The story of you, me, and her - Oneshot

@WhimsiCat you got one thing wrong.

Spoiler

The black hair was never Miki's childhood friend. The real childhood friend was the 'you', the friend that died.

The artist is 😶

This artist is amazing, their style of writing always seems to draw me in. I wasn't expecting something so dark but it was great. The art is rough looking, but in a good way. Definitely needs the tragedy tag cuz of the murder. Usually stuff like that in manga is portrayed super edgy and unrealistic, but this pulled it off well. I hope the girl finds out the truth and manages to avoid her safely. I couldn't ever be with someone who would kill and lie like that. Love doesn't justify her actions and it was completely unnecessary anyways. The real friend wasn't seeking a romantic relationship, the faker could have just became the girls' friend like normal and started from there. I hope to keep seeing more from Murasakino. The angel one was interesting too.

Damn crazy girl fell in love with the story between her new friend and her childhood friend, but her new friend didn’t have it in her to confess. So she just yeets her off a cliff to induce amnesia and take the role of the childhood friend.

Lol what wouldve happened if she just died instead

 

[youdontknowwho]

@JKTV Eh, the girl pushed off the cliff is indeed dead, and there is no amnesia here. The crazy girl is childhood friend to no one, so naturally her current girlfriend doesn't remember meeting her before.

Damn, never expecting that
Really be careful when you running your mouth, even the devil used to be an angel..

Honestly, i think not putting the tragedy tag is a splendid move. you know, to catch the readers off guard.

And erm.. same same. I'm a huge fan of sensei. I love her art style so much; i love all of her works. She sure got the skill for building up the tension with just a few panels and yes there is something about her art that makes one hooked. It's rather a sight too see that lots of people are recognizing and appreciate sensei and are expecting more from her.

Ps. I'd really love to see sensei do a series

@___DEKU___ While not putting the tragedy tag catches the readers off guard and can avoid spoiling some of the story, at the same time there are a lot of people that this type of content would trigger. Thus, the proper tagging is important to avoid hurting some readers. At the very least I think the psychological tag should definitely be included.

Does this qualify as yandere?

I think this story did a reasonable job of setting up that black hair is not really the long lost friend of her girlfriend, between the title and the photo conversation at the beginning. I also love the art as always with this mangaka. But I felt the "she's a secret psycho murderer" twist was absurd and made it difficult to connect with the story. I think it would have worked better had black hair just found the phone of blond girl in the street, or heard the story from her before she moved, or found out through some other non-violent way. Then I might feel pity for a girl who wants so desperately to have a fairy tale romance that she'll steal someone else's. And there would be an ambiguity to the non-ending of them just being happily together, since you never know when real blonde girl might show up. As written, I just feel miserable that a murderer got away with murder.

I don't mean to say that the author needed to do exactly what I describe; there are a lot of interesting ways you could take a story about a girl who pretends her love story was more romantic than it really was. I think anyone who met their partner through online dating, a bar, or some other common method can relate to the desire for a more magical story. But when you make that character not only deluded but a murderer, it stops her from being relatable. So even though I think this is a neat premise, the conclusion pretty much ruins it for me.

Decent suspense, but the reveal was way too unbelievable.
