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.

The first chapter split in half we got happened because of a hard drive failure that made her lose what she had drawn of it and she didn't have enough time to redo it entirely, maybe she found out she prefers this format? Also consider that since then, there hasn't been a break yet and next month we're getting a chapter for the six month in a row while before she'd take a break usually every four months, so this might be a better way for her to manage her workload. That said, I do also prefer longer chapters, once they're all published in volume format it doesn't really matter but for the monthly reading experience they're definitely more satisfying. Though it's a pain having to wait two months at times.

Yeah, I was mostly thinking that because of that hard drive failure, she’s a month behind on everything, but instead of taking a break, she did the same chapter 1.5 times in a month, which got her stuck behind. I’m sure the half chapters allow her to skip breaks so she can catch up again without over working herself. We will see at the end of this volume for sure whether she is trying to go back to longer chapters (I agree that consistently pumping out 40-50 page chapters is hard to do after falling behind, so she either has to cover half of a chapter, or shorten the content to put something out each month.)

Sleepoverrr

I haven't started reading this,because that subtext tag is scaring me away.

Do any of the main characters have feelings for the other ? I don't mind slow burns ,hell, I read the LNs of Adachi and Shimamura and those were sloooow,but burned consistently and I don't want to read a manga where the characters act gay as hell but never confirm anything, I have been disappointed too much already.

Nothing is confirmed and the subtext tag is for real. The author has explicitly said she does not want to label this work as yuri, although she doesn't mind people thinking of it that way. To be clear, the author is also not trying to lead the readers on, this is just the story she wants to tell. It does get pretty gay at times, but if you're looking for explicit yuri this is not it. It is a story more about the relationship between two girls and the nature of the loneliness they share.

Yeah, I suggest you keep waiting on this one, I'd say it's not impossible for it to become more overtly romantic by the end but so far you'd probably just feel frustrated if you're going in with those expectations.

On the one hand the characters actions don't make any sense if you don't read it as romantic attraction between the two girls. Including the way the parents react to their relationship.

On the other hand the manga seems absolutely determined not to acknowledge the entire herd of elephants currently trampling through the room, so ???

Just you wait for the next chapter where they'll sleep together while holding hands with interlocking fingers in a completely platonic way.

this manga is crap it's full of drama garbage

Not sure if bait...

i’ve decided to drop this manga, it’s painful to read + other people are saying it’s not even yuri which doesn’t even make sense, cause how tf you gon tell me this is about “friendship” no it’s gay asf and that’s my interpretation from reading up until now, kind of a disappointment since people were telling me this was a yuri manga. This whole situation reminds me of hibike euphonium, wasted yuri potential. + This is just plain bait don’t read this if you want the yuri i predict that they’re just gonna remain freinds, i saw another comment which was so funny to me saying that they predict in the next chapter they’re gonna sleep together and hold hands AJHAHAH i can’t-, anyways fuck everybody and i’m gonna jump off a cliff now
