Kono Koi wo Hoshi ni wa Negawanai

This manga is amazing, thank you for the translation.

I love this story and I am looking forward to more.
Raw 21 was just released and I got some translations from ChatGPT for it. Nothing conclusive seems to be decided there, can't wait for it.

I may be one of the fews that don't want Eri and Fuyuki to end up together. Because it doesn't seem very mentally healthy the way things are going. But it's a manga, so who knows?!

I love this manga, in a very sad way.
Slice of life and Joseis are usually super complex because the explore the emotional complexity of humans and this relationship is super complex.
Eri seems pretty autistic and definitely in the aro spectrum with a very unhealthy dependency of Fuyuki.
Fuyuki is the kind of lesbian that obsessed over a person and not knowing what to do gets in self-destructive mode.

The worst part is that is actually pretty realistic. Eri will probably date Fuyuki in a desperate attempt for her love and attention, but will never reciprocate romantic feelings, because she can't feel them. Fuyuki will accept ANYTHING Eri is willing to give her as long as she stays with her. Both will enter a destructive relationship out of desperation, and a codependent relationship they can't short out.

I honestly feel that this kind of mangas don't enter the Yuri/GL category but more like an LGBTQ representation category (i have read a few) Because is more about the internal journey and emocional complexity than the lesbians relationship itself. The gayness gives this an other complexity layer, but in the end I feel the character development lies elsewhere, not in sexuality itself.

I'm loving it, it's a pretty realistic portrayal of girls navigating their sexuality (so far) and refreshing from other GLs I've read. the subtle writing is soo good, even the panels with almost nothing on it speak so much. i don't think it's bait and the love seems actually mutual, but i know the author is known for tragic stories, so ill keep it at that until we have more (but this comment section badly needed a positive one so..)

I was thinking the same thing! I just caught up and now im crying cause it hit a bit close to home especially the last few chapters. I'm not sure where the hate from everyone else is coming from tho. Definitely gonna check out more work from the author
