@Topic: Could we finally see some more genuine self-realization from Hino soon?

OK, from my pov these two have obviously been gaga for one another from very early in the series, and at some fundamental level they each know that about themselves, but neither one quite realizes/is ready to acknowledge that the other one feels the same way. In other words, they’re both incredibly thirsty but each believes that the other one doesn’t drink.

Aka: Idiot Couple

Bingo.

I don't think my heart can take much more if they don't get together soon. Even with the jokes, and the slight lewdness, what a heartwarmingly adorable chapter. At least it seems like they're both coming to the same revelation; they just need to actually act on it together.

There is a pretty nice moment when Koguma purposefully presses her chest against Hino's back in thanks, acknowledging:
1) Hino likes her, at least in some way
2) Hino is okay with her small body, which she is always so hard on herself about
3) The way to reward Hino is with herself.

Fantastic.

Like, "I shouldn't have this, this is way too good for me."

I think this is, essentially, both of their realizations in a nutshell. Hino has seemingly low-self esteem and doesn't think she deserves Koguma. She looks up to Koguma as someone who is smart, and fits in, and ultimately does the right thing most of the time. Koguma has a bad self-image and doesn't think Hino would want her; she looks up to HIno for her coolness, confidence, and mature look. They are, of course, made for one another.

Daaaaaaw Hino trying to act all Chad but still blushing like crazy is all sorts of adorable ! She really cares for her little bear ^_^

Having spent nine years in school with someone named Chad, the only thing this term evokes is the image of someone who farts loudly in public then cracks jokes about it. At first I thought people were using it to describe someone clingy that you can't seem to get rid of (as in a "hanging chad"), but that doesn't seem to be the case.... Is "Chad" meant to be a good thing?

Yes

I’m personally not too fond of seeing the term here, since its recent use originated in the incel forums, meaning (implicitly privileged, overly confident, shallow) sexually active "alpha males.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_(slang)

I know it’s come into wider usage lately, but it’s hard for me to forget its origin in the fetid swamps of the manosphere.

FWIW I only wrote it because I find the expression funny , I really didn't mean anything more by it ! I'm neither a man nor celibate in any case :P You're right that it has a pretty negative origin though and I'll refrain from using it here from now on.

Will these two ever stop being useless lesbians!?
I mean, is cute and all but GOD!! Everything has a limit!

What will happen first? Hino being honest for once? Ayano and Miyoshi starting dating? Nanoha and Chidori revealing their relationship at least to their friends? Or the characters from Tsunamino's mangas confessing their love?

Nanoha and who?

It should happen right after season 2 of bloom into you and adachi and shimamura

Now I'm sad :-[

could you tell me where all of them from?

Or SOMEONE making it official with SOMEONE in Yuru Yuri.

You mean they haven't officially come out as a poly yet?

Ayano and Miyoshi are from Virgins' Empire, Nanoha and Chidori are from Hana ni Arashi, and Tsunamino's mangas I mentioned are Futari Monologue and Lily Triangle.

Or SOMEONE making it official with SOMEONE in Yuru Yuri.

I think there's Nishigaki and Matsumoto, but people have disagreed with me when I pointed that out.

Don't forget the Ise-san and Shima-san sequel where they actually start dating.

I also forgot about School Zone. I don't think anyone confessed their love for someone else besides the Hinase twins.

If it makes you feel better, think of Chad as being the winner of the Great Toyota War.

No, really.

Koguma...

Let's keep the discussion here about this series please. <3

Bets on Hino politely looking away, Koguma being both relieved and disappointed by it, then Hino ruining the resulting moment by bringing up seeing through Koguma's shirt.

Come on, Koguma, you know how this goes. No "eh?" necessary here. This is the classic "take a bath after being soaked in the rain so you don't catch cold" scenario.

The question is whether you're playing the eroge or the all ages version of that scenario... ;)

Oh, come on, Koguma... Sure, she has no choice but to see them, but she's behind you to stop others from seeing this.

And of course you need to take off your clothes to dry them.

Which is the hope, and which is the fear?

Ah yes. That's totally some excuse Hino might come up with :D

Koguma may be small, but Hino really can't just shove her into the drier with her clothes, right?

Honestly, until Koguma started complaining, I never even suspected she might have any other reason to do so. Hino is rather protective of her little bear, after all.

It's Hino we're talking about, so I'm guessing her motivations are equally lewd AND wholesome :P

Judging by the time at the beach, indeed. :D
