Glad they didn't leave that plot hanging for too long. This remains a very pleasant series.

I like when a manga feints going down a well-worn trope and then completely subverts it instead.

What does SSR mean in this context?

i like how Tomo hesitated for one morning,then just go "i'm fine with girls it seems"

What does SSR mean in this context?

I think it's a reference to how in gacha game the rarest above even S-ranks items are sometime called like that.
So Rika was glad she managed to see the rare "jealous pouty Natsuko".

This mangaka isn't into long difficult courtships, are they?

Thank you @TehSlan for asking, and thank you @Lightsteam for answering. I didn’t know what “SSR” meant, either.

Nice. ^_^

I think a lot of Western TV and movies have comedy that revolves around misunderstandings.

The genre of the romantic comedy would instantly cease to exist if it removed all the misunderstandings.

That makes a lot of sense. Interesting how slang is changing over time, thanks for the answer!

Soviet Socialist Republic, comrade

Is it bad that my brain read this as "Sance Sance Revolution"? Like, I know that's very obviously not what it means, and yet I can't get the dumb thought out of my head because it makes me laugh like an idiot.

Haha fair yeah. I think you can do romantic-comedies without too many misunderstandings, but you probably need some.

Are really Japanese universities a highschool 2.0, or is just the mangaka being waaay more familiar with highschool tropes?

Seems to be a universal thing. However cultural festivals at the secondary level are generally called 文化祭 (bunkasai), while university festivals are 大学祭 (daigaku-sai) or gakuen-sai (学園祭).

Always nice to see supporting friends. ^_^

Welp, looks like the mangaka got bored with the Mori/Tomo plot already.

University festival it is then!

That moment when you can detect your girlfriend by smell. I guess that's a special power...or she just stinks lmao

Excellent sales method.

Thanks proportionate to the enjoyment.

I love how this couples really is just a magnet for yuri fans to be born and even other gay women.

Or smell really good. Y'know.
More realistically, it could be her shampoo, or perfume (though i don't think Japanese put on perfume if there's not a special occasion).
Of course, I'm sure the joke was just that she knows her girlfriend so well she can pick up something as imperceptible. So, definitely special power.

Well the only solution for this new girl is obviously a threesome!

True she might smell great haha

Hooo, new girl.

I wonder who she'll fall in love with once she's over her crush on Natsuko. Maybe Natsuko's sister ?
