Kira forming a unit with others and getting really close and along with them: so nice, what a good sister, that promise is still up she is just waiting for her Onee while she shoves all her selfish unrealistic lies of expectations onto her.

Sera who was left behind and finally broke under the pressure of delivering when she never truly was seen for who she is by Kira, forced to see Kira live her best life and is now finally taking a first step even if being manipulated: hope you burn in hell for mentally breaking and being taken advantage of! Kira not trying to stop the manipulation but Sera’s ambitions is so sad she deserves better!

just seems a little bit really unfair to me
Thank you, I forgot everyting else I wanted to say once I saw your name. But just know my thinking is berry similar-

Im for once not getting any GL vibes, or incest vibes either? It really only feels like obsessive sisters who dont like themselves n wanna support their other sister. Even with pipi gal she's giving Im stealing your cat, im its new owner, vibes...

The obvious problem I'm seeing is that, while all this unfolding is objectively good for both sisters because Sera has been crushed by their impossible promise and Kira needs a reality check and to see her sister for who she really is, the manga doesn't seem to portray the situation that way. In the last panel, Sera looks absolutely miserable

Breaking the sisters’ codependency is definitely a good thing, but I think the symbolism of Sera simply switching out one choker for another means that she hasn’t self-actualized just yet. She’s still trying to fill the void of self-esteem with external validation. An extremely vulnerable position to be sure.

We definitely haven’t seen rock bottom for Sera yet.

Oh yeah... That message. So in summary :

  • Sister unit
  • Reject message 2x (if I remember right)
  • Inferiority

These 3 factor is enough to make Sera broken, she keep the burden for so many years... But hey, last page. it's savior time?

This isn't therapy yet but it's at least a slightly more positive direction for her. But please author, give Sera therapy, she needs it

This has been interesting because it would be easy for the author to make Kyapi into just an evil antagonist character that is standing in the way of the sisters' happiness, but she doesn't really seem like that. She's kinda in the right here and Kira needs to quit being delusional about forming this sister unit. And seems like Sera is finally able to stand up for herself and quit being swept away by Kira every time. Would be nice if this leads them to being more like normal sisters.

But it'll probably still end with a bloodbath lol

I mean this direction is good for both of their characters right??
It's needed. But good? That depends.
This is like telling a 10 yr old kid, in the middle of their birthday, that they were the ones who accidentally killed their sister. Mishandling a touchy subject can have negative backlash and can send a person backwards instead of forwards.

Holy shit... she finally said what she shouldve all those years...

Himuro you grand blonde bastard, you've done it, even if it was in the most inconsiderate manner, you've done it...

Now unfortunately, I think Sera is out the frying pan and into the fire now if the first chapter of this volume is anything to go by so... godspeed escaping this one Sera...

And Kira? Oh god... bodies will hit the floor, im sure, no way they'll waste that Yandere aspect right?

You know what Sera? I hope you live a miserable life being manipulated by that bitch everyday for the rest of it.
Kira I hope you find someone way better than your trash sister that actually cares about you and will make you happy.
What are you on about?

Sera did what had to be done, lets keep it so real. That relationship, was toxic, plain and simple. Kira was constantly reminding her how inferior she felt to her despite literally being in a famous idol group...

And Sera failed to ever tell her how her auditions are going in reality because Kira would play into her superiority complex by feeding her constant compliments and also be more assertive than her, all but stopping any progress on getting out of the unhealthy cycle, and also to an extent not wanting to hurt her, which is noble, but again, just continues the cycle.

Love or hate her, Himuro telling Sera to finally break the ceiling on the actual reality of the matter to her younger sister was the only way that cycle would finally break, there's family matters and then matters that need external assistance (therapy, but aince most cant afford that, sometimes friends and other family members are considered).

This falls so heavily beyond what the two of them couldve solved by themselves, so while Himuro couldve been better with her approach, she did what had to be done, and Sera finally managed to break the cycle.

I fail to see what Sera did wrong there by finally breaking the truth to her honestly.
