I'll hope that it is more of the positive vibe version!

Considering this manga I'd be apt to just assume that that's how it was meant personally.

Is there much difference in meaning between ... and ___?

Man, I loved this. All of it. Just read it for the first time, and it was amazing. Straight into my favorites list, and I will definitely re-read it again in the future. Just so sweet and fluffy and cute and romantic.

The only thing, though: It's cute that Yamada is so naive and all, but sometimes she comes across as a complete sexual blank who has never once thought about sex at all prior to hooking up with Kase-san, and it can be a little jarring. But I still loved the series and hope there will be more in the future.

Also: I kept hearing Kase-san's name in this guy's voice:

The Glorious People's Republic of Kase-san!

Also!

Why don't they call each other by their first names? Yamada's first name is Yui, and while we don't know Kase-san's first name (I don't think), we know that Kase is her last name because it's on her house when Yamada goes to visit her.

In fact, everybody calls them by their last names, including Yamada's friend and all of their classmates. The only person we see calling Yamada by her first name is her mother.

Kase's first name is Tomoka (see start of vol2), though it wouldn't really be "Kase-san" if they just kept first naming her all the time. First names will most likely be end game, most likely prior/after/during their inevitable first sexytimes.

Tomoka and Yui are ridiculously adorable names compared to Kase and Yamada, lol.

But, I mean, is it common in Japan to refer to someone you've been dating for 6 months by only their last name? I just think about how weird it would be if my girlfriend were to call me by my last name all the time.

From what I gather it's not uncommon for married couples to refer to each other as "mother" and "father", so idk if this is far off.

Imagining Kase run around with only one glove makes my right hand feel cold...

I notice that the guys in the manga tend to be drawn with what I assume are hiragana characters for their eyes and nose. What's the significance of that? I assume it's a joke I'm not getting because I can't read hiragana.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henohenomoheji
Often used for scarecrows and teru teru bozu and basically just looks like something a kid drew. Seems to be used as an indication of how plain males are compared to the hotness that is Kase.
Fun fact: The guys from the pool chapter are retconned to have henohenomoheji faces in the tank version.

Maybe we can root for a Mikawa x Inoue ending?

Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking of it.

Hey, it worked for Lily Love, why not here?

I got the impression from the Water Park chapter that maybe Mikawa had the hots for her tennis senpai.

You know, the first time Yamada has an orgasm, it's going to blow her little mind.

AND ANOTHER THING!

Am I the only one who would like to see Yamada and Kase-san go out on a double-date with Chitose and Yae from Hanjuku Joshi?

I have always.. felt that Yamada san is really amazing.
She is timid but her selfless attitude is what attracts me so much.. I love this character more and more.

Wonder if that's the reason Kase san likes her..

..that aside.

.."that's what I thought "is a dangerous line T-T..

Looks like that previous line from the last chapter ended up being less dramatic than I thought

Would you translate that last page differently now?
I still have the psd's for everything if you'd wanna update it.

Dang! Wasn't expecting that at all! What a transition.

The timeskip is from like Feb - April? Two to three months roughly? Not too much time then actually?

Basically that last line is now more along the lines of "That's the feeling that I had."

Unless it turns out Takashima is actually trolling us and reveals in the second half that it's all a dream and Yamada actually failed miserably, but that seems rather unlikely.

Well, so much for my hopes of Kase-san and Yamada actually having sex in Yamada's hotel room after the exams.

She passed her exams somehow. As expected.
