All. Those. Sparkles.

I will now forever see Hana as a kappa.

Butt cookies.

That lodge actually looks quite nice.

And the company looks even better. :D

I think they have actually improved quite a bit. Kase was able to notice what Yamada was feeling and addressed it, and Yamada was able to relax and let that shit go. Also, if I was in Yamada's shoes I would have been a bit jealous as well. I mean there was a bunch of girls literally hanging on to and pressing against Kase.

I love that the jealousy reversal and how that Kase recognizes it too

All fluff, no drama since it’s resolved in same chapter—reading this is like eating cotton candy without worrying about cavities nor calories. How that for synesthesia?

That high pressure sales pitch was funny. Many high schoolers aren’t prepared for such stuff like that.

Hey, Yamada didn't cry this time! That's progress.

This has been a complete mess since Hiromi-sensei decided to depict their college life, would be the sweetest of sweets if she ended the manga upon their high school graduation, but for whatever reason (maybe because she doesn't know how to finish the story) went this route, and she still clearly trying to figure this thing out as she goes, also these characters sprouting out of nowhere goes to show the complete mess this series has become :(

^I don't think the fact that "this is a mess now" is at all related to their college life. Some other mangas depict college life really well. I found the first few chapters of the college life arc good.
I do agree this manga should've ended earlier. I don't know. I used to really enjoy this manga, and I have a signed copy of the first book on my shelf. It's one of the first Yuri series I ever read.

I understand miscommunication, but Kase's jealousy and her trying to dictate what her girlfriend wears, and then Yamada continuing to be infantilized to a certain degree caused my opinion of the manga to sour.
I'm still going to keep reading, though and maybe reread some of the earlier manga chapters.

Love how all the men/boys are basically nondescript.

Au contraire—boys in this series are visually almost demonic, with those big noses with horizontal lines across them.

You’re right, though—they’re pretty nugatory as human beings, though.

Firs:, I've always thought the males were depicted that way as if from our protagonist(s)'s point of view... Be it Yamada's more superficial recognition of them due to her social awkwardness or the yuri-girls being so yuri, they hardly recognize boys around them.

Second: ...although I can see how some of the chapters since college have been treading around the same (or previous) things, I still love the girls' dynamics and how they are portrait as "normal" girls, who have differing interests and educational paths, different social backgrounds and circles, trying to make things work while their horizon keeps expanding - and sometimes they stumble, since they barely had any real relationship time before this point. They love another, deeply (and sometimes obsessively), but it's a reality that they still hardly know one another.
Where many other manga end with the happy rainbows of becoming an item, with an unknown future, and critically so many obstacles still ahead of them, this continuation feels like a good change from what's basically a trope (maybe it really is one, too lazy to check). Maybe a few others have done it before, and maybe narratively they've done it "better" (or in a more eventfull and less slice-of-lifey / less fluffy manner), but personally I appreciate the low drama and gradual (albeit very slow) evolvement of the characters, their changing circumstances and their reactions, even if that means to re-hash old arguments. The latter IMO is a good depiction of (part of) a relationship in progress - because it's not uncommon, that emotions or concepts a couple has already dealt with and presumably moved on from in the past come up again in other circumstances, with new or changed viewpoints and feelings, or old ones that now have a different context. It's not big-scale drama. But it stll entertains (me) and one may or may not relate.
...yet, certainly, it would be nice if there was a little less of the re-hashing and a tad more focus on them actively trying to spend more time together (even failed attempts of such, because sometimes life can make that difficult) / get to know each another, and how they'd react to that..

It was bound to happen.

Spend too much time with Yamada, and you start making Yamada-like faces.

With the most memorable earlier instances of Kase making a "Yamada-like face", from the top of my head...
...Kase getting insta-horny over Yamada in an apron
...Kase unexpectedly hearing Yamada's voice on the phone
...tense Kase for the first time alone in Yamada's apartment, like 3 minutes before they went all oo-lala
...it just makes me wonder, what kind of birthday present came to Kase's mind there.

(yes, yes, Kase made plenty other funny/cute faces :P )

Feels like one or the other of them is constantly insecure about their relationship, & it's tiring.

It would be cool if Kase-san and Yamada both get matching ring sets to surprise each other and decide to keep one set and refund the other set to pay for first/last month’s rent and deposit on an apartment they’ll share together.

I agree about the pacing of the manga and others arguing over ending the series... which the author did end it once they graduated high school. I consider this to be “Kase-san Two” series. I’m somewhat impressed and depressed the mangaka has refrained from putting in NSFW in the manga—staying focused on the storyline is good, but now they are young adults, I’d think the readership would expect some “Adult Life” in this series.

I believe this series will be more influential as it could map out the steps for the pair needs to achieve together so they could to spend the rest of their lives together. I mean, Yamada is already learning a trade to earn a living, but Kase-san’s future still depends on her physical strength (to maintain her full ride scholarship)—and that won’t last very long into the future. Kinda foolish to post a comment like this, but that’s my two cents.

I wish Yamada and Kase would share a room it would be hot and adorable :3 but I feel like they'll be put in separate rooms and both girls will be like aww :(

Yamada's presents should be the two pillows which are attached to Kase's chest XD X3

Mad at what ? She is doing her job. She didn't have to be sorry.

...for random half-naked strangers getting all horny over Kase while she's doing her work, and her senpai (and boss in this case) enabling those customers' behaviour?
Not to mention, Kase was just about to complain about this (among many other things) to Inoue when things escalated (and Inoue quite literally selling her out).

If anything, if Yamada was more aware of herself and their issues and arguments, she could now give Kase a speech about not being able to say "no" and the troubles that gets one in... Because all Kase did or rather didn't do (yet) was to tell the girls to act more respectful to her and her actual job-description (or any polite and customer-friendly form of gtfo)..

^ just looking at Yamada in a bikini (in particular her cleavage) showed her brain was way down in the gutter, so actual physical contact might... well, kill her. Heart-attack, spontanous dehydration, sudden brain-death - take your pick. But's she'd be a happy corpse...
...it's quite honestly a miracle to me how Kase survived their first time. But chances her body mistook making out with Yamada as mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest-compressions and somehow managed to survive...

As an aside: the kids need more smexy times, so Kase can vent some steam every once in a while and not get horny-old-geezer'y everytime Yamada's neck flashes. ...here's to hoping sleeping under one roof will offer an opportunity~
