I don't think I could handle an ending that doesn't include Nanao's love being reciprocated. My heart would break. I don't care what happens as long as Nanao is part of it.

Everyone here is gonna like the new chapter. Just read the raws.

Do you remember back then when it was about finding her girlfriend and that she met everyone in the brothel and had sex?

I also remember there was some girl... Don't recall her name, I think it was Mai? She seemed to want to find her as well.

Are you sure? I don't recall ever hearing that name before.

gaaahhhhh and just as Asumi resolved herself to start looking again Mai goes out of reach again! Author-sensei sure knows how to tease us xD

I'm now very eager

Ganbatte Asumi-chan, contribute to your household and wear a maid outfit for your totally-not-a-girlfriend.

STAY STAY STAY STAY STAY STAY STAY STAY YOU DUMBASS

Asumi, sweetheart. YOU ARE LIVING THE DREAM WTH!! Mai must be the best laid someone can get EVER if she is THAT worthy of giving up Nanao "sugar Kohai" life. Like i would die to be on Asumi's shoes just for Nanao

You are so real. When Asumi went "I can't live like this." I'm legitimately asking why. Even though in real life I'd probably feel this way too.

I'm so invested in Asumi meeting Mai. Noy exactly them getting together but at least talking. My heart dropped seeing them miss each other again,

Asumi-chan " I can't rely on Nanao Chan forever
I've gotta do my job and I've gotta go to the brothels"

Brilliant Asumi-chan, absolutely brilliant...

im very curious what direction asumi-chan is going. Things are kinda happening in the way i assumed they would logically, but i didnt expect this to actually be the way it happened, unless the point of this is that asumi and mai are gonna meet once, and then mai is gonna get sent to tokyo as a way to progress that side of things while also drawing things out more?

idk about this direction, i do feel like introducing nanao, while positive in the short term, kinda went too far and is detracting from the entire idea of the lesbian brothel escapades the story was built around. Its kinda interesting though because asumi still doesnt seem like she really has fallen for nanao, or at least she hasnt fallen enough to stop caring about mai, even when literally nestled in nanaos boobs lol.

Nanao really went from "Shy girl who knows nothing about sex" to being a dommy sugar mommy.

The author reminding us that other characters still exist is a nice touch. It's been a while since we've seen Asumi's senpai and boss, and of course, Mai. Also love that Serina is becoming a recurring character now.

Yeah the MD comments were heavy on the fact that if Asumi had feelings for Nanao she wouldn't be feeling so out of place in this situation. I'm curious if the manga is heading towards a discussion of sex vs love. Nanao wants both from Asumi, and Asumi seems like she can only give the sex part, at least for now, that may change later.

I definitely wouldn't mind if the story took a turn and after meeting Mai they just become friends and get over each other and allow each other to be unburdened in dating other people. I think that would be an interesting way for the story to go, but nothing so far has convinced me that Asumi likes Nanao any more than she likes Sayaka, for example.

Also, I keep feeling like we're gonna get some backstory on her senpai and it never comes.

REAL

As for Mai, I am invested, but now I'm all in team Nanao LET'S GO JUST BE GFS ALREADY

Oh welcome back Mai. I'm sure she can rescue this trainwreck....

Nanao's really embodying the stereotype of the quiet ones always being the freakiest.

From volume 3 extras, it seems like Asumi just prefers to have more "variety" instead of being with one person only

Nanao really went from "Shy girl who knows nothing about sex" to being a dommy sugar mommy.

Nanao is so horny, she has speed-run the "quiet girl to pervy sex goddess" character arc in, like, three chapters. :D

Also love that Serina is becoming a recurring character now.

Word! Serina still best girl.

The writing of this chapter seems to frame Asumi settling down with Nanao as a failure condition for her personal journey. Despite featuring tons of sex between them the tone of this chapter did not make me hopeful for Asumi and Nanao’s future relationship.

I still enjoy the story but at this point Mai is like an industry plant, and with barely any marketing. We're just supposed to want her to win out based on....?

Is it really any wonder that many are supporting actual developed character relationships over empty pinning for someone we essentially don't know, based on a non-crush from when they were basically toddlers?

The setup and choices of this manga have seemed suspect the more it's become clear that we really are supposed to view Mai as an end goal, rather than a catalyst. "I Won't Sleep With You for Free," is almost the same type of story but handles this specific issue much better.

I do feel like introducing nanao, while positive in the short term, kinda went too far and is detracting from the entire idea of the lesbian brothel escapades the story was built around.

This has been my feeling as well.

If Asumi ends up leaving Nanao when she finds Mai after everything they built up my opinion of this series will drop like a stone. If Mai is end-game no matter what they never should've introduced a character like Nanao and gone so far with her because at this point how am I supposed to root for Mai? She's made actual appearances in like 4 chapters out of 5 volumes and Asumi and Nanao are clearly obsessed with each other. Asumi has to literally force herself to start looking for Mai again.
Best case scenario, they find each other and Asumi realizes she can't throw away the life she built with Nanao for a childhood crush that she wasn't even really aware of, and they become friends instead and Mai finds her own girlfriend.

My heart would break when Asumi resumes back to the brothel and Nanao is fine with it. At that point I would say Nanao deserves better, I don't want to see her becoming a doormat. But let see what happens

I still think this would make the most sense, first and foremost because it would be funny and this is a comedy manga :P If after however many chapters it turns out that they'd rather just go their separate ways, that's pretty humorous to me. But I think it's hard to predict anything because I also don't get the impression that any of this was planned out.

This chapter and Asumi's conflicted feelings are a good example of why it's not typically recommended to sleep with your boss or a roommate, and Asumi's gone and done both at once with Nanao. It's almost impossible for her to keep this casual and draw boundaries without hurting Nanao or turning her down since they spend so much time together. There's some real drama fast approaching for the two of them. Maybe drama that will see Asumi find an excuse to take a trip to Tokyo to make some physical distance, hmm?
