redmoo

When are they gonna do the nasty

Never.

Im with that guy on the previous page about this. The author is just gonna wring us until we get tired of him. Although I do feel like the best part of a yuri romance is how the two got together, we're looking at literally volumes of nothing but het drama/just regular drama (the miscarriage, family issues).

As a person who has read every yuri comic on this site at least twice, I'm going to toot my horn for a minute here and admit that i know my stuff when it comes to my yuri. I noticed that every time the younger girl even suggest something that is even remotely gay, her sempai has that look of utter disgust on her face.

I think she's homophobic while her kouhai is a little bit more adventurous but is too apprehensive to act on her yuri tendencies because she knows her sempai is homophobic.

If it weren't for Prism showing that the author clearly has the ability to make a good Yuri comic, I wouldve stopped reading this junk around the 2nd or 3rd chapter in.

EVERYONE! Don't worry! The expert is here! Pay heed to his great words and look uponith redmoo as our yuri savior for they haveth read all thy stories contained in Dynasty's vaults and have decreed Stretch a hoax! Nothing to see my good fellows, move along and find better yuri pastures. Nay! Redmoo! Please bestow your yuri wisdom and guide us to these... better yuri pastures that you and your infinite wisdom may know of and that us, lost sheep may be brought back into the fold that is pure and true yuri!

And Stretch being a Seinen slice of life (And thus dealing with various subject/drama) before supposedly having some yuri part, his yuri expertise does give him the right rate this manga as junk =D

lol calling Stretch junk because it doesnt deliver on the yuri

While homophobic may be too strong a word, I had somewhat similar thoughts. The way Keiko reacted looked like she was extremely conscious and worried about the "kiss". She probably noticed her physical desire for Ran but she's still too scared to do the next step on her own, because "it's wrong" and will make her different to others, etc. It really looked like she wanted that kiss, and if it happened to be the real one, and if Ran put some physical pressure on her afterwards, she might've just finally accepted it. But... In other words, I think Keiko's just in denial.

Takachi, did your face* change recently or am I getting you confused with someone? I don't approve, grr...

Denial I can buy more than homophobic but I'm not all that sold on it.

*Face means avatar

yes, it did. Used to be Seol-a in glasses, then Seol-a in pink last week. Now switch to finger-scissorred Ran
what's wrong with it? You like me more as Seol-a?

more or less same here. I'm not sold on denial myself, but I definitely can't exclude this scenario.

No, I can not deny Ran's adorableness, I'm only messing because it's more convenient for me to recognise who is who by their face as opposed to name. I hounded EvilNemesis for it once, but I'm not really serious.

Sounds reasonable. Shou is a troll, so I can see him teasing a confession, having Keiko going into full denial and him ending the story there.

She's not in denial, nor homophobic. The thought just never crossed her mind because it's out of her reference framework. Like most people, she's probably not been confronted to gay/lesbians in her life.

For a lot of people, "gays" are something alien you see on tv or in the news, not in your neighborhood. And even less as your roomate.

^ '' bleh'' is a very rude reaction tbh, also someone explain to me how the numbering works for these extra chapters

edit: working out atm, so excuse my short post

I suppose the colored chapters are at the beginning of each volume and the stretches extra are in the end, the numbering is made up to place them in the right position... is that what you asked ?

I am wondering why 22,5 has the cover of ran from vol 4

I think that's just because the scanlator put the last cover in date at the beginning of the chapters he does, not the cover of chapter's volume. Chapter 23 have the cover of volume 2 too (or 1 I don't remember).

I do not know if Keiko is in denial, but even where we saw Keiko ever felt like kissing Ran. chapter 12 and chapter 30

Actually It is the cover from volume 3, the volume 4 isn't out yet. But this cover isn't on the volume 3 chapters because the cover wasn't out when the chapters where scanlated

Low blow Shou!! how dare you ... I love it but HOW DARE YOU!?!
I want an ending with Ran saying "Back then, I lied... I didn't use my fingers"

I think we all should be used to Shou's teasing by now, but dammit, I was hoping it was a real kiss anyway lol.

^Hey, hey, we don't know FOR SURE if she actually used her lips or her fingers. She could be lying about using her fingers :D

maybe her foot :D
that what she get when she lying down and expect something dirty happen :DD

At least as importantly, she's never had a meaningful relationship that's turned out well. The closest was her last one, and then the miscarriage and general horribleness that came along with it happened. I doubt she even has a reference point at all for "supportive, healthy and enjoyable romance".

Before getting into bullshit theories about homophobia, don't forget the obvious, story-supported things staring you in the face. And for that matter even referenced in the most recent chapter.

I hate you, Shou, but I love you, but I hate you. :/

Is it just me or the last few days have people been overreacting towards Stretch almost as much as they do with Citrus? There's still very clear development going on. Them actually getting in a relationship this soon would feel kinda rushed anyways. It seems rather unlikely that they'll be in a relationship for awhile realistically. Until some of their personal problems are taken care of at the very least.

Angst. People suck at handling angst. Look at any simulpub'd anything and people get angsty over the angsty characters doing angsty things and respond in angsty ways (typically salty rage). Stretch has more an aura of angst lately (although not enough to warrant a tag)...enough that it caused this reaction.

Shou has handled this magnificently, and I think he will continue to do so. If the two do end up together, it will definitely one of the best canon ships we've come across in a long time.

There's really no angst in Stretch. A bit because of the miscarriage thing and because of Ran's father death, but nothing too overwhelming.

I think people are overreacting because the relationship makes no explicit progress. It's all low key and subtexty and it's frustrating.

I don't think that is that. I think that's more a case of fear of uncertainty about the future.
We don't really know what Shou is thinking to do with this series. And deep in our hearts we fear that Shou will do the ultimate troll move and give this series and het end.

The only het end I can guess at, would be Keiko getting back with her ex and restart from there, with Ran supporting them, while trying to get over her crush. That woud send people waiting for yuri in a fit of rage (including me) but that wouldn't be an bad ending if Keiko can find happiness. As for Ran, well, heartbreaks happen.

Anyway, the way the story goes right now, unless something big happens to get them closer than they are now (which is already a lot), I can't see them getting out of the friendzone.

I don't understand people who think the ex is an option. The guy seems completely over Keiko and even when he was whining over her he didn't seems to try to recontact her or do anything... I don't see how it can be good for her to go back to him, the guy just gave up.

Not saying he's bad and totally in the wrong but it seems just over to me

Well I'm fairly sure there is still stuff that has been hinted at still in store, so I don't think we should be too worried.

And if there's a het end, I think someone new will be bought in.

Unless Shou decides to troll us with Ran getting with the ex, I can totally see him doing that in the last chapter.

Because it's the only male in the whole 3 volumes that got more than 1 appearance and even got to know Ran.

It's just that he's the only option yet. Making him appear twice can't be innocent.

So, unless Shou throw another guy in the ring, he's the only one who can give Ran a run for her money.
