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!

So it ends in a few chapters? That's weird, no mention of Keiko moving at all. Or it was shown from the 41st chapter onwards, I'm guessing she's moving on the 23rd as shown on the calendar after Ran's dream, as well as the gift Keiko gives Ran "Something that lasts a long time."

And before someone says it's not the end, she's moving to a different county (probably).

Gotta say though, Keiko not denying the 'flirting' comment is nice. Even if it's jokingly (most likely).

The yuri in this is dead xD

????? How could Shou do this to me???

Wow, I must've been too hyped by the last chapter to not realize something this drastic was happening.

"We won't be able to cook together like this anymore"

My mood right now = http://i.imgur.com/hC8XdRY.jpg

They say "playing" but we know WE ALL KNOW they meant each word.

Serenata, where is that pic from?

It may be a temporary trip, and its not that far away that she is going according to page 5:

Given what we know about her character anyone want to speculate as to what she is going on the trip for?

I'm sure Shou is enjoying himself immensely by teasing his readers like this, it kinda feels like we're in a H-doujin lol

Shou-sensei, p-please stop teasing us already, we can't take much more!!
Ohoho, what's this? You want it that badly? You're this desperate for some yuri, huh? What am I gonna do with you...

Not far, but as shown in the last panel it's shown that she's visiting for a short time.

Now that I re-read it, it's not stated that she's moving, then again if she wasn't they wouldn't make such a big deal of it. Plus the several reminders of not being able to stretch/cook together, and the last page 'last stretching session'

Ohoho, what's this? You want it that badly? You're this desperate for some yuri, huh? What am I gonna do with you...

This is when we would then be given yuri, just not the type of yuri we were asking for.

Yes, sounds pretty much like Shou.
