Wow. Shou really spiced it up this chapter. Those pigtails and that hold. Hahahahaha. I guess what you guys said is really coming true. Shou's running out of stretches! And I didn't even think that was possible...

This is not stretching.

Son, i am disappoint.

Keiko is right. Ran is friggin adorable.

Masterfully done. It's really impressive how Shou is able to depict the light-hearted interactions so common previously while managing to show that their relationship has unmistakeably changed. And it's nice to see that Keiko is behaving in a way that implies an acknowledgement of Ran's feelings rather than seeming like nothing happened, which I was half-expecting. But man, Ran isn't trying to hide her feelings at all any more, is she? XD
And that hand-holding! A yuri end is in sight~

were almost there. I can feel the yuri coming

Nooooooooooo, the cake ! ; ;

I finally read the whole chapter. Why are they heading home immediately after play wrestling?

When Keiko and Ran were playing around in the snow and having the time of their life, it was a "normal" couple who patronized them.

Freaking Shou.

These translations are impressively quick...

Actually, the translation makes them come off as being worse than they seem to be; the original dialogue has the girl replying with 'it's embarrassing, silly', so it feels more like Ran and Keiko are just doing what other couples wish they could do.

And lol only a kiss... Going a bit fast for something which wasn't even confirmed yuri, don't you think? Though of course that would make a great Christmas present! ^^

Higashiyama Shou you!!!... You genius...

Stop echoing my thoughts.

To play more wrestling in private?

Pantie's flash all over the place, but they're still not kissing?

For all we know, they could be kissing in more private and intimate conditions. They just met each other after work and Keiko's not too thrilled with Ran's outfit.

To play more wrestling in private?

What?

To play more wrestling in private?

What?

Where they won't be hindered by public perception... as well as perhaps the weight of clothing.

It seems like they're getting somewhere. I don't know if they really are.

The transition from subtext to yuri was subtle but well done, i approve, i fucking love this manga

I wonder if this is going to be an implied relationship where we never really get to see the kissing/physical/whatevs just the day-to-day relationship a la Haruka & Michiru (BSSM).

gooodddd wjwkkekskd ;;

When I read the 'scissor' part, I mentally fell off my chair!!! XDD But no matter what you say, to me they look like dating already!!! Now all that's left is for Shou sensei to drive the 'yuri' path and not make a U turn..

IT ISN'T EVEN SUBTLE ANYMORE!!!

Ahh. That makes sense.

Still, it amounts to the same. The "non-normal" couple being more honest and open than the "normal" one.

What a sweet couple.

Ugh... I somehow have a really bad feeling about it now... I understand why Ran would want to be the mediator between Keiko and her mum, but she really plays with fire here, in my opinion. Keiko isn't even resolved about her relationship with Ran yet. So pressing Keiko with two relationships at the same time - this might really turn out painful to read... Ran should stabilize her relationship with senpai first, and only afterwards try to deal with Keiko's mum. I mean we should see the couple kiss, and we should see Keiko being physically aroused by that. Up till now she was clearly happy mentally to have Ran by her side, but being comfortable of being next to each other, even physically, doesn't mean the desire for sex. And no, that boobplay on the Christmas party was not enough of a proof!

The panties service starts getting really annoying if it's clearly only done for the readers. It should be the service for Keiko in the first hand! Yet Ran is such a cutie, HNNNG... and a gothic lolita cosplay with pigtails... oh my... Ah Keiko, Keiko! How could you not kiss her lying so defencelessly in the snow? How could you not hug her tightly when she felt cold? Keiko's really... really ultrashy and embarrassed about Ran... So just a handhold for now... Agh, I really-really hope that it's just my cold that makes me pessimistic and a bit depressive today. I really secretly hoped for a kiss this chapter, to be honest. Even if another side's asleep, even if on a cheek or in the forehead... But apparently I'm asking for too much.

And no more stretches! Hope it's not a foreshadowing of a broken relationship...
