Clearly more proof that it's a natural reaction to try to protect them this way, though. :nods:

Paleoanthropologists call this the "hominid bikini clutch."

Offer your right cheek now LMAO

Next chapter comes out on the 7th of Nov. Hopefully will get the chapter out that week.

Totally worth it, I guess

Bullying

Cutest angry face yet

Hino just wanted experience chest pushing into back, which is perfectly understandable.

Played like a fiddle.

100% agree.

When I have energy, I'll redraw the back of her head and cut her out for a sticker/emote.

If you do, I"ll proudly make it my new avatar after so many years

That would make me kinda sad tbh...

Hino being a little possessive( in a sweet way) is all sorts of adorable , even if she was her typical lewd self in the end :-P

Eh? Why??

There's the Hino we know and love
Defense mechanism for when she's embarrassed around her maybe?

Pomf! What are we going to do on the rocks?

Cute chapter though. Of course, I had a feeling Hino had the top the whole time, but it was still cute to see their interactions and her possessiveness with that almost ikemen face. And their closeness, skin to skin like that, isn't necessarily a scene I'd seen before - Kiniku once again playing with conventional romance/ecchi tropes/scenes in a fun way, with a little twist.

The next chapter is going to start with Hino having a second slap-mark, isn't it?

Eh? Why??

Because I'm attached to it at this point lol.

I've thought this for a while now. She always panics at the end and does something silly/stupid to be able to play her crush off as a joke. "I like you, haha just kidding."

My personal theory is that Hino fell in love with another girl in the past- I recall an unknown girl appearing in one of her flashbacks in a former chapter- and something went very wrong, and made her afraid to get attached to anyone else. Hence why she always makes sure to shoot herself in the foot whenever it feels like Koguma might be coming to like her.

Hino, master in the subtle art of self-sabotage.

This is my favorite yuri so far, the tension and slow buildup is amazing, though based on previous experience with yuri manga it can still go any which way and also lose, suddenly a rando dude jumps in and runs off with Hino or Koguma and ruins the ending, or it ends with a fizzle nothing happens like in "Adachi to Shimamura". oof please continue the winning formula while still developing their relationship.

The fact that Hino admits that she found Koguma's bikini top before swimming out to her means . . . there's open communication between them? No, that sounds wrong. Hino is always honest with Koguma? Not quite. Hino has a compulsion to confess? Perhaps.

Being called "baka!" is Hino's erotic fetish? Now we may be getting somewhere . . .

or it ends with a fizzle nothing happens like in "Adachi to Shimamura".

That is only the case with the first axed adaptation, though. The new manga has just passed that point in the story and is still ongoing, and the original LN is much farther ahead in both the story and their relationship.

Wow that's awesome, I only watched the anime, but now you have given me a reason to read the manga from scratch. Thanks!
