Sus-lik -
There's plenty of subtext, but the main thing is that all the main characters are delightful in the way they sort things out in general with Tomoko, with sex buzzing like background noise. They're all headed out into their lives and figuring things out in various ways with the dwindling time, and somehow it's been a joyous process for the reader (even when it's kinky and mean and Tomoko reminds us that she will probably always be kind of an asshole). Even the really awful characters like Minami (aka Fang, Fang Girl) become strangely compelling. What's really going on is not so much yuri or non-yuri as the messy hilarity of friendship and all the elements of it, and the way the mess makes life worthwhile.
And as A5PECT and others have been saying, reading the frequently agonizing first 65+ chapters of the manga is the only way to get to what I'm describing above.
