Do have to say again, those last 2 pages made the entire manga infinitely better than what I thought about it.

It's also one hell of a tease though

Yeah is kind of bothersome the way a lot of yuri mangas end just when things are getting good.

Irritating in my case, those endings usually makes me completely trash my opinion on whatever it is that I read.

Totally agreed. The entire set of extras really elevates this series.

And I too wish most would go beyond high school, through college, and into adulthood. Hell, I wouldn't mind a few time skips here and there.

You have to remember that the magazine this ran in was cancelled and the author went out of his way to tie up all the loose ends and still provide a satisfying end with the special. Who knows how many volumes this would've had otherwise.

I actually love those types of ending, in Girlfriends it was great to see that both were alive and kickin', and this one was actually better
Problem is that, unlike Girlfriends, we didn't get to see both of them enjoying their new relationship and the ending was quite the slap on the face of whoever wanted to see them reaching the stage of living together

Better than when NOTHING happens.

Is dissapointing when you need Yuri googles to read 'yuri' manga -_-

I think it's pretty obvious that both of them burned their cosmos through the stars, it's just a shame we didn't get to SEE it
Funny how it's similar to The Flower And The Star where both feature yuri kisses but not between the main characters
Why do they do that
Why

I prefer when they get together early, I find it more entertaining when they actually interact with each other as a couple (I like flirtyness... I need to go re-read Wife and Wife) Like the side couple on this manga, Shinobu and Azusa. Currently I don't read anything where they aren't a couple or get together early, except for re-reads of already completed stuff OR if it's quite hilarious like: Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni!

Rarely get mangas like that tho, kinda why I go mainly for doujins now (preferably from mangakas that do story-connected doujins).

...

On a side note, a bit offtopic on the replies... This mangaka made Azusa a really attractive, yet not overdone, character... I rarely say that about manga characters...

ehhh is it really over?
:/
wish it were finished off where they become official
yuri is too oblivious xD
she should be honored because not only is someone from a distinguished family considered to be her friend, but also loving her OTL

The final extra pretty much implies they became a couple.

I also got the impression that everyone knew during their schooling that they were dating despite both girls trying to keep it a secret. Not to mention their double-date.

Yeah, I also got that impression since the other girls said something like "they´re officially going out" and stuff. Ah, I really love this manga ♥

this was good, but like others have said it was just getting started when it ended. the extra made it so much better, and of course I think its meant to be taken that they are a couple and together.

I like it when manga has a build up over most of the story, has a confession, they get together, and then maybe 1 or 2 chapters more about them being together.

this was still really good though, and I really enjoyed it!!

Loved it!

KAWAII

i never noticed chapter 3.5 had a yui ikari reference, awesome

I couldn't end up liking Misono, didn't like her at the beginning, took a like at the middle, and end up not liking her much at the final.
But I'll took away every bit of dislike I have only for the extras, I think that is where the author is more good at, and the last page.. it was just superb.

I think it's the rarity of these extras depicting what happens after high school that makes some series become much more than a regular romance story.

Aw man~! I wanted to see more teasing. Darn. masochist

This was a cute story. I especially loved the special. Hehehe.

Hmm pretty good...*reads the vol 2 sp.* yeah I enjoyed this one reads last pages WHAAAAAAAATT?! didn't expect that. Good read...too bad no kiss :p.

Under risk of some people wanting to skin me alive, I think this story is great as it it, and yes, that includes the end point. Aside from the fact that the extras "hint" a relationship of the kind we were here for (it's pretty much evident), I mean, because you could ignore them and even then the only possible way for them to go would be becoming a couple.

Misono couldn't be more obvious if she confessed (seriously, "That will do for now"?), and Yuri's just oblivious from beginning to end. Their relationship progressed a lot in a short time, though, and as I see it the whole development made it seem as if it would progress to romantic sooner rather than later. And we already saw that, apparently, they started dating while still in high school. Meaning, it couldn't have taken them more than three years after first meeting.

As it is, anything more could've been excessive, depending on the... management of the story. Mind you, all this doesn't mean I wouldn't have liked more, only that we've seen how things can turn out when the story is stretched too much. I'd rather have it end here than have it go in circles for another lot of chapters.

Time to sit back with some iced coffee and pie, and read this again.

Allow me to join you

I shall join you guys, getting myself some snacks and drinks.
It's like a small party :p

Lol well pizza and iced tea...and a good re-read ^_^

I liked this, even if it was a bit on the short side. While I appreciate conciseness, I'd have loved to see the developments stretched out a bit (and maybe see a little more of Shinobu?).
Also: that postscript s2 =3

While I agree with much of that, I still feel kinda cheated out of the confession. I mean, just imagine their faces! XD
