There have been such dreadfully long pauses in the availability of chapters that I don't recall many important aspects of this story. ☹

@Oeconomist Youko and Ayumi are 2 idiots who Morishima try to put together even if they don't seem compatible. Youko love her BF but straight up flirt with Ayumi but still say they can't go out together because they're both girls and just want to be friends so tl;dr she is a bitch. Ayumi is a lesbian who fall in love with Youko but get mad because of Youko being a bitch but still love her because it's Yuri and Girl should love Girl, no seriously read last chapter and you will see her getting on a rent on girls going out with boys. Seriously i can't like that pairing, one is a bitch and the other is what i don't like about Yuri aka girl should only love girl and not boys. Seriously, Katsuji is not even a douche to begin with and seem rather nice. Hell, he is even the one who told Youko to go home with Ayumi. I kinda like when the boy get ditched if he is a douche but if he is not then i feel like the author just forced the yuri.

@Lilliwyt—

I again read through all the previous chapters, including the chapters of Hanjuku Joshi.

You might be right about the business of Youko with Ayumi. On the other hand, I feel as if many authors of same-sex love stories treat those of the other sex (whichever that might be) as lesser beings, whose feelings can be discounted if not disregarded altogether. Consider the way that Ran, Mari, Shiori and thus Morishima discounted Tsutsui in Chapter 14 of Hanjuku Joshi. Now, that discounting is by no means a good thing, but I think that the dynamic between Youko and Ayumi should be understood within it. I don't think that Morishima sees Youko as a bitch; I think that Morishima sees Youko as a character who is insufficiently accepting of and adjusted to her desire for Ayumi.

Consider that, otherwise, Ayumi will probably end-up unpaired, though Morishima clearly presents Ayumi sympathetically.

(Well, there's also the slim, loopy possibility that Yae and Chitose will each end-up with her first love.)

If Youko is going to continue in hurting Ayumi then it’s best for her to let her go and not play with her feelings.

Maybe she’ll get convinced when it’s too late and Ayumi is with another girl?

all girls should break up with their boyfriends and live the yuri life

 

[SparkShadow]

@lordofthekeep then how am I gonna get a girlfriend?

 

[LordoftheKeep]

@SparkShadow accept that girls are happier with other girls

 

[SparkShadow]

@lordofthekeep True but I don’t wanna have to waste money changing my gender (and then there’s the obvious fact that even then no one would want to date me)

“It hurts, but I like the pain”? Interesting.
