Girl, you didn’t even get your question answered. She really got scared away with “Are you her woman?”

Really was expecting her to tell glasses to STFU so Fuuko could answer her question or smthn, not walk away smh

I was surprised Yuni had the spine to slap the intruder, but then didn't expect her to just turn and walk.

God, the author really has succeeded in making Yuni just the absolute worst. Hmmm, my lover is clearly distraught, and is shaking... guess I'll just leave her with this woman she clearly doesn't want to be around ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Also, is that Jesus imagery for Fuuko here https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_girlfriends_not_here_today_ch31#15 ? Wild.

Don't worry people who see no issues with all the shit she did through the entire story will make up an excuse for this too.

The story feels like it's trying too hard to make us sympathize with Taki to justify all her messed up actions.

Yuni is an asshole that sees Fuuko as her savior. I think she was overwhelmed by the idea that someone like Fuuko could be in a position like that. Most of the imagery we see of Fuuko from Yuni's mind is of a beautiful woman that feels almost like an angel. Distorting that idea of Fuuko with how she looked in that moment probably caused Yuni to bail.

As a selfish and self centered person she seeks comfort rather than providing any comfort herself. On top of that she acts very distant when a person breaks the perception she has of them. Yuni felt like Nanase was pushing her away so she cheated. Now that Nanase is trying to be a better gf Yuni's views of her just being a gf that doesn't care about her is ruined, which leads to her growing distant from Nanase. I feel like the same thing happened here. Her belief of what Fuuko should act like is different from how she was acting here, which lead to Yuni pushing her away.

Her being self centered was also showcased. One of the main things that pushed her and Nanase apart was the idea that Nanase spends her time with others. That they get to see sides of her that Yuni doesn't. I think with this new woman it might be the same case. Yuni at the end might be missed that it's someone else that can make Fuuko break down so easily. That it's someone else that was her first partner. It takes away from Yuni's idea of Fuuko being her savior, and in Yuni's mind makes her just another sex partner. Even worse a sex partner that isn't able to see sides of Fuuko that the new woman was able to see. Similar to how she views Nanase and how she interacts with her teammates.

I think that's exactly it. She saw a side of Fuuko she didn't think was possible and it shook her. The strong dominating Fuuko was now groveling at the feet of another woman. The author made sure to focus on how Fuuko gingerly grabbed her jacket and meekly asked her to stop because that was what Yuni was noticing the most. I don't think Yuni fully understood the situation or believed Fuuko (considering their background).

She seemed so taken back by Fuuko's "out of character" behavior that nothing else registered before she was too overwhelmed or embarrassed to stay. What'll determine their future is how she reacts once she rationalizes and accepts this new information and also how Fuuko handles this woman (although the imagery doesn't make it seem like Fuuko can save herself). I'm interested in Nanase's role here too.

I'm team Fuuko so if this ends up being a wake up call to Yuni and she goes through an arc of finally realizing she loves Fuuko and not her current GF, I'd be satisfied. The most obvious path this could go down is this new girl serving as an obstacle that makes her realize this, along with more Fuuko backstory.

But forget all of that, what the hell did they mean with that Crown of Thorns imagery? I'm a sucker for religious symbolism and this could mean a dozen different things, especially because it's being PUT on her. I know this will sound goofy but...is Fuuko meant to represent Jesus in this story? No I'm being completely serious.

Same, I want Fuuko and Yuni to fix each other and become a healthy couple.

I doubt the average Japanese author has in-depth knowledge of Christian imagery, and if they did it's weird that they would start using them only halfway through the story. I think they did it "because it looks cool".

Maybe not the average Japanese person, but there's plenty of Japanese authors I've read that do have in depth knowledge of Christianity, so it isn't out of the question. Plus, you can have surface level knowledge of it and still use it as symbolism in your story. Fuuko might not literally be an allegory for Jesus (although I find that parallel hilarious, so I'm going to stick with it), but it's obviously communicating suffering and sacrifice.

I don't have in-depth knowledge of Buddhism, but I've got some, and I can recognize a fair bit of symbolism because I visit art museums.

Tokyo has the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Western_Art

"Paintings; 18th century and earlier
The Main Building displays pre-18th-century paintings, including those by Veronese,[7] Rubens,[8] Brueghel, and Fragonard.[9] Many of these paintings are religious paintings featuring imagery from Christianity."

What are the odds that a skilled Japanese artist has been to an art museum, or read art books, and gotten some exposure to Western art motifs?

Now Yuni gets cucked by the new girl. I wanna know what she has on Fuuko that she became such a pushover. The way she's acting you would think she has her on gunpoint lmao.

The next best thing that could happen to this story, now that we've learned the Mashiro its kinda of a "sensei" of sorts to Fuuko, its that she and Natsume become acquainted with each other, buddies, then Natsume becomes the next "Fuuko" or Mashiro even.

I think it's supposed to represent how Fuuko is Yuni's savior. The person that came to her out of nowhere when she felt alone and wanted someone to love and care for her. Now that savior is being hurt by someone else. The imagery of Fuuko as Jesus with the crown of thrones and the new girl being in the image could represent Yuni seeing Fuuko (the person that saved and was their for her like Jesus was for his people) as being abused by the new girl, who represents her saviors tormentor (similar to the people that tormented Jesus). Yuni is just too selfish and prideful to tell Fuuko she actually cares about her.

The thorn crown means that Yuni sees her almighty savior Fuuko (all hail queen of the lesbians) cannot even save herself, just like "all hail king of the jews".
