Didn't see this one as cliche troped. Considering bad outcomes and overthinking stuff feels real. Especially knowing that she became huge part of Kanon's life. Kanon sees a trusted person in her and just straight coming out with her feelings, not knowing what other side things about it, may destroy their relationship.I love this manga, I really do, but with each chapter I start to lose interest in it. Yes, the problems of a lesbian schoolgirl in finding herself, fear and uncertainty of the future, and so on. But f*ck, we've seen it hundreds of times, let us enjoy it without throwing the heroines into the abyss of cliches. Or am I just starting to burn out and need to take a break from reading romance for half a year?
But but but... 26 volumes and a movie! 😋Thank you for the translations!! We really appreciate it!
It feels like the series will end when both parties confess to each other and become a couple.. it really feels like the series will end in less than 10 chapters, after the confession and when the two become a couple..
I'm holding onto hope it doesn't end, but it would be a tone change I don't expect in serialized manga. While the intersectionality of stigma was set up at the start, it got more subtle as we spent more time on Saki and social critique got a bit more awkward. This didn't start heavy like A Silent Voice.Thank you for the translations!! We really appreciate it!

You have it wrong. What she finds impure about herself isn't her homosexuality, it's that she has any sexuality at all. She hates herself for letting it "defile" their friendship, a pure thing (within the framing of this story)"My motives are always impure" hits hard. I think it's something that's a realistic worry for a closeted teen lesbian, especially in her case. It's even maybe partly true.
But the thing she isn't realizing is that this isn't a condemnation of her sexuality. She thinks being a lesbian makes her impure, but this is just an aspect of being a teenager. Teens do a lot of silly stuff for flimsy reasons. And being heterosexual wouldn't even change anything. She still might have latched onto a male piano teacher and a male friend she secretly had a crush on.
It really breaks my heart seeing Saki be her own worst enemy in her head for 39 chapters, half the time I read this series it just feels like it’s saki torturing herself for feeling lol"My motives are always impure" hits hard.
