Here I am looking for posts regarding how they finally did it, but I see these threads and yuu puns

Did you yuu expect anything else...

Leaving now.

Yes!!! I've been waiting for Yuu to do this since forever.

Well, if you must know how:

First they watched a horror movie, then made dinner (with cheesecake!), then they took baths, separately, then Yuu climbed aboard Touko and kissed, hugged, and bit her, then they took off their clothes, there was more hugging and kissing, they said, "I love you" to each other, and then they intertwined fingers.

Then they woke up.

Hope this helps.

and then they intertwined fingers.

Yep. Things got really lewd this time around.

One can not forget the cheesecake.

Don't Yuu worry, it's just a laugh track on YT, from the HollywoodLaughTracks selection.

Yay, I'mma make another post towards the very emotive discussion we had.
It's gonna be a big concession, so pls don't be mad.

I've mulled it over and over in my head and come to some conclusions. Took a while, but I'm kinda stubborn that way.
While I still find the dub to flow more nicely due to the omission of Japanese address habits, I had forgotten that they can add quite a lot of depth to a story. It's just that I didn't, and still don't necessarily, consider BiY that way.
That isn't to say that I don't acknowledge that proper address habits (surnames and first names, that is, I'm not budging on honorifics themselves) can add another subtle layer to characters and interactions. I was effectively reminded of this yesterday when I rewatched an episode of Hyouka on a whim, where the English dub does deliberately employ first names and family names to emphasize the relationship dynamics between the characters throughout the story. Now I'd say that Hyouka is much more deeply steeped in Japanese culture and lore, but the point stands: it can add so much that I was neglecting.
Coming back the the Manga at hand: If I go through with my editing project, I'll definitely do the first few chapters with both a first-name as well as a more authentic approach (sans honorifics), just to see if they're really that different to me. Spoilers: I think it'll work.
It wouldn't solve all the issues. The StuCo scene in Ch. 12 would work right off the bat. "Touko-Senpai" could, for the most part, become just "Touko", the few times that actually happens. A name-substituting or lone-standing "Senpai" is usually mostly filler or an address and can probably be replaced with either the surname, a different idiomatic filler or a pronoun. For the finale of Ch. 44, however, I can't quite see a better solution than a nickname. I mean, in that situation a nickname would probably work since they are lovers and it was an intimate situation... but still, unless it's foreshadowed in Ch. 12, it's not quite as elegant (which I think can be done without much issue).

Thoughts? (pray for my soul...)

Also I have another theory for the final chapter: They're coming out to Yuu's family, but Rei already knows and does her best to move it along swimmingly. Not only has Rei put two and two together herself, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was on the phone with Touko that night at the start of Ch. 39, not Hiro.

Ch. 39

I don't think Rei appeared in that chapter? I just re-read it to find her, but didn't see her anywhere?

Ch. 39

No, she didn't, you're right.

The chapter starts with Yuu laying in bed while Rei's having a long phone call in the next room and the murmur is keeping her awake - or rather, that's her excuse for not being able to sleep. Yuu assumes that she's on the phone with Hiro, but I'm not convinced. Touko's not a bad judge of character, so she might have figured that she could entrust herself to Rei. It's a stretch, but isn't that what fan theories are for?

Ahh... I was so focused on the images I didn't pay attention to the text.
Thanks.
It's highly unlikely, but not impossible.

If it's not confirmed or denied it's totally gonna be my headcanon.

With all due respect, Zormau, your posts are reasoned and articulate—and often rather delusional.

Chapter 39 is prior to Yuu and Touko’s reconciliation. It is beyond unlikely that Touko would consult Rei before meeting Yuu in those circumstances.

Then in Chapter 42, Rei sees Yuu run off to meet Touko and thinks, “Lately she’s gone from being down in the dumps to walking on air. Busy girl.” Alternate translation: “Her mood has been up and down lately.” Clearly indicating that Rei doesn’t know what is affecting Yuu’s mood.

And Japanese has an excellent way of communicating the nuances of naming and familiarity, one that does not require inventing a nickname: honorifics. Sayaka, for instance, calling Yuu “Koito-san” is not the same as calling her “Koito.”

Translate, of course, in any way that makes your feelings tingle. Be not surprised when others remain markedly un-tingled, however.

Hehe, no argument there, especially in this case.

I had forgotten that one, thanks for the reminder. Yeah, that blows my theory, fun as it was, out of the water.

While you're right, I think it's a pretty decent compromise between flow and authenticity. Everyone will draw their line somewhere else. I also think nuances between, for example, Sayaka calling Yuu "Koito" instead of "Koito-San" can be well enough expressed through tone.

I think a small part of my aversion to honorifics probably stems from how much of a meme they've often become in English. It might be a worthwhile endeavour to try and take them back from the "notice me senpai" crowd and use them for more earnest experiences again, but I don't think that's my battle to fight.

Nothing's gonna work as well for everyone, yeah.

Now that is how you end a romance series!

Been following this series for so long now, this made me happy, we finally got an ecchi scene

For those who were looking forward to EN home release, Sentai just announced regular and limited edition BDs scheduled for December: https://twitter.com/SentaiFilmworks/status/1174036772415844352?s=20

First: dope.

But second: The moment I saw a new post in this thread, I became excited for the last chapter. Not enough to be counted as hype, but should get to hype-levels of excitement within several days.

Rei's Recipe Card

Did they just put the cheescake recipe in the bundle ?

What a crazy move. Now all the fans can capture Yuu with ease! How could they give us such an overpowered weapon?

That timing is pretty convenient, about a week before the final chapter...

Also kinda makes me even more hopeful that we'll get a second season.

Wonder if we'll get home video audio on hidive, if they redid any of it. They have updated the available streaming audio in the past I think.

Also yay, Golden Time dub.

Volume 1 is finally out in France, and man the art comes off so much better in a paper volume. I almost rediscovered the early chapters…

Doesn't seem to be any translation fumbles either, although said translation feels a little flat on some parts. Nothing that ruins the experience though.
