Fear of abandonment, black and white thinking, feelings of emptiness, etc..Yuna has more going on than chill under achiever.

I thought the "we have too much sex" thing was supposed to be a running gag, but turns out it was waaay more serious, sheesh.

Yes I'm in Love with this so far and have pre-ordered the manga. Please continue with the adult yuri manga.... some smut is always great as well lol. I look forward to the next chapter, adding this to my forever yuri collection, and reading it multiple times.

While the irregular release schedule makes the reactions here expected, I'd encourage people to reread the story.

This is both an expected and an inevitable reaction from Yuna. She's someone who is very neurotic, struggling with deep insecurity issues and possibly an emotionally abusive past. Her thoughts consistently show her lack of self worth, and she only seems to find it in being loved by Rena. Naturally, any hint of that wavering will send her spiraling, because she has nothing else to pull from. I guess it's fair to say the series is melodramatic, but it also feels like a pretty realistic depiction of someone who is entirely too codependent on their partner and has no healthy coping mechanisms.

This post nailed it.


This chapter was too real. I was like that with my first girlfriend. That's what growing up in an abusive homophobic family that you escape as a teen by shacking up with an older lover does to you. My life is a cliche lol

This got realistic fast

While I dont relate with the low selfesteem, being unable to see one's own existence outside of the relationship is something I understand all too well

Codependency much

We've seen some hints of her past family life, and it looks like Yuna's had this issue with poor self image and feelings of inadequacy for a long time. Though it seems to have gotten worse over the course of the manga.

For me her "you're an adult, pull yourself together" routine before answering the phone was super relatable haha.

Yuna's character arc is very interesting and I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before. It starts with her as an insecure flighty shut-in who then finds out that the person she's been idolizing (she basically saw Rena as the perfect woman at the start) is in love with her. So far that's pretty standard shoujo. But unlike in other stories where Rena's love would teach her self-worth etc, her romance has actually only deepened her issues. Yuna hates herself so much that she can't understand why Rena would love her, so she swings between excessive clinginess, irrational jealousy, and in this chapter nonstop seduction (because she subconsciously believes Rena could only lover her for her body). These behaviors make her feel guilty, which only feeds into her self-destructive cycle. And her lack of any external support system whatsoever means she has no external point of view to give her any perspective. She's probably the best-written character Morinaga's ever made, honestly.

All this does raise a concern, however. Morinaga's done such a good job depicting Yuna's ongoing self-destructive spiral that I kind of don't see how she can pull Yuna out of it without a massive asspull? As much as Rena loves her (and holy shit is Yuna lucky to have met Rena because she would be a prime target for abusers otherwise), she's self-confident and self-assured enough that I don't think she's capable of really understanding what Yuna is going through. Everything she does that to most people would reassure them just deepens Yuna's anxieties further. But Morinaga doesn't really do sad or even bittersweet endings so...I guess we'll see?

Why haven't they made an adaptation of Milk Morinaga's mangas yet? Girlfriends is basically the Yuri Mangan

Man I totally thought the drama ended last year when I opened this chapter.
Woe is me I was dead wrong... C'mon stop with the stupid drama already and give us fluff & lewd back!
Thanks for the translation!

I'm 100% biased because Girlfriends was my introduction to yuri but... I love this author and this series, thanks for the upload and translation!

i love this series but its basically impossible to stay invested with how long the gaps between chapters are. i can't believe this started in 2017. i kind of feel bad for the author being stuck with it for so long. i'm sure they're doing other things besides but it must feel like a slog
