Oh Let's see how dumb Kaede is and see how she reacts to this one! Hopefully it's actual progress and not her glossing over it like "yeah yeah I love you too!" but not realize what she even means.

I’ve used the recent return of this manga to start reading the Japanese copies on my bookshelf again - it’s quite hard reading so I stalled for a while. So I’ve just started volume 7, a bit ahead of the scanlations… so, spoilers: it’s exactly as you say, Kaede’s outward reaction is “I love you too!” - this isn’t a big immediate tipping point, as it were!

Really enjoying this series and so glad to see it being scanlated again on the regular. Thank you!

out of curiosity, which did nanami say in the japanese version, dai suki or aishiteru?

Just “suki” - “好き”. While I would personally typically translate that as “like” not “love”, with all the build-up and the double-page spread etc. I think “love” is more appropriate here. I had many happy gay feelings at it.

^^^ Japanese is highly contextual. I know of no other language that's as contextual as Japanese.

Kaede misunderstanding and/or panicking incoming in 5 ... 2 .... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ....

"aww I love you too pal! you're my best bud ever! i love having a friend like you"

This defiantly has progressed

"aww I love you too pal! you're my best bud ever! i love having a friend like you"

The curse of every yuri fan, god fuckin' dammit.

Kazuki's type is obviously free spirits who couldn't organize their lives even if their life depended on it.

Cute.

you're so right. Mahiro never stood a chance.

oh look there was in fact chemistry between nanami's ex and mahiro hehe

Yeah, who would have thought? And actually seeing their dynamic, I could see Shiori being the kind that would allow Mahiro to handle her past with Nanami for a bit before moving in.

yep, thats kinda what i was getting at in my original, that like she'd be like go try and figure it out and get back to me

Okay so I can't spill out or even pin why but I loved 15.5 a lot! (I don't follow this series much at all, just saw this update)
I think a major factor is the translation?
Appreciate your hardwork guys!

Dear god, do these two have problems... :D

Unexpected rare pair with a twist. :D

We haven't delved into Kae's past much so this seems like the chance to understand why she feels the way she does about romance and relationships.

Well, at least Kaede isn't completely clueless . . .

Louko is too precious for this world, if she doesn't get a girlfriend I swear I'll flip out!

This is much better than being an useless lesbian of course but hear me out ... why not ... just... go for it right away? Wait wait wait don't throw your tomatoes yet! I'M RIGHT!

LoL

Aaah I hope we don't get a multilayered uselesslesbianism where one confess but think the other doesn't understand but she actually understood but thought that Nanami didn't mean it that way and --- oh no, now I'm scared to read the next chapter hahaha.

Because we had this happening in the Landlord manga but they handled it like adults would (kinda.. they tried their best) but I don't know here... ALSO No, I'm not asking for spoilers.

GODDAMMIT KAEDE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

oh... I had a feeling that from reading this chapter, Kaede was hiding that she knew what Kazuki's confession meant!
