Bitches hate to see complex lesbian feelings portrayed. Obviously cheating is not okay. But Yuma was confused when Hotaru started doing things with her. She was going through inner turmoil about whether or not this was okay, if it was cheating, or just practice like Hotaru said. Yuma realizes herself that she only said yes to dating takeda because Hotaru had already gotten a boyfriend. Yuma was also jealous without realizing why when Hotaru got a boyfriend. Yuma didn’t know she was in love with Hotaru, especially not realizing since they’re both girls. I mean, you saw the way people talked about them and looked at them after finding out they were lesbians. Hotaru even tried to make an excuse saying she was mocking Yuma just so people wouldn’t think Yuma is a lesbian. Yuma said to takeda that it’s weird they’re both girls and she’s in love with hotaru. They were CLEARLY experiencing homophobia, internalized or otherwise. Yuma had no intentions to hurt takeda whatsoever. When she was cheating, she wasn’t even sure if it was cheating because they were both girls, and since hotaru said it was just practice. Yuma was going through inner turmoil about being in love with her best friend who also happened to be a girl. Hotaru, despite being in love with Yuma, pushes back her feelings and tries to help her get back with takeda because she thinks it’ll make Yuma happy. Not to mention, Yuma had already broken up with takeda less than halfway through the series. After they broke up, Yuma did nothing to lead takeda on. Its not her fault he still had feelings for her. Obviously cheating is never okay. But these girls were going through such complex emotions and feelings and inner struggles. Yuma never knew what hotaru was thinking, if this was really cheating, or just practice, or if a kiss between them was really a big deal since they’re both girls, or if she even wanted to be with takeda in the first place. Love is messy, and hard, and it takes a lot to confront it and work it out. Yes, hotaru did lead Yuma to cheat on takeda. But the story develops so much further past that. Yes takeda is a nice guy who doesn’t deserve that, but people are acting like Yuma and Hotaru are irredeemable witches. Personally, I liked the story.
