Yes, that`s right.
I ruined my sketchbook so y`all can see it. *cries until my new copy arrives*
I also seriously underestimated how long this would take to scan and post.
Please don`t repost these or link this anywhere! Graphics are fine.

I brought the Rutile 2023 January issue and the estimated delivery is December 8th to the 23rd of December but i hope it arrives early. When it arrives I'll post the chapter 26 of Koimonogatari raws here.
So, because i love this series and because i wanted to find everything and i needed everything in one place - this is where you can find more stories about Sajou and Kusakabe in right order (hope so). From O.B and Sora to Hara i chose chapters only about Rihito and Hikaru, but i highly recommend read everything. And buy manga and dvd to appreciate Nakamura-sensei work! :)

I don't really like the word "defense" because it gives off the feeling of black and white morality which isn't ever really the case with Koimonogatari (except for D** being a piece of shit but that aside..), but it was the most concise way I could put it in the title. In this post, I essentially want to cover the logic and justification behind Mikeda and Yamato's falling-out.
Yamato has liked Mikeda from the beginning, but as their friendship progresses, it comes more and more difficult to hide his feelings. This comes to a head when Mikeda confesses that he has a crush on a girl, and Yamato (unrightfully, I might say) feels betrayed.
Yamato's feelings start to overwhelm his sense of control and it gets to a point where he can't help but smack away Mikeda's hand when his friends messes with his bangs. Shortly after this, Mikeda starts to distance himself from Yamato and their friendship basically comes to an end. The obvious reason why Mikeda distances himself is because homophobia✨ is a bitch, but there's another reason at play.
Mikeda's main characterization is that he's frank and honest to a fault.
As Yamato is having more and more difficulty hiding his true feelings and is having increasing guilt over said feelings, Mikeda can tell that Yamato is, well, not telling him the full truth. With this, there's a clear parallel drawn between Mikeda and Yuiji as well as Seki.
Earlier on, Yuiji is also smacked when he messes with Yamato's bangs; Seki suspects that Yamato isn't telling him the full truth. Both of our boys obviously have a healthier response compared to Mikeda, with both of them still being comfortable to "glomp hug" Yamato where Mikeda can't bring himself to do so anymore.
However, there's also a distinct difference between their friendships. For Seki, he's okay with a slightly hands-off relationship.
For Yuiji, he also has a distant approach for friendships. From thinking that he's okay with just hearing Yamato out when he needs to talk, to being closed off with Hongou when it comes to Mayu, and even telling Yamato directly that he's not good with talking about his feelings.

Mikeda, however, navigates his life with blatant honesty even when it might be off-putting. Yes, realizing Yamato's feelings for him is a big reason for why Mikeda distances himself, but also realizing that Yamato is calculating and faking his interactions with him is also like a major reason. In the end, friendship is all about reciprocity and the sincerity that Mikeda wanted in the friendship ultimately wasn't given by Yamato anymore.
Of course, Mikeda was also being insensitive regarding Yamato's situation with his sexuality, but like....he was also in middle school. Not a great excuse, but people in middle school are generally immature shits. And upon approaching Yamato again at the culture festival, he acknowledges that he messed up, apologizes, and doesn't pressure Yamato to forgive him.
Ultimately, for all that Mikeda fucked up, I think he had valid reasons for doing so, and his approach to Yamato at the fest was done as gracefully as someone apologizing should have done.

The wait is finally over folks! Sorry it took a while. We were all very busy and even got incapacitated by Covid at one point, and those of you who kept asking us for updates didn’t help to ease the pressure one bit, so PLEASE kindly refrain from doing it. We’ve been scanlating this work since 2019 and we don’t plan on dropping it any time soon. Apologies for the rant but they had it coming. (^^)
In any case, here’s the next chapter!
Here are the links on where to buy the official translated English volumes (both printed and digital versions) :
Tagura-sensei is active on that platform, and the last thing we want is to be waving bootlegged copies under her nose. Thanks, enjoy and have a good weekend!!

p.s. shoutout to our raw provider, @empressirridescence, and to the whole team for their generosity in both $$$ and effort to make this chapter happen.
Special Surprise Incoming!
Since the next chapter is going to be released soon, I was just going to post a summary of this side chapter, but I translated the pages instead. Please keep in mind that I don’t usually do this! I did this because it was only 6 pages in total and not the usual where it’s like around 20+ pages. Having said that, disclaimer time! Please refer to the official translations once it comes out and/or, if you prefer, from a scan team. I’m still learning JP so I’ve done my best to translate for y'all to read the panels easily (literal translation can be hard to rephrase imo ;;) SFX effects, however, are untouched since they take too long to edit.
