Chaosteam posted Chapter 28 on their FB a few days ago.

Good thing to heard. I didn't use Facebook so i couldn't know.

So, is Risako actually in love with Kaoru and everything has just been a fucked up plan to get her and Reiichi apart?

Risako is totally in love with Kaoru, isn't she?

Yeah kek, i think the credit page is mean to be ironic but it's probably the truth. Risako understand she can't have Kaoru so she decide that Reichii wouldn't have her too. Big question is still why Reichii decide to marry Kaoru if he confess to Risako in the first place. Is it really out of pity of because her mom ? Did Risako decide to cheat now to make them breakup or did she always been cheating ? We got far more questions than answers.

why Reichii decide to marry Kaoru

He looks like a pushover so probably was forced by his mom and somewhat of a guilty conscience towards Kaoru, he has never looked really invested in the marriage.

I wasn't expecting for Uta to have a rival for Kaoru's affections though.

this is weird now

No, you're not supposed to ask those questions! You don't need those information to enjoy that story!

Bro what is happening. Like I can't believe the best part of the series actually going further might not be uploaded for a long time

To me it doesn't seem like Risako loves Kaoru, at least not yet, but rather she just sees her as a close friend that she didn't want to see get hurt over an indecisive and lazy guy look Reiichi. She could also be proving a point. Reiichi might've done (and is currently doing the same thing) to Kaoru. He doesn't love her but he has no reason to reject Kaoru and that's why they're married. Maybe Risako was trying to prove a point to Kaoru about how Reiichi really feels for her and protecting her. Kaoru's last line about lying about being in love could be applied to Reiichi's relationship with her.

Yeah, i feel ya. At this point I really want to drop the series, it's really become a shit show and the yuri is all but gone now (even if they go with Risato being in love with Kaoru, it's an unnecessary yuri trope no one really likes).

I would agree with you but the fact that she is still cheating with Reiichi after their marriage is only hurting Kaoro physically (broken leg) and mentally. Risako is supposed to be smart and logical but there is little logic in how she's going about this "protecting".

Kid Uta is so cute.

Everyone is gay!

I used to think that manga is a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy.

Well... I mean... tragicomedies do exist, so... this may be one...?

Wow, Uta's role in the story has been flawless in the last chapters, truly the MVP.

Seems like Risako might like Kaoru imo. I hope not though, there's way too many stories where the MC's love interest has someone who likes them too and creates conflict that way as a "rivalry", it gets kinda old and a bit cliché. Shit, like there's even some in which the love interest keeps getting people who like them piled on and the main one never gets resolved or it does so reeaaally slowly, I don't wish the main "plot/story" to drag on considering these chapters are already pretty slow to come out, let alone resolve conflicts.

Rraaghh rraaghhh my rageeee my faking rage please calm down.
Fml how u ended with him at the end? I mean... All this time he's...

I don't know why I kept reading this until now.. Maybe I was still expecting something interesting to happen. But I'm tired know, it's just a pile of strange and unreasonable/unrealistic situations to create some awkward drama.

But I love the art wow

I feel like a broken record here after so many chapters, but we still don't have proof Reiichi cheated on Kaoru. I know to many it's a foregone conclusion, but there are quite a few twists that can change perspective (as this flashback is currently attempting to do).

So I don't honestly know whether Risako having a romantic interest in Kaoru is at all the way this is supposed to go. We have plenty of hints that she doesn't care about relationships and that she had no interest in Reiichi, but what we mostly have between her and Kaoru is envy. She envies the way Kaoru can be stupid and emotional and chase irrational dreams.

The question now is whether she wants to do these things to get more emotional responses out of Kaoru or if she really does care about her and wanted to spare her a bad fate. We do know that Reiichi only agreed to go out with Kaoru after Kaoru's mother died. That's when Risako and Reeichi broke up too. So Risako's plan to split them apart may have broken down, because she realized that Kaoru needed Reiichi to get through that. But now that Kaoru has stabilized she might feel confident that she can break them apart again. To "save" her from this hopeless marriage. She is certainly pushing both their buttons to raise friction.

If it really went the lesbian Risako route, that is at least marginally set up too. The reason she doesnt get into relationships and only focuses on work might be her sexuality. The reason she cares about Kaoru when she is generally neutral on everyone is that she could have feelings for her. It's quite interesting how several options popped up now in a short amount of time. This puts a lot of stuff into perspective.
