^Look at the bright side. It's actually showing us how much people desire Ran, while Ran only looks at Keiko. Hopefully, it's a set-up chapter to make Keiko a bit shaken up

Wow, can't believe this outdid Citrus in terms of comment number, AND IT'S NOT EVEN YURI!

Stretching is more important

No only that but there isn't a constant flame war occurring over Stretch either and it still has more comments.
Either Dynasty users love stretching or they love subtext.
Probably the stretching though.

Not really a triangle, keiko hasn't talked to her ex in ages and while she needs to address that she wont ever be getting back with him.

Everyone loves ran, keiko just wont admit that and ran is just gay as fuck and has been the entire time.

I guess that we love Ran. Everyone loves Ran.
And the stretching too.

Ran stretching is overkill.

I wonder if Ran really knows that Keiko's ex is really Keiko's ex. There can't only be one Keiko in Japan, right..? When one of the chs ended with the ex saying Keiko's name, Ran was surprised. But it didn't continue after that, so we don't know if Ran knows that the ex BF was Keiko's ex bf.

If Ran knows and she hasn't told either Keiko or the ex, it could pose as a huge misunderstanding between her and Keiko. I wonder what's in stored for the next chap.

I think Ran is all but certain that he's the ex of the Keiko she knows, because the events and timing pretty much match up with the things she knows about her Keiko. Maybe it's not 100%, but that's never stopped Ran before.

I do have to agree with that other poster above who's a bit frustrated that Keiko doesn't seem to show much emotion towards Ran beyond friendship, not even a wistful look. It makes things look awfully one-sided.

She may not show it in front of Ran but in the christmas chapter when she was talking to her friend she showed some feelings for Ran. That was maybe not romantic but at least beyond normal friendship.

Except, you know for all the meltdown that comes with each chapter about if Shou's baiting us or not.

If chapter 22 a&b is Keiko telling Ran about her ex, that would probably be because Ran asked her. No reason why Keiko would not also have mentioned his name.

On page 7 after whats-er-face mentions that Ran's scent is everywhere, the pause from the answer of Keiko could be interpreted that she's missing her. But that's if you're reaching xD

On the first page I also thought that was a woman. Oh well. He may not indeed love her. I have a person who is like that for me and I don't love her romantically. So just putting that out there. Although this is a manga so xD

Also that's a cute kitty.

That's Saki. I was quite confused who it was because Ran's co-worker is drawn almost identically and I forgot her name, too.

I meant love triangle between Keiko x Ran x Ex Boyfriend XDDD

So what's the date? Ran's at home for a day-off, so it's probably 11th of March or so? WD's coming next chapter? Then drama or yuri? Whatever the case, she's clearly still hurt badly, seemingly because of her dad.

Maybe, "worst-case," Keiko and the ex end up back together, and the story ends with Keiko getting the baby she wanted.

I wonder if Keiko can at all get pregnant now. If not, Ran's actually the one who she should get married to. Besides, Ran has such a kitty. :)

She may not show it in front of Ran but in the christmas chapter when she was talking to her friend she showed some feelings for Ran. That was maybe not romantic but at least beyond normal friendship.

What annoyed this time is that Keiko didn't say a thing even in front of Saki. She's really doing her best running away from reality after the Valentine's and not willing to accept the sexual counterpart of the relationship. Maybe she's too conscious hiding, not to accidentally come out LOL. But then she could at least slightly blush...

On the first page I also thought that was a woman.

My first thought was, why Keiko went for such an ugly haircut all of a sudden and how did Ran allow for that. Then I thought, that maybe it's Keiko's mom. And only afterwards I realised it's just her ex.

Ran stretching is overkill.

hahaha, so true

That's no flame war, that's just standard fandom behavior.

Ahh, and the wait is over! Although this felt like a mix of filler and main story within 8 pages lol.

I'm not worried about Keiko's ex at all. Ran has no interest in guys, and it's clear she only has eyes for Keiko; as for Keiko, I'm pretty sure she's developing feelings for Ran, but hasn't expressed it in a blunt manner to let us know.

Can't wait for the next update.

Was all excited about a new Stretch chapter but it turns out to be a filler :( And it's been so long since the last update, I went and read everything from the start again...

This ch was far more subtle but still worth the read, plus good stretches too ^_^

Subtle you say? Even though we got a probability of an approaching NTR potentially having even two candidates for performing it...and what ticked me off was how Keiko wouldn't give a single shinkansen about the likelihood of Ran being stolen, readily agreeing to arrange a meetup of her with Saki...

You're exaggerating. Plus NTR is when they are in a relationship, which they aren't. Also Ran doesn't seem she likes either Saki or Keiko's ex in that way. Are you per chance drunk? (slightly joking)

No, that's what cheating is. NTR is when main character's expected romantic partner ends up with someone else.
