Wait is this story actually trying to get back the [[yuri]] tag? Because Ayano seems super serious and if they don't make a joke of it, it could definitely be a thing.

Plus I've been shipping it since forever soo

Geeze, I didn't realize Ayano had fallen for Yuki quite so hard yet.

It's ironic how much she puts Yuki on a pedestal, when Yuki herself suffers from crushing self-esteem issues and thinks Ayano is way out of her league.

I think so too! But that conversation with the sensei did crush my dreams a little. Sensei started talking about friends this friends that and Ayano just went along.

Ayano is the BEST character in this manga and you CAN'T convince me otherwise. Her different "confession"-scenarios absolutely killed me lol.

Not related but the fact that the special chapter pop before the recent chapter is trnage in term of timeline. I suposs it's a special non canon chapter but still.

Dang. I wish for confessions of love from Ayano and Yuki but most likely just going to get ‘deepening of friendship’ speech... at this rate the extras are going to get with each other before Ayano and Yuki confess or even before Kozue and Mimika kiss.

I hope Ayano can show Yuki and prove to her mother in law that she loves Yuki no matter what!

Slightly comedic version of smothering mother that locks the kid away to save from harm.

Now we know why Yuki is so shy and insecure, her mother overprotective behavior.

Uh, no, we've had ample enough flashbacks of the kind of unwelcome attention from strangers it's mainly rooted in. But her mother's intense and formidable personality is unlikely to have much helped - it's only too easy to picture how a kid as timid as Yuki would have been unintentionally overwhelmed by such a parent.

Also bit of a chicken and egg thing as there's certainly no shortage of objectively valid reasons to worry about the kid, only compounded by the mother's frequent extended absences due to work and their awkward relationship creating a serious communications barrier. Case in point Yuki's been working at Nekotamari for, what, half a year plus without apparently bothering to notify her mother of it even as a courtesy - I reckon a parent doesn't need Ms. Shirakabe's mercurial temperament to kind of start bouncing off walls over something like that. (TBF she's probably unusually agitated atm due to both having been left out of the loop about a fairly important developement and being worried sick.)

It also reads like pretty textbook teenage chafing for independence and rebelling against parent figures. ie. part of growing up. I'll be rather surprised if this isn't primarily a character growth arc for Yuki as the family grapples with the various anxieties and personality clashes involved.

Rather, I get the sense that her mother's overprotectiveness is because Yuki has been so traumatized by her condition.

That, too - it's not hard to see how and why she seems to have turned out a bit neurotically (and probably suffocatingly) overprotective. There's hints of it in their conversation too ("then I can't protect you" etc.).

The best intentions behind it doesn't make it any less problematic for Yuki's personal developement ofc but that sort of thing happens a lot between parents and children.

On an entirely different note Yuki seems to take a lot after her mother physically (even their eyelashes look similar) - pretty face and flat as a board :v

So the overprotective parent figure is once again used as a plot device? Even if it was way back in chapter 12 it is still a bit disappointing.

At the beginning of this chapter I was thinking, "Oh well here comes the drawn-out angst arc."
But then, something that never happens in slowburn stories happened: they talked to each other about how they feel.
Remember kids, open communication is the leading preventer of angst.

Is this... actual communication between characters? I thought that was illegal in manga.
