Im now on 20. 21 will be the end, now confirmed. 20 is extremely dialogue heavy, with Yuuna and Sena talking to each other alone for almost 27 pages. Kiku shows up at the end for 3 pages or so .I hope someone can translate this chapter soonish because my Japanese is absolutely not up to par.
Pacing is real good, No rush, No time wasting, I hope 21 will have the same pace so that the ending will be satisfying as opposed to being rushed, or wasting space.

^Raw.

I have just finished 21 (finale, raw). OMG, I would have never dreamed that there is anything yuri out there that is more romantic than this, with adult lovers, including the end. OK, no seggs, don't need it when something is that romantic, and the two MCs are so deeply in love and being patience. Kiku as we know spends tremendous amount of time and energy to help Sena, out of love; this time, finally, Sena not just confess, but apologizes for having Kiku to wait for her feeling to be equal. Yuna is not in this chapter, but Yurina is always, wearing the best clothes. I wonder if the artist has studied fashion designs, because the clothes are very pretty and unique through out the manga

Sena's career is back on track, including having a movie made based on her novel
Kiku asked Sena for a spare key to her apartment, as her birthday request, as a joke. We all know that she does not need the key because she is used to breaking in without asking. This time Sena gives Kiku the key, and Asks Kiku to move in, which Kiku accepts
The will have an epilogue in the next issue.

The slower you read, the slower the romance oozes out, the better the enjoyment,. This is what a romance is all about.

This series is magic. Complete trust in it's ability to stick it's landing. There's not much ground left to cover anyway, so 4 chapters and 1-2 special chapters should be more than enough. Love their relationship and how it's slowly developed over time as Sena's psychology has developed alongside.

It has been a fun binge read and god damn I love every single page of this, I cant really express myself that well as being an esl might be affecting me but I cant wait for the last few chapters to get translated to see how it'll end.

Chapter 18 just shows how incredibly romantic this Yuri manga is. I love the pace and every panel has some subtle meaning to the story to be digested slowly. This is Yuri at its best.

I agree. It's so sweet and subtle. Grand gestures are nice and hit right in the feels when the story calls for it, but I'm really enjoying how Sena and Kiku's relationship is progressing. It just feels organic to me. They both do these small gestures that show how much they care and love each other, and it's what's letting them open up and fall deeper in love with each other.

I feel bad for Kiku reading the chapters about her past relationship with Yuuna. Maybe we're only seeing the worst, but it really feels like Yuuna was experimenting with Kiku and then decided she wasn't interested. Which is technically fine, but heartbreaking.

Soooo Sena’s feelings for her sister are now just… ignored?
That’s the only problem I have with this series. This question, these untold words flying in the air of each chapter.

Otherwise, the romance is great. Not ideal pace, sometimes confusing twists, but overall really pleasant.

I think it's less that they're being ignored and more like Sena has come to peace with and isn't constantly dwelling on them anymore. She was able to reconnect with her sister somewhat despite her feelings, so that and Kiku's support have eased her mind.

They haven't been ignored at all. What do you mean?

You need to reread chapter 10. Sena clearly says that she needs to move on and she is finally able to do so after getting support from Kiku.

She was afraid of facing Yuuna while having these feelings which was why she kept avoiding her, but after Yuuna's visit and getting back into contact with her sister, she realized that it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be and now has the courage to move on. I also think having someone know about your "deepest, darkest secret" and still accepting you helps a ton with your mental health which is what Kiku did for Sena after finding out about her feelings.

She also mentions the current state of her feelings for Yuuna in chapter 17. So yeah her whole thing with Yuuna is very far from being ignored by the storyline.
