Frankly expected. Now who's gonna bet Ren copes by hitting up her one night stand (who she so conveniently often compares to Sui in a similar way Sui likens Reina to her crush). Begging on my knees for this to get a little toxic mmmgrghh

Yep, the cover was a dead giveaway that the story was going in this direction.

I was right that we are not done with the hook up girl. I have a feeling that Rei will hook up with the hook up girl again which will give the hook up girl the wrong idea and she might actually become a stalker or something like that.

Rei might also do something stupid like suggeste pretending that she's Sui-chans crush because she's probably not in a right headspace at the moment but this can go in all sort of directions.

One thing is for certain tho. The fluffy wholesome times are over and the story is probably heading in a messy toxic drama direction. It was nice while it lasted...

Hell yes, glad to see this is going a different direction than their other series. Well-done range is a boon in any author.

So that means there's ...I guess four women in play, overall. Reina, her ONS, Sui, and Sui's crush. Only Reina and Sui have mutual attraction, but highly conditional on Sui's part, and she can't commit because of the subtext over why she contacted Reina in the first place.
Reina has always been willful up to this point, so I could easily see her kicking Sui out and ghosting her to some degree...except for the fact that she's fallen hard and fast. That right there will make people do silly/crazy/dumb things, and she's already indicated that her thoughts are so consumed by Sui that I could see her rationalizing continuing this fake-dating routine, just for the short-term dopamine kick of physical intimacy and fantasy of a working relationship.

Reina's ONS is back on the table as well, though, and there's no way she won't factor in again. They've run into one another multiple times now, in different contexts--she's clearly enamored with Reina, though whether to the point of pursuing her in a stalker-like fashion, remains to be said. It'll depend on how adamantly Reina rebuffs her, I think, which itself could be in question with her being shaken by Sui's revelation of Another Woman.

I kinda wonder if we'll ever actually meet Sui's crush. Keeping her a nebulous point of stress for Reina, and overall narrative tension of "will Sui leave or not" as Reina struggles with her feelings and whether to go after Sui fully, could work. She'd be reduced to a narrative device this way, but it would put more of the story's focus on Rei & Sui specifically, and make Rei have to actively work for Sui's attention and affection, by virtue of not being able to "confront the source", as it were.
That, and a defined triangle of Rei, Sui, and ONS would be less hectic to write than a quadrangle involving the Other Woman, when not all four points are even connected properly.

But I think officially introducing her physically into the narrative has its perks as well, and makes for more complex storytelling which I can appreciate, especially in a toxic yuri series of this caliber.


Looking forward to Rei's reaction, though. Thanks for the TL work as always.

This chapter was great, again, this manga is good at managing emotions and the mood and mindset of Reina-san. The sensuality is also well-represented.
Ending was expected, and it's nice to have it be open early. This will be good for the character development~ Also this situation reminds me of "Girlfriend limited to 7 days" which was lighter in tone, hoping for a good evolution here also (not necessarily with the two ending together!).
Thanks again for the chapter!
