Haruka X Kanae is what you'd get if you took a girl with Kuroki's levels of repressed horniness and hooked her up with a chick who's gayer than the entire cast of WataMote combined. This ship was kinda late out of the gate, but boy, did it gallop to the front at supersonic speeds.

Stop the presses! When did Haruka and Kanae become a couple and/or confess to each other? and if there wasn't a confession previously, was Haruka's answer a confession?

Looks like Haruka and Kanae talked to each other privately between chapter 185 and now and Kanae said she felt the same. For Madokami's sake, they're holding hands inside the school building!!!!

cups hands to mouth Gaaaaaaay.

I'm legit surprised Kanae didn't immediately get kabedon'd by Haruka. She has S-tier levels of restraint. Kanae got herself a good girlfriend~

damn, Damn, DAMN!!!...idk how it happens...but it's awesome the see the result

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for doing what you do. Anata saikou!

Looks like Haruka and Kanae talked to each other privately between chapter 185 and now and Kanae said she felt the same. For Madokami's sake, they're holding hands inside the school building!!!!

I do not think so, the way the two Harkura and Kanae are talking it is as if this is the first time since the note they have addressed this. Just both are actually feeling exactly the same at the same moment and holding hands in the couple style with finger intertwined came natural to them. Maybe not but that is how it feels to me. The Two love each other so much they were like a couple before they ever dated so the transition was nothing other then both now officially can acknowledge it.

The chapter was not quite what i was hoping for, but: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/virgins_empire_ch222#17
Kanae with the crooked lesbian smile and Haruka on the verge of tears out of happiness is just... chefs kiss

its only fitting that haruka x kanae chapter falls on the 143 page of the comments
well technicaly it started at 142 but who cares

That kiss chart is gold dust. Thank you, shadesan.

What I learned in this chapter:

Of all the potential couples in this manga, Midori x Hibiki is by far the one that will have the most trouble becoming a thing.

Heck, even Mayuyu x Mariri has better yuri dynamics.

How far Kanae as grown, from a person lookin up people skirt and wondering if they ugly or not, to having a girlfriend.

The next chapter is yumimi x nononon, according to screenshots Kishi has posted on Twitter. (https://twitter.com/kishitorajiro/status/1320038298497081344?s=20)

I just hope it won't take as long for another Haruka x Kanae chapter honestly

I sure hope this is true and we didn't miss anything, but that just makes me wonder, "what the hell was Kanae doing that entire time?" Maybe it hasn't been that long in-universe and the rate of chapter releases makes it seem longer, but damn girl.

Speaking of Twitter, looks like there'll be a Halloween special coming up: https://twitter.com/kishitorajiro/status/1316038352978673666

Fitting that it ends in 666

its only fitting that haruka x kanae chapter falls on the 143 page of the comments
well technicaly it started at 142 but who cares

Why is that?

143 is code for "I love you"; it's based on the number of letters in each word. I (1), love (4), you (3). Pretty cute coincidence hahaha
