This always runs through my mind whenever I read this manga https://youtu.be/4-jrRkQKusU

Also just ASK already. "Hey are you super gay for me? Cause I'm super gay for you!" What's so difficult about that????

(Sorry I just see you as a super friend)

Certainly arguable, as long as you stipulate there’s something even more best than Best Friends Forever.

The romantic nature of their relationship has not been proved (yet).

Let's call it Platonic Love. I think the definitions apply here.

One day, a chapter for this manga will come out with the yuri tag on it. And that's the day everyone will flip their sh*t

Dynasty will tag one chapter as yuri because a character called Yuri will show up.

Or because there'll be a lily somewhere in the background.

See, if this was a girlxboy romance, it'd be easier to say it's past subtext. That doesn't necessarily mean their relationship is not as potent. It's just that there's a natural immediate tension that's a lot easier to pinpoint between a guy and a girl when they're alone together. This is also how Mophead put it in Their Story. Not to say there's no tension between them, it's just that since homosexuality has been shunned for years in the past, our natural instinct is to perceive that tension as friendship when it's between two girls or between two boys. This also means the alter for girlxboy relationships is possible. There may be some form of sexual tension at the start but it settles down and turns into friendship.

The tension between these two though has only been building up. Because of that, I think it's fair to conclude that this is more likely to end in more than just friendship... Unless there's an event that causes that tension to fall flat.

Dear Miss Lonely Hearts,

What does it mean when you’re walking down the hall at school with your special friend and you lean into them and go push-push and they lean back and go push-push-PUSH?

Since they replied to your push-push with push-push-push, does that mean it would be OK to go push-push-push-push next time? Or is that too soon?

Signed,
Pushy Willow

Koyuki going KYAAAA in her pillow thinking about salamanders in caves was all the proof I needed.

Sorry, still Subtext.

I mean, who doesn’t KYAAAA thinking about the friendship of your best friend? With whom you are very friendly? As friends?

Now, if she were thinking of the salamander going in and out of the mouth of the cave, in and out, in and out, in and out, I’d say you were right.

Ahahahaha I think this discussion is the prime example of subtext. I can't stop reading the comments with a knowing grin. XD

Yeah, I’m kind of getting addicted to the yuri/subtext tagging wars—between this, Futaribeya, and, in a different way, Living With My Brother’s Wife, it’s like Dynasty’s hottest (and, usually unintentionally, funniest) new genre.

Subtext, huh? Jesus crikey, ships have been launched from two people just existing in the same universe! If my crackships had this level of "subtext" they'd have been marked down as canon ages ago!

Don't forget hand holding! That's the lewdest thing in the world. (Foot tapping too)

I mean, she called her senpai by her given name without an honorific.

That’s, like, name barebacking.

They're

secretly dating.

If you remove your yuri goggles, this is only a BFF relationship in construction.

This reminds me of an earlier post in this thread which still perfectly describes this manga

These girls better be careful. If they engage in so much platonic friendship, they might end up in a friendship triangle. Then the only solution would be to confess their friendship to each other.

That would eventually lead to them putting on friendship rings and friendship dresses and holding a friendship ceremony. After that they'd have a platonic sleepover at a vacation resort and friendship each other's brains out.

Then they'd go back home, move in together, adopt a child, and spend the rest of their lives with each other.

You know, as friends.

Hell, these days friends are even bump-bump-bumping each other in the halls. In broad daylight, in front of everybody.

And this buying each other ice cream and drinks from the vending machines: compensated friendship.

HOW IS THERE A NEW CHAPTER SO SOON?! BRB GONNA GO READ IT

HOW IS THERE A NEW CHAPTER SO SOON?! BRB GONNA GO READ IT

Because there's several volumes out and magazine scans further than that, that are available. It's just based on the speed of the translator/typesetter.

It’s caught up with the magazine.
