Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara - Vol. 8 Ch. 37 - Snare of Corruption

Wow this is an interesting development looks like she was developing real feelings for Mishiro, but she has a horrible look on relationships. Man she is so good at layering terrible people from terrible situations with just enough redeemable value you want to cheer for them. This could make Yuni’s fight for Fuuko harder and her being conflicted more believable, but I'm still cheering Yuni/Fuuko, but I think Yuki could be a good fit for Mishiro. They're manipulations would make an interesting balance.

This manga is really full of horrible people huh (I like it tho)

 

[Tarkenfire]

I don't know if we really need "wear my old school uniform while I cuck you"-senpai in the story. It probably still works story wise if Fuuko is just scummy without having all this traumatic stuff to try and justify why she's doing scummy stuff.

Seriously what even is Mashiro's role in this story? She only exists so we can remember this is a ntr based manga?

 

[shemper]

Hardly a surprise from what we saw previously
Thank you for your work!

She's part of Fuuko's trauma of never being number one.

Thank you for the translation!

my poor baby Fuuko just wanted to love and be loved and she’s still surrounded by horrible people. Yuni is a bad person, but I really hope she gets to be with Fuuko (in a healthy relationship), just for her happiness in the end

I wonder if we'll be given some insight into Mashiro's story beyond Fuuko's perspective - to see whether there's a reason she is the way she is, like we have with Fuuko, Yuni, and Nanase.

I guess Yuko's also an "active character" within the narrative that hasn't had a lot of fill-in, beyond knowing that she was possessive of Nanase in grade school and started those rumors to "chase off" the other girl and keep Nanase to herself. There doesn't necessarily need to be anything more than that for character motivation, but she and Mashiro are thus far the least fleshed-out, and are the two doing the most to the other three in general.

But - intriguing to get more of Fuuko's childhood here. Not much more than we knew before, but her relationship with her father is nonexistent, and the entirety of her relationships to this point seem...well, supremely unhealthy. Which, explains how she keeps getting drawn back to Mashiro--the one who would always call her cute and give her attention and affection, even if it was clearly manipulative and meant to "pull Fuuko in"--but she "lost" her onee-san; her familial relationships are fractured, strained, or seemingly outright shattered; and her relationship with Yuni is built on lies and pain and ulterior motives.

Which, Yuni was the "lens" character in that most of the story played out from her perspective - but it really seems like Fuuko might be the primary axis upon which this whole narrative spins. Her being the acting force on Yuni, while Mashiro is the acting force on her, coupled with how none of this story even happens without Fuuko reaching out to Yuni in the first place and bringing all five characters into orbit with one another, kinda puts Fuuko into the "locus" role, in my mind.

I'm interested to learn more about Mashiro from here, though. She also seemed like she might have feelings for her sensei, though there's not nearly enough there to actually take a stance one way or another. She's clearly groomed Fuuko, and is actively injuring her--and taking pleasure in it--even into the present as we can see with that kiss that she shows off at the end of this chapter.

Is Mashiro's own case a situation of cyclical grooming? Is she actually just a malicious character wholly acting without a "trigger", like Fuuko, Yuni, and Nanase are? She's also had her hooks in Fuuko for years; that speaks to something rather deep and impactful, because even if she's jerking around others (like her senpai here), she came back to Fuuko well after their last meeting, simply to pull her back in.
Abusers will do that with their victims, but it is also often about something of actual substance and not solely just "because I can/I like the control", so I'm wondering if that initial meeting at the library was a case of supreme bad luck on Fuuko's part, of if there'll be some narrative history that had Mashiro going after her specifically.

It twists deeper and deeper, though. Mashiro acting on Fuuko, Yuki acting on Nanase, and Yuni & Nanase acting on one another as their situation continues to deteriorate.

Thanks for the TL. Looking forward to the next.

O I get and I'm here for it. I like knowing more about Fuuko, but am I alone in really needing a fix of Yuni and Fuuko. Feels like it's been forever and there starting to get in the same place. Question is how her being left alone with Mishiro is going to affect the progression of that narrative.

Fuuko being baited into advanced cuckery sure helps explains why she's fucked up when it comes to relationships

 

[T-sama]

Wait, now it all makes sense, of course Fuuko was fine with being Yuni side dish she already got experience with being cucked

Gotta say, toxic yuri sure hits different from toxic het when all the cheating and cuckery happens, this series is like a gift that keeps giving

Now I wonder where mangaka will go after hitting us with cheating, ntr and cuckery, hate fuck lesbian orgy?

I hope we don't get to much background on Mashiro, feel like these perpetual cycles can become a real rabbit hole.
Not sure you can say Mashiro keeps coming back to Fuuko this is only the second time we've seen and the current one she claimed they ran into each other, so hard to say really.

So am I the only one who things this feels like this volume is going to be a slow burn threw the Fuuko Mashiro arch. I feel like the pacing gives us at least one more flash back then there current entanglement so we'll be pushing end of the volume before there's much hope of seeing much of the rest of the cast.
