For those wondering, last month’s extra is already translated, it’s just awaiting proof and ts. ^^

It’s centered on one of Mayuki’s buddies.

It’s in the table of contents on Dengeki’s website, so yes.

Good to see Mayuki was a lady-killer even back in middle school.

Isn't she still there?

Oh, you're completely right, I'm just dumb. For some reason I thought that was a flashback and she was already in high school, when one of the main points of the series is that she's trying to get into the same high school as Akira (and Rin).

She has that moe factor, huh. You just want to take care of her. :P

I like Sumire’s positive mindset at the end, in any case!

Mayuki from Sumire's perspective: Baby
Mayuki from Akira and Rin's perspective: Mommy
Does this make Sumire the doting grandma?

Isn't that kind of math taught in the first year of middle school, aren't they in their 3rd? Then again Sumire does state that it's an easy part.
Also, I tried to add an image if it didn't work what I'm referencing is here

Edit: I fixed it somehow yayy

It is a flashback, but only to just before the point where Rin turns up to tutor her.

For some reason I thought the other girls were new characters that Canno randomly decided to throw in in order to spice up the story (and I was going to complain about it), but no, they're already there in the first chapter. So it's all good.

Taking bets on which part of the triangle will make the first double connection. My money's on the Mayuki-Akira link giving us Mayuki<-->Akira-->Rin. Then Rin is like "are these my people?" and they all live happily ever after.

My heart hurts for them. Good job not being useless, Akira. Let's not take the wrong lessons from this!

We've got 3 chapters devoted to each segment of the triangle now, and judging from the current pace, 10 should be the part where everything (and everyone) coalesces. This series has been excellent so far, and I think the individual focus per chapter is the best possible evolution of Canno's style in A Kiss And A White Lily- rather than multiple chapters for side-couples, we get chapters to devoted to different sides of individuals, reflecting the many different faces of a relationship structure that is considerably more complex than monogamy+1.

Akira's dynamic with Rin differs completely from her dynamic with Mayuki, but the development of the latter pushes the former in new directions, creating ripples and realizations that have implications for the greater structure. It can be incredibly hard to keep track of all these changes and balance the themes of individuality and togetherness, especially since they're not based on a binary so much as a common body of thought, but Canno's elegant planning and design create the perfect flow while still never compromising on anyone's depth.

The end result is that even folks who know nothing about polyamory can understand it's unique appeal without being overwhelmed by differing perspectives and interests, because Canno gives her characters enough focus outside the relationship to cement our idea of them as people and not merely lovers. In that regard, this might be a foundational work as long as it sticks the landing, because it goes above and beyond the call of simple entertainment and actively expands our horizons, allowing us to understand and empathize with a vastly under-represented group. In short, Canno isn't just giving us a monthly dose of fluffy yuri- she might actually be doing polyamorous folks a service (at least in Japan, where this is presumably popular).
