I just saw the announcement!!! First volume doesn't come out until January of next year though... :( Still:
Eventually, it will be mine!
As for this chapter...
I wonder why the chapter was titled 'Multiple Choice' though? Because of her math homework? xD
If I had to guess, I would say it is because of the emphasis in Yuu's thoughts that "it doesn't have to be Nanami, it could be anyone."
That is the major theme of chapter 8. I commented that I wanted the answer to that question earlier, but I don't think that this IS the answer, I think it is rationalization. We have seen NO evidence that she would be doing the same type of things if it were someone else, with the slight exception of her agreeing to read her friend's novel and give her feedback. (That, however, is something that I truly do feel ANYONE would do if their friend asked them. It is kind of an honor to be asked your opinion on something the other person truly seems to value...)
Throughout this chapter she thinks variations on the theme. "I would have done the same... for anyone. Not just Nanami-sempai. So he's wrong." "I just needed somebody to sit next to. It didn't have to be Nanami-sempai." "I didn't choose this... Still, being chosen has its own charms, Though I may have been happy regardless of who chose me."
Then, near the end, we have an homage to the line by Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, which he uses to avoid saying outright that he is in love with Eliza "I've grown accustomed to her face." In this case, "I'm getting used to spending time with Nanami-sempai. That's the way I began to think of it."
She feels happy when Nanami gives her a present when she returns from her family trip. (The mini-planetarium.) She is happy when Nanami chooses to study with her instead of going with a group of friends. She admitted to Nanami that she enjoyed kissing her and that she wouldn't be truthful if she didn't say she was curious...
Her lack of the feet off the ground, heart pounding reaction is all that is really holding her back from acknowledging that she has at least started falling for Nanami. I do wonder if those feelings will ever come for her, after they have built a trusting relationship and spent plenty of time together... I still say she is most likely demi-sexual and just hasn't quite gotten close enough to Nanami to be really aroused by her, yet she is still attracted and does want to be with her...
Now we have even more to look forward to, with the publication of this fantastic manga coming to Seven Seas. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Seven Seas Manga for bringing so many Yuri titles to our shores!
