Mixed feelings about this, I can see a whole lot of fuckery ahead.

^I would say Nene’s reaction to Taru telling her that she is cute was legitimate. She was crying. I think she was seeking validation/something different all this time (since she is pressured to keep being a stereotypical cold “doll” model and everything), and was overjoyed that she finally found someone who saw her for what she was and showed her that by taking photographs of her genuine expressions and reactions and stuff.

I think she and Amane were in a good relationship, but maybe she could have felt in her mind that Amane was not a genuine or honest person. As in, Amane does say she is cute and all that, but she (Amane) accomplished more than Nene did in the “cute” department. Plus there is the shady relationship between Amane and the senpai she could have found out about and saw it as cheating? But we have yet to find out since it’s still vague as to what exactly happened.

This story keeps me at the edge of my seat, it’s quite well written.

I don't care who ends up with who. As long as it's a good story. Which this still is so far.

Hmm... “am I cuter than Amane?” seems like she was envious of Amane somehow?... Is she one who seeks validation?

That question “am I cuter than Amane?” confused me as well, at first.

After thinking, I have a modest theory. Remember that pic with Amane that won an award, Sunset Girl? With Amane looking so cute and sexy? I suspect that this made Nene really jealous. Nene is the one who's a semi-pro model aiming to go pro, and she's in photoshoots all the time; she must have thought "it should have been me in the award-winning pic!" and then grew resentful of Amane.

If I'm right, this is a big part of why Nene broke up with Amane.

This is making me nervous. My heart keeps beating in a painful way.
I'm really afraid of what's to come.

I found Nene's dress very bothersome
Why wear a transparent dress over casual clothes?

So many things are yet to unfold in thus story and it's keeping me hooked. I don't really care (yet) as to who ends with who but rn, i'm starting to ship Nene and Kou

Because it's a little bit more appropriate than wearing it without anything on underneath it?

Well there is no accountng for fashion taste... Clearly this author's a bit too artsy for their own good sometimes.

Seriously, have you folks looked at actual Japanese street fashion? This stuff's pretty tame.

Huh, what's wrong with Nene and Amane? Why are they both insisted that they are NOT cute ... Was it supposed to cue for major plot point later on regarding their break up / misunderstanding / insecurities? Also, I really really hope the ship doesn't sink. If senpai and Kou are joining the contest together, it would extra cool that each of them photograph Nene and Amane individually and then end with them as a couple again ... Please author, don't break my heart T.T

I'd overall agree that she wouldn't stand out in Tokyo much (they love layers...), but comparing what people really wear to a Fashion Week has never been a good glimpse at "realism" ^^;

Why people so focus on Nene and Amane getting together again.
Poor Kou, people sure like to drop her like hot potatoes just see exes getting back together, they may look good but things change no matter how well they interact with each other.

I for one I'm happy we get to see these girls wearing lots of differents outfits, drawn in extreme detail, and in all sorts of styles.

There are too many manga where the characters wear nothing but one set of generic clothes and never seem to change.

(Or they switch between a sailor fuku at school and their one & only set of casual clothes everywhere else.)

What do you expect when she got so obviously wedged in there. Kou deserves her own happiness and not to be crushed between this triangle.

Hehe.
Yeah, we wouldn't want the authors to waste their precious stocks of brainpower and ink in creating too many outfits for their characters... would we?

Chapter 5 is out.

Was thinking more in terms of "junk bought and shortly thrown away in-universe" but sure.

Chapter 5 is out.

YAY!

Okay, I'm back. Now could someone explain to me what kind of human being on earth dumps a cute, sexy and adorable Amane-chan who is crazy in love with them!!??

... actually, I'm thinking that my theory about how it was all jealousy because of the Sunset Girl photo (and the award) looks more and more likely.

Lol Nakajou’s cameo...

Hmm... I wonder what happened, Nene seems very much in love with Amane before...

This series is gonna end with a lot of murder, maybe a suicide.

School Days bad end x10

After Kou x Nene built up now the author throw this chapter? I don't know which ship to support anymore. And yeah Amane no doubt is the cutest, I mean look at her cute little fang, it's so adorable.

I find it really surprising that so many people like Amane. I think she's incredibly annoying. She's short-sighted, narrow-minded, and embodies an anime archetype I despise. The short, pig-tailed, cutesy girl with lots of energy and an inferiority complex. I've seen her a thousand times and I never like her any more than I did the last time. She's stuck in the past and I don't want her getting back with Nene. She needs to learn to face reality and respect the feelings of others. But she's so loud and selfish that she only sees what she wants to. I can't stand her. Chapter 5 is easily the worst so far.
