You know, you could almost read the new chapter as the two of them already being a couple. Keiko saying "she's mine" and so forth. There's obviously stuff Shou skipped telling the reader about (it's almost like there are missing chapters) so who knows? Maybe it's that.

You know... reading these forum responses are giving me a good sense of the feelings I got reading the NaruSaku forums a few chapters before the end of the manga (The final pairings of that manga are sh#t)... Now I'm not sure whether I wanted Keiko and Ran to become a couple or not, mostly because I wasn't sure of their relationship despite the many posts on this forum that prided their romantic interest in each other, but I must say I do get a slight enjoyment out of seeing the comments go from certainty to nervous doubt for some reason. I wonder why...?

There's more to yuri than kisses
Like holding hands
Which i'm not even sure if it's in Stretch

comparing Stretch to WDTFS is like comparing Evangelion to K-On. I'm exaggerating, of course, but you get the idea.

all I could infer from the recent chapter is that Keiko's moving. But why, how, when.. So many questions.

she's likely going somewhere in Kansai region. Kyouto, Osaka or Kobe, most likely. Fits the 2.5 hours by shinkansen pretty well. I'd assume it's either a business trip or a visit to her mother. The latter is unlikely, 'cos that would mean they all grew and studied in Kansai and spoke in Kansai dialect already. So there would be no place for jokes about it.
All the "last time" lines are part of the farewell game, I believe. Could be a foreshadowing for further drama. But could be just trolling. In either case, Stretch is still so awesome!

chapter 43 is such a troll chapter. The author has probably read the comments and knows that his fans want KeikoXRan. So with that in mind he made chapter 43. He enjoys watching his fans die of bittersweet disappointment, knowing that the hugging was a tease. He is probably going to end the manga with no yuri relationship developing. when that happens I will cry for these fictional characters missing the opportunity for a loving relationship. :( :( :(

We have been getting trolled for a long time now if you haven't noticed already but only recently has Shou stepped his game up and been riding herd on the troll train.

idk I think the rest of y'all are crazy.

Keiko's definitely (I'm 100% convinced) not going anywhere permanently. She's most definitely not moving out. If she was, there would have been at least one sideways glance, or distance-gaze, from either of them. But there wasn't. Plus, the whole atmosphere is incredibly playful...i.e. it suggests she's going somewhere temporarily, but they're making it a big deal because it's fun.

And to think, all this time I thought the idea of this actually being Yuri was a stretch. :P I haven't read the series, I just wanted to make that joke. It was too easy.

The publication date of the next chapter has been moved to October 1, hopefully this means that Chapter 44 will be the end of the volume, but not the series, since it seems that this idea is deeply rooted in Yawaspi, xd

Maybe it will end in next chapter.

Keiko's gone back with her ex, Ran moves on, they go their separate way, The End.

A piece of my heart will die if that happens.

I would never be able to read a manga before it's conclusion ever again.

At least yuri manga.
