I'll say it again, I really dislike how they've made Anna's character come across as pathetic these last couple chapters. I hope Lily stays with the Duchess. In chapter 1, Lily made it clear to Anna she doesn't like living at home. She's not happy there. She went as far as saying she'd be the Duchess' sex toy. I don't know why Anna believes Lily will be interested in going back into an environment she hates. And it's shows just how desperate Anna has become with begging Lily to leave with her. Imagine begging someone to go with you after you sat there pretending like you didn't care or knew about what was going on with their sex life... SMH, I hope Lily doesn't go anywhere. And if Anna is as desperate as she looks maybe she can stay too and share Lily. I can see the Duchess being more open to sharing if it means Lily will stay.
First of all, why the author had to make Anna come across as a damn fool too?
The way Anna is acting makes no damn sense at all. Sis is behaving like she mind wiped all the times Lily been f**king the Duchess. Or like she's living in denial about Lily's sex life and desperate to go back to their old life... it's crazy tbh. And yeah, I know that Lily saved her when she was young so Anna will always hold Lily in high regard, but damn why does Anna seem like a simp and a cuck?!! This shit doesn't even feel believable at all....
Secondly, welcome to our weekly episode of Lily ain't shit. I'm not gonna lie, her internal dialogue was complete f**kery. Given the lapse in time, it seems like neither Lily or Anna did anything about their situation as a pair. The Duchess literally turned Lily into her personal sex slave, and Lily seemed too okay with it all talking about "heaven" γ½(`ΠΒ΄)οΎ
the fact that my name is literally anna is just
I hope someone picks up the English translation of the side story. It's already 8 chapters in, and I can't really understand what is being said
At least the author didn't do Lily completely dirty and named this something beautiful like Lily of the Valley instead of something like Lily of the streets β(οΏ£Π οΏ£)β
Bruh when I say my mind did a whole lot of mental gymnastics this chapter I swear I'm not even joking. The first 2 and a half pages my brain must've been off or on sleep mode because nothing much was happening at all up there. Then from page 3, my imagination instantly took flight and got the best of me...
I went from thinking "aww damn, poor Anna really didn't deserve any of this"... By the end of page 3, I was already fuming and thinking "nah Anna needs a whole villain arc to end this bish". And from that point my entire mood changed to "I won't be simply satisfied unless a switch flicks in Anna's head and she sleeps with the redhead and wages mental warfare on her and f*cks her over (β―Β°Π Β°)β―β§β§". Page 4, I start feeling sorry for Anna all over again and I'm like "keep it together sis, stay strong... don't cry, you got this". Then my mind wonders off like "damn, I'm sure a lot of people will downplay the seriousness and angst/pain of Anna even having to see, touch, and deal with Lily's clothes that's covered in the redhead's lipstick and her knowing what Lily did the night before"... By page 5, I'm like "stfu Blondie, not now... we don't want to hear it, keep your explanation to yourself or for another time". Then on page 6 when she starts demanding to know where Anna went, my brain immediately hits me with a flashback of a previous chapter where Anna questioned Lily if she left the bed, and Lily had indeed woke up and snuck off to go see the Duchess but *LIED* to Anna about it. Not that this is relevant at all, but just found it ironic and felt she had the audacity to ask her after all the shit she's done so far . Anyway on page 7 all I could think was "don't show any weakness Anna tuck them feelings in a box and put that box in a corner, don't go easy on her".... and "really Lily? You thought she was gone forever and you were so scared you tripped and fell, and somehow ended up naked and landed in bed on the Duchess' fingers..." Mehhh, anyway by page 8, I'll admit I was lowkey happy that the redhead came to interrupt... to be honest, I feel it's a little too soon for Anna to listen to the bs of what actually occurred and how little Lily's "love" for her really means. I know, her learning the truth of why it happened is very important, but to be frank, Lily also needs to learn an important lesson here, so forgiving her right away shouldn't happen. Plus sometimes when you're hurting, it doesn't do much good listening to explanations because you sometimes aren't in the right state of mind to even properly process it. Page 9, I'm once again seriously side-eyeing Lily, because what's up with her behavior? The fact her maid isn't really gone forever and she just heard she only left because of servant duties, aka meaning you were lied to and bamboozled into having sex and declaring your love (sidenote: still can't believe she said she loved her)... why are you not behaving differently towards the redhead yet? Surely, she can't be so stupid to have not realized the situation yet :| Anywho, by page 10 and 11 I'm over Lily and the redhead, all I can think is "Anna let it be, you can't undo what happened between them, so if they are gonna do it again it really won't change anything... besides the two of you aren't even together. Just don't let them turn you into a cuck though " . Page 12 my mind is screaming "Anna please choose violence. Take that dagger and stick it right in her chest" metaphorically of course. Now let her feel like "You don't want her and the Duchess can keep her for all you care", and "I hope Lily is marinating in how it feels when the person she "loves" accepts the situation as a simple loss and doesn't even try to fight for her in any way"... Page 13 - 14, I know Anna is clearly upset and hurting a lot but all I'm thinking is "Good job Anna. Lily put herself in that position so let her face whatever consequences comes with it. Don't save her."
After sharing my initial reaction to this chapter, I feel like I'm way too invested lmao. And reflecting on some of my commentary, I'm highly questioning if I need to seek out therapy and work through some stuff . But anyway I just want to put it out there that I don't actually hate Lily despite what my comments make it seem like...
I'm just not going to let this manga gaslight me into accepting bullshit like I'm supposed to feel sorry for Lily and believe she should "quickly/easily" be forgiven, and go on my merry way happily shipping her with Anna JUST because she's gorgeous, hot, cute, innocent/pitiful looking etc... (nah f#ck that) and JUST because it's Yuri and they are supposedly meant to be the main couple.
Nah, no way... I'm simply not okay with her stupidity level/naiveness and impulsive behaviour. Maybe if the author wanted people like me to feel more sorry for Lily*** then at least write it in a better way, so we could connect more easily... you know like pacing wise could've made it where some time had passed between Lily meeting the Redhead and then building some form of believable relationship/rapport where Lily could trust the redhead and Anna was indeed gone for a few days or more... maybe an ambigious note was left or something... but nope, this is what we got, and with the way it is, although I can understand she was fooled and recognize that she was a victim in that sense. I'm unable to give her a pass for her actions, especially when there was a lack of effort to do anything BUT sleep with that redhead. Yes, the redhead lied to her but even calling the lie manipulation feels like a gross exaggeration or misuse of the word... So, yeah I won't defend her actions and believe she deserves to suffer a little for her poor judgement. That's the hill I'm willing to die on AND I do hope Lily gets a beautifully written redemption arc for all this f**kery
Lowkey her little yandere is about to blow a fuse lol
Anyway why does MC believe its a good idea to be teaching a yandere how to be violent? Or is this the making of a yandere in progress? Lmao I think MC may be setting herself up...
Yeon-hwa this chapter is gorgeous
The details of her hairstyle, clothing, earrings etc is just perfection *chefs kiss*. The artist really did an amazing job.
The redhead is diabolical and Lily is such a damn fool omfg
Bruh my brain is not braining!
Everytime I see the mom trying to kiss Kay my brain cant handle it. Even though I know it's really the Demon Lord in Kay, inside my head be like... Gasps how can you look at your daughter with such eyes lady?! xD and her saying she really looks at/considers Kay as her actual daughter makes it so MUCH worse... like wasnt you just ready to makeout with her (ββ¦β )
It's probably already obvious to Rosetta that both Narin and Insoo likes/wants to be with Yeonhwa. So, I think Rosetta is just being nosy and trying to get a better understanding of what's really going on in Yeonhwa's head. Basically to find out whether Yeonhwa has any romantic feelings for either of the two girls.
So she's checking to see whether Yeonhwa's actions are intentionally thought out or if girlie is clueless and just going through the motions without any realization...
All that to say Rosetta's real motive is that she's dying to pounce on poor little Narin going forward.
Her newfound obsession with her is kinda wild... even though I get she comes off as a playgirl, and going after girls is probably her "normal" behaviour. I assume that this is supposed to be different from her usual playgirl shit.
I take back what I said about Komachi and Satsuki only being a friendship and not a yuri ship. Only because I reread the first 7 chapters... and Satsuki seemed like she had a crush on Komachi in the beginning and before Satsuki met Akira she had already claimed to love Komachi, and Komachi also said she loved Satsuki. I honestly forgot that even happened... maybe because I wasn't reading everything together, I forgot things. But based on my poor memory it really seemed like Satsuki had more chemistry and was closer with Akira... plus it seemed like Komachi as a character kinda faded into the background. So now them being at the forefront after everything kinda wasn't giving me the romance vibes but friendship... I'm simply gonna have to read this again in one sitting to see if the disconnect was just based on my memory of everything being too shitty (οΏ£βοΏ£")
At first I was thinking nah, not her mom pimping her out...
But then I couldn't just smooth pass the fact Yandere seems deeply concerned that she might really tie her bully up and lock her away... she's WILD for that! Cuz I'm pretty sure bullying doesn't work like that. How is she supposed to bully you if you plan to tie her up like she's your hostage xD
Now that they know, it shouldn't be too hard for them to realize that they actually like each other more than friends. Kay and Aida both know the "like" they felt and their interactions with each other wasn't the same as just plain old "friendship". Anyway I can't wait to see how they move forward (ββ½β)
Hmm idk why but I feel I've seen this art style before. Even the MC who is an artist seems familiar but storyline is different....
Either way I love it and am here for it!
At this point it seems like the author chick (black hair bully) is the one being bullied by her own book, characters, and fans included. γ½(`ΠΒ΄)οΎ
