That moment when you’re alone with your girlfriend and she,
Mimika, we need to talk. - Yuzumori-san, there’s something I want to talk to you about. - Mimika, I don’t like that you invite other girls over. - Yuzumori-san, you should spend more time with your friends. - Ah! So that you’re free to enjoy yours with them? - I wasn’t expecting them to show up today. - Of course, because two 4th graders just happen to show up at a lolicon’s door. - I met them yesterday after we parted. Ririha actually talked to me first. - Ririha did? Mimika, remember that girl who threatened me? That was Ririha. - Ririha kabedon you? - Yes, I think she..Wait, Mimika? Where are you going?

Ririha, what are you after? - Ufufu, now what villain would I be if I revealed that? - You’re just a bully, and a bad one. Musou-sensei says...Isn’t that Mimika-san? - What? Where? le Mimika’s violent kabedon What exactly are you doing? - Tell me, tell me your secret, Ririha-sama! - Uh, thanks for the sama, but I don’t... - Teach me how to get physically closer to Yuzumori-san! Because she’s the one who hugs me and kisses me first, and I fear one day she might start to think that I don’t like her as I say, whilst all I’m doing is trying to preserve her innocence. - I have no idea what you... - Mimika-san, remember what Musou-sensei says in this volume of ‘Destroyer of Innocence’? The very first page. - “Innocence is a NO between fancy quotation marks.” - “But”? - “But if your partner doesn’t know how to spell it…” - Uh, you two, Kaede can spell, you know? - Ririha’s right, Musou-sensei’s wisdom does not apply to the case here. We need to find another way for Mimika-san to show her affection.

Meanwhile, Yuzumori-san,
...I think I want to touch Mimika’s b****.

(Yep, just hoping they'll talk it out)

Ugh I really hope this isn't gonna be one of those "I'm ditching you for your own good" situations because I can't stand them likely because I've been on the receiving end of that presumptuous horseshit.

Ririha is such a bitch

You people seriously think that this will end up with Kaede and Mimika splitting up? Guys, step back and take a look at what manga you're reading. Even if Mimika tells Yuzumori that she is breaking up with her, I highly doubt that Yuzumori would be willing to just split up like that. All I see happening is Yuzumori slapping some sense into Mimika and make her realize that Ririha was just trying to screw their relationship up.

Love to see that happen, and quickly, but I suspect we may be in for at least a short spell of what in Korean dramas is called "noble idiocy." As majere says above, it's that "I'm quitting you for your own good" thing, usually accompanied by lying about one's real motivations, so that the dumpee has no clue about what's really going on.

The absolute worst version, because it's so painful for both the audience and the characters, is when, in order to do a complete break-up job, the person pretends to turn on the other one and claim that they were only fooling around or have come to their senses and now see how ridiculous the relationship really is, etc. (Noble idiocy, as the name suggests, also often requires previously intelligent characters to suddenly behave like complete morons.)

If the author remains true to the characters, there's no way Yuzumori puts up with crap like that for very long, but even someone as sharp as she is may take some time to get all this mess sorted. Here's hoping Glasses-chan has enough integrity to be helpful when things come to a head.

I swear if she is gonna trust some random strangers words more than yuzumori i will adgsgsh@gshba@$+$'#&#sggs

I think they will talk it out. I mean, really with what information Mimika has got, she is probably going to try and convince Yuzu to stop coming over so often and hang out with her friends. It's probably going to escalate or something with Yuzu trying to refuse but at least there's a chance we won't get the noble idiot way.

Oh, I'm confident things will work out, and there's not the slightest chance of a real (and probably not even a faked) attraction between Mimika and Ririha--we've seen that already. But I wouldn't be surprised if Mimika, who is not the brightest star in the sky, at least tries the noble idiot gambit on the grounds that it's what's best for Yuzu.

But my favorite thing in this series is when Yuzumori cuts right to the heart of the issue at hand, and I'm hoping for one of those scenes ASAP.

My bet is that things will go downhill. Ejima’s sensei has been building a moment (if there won’t be more) where something has to break between Yuzumori and Mimika so that they can move on toward the next step of their relationship, since it’s not quite clear whether they are friends or lovers. I see a romantic interest from Yuzumori’s part, and we all know Mimika’s feelings, but does Mimika actually know to what degree Yuzumori feels for her? I don’t think so. Hence the need for a break up.

(And if they do ‘break up’, and Yuzumori finds out that Ririha is behind it, she will try to steal what Ririha holds most dear, her model career. Just saying.)

..........that hairband game, though!

You were saying, SF?

A lie on top of another? pfffff it sucks, shouldn't have bothered coming back so soon

You were saying, SF?

Apologies for having optimism.

My K-drama rule of thumb for noble idiocy is (although I'd prefer not to have it at all) that the show gets part of one episode to introduce it, one full episode to suffer through it, and one episode to resolve it.

Anything more than that and they're seriously getting on my nerves. Here's hoping.

Niceeeeooo!

It's not like the cliffhanger has Mimika saying something like "I don't think I should be with you anymore".

https://i.imgur.com/IRQ1yJY.png I don't want to make fun of your positive mindset, I think that's good but wow the irony was strong... I just have enough drama in my daily life to have a cliffhanger of months and like Mizusi said, their age difference was enough for complications so I don't feel is wrong to feel bad and even take a break, of course giving up the whole manga would be stupid.

No more black bars from me, this time for sure I have to draw traps anyway

Their age difference was more than enough.

Really. That's the most interesting thing about this series--basically, how are they going to get out of this one (the main setup)? Mimika's lovestruck but not just a lolicon perv, and Yuzu is precocious and lonely; they're both getting something emotionally rewarding out of the relationship, but where does it actually go as it develops? (Without the story going from "oddly charming" to "seriously and criminally creepy," that is.)

Once the mess caused by our grade-school villainess is dealt with, that question remains, and I'm hoping the introduction of our grade-school villainess doesn't mean that the author can't find an answer to the question.
