"I've longed to have a dear, special friend just like they have".

Then they kiss off-camera. Even the in-story characters are joining the meme.

EDIT: I kinda fear now for Kasumi living under the same roof as the lecherous beast Sakurako has become.

Kasumi has Sakurako basically on leash at this point lol, she has nothing to fear.

There are other moments where Kasumi is openly gay for Sakurako too like when she casually joked about marrying Sakurako in front of the mom

She wasn’t joking.

Strange how people think it's joke when there is nothing indicating this is the case. I guess the scene was supposed to be humourous but Kasumi herself sure was serious. I don't she is the sort of people to joke about theses sort of thing anyway

I swear, every time I see Sensei, I'm reminded of this...

In regards to the affection thing, the relationship between Sakurako and Kasumi is very close (unnervingly so at times) to the one my boyfriend and I have, ignoring the fact that we are late 20s gay men and not cute anime girls. To avoid just filling this comment with a small essay on the parallels, the relevant part of the comparison is this; I (the Sakurako) come from a very touchy-feely family, lots of hugs and kisses, lots of "I love you's" Whenever we say goodbye or hello or whenever, which leads me to want to be attached to him at basically all times. He, on the other hand, comes from a much more reserved family where skinship and overt affection was more reserved, and he often feels like he has had enough, or more than enough skinship and affection between us just from what I give him so he rarely shows me overt affection unless its something special. Which is all to say that, given Sakurako is even more pushy and clingy than I am, Kasumi being exhausted and lacking the or desire energy to return any of Sakurako's overt displays of affection doesn't actually say much or anything about her feelings.

Seems like in Ch.44 Kasumi and Sakurako share the same pair of earrings. I don't remember if this particular one has any significance or was shown in previous chapters.

I still maintain that those "I live to take care of you" lines you sometimes see in romance manga are creepy as fuck ^^

It's certainly not the healthiest of attitudes, yeah, but with Kasumi being the ways she is, it's probably the perfect fit in this case. By far not the creepiest thing Sakurako has said, though...

Not physical? Kasumi hugs, nuzzles and rubs against Sakurako all the time! I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Kasumi might be Ace, Sakurako-sexual, gay or whatever. But she very clearly accepts Sakurako's love and reciprocates it...even if it's overshadowed by Sakurako's.....
...
...intensity. Yeah that's it.

I was kidding about the leg humping Sakurako! This mad woman is getting delirious from over-exposure to her crack (nickname "Mist"). And she thinks getting kicked by bare foot is a reward. Kasumi has broken her down completely by now.

To think Seri and Shouko would develope almost entirely off-screen, well I'm happy for them regardless.

So Moka is the type who is more attracted to someone the more they resist. Ruri-chan sure got her work cut out for her.

Yeah, I think Kasume is totally game for living with Sakurako just like this basically forever. I'm really liking how things have switched up a bit now that they are in college.

Omfg yesyes they finally kissed~ Been shipping seri and shouko for awhile~ so happy

So Kasumi's the only one who didn't give in to giving Koruri a nickname, fits with her character at least. Probably an effort that she even remembers her name. I'd think sakurako's one step from yandere territory if this wasn't such a light hearted series.

seem like sakurako has been reading swap<->swap lately and had a dream about it.

Came here to post this. That reference is so uncanny I bet Yukiko must have read the manga.

My love for this series has grown quite a bit over time. I'm so glad its actually gotten better as it continues. Sooo glad someone sent a link to ch29. I musta forgot about it cuz it was a while ago. Kasumi best girl <3

That's a nice homage to Swap x Swap ending.

...but what's with the "not lizard?" Are we going to have "not Tizard," to show that we're non-nuclear yuri scientists here?

The salamander. Relevant.

Sakurako finally gets a reaction from hugging Kasumi, and doesn't realize due to being in full teacher mode.

The camping chapter's last page is like a surprise Kanno attack. Remembering the early images for this series, I wish the author drew like that more often.

Driving camp got to be one of the most Japanese things I've heard of ^^;

Heh yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

That was some Akina-level accuracy in measuring... And took almost as long to get to baking as well. :D

Side couple just going for it. That's nice.

LOL, I'd love to read that crossover.

Anyone else paranoid as f### over Sakurako sneezing twice over inconsequential things??? The author better not be foreshadowing a serious illness or some other drama. This has been light hearted and sweet but my spider-senses are tingling. Can anyone tell me I'm wrong so they will shut up?
