When does the next chapter come out? You're killing me here, mangakasan. First you come out and say the obvious Yuri story isn't a Yuri because 'your rights', then there's a giant months long cliffhanger. Then you post a blog of you eating tasty food and going to a park?

Get back to work! >:(

I get the frustration. However writers need to take some break, too, to keep them creative juices flowing. I'm certain she's working on some chapters little by little even while on hiatus. Keep the faith going mah dude.

While we wait for the chapter, here's the cover art for volume 5.

Oh I found nemo

Whenever I see a series like this where the author is like "No, see, they're just friends!" it makes me wonder...Like, did she have a friendship like this, and not realize that they were totally crushing on each other?

im even more depressed after reading the new chapter. i need i cream.

We reach level of useless lesbian i never know we can reach.Feel like the "don't talk about your problems" trope is going so far through the roof that even Kanade give up. Also no friendship triangle because Kanade friend ship those two.

Finally, the yuri is coming?

Even though this isn’t defined as yuri (which I definitely see why, we have a lesbian so useless that even a shipper like Kaede can’t help her out) I do feel like this is a turning point for Konatsu. As the reader, this is the first time we really get to see her point of view on things, and we can tell that she doesn’t feel okay drifting apart from Honami. Maybe we won’t get a kiss, but there could be some friendship hand holding at the end of this arc? Also I’m expecting a slew of Konatsu titles chapters after all of the Honami ones we just got.

The not lizard is strong in this one.

Wow, I like how this manga is going. Really natural pacing and characters.

It's just jealousy. Why would it be love?

I mean it could be platonic. But I just think that the fact that we see Konatsu’s jealousy is a sign that she values Honami more than we may have originally thought.

Honami....you lizard lesbian dense mother fish cracker, you're the reason this manga has to be "sUbT3xT" smh

1st Chapter: Konatsu Amano won't get sad

Now: Konatsu Amano was feeling sad

Now-Now: Reader is sad

Based just on the first pages of this thread, I think you underestimate what we may have originally thought. ;)

yagate kimi ni naru rewind time

oh so konatsu is the salamander all along?

Oooo true, I was just talking about after Makoto Hagino wrote that tweet about not defining her work as yuri lol.

If only fish could really talk, because the answer is so obvious... Dense as she is, I know is not Honami's fault, instead I think Konatsu should've notice her own feelings earlier, that was the sole reason why Honami went to vent somewhere else, and I know Honami loves - oh I'm sorry, I meant to say "like her" :) - she likes Konatsu very much but of course she only has a couple of hints that the feeling is mutual (like saying "I wouldn't mind being a frog"), who's fault is that? Kouhai!.

So this turn of events is like a necessary evil, I feel like Kaede was holding back with Honami but if she notices how depressed Konatsu is right now she won't hold back to beat some sense into her, and I hope that resolves peacefully.

What a tweeeest!

I'm glad we're getting the payoff to all the time Konatsu spent out of focus, it finally feels like there was a clear point to it all and to Kaede's increased importance.

Yo, just to point out, this is the first chapter where the title doesn’t have “isn’t, wasn’t, won’t” or any type of “not doing something”. Totally not ready for this

Kaede is ace wingman/guardian angel, taking all this time away from her friendship with Snarkmeister Glasses-chan.

So this turn of events is like a necessary evil, I feel like Kaede was holding back with Honami but if she notices how depressed Konatsu is right now she won't hold back to beat some sense into her, and I hope that resolves peacefully.

With hope that Konatsu is less dense then Koyumi because god know that Kaede has already beat so much sense into Senpai with so little result

I mean a lot of times Japanese writers will define yuri as just the cute fluffy stuff, just the genre, not the more broad "yuri = girls loving girls." Which like, clearly with this chapter it's not all that fluffy, there's some real anxiety there.

As far as fans who think that therefore the two girls' relationship isn't meant to be read as romantic by the author, all I can say is, "Ppppffffffffffftt." Of course it is.
