And I’m really unsatisfied with how Nisaka’s thread was tied off.

Having said that I am #TeamLilina, I do not mean to say that the emphasis on monogamy and reproduction in the story is particularly satisfying, although it should be noted that even in 2023, LGBT acceptance and rights have a long, long way to go in Japanese culture and law.

“Misaki’s Choice” really constrains the possible endings, and I think that was handled a bit poorly.

And then there’s the Igarashi/Yajima/Ichijou triangle…

OK, I’ve finished reading #恋と嘘 #KoiToUso #LoveAndLies #manga, and I have feelings about it.

First of all, without being spoilery, let me just say that, I would not have imagined myself saying this at the beginning of the manga, but I am, I think, #TeamLilina. (And yes, I finally realized it is “Lilina” not “Ririna”, given that she is half-German, or possibly full German but born and raised in Japan.)

That being said, I think both endings were weak, weaker than they could have been.
