WAIT, in page 7 did sensei and her partner kissed without swapping?

If you check, the "kiss" sfx appears twice, so I guess not.

Are we entering Lesbian side couple territory? I know it's usually used in stories that do not focus on yuri, but I think Chinatsu and her girlfriend (side note: do we still not know her name? I can't remember seeing it) fit on a literal definition of the tag...

It's Kindaichi Miharu (literally in the first panel of the second page of this chapter).

They kissed twice in the second panel and then once to swap in the fourth, according to sfx.

So basically, they have it figured out.

This was really cute.

Multiple small pecks...

Well that's two ways to do it, I guess so.

Oh...a confirmed yuri couple.

On another related topic. Sex between these swapping couple must be confused as heck. Unless kissing is forbidden during sex

What do you mean by "Oh...a confirmed yuri couple."? Its not new

"My vision for the future includes you".

That's pretty much a proposal.

I really love how the teacher's boobs goes past the frame

She said it on the 2nd page.

Fuyumi and Akiho don't seem to actually view themselves as being in a regular dating relationship, so Natsuko and Haruko don't appear to quite recognize them as being lovers, either. Especially given how flustered Natsuko always seems to get at the prospect of anyone dating.

One of the pair from the previous chapter have claimed to be dating, but Natsuko was still uncertain at the end because the actions of the other one weren't really clear.

So this kind of is the first time a couple has come out and confirmed they're actually dating. And who act more in line with what is generally associated with a dating couple.

(On an unrelated note, I could totally see Akiho watching another romance movie, this time one with a sex scene, and just like with the kissing, getting curious, and again just like with the kissing, Fuyumi going "alright, let's do it." And them still seeing themselves as really close friends that just happen to enjoy having sex with each other. There's an idea for a doujin.)

It's a good thing Haruko doesn't have my sister's personality, or being sent to a different class than her friend circle would have been a huge deal for everyone involved (and when my parents found out it was made on purpose by the school, the later sure learned to never again attempt their socialization experiments).

What the heck happened with your sister? If youre okay telling that is

Boob-overhang panels are a travesty and should be illegal.

I dunno if I'd allow anyone to drink in my body no matter how well I knew them. if it became chronic I'd certainly bar them.

Great chapter, especially the teacher's relationship. The only thing that made this even better is that I thought we'd have to wait until next year for this.

Thanks. Speed reading fail!

Yeah, that was super cute.

Haruko actually seems to get cuter every volume.

Thank you for being in this series, Sensei.
It's just nice to imagine that's how Natsuko and Haruko will end up when they are adults even though we may never be able to see it. Eternal youth is a thing in some mangas after all.

The curious thing is how Natsuki doesn't even mind two girls dating anymore. The teacher reveal that they're dating was received with just indifference.

I always appreciate the presence of adult lesbian couples in schoolgirl yuri manga.

TBF she more or less had prior warning from the previous chapters. Not much of a surprise anymore really...
Add the one long-established and recently another likely girl-couple in her social circle (plus arguably the extra levels of UST her relationship with Haruko has developed lately) and she's probably getting fairly blasé about the general idea.
Or at least has graduated from "incredulity" to "nervous curiosity", IYKWIM... ( ͡¬ ͜ʖ ͡¬)

Fuyumi and Akiho basicly introduced themselves with: ''We kiss because we want to'' if thats not announcing you are a couple then you arent a couple if you arent married

They also kind of have warped senses, and have only ever said they do it because they enjoy it, so there doesn't seem to be any emotional element to it. Which is why I find it tough to define them as dating.

Hell, Akiho keeps wanting to kiss other girls.

Akiho and Fuyumi pretty much jumped straight from "childhood friends" to "functionally married" without passing "Go" bothering with the various intermediate steps. To all appearances by now their relationship is such a natural and self-evident part of their lives they don't even think about it and would probably get rather confused if you asked them for some kind of definition.

She's also a troll and would hardly be the only one curious about how widely applicable the bodyswap thing is...
Hell.
Fuyumi herself tested the matter with her dog. She STRONGLY DISAPPROVES of the idea of Akiho experimenting with other girls though.

Fuyumi just generally doesn't like anyone aside from Akiho, though. And Akiho is her only friend. The possessiveness could just as easily stem from those facts. Meanwhile, Akiho seemed more interested in kissing them because she thought they were cute than out of curiosity about swapping.

I consider how they themselves would define it to be important, because I think intent is pretty important. And I cannot help but feel like they'd define themselves as being friends. You're free to have a differing interpretation on either point, though. The kind of relationship they have just seems like something that would appear in one of those romance series where the characters are essentially all but already dating the entire time, but never actually manage to take the step forward and become an actual couple..

Either way, though, it's kind of tough to argue that their relationship dynamic is really anything normal, so having a couple that is just plainly dating is still something new.

Fuyumi seems like one of those people who's fine with solitude but enjoys company well enough, though (not unlike Haruko in that regard) - Akiho seems to have been the first friend she made and she didn't seem to be particularly troubled by the whole thing beforehand. She's also gradually starting to warm up to Natsuki & Co. and doesn't have any principal objections to widening her/their social circles so there's that.

Anyways. Those two for all intents and purposes grew into their particular relationship, given it started when they were still in elementary school. It's likely intuitive to them now in the same vein as their relationships with their family members; something you don't question, think about or need to specifically define or label unless you have some specific reason to (which usually means some level of unpleasant drama or strife).

That certainly doesn't make them a very useful point of reference for someone going through the (relatively) regular kinds of teenage romantic shenanigans of course, since in that context considerable quantities of time and anxiety tend to go into worrying and fretting over the specifics of the relationship. A fair bit of common ground is missing from the respective experiences.
