Is it just me or has the quality of this manga gone down? The art, Paneling, something just seems off

I think so, too. Maybe it's because the author has another series to draw now.
Ganbare, author-san. The art is still pretty great in my opinion and the story telling maintain its great flow. 10/10 again.

On the ace topic I would like people to keep in mind she could also just be deeply repressed. A lot of lesbians (myself included) struggle(d) sexually and often considered ourselves possibly asexual or ambivalent to sexual things because we have little to no framework about sexuality and the lesbian experience outside of pornography that's made to titillate men and isn't anywhere near our experiences in reality.

It seems likely repression, self-loathing, and maybe even some internalized homophobia are all things Hinako is sorting through. Her reactions to dating at the beginning of the story were portrayed as so extreme as to be aversion rather than simple disinterest. But since then, she's calmed down a lot and is pretty obviously feeling something more than just friendship for Asahi, and wants to spend all or most of her free time with her. Even so, she's still not sure if she wants to kiss Asahi or do other things with her, and it's not like she's avoiding thinking about it, seeing how she talked to a near-stranger about it (also, ouch, sorry Fuuka). She genuinely doesn't seem to know what she wants. Compare her to Shimizu in Still Sick, who wasn't interested in physical intimacy until the first time she gets up close and personal with another woman.

I'm guessing we're going to find out what Hinako's actual deal is very soon (woo! sleepover! I don't think Asahi's intentions in "running away" to Hinako's place were entirely pure!), but based on what the story has shown, it seems equally likely to me that Hinako is ace, demi, or working through a wicked comp het hangover.

To be honest i was really hyped that the amazon of my country have certain selection of yuri series licensed from Seven Seas (i already bought "Our teachers are dating" Vol. 1 and 2 but i have to wait more for the second one tho) and more because this one is in that selection...the sad part is that i have wait for 23° and three more days (to be delivered) of this month to get one
Pd. HInako.go for it girl
Fuuka, sorry but you already lose this one jsjsjs

I guess I get where she's coming from, but I did not like Subaru's behavior this chapter, obviously characters are allowed to act out, but the manga seems to be portraying her as correct in some way, but she's just not this time.

I don't know, I do think Subaru is right that it kind of sucks ass for Asahi to use making sacrifices for her as an excuse to just not care about herself at all and make no effort towards her own happiness and dump the burden of feeling responsible for that onto a kid. Everything Asahi does revolves around Subaru and she's staked her entire identity on that and it must be a source of pretty major guilt that she's the reason her sister refuses to have anything for herself.

Wth? Never? And why is that? Licensing a manga will only create many opportunities to a manga creator and will also make it more available to many people. There are more pros than cons. Smh.

I bet you also think piracy is theft and torrenting is unethical, and that we should "support studios creators and artists" by consooming.
Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to be such an as*hole, but go ahead and keep consooming.

Also, at risk of being banned (again), why is dynasty such a pus*y? I come here since is one the bests sources for yuri manga, but theres a lot of other sites that dgaf about licensed content. This also applies to other issues like loli manga. I mean, there's certain loli manga that hasn't been updated here for some reason but in other site there are like 10 new chapters now.

Wow, what a lovely way to start a Saturday morning! Thank you so much for this dear TLs!
And a sleepover in the next chapter!!!

Interesting, I personally find it quite the opposite - really like the last couple of chapters. What I mean is, perhaps you're right about it having less art, but I also feel like there's more to the story and the dialogue. When I read the chapter for the first time, I'm always very hyped about it, so I always feel that it's going to end soon, and of course I don't want that to happen. Then I notice that, say, I've actually only read half of the chapter. So it makes me happy - it's almost like the chapter has packed two chapters in it. It's a very satisfying feeling. So despite it being less "colourful", in my opinion the quality of manga has increased. Typically by the end of the chapter I feel very content with it.

On the ace topic...

I don't know much about asexuality tbh. The way I understand Hinako is that she really wants to have a physical contact with her beloved one. But she's afraid this would disgust the other party. She's projecting her own feelings from her dates with men to Asahi. So she's afraid Asahi would leave if she becomes too touchy. Like what happened in chapter 8.
Also, recalling how vividly she imagines Asahi's body, her slender wrist and small lips, I find it superhard to believe that Hinako's ace. I feel that Hinako's actually quite the opposite, practically a maniac, once she's allowed to))))

And with Asahi it's gonna be super-challenging for sure. On the other hand, the sleepover's incoming! I think Asahi really deserves a massage after that stressful evening...

Because nobody put a request forthe chapter or the team don't want to be posted here ? Or the translation is bad. Every site has her own policy about licensing. If Dynasty don't want to have licensed content then they have the right to do so and spoiler there is some licensed content that are still uploaded. This one for example.

Sure, but the way she specifically used college as a way to make this point is incredibly dumb and childish. I'd hardly call it some unusual sacrifice for her to want her younger sister to go to college, that's normal.

It's not actually about college, paying for college is just the only sacrifice she can actually stop Asahi from making to make her point. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she rescinded her refusal as soon as Asahi started making herself a priority.

The end credits note to support via buying the volumes reminded me that this series will soon be available in English published by Seven Seas: https://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/doughnuts-under-a-crescent-moon-vol-1/ so if you can't/don't want to buy the japanese version there are going to be other options!

I think the fact that it's college is important, and part of why this is the last straw for her. Subaru's graduation from high school is the first real chance she has to free Asahi from looking after her, and thus free herself from her guilt for dominating her sister's life. Going to university full time is committing to spending four more years as a dependent. And I think letting Asahi support her while she goes to college would really intensify her guilt, because then she'd be enjoying a privilege that Asahi herself had to give up.

It's still dumb to leverage your own future like that to make a point.

Recent research has uncovered an interesting fact. Sometimes human beings act irrationally because of this phenomenon known as "emotion".
