stop cheating and fooling around?

Genuinely, how is it “heartless” to break up with someone who doesn’t treat you right, loves seeing you suffer because it’s their fault you’re suffering?

Have you ever been a teenager
I also really have to reiterate that Rei quite literally did dump her. They only got back together once Rei realized that Ami was very deliberately taking strides to fix literally every point you outlined. And Ami was very clearly not doing it just for show. She couldn't even get the words out. Try reading the comic before analyzing the actions of the characters instead of seeing the "cheating" tag and blacking out from rage. Or maybe just block the tag.

Hmmm . . . When some cheating jerky guy says "Really, it won't happen any more! I've changed, babe!" we tend not to buy it. I stopped reading this a couple of chapters in, thought I'd wait for the end and check the comments for how it went and . . . I have a feeling I will not buy this ending if I read it, so I'm gonna skip it.

Like take this guy. At least he has the decency to admit that he didn't read it and his analysis is completely useless.
Anyway the main difference here is that girls are better than boys.

Also also, it won't hurt you to read something where people do bad things. People fuck up all the time, and people fall in love for stupid reasons. Why would you not put that into art? I promise they're not going to jump out of the page and start cheating on you. It's okay.

I liked this. I would've maybe liked a little more between "Wait for me" and the timeskip, possibly a reunion or something idfk. Maybe delving a bit more into Ami grappling with how she's been behaving and how she recovered from that. Picturing an arc where Ami's stresses pile up and she slips back to her carefree depression and makes mistakes again but that's just because I'm a bastard. But overall I thought it was good.

She could accept her be poly
But.also.mean she score for 10 years

The issue wasn't just that she was seeing other women, it was that she didn't care. She couldn't care. Once she sorted out her feelings it seems that what she settled on was that Rei really is the only one she cares about, so no real need for polyamory.

i dont entirely love how easily she was forgiven for the cheating

She broke up with her in public and completely snubbed her for 3 months. What are you even talking about?

To me, "Disastrous marriage she was forced into" is on its own 100% an open invitation for mom yuri to happen.

Am I the only one that thinks Ibu likes Yoshi? (I think that are the correct names) Sorry if this has been talked before

No, I think that's actually a new idea. The usual idea is that Ibu (grumpy) likes Umi (MC).

We know that Ibu and Yosshi have known each other a long time; Yosshi uses Ibu's personal name (Yuuki), and they actually had a sweet birthday moment in Okinawa. But I think I've only read them as actual friends. Umi is the one that Ibu is repeatedly clingy/attentive to.

We've only seen Ibu look genuinely happy 3 times. Once when Umi was feeding her, once when showing off the sunglasses Umi gave her, and once when finally saying happy birthday to Yosshi.

I like to think that even though Ibu likes Umi, there's something between her and Yosshi that the both of them haven't really realized. But that's just because I'm a sucker for stories like that.

Anyway, let's hear it for ominous symbolism! Woohoo!

I know I should suspend my disbelief but I really have to wonder how she figured out how to make an account and so instantly got an international following...

I can help but notice that the first account that followed her is named 8ha7na5ko3san and I can't help but wonder if a certain ghost might make an appearance. I also wonder if those numbers have any significance I'm missing.

I'm guessing that that Hanako = the Hana on the last page = the purple-hair chick on the title page (Note that Hana's hair is completely covered and she has the same tiny irises) = the other half of our yuri pair. Time will tell whether she's the Hanako-san. Makes me wonder whether we're getting a story of two supernatural beings trying to fit into society, perhaps with different goals, or maybe our clueless Sada getting close to equally-clueless occultist human Hanako and the latter dragging the former around introducing her to her interests without knowing she's a real witch. Or something. Excited for whatever Jiang is cooking.

"I clicked on the manga titled Gross Girl With Problems, and the girl it's about is kinda gross and has problems :/ Don't know why the author would have a character with problems, but guess I don't need to waste my time here."

I feel like I didn't read the same comic as some of the people commenting here??

The reason her work is not accepted is outlined in the very first page. Kei is extremely uncharismatic and her work has huge ethical concerns. The latter part is what this entire comic is about. Granted her presentation didn't necessarily involve the romance code, but sentient customizable AI is pretty inherently rough territory.
She gives a breakup speech to a mere robot because she is human and did see Marie as a lover on some level. She questions herself after the fact why she didn't just cut that step out. It's not like the author just forgot she could do that.
I also really don't feel like the comic "suddenly got dark". The setup should be very unnerving if you think about it for even a second. The twist seemed pretty inevitable and like an appropriate exploration of the dynamic to me.
