Honestly Shiina, same. The real World is scary and I don't like it.

Some great facial expressions this chapter. I completely related to Shiina relaxing when she does the dishes and doesn't have to talk to customers anymore.

Love the KayoShii friendship. This chapter kind of sunk them as a ship with the whole sister/family thing (...or did it? I guess some people are into that), but there's so much going on already yuri-wise I don't really mind.

I love how this manga has been getting progressively gayer

It has, right?! At this point if nothing actually yuri happens by the end I can legitimately be annoyed, and not just with myself for expecting something from a Kirara manga.

The way these last few chapters have been progressing makes me wonder if it's ending soon

It's still ongoing, volume 9 comes out in December. My guess would be that there will be 10 volumes in total.

I was kinda hoping Yumine would ask Tama to be her girlfriend. I'm kinda disappointed tbh. lol

Also that chapter with Shiina's mom hit me in the feels.

There was a bit of a commotion on Twitter back when this chapter came out. The Japanese fandom is mostly on the Tamaki x Yumine side from what I've seen, so they weren't sure what to take from this development. It does look like Tamaki is falling for Kayo, doesn't it? I don't know what to think. Betting on ships is futile for this series, and it's much more enjoyable if you can just go with the flow and not fixate on one pairing. Although I sometimes fail to do that myself.

In any case, the author dropping the 4koma format for the last page seems significant.

I know nothing about this series, but after randomly clicking on chapter 80 and reading it, I'm interested.

There it is, the classic Oh No We Tripped And Fell On Top Of Each Other romantic trope. Who knows if this go will go anywhere; anything regarding yuri in this manga is a big question mark, and the pendulum of romantic teasing swings wildly back and forth, so where things will go next is anyone's guess.

I do think the author occasionally tests the waters. You can tell because sometimes he writes a scene more yuri than usual, like Matsuri asking Nono to be her girlfriend, and a few weeks later he'll share on stream that he was apprehensive but got positive reactions. I thought for a long time that the Kirara audience liked comedic yuri that never goes anywhere and not the more serious sort, but there might have been a shift in the past few years.

In any case, Teru's got issues.

It's a "cute girls making doujin games" series at its core, but it's one that does things a bit differently. It takes a short while to get going, but once it does it gets really good. If you'd like to take another look at what this manga can do before potentially reading from the start, check out chapters 73 and 74.

^ Thanks, I read those chapters. This series seems up my alley with its dialogue and characterization. I'll start reading it from the beginning sometime soon.

Certainly casts a whole new light on her previous appearances and actions. Particularly her interactions with Kayo; no wonder those two... resonate.

Darn, that first page hit too close to home for me.

Yeah, I think I need to give the flashback chapters another re-read some time. The author seems to have something in store for these two, and I'm both excited and terrified to find out. Excited because Kayo is canonically established as being in love with Teru and Teru isn't indifferent to her, so who knows? And terrified because there's no way cloba.U won't unleash a massive storm of angst before the manga ends. This bonus is alarming already. It was a huge pain in the ass to get my hands on it, so I'm glad the SNSbu guys added it to the release.

Same

like Matsuri asking Nono to be her girlfriend

Talking about that, did it ever get a followup in the series itself? Because if it did, I either skipped a chapter without noticing or don't remember. My memory is awful, after all.

The following chapter (72) was about them, but no other follow-up in the translation so far.

So, anyone knows what happened to this series? The author stopped updating, the scanlators dropped it, or the group disbanded altogether? I am not picking on anyone, just curious to know.

I think it's stuck at the translation stage. The manga is still ongoing, with 9 volumes out.

I'm sorry I don't have any better news. I'm glad there are still people waiting for new chapters. I like this series too, and I hope the translation can resume some day.

Oh, that's better news than it getting axed or dropped, so thank you. :-)

Just so you know, I still appreciate your work and am eager to read your translations. :-)

Thanks, Koveras. I wish my Japanese went above the level of "knows some grammar and can recognize some kanji and decipher the rest with a dictionary" so I could pick this up myself.

The manga ended last year with 10 volumes, and I think it did some interesting things that I didn't expect when I started reading it. It turned out to have a surprising amount of depth to its characters. If I didn't pointedly ignore all the people who dismiss Kirara manga or 4koma manga in general, I'd point them to this one as an example of what can be done with the format.

Chapter 81 is now translated on mangadex! And it's done fairly well. Don't know if the new translator is willing to post the chapter here though...
