They all moved elsewhere and haven't been coming back to visit.

I suspect the reason she got the job in the first place is to save up money to see them again.

Oh yeah, that's a good idea, bring Konatsu to spend the night with Koyuki "I'm so gay I can't form full sentences when her hair is in a ponytail" Honami, not problems there.

But seriously, even if you still keep things "subtext", Koyuki is a whole mess of a lesbian, how is she gonna react to Konatsu and Kaede sleeping over?

This but she accidentally rolls over Konatsu.

Poor Fuyuki's gonna have some kind of stroke one of these days lmao

Can't fault his taste tho, Kaede is best girl OF THE YEAR o3ob

The sleepover chapter can go a lot of ways. I expect it to be VERY awkward, granted that the three of them have never hung out together, and because Honami is probably really inexperienced when it comes to these things (as she is with everything). I mostly can’t wait to see how Kaede will react to the whole dropped honorifics thing. Anyways, totally hyped for the next chapter!

Also, does anyone else notice how Fuyuki, his mom, and Kaede’s relationship kinda mirrors Honami, her dad, and Konatsu’s relationship (wing-parents ftw).

I feel like Kaede will try to give them space and leave the room at some point.

Is the next one gonna be the finale or are we getting more than 8 vols? I

There is no indication that it's going to end here.

Kaede in wingman mode again. ^_^

Meanwhile Fuyuki keeps taking damage and these two don't even notice... :D

A-A-A Sssleepover???
Koyuki, my dear...

Owari da.

I’m sure that we are going past 8. Hopefully.

Those are great points Major.

@BeanBeanKingdom thank you for the reminder about ch20!!! now we have all the context for Kaede and that helps a lot, she's been all about supporting the main characters so I'm glad she gets her own things to work with and grow too.

PLUS Sleepover! NICE is specially nice that she thought of inviting Konatsu too, truly the best friend out there.

I want Konatsu and Koyuki to cuddle

inb4 Kaede suddenly has to cancel last minute

She wouldn't do Fuyuki dirty like that. On that note, I liked how Fuyuki was able to notice that Kaede was feeling down, he won't grow up to be hopeless like his sister.

And while it was only for one page, it was nice to see Konatsu bringing the kouhais to Aoshima, I hope we get to see more of her leading the club in future chapters. She still hasn't figured out what she wants to do and that could help her.

when i saw the raw i thought this was filler
I don't know why but I think Kaede will only be there for the fireworks but she won't stay for the sleepover

^well that would be a way to get them some alone time

If it’s from her POV we’ll finally get to see what she actually thinks of them... though I’m also hoping that it doesn’t make her feel more lonely

I think Kaede has a healthier disposition than Konatsu's, if anything seeing them close would probably make her double down on her efforts to earn some money to go see her sisters. Might also explain the chapter's title.

Yeah I don't think Kaede's, like, romantically (or girlship-ly, if you prefer I guess) into Konatsu or Koyuki the way they're into each other - I don't think she'd be working so hard to ship them in that case.

Kaede is in a girlship with Yamagishi, they will spend their adulthood platonically living in the same house where they will act like regular old friends and share appliances and chores like the home economy professionals they are.

Ah, like Adachi and Shimamura

Yeah I agree with this. This chapter should give more depth to who she is and how she thinks. She really cares about the happiness of her friends, and she’s very emotionally intuitive, as we saw in earlier chapters. This chapter also made me more interested in the arc, so good job to the mangaka for that.

I will say, I hope we start getting longer chapters again soon. I know I'm spoiled by how consistently Hagino previously put out like 40-pagers all the time, but after getting used to that it's a little sad to only get half of that. Wonder if it has to do with the story trying to figure out what it wants to do with a new arc or if there's another reason Hagino's dialing it back.
