To be honest, if you remove your yuri googles, Ran's emotional involvement toward Keiko may be totally non romantic.

It might be, but I don't think it's just "yuri goggles". Ran had a dream about Keiko that Shou specifically wrote in, and when pressed on whether she was having "trouble with her boyfriend", Ran replied with "something like that". It's clear that there's an intended implication of romantic feelings on Ran's behalf.

Keiko's investment in Ran, however, is more ambiguous. But I think it's silly to pretend Shou isn't putting in any suggestions at all for Ran being romantically interested in Keiko.

people seem to forget about that dream chapter but also remember she wonders why she even had a dream like that. it could be that she never realized her sexuality and either still hasnt or is finally figuring it out

man if this had a yuri tag i would have been so mad at this point XD

Yet my little heart is hoping to see a yuri tag one day. At this point I'm thinking it probably won't have one, it would be a pleasant surprise to see it though. I'll keep enjoying the ride for now.

Could have had a Subtext tag from the beginning.

Wait what...?
But I thought for sure the few last chapters were hinting for yuri in the near future....

We're talking about Shou, Legendary Master Troll and Supreme Lord of the Dark Arts of Deceit, tracing and vagueness.

We can't be sure of anything. For all we know in the next chapter they can be together as romantic couple, Keiko could be back with her boyfriend and Ran paired with... er... the perverted boob-loving kid, or a thermonuclear device fall and everyone die.

Well, 100% of the vagueness and trolling rep comes from this one manga. And afaik he's quit it with the tracing, so.

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."

Everything previously permitted is now mandatory.

It should always be "why not" not "why".

By leaving it unresolved, this little series of stretching diagrams has drawn 3300 comments.

3300 comments? Wtf?

New chapter released!

So Keiko's moving to kansai in a few days?

Lots of teasing, as usual.

Yeah, the " as usual " says it all. I had a lot of fun with this manga. But even if it ever becomes yuri, there is to much filler and trolling to make it a great story. But the shipping was great.

Thanks for the translation boon.

I just can't anymore...

I'm not as strong as an interpreter of subtext as you guys here, but did I miss something about someone moving?

Hella kawaii <3

I seems Keiko is moving out for some reason (I don't believe a reason has been given though). Still the whole tone of the chapter feels off, we'll see where it goes I guess

"I'm sick of watching you lovebirds flirt with each other..."

Saki telling it like it is.

I figured Keiko was moving out from the last chapter (although not a thing was said as to why and for how long - so everything could be back to normal in a couple of chapters), but I think this was the first time I felt that the way the plot has been presented for quite some time makes everything feel rather pointless. Shou has been showing us the main characters just going through the motions of their routines and habitual interactions. I can't really tell what makes them tick nor can I gauge what's going on in the story. The early chapters with the time skips felt more interesting.

I was wondering the same thing. Like, "Was I concentrating so hard on the will-they-won't-they that I didn't notice the big decision to move out happening? What's going on???"

I, I just cannot read this manga anymore...it started with high hopes, and the Yuri was just in front...but Shou just keeps trolling the readers, laughing at our suffering. The latest chapter is such a blatant mockery at all the Yuri fans, with "lovebirds", and all the flirting, so close yet so far!
I'm not a masochist, it's time to stop reading it! Goodbye, Stretch!

Did I do the over-dramatic farewell right?

Kidding of course, the chapter was so good!
