Thats possible...It could also mean that this series might be a short one, less than 20 chapters..
But im a Yuri fan, so my delusion says 30 chaps 🔥

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).
The webnovel it's adapting has 83 very short chapters right now and we're already past the 20s, likely in the 30s of that content. So yeah we're about half way or more already. The webnovel isn't done but it releases chapters with really large gaps (typically months but even had 2 years between chapters, for example) so I'm not sure how this will end but it moves quick.It could also mean that this series might be a short one, less than 20 chapters..
I mixed up series. In this one, in ch 5 we learned the couple is "in a cool off period" and that Shouya hasn't been around... So it's still vague and precarious, and time can make it a de facto breakup avoiding the peer pressure that was the glue. After all MC is skipping a get-together intended to push her and Shouya "back together". So at least she and her friend already stopped thinking of her as taken by this ch when she got Yui's support.but when did they even "taking a break" though ?
If you look at page 5 it looks like they already broke upgirl 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
There's a novel?? Thank you! I'll check ir outThe webnovel it's adapting has 83 very short chapters right now and we're already past the 20s, likely in the 30s of that content.

Yeah the web novel this is based on is here. You'll see that this manga chapter is basically chapter 31 and the beginning of chapter 32 of the novel and it has 83 chapters in total right now.There's a novel?? Thank you! I'll check ir out
