I call B.S. on the younger sister thing, that's Tomo! I swear it! She faked her death and everything is okay now.

--- Spoilers Please dont read if you havnt read the manga (I suggest you do if you havn't its a awesome hour read) ----
Well tbh you could actually be right, which in my current mindset I'm agreeing with so I don't cry ._.

Does anybody remember her mom saying something along the lines of " I wish we could of lived happily just the four of us " (Mom, Dad, Tomo, Little BROTHER) And + the "little sister" ( if that wasn't Tomo ) was at least a near adult and would of had to been a sister of the Tomo to even look like that so why didn't she live with her Tomo...?

Also the "little sister" has the same glasses, same outfit that Tomo wore earlier in the manga and put her hands in her pockets the same way......

Finally Tomo said "Don't wait for me" that means she planned on coming back.... (+Her body was never found)

Anyways past my blabbing I really feel like that was actually Tomo and the author is just playing with the readers who don't pay enough attention. ( Hopefully ._. )

Did some research at 1am while mourning over Tomo's 'death' again, and I have come to the conclusion that the 'Tomo' (decided to call her Chi instead to avoid confusion) is Tomo's younger sister.

First of all, I confirmed that she is definitely not Tomo as:
- Chi has the same hair colour as Tomo's stepmother
- Chi shown no signs of aging, as compared to Ai who now has some eyelid detail to denote her aging.

Secondly, it is also confirmed that Chi is definitely not Tomo's younger brother as:
- Chi has eyelashes, which shows that she is a female. Shuninta never draws her male characters with eyelashes (with reference to Ayame 14 vol 2 where at least four male characters were shown to support my assumption)
- Difference in facial features, as Shuninta does not depict her characters with a drastic appearance change as they age (again, with reference to Ayame 14 vol 2, which shown Ayame and Sango as children, teenagers and adults It'll show up eventually on Dynasty Scans ^^;;)
- Chi stated that she was born after Tomo disappeared. Tomo's brother was born already.
- Subtle boobs
- It would be in bad taste to depict Ai falling for Tomo's brother, since Shuninta is so well-known for her yuri works. Just my opinion.

Hence, my conclusion that Chi is Tomo's younger sister.

Also did some quick calculation on their ages based on what I know, which may be wrong so please correct me.

At the time of Tomo's disappearance, Ai should be around 19 years old since the common age for the Japanese to enter university is 18 and Ai is into her second year already, iirc.

Assuming that Chi was born in the same year when Tomo disappeared and entered university at 18, Ai would be around 37 years old. I think it is unlikely that Chi is born in the same year, as her mother was not shown to be pregnant during the time so the age gap may be even wider.

End of report, I'll show myself out now o-o

I feel so late, but I'm going to comment anyway.
Wow. Wow.
I read this in one sitting and I loved every moment of it. Art, story line, everything was just so pleasing and refreshing.
Love this author so much!

No, her dad and his wife had another daughter soon after her death.

Well that was unexpected...I don't know how I feel about this ending. Just because two people look alike doesn't mean they are he same person.

Love is not transferable.

At the end of the day we still don't know what Tomo was thinking? If she loved Ai why didn't she do something?!

Well that was depressing. But it's been a while since the "kill your gays" trope dickslapped me, so it's almost a welcome hurt.

That was the worst way I could have put that.

< Do I look like the type to go to mixers ? Yeah I'd rather spend my money and time on manga and anime, game, novel. Fangirl stuff ya know. > is what I'd say to Chi-chan hahahah X"D
Oh and a college yuri manga covered in smoke ? Dang ! quite a rare sight. I'm in.
But well do college students in anywhere else party and smoke like a chimney like that ?
Personally I don't like smoking but anyway, this is a manga, and I enjoy it's plot. I'm in the same team as Chi-san though, what a hassle you have to interact with people you don't care abt.

Yes, Asians smoke a LOT. I am a South Korean American, and most of my Korean friends smoke. I attended a Fine Arts college and 99% of the kids outside smoking are Korean or Chinese lol. Japanese people, especially men, are known to smoke a lot too. But not as much as South Koreans ick

I think Tomo knows that she is not capable of love because she has never received genuine love. Maybe she ran away because she was afraid. I think she is most likely afraid of hurting people or giving them the wrong idea. Sometimes trying to understand a person like her is difficult.

This is definitely not a fluffy story, but interesting. i hope there is happiness for Ai in that open ending.

I was hoping for happiness, I’ve been looking for a feel good yuri manga to help me out of my depression rut I’m in and this has not helped 10/10 very well written and powerful. I feel gross
