Afraid of what others might think? lady your pretty much living in an osaka gay district as there hasn't been a single straight girl in the story so far.

Let's not forget Ms。Realtor and Emi-sensei, now。 Plus anyone outside the main cast;just because they're not illustrated doesn't mean they don't exist。 Well,usually。

Re: Chapters 13-15

This series just keeps getting BETTER! And not just a little better. a lot better. How is that even possible when it was amazing to start with? The Kogumi/Hayase kiss (on-screen, no less!) in chapter 13, the cuddling and emotion in 14, and to top it off, Kana seriously falling in love in 15, my poor heart can't take it!

Totally worth the wait, and then some.

Oh, and mental note. Never, ever, EVER mess with Hayase's girlfriend. It ain't healthy.

if chapters 14-18 are coming out, then does that mean the series is coming to an end?

Ahhh, my tooth...this is just too sweeeeeeet.
Glad this isn't just "slice of life", but actually has some sort of plot.

Come to think of it, this is sort of a rarity in yuri manga, isn't it? The story of a pair of characters (and the various relationships around them) who are in love and the actual story is about them falling more deeply in love and having their shared experiences. There aren't very many I can think of like that, really. The second volume of Hanjuku Joshi, maybe, or Love My Life, but there aren't too many others.

I do think there's a bit more of that in doujins, but even there the focus is really about the girls getting together in the first place.

It's sad that yuri tends to end SO quickly though. We don't get the 10-15 volume epics that het mangas do (and among het that's not even considered all that epic) other than rarities like Marmite. Heck, I'm happy just to see two volumes worth out of a good yuri, like Hanjuku Joshi, Gokujo Drops or Fragments of Love.

I desperately seek this sort of manga... Non-one-shots with an early "couple-ing" (not a word) or an "already a couple" setting that last throughout, about just them falling more and more in love and/or at least dwelling within a peaceful slice of life approach. With none of the overused (that already infuriate to me) clichéd complications (like love triangles, they are EVERYWHERE... Which is the only thing I dislike about this manga).

On my list I think I only have:
Hanjuku Joshi
Angelic Girl
20-Year-Old Girl x 30-Year-Old Maiden
^ those 3 by Morishima ♥.

Sweet Little Devil
Husky and Medley
Shoujo Holic ("couple-ing" (not a word) happens half way, guess thats close enough...)
Kimochi no Katachi (happens kinda half way?)

I don't feel satisfied with 99% of long-running mangas that are usually of the angsty stories that take many chapters to get to that single final chapter of "-- and they get together, the end" to which by the end I am mindnumbed out of waiting. "FUCK! GET TOGETHER ALREADY!" is all that goes through my head ignoring whatever the fuck is going on story-wise. Only like very few exceptions.

Well, this is coming from someone who - Don't wanna sound like an asshole but, w/e - considers most manga/anime drama and action stories as utter idiotic shit. I rarely find myself impressed by what I find here of the sort. Which is why I usually go for genre I feel work well...

Aaaaanyways, I love this kind of manga, and would love to have more these...

Octave has quite some angst, but it's still about a couple getting closer.
Pretty long too, 6 volumes.

You can add Love My Life to that as well, given the story starts when she's about to introduce her lover to her dad, and they only grow into each other from there. You can also add the Touhou doujin MariAli, since they get together about a third of the way in or so. Similarly, Santa Sangre, an excellent Nanoha doujin, starts with the two of them already in a relationship.

I totally share your frustration with stories that END with the girls getting together, especially in light of how much good storytelling can come after that point. I think in part it's due to the very short nature of yuri, most publishers don't seem to want to devote much space to developing stories. Stuff like Sweet Blue Flowers or Sasameki Koto, that take more than two volumes, are pretty rare, and one-shots are the norm. So there's not much space for the kind of character development we both want to see.

I don't mind romances that cover the early part of a romance, up to where it's a sure thing. But that's hardly ALL I want out of yuri.
