Tbh, I'm impressed Yuni actually knows she doesn't deserve Nanase, which shows she is a far more better person than Erika that scum from Sankakkei no Kowashi-kata. Still keep hoping one day she would fuck off my Koto.

Most people work 8-5 and then one hour to get home at least an hour later, with mangadex blocked on the work pc and reading manga on a phone is absolute shit, you don't have time to read big paragraph comments, there are like 10 manga updated by the time you get home with 3 new pages of comments each and you have to read all of them before/after taking a bath and dinner or else you feel like you missed something someone pointed out then go to sleep early to go work again the next day.

Basically, it's not a zoomer thing, it's a you barely have free time in weekdays thing.

Sorry couldn't read this, was too busy with my SUPER FAST PACED AND BUSY LIFESTYLE THAT ONLY HAS TIME TO READ MANGA, THEN GO TO THE FORUMS, THEN COMMENT, THEN COMPLAIN I AIN'T GOT TIME TO READ YOUR RESPONSES THAT ARE 3-4 LINES.

Really bro? Really? I'm not arguing that I read every 5 paragraph post, nor that that's a problem. I was speaking about a reply to someone else, and they complained it was too long with some joke when it was 1 paragraph (about as long as your comment here).

If breaking up was that easy for everyone there wouldn't be any cheating in the world.

most people break up when their partner if found cheating, i don’t thonk you understand how cheating works, if you mean way the cheater didn’t break of insted of cheating?

because thats the point, the cheater 99% of the cases, WHANTS to cheat, what’s the hidden relationship for as long as they can

Thank you for the translation.

 

[Rafalga]

imagine if they were all somehow together 30 years in the future, endlessly torturing each other


wasn't there some 'bonus' author note that said that she was purposefully written to be unlikable? lol

That and author spesificly said she wanted to draw a cheating story from start to finish (and also said editor reined her in at the begining but not anymore) so there won't be a break up any time soon no matter how retarded Nanase's reactions and refusal to break up gets. Because it wouldnt be cheating otherwise.

 

[Rafalga]

Nanase she's not perfect at all considering that she's oblivious, insensitive, ignorant & indifferent of people's feelings.

Nanase is a plot device. Without her, this wouldn't be a cheating story so her actions are determined by that requirement alone. She can see Yumi getting gangbanged infront of her eyes (which is a fair possiblity tbh) and would still refuse to break up. If she did, that would make the premise pointless no matter how stupid it is to try to maintain the status quo at that point.

I'll do the hot take since I haven't commented in a while. I think what Yuni is doing is something 'normal'. Of course, cheating is bad, stringing along Natsume is bad and she should just end things. That's not normal and is bad. The 'normal' I mean is: we saw Yuni was unhappy with Natsume, Fuuko was able to fill her void, and so now she's fallen out of love with Natsume. That's the 'normal' I mean: to leave an unhappy situation. The only real scummy part is the cheating, so yeah, she should just end it.

At this point, beyond the blatant cheating, I think the bigger issue now is the unusual relationship between Fuuko and Yuni. They're not lovers. It's fair to say Yuni really does hate Fuuko. Before, Fuuko was upset that she wasn't Yuni's #1, but now she's fine being #2 since she sees herself as Yuni's "mom". So, Fuuko probably isn't looking to be GF, but just wants to always be at Yuni's side. Ironically, this is exactly what Yuni wants: someone who will always put her first, is open with their feelings, and will never leave her. Maybe not her "GF" exactly, but a close partner. I guess the big question now is, if Yuni wants Fuuko to be GF in near-future, would Fuuko actually accept that? Since she's fulfilled by being 'mama'.

Obligatory paragraph for Natsume. Yeah yeah, she's the victim in almost all the scenarios. It is a bit difficult to feel sympathy though. It's clearer now what Yuni wants, what Fuuko wants, but we don't know much what Natsume wants exactly. Does she just wanna focus on sports? Does she actually want a GF? Why get one if she wasn't going to pay attention to her/afraid of the attention (regardless of her past)? Or... is she just looking for an ardent fan that will always support her? Because if so, club friend Yuki fulfills that just fine. IMO, she doesn't seem all too shaken up by Yuni's cheating. I hope more chapters focus on Natsume, because there isn't much to over-analyze on her xD. Through no fault of hers, 'too little too late' is apt here. It took cheating for her to realize "darn, should give more attention to my gf" since there was no indication that she saw issues with her past behavior. Lesson for the next time I suppose. Like, even if she forgives Yuni again and gives up EVERYTHING for their relationship, I don't think there's any recovering it. Yuni is GONE.

You are absolutely right, but, I don't think this is a hot take. It's well thought out.

Unfortunately, I would agree that this chapter was "too little, too late". Just looking at the story as we know it, the sports festival is happening 7 months after Natsume and Yuni started dating, around 1 1/2 - 2 months into Fuuko stealing Yuni, and a couple of weeks (at most) after Natsume's declaration "I want to keep dating Yuni and playing volleyball. I promise to start paying attention to you more, Yuni." (ch. 20, pgs 13 - 20). Heck, we even see that Natsume is trying (ch. 21), but, again, it's too little too late since Yuni still has to wait on the stairs while Natsume is at volleyball, hidden away and not able to be open with their relationship.

That is all Yuni has wanted this entire series. To be in an open, honest relationship with Natsume - especially after Yuni told Natsume at the fireworks festival that Natsume shouldn't look down on Yuni and assume that she's as weak as Natsume's junior high school crush.

I would push back and say, "No fault of hers" is an incorrect way of thinking when we look at Natsume. The story began several months into Natsume/Yuni's relationship with Yuni being seriously neglected by Natsume, and I think Natsume really needs to work hard at being attentive to Yuni's wants and needs because Yuni has been seriously hurt by Natsume's total focus on volleyball and keeping her relationship secret.

Plot twist, she breaks up with the sports girl, dates the mommy complex girl and cheats on HER with another new girl lol (but I imagine they wouldn’t introduce a new charas this point)

 

[mimuro]

Boom! A childhood friend came in. IMAGINE

 

[AlphaDovah]

Man... Just break up with her already.

Nooo it’s too much fun(drama) this way. XD

I think seriously neglected is a bit of an overstatement and Yuni's also at fault for not even voicing her own feelings. I do agree that Natsume has a very interesting need to keep the status quo and I hope the future chapters dive into this. I don't think Natsume is blameless in this relationship but considering age, and the fact it seems Yuni will not communicate, ever, and instead victimizes herself based on what we've seen im just waiting for the relationship to implode. Idk what to make of the Mama stuff going on with the instigator girl. She seems to be a nutcase and I don't really feel qualified to even analyze that lol.

I think Fuuko will accept being Yuni's lover. She only inserted herself as the maternal figure because that's a position that Yuni cannot argue with. An Onee-san you can bicker and go against but a mother is harder to fight. This is not some maternal kink. Fuuko picking the role of mother is intentional, purposeful. A mother can assert herself in her child's life. A sister can become a mother, form her own life separate from their sibling but a mother is supposed to be there for her child no matter what. I can't wait to see how Fuuko will retaliate.

As for Nanase, that statement about winning makes me think my previous analysis was correct. She doesn't want to recognize the faults in their relationship because that will be another admission of failure. It'll be accepting another loss and we all know how competitive she is. Yuni's never been the girl she loves. She's been her admirer and her convenient scratching post, the time filler Nananse can always call on but now that someone else wants her, she sees Yuni as this prize she must ultimately have.

 

[KureyOn]

Again, shame on you Yuni. And Natsume... you're dumb

 

[anim8tur]

Here's my "essay" contribution for this chapter! Oh Yuni, poor Yuni. The grass is greener on the other side isn't it? She's got what she's wanted but it leaves her feeling despondent still? Is it because public acknowledgement isn't what she sought at all? I think she didn't really care about being affectionate in public but was just desperate for a hint of affection, something to make her feel wanted.

Or is simply because the gesture has come too late? Because Fuuko has managed to worm her way completely into Yuni's heart and Yuni does not want to recognize that this horrible obsessive stalker of hers is actually the love of her life? Why won't she just leave Nanase? Those horrid abandonment issues coupled with guilt I suspect. She's still idolizing Nanase in some way, probably because of her princely status, and despite her blaming everyone else it seems she does feel a bit of guilt over the situation. She knows Nanase hasn't really done anything to be left, especially now that she's 'trying' and until Yuni can see the reason why Nanase is now actively wanting their relationship to work, she's going to stay. She won't leave someone.

We've seen her with her mom. She's conditioned herself to not say what she wants, to not recognize her needs in fear of becoming a burden to those who important to her. She wanted someone to notice and when this popular girl threw her a bone, well Yuni couldn't believe someone like Nanase picked her. She can't push someone away. Not when for some reason, they want her. It's how Fuuko managed to get in her heart in the place.

Fuuko! We know why she's content to be second place probably because that's actually better than her current rank in her family. Her freaking family has deemed her lower than dirt. Assert yourself more! Save Yuni! You should be able to tell how unhappy she is... If she can just show Yuni how well she knows her but the thing is, Fuuko's allowing herself to be selfish with Yuni. All this talk about punishing her, it's really two birds with one horny stone. She's satiating her lust while inserting herself as a necessary figure in Yuni's life. Girl, it's working. Time to focus on emotional needs of each other. Open up to Yuni. It's clear she's falling for your vulnerable side. This is why I really think they'd work together.

At their cores, they're the same little girls who are in desperate need of attention and affection. They just want to be loved and of course that's all that we want but I suspect for Nanase her ultimate goal to win is clouding that basic desire we all have.

And as I've mentioned, Nanase is trying because her competitive nature has been ignited. She refuses to lose again. She seems to view the disintegration of the previous relationship as her fault. She got careless and people found out. Now that she's seen Fuuko's still hanging around, is clinging to her 'girlfriend' so blatantly without a care in the world she's kicking up her game. Now her goal is to secure her relationship so she's going to be trying.... but what does this entail? We've already seen how incompatible they are. Will she be trying to know Yuni's likes or be taking Yuni out on dates that only she would prefer? How much more will it take for her to realize that she's only prolonging their misery? Will she start cheating with Yuki out of frustration? Or will Yuki show her what it feels like to be with someone you actually have feelings? What it feels like to like someone for who they are and not just because you want to drown in a shallow puddle of lust?

I love this disaster manga and I truly hope Fuuko and Yuni becoem a couple to enjoy their happily ever afters together.

 

[KingGogeta]

Yuni’s still a whiny bitch, Nanase’s backbone is as nonexistent as ever, and the cycle just keeps repeating. Get my girl Fuuko out of this mess lmao

'Get my girl fuuko out of this mess'

Sis i don't know if you understand this or not but the whole mess is actually created by fuuko

 

[oubyn]

Why are we still here?
