I am not currently following this series, I like the author but I don't do well with subtext and the dead husband thing..well, I did read some chapters, I just pop up in case any actual yuri happens.
Look, I love Yuri as much as the next Dynasty user, but dropping a potentially good series just because it isn't Yuri seems like a real waste.
This remains one of my favorite manga stories of any type. And, sure, all things being equal, yuri all the way, but I'm fine with anything that keeps up the thoughtfulness and nuance that this series has had since the beginning.
But I certainly do understand why other readers' yuri expectations would be pretty high, given all the flirting, mutual bathing, casual skinship, cuddling, hand-holding, boob-fondling (purely experimental, to be sure), low-key jealousy, and constant blush-sexing we've seen between the MCs, to say nothing of the smoking hot yurilicious covers and spot illustrations this one has featured all along.
Sometimes I feel like we're all in a Nagori Yu manga, and Kuzushiro is constantly cupping the readers' chin and chuckling, "Such an impatient little kitten! I never promised you yuri--or did I?" in a smokily seductive voice.
