double checked last chapter, Yuni wasn't even standing out of place when Nanase hit her. She was exactly where she was supposed to be, and Nanase should have been running in a different lane, since judging by the hair of the girl who told Yuni to get ready, Yuni and Nanase are on different teams. there's no reasonable way for Yuni looking at Fuuko to lead to a collision. I think it's actually possible Nanase kneed Yuni's leg on purpose in anger over seeing her checking out Fuuko, possibly not expecting the result to be so bad, since she seems genuinely surprised/worried in the immediate aftermath.

That's interesting, especially since Fuuko drew attention to how unlikely that crash was this chapter and Nanase didn't have much of a comeback except to stare her down.

Oh damn, I really didn't see that final moment coming. Nanase's going dark now, huh? I'm wondering now how much that huge bruise on Yuni's leg was actually accidental, after seeing her throw her friend into the wall hard enough to knock her hairpin loose. Yuni was stopped wide out in the open when Nanase ran into her and there's no good excuse for why she did, except that Yuni in that moment was very obviously staring at Fuuko. I'd previously thought that Nanase wasn't bad, just a bad girlfriend for Yuni specifically. Now I'm not so sure.

Not buying it and I'll eat my shoe if this turns out to be the case. Because:

1. I don't feel this is the type of manga that will make one of the characters abusive. It would immediately cast Nanase as a villain when the author has so far made all the characters simply "flawed".
2. The author would have hinted more about it than what we've seen. This work is a lot of things, but "subtle" is rarely one of them. Not that being straightforward is a bad thing. (Or I suppose "gayforward" in this case :P)

Edit: Looking at the most recent chapter, I think the author is using the crash as symbolism for how Nanase treats Yuni in general (not paying enough attention to her and being oblivious to how she's feeling in general), with how Fuuko called her out directly on it with "Aren't you way too oblivious to what's in front of you? You're really not paying any attention to Yuni-chan at all, are you?"

2nd Edit: The "oblivious" comment can also be read as Fuuko taunting Nanase that she was oblivious when Yuni had previously been cheating on her and is now oblivious that Yuni is cheating on her again.

I came here to support this theory, I am not opposed to Nananse randomly committing acts of violence, but I think this interpretation suits the whole situation much better.

I would have entirely agreed with you before that scene of Nanase slamming her friend into the wall, sending enough force through her head to knock loose her hairpin. That's a pretty clear demonstration of her having anger and control issues imo. She's much more angry than she admits to herself, she's becoming more impulsive, and she's not great at moderating her strength instead of going all out.

Well another major element effecting my opinion is I simply want you to be wrong.

I'd be quite disappointed if this went the violence/abuse route because I'd just rather this story not go that dark.

I hope Nanase will apologize for her angry outburst because that was obviously out of line and she should immediately realize that.

Really sucks to be Yuki. Saw Yuni kissing Fuuko before and knows she is cheating, probably has some unrequited feelings for Nanase, and when she finally tries to hint at the cheating in her meek manner, Nanase is slamming her into walls.

You're just now realizing that Yuki has a crush on Nanase? It was already hinted that Yuki had that hots for her, not to mention a couple chapters ago she even suggested to Yuni should just break up with Nanase.

what a stupid development this was, why reset the progress after it was all in the open?

Well, she did just grab and slam her friend into a wall out of anger, so the violent outburst is already here and tied to her growing frustrations. But I do agree that it can go either way at this point, regarding the race.

It hurts my soul how this girl is being punished for doing the right thing...

I hope we find out in a couple chapters that Yuki actually enjoyed that and wants Nanase to do that again.

You, Sir, are my kind of reader.

And where is a "comedy" tag? Cause it's hilarious xD

at this point I’m just reading only the comments to get the gist of the story, because this i invested to much time and emotional energy to completely drop this garbage glorifying cheaters story, it gives me the impression Yuni will never suffer any consequences given she was fist found to cheat only to get more cheaters porn with some dap of nut job fetish “age play” from lunatic Fuuko

Yuni certainly hasn't done anything worth "suffering," her crime's about on the same level as "trolling the comment thread of a manga you're not reading because you hate the theme", I'd say.

And where is a "comedy" tag? Cause it's hilarious xD

I agree, the whole mommy thing is just too much. Though it kinda cancels the whole cheating drama out, making it much more digestible imo.

Natsume totally bumped into her on purpose. They should just break up.

I've seen her called Natsume a few times here and on Mangadex. Is there a joke I'm missing?

If you're reading a lot of different manga in parallel it can be easy to mix up names, I think. And when one person in the thread is confidently wrong, other people will start copying them assuming that person remembered correctly lol

Makes sense. I'm pretty sure I read a long analysis comment on Mangadex where she was called "Natsume" over and over again. I thought about saying something but it felt a bit rude to reply to such a high effort comment with "It's Nanase" :P

Now this makes me feel like I'm missing something too. It's still correct to refer to people by their surname right?

Is that her surname? Nobody ever addresses her by that so I don't even know it. I couldn't tell you Fuuko or Yuni's surnames either.

Edit: Fuuko was called "Taki" and Yuni "Asahina" in the most recent chapter, but I don't know when the last time Nanase was referred to by her surname.

It's her family name. You can search her up. Addition: It's not used often, but that's likely because they are all her friends.

Thanks for the info. It can be hard for me to remember the name of characters even when their names are constantly used because I'm reading a bunch of different ongoing manga.
Much less a name that's never used by characters in the manga. That's pretty much on the level of trivia.

The English spelling of her surname being so similar to the given name that the characters exclusively use to address her made me think the poster was just getting the name wrong since that's something I could easily do.
It seems both Gabinomicom and I both thought this was what was going on with the poster referring to her as "Natsume".

Nanase is a POS for shoving her friend.

Ong, just break up. If you know your GF is cheating and you can’t even be overprotective, and at the very least, check up on or, or idk, NOT leave her alone with the same chick she cheated on you with?

She could’ve totally made up an excuse to stay.

“I’m the one who bumped into Yuni so I want to stay by her side and make sure she’s okay”

Assert your dominance and be aggressive to the folks who deserve it, not the chick who’s on your side!
