Ok, thanks. I think some elements deceived me. In the past two chapters Aya seemed to have accepted her love life with Risa, she even had a talk with her mother and she had a different hairstyle. So I don’t really get it, to me this seems like a big step backwards regarding the development of the characters.
Well to be fair, Aya didn't say anything about breaking up to Risa now. It's just that Risa was recalling their break up, and due to her weak moment (of period suffering) she lashed out on Aya.
Also, the latest chapter with their current development was 17 (where Aya visits her dad in hospital) and we still see her hesitating. She was asking herself what should she do. So it wasn't like she had taken a decision and now changed it again.
Yeah you’re right. I’m sorry, i have read chapter 24 again and now i see my mistake. It has been six months i think, so i didn’t remember it well. I thought chapter 24 was their latest development, so chapter 30 was kinda strange to me. But rereading chapter 24 I understood it was from the past and the latest development was chapter 17 like you said. Now it all makes sense, my bad
It was confusing. The hairstyle change is the key. It clearly shows what Aya looked like when they met for the first time when they were freshmen in college as being the same hairstyle as the later scenes in the chapter where they have the pretend wedding. So that would be during the time period when they were happily dating and, from what that chapter says, Aya claimed to not plan on doing the whole "marry a guy after college" thing. Obviously, something changed that lead to the flashback scene at the beginning of chapter 30 when she broke up with Risa and ended up married to a guy who left her 6 months later.
At this point, they are still just friends with benefits when Aya gets drunk, pretty much. But it is clear that Aya DOES still love Risa, she just can't admit it because of her parents.
Chapter 30 is painful AF, but it was needed. It's been pretty clear that Aya has been getting more and more frustrated.
