I get Komaki's logic, in a sense.
It feels like there had to be some sort of ...."more", I guess, in terms of a catalyst, than simply "Wakaba didn't look at me in a special way, like she did those other girls in her life". I think that feels a bit too shallow of a starting point, to then go "if she won't love me the most, then she needs to hate me the most".
I know the saying goes "the opposite of love isn't hate, but indifference", and that hate is simply the same extreme of love, but inverted - but I think that's the general issue with the story up to this point.
I want there to be some trauma to Komaki's early life that makes her think that "hate" is a stand-in for love, rather than just arriving at that conclusion in some sort of vacuum. Maybe if she thought "I can't have Wakaba, so making her hate me will help drive my feelings for her away by making her leave my life entirely" - which backfires, and then we get to this point.
Maybe that was actually spelled out at one point and I just missed it, but as-is from what I have seen, it feels a touch disconnected, and shallow.

All that aside, it feels like the endgame, but I also thought that the novelization went past this point, so I guess we'll wait and see.
But if they're finally getting to the point that Wakaba and Komaki are on the same page about their feelings, and Komaki starts making an effort to cut the "make her hate me" nonsense going forward, then at least we'll maybe get some more substance out of their relationship, and possibly some more development for Komaki from here.

But, thank you for the TL work, and for continuing this series.

Oh yeah. That's the good soap opera stuff I'm here for. Two crazy ladies in love.

It does go past this point with more focus on their relationship but it's not a ton more. As I've been saying, I could see there being one more volume since the manga volumes have mostly matched up with the novels when broken up into 4s. I'm pretty sure chapter 19 or 20 will be the end of volume 3, then we could have a 4th. We'll see though. They have options and I haven't heard the author say anything about it ending yet.

It does go past this point but it's not chaotic in the same way and there's not that much.

I would normally wonder if maybe this adaptation would try to expand beyond the novelization, but I'm also not really certain what that would even look like, as far as story left to tell.
Even another volume's worth, assuming ch 20 would round out volume 3, would mean 4-5 chapters of ...I guess Wakaba finally breaking through Komaki's shell of self-dissonance over her own feelings?
Which kinda feels like it's happening right at the next chapter (whether that's the ending of v3 or the start of v4).


Either way, "soap opera" definitely describes this series, I agree. Not in a bad way, either - just in that "over the top drama" fashion that's so central to that type of media.

Well they have some issues of "we're finally together....ok how does this look like actually?" That's mostly what the final volume was focused on. I could see that taking a few chapters. At the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if they decide to cover that stuff in a shorter span of time, like how some anime adaptations will cover the resolution in an episode. So I'm interested in what the next chapter looks like.

to your spoiler'd bit - that definitely seems like something that needs to be hashed out between them, yes.
Was interesting to see Matsuri effectively push Komaki toward Wakaba this chapter, though. The whole selfless "as long as the person I love is happy," bit felt a bit cheap, but I also know that it's a valid way to live and feel, so.
I suspect that Wakaba & Matsuri will need to find some sort of resolution/closure, perhaps, at least from where I'm sitting - or at least Matsuri's feelings for Wakaba, if nothing else. So that's another chapter, as well, or at least part of one.

But yeah. Can't wait for 2 months from now!

 

[Nautical]

so she was gona rape her and the bestie was like are you sure about that.

 

[ShekelyN]

I read this manga and stop it when them go aquarium i wait until this moment when i see this scene in x I back and love this manga.

 

[Kyonne]

Man, i think i don't like Saint Wakaba very much

 

[Hresvelg_]

Love me some messy lesbians

 

[chirpy13]

Segs incoming?!

 

[agolloh]

She finally did it..

 

[onedumninja]

So she was gonna finger wakaba as a way to make wakaba hate her? I'm pretty sure that's a fucking crime 0_0

Komaki is out of her damn mind but if wakaba is down to be her lover than it is what it is.

Toxic yuri is shocking but also really interesting lol

 

[EnterName]

lesbians raping each other! yay!

 

[Nekotsune]

Ok the overall plot aside, my brain is just not braining rn komaki finally having her wall down and opening up her true feelings to wakaba is absolutely adorable.

Komaki is blushing a lot in recent chapters that I just-

 

[Lowfyie]

Komaki, girl, tf were u gonna do

They have a loooot of stuff to sort out, so... Good luck for them! At least we finally got the mutual confession I've been waiting over a year for!

 

[BrotherCoa]

Intense sesbian lex incoming.

 

[noobplant]

Wtf??

At least its consensual(?) now I guess.

The vibe I got from the earlier chapters was that Komaki didn't exactly grow up "right". Like, Wakaba has been saying this entire time that Komaki was too perfect and that she would lose to her in something to break that perfection. I think she was being 100% literal in that. Komaki had never once failed to win something she was trying for in her entire life. As a result, she really didn't know what "losing" was and couldn't deal with failing to win Wakaba's heart.

I think that when this became clear to Wakaba, that's what made her change her mind on Komaki. It proved what she had been saying about how Komaki needed to lose, and by showing Wakaba her weakness, she lowered herself down to everyone else's level like Wakaba wanted.

At this point i just skimmed through 🥲..

There's good toxic yuri and then there's whatever this is 😐

It feels like it's just toxic to force some form of connection in the story, but also tries to be a "wholesome" romance and they're honestly conflicting..
There's virtually zero reason for mc to love Komaki, but she does, just because, makes all the drama almost feel like a comedic form of S&M, as a reader i really can't find a reason to sympathise with Komaki
