Im calling it now, Niji is gonna write Azuki into her story as an antagonist and make her out to be a predator somehow.... infact, gender being wrong aside, shes already in the process of doing it!

Not yet but

Shes also gonna be crashing so hard real soon and its gonna be full of yikes.

Correct!

4 girls

relatively normal fetishist
needs therapy
needs more therapy
needs a restraining order

In order of listing:

Remu
Meguru
Azuki
Niji

I'm still leaning toward Meguru being "more therapy". Though she may be about to traumatize Azuki again.

Niji may graduate from "restraining order" to "straitjacket".

Well, while it may be even worse for her, I guess it's at least safer for everyone else involved that instead of forcing reality to conform to her fantasies, Niji is now rejecting reality itself...

Meguru " im traumatized of sex and I'm terrified that's all you care about , but I also want to be close to you and be with you but I don't think I can do " that"
Azuki " I didn't know , I'm deeply sorry for causing you more pain, I just loved you and while I won't deny having those urges I would've never pushed , I was content being with you "
It's that damn easy meguru damn .

Especially rough since what she was watching was Remu making actual progress rehabilitating Azuki so she'll stop thinking herself+lewdness=shame&self loathing (even if that wasn't exactly what either of them was after).

That's conservation of drama at work. Although I do appreciate the poetic irony where "curing" one character of her revulsion induces it in another.

Another thing I appreciate: p. 19 really has the feel of a flashback, even though it's present (Meguru driving). Or rather: it gives the feel of a manga MC's usual delusions in spite of its factuality. Great composition.

Holy shit hitting the fan. I'm on the edge of my seat. Remi is in physical danger, and azuki is in emotional danger. Can't wait for the next chapter

Niji san finally snapped.
She found out about the Remu san and she isn't the Remu san she thought she is.

Will Remu san finally get to know about the author behind the novel online?

I hope she does.

Oh no it’s parasocial delusion meltdown time

Holy shit

"You're writing yourself totally OOC, when I specifically DNW'ed that in my request!"

And this is why kid's false interpretations and expectations of a person can be deeply harmful to any kind of relationship.

Girl really went and said #NotMyRemu

Why wouldn't they make sure they can't be seen from the outside, that window is a big as the door lmao

Yup, as expected Niji crashed and burned after seeing them together. Also, not really liking how Meguru is taking things with Azuki.

Girl really went and said #NotMyRemu

lmao

absolute mind break

I need to reread coz i can't get past her saying "I'm heading off" to a pair of headless figures.haha

Up until now I figured parasocial relationships only applied to people ya didn't know directly, but Niji has set out to prove that wrong apparently.

ohhh I love this manga!!
what a neat exploration of people and their individual fixations/experiences and being treated as not relatable as another human beings.
super love the idea and characters

meguru and niji both are trying to force their ideals onto their crushes
azuki and remu are trying to learn to accept themselves as they are.

so fascinating how there's all these characters who are interested in being in each other's lives but it's like hot oil and water

Did not have Niji calling Remu an imposter to her face on my bingo card.

Although I'd need to reread the previous chapters (again) to get an better feel for the situation, that stern expression worries me. Please, for mercy's sake, Meguru, don't let this be another secret test. Neither Komugi nor I will survive it.

I'm more confused of who was the one driving the car

I'm more confused of who was the one driving the car

Why? Meguru is the adult, Meguru is in the driver's seat in Japan, Meguru shows up in a car to pick up Azuki.

It's really hard to read manga from between the fingers over my face.

Damn wish the next chapter was out now what a cliff ! Thanks as always translators for your hard work.

She's sooo delulu, AO3 or whatever japanese equivalent rotted her brain

she was probably ritten to begin with. engaging more in her delusions just increased it
