It had been a long time since I read the first chapter, but going back to it now, Saki was barely concealing her gayness from the start. Wouldn't be surprised if her mom suspected, lol. I'm glad to have a new non-subtext yuri series from Kuzushiro.

I thought it seemed pretty obvious that Saki was gay but I haven’t read any of Kukuzhiro’s other works so I didn’t know if this was just gonna end up like tropical fish with endless baiting.

Rereading chapter 1 it seems heavily implied that Saki’s mom knows she’s gay, or at least suspects it with the way she said “but you were never into piano that much were you?”

You’re right about the mom thing holy hell

Saki at the very least was pretty causal with how she blushed at kanon the first time they met while noticing her looks. He being gay seemed pretty apparent, but I really didn’t suspect she had a thing for her piano teacher.

The fact that we didn’t really get in Saki’s head was pretty clever way of not making the crush more obvious. She was clearly upset, but without more elaboration it could just be chalked up to being frustrated a teacher that’s been in your life for a long time is moving on.

But with this newest chapter and looking back that pure black panel when her mom says she was never into piano that much and her reaction really drives it home what it was really about.

Still I’m not fully sure if that’s her mom being fully aware, or if the black panel is supposed to be saki taking those words the absolute worst was. It’s hard to tell without hearing how the mom says it, but it seems pretty plausible she might have picked up on it maybe from the way saki talked about her teacher or something over the years idk

if i’m interpreting that last page right, we should already be free of that subtext tag… Saki probably already has a crush on Kanon, if we’re all in agreement that she kept studying piano just for her teacher. hopefully we’ll see some more romance from here… Kuzushiro really has a tendency to edge us GL fans ..

Yeah, we've officially graduated from subtext now
Interested to see where the story goes, I initially thought that Saki reacted negatively to the marriage sign because of some parent drama or something, but in retrospect it seems pretty clear that she just dislikes it being made up of man and woman.

Whoa, I didn't really expect for this to actually go yuri, or at least not so soon. Nice to finally have it shown clearly and not just implied.

I had the same reaction as Saki when Kanon explained the marriage sign. Well, my thoughts were more like "So... would gay marriage be two thumbs and lesbian marriage two pinkies, or what?" lol
Looking forward to how things will go from here.

Now I wonder if that's how Saki is going to express how she feels about Kanon eventually, by doing the "I love You" sign first followed up by that marriege sign but with two pinkies ^^;;

Enjoying this greatly, even before we got past the subtext. Definitely feeling this will only get better from here.

Unless this takes place over a very long span of their relationship, I feel like jumping to a marriage proposal would be kind of cart-before-the-horse-y?

More possible evidence to the mom maybe knowing, chapter 1 page 17, after Saki says how beautiful the random stranger she saw was and beaming while retelling the scene, mom silently smiles with a "hmm".
