What about at the last page, Keiko said 'shut up and sleep' but she's actually blushing so she turned over?

Classic case of tsundere sickness. It's a common ailment in manga and anime.

If I didn't care, I won't blush. Even Tsundere. Don't know why it'll be different for her 8D

Maybe I've just been reading too much lesbian novels, but people this is how adult lesbian romance works. I repeat, adult yuri. We've just been way too spoiled and soiled by the YA stuff aka high school yuri

This is just how a lot of romance in general works, slow and steady but it gets there (of course this varies a lot, some romances happen very quickly but this is a very realistic depiction of a growing relationship)

Yuri? Someone who never read a yuri manga and sees this chapter would probably think: These young ladies are in love with each other, but are still a bit to shy to act on it. So yeah: yuri! Anyway they're cute, does anyone really wear pyjamas buttoned up like this?

I can't believe my eyes!!

Not only Higashiyama don't skipped St. Valentines... but gives us the most yuri charged chapter ever!?
I must be having a wonderful dream.

Ran is the cutest thing ever!! How can Keiko don't marry her right now, is something that I cannot understand.

... and the forums exploded. LOL.

Anyone notice how Keiko ate Ran's chocolate right away, even after they were flung in a mess? Is that a sign of her already accepting Ran's feelings (on a subconscious level, since it's Keiko we're talking about here)? The look of surprise on Ran's face in page 5 seems to indicate something.

not yet yuri, still hanging in "shoujo-ai" ..
Ran on offense ..go get her girl!

.....what in the hell did I just start O.o

sCREAMS BECAUSE SPOONING AND GAY SPOONING AND HONMEI CHOCOLATES AND RAN'S PANTEASE AND GAAAAAY.

Is this a summary of the last 4 pages of comments, or your own thoughts on the matter? I can't tell. They're exactly the same thing.

Both. Definitely both.

kyaaa! I'm sooooo haaaappyyyyy~~~~~~ I never thought this would happen -

They're so g-... yuri! I guess the only reason this chapter doesn't have the yuri or even subtext(WHICH IS NOT!) tag is becoz it would spoil the development.

I can totally see the future...... yuri tag. Though I didn't expect that.

Does anyone know how the Japanese readers feel about recent developments? Google translating some of the comments on the Yawa site seem as though they're taking it positively.

Later on Ran is sick it's not normal to drop things constantly, Keiko saw her only as a daughter she never had, the end....and there goes my yuri...strap under a 14 chain mess....I must breath...and think this is just subtext and move on...and accept anything coming up...anything. Must expect the worse to get the worse right...

expecting dark chapter next like the het one...

Omgod me too...

And nobody believed me back in August when I said Ran had conscious feelings for Keiko. So now wait, the bait seems to be accepted, and it's time for the drama to come! LOL

Joking aside, I think the point of the story up till now was that Keiko wanted something she couldn't have so she tried to fill the void with something else. I think that what she's been trying to replace all the time, be it with her teen sex or a child from her ex, is a parental love she's lacking so much from her mother.

This is why despite being such a hard Keiko x Ran shipper, what I'm really afraid of is that Ran might be no different for Keiko too - merely filling the void. Ran just happens to be such a cute and spoiled brat, almost like a daughter whom Keiko can take care of, educate her as in "do the chores right", etc.
In contrast, Ran appears to love Keiko in a far more erotic and sexual way. And Keiko's clearly not yet honest with her sexual desires, if she has any at all... We had a number of hints that she does like Ran in that way too, but she's not ready to accept it now, I think. And we also know her ex was someone she loved from the bottom of her heart for the first time in her life. And he still loves her, after more than 6 months of their break-up. Somehow all this reminds me the Aoi Hana plot...

Anyway, if Akili is a good writer (and I have got no indication he's not up till now), these problematic areas have to be resolved and get a proper closure. How will Keiko's mother respond to her daughter coming out as gay? Will it help to make up the two or will separate them further? How would Keiko react to the latter? Is this where Keiko will try to experiment with her sexuality and try to meet her ex? And how would Ran's family react? So much good drama ahead...

So let's enjoy Ran and Keiko being so cute together for now ^__^ Besides their one-year anniversary and the white day are approaching!

Best chapter yet... that definitely need a yuri tag, even though it would spoil the suprise.

The thing about Ran's gayness before this chapter is that she had no interest in men and she was attached to Keiko, am i the only one that thinks this is not enough to say she wants a piece of that Keiko? She could very well not feel like committing to a relationship at all
What i wanted was just one chapter, one simple chapter before this one that was being more honest with itself instead of baiting, hell, we kinda got that with Keiko admitting that Ran was probably her first love, i just wanted a little moment of Ran thinking more dearly about Keiko without it being fanservice for us readers

Well, there was 'jealousy' back in high school, there were phrases like "you're way cooler, senpai" during a mixer, there was that "doesn't matter now that I'm here" phrase in Prologue, there was intentional erotic teasing during stretching, there was that phone conversation between the two during the earthquake.
This gradually has grown in the recent chapters to an indirect kiss, indirect confession (when calling mum before the New Year) and an instant bullet train to her worried beloved one. These last two were already a very clear message to the readers that Ran's gay for Keiko. I think they count fairly well for Ran thinking dearly about Keiko without any fan service at all.
You could say it's nothing but yuri goggling. To me, however, Ran's genuine happiness for getting chocolate in return, regardless honmei or giri, said more about her feelings towards Keiko than her 'confession' in the last two pages.

OH GODDAMN IT JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY YOU DORKS

Your avatar matches your comment lol.

yes, because stretching is more exciting when there are more people involved! Why not add Saki to their happy family too btw?

oh... come to think about it, Saki x Keiko's ex could be a nice match!
