I feel like this missing some tags… like violence maybe yandere? But idk I guess it technically doesn’t apply to the relationship.

Edit: Well now I look stupid or maybe my lack of sleep is getting to me. Could’ve sworn it had the wholesome tag.

It did initially have the wholesome tag; it was just very quickly changed to the violence tag.

Well that was unexpected

Well...Yuri and Violence tags never fails with its unexpectancy. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well THAT was a thing.

It's the one shot version of Stupid Woman 26:00. Good luck to the new couple(?)

what the actual fuck

It took me a little bit to understand Maika's situation. The artstyle is my favorite part, hope to see more of this author. The story is good but for some reason it felt strange, idk, a little silly even

I'm still not sure what her situation was.

Was she the only one taking care of the grandmother, and after she died because she didn't get her medicine on time, she basically snapped after realizing no one else in the family even noticed?

Would you mind explaining, because I'm still having trouble figuring out her situation. I got that she hasn't seen her mom in 12 years, implying that something bad happened to her, that weekends are particularly rough for her, she needs money, and a friend was offering to let her crash at their place, so she might not have a home of her own, but I feel like there are a few missing pieces that are preventing me from putting together a complete picture.

That's Uta.

Also, I don't think the slightly delayed meds caused her grandmother's death. Going by the preceding scenes, she was already in pretty steep decline, to the point where she doesn't even recognize Uta at the end. So, I think she just died of natural causes and it happened while Uta was asleep.

The real problem is that the rest of her family left her care entirely up to Uta, and did nothing to help prepare her for what was coming or to talk to her about the effects of mental decline. The way they didn't even notice that the grandmother had died, let alone trying to comfort Uta and reassure her that it wasn't her fault, was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

I mean, caring for a dying relative, while the rest of your family goes out to have fun, and thinking they passed because of a mistake you made would be incredibly hard for a full grown adult. For a child? I'm not sure they deserved to die over it, but it's not far off.

When people do that thing where they question or wonder how one can get a date in the modern age, they should be shown this.

Huh. Interesting premise, but felt a little bit disjointed in places.

Dam, all that and she still betrayed her in the end.

Yeah, I facepalmed hard on that second to last page. Like, wow, Maika. You really are a scumbag. You gave that whole spiel about starting over and running away together only to snap right back to burglar mode and demand all her money.

I feel like this missing some pages.

I feel like this missing some plot.

The burglar girl didn't betray the murderer girl; quite the opposite.
She decided to take the fall and pretend it was a robbery that ended in murder. That's why she asked for all the money; the murderer girl understood her intentions and started yelling help, robber!" when the cops arrived.

That's what I gathered as well, yeah.

I feel like this missing some pages.

It's not, I checked the originals. I have a few corrections/clarifications, but even after reading the original, I'm still confused.

page 1: "weekends hit you hard"
I don't think she meant in general, just this one.

page 2: "...sounds about right". "which is it"
I think the original is more like "...that's it" "what is?". Like, being accused of robbery gave her the idea of trying it later that day.

page 28: The middle speech bubble's not really wrong, but I think "Because I feel like everybody's surprisingly nice" would be a little clearer.
The bottom one seems wrong to me, I think it's more like "Isn't it normal to only think about today".

The middle bubble coming from the top panel but being placed after the "why" is really confusing. At first, I somehow interpreted it as that scene happening after the robbery, but I guess she's just answering the friend's comment that she's weirdly optimistic in the flashback and then the same logic applies to Uta's question somehow.

I still can't really make sense of Maika's reasoning for why Uta should run away and it's not a translation issue. And if she's gonna play the robber and let Maika stay, why offer to run away in the first place?

It was kinda sweet!!

My interpretation was that, because Uta was hesitating indecisively, Maika gave her a push by playfully acting as a robber, at which point Uta laughed and played along. Since the idea was to run away while leaving her brother thinking a robber committed the murders, I believed that was just an act and they would run away together after all. But I started to doubt my interpretation after seeing other people interpret it as taking the fall. Maika's facial expression and their relative positions and poses on the last page makes it very unclear to me what's actually happening.

That was cute albeit in a messed-up sort of way.
