It's only in the manga the anime doesn't go that far. if you want to skip most of the the awkward parts skip to like chapter 71 the school trip arc is where it start to pick up.

Why all i want to do is be with her

Probably wondering if she smells bad

Goals

Ah, more people should learn to love Rapparu Chan.

El has some very mixed feelings about this.

^ It's impossible to understand and appreciate what comes before ch. 69 if someone doesn't read the earlier chapters. The formative subplot involving Imae Megumi has a lot of primary development in those earlier chapters, as one serious example. Also, a lot of the characters who become really important later on are introduced throughout the first part, first as background noise for Tomoko's inner socially anxious hell, then as real characters who actually developed from the start. There's no way to know what the school trip means if you don't know what she went through.

Do NOT skip the first part of the series. Just don't. In other words, don't.

^^ ThatAroAce: The agony of the really jerky and socially distraught Tomoko is a classic of horrific cringe, but nothing that comes afterward makes sense without it. Just grit your teeth and read up to the turning point at ch. 69. The anime is wonderful, and watch it, but read the manga.

The subject of this particular piece - Tomoko's relationship with her kouhai Shizuku - is absolutely dependent on her relationship with her angelic upperclassman Imae Megumi, who she gets to know in the chapters going up to ch. 69.

The yuri content all consists of the erotic currents running between teenaged girls, lesbian or not. It radiates in all directions, most of which probably won't turn into something real, but it's very natural and the mangakas are great about not baiting or yanking chains. Just read it.

Yes! UmiMaki best couple. No contest.
This is so kawaii, and that's saying something.

Awoooooooo!!

The advantages of tall(strong, level-headed, smart, cool, workout obsessed, rich) gf. And yet it's Momo who is the luckiest of all.
Ganbare Shamiko! Make her fall for your wiles until she can't help but be your "vassal"!

Honestly, that would explain why Byleth hair looks so uneven tho.

Edel is the kind of girl who would indulge her girlfriend in anything and regret it later.

^^That must be a cultural thing, cuz I never heard that one before.

There is a name, actually. Chapter 2, page 1, Shijima Tsukishima.

Very happy to see more of these two on the site lately.

ThatAroAce: the anime does contain a few scenes heavily implying that Tomoko swings both ways, but not much in actual yuri content, most of which is from later in the manga.

I could never really get on board with calling Tanya a girl, considering it's a dude inside.

This look like a photo that were taken long time ago and it didn't age well.

@MDLZ You really don't need a walkthrough for the yuri routes, it's extremely simple. The only thing you might need a walkthrough for is to go on Edelgard's story path. It's not especially complicated but it can easily be missed if you don't do everything.

Why does this make me think of selling air in tins in Spaceballs?
"Here have some preserved yuri when you run out." lol

The real challenge is managing everyone else's relationship values so you get all of the supports/paired endings you want!

Magilou would never be embarassed from this. She would be clinging to Velvet like a monkey and not let go just to annoy her.

I'm always a sucker for rivals/enemies ships. I like Yachie's expression of Gay Panic™ here.

I actually had miniscule hope for the world when Mikan showed more subtext with Yami than she did with her blood related brother.
Of course I will always be disappointed by harem shit, but there was hope... once.
