Tokubetsu na Chuutohanpa - Ch. 29 - A lie.

Just to clarify, FWIW, since there's a few more of them in this chapter I had to skip - if I don't do the little background asides, for this strip, the reason is generally that the raws from Pixiv are so low-rez when you right-click and save that Translate can't always tell what they are, and 99% of the time if it screws up then I don't have a prayer. (I can read the katakana/hiragana more often now, but I definitely can't guess kanji yet when it's just a smear of pixels.) I get the general idea of what some of them are saying, but I don't like guessing flat out if I don't feel I know and it's not regular dialogue. Sorry about that - hope it doesn't spoil anyone's enjoyment too much.

it feels more like she doesn't want to tell anybody she is dating a girl yet.

That's definitely what happened. I assumed that was pretty clear...but maybe not? She feels guilty that her first instinct was to lie about her relationship, to feel fear. She's never had to actually deal with the realities of this before. The dog caught the car but realizes she has to hide it from everyone, and doesn't like the feeling.

Partly that, yeah. While this series doesn't strike me as super deadly serious, it does treat quite a few aspects of both realising you're gay (or at least that you're into a person of the same gender) and being in a relationship for the first time with a surprising degree of emotional depth. (A lot more than other, better-known titles IMO - one reason I started reading it/wanted to try this.) There's some great chapters later on that go into the idea even the smallest "But what if they...?" can leave you a nervous wreck, even if you know you're probably over-reacting.

That and, well, teenagers do stupid stuff. I admit I've caught myself thinking "Oh, for God's sake" a few times working on this, and I have to remind myself "Well, yeah, that's kind of how it was, right? How you were?" (I am no longer a teenager.) Still, if you get annoyed easily reading about people acting in ways which are not always in their best interests, this may not be the series for you.
