Saying your long time friend, that you wan't a friend, you only know a couple months, to like you the most, is a hard to swallow pill.

 

[Korath]

To be fair. Maybe she would see her in another way (best friend wise), if Izumi would have told her early on what she really thought about her bad relationships.

 

[tducouteau]

Damn. Nanaki’s lying to herself, and poor Izumi gets her heart broken. To be fair, if I were in Izumi’s position, I would want Nanaki to say to my face that she could only see me as a friend. (Though, of course, with less of these theatrics.) I think it’d suck way more to exist in that awkward middle ground. At least being clearly rejected gives you the opportunity for closure.

Anywho. Not the biggest fan of the self-deprecating shouting match but at least they mostly cleared this up. Now for more confused lesbian/bisexual noises from Nanaki! Yay, I guess!

@Cyreader
If you’re looking for succinct in a yuri manga, Still Sick goes through an entire jealousy/misunderstanding arc that ends with makeup sex in a single chapter. It’s pretty fucking incredible.

"I want to be her best friend"

Mhmmm....

 

[Picks]

Someone said it in the comments on a previous chapter and it's super apparent in this chapter - holy fuck does this artist go over the top with the reactions. Every panel looks like someone is reacting to seeing their best friends head blowing up. I get that it's a (relatively) big deal, but they're literally screaming at eachother when they're sitting next to eachother, and there's the whole super-intense-background-slashes and blood splatters etc. when they have a revelation. Hard to unsee.
Good chapter though. Tied up that loose end. Always good when people know where they stand.

 

[Airwave2k2]

@Picks With this way over the top reactions. At least half the Hotel and for the most part the class is now aware of Izumos sexual preference. So there is that. Good job Fuji.

 

[throughstars]

@Beastkun i think Nanaki isn't lying to he rself. More like, still unaware of her true feelings. Yes, she gets jealous but it seems like she's thinking it in a different way.

 

[kojiro481]

It's good that they've managed to clear all this up without it dragging the manga down for too long. Fujishiro is still lying to herself big time though and I thought she was past that by now since that chapter not that long ago where she clearly articulated that what she felt for Kurokawa was actual love.

 

[NinjaGoemon]

Fujishiro: "I just want to normal her as her best friend. Just normal. Completely."

I'm pretty sure she doesn't understand just how much she actually cares.

 

[NightmareWeeb]

... Jesus Christ, dude...

Why must you hurt me like that?

 

[The_FallenAngel]

Ooof, a F in the chat for Izumi, but at least it's over. Hope she finds someone later on and they love her just as much as she loves them.

Suuuure Nanaki, you totally just want to be her BFF. What you said that chap was totally normal to say regarding a best friend, wording and everything. Totally.

 

[ara_ara]

What the fuesjdlaksjdfcwfatk!!!!

Its hurt

If i were you izumi, i would rape her on the spot

 

[meangradear]

I think it would be interesting if Nanaki is just a straight girl in a GL manga.

 

[jak]

Don't tell me this is gonna be a copout.

 

[CyBerK]

@ara_ara dude wtf?

 

[Gustbk]

She’s just friendzoning everyone, eh?
Bad idea, girl. Spaghetti will spill.

 

[FreezeBlue]

The hell why have to hurt me like this
Aaaaaaaargh

 

[mirewitch]

I'm glad the author resolved the Izumi plotline, and I did sympathize with her in this chapter. I would have sympathized more if the author hadn't made Izumi so manipulative the last few chapters, or if the author didn't make the rejection scene so melodramatic, but whatever. Hopefully this rejection leads to a kinder, more open Izumi.

I doubt it will happen for a while, but moving forward I think pairing Izumi with Iro might be fun. The author hinted at Iro being attracted to Izumi in chapter 18.5, and I think it would be a good opportunity for Izumi to build a more honest/healthy relationship. I also think it could make for an interesting contrast to Nanaki/Kanade. The author reverted the apparent self awareness Nanaki was developing, so I expect the next dozen chapters to be more denial and "What is this feeling??" silliness. I'd love it if after we give Izumi a few chapters to recover, she notices Iro's interest and asks her out immediately. It'd be a hilarious contrast to Nanaki/Kanade's absurd slowness.

@tducouteau

Yeah locked onto that one too. Just can't get enough of Officelady Yuri for some reason must be the business suits. But there aren't many out there that do it well without it being too dragged out or too much misery.
