Nya-chan, I hope you're right. But if I were forced to put my chips down, I'd have to say the yuri subplot will probably "end" in a romantic three-girl friendship.

Chapter 17 was useless. It was entirely focused on Subaru's character development, but I don't find him that interesting.

And not enough of the girls in this chapter.

But yay, slumber party!

I'm sorry to dissapoint you @Nya-chan, but Takoyaki t-shirt-kun was just a huge red herring. He's an actual guy who Washio fell in love for some reason

I ship Washio and Tsukasa. Forget everyone else. They make such a cute couple!

Honestly, in the earlier chapters when Tsukasa was going to say yes to the boy, Washio seem to be hurt by jealously, her emotions seemed to have started to sway, until Tsukasa said never mind.

I have no clue what the writer is thinking, but I really hope someone, not the boys, end up together. lol

This manga can easily be made into an anime!!

PS - By not the boys, I mean he only "likes" the brother when he looks like Tsukasa, but if he can love him for who he is, then thats okay. lol

I wish evil Tsukasa was real

Subaru is more damaged than we thought

I don't quite get Subaru's conflict in here, is he mad that Asakura is an actual nice guy and that Tsukasa won't be able to turn him down because of that? Or what is he conflicted about?

It seems like something happened which he hasn't talked to Tsukasa about, and it seems to have something to do with a confession. At least, that's what I'm reading from it. We won't find out 'till volume 5, but my guess would be that when they were young and looked like each other someone mistook Subaru for Tsukasa and confessed.

everyone has a different pairing in their minds, it's hilarious...

There are so many possibilities but I can't see any way this is ending up happily for everyone.

I think he's mad because Asakura won't be hateful....like Subaru cant predict how Asakura would react if Subaru confesses?

My honest thoughts? It's extremely clear that none of the thee girls have the slightest interest in the girl that likes them. Like, their loves aren't just normal unrequited, they're super mega ultra unrequited. I can't see this love triangle going anywhere. Only potential romance in my opinion is the glasses guy and Tsukasa's brother.

I dunno... I mean how can you say that when the next ch is gonna have a slumber party?! Lol, nah I get it, this story is good because it really explores the many points of liking/unrequited love storys...it'll most likely be a long wait for any of the girls to get together since they've built so many hurdles for themselves to get through...regardless tho im totally for WashioXTsukasa !
Love Washio's new hair too ^_^

Massive poly pileup?

i...i think im more interested in the yaoi more than the yuri at this point...thats a first

I was thinking it was more along the lines that Asakura doesn't find it creepy if people that don't know him confess to him, since Subaru had the experience of someone mistaking him for Tsukasa and confessing to him.

Subaru's main issue is he doesn't want to get separated from his sister, and sees any kind of "love" relationship with someone would place him as the second most important person in his sisters life. I honestly think that Asakura just misunderstood what Subaru was trying to say to him like here and said something was more hurtful than intended since it wasn't referencing what he thought it was.

I think the creepiness that Subaru might be referring to is having feelings for someone that you don't know, and possibly being selfish by trying to force those feelings onto someone else by confessing to them outright?

I would honestly read an entire independent manga just about Subaru.

I think you might be right. Subaru seems to unconsciously like Asakura and wanted to know if he would have the same mindset that he does regarding those types of confessions. Since he didn't seem to undertand him, he got mad at him for not doing so. It also seems that Subaru might have had an unpleasant confession in the past and thats why he asked those questions to someone who gets confessed to a lot.

Looks like we got ourselves a mini Norman Bates over here.

This manga be having people posting in paragraphs.

slumber party? thats the perfect opportunity for them to finally not confess to each other again!!!
Subaru definitely has something for Asakura, and i cant wait how it will get resolved too.

well, child asakura looks like the takoyaki shirt-kun imo

can't wait for ch 18!(・Д・)ノ

hee hee heee im still really enjoying this

slumber party woop woop!

subaru is the cutest girl tbh

I think this chapter hints of Asakura being Washio's first crush. Just from him saying he was confessed to in his sixth year of school which is still elementary in Japan. And that flashback to him as a kid and how it was suspiciously shown from the back as to not show the front of his T-shirt.

But seriously, the main characters should really focus on what their love interest is now and not that first moment they shared together.

Kotooka seems to be the only one doing that. The scene in Chapter 2 where she was talking about Tsukasa with Washio as they were looking at her practice stands out; the fact she seemed to look up that information herself. And I always to remember Asakura's words to Tsukasa about "to know is to like someone", and that they may be the arc words of the story. While the inner turmoil she's going through may be a large factor, Kotooka is definitely the most rational out of the three in handling their crush. And that's why I think she's the least likely person to change love interests, because she's actively trying to fall out of love with Tsukasa.

I have a very strong feeling that Asakura x Subaru won't be confirmed at the end. Maybe an open ending with Asakura being rejected and Subaru try to cheer him up or something.

The reason is because the manga so far has been trying so hard to create a reason for Subaru to cross-dressing (the only reason that we suspect his sexuality right now). Which frankly kinda fall into the "sexuality is dictated by childhood upbringing" that Japan and East Asia especially don't believe in.

The author may tease us now, but with current tangle on relationship, it may take another whole manga to set Subaru and Asakura up. Way after the love triangle is solved
