Would you be okay with it if the series ended with no explicit yuri but then the author made one of those "official" doujins that has it?

Holy fuck! I can't believe we actually got it published here! And they even labeled it as shoujo ai. I know, I know. We apparently still use it.

Of course! so long as they look happy at the end of the manga, the author can show just single illustrations later with more intimate implications and I would be fine with just that.

But the ending it's gonna be Koyuki, I ... I'm actually unzips flesh costume a lizard kind.

As for the club's importance, apparently in real life the school the one in the manga is based off of has the only aquarium club in the region, and in the manga it's treated as a local attraction. It's definitely not a common sight in a high school. Ironically the manga has become an ambassador for the real-life town it's set in and last year they organized a tour with various cross-promotion, so it probably ended up making the real aquarium club more famous.

That's not ironic at all. It's just normal consequence of what is effectively location advertisement. There's surprising amount of manga and anime tourists... Well, at least when there's not a pandemic rolling all over the place.

Imo, I'm really liking how the story is progressing. The interactions that lead up to moving forward feel more natural with the involvement of other characters, especially the parents. I've seen too many mangas where the parents just... aren't there at all and practically nonexistent. But that's just how anime works I guess. Really nice development and work in this manga though.

I love Konatsu here. That's a healthy mindset.

Come for the girlship, stay for the great dads.

Well she’s accepting her loneliness I guess I should accept mine lmao

That ending page was beautiful, looking at her loneliness with readiness and smile to face it head on, all I gotta say is you go girl.

i ordered yuri why am i suddenly thirsting for their HOT AND THOUGHTFUL DADS

From Hachimitsu Scans: "I read somewhere that Hagino had lost the data for ch. 27 while she was working on it, so she had to do it over (I think someone said she mentioned it in one of her YouTube videos), but she didn’t have enough time to finish 27 entirely, so it was split in 2, but since it was going to be one chapter anyway, the volume will just combine the two into one, and end volume 7 with chapter 28."

Explains why there was no chapter in March despite a break not being planned and why 27 was split. Poor Hagino-sensei, that must've sucked.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I just recently noticed that Konatsu's father is still wearing his wedding ring, so it can be assumed that Konatsu's mother is dead rather than divorced.

Most likely, although another explanation might be if they're divorced and he's not over it.

Beats me. I was annoyed that the dads were taking up all the screentime that should have been spent on HOT GIRL ON GIRL ACTION. :P

I keep wanting to ship the dads and then feeling bad because I forgot that Koyuki's mom is still right there and has had multiple good scenes and everything.

This stuff got licensed in Poland. Huh.

How funny would it be if the dad's just like
"Hey... By the way, you know our girls are super gay for each other, right?"
"Oh, yeah, totally, how could you not They're mega-gay."

...And then we just go back to normal friend ship for another 10 chapters.

Where's the gay

I keep wanting to ship the dads and then feeling bad because I forgot that Koyuki's mom is still right there and has had multiple good scenes and everything.

I mean, I ship Izuku and Bakugou's moms despite them being married to men, so. lol

Dawwww. I love stories where characters face their demons (cute innocent salamanders) and come to accept them.

Since this chapter sets up Konatsu being without Koyuki in her third year of high school, I hope it doesn't get skimmed over or outright skipped because there's potential there. Both with Konatsu's point of view where she takes over the aquarium club and has to live up to Koyuki's legacy, and from Koyuki's where she tries to get used to her new life in Tokyo. And then they could meet a few times throughout the year before reuniting for good at the end with Konatsu also going back to Tokyo.

^That sounds great, but if thwy do go in detail with that, that just means there may be even more chapters of them separated so I hope we can have a good handful of chapters of them together before that ;w;

Yeah, same. Like, come on, let them go on a cute non-explicitly-romantic-but-totally-romantic Christmas date.

I'd really like to see them go to the next Summer Festival and have it go better, myself. No overzealous dads trying to crash the party, no misunderstanding when Konatsu tries to ask Koyuki about their feelings.

I couldn't remember if summer had already passed but yeah, I guess it hasn't so that could still happen too. They go up a school year in chapter 24 and since then Konatsu took some time off from the club, but they didn't say anything about summer break so it should be coming up soon in the story. Maybe it'll happen.

Think if it ended on this chapter, that would be the lamest ending ever.

This manga really devolved through time into a weird touchy, feely depression story. Odd. It started off super yuri.

The two girls fit together so well and yet...they don't hang out anymore because no reason, they just get super depressed on their own. It's weird the different directions this has taken simply to avoid being yuri at all.

If they're just friends and say goodbye and then say hello in Tokyo then fuck, I'm gonna' cry. It would be the perfect bad ending of a girls' friendship but not friendship manga. Two girls isolated on their own but still friends because they're in yuri jail, manga.

Maybe they were afraid of being gay? Super scary.

Everything was undoubtedly pointing that way initially. Maybe author had to go in another direction once they knew it was getting publication? Depression/loneliness manga is way more accessible. A lot of people really hate gay manga.

It just doesn't feel like a true expression of the mangaka's will anymore. This story is screaming for beautiful girls' love. How do you explain how this or that girl suddenly just decided to stop hanging out at all? It's inexplicable. It's felt unnatural for a while.

There was no reason they had to stop hanging out unless...editor didn't like it. But that's just my suspicion I guess. Maybe the author really wanted to go that way? It makes no sense to me since their depression didn't have a cause.

But gay lady love has a cause, and that's cuz smelly girls are lovely.
