Genkai OL-san wa Akuyaku Reijou-sama ni Tsukaetai - Ch. 20

Frankly, cant they just kick that new girl away?
I would prefer to have some mediocre replacement in her place instead of someone sus that could decide to lose on purpose at any moment.

Well at least for me Lapis is a damage character with a lot of trauma, but she cares for Natori and wants to protect her, considering giving her up because she feels she still needs revenge for the sake of her dead sister(?).
On the contrary Diana is in love because Natori treated her well and made her feel hope and wanted. She is a teenager its normal her love is about how she feels not about the other person, which she still can't even call Natori by her real name. She is selfish in how she feels treating Natori like an object to be fight upon, without giving her the dignity to ask how she feels about it. She is in love with the idea of Natori not really her as a person, and is also selfish with her teammates and others for her personal desires.

Diana looks like a good character with a chance to grow but now is no it. She needs a redemption and maturity arc and could possibly be pair with a teammate, maybe when she recognises Natori as a person and not a projection of her own desire for love. Of course Lapis needs therapy and PTSD help, maybe it will be when she sees the damage taking revenge will cause to Natori hurting her the most, or she will really become the villainess.
All that is to say I really want Lapis to step on me.

Lapis prioritizes her revenge act over Natori's love. Atleast Diana puts love 1st.
"Diana has a chance to grow but now is no it. She needs a redemption and maturity arc" I'd say the same for Lapis with how dead set on carrying out her evil plans she is... despite how much Natori would try to convice her and deter her.
On the contrary, Diana tries to be on the same page as Natori, carefully listening to Natori's thoughts &ideas and acting on them.
Im in no way against Lapis×Natori❤... but adding Diana to the equation, id pick Diana or poly

I guess some people are into the whole "I can fix her" / "she can make me worse" stuff, which works pretty well with Lapis x Natori, but that's not the main appeal for me.

Good point i can see that. ...Actually that would be my thing too had i not felt like she'd be missing the (imo) better choice... even sounding more guaranteed/stable with how things currently r. Lapis is conflicted feels like she may rlly push Natori away for good.

As the story progresses, Lapis is torn over pursuing her revenge and she did consider to stop it but she also believes she's too deep and consumed by hatred to stop and that's why she's subtly trying to push Natori away, to not drag her down with her.

Oh god page-6 so affairy!

I'm afraid I'm liking this pairing way more than the principal one

This seems like a very unfair sport if they allow magic spells

I see your point, not a fan of Diana, but not against her either.

our girly Diana taking Ws in this arc so far, I CAN ALMOST TASTE THE POLY ROUTE! But..... man, am I scared :[

 

[KeraFury]

somehow i dont think my diana+lapis+natori polyship is going to work out

 

[lowarctic]

there’s so much scheming it’s like I’m reading lesbian Succession

 

[Koneko_Nyaa]

4:20 - I wonder if this is the reason the volumes are split the way they are.

 

[Mlfg_AK]

Unpopular opinion but i rlly wish for Diana x Natori. That or a poly. Man they're such a cute pair! Idk why u all prefer Lapis who's unsure of her own feelings over Diana who'd go to the other ends of earth for Natori

I wouldn't say Lapis is unsure of her own feelings, if anything she's more aware of them than anyone, that's why she's going out of her way to make sure Natori is not (more)involved in what she's doing, heck! Lapis is aware Natori knows what she's planning and accepted it but she know how deep of a hole she is in and doesn't want that for Natori, she's willing to sacrifice herself for her cause, but she's not willing to sacrifice Natori for it

Sigh... Diana really deserves so much better. It’s honestly disappointing that Lapis is still positioned as the main love interest, as I find Diana x Natori so much more compelling. But there’s never been any real competition, it's been obvious from the start who the endgame will be. So why drag out this love "rivalry"? Ngl, it’s made me lose a bit of love for the manga.
