Oh yeah, i kinda lost notion of time in the manga.

Maybe the yuri will be between their daughters 25 years into the future

LMAO that cracked me up way harder than it should have

No Dengeki Maoh this month, but at least here's the cover of volume 6.

The fliers will be ruined underwater :'(
I found nemo

Okay so this has returned but... should I start reading it again? My recollection was that it was mostly subtext, and also whenever it last updated I tried reading it and just could not follow the story or the actors anymore. What do people think?

Are we finally getting out of the angsty tarpit?

Mom: “Compares her relationship with her husband to Koyuki’s relationship to Konatsu.”

But in a no romo way. This isn’t a romance, nope, no sirree bob.

Seriously, if this is all gonna end in one big no homo, I wish the artist would just get it over with and break my little gay heart.

I believe in Koyuki.

This has reached Citrus levels of dumb non-communication and I want to grab these kids by the shoulders and shake them while screaming "Talk to her damn you!". Hopefully we get some resolution next month.

This is like a romance with the language tweaked just enough that they have plausible deniability. Itd be one thing if this was produced 20 years ago...but why do they need to dance around the "LOVE" word now?

Good parenting in manga is somewhat rare and refreshing to see. Although Koyuki's dad confiscating her phone after she apparently checked it once in her entire school career seems a little too strict, I can't imagine how many times I would've got in trouble if it was a thing at my high school.

^^ Come on, nothing compares to Citrus, especially since Yuzu was meant to be very extroverted and yet there were still times she'd bottle up due to Mei giving her mixed signals, plus all the times where other characters just happened to make things more difficult for them.

Isn't this the one where the author said they didn't consider it romance or something? So like, that's why, because the author is a bit of a coward.

Sorry—at least these two aren’t failing to communicate while sleeping in the same freaking bed.

That’s some world-class dumbshittery right there.

Sounds like Koyuki will finally confess her friendship next chapter.

At least she’s ‘fessed up to her friendship virginity in this chapter.

Yet.

I can't remember the exact quote, but I'm pretty sure it was something like she didn't consider it GL at the time (of the interview) and was just gonna let the story flow how she thinks it naturally would.

Omg for the first 10 pages my absolute true feelings were FUCK THIS SHIIIIITTTTT because come on it was dragging this too far, but there's hope, why ? because Koyuki is a wonderful person with wonderful parents and she's the best and she's gonna confess how much she adores her not a lizard and we're all going to be happy.......................right? I mean, damn I hope! I'm serious, my heart can't deal with this drama anymore... enough please, just make up.

And then someone overreacted here as if she did the Amanchu move and then the mood was ruined for months... Because they couldn't enjoy the story progressing naturally.

She was asked if she considers this story to be yuri and she replied she doesn't because she doesn't want to give it an established label that would color people's interpretation, more or less. 'Let the story speak for itself'.

I really wanna believe this could have a non no homo ahaha we only feel warmly towards eachother as bestfriends ending, especially with that second to last page, the mom comparing the relationships, ect. But it most likely won't, guess my gayass heart is going down with this ship.

This isn't even the first time Koyuki's situation is compared to an explicitly romantic one, back at the summer festival when Fuyuki didn't know how to answer to a girl from his class who asked him what he thought of her, Koyuki empathized because she was mulling over Konatsu's question about why Koyuki approached her on her first day at school.

At least as I thought it needed that clash for koyuki to wake up...
Contrary to some it was obvious that the person who was behaving selfishly lately was koyuki.
Konatsu did everything to help her, to get her out of her loneliness and normal that she takes it badly afterwards, finally all her efforts turn against her with koyuki who goes out with friends, kaede behind her back, doesn't ask to go out anymore and especially doesn't notice that konatsu isn't doing well and doesn't reassure her...
Moreover koyuki explains it well at the end that she made no effort to know how konatsu felt just taking advantage of what she gave him.
Nice evolution of the mother too who gave an excellent advice to her daughter.
Now be careful, nothing is won, we'll have to see if konatsu hasn't closed herself too much and reject koyuki but there's little chance, the two of them will FINALLY be able to say what they feel for each other.
Anyway, their relationship is still much more advanced than a classic friendship, I can't wait to see where it will lead us later.
Finally do not forget the kid who will enter the club, it seems to me that we see him stealthily several times in the manga in the background ...

"Now it's my turn." Truly the roles of frog and salamander have now switched!

And I really enjoy this well written slow burn drama. And wow understanding and supporting parents in manga are so rare, normally they almost inexistent.

Cant wait for their friendship to go back to normal again!
