shou delivered the drama when my IRL one is at its peak... more reasons to cry rivers tonight... at least Keiko properly broke up with her ex, or did I mistranslate that too?

/me cries in a corner forever instead

joins the corner, "let's cry together!" T___T

Poor Takachi ;_;

/me cries in the corner and offers (hopefully) comforting hug

Keiko is the most oblivious character. Ran was clearly flirting with Keiko and it went totally over her head. But, I do think they need a break from each other as Keiko needs to get over her ex probably and that takes time. Also, absences makes the heat grow fonder, especially for Keiko as she is clueless and needs to realise her feelings for Ran. Lets hope they don't stretch the separation for too long or im going to lose my shit.

Okay, I'm getting a better idea that Keiko is going away related to her job. Probably some temporary transfer where she'll be away for some extended period of time. And since it's her apartment that Ran can't afford alone, they have to vacate entirely. I'm not feeling the depression so bad since this is pretty clearly a separation that allows both to sort their feelings out, although Ran's got a pretty firm grasp on hers.

idk, it might not work out but if I were writing a yuri story of this nature, this is probably how I'd handle it.

seriously, why is she?
i am so damn confused.
i didnt know it would be this easy to make a manga seem like it is for sure yuri, while at the same time it is %100 not.

Or if you want to look at it from a pessimistic point of view, Shou got tired of writing it and just wants to be done with it :P Also if it was temporary, I doubt Ran would say "I wish we could have stayed longer together"

I wouldn't be surprised if Ran went to live with Saki, and the twist would be when Keiko goes to visit some time in the future Ran and Saki are together :P

Her going away is temporary, they made that clear in the previous chapter. So they can't stay together while she's away, and no guarantee they'll live together when she comes back. Besides which, Ran is drunk and hurting right now so she's probably not looking at whatever will happen down the road but the fact that after tomorrow she'll be alone.

Page 4 pretty heavily implies she's moving because of work, but he really should have made that a lot more clear.

I don't know, to me it implied that she's moving for good. Unless I'm not picking up on something that definitely points to it being temporary. The one good thing at least is that Keiko and her ex talked properly, and hopefully we'll not see him again, or if we see him the next time he's got a woman he loves :P

Well, I suppose he could start dating Ran now that she's available.

Too soon?

That would be my nightmare. But the author might just do that to troll his fans further for thinking this manga is yuri. I would laugh if at the end both Ran and Keiko are in het relationship. That would be the ultimate troll of all trolls.

I'LL FIGHT YOU


On a separate note, can someone confirm that it's a "him" in "So you broke up with him for good this time, huh?" It might be my inner denial, but did I miss a time skip where Keiko got back with her ex?

Though art evil Nezchan... :p
(although I did choke on my tea when I read that)

I suspect there will be a tearful but very frank confession just before Keiko leaves, one that makes it unmistakably clear how Ran feels, forcing Keiko to seriously consider what she has subconsciously avoided admitting to herself so far. Cut forward until after her assignment, and she will have sorted out her feelings, hopefully returning to Ran to confirm that they are mutual.

Then again, I tend to try to be optimistic...
