Yuri sidekicks are the best 👊🌸

 

[flowsthead]

I'm happy for you, but girl, break up with your boyfriend.

 

[MsW0lf]

Sure, the feelings are mutual, but Yarai still doesn’t know your feelings. And the boyfriend and other friends sure have no idea about these developments. Yay for admitting your feelings to yourself, but I see some storm clouds on the horizon. Like the fact that the date and the friends/boyfriend are gonna somehow happen at the same place!

"bosom buddies" - nods appreciatively at a translation well done

 

[Tcof]

"...back together" ? wait, did they break up already ? when ?
or she just mean like make up ?

 

[SkyVentus]

Am i having a memory blank or when did Ritsu break up with her boyfriend? And if she didnt, should she break up first?

 

[onedumninja]

Her friend is supportive when she comes out and then she immediately insults the friend lol.

I don't remember her officially breaking up with the guy but they both felt the vibe for sure. Sometimes you know when a relationship is falling apart even if you don't want it to. She's unhappy and so is he since she rejected his advances which is a pretty clear indicator of how she feels about him. He definitely could tell after that.

ty for the chapter!

 

[SrNevik]

I'm happy for you, but girl, break up with your boyfriend.

They seem to be already broken up based on that discussion. The whole event was "to get them back together" and the friend didn't say anything about conflicts when she learned about the new date. Our MC also doesn't refer to him as her BF here, just another part of the friend group.

 

[crimsondenmite]

Poor Shouya, he got NTR’ed! lol no screen time, no role or characterization.. lol

 

[suntemine]

They've already broken up off-screen judging by what's said in the chapter, read page 5 carefully.

Correction: Ch 5 established MC and Shouya are in a "cooling off period". We didn't see any interactions since ch 1 and MC is very complacent about it

With how non-confrontational Japanese is, I (and most of us) missed the context that "taking a break" in a relationship is more like "let's take a break and see other people". At least in the MC's mind. My interpretation of English is the former is still dating while the latter is a soft breakup with a (perhaps insincere) option to reconcile. It can still cause issues but it's a bigger step than it appeared.

Japanese language and norms shifts the line, not even very far, but it makes quite a difference here! The "break to see other people" in English has some very Japanese-like context that's probably close to what the MC meant: it's purposefully vague to spare (or reduce) blame, it leaves space to reconsider, it's easy on egos, socially it saves face, and crucially there is intentionally space for miscommunication and willful misinterpretation to facilitate the agreed actions non-confrontationally.

And I think it likewise still can cause issues because what it leaves to interpretation, and it can cause drama, surely will cause drama in this series. But with misinterpretation built into the exchange (in both language's variants) no one is in the wrong for treating a quasi-break-up as a real one. However this is a case where seeing another person and it reaching your ex's social circle will likely cost them face, so MC still crossed a line a bit (she's too gay not to).

The new couple in this manga aren't dignified or respectful, sure, that tone is real, but they're not cheating (on purpose).

 

[NinjaGoemon]

Man she embraced that gay mindset duper fast. Already casually telling her bestie "yeah killer rack". Good for her.

 

[Gothic_Catalyst]

Thank you for the chapter.

Well that got sorted quicker than expected...

I dont know if I should be happy we arent going into a 5 chapter long misunderstanding arc or a little dissapointed it got solved a little too quickly.

Fuck it, we balll!

 

[GooseBolt]

Wow, she just told her friend about her crush's tits. Wild, but accurate response from the friend

It could also mean that this series might be a short one, less than 20 chapters..

 

[maxur]

girl officially break up with your boyfriend soon, i already expect him to catch her on this date, the longer she waits the worse
other than that, YAY is finally mutual
