Happy Valentine's day to all the freaks and these two specifically

somewhat reminds me of Thoroughbreds idk,,, happy valentine's day ig (?)

The bottom one seems wrong to me, I think it's more like "Isn't it normal to only think about today".

That is a good point; I'll update it in a few.

For those who are lost regarding the ending, they are running away together and no one is getting left behind.
While there are sirens in the background towards the end, it is unlikely that these are for them since no one other than the two know about the situation.

I thought this was a pretty straightforward ending. When Maika begins her speech on page 32, the panels are showing us things a bit into the future. She "demands" all of Uta's money, thus they are messing up the house and taking valuables, so it looks like a robbery that devolved into murders. At the end they are both running away together, while Uta is playfully saying "help, a robber" (which shocks Maika).

they're gonna get caught SO fast lmao

Unless the JP cops do the JP cops thing where they don't really bother investigating and just find a perp to stick it on (in which case the brother is heading directly to a life sentence)

Misread the title as Sudden Skinship.

Time to flee to Vietnam.

Why Vietnam?

Time to flee to Vietnam.

Why Vietnam?

It's related to this quote by Kurai Tora

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

Spoilers for the main introduction premise, Long short is that 2 women leave Japan to start a new life in Vietnam after a murder.

And then everyone was happy :-)

I'm still a tad confused about the ending, because it either means they're kidnapping her younger brother, taking him with them and lying about their circumstances after the sister has already proven she's willing to murder him in cold blood OR they leave him behind to validate the idea that it was a burglary gone wrong but also dumping the motherload of all traumas on him when he wakes up alone (or in police custody) and finds out what's happened.

Both implications have serious issues that go entirely unaddressed.
Scenario 1: The little brother should have serious questions about why they're suddenly running away, where their parents are, why none of the other siblings are with them, why they can't go back home, why they suddenly need to avoid the police, don't have a home or school etc etc.

Scenario 2: The little brother saw the the sister's "new friend" and will be able to identify her to the police, even if he doesn't connect that she's supposed to be the "robber" who broke in; the police will ask him what happened and he'll tell them about the "friend" and she'll become suspect number 1 regardless of his ignorance.

Both scenarios pretty much have the robber girl decide to become complicit in murder for not much reason (and potentially framed for it in place of the actual murderer rather than simply being complicit), and are likely to get them caught very quickly regardless of anything.

I feel like this missing some tags

I feel like this missing some pages.

It's not, I checked the originals.

I feel you missing some point
(sorry, couldn't resist dragging the joke)

I meant that the story seems jumbled to a point where more story to solve the jumble could be useful.
Or, as the post right below mine said,

I feel like this missing some plot

They definitely aren't kidnapping him.

For identification, it probably doesn't make that much of a difference. Since Uta is missing, police will be looking for her under the assumption that she's a kidnapping victim, if not a suspect herself. So they already have a huge lead regardless of what information the brother gives about Maika, if he even remembers enough after being drugged to enable them to identify her.

Both scenarios pretty much have the robber girl decide to become complicit in murder for not much reason (and potentially framed for it in place of the actual murderer rather than simply being complicit)

From an ordinary person's self-preservation standpoint, it might not have been the most rational, but from a human connection standpoint, there was plenty of reason. "She's gonna cry... I wish I could make her happy". Given that Maika's own parents abandoned her (she's homeless and was relying on prostitution to survive), she would naturally find Uta to be a sort of kindred soul. Having a companion would give her something to live for, and her life was already so bleak that it could hardly get any worse, if anything prison would probably be an upgrade for her since it means food and shelter without selling herself. (And if Uta wanted to frame her, that would have happened anyways, since she broke in, committed robbery, and then gave her real name)

Since Maika is used to street life already, I think they'll have a decent chance of surviving as fugitives. Plenty of unfortunate people in this world manage to live outside the law.

That is a good point; I'll update it in a few.

Cool. I kinda forgot the scanlators might read my post so I hope I didn't came across as rude. Thanks for the translation.

But yeah, I'm starting to lean towards Maika playing the robber and Uta playing along (a bit too loud) while running away with her, rather than Maika offering to take the fall and Uta picking up on it. It's just that Maika's logic for why Uta should also run away was so flimsy, I thought it might be deliberate.

I really doubt she's used to street life. Her outfits are perfectly decent, she hangs out with friends at a cafe or something and I thought pages 27 and 28 looked like she was on the way home from uni. It also sounded like this was her first attempt at prostitution and she hadn't even thought of robbery before, so if she really needs the money, it's probably a recent thing. But her friend thinks she doesn't even need the money that badly so I think she's just generally impulsive and reckless.

It also sounded like this was her first attempt at prostitution

I don't have the raws to check for nuance, but as translated, I definitely didn't get the impression this was her first attempt.

"Maika~ wanna crash at my place again?"
A hint towards homelessness, that's not a typical greeting. And if she's relying on her friends, she'll have a place to shower and keep her clothes clean.

"Weekends hit you hard, huh?"
Hinting at hardships. Maybe another explanation would be if she partied too hard on weekends or something, but that's not the impression given in this case lol

"Age: 20
Finally turned 18!"
Looks like she's been at it for at least two years going by her app profile.

"You mean you got cold feet just before he was gonna do you?"
"After all this time? lmao"
A confirmation that this isn't a new thing, but rather something that's been going on for a long time.

Also, another hint to her situation is how desperate she is. Prostitution for 2+ years, but is so sick of it that she runs away from a client. Then turns to robbing houses after she gets banned from her source of income. She shows concern for Uta and saves her brother's life, so she's probably not a completely rotten person, but is doing this out of necessity.

It's just that Maika's logic for why Uta should also run away was so flimsy

...why shouldn't she run away? Uta's the murderer, and her DNA is presumably all over the scene of the crime given how messy it was, not to mention her blood-stained clothes. Although she could try framing Maika, that thought probably didn't even occur to her. She was hoping Maika would kill her, self-preservation was not on her mind at all.

Oh good. Another doomed yuri

god i love fucked up yuri

I think Uta took things too far. Sure, her parents seemed irresponsible, but murder? Was that house the grandmother's? Were they leeching off her and shoving the responsibilities on Uta full-time?

Maika lectured her about talking to others about unfairness before it becomes a problem but running off with a girl that unhinged... Hope for Maika's sake that Uta is not the jealous type, or their newfound friendship/relationship is going to become a yandere route. Definitely want see that chapter!
