Thanks for keeping the translations going. One of my fave things about this manga is it's been going on so long that it shows the changing attitudes Japanese attitudes towards lgbt issues, which is why I particularly loved this arc.

Yaharu's spiral is so real. And Jun's meditation on his detachment.

The sky is gray and the room is bathed in some sort of sunlight when Aya visits the hospital & Aya hasn't stopped over anywhere given she still has her luggage (and her house is near the hospital): https://mangadex.org/chapter/0db11940-10a5-428a-8643-87a46bd90837/6 I dunno maybe she hung...

She says "it is only a few days", not "it was only a few days" Or the trip itself. Like there's no need for a hypothetical document - Yami's mother was upset about Yami going on this trip. It's likely early morning - they took trains throughout the night and Aya came straight from the station...

I dunno that anyone else in this manga is thinking that they want their partner to "get angry at them, hit them". And also yeah, in basically one flavor or another, each of the ways Aya/Yuu/Hikari think about their insecurities internally leak out into the ways they hurt each other. Aya's...

I figure she's talking about the trip here. Nah, most of Aya's worse toxicity is towards herself.

Also the reason why 29.5 is a flashback placed after 29 is probably plain old storytelling if you were reading this linearly - Aya asking about the apartment hits differently if the reader has already seen her shopping for it, Aya going on the trip hits differently if the reader knows that's...

The tense structure is that she's talking about going on the trip, not as if it already happened. Why would she sign the document if she adamentedlly didn't want Aya to go? Don't love that it's a reddit thread, but IVs are used more frequently/casually in Japan In 29 she's wearing what she...

Yami is reassuring her mother that the trip will only be for a few days and that Yami will come back about a trip that Yami has already taken? Hospitals mostly use IVs to administer medicine and nutrition to patients. It's got nothing to do w/ severity & everything to do w/ the specific...

Chapter 29.5 tells the story: Yami found her mother OD'ed on sleeping pills before the trip. Hell, the chapter suggests that, from Aya's POV, the trip was the trigger given Aya and her mom were fighting about it b/f her mom made the attempt. Here's the Russian version...

Aya's thoughts/behavior here are part of her pattern of not feeling secure w/ Yuu. It's not random but rather super common in abused folks, here keyed to how Aya's mom's two modes are neglectful or overbearing/controlling, and part of the pattern (Maruto through) Yuzuka is flagging for why the...

The thinking it is pretty unhealthy in and of itself and that sorta thinking doesn't just pop up randomly. Also, we've had this argument on loop but this is another thread of her feeling insecure, which culminates in her testing him w/ moving in together. Yeah that's my point. Aya is insecure...

A lot of folks would read a girlfriend wanting her boyfriend to "get angry at me, hit me" as deeply unhinged. He's supposed to be unhappy w/ some of her asks but make the sacrifice to do them. Fight with her b/c she's being unreasonable but not dump her b/c he loves her. He immediately backs...

I think the argument jumped off from Aya's internal monologue about how she doesn't want Yuu to just give in - far as I can tell, that spiraled into "does her toxicity negate his agency?" I haven't jumped in b/c I read Aya's comment the way I've been consistently reading Aya's attitude - that...

Nothing happens that we didn't already know about? Also it's usually like us and port going in circles & we already discussed this chapter to death.

Even if I were to agree with you that it's not his fault and their feelings aren't justified, the narrative makes clear that Hikari and Aya feel hurt by Yuu's actions and that Yuu acknowledges that they feel hurt because of his actions.

The only thing I wrote was that Yuu acknowledged that he hurt Hikari and Aya.

Even Yuu acknowledges that he hurt Hikari and Aya. Whether it's fair that they feel hurt by his actions is a whole different discussion, but it does not negate that Hikari is hurt by his lying and Aya is hurt by what she perceives as him not being as in love with her as she is with him.

I mostly post here to procrastinate on the long blocks of text I have to write in real life. I like having no stakes stuff to balance out the stuff that matters.

. By that point he also knew Aya was her best friend. Also, not warning Hikari that his ex goes to her school and therefore there could be a blow up at the festival isn't exactly friend of year material. I dunno about the folks defending Yuu, but I warn my friends if they could be stepping...
