Can't wait for Graduation Day when they all walk away knowing how NOT to act in a properly healthy relationship. I count this story as a time of education and self realization. Everyone, at one point or another, needs that and what better time than adolescence. Seriously though, this author really wants their characters to go through some kind of metamorphoses even if it means making them all look selfish and, well, like assholes to themselves, each other and the audience itself. It kind of makes you root for them in some weird way; 'Yes, suffer, suffer now. Go through those growing pains, discover who you are and BE better than this', kind of thing.

I really don't like these characters as people but I do like the way they're written as characters.

Lmao, this series man. Now some random ass chick appears to spice things up because it has gotten really stale. Nothing happened in those last chapters, the story went literally nowhere, except for Fuuko's kink. Every chapter was about Yuni still bitching like the angsty teen she is. I can't wait for this to be finished out of morbid curiosity what the author will spawn next.

Her best stories are her one shots imo. But lengthy series like this and luminous blue are just bad. As an artist she's so good though, she just needs a good writer.

If I cared about what's a "wise" way to spend energy I'd never post. Posting is for fun. And none of the interpretations we've all been posting have been excessive imo. Going big with it just means having even more fun :)

^^^ this. Ppl interpreting the story are having fun and getting invested. Nothing wrong with that.

I really hope Yuni does right by her next chapter instead of going "oh you're clearly together with that person who you obviously are refusing consent to so I'm going to act hurt and leave you alone with them".

She’s 100% gonna misunderstand, bet. Literally every character in this story lacks common sense + MC gets jealous easy and is hella moody, it’d be OOC if she suddenly gained sense now

It does feel unfortunately likely, but, like... She very clearly heard Fuuko saying no and stop and enough. She can see Fuuko very clearly being distressed by this situation. So I don't think it would be OOC for her to put these very obvious signs together... But it is sad that we're doubting her to begin with lol

I'm gonna bet, because Yuni didn't choose Fuuko, Fuuko tried to find someone else. Now Yuni will have to make a choice.

I really just want nanase to grow a backbone and realize yuni is selfish AF
Yuni doesn't want a partner she wants someone to worship her and put her first on everything . She has no direction no aspirations but wants everyone else to just be no where with her . I haven't disliked a protagonist in a long time

It's obviously an ex and Fuuko was obviously unwilling.

Fuuko didn't "try to find someone else".

Yes, the new character is here to test what Yuni really wants, but Fuuko isn't that fickle.

Time for Yuni to perform her usual routine of crying and feeling sorry for herself because she has no spine and just wants to be coddled by everyone while not having to commit herself to anyone :(

I bet on her understanding it's nonconsenual, getting upset anyway, and being upset with herself for feeling that way despite it not changing how she feels, leading to some type of strange sexual situation. That's not counting the whole dynamic of her not committing to Fuuko while wanting the reverse. She will also realize this is unreasonable without being able to change the feeling.

Well it's clearly not consensual buy why is Fuuko blushing and not pushing her away? In manga's SA scenes are way too often fetishized. When someone assaults you you grit your teeth and struggle looking clearly distressed, not all mushy like you are enjoying it.

It would be really out of character if Fuuko becomes a pushover to escalate the plot even further to keep people emotionally engaged. But considering the writing so far chances are high.

In my opinion, since she's calling her "Taki", which is familiar but not intimate, it means it's a senpai or some girl Fuuko met in a lesbian bar when she wanted to confirm her sexuality after she was "abandoned" by her childhood crush.

She was pushing her away. We heard her fight before Yuni got there and they're clearly struggling in that corner. "Blushing" also does not mean one thing in manga. Here, she's probably just flushed from the struggle. If this person was abusive in the past it wouldn't be unreal for Fuuko to have a complex because of that. She doesn't have to be strong in all contexts.

I thought it was pretty clear that Fuuko isn't as emotionally strong as she acts. That's why her behavior can be unhinged and why she ends up being a driving force of the weird sexual behavior. It's part her finding a way to work through her emotional issues and part that her experiences with Yuni are now her formative sexual experiences. She is trying to become for Yuni what she lacked in her life, hopefully gaining some peace and self acceptance in the process. That might happen if this weren't a manga.

We don't know exactly what happened before Yuni got there, but plot wise we likely need the flushed reaction. Yuni's reaction will be key to the immediate developments in the story. Fuuko crying while having a bloody nose would get a very different reaction from Yuni than what we saw, even if both are equally nonconsensual. Whatever got that reaction is less important, though I'm sure we will still be getting more information.

I clicked on this manga not realizing it was one I had dropped a couple of years ago. I am reminded of why I dropped it from that chapter I was unfortunate enough that read

This manga is so toxic I can't help but keep reading it, it's my little guilty pleasure. Hopefully Nanase will realize what a shitty girlfriend she has (and not saying she's a saint but she's quite innocent, I'd rather her be with someone who enjoys her same hobbies like Yuki).
