Sankakkei no Kowashi-kata - Vol. 3 Ch. 10

[EchoGirl]

Surely the last page won’t causes huge misunderstanding and Koto won’t overreact

i mean she shouldn't matter/care unless she's bi rather than fully lesbian (but i can imagine some of her past acquaintances pushing her to 'move on' to someone modernly her same age or so but other than her disappearing again i think ppl would be upset with the author if it ended up with her moving on to having a bf as opposed to meeting someone new)

although it would be nice if it ended in a poly throuple but i think i only read one yuri where it ended that way

Aya > Koto <erika
Isn't that a harem?
I always thought triangle should be like this Aya > Koto > Erika > aya...

Love triangle has many versions. Go read some more bruh. Anyway, for this series, the love triangle is No.4, with Erika > Koto, while Koto <> Aya.

Also, just because 2 people like the same person doesn't mean it's a harem, cuz the person being liked may not like them back (number 3). Harem is more like 7, where the person A is liked by both and likes both of them back.

 

[DoboDoboDobo]

It begins...

 

[RedMarks]

Triangle-breaker boy...

 

[thatoneyurifan]

i have no idea where this manga will go but i hope aya doesn't end up with the boy. on the other hand though... koto and aya are having some serious cracks in their relationship. I want them to end up happy together somehow at the end but. not looking good.

 

[Nothas]

I think people are jumping the gun. Koto isn't possessive yet, she's terrified of losing Aya again, because of course she is.

 

[ErikTheRed]

Actually having a male character with screentime in a yuri manga feels pretty fresh.

Yeah, Koto has been cycling through the would've, could've, should've, and what ifs of her relationship to Aya for 7 years, only for the focus of that brooding to come back exactly as she remembers. The unreality and fragility of the situation, along with the fear of losing Aya again, has to be incredibly nerve wracking.

Aya, is pretty much doing her best to find a place to fit in in a world not exactly of her time, and is pretty admirable for how she's handling that.

Erika, on the other hand, is pretty awful considering that she seemingly wished this trauma on two people that are supposedly her friends because of her own jealousy and inability to move on.

 

[North87]

I agree that Koto is being overly possessive, but I think some people are being too hard on her. Losing Aya once clearly traumatized her, and she's afraid of losing her again. That's completely understandable.

 

[gmanhunt]

Erikabros and Erikasisters, I can feel it’s our time to shine soon

 

[Beinmote9z]

Surely the last page won’t causes huge misunderstanding and Koto won’t overreact

surely the last page will cause a huge misunderstanding and koto will definitely overreact

 

[beThereShortly]

Koto is a real piece of work.

Give me more spices! MORE!!!!

Nah, Erika is actually the best and most mature person in this story. Go back to the beginning, who took Aya in when she had nowhere to go? Was is Koto? Nope, it was Erika. Koto was hiding from Aya and Erika had to basically force Koto to confront Aya. Sure, she "wishes" that this farcical relationship falls apart, but she doesn't actually act on that wish, on the contrary she helps them as best she can. Finally, this relationship ending would be actually good for both Aya and Koto, Aya needs to grow up and Koto needs to finally move on from this romance that went nowhere 7 years ago.

Yeah, Erika has been nothing but a supportive friend. She is hoping this whole thing would just explode and collapse on itself, but she has done nothing to push it in that direction. As harsh as her internal thoughts are, they are just that. Her actions tell a completely different story. Koto, on the other hand, has been really weird the whole time and let's not forget all the shit she pulled during the 7 years gap.

 

[Kirin-kun]

People are being harsh on Koto. She's been carrying a trauma for seven years. One that totally ruined her life. She tried to fix herself, by dating other people and forget about Aya, but to no avail. Koto is a broken character and it gets more and more apparent.

Now that she sees some light, you can't blame her for clinging to it with all her might, even if you think it's unhealthy.

 

[Glynzx378]

I think we're a bit more closer to the climax.
Thank you for the chapter.

 

[recklessribbon]

Thanks for the translation!

 

[Akira9200]

Koto truly a typical GF that easily got afraid that the thing she once had lost to get lost again. her possessiveness toward Aya could lead to Yandere personality if she unable to control that personality of her.

it’s funny that between these three, only Aya who seems like trying moving forward (in term of want to catch up to others) while Koto and Erika keep stuck in the past despite they’ve grown up (in Erika case, it’s more to stuck with one-sided feeling for Koto until now)

i hope the co-employee boy won’t have bad reputation here, i kinda hoping he could be good friend with Aya since she truly need friend around her actual mental age

The way she behaves is definitely understandable, but as you've said, that doesn't make it healthy. It doesn't make her a bad person, just somebody who - in her current state - is unfit for a relationship with Aya. Especially since Aya is in delicate situation herself and needs to figure out her place in the world. Maybe they could get some outside help, maybe temporarily break-up, because right now their relationship is arguably detrimental for both of them, holding them back and preventing them from confonting the real problems. Aya is taking a step in the right direction and tries to move forward, forging her own path independent of Koto and Erika but with Koto being unwilling or unable to do the same the situation is almost guaranteed to get worse. Especially since Aya still has the mind of a child and depends on Koto for shelter, which combined with Koto's trauma could make things pretty toxic
