Monogamous head seks.

Subtext my ass.

I'm not anti-polyamory, but declarations of monogamy make me squee.

Whoa, the yuri jumped about six notches at that last part.

This.

The yuri just jumped up to 11!

Though, whether it stays there for the rest of the manga and develops into something more...

Akeuchi has got it bad. It's yuri, it's forehead yuri!

Mercifully, unlike some other subtext-to-romance stories, the romantic development seems to be a long way out from the final chapters. Though because his series also has almost zero chance of building up to a finale that satisfies the realistic spaceflight setup, it's nearly inevitable it will end suddenly with a fast-forward, magic, and/or Akeuchi deciding to stay on Earth with her lover / crush for now.

How about "some aliens come to 'rescue' Akeuichi"?

The only reason Umika wanted to leave Earth it's because she thought there was nothing on Earth for her, with her learning to talk normally and interact with people it's obvious she'll decide to stay after all, which means Akeuchi will have to make the decision at the end there, it's on her. But for that ending decision to be truly impactful they need to get together first and already had been together for a while, so I'm sure it's gonna remove the subtext tag soon (as soon as Akeuchi stops overheating). The question right now it's what's gonna happen first, a confession or Umika realizing she is gay too?

was eagerly awaiting this chapter

My useless lesbian alien can't be this cute.

What we are witnessing here is the very definition of gay panic.

I think the yandere is beginning to kick in

Alien's first jealousy.

I think the yandere is beginning to kick in

Yeah, have we considered the Bad End ending?

Raimon is super cute in cheerleader costume lol.

A glitch in the Matrix.

Anime confirmed!

Ooh, nice! ^_^

Came here cause of Anime adaptation announcement, leaving with new series excitedly looking forward to, this was a lot of fun and just the right amount of drama.

It's gonna need 36 chapters for a 12 episode anime, how far are the raws?

The latest raw chapter is 36.

I won't lie I usually judge stuff by how much "yuri" I can get out of a manga, but after the first chapter of this, I didn't really care that much. All I wanted was for Umi to get some friends. While it's not that rare to have a shy protagonist who wants some friends and/or a place to belong to, this just... somehow encapsulated the feeling of loneliness uh... accurately? I guess. So when I caught up with the TL progress, I was pretty happy that she did, in fact, not just got herself friends, but also carved a place for herself where she feels happy.

Yay for anime, while reading this I thought this would make for a neat slice-of-life anime with rockets as a theme.

As for Akeuchi I hope she won't disappear because of Umi fulfilling her dream of having friends. I hope it's not one of those weird situations where she appeared to be a guide and will go away after her "work is done". I just hope it's some yuri goodness and her realizing that all that forehead rubbing means she needs to take responsibility and just marry Umi. If not on earth then by the alien law.

Also for some reason, Umika reminded me of Shamiko. Dunno why.

Anime confirmed!

OMG YES! This made me so happy. I cant wait!

Yuri or not, just seeing girls being nice to each other is good enough for me.

absolutely loved this and stayed up for hours to read it all lmao. this is definitely fruity.
I also like how they actually work for their goal and everything doesnt just succeed because theyre the main characters and are perfect

It's being touted as yuri in kirara and the anime announcements. My guess is that Alien-chan wants to talk about their relationship.

Akeuchis' gushing to give Umika a good hard rub.
