They held hands! They freaking held hands!!!

So close! yet so farrr T___T

They held hands! They freaking held hands!!!

It's official!

Ugh... I somehow have a really bad feeling about it now... I understand why Ran would want to be the mediator between Keiko and her mum, but she really plays with fire here, in my opinion. Keiko isn't even resolved about her relationship with Ran yet. So pressing Keiko with two relationships at the same time - this might really turn out painful to read... Ran should stabilize her relationship with senpai first, and only afterwards try to deal with Keiko's mum. I mean we should see the couple kiss, and we should see Keiko being physically aroused by that. Up till now she was clearly happy mentally to have Ran by her side, but being comfortable of being next to each other, even physically, doesn't mean the desire for sex. And no, that boobplay on the Christmas party was not enough of a proof!

The panties service starts getting really annoying if it's clearly only done for the readers. It should be the service for Keiko in the first hand! Yet Ran is such a cutie, HNNNG... and a gothic lolita cosplay with pigtails... oh my... Ah Keiko, Keiko! How could you not kiss her lying so defencelessly in the snow? How could you not hug her tightly when she felt cold? Keiko's really... really ultrashy and embarrassed about Ran... So just a handhold for now... Agh, I really-really hope that it's just my cold that makes me pessimistic and a bit depressive today. I really secretly hoped for a kiss this chapter, to be honest. Even if another side's asleep, even if on a cheek or in the forehead... But apparently I'm asking for too much.

And no more stretches! Hope it's not a foreshadowing of a broken relationship...

I thought the same when I read the chapter again, I think in most manga when it's okay is because something bad is to come.

Red, what a pic you have now!!! Gives you such a different perspective (￣▽￣)

And you can't buy it if your location is outside Japan T__T I'm curious how many chapters are in each volume though.

were almost there. I can feel the yuri coming

All I want for Christmas is for these two to at least kiss. Jesus.

K.O! Just make out already!

WHAT? can not buy if you are outside of Japan? This world is too cruel...

I bought both in book form from Amazon JP ;) good purchase since I like the gentle story progression, and looking forward to the next chapters whether more yuri or not.

You could just try to use a Japanese proxy to buy it ... It shouldn't matter for SSL and https.

The "THIS IS NOT STRETCHING" part had me dying.

God the slow progression of this story is just so wonderful and cute. I don't even mind that it's slow. But thank goodness for it finally picking up a little <3

They held hands! They freaking held hands!!!

That's at least second base for a standard yuri manga. Good enough for me.

Hell, all that's left now is marriage.

And here's Ran suggesting she meet Keiko's mother...

where... is... the... yuri... tag...?

I'm smiling so much after reading this...

On second thought, I don't want yuri tags right now, seeing these little teases and hints in the chapters makes my day. <3

I think you read WAY too much into the manga. It is not yuri, yet. Their are NOT in a romantic relationship.

Just thought that Keiko's been quite sadistic towards Ran this whole time. This reminded me of the chapter 14, and I thought that may be she was quite hard with her ex too? Perhaps she really needs this? Is it coming from her mum beating her in the childhood or am I reading too deep into the subtext?
And Ran's like the opposite - seems to be grown up in a proper family, never got hit by anyone, yet the first thing she expects from Keiko is "extort me", "beat me up like a sandbag", "kill me in cold blood" - so iMaginative. Is this what actually excites her? These days at least she seems to quite literally enjoy being spanked by her dear senpai, LOL. And this makes Keiko quite bewildered in return: "How come you look like you're enjoying it..."
This is in a sense the reason why the look like a really good couple. The behaviour of one excites another, but the response to this excitement calms down both and prevents from severely hurting each side.

Hell, all that's left now is marriage.

Komatsu Ran - sounds legit, right?

^ and that guy will be there...

What's that supposed to mean..?

I think you read WAY too much into the manga. It is not yuri, yet. Their are NOT in a romantic relationship.

It's just like shipping, people like to indulge in the subtext (to different degrees) and put the pieces together, Shou has been providing a lot of it.

I vote for Saeki Keiko!!

I think you read WAY too much into the manga.

I do because far not every manga allows for that. Stretch is practically an exception, in fact. But I think this shouldn't concern and worry you, right?

It is not yuri, yet. Their are NOT in a romantic relationship.

I've never said it is, even though it is to an extent arguable after the previous chapter.

This manga is like drugs now. I always on cloud nine after reading it.....

But yeah so much progress in last 2 chapters. Think they aware of each other feelings now, and our sweet yuri will come eventually. I won't mind more of this really. But we know from Prism that Shou can explore one's relationship even after they dated (unlike other yuri manga where it will just end after the couple was confirmed). So finger-crossed

Shou you magnificent bastard

You know what would be hilarious? If the manga goes on like this for another year (in their time), just showing us this level of subtext, but not enough for us to consider the Yuri tag, but then Ran drops this sucker of a line: "So we've been dating for a year now..."

BOOM.

Maybe it is, but who are you to say so?
