I swear this manga had the subtext tag when I first saw it. Did that recently change, or am I thinking of a different manga?

It was a recent change. I was wondering if I just went crazy, but if both of us remember it being subtext for a while...

That said, it started out with the yuri tag, then became subtext dozens of chapters in, then yuri again recently, iirc. The tag being changed to subtext is why I took a break to see if it'd change back later xD

I really hope Prof. "messed up" or is just kidding and the medicine is not permanently. otherwise this would turn this really great manga into bullshit right at the end....

So, you are here to prove Yuki point, that she was interesting only because she was Catulus, and not for who she actually is.

While I do understand your point of view, I have to disagree. Since Yuki is a congenital catulus, being a catulus is who she really is. All of her friends have only known her as an catulus - and are mostly catulus themselves. So in my opinion by taking the medicine, Yuki no only changes into a person she never was in the first place, she also assumes that all (other) catulus in general are only interesting because they are catulus. Thus implying somewhat, that "normal" humans are better.

Denying a part of your own personality just to fit in with the others is bullshit. And to be fair: the story sets off because Yuki is a catulus. She is insecure, turns into a cat and Ayano has to deliver her clothes back to her thus hitting it off with each other. And I believe that's what Ayano was saying: If she wasn't a catulus - which Ayano has known before - they would be normal classmates and maybe have had a slower start.

While my kneejerk response to your original post was rather negative, I do agree that I'm not a fan of this development should the medicine have a permanent effect on Yuki.

What Yuki did is essentially throwing away what makes her special in hopes of seeing whether her relationship with Ayano is genuine, or was it merely one of the effects of her being a catulus. Kind of goes to show how much Yuki is willing to give up there, but yes, being a Catulus is an inextricable part of who she is. Yuki turning back into a Catulus would actually be the perfect scenario: she gets to see whether their relationship is genuine, Ayano gets to see how far Yuki is willing to go for her, and Yuki does not need to become someone she is not. Could also help her get over her insecurity, which ch.98 is kind of hinting at, I feel.

Me reading chapter 97 *dies of cute girl syndrome

What ifs really are tricky, gotta live in the present :0

Ch 99
Coincidences. . .
The pill, Was it ever the only way to know for sure?
Couldn't they have talked before?
I guess what's done, is done. . .
and Yuki now knows the answer, and will need to live with that.
. . .
Why must it end at chapter 100 ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡

One more for the end people! man...im going to miss this.

this final "arc" reminds me to that chapter from nettaigyo wa yuki where konatsu wannted to know why koyuki talked to her when they meet and it turned out to be a coincidence and konatsu was really hurt because she want it to be something special,
i love nettaigyo but i think nekotaro made a better job solving the issue

Maybe the author has OCD? ;p

I dropped this when they introduced a bunch of new cats and maid stuff, but I saw the 99 and had to check what the deal was, I'm amazed that we went all the way to 100 chapters but no anime announced! (or did I miss it?)

And I can get the gist of it, of the ending... I guess... it's appropriate? I just hope she really did want to turn full human because she feels better that way and not just to see if the protagonist will still love her. But don't mind me, I missed too many things so my doubts are no worth discussing

I’m betting money that the pill isn’t really permanent and that she’ll probably go back to being a Catulus cuz the Sensei is so sus that I don’t trust that she’d make permanent reverse potion lol

prof kinda sus

Yeah, that pint-sized archtroll would hardly make a transformative that wouldn't wear off at the most inconvenient moment possible.

I feel like the pill is gonna wear off and Yuki will return back to cat not because the pill was a bunch of shit but because and correct me if im wrong but Yuki was a catulus since she was born instead of getting it later on in her life like the others so if we’re treating it like a disease then its pretty much incurable for her or something like that

Am I the only one hoping we get some like Shrek moment? Where Yuki gets to choose if she stays in that form or not? Or better yet, they finally kiss and she turns back into a Catalus?

Honestly though, I think they’ll stay friends. Only scissorship we gonna get are from Kozue and Mimika. Though I pray to Lady Gaga this isn’t so!!!!

And also, it’s really sad because this doesn’t seem like it was axed? Just probably the author wanting to move onto other works... of course that’s just my assumption. It just sucks because, while I thought they were cute, a lot of the story was wasted on the introduction/inclusion of the other Catulus. I honestly think the addition should have stopped at Anna and Maron since they’re the ones that actually got nice arcs.

I miss her heterochromia alreadyy

It is been quite a ride, I really liked this manga so I am a little sad that it ended I wanted for Yuki and Riko to have a deeper relationship, I really hope for a sequel in the future.

I can already picture arguments about whether it's romantic or platonic coming up, Futaribeya style.

wow i can’t believe it’s over, i really liked this series although this ending felt kinda weak imo :( it’s not like it was bad or anything, i can imagine tons of ways it could have ended much worse, but the new girl at the end, kinda had me expecting more. i’m sure the extra chapters coming up might remedy this though with a little more elaboration on their relationship, and the new girl working there. also, while i generally don’t tend to agree with the “interpret their relationship on your own” angle, i actually think it works here. it’s clear that catalus(catali?) tend to be pretty gay, and the stuff about yuki not knowing what their relationship is works imo. it actually feels like yuki genuinely doesn’t know what their relationship is, but considering the fact that there’s confirmation of an actual couple present, it seems pretty likely that her feelings are romantic, and it’s not just nekotarou choosing to keep the yuri aspects of this story ambiguous or something like that. well, i’m gonna miss this series but i’ll def end up rereading it a few times, and i’m really excited for the extras!

I really loved this series (best parts outside of yuri were the Modern Warfare sections which were hilarious) but I can't help but feel the main couples ending was more of a whimper compared to the side duo. It's comfy and in-character, no doubt, but really really "safe" and honestly I hate to say this, boring. I mean cmon not even a kiss? After all the romantic atmosphere that they've managed to keep between themselves throughout the series?

Again love love love the series but this ending is so unsatisfying imo.

So much romantic tension between Yuki and Riko but this end. Well, hope the extras deliver better if any, maybe I'll skim the raws for anything resembling a nice hot relationship

Eh, pretty typical sorta non-committal and unsatisfying ending for a series such as this. And the annoying chibi had to appear again to bring it down another notch. Oh well, hopefully the extras are nice.

There better be a Kitty extra to make up for best catulus being left out of the ending.

i really really hope this one gets the sougou tovarisch treatment with some chapters of riko and yuuki together, hell i´d die for a confession chapter, despite everything this is one has become one of my favorites it was really fun and cute. I don´t really like stuff like a room for two or hana ni arashi but i have to admit that this one really got me
