Chalk?

Sweaty hands make it harder to hold onto the holds, so chalk is used to keep your hands dry. If you watch some climbing videos on Youtube, you’ll see it all the time.

It doesn’t really matter with beginner holds like the almost cup-like ones Tsugumi used in chapter 1 and you can also do the intermediate ones just fine without chalk, but dry hands are important for the harder holds, like the ones that are more like little bumps that no sane person would actually attempt to hold onto.

Also gets used in certain gymnastics involving bars and other activities where you don't want your hands to get slippery with sweat.

^Like discus throwing.

^ Not getting your hands sweaty can also be useful for more nerdy activities... Like translating history documentaries to one's own native language on one's own phone's notapad.

baseball pitchers use chalk bags too.

I really like the new characters. Especially how they were introduced

This chapter felt like it took a bit of a turn in the storytelling from what was planned, like the "mysterious chalk girl" from last chapter ended up just being the senpai? Also feels a bit weird for Airi to suddenly be shocked by the thought of dating Tsugu when she's been thirsty af last couple chapters.

I'm actually surprised at the amount of yuri they put in a rock climbing manga lol. None of that subtext stuff around here.

Dark skin.... Delicious dark skin...

The thought of being gay /and/ dating sent Aira into an immediate panic. Good series. Quality content

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this but ch. 3 has me hooked. looking forward to the next chapter.

First: Everyone shipping the other two club members, raise your hand. ✋
Second: About the end, as we all know, the senpai wasn't off the mark a lot. Aira and Tsugu may not be dating yet, but it's only a matter of time.

TBH, after I read that I thought gee... that was blunt. And yeah, not off the mark, just a wee bit early.

Turns out the senpai is after Aira-chan
dun dun duuuh

Well, the senpai and the dark-skinned girl looked like they were about to make out when Aira and Tsugu entered, so I'm unsure of what the two above me said.

That senpai is the true MVP of this manga, not wasting any time with that subtext nonsense and straight dropping the yuri D-bomb right away to get the ball rolling.

(Please don't take that as critique of the subtext genre, it's just not my cup of tea.)

I don't think such thing as "subtext fan" exist.

Well, I was defining subtext as a text, just told in more subtle way for years, but since I'm in incredibly small minority on that I don't really bother to go out of my way to challenge the commonly accepted definition of subtext cough yuri bait cough

You silly, two girls can't date, it's forbidden, remember?

I think the name is Oniyama Nanoko. The と at the end of the bubble means "and".

Yup.

Gay

This manga needs an anime to depict the climbing better.

But considering how fast the yuri is progressing, I wonder if it'll even have enough chapters for one.
