"Because I wanna meet you for a fourth time, and maybe I kinda wanna kiss you too."

Me: I kinda wanna see that too?

Damn, I can't wait for that. Lol.

It's a bit worrisome, how much she's looking forward to her time together with Shou and the eventual heartbreak. Rather than the romance itself, she's considering the bigger picture, and determined to take it all in, the entire experience, the sweet and the bitter.
She has an interesting take on things, and has this way with words. Shou's really just getting dragged along, although it's not like it's unpleasant.
This is pretty interesting.

I have this horrible feeling that when Shou finally climbs out of her shell, Chiharu's going to get hit by a car or something.

Chiharu is a nice contrast to Shou. She is blind, but she still can find joy in life and has a snarky sense of humor.

Reading this reminds me of waiting for final semester grades to be posted and just expecting a train wreck. I'm scared but I keep coming back to check because I'm now too invested and hope against odds that it will turn out ok

My ...this is so good, I love this.
But the more I read and the more I get the feeling it won't end happily. Not necessarily a bad end but I bet on a bittersweet one.

This is good. But it's also kinda dark. And with "kinda" I mean pitch black...

I do hope this doesn't end like Philosophia by Amano Shuninta...

"i have to pretend to care about things i have no interest in at all." that sure has rung true for me on more than one occasion. pretend to be a certain way just so that you seem normal, or even feel that little bit of normal. and not just about something like...sexual orientation, but something much deeper fundamentally.

It does have a pretty morbid atmosphere, especially because of the MC's current state, i'm sure if she ends up dropping a smile the page will shine like the sun

"Do you like me just because I told you I liked you?"

Asking tough questions.

I hope this story doesn't end with some "cure" or something. It might be nice if Shou could break ground with her sister.

What is going on with Shou... She's detached, but ...I can't tell much more than that. This manga seems to be leaning a bit more toward (alluring) dramatic darkness than psychological portrait/study. I get that the allusion to show being in a "much darker place than [her]" is playing on the fact that although Shou isn't blind, her world is darker. So I guess I could continue to have confidence that this Shou character is not just dealing with some temporary or childhood-trauma-driven disorder.

If this is a more serious manga, it's not just that Shou is getting pulled along. She's finally met someone who interacts without placing implicit expectations upon her. Blind girl (I've forgotten her name) is direct. Which is nice if you don't have ...interests (for lack of a better term). It's freeing. And safe. I think "pulled along" typically carries a negative valence, but I think that for Shou it's a positive because she wouldn't direct. Shou has trouble participating, but blind girl is providing a bridge into the world (a la Perks of Being a Wallflower's friends to the protagonist).

Definitely don't want to see the effects of blind girl leaving, but in life that's how it would usually go.

Well, I'm assuming quite a bit. I really can't tell much about Shou from the snippets thus far beyond what I mentioned earlier, she's detached, withdrawn, somewhat depressed and has some propensity for dissociating. Can't tell how much of what we've seen are side effects of "dealing with" the world versus ...her neurology. If these are all just the former, then she could have all curable things and that would be a bit of a let down.

Looking forward to the next update.

Yuri between a cynical and a disabled girl, in a lugubrious atmosphere, such a great story! Shou kind of remind me of Daria.

I know, it's like you have a horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach that something bad's going to happen but you can't stop coming back because it's so good. Augh.
