Yui Kamio Lets Loose

Didn't see a thread for this so I thought I'd make one.

I think it's pretty good so far. Kiito himself is a bit weak but since we're only three chapters in I can forgive that. Yui herself though is a treat and while I prefer her black haired side, I love seeing her bounce off the cast in both forms. With a new female rival, I'm interested in seeing where things go.

Kiito definitely has shit taste. If there's a Yui I'd fall for it's the Black one.

Seriously though, the third chapter shows that Black Yui can be pretty amicable if you don't get on her bad side. She even remembered Valley Girl's name, that's pretty sweet.

Also, if they want to seal her that bad, why is her chain so damn easy to untie?

Yui Black is definitely more of a selling point than Yui White, which puts Nao and Kiito in the unenviable position of striving to make their story less interesting.

Both Yui is cute. I rest my case. It would be interesting if the manga ends up surviving.

Chapter 4, where it becomes increasingly less clear why Yui Black needs to be tied up. Literally all the destruction in this chapter is caused by Mai, not Yui.

And it seems Mai is now friends with Yui White but enemy with Yui Black. Classic but potentially interesting.

New chap out… Seems like the chain not only works on humans but also on lions. Well that's scary. >.>

And we get some hints that Yui White might be fearsome too, only in a different way…

Well, it was mentioned a couple chapters back that Nao sometimes starts spacing out in rapture over how pretty she is.

I've been mostly focused on how much this situation sucks for Yui in Black - and it looks like Kiito's giving that some consideration as well - but man, Yui in White's got a raw deal too. She's just trying to live her life and she's gotta deal with these periods of lost time that end with her wondering whose face is smeared all over her fist.

Yeah it's really a shitty situation for both Yuis when you think about it…

So chapter 6 focuses on Yui White, or rather her chain. Sadly she doesn't get much focus as a character, only as a comedic device. The chapter was still pretty funny though.

Chapter 7… I still don't know where the author's going with this plot, but this is getting really uncomfortable…

I’m curious to see how this will end up doing in the rankings, at least.

Any word of how the reception for this has been?

Chapter 8:

Welp, Nao is revealed to be a bit mischievous than she meets in the eye. And we learn Kiito's dirty secret: Keeping a book of how to increase your self esteem. And yeah, the chapter is mostly about Yui and Nao visiting Kiito's house so yep

Chapter 9… Oh hey, plot!

So Yui in Black is aware of Yui in White, but she doesn't remember going to school? I wonder if White is aware of Black then…

Well, at least the author seems conscious of how sad Black's situation truly is.

Chapter 9:

Today's chapter... Yui's chain is stolen by someone else and as a result, she had no choice but to disguise herself as Yui in White despite she's still in her black form.

If White doesn't know someone should really explain things so she at least has a reason for why she keeps having blackouts and waking up somewhere scandalous.

But yeah, as the manga goes on I've gone from "I'm not sure you've thought through how much this situation sucks for both Yuis" to "wow, I hadn't even thought of that way that this situation sucks for both Yuis."

I do like how she's basically like "Do you even like me?" I hope they push that more as the story goes on.

Anyway, if they're asking these questions, then I consider that a good sign. I'm still not really feeling the manga, but I'll sort of follow it on the side.

So we go from people conspiring to chain up Black because they prefer White to people conspiring to unchain White because they prefer Black. The Yuis can't catch a break, can they.

…So has this become a series about creepy stalkers and rapists now? >.> Kiito has his crazy fans too apparently.

You know, early on I had compared this series to Hungry Marie, and alas it seems to be stumbling into the same pitfalls as that series − the author had one cool idea but no idea where to take it plot-wise. At least HM had some hints of a larger plot early on, but this one doesn't…

Yep, looks like stalkers all the way down. I'm hoping Kiito "accidentally" pulls off the fake Yui's chain and realizes it isn't her when she doesn't turn into Yui in Black.

Problem is… this Yui is just a mirage, so her chain doesn't physically exist…

By the way, this picture of Blackhole-chan◊ reminds me of someone.

Well 2 chapters just released:

Seems that there are two stalker groups who are both interested in Black Yui and Kiito so that's something to consider

Read through the manga. ...Nao is kind of a shitty person. I don't know why Black Yui would even consider her a friend at this point considering how she's been treating her for the last five years or whatever.

@Arha You mean White Yui? If its Black Yui that's completely easy to answer... I think you refer to Chapter 8 where Nao went into full asshole mode but eh...

No, I mean Black Yui. I wonder why she would call Nao her friend when Nao constantly forces her to basically not exist and shows no signs of wanting her to be around. She forces her away and then squees over White Yui. Nao is a terrible person.

Black Yui is pretty pitiful. The worst we've heard about her so far is that she was an energetic kid who would hit back if people messed with her, but then her whole family and her best friend decided it would be better if she was gone.

I actually wonder why Black even complies to this bullcrap. Maybe she has internalized that her existence was unwanted… but she's still reluctant to let herself be chained and even tried to disguise herself as White so she does want to live as herself.

And this chapter...plot!
