Oh god Ema please don't resign yourself to this being all you're going to get, augh.

Is this the first time we've had Ema's POV and thoughts?

Both of them want eachother SO bad! But neither can move a muscle because the tiniest bit of doubt is enough to know they're risking everything.

Except of course they're not because we know they're not. But they don't.

At least this is an untenable situation. I'm looking forward to it already.

i've been like "is this finally it???" every chapter for the past like 8 chapters. the tension is crazy

RAAAAAAAAAAAA MY HEART

It's not often that I feel bad for a dude in a Yuri Manga. Mostly cause about 99% of the time they're either background/side characters or outright the antagonist. Hario seems like a pretty stand-up guy though, and he really does love Ema, too bad the poor fella doesn't realize his happy ending and Ema's don't exactly line up.

I've never read so many commenters wishing for a character to cheat on a perfectly good husband.

we've had a few now!

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/pinky_candy_kiss_ch09#1 (this entire chapter)
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/pinky_candy_kiss_ch14#17 (last half of ch 14)

So close, yet so far...

I don't actually want her to cheat. I want her to keep it platonic until after she leaves her husband.
This is also one of the few cases where I've thought poly would be fine if they're able to operate that way.

Indeed, it's not about cheating. Just that they will need to find out about each other's feelings before we can in any way talk about further developments like leaving her husband, since without that she really has no reason to do so.

Ploy in this manga is something I never thought about, it might be interesting to see, given how much those two love Ema. :) But I just want the girls to be happy, whatever truly makes them happy TvT

poly route would not make sense imo bc ema does not have any semblance of romantic interest in that man. i think he will always be someone she loves and is grateful for, but it's pretty clear she's only romantically interested in takara

Well, I guess the best outcome would be the husband being understanding and knowing he can't keep Ema by his side because she'd be happier with Takara and so set her free.

Actually loving someone means wanting them to be happy, innit?

im a toxic monoshipper. i have a feeling ema has already cheated but im only sad bc it’s not with takara. unless u count emotional cheating

God she needs to get divorced! Like genuinely, Hario so shouldn't matter in Ema's decision making because she's guilt tripping herself into staying right now.

So she needs to get divorced, marriage is a two person deal and it doesn't work if only one of them wants to be in it.

The author has me tied down on the rack and gives the handle another turn.

"Ah! No more!" I cry in pain.

"No more?" she asks coyly.

"No... more..." I beg, secretly savoring the delicious emotional angst.

my heartttt, I can't. Also I'ts been implicit and obvious but they finally said they are in love. I love this so much ❤️

I think we might at least be getting some catharsis (just in time for new different kinds of angst), if both Takara and Ema end up at the lesbian event and run into each other then it'll at least expose to each of them that the other one is a lesbian

I know that this is a “dramatic work” (and hence the Idiot Couple tag is out of bounds), but the angst and density here is reaching close to humorous levels. Their advice-giving female friends are at the “Just fuck already!” stage, and even sad-sack Hario is like, “At least she’s at a hotel with the woman she’s in love with and not dead in a ditch somewhere.”

And I’m loving it.

Oh god the uselessness of those two.

I can't even fault them, though, because of the marriage thing.

i'm starting to get a little impatient with these two. they need to spice things up, one of them needs to lose control and unintentionally make an advance or something.
