Well I don't know what to say to be honest, it was good to save the relation but imo... It could've taken more than a single night to come to that conclusion, that part where Shizuka ran away spouting nonsense after what she did, she was the lowest there but at least she came back and face it.

HmMmmmmmmmmmmmm I can say I would sympathize with this relationship anymore ......Good thing this series isn't conventional and we have better ships all around!!! GO NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

She was definitely being shitty to Mio, but how is this cheating? They aren't even dating.

Cheating is exactly and only a violation of a shared understanding in a relationship. It is possible to cheat without the relationship being labelled “dating” just as it is possible to cheat without the relationship being labelled “marriage”. Shizuka knew that it was a violation of a shared understanding, which is why she was upset to learn that she'd been observed by Mio, and feared that Mio would end their relationship.

What she to Mio was shitty...but honestly I'm glad they're trying again and are gonna work on it. Hopefully Mio can keep her away from the (kinda) toxic ex/friend. I'm rooting for theeeeem

Man you guys are some heartless people. She used mio as a substitute yes and mio realized it. But then, in her heart, she forgave senpai for that. That was the point of the talk, she wanted her senpai to finally stop lying to her and for them to stop living in their fairy tale room where there are no problems.
Senpai almost ended it all there - it was up to her to break the relationship down and then to bring it back up again which she ended up doing. It's not like these two are magically going to have no more problems but the weight has shifted for them to be more healthy. It was a really great scene and ending.

I agree with @anf .
Mio is half romantical/idealist and half very mature, even without experience. In the end, she understood that Shizuka have what I personnaly name a "ghost" (more precisly I call it a "fantôme" since I'm french). A ghost is a souvenir of a person we have a relationship with, wich is kind of unfinished in our head. So the souvenir is haunting us because it's not concluded. If the person still extist, we can be confuse about the past and the person. I'm pretty sure I'm not very clear :) sorry. In others words, Shizuka didn't realy conclude her relation with Kaoru, not in the sens she still do love her because she do not, but, for exemple, she never had the occasion to tell her something she wanted or something like that. Or it ended not the way she would have want. So she is confused and that made her "messing around". In my life, I had few times been haunted by those kind of ghost. And I telling you guy, it's not about still being in love, it's about the possibility to turn the page, and that can make the next relationship a little odd in a first time. Mio understood it, accepted it because Shizuka had to go that way, maybe she was not forced to kiss Kaoru but in the end this only accelerate the recovery time. Shizuka was damaged by her toxic relation with Kaoru, no one can, I mean I, I can't blame her for that. The fear and the conscience of what she did to Mio will almost entirely finish the process of recovery.

When @anf says Mio was a substitute, I agree and I will go further : she was a necessary medication that prepared Shizuka for a real new and honest relation with Mio. It's because she understood it in her heart and by love to Shizuka that Mio, in the end, forgive her.

Well of course it's just my interpretation.

I think Torajiro is a very goog psychologist.

Interesting how this is one of the few, if not the only time so far, that this manga specifically doesn't show the kiss, thereby giving it more weight and making it feel more intimate.

Really good stuff; I appreciate nuanced storytelling in my "adorable & hilarious lesbians" manga, heh. Even when it's heavy, like this couple of chapters, it's easily one of my new favorites

And the scanlation quality is, as usual, outstanding! Thank you so much, Chad's, for bringing us this manga series ^_^

Mhmhmhmh im torn here cuz just as Mio said she had always been idolizing Shizuka as her perfect Senpai and never truly opened up to her and Shizuka while at the start it seemed like she really wanted to get closer to Mio but at some point she saw her as a convenient outlet not only for her sunny disposition and how Mio was always telling her she was special but also to use her as a substitute for Kaoru.

The both of them werent trying to get closer emotionally but still Shizuka is the one most at fault of course using Mio like that while trying to regain some lost lover .... idk personally id never take someone like that back no matter how much i loved the person i already have pretty big trusts issues how the fuck im i gonna trust someone like Shizuka but well hope that they can talk things out get closer and that Shizuka doesnt let her dick lead the way.

We will rebuild. We will learn to trust. We will hold each other when we are scared.

Geez, it looks like half of the community is split between whether it was a good decision or a bad decision to stay together.

I personally enjoy the ending though, and considering the way they’ve expressed their feelings, it’s looking quite promising for a second chance. I’ve always been a firm believer of second chances.
