She is our goddess, no human can compare.

And yes, It is precisely because this is a... "wholesome" yandre, with such cute and... "pure" love story that I can read this. This feels like a slice of life. The yandre is just the delicious cream filling and the yuri is the strawberry on top. Part of me wishes this was my "Happy Sugar Life".

@waterflame - Thanks a lot for the huge update, this manga is really something and it have a very good and sad story, i'm surprised it get an anime in the first place since while is nothing blatantly visual it have surely dark themes. Will have probably an original ending since the manga is still ongoing.

Urgh, these new chapters got so heavy so fast that I actually feel nauseous. I'll have to finish slowly so I don't destroy my soul reading this too quickly.

I really like the "present-day" parts of this manga, but not flashbacks to Shio's mom. One of the things I tend to find with manga like this is that it's really easy for them to go from "everyone is fucked-up and broken" to "everyone is pure evil to a cartoonish degree, including the god of fortune". Satou's past works much better for me in that regard, since it's things like the influence of her aunt that made her what she is, rather than
"and then everyone she loved all died at the same time and she got beaten up at their funeral".
I think for a genre called "psychological" it really cheapens it when this sort of thing happens.
I think I would have preferred it if most of the Shio's mom backstory we got in this load of chapters had been left unsaid.

@anon763 I think Shio's mom's backstory is just a little more complicated than that:

The timing of the deaths is weird, and the fact the father seemed to be in the same area as Shio's mom when he made the call (at least, it looked like he was in the background in the panel)—well, I'm wondering if their deaths were "random" or "chance". Maybe it's just me, but I get the impression he somehow arranged to kill them all so he could collect that insurance money and not have to work.

Well, that is definitely a reasonable interpretation, and the one I jumped to at first. But it seemed to me that the guy's surprise was genuine and not purely a matter of the number of zeros on the page, and he didn't strike me as having the right combination of competence and subtlety to pull it off either. As for him being in the same area, he'd been obliged to make a token appearance for the festival/ceremony. He just wasn't actually sticking with them as they went around for obvious reasons.
The way I'm reading it, that event looks like an actual accident. Even if it wasn't, I'd still say on the whole that Shio's family falls on the wrong side of what I talked about.

Interesting how certain parts of the flashbacks have blurred faces. From whose point of view are we exactly being shown these past events?
This author is just brutal. In many parts of the world, innocent cute girls like this one are turned into mothers because they're either not taught how to defend themselves or ask for help. The rest is -sadly- just statistics.

@waterflame - And take out all the backstory of heroines parents? Well, maybe but they need to end it anime original in this case if they don't plan to make more cours.

So i watched the first episode of the anime and what the hell is the first scene where they jump down? There is nothing like this in the manga, but can make sense since the manga still ongoing and with only 12 episodes they can surely go with an original ending.

hahaha, nice, I love how the author shows too much fluffiness in this manga, but I also hate it due to lack of intensity, probably because I binge it instead of waiting for every month just to see another chapter.

Actually though it's shown that they continue falling... they actually fall away from the edge...

@ShiKu YenPress recently got the rights to the series, they will slowly be releasing the volumes in English.

Or do you mean the Japanese volumes with a English interface(I know of some)?(This is the one that actually supports the author... the English release is more so support Yen Press :p )
