Too bad missy, you can't beat the power of REAL LOVE!
God I love these two dorks.

 

[kkakasih]

You can't do that type of shit and be "i did love u tho"

 

[yoorie19]

Good job, Suuna. Shoo the witch away from your Ruka.

two gay girls creating an impenetrable fortress against the forces of evil

Trying to make Suuna more insecure is impossible! Nice try, toxic yuri awakening character that for some reason exists in a majority of lesbian fiction

That's the thing, I think she  did love Ruka but realized only after she ruined everything

Like Ruka said Rin is basically kinda empty inside, the flashback pretty much showed us she's a broken individual who does shit just so she can feel anything so she probably only realized she had a good thing with Ruka way too late and now is trying to have her in her life in any way cause even it means being hated in her twisted mind she might have believed one day she could win Ruka back

I find funny how many kept whining about rape that didn't exist when the entire reason Ruka became like that is because Rin is a empty person who needs to play with other people to feel anything, that's literally her entire deal, Ruka became like she is cause she had her heart destroyed and played with

I think now the only question is if Rin future interactions with Suuna and or Ruka will change her and she'll get a redemption arc or something, probably a side couple with some other character

Anyone expecting her to be "punished" is delusional since it's not that kind of story and clearly not the point of Rin in the story

That was pretty anticlimactic, which isn't a bad thing, it was just such a dramatic chapter last chapter, I was expecting something more for this one.

I think being anticlimactic is the point lol, Ruka became who she is cause Rin played with her heart and destroyed it, they're not together anymore but Rin still try get a reaction out of Ruka cause that's the only way she can interact with her after she realized she lost someone she actually loved, at least that's the direction I suspect they'll go with Rin

Ruka not having much of a reaction or making a big deal of it is because she's healing, she's moving on from her justified hatred and bitterness thanks to Suuna love, Rin doesn't live rent free in her head anymore so what she did doesn't matter anymore, only her relationship with Suuna matters now and the past is irrelevant

Rin can't have Ruka love so she wanted her hatred instead but now she can't even have that cause Ruka is little by little moving on and stopping caring about her, which to Rin is probably worse than being hated with how twisted and broken her mind is

I honestly wonder if author will drop another lesbian on her path just so Rin heals too or if she won't appear anymore cause she's not important anymore

 

[BrotherCoa]

Like it or hate it this is what actual peak looks like.

I am so glad for both of them, they found eachother and that only made them stronger. Now they have bright future ahead of them. If this series ended in a few chapters I would be satisfied.

 

[af4zl]

the power of honesty, sincerity, and pureness of Suuna lol

 

[Kaz_umu]

That's right. Go away and never show your stupid smile to the girls ever again.

 

[Orpheus7]

And that's why this author is one of (top 3) goats of Yuri Fiction.
A nice fluffy ending to this small arc what's next I wonder

I don't get the need to have her prey on Ruka at that age just to be used for this. Not that surprising, I guess. Unfortunate though because it feels like it really downplays what this girl did back then to a younger girl. I understand Ruka being a changed person, that isn't the issue. The tone of it was a bit off, though. I'll just assume the story switched to become much more lighthearted in the years since those earlier chapters. Maybe she just wanted to forget it and move on from what she set up back then as quickly as possible.

 

[rudezki]

Look at them adorable dorks. Look!!

 

[Kotori_fly]

Nothing beats true love

Because like many people you're seeing it from the wrong angle, their issue was never about Rin going for a younger girl but because she toyed with her heart

Like, really, mangaka is not writing her as some eeeeevil rapist or whatever and japanese readers are definitely not reading it as such, the story is very clearly framing it as the wrong thing she did is playing with Rin heart not that she went for a younger girl

As a matter of fact do we even know their age? Rin is clearly not some little girl and they're both in the same school so how much their age gap really is? A year? Two? Maybe three? Cause some act like it was a 20 something going for a teenager when both were young

The reality is that even if Rin is slightly older than Ruka both are still effectively children and most likely very close in age, she's not some evil rapist who forced herself on someone else and left them traumatized because of it

Rin attraction to Ruka and them having sex was never the point or the problem of their relationship but that Rin was Ruka first relationship that ended extremely bad, if Ruka was the same age the story could have gone basically the same way
