Yup, let's be real, Hinoka has always been the driving force in this relationship.

Awwww, Hinoka just beat Tsukushi to it >w<

You know, in the beginning I was also in the "Tsukushi is a useless lesbian" camp for not being able to confess (and missing all the obvious signs) but after today's chapters I thought about it and honestly, I can't even blame her THAT much.

Hinoka is absolutely gorgeous. She's like, the full package. Cute and adorable, pretty and sexy. It feels like it was inevitably leading to her making the first step and we should thank her Mom for the advice she gave her. She wasn't kidding when she suggested her to flaunt her sex appeal and be more on the offensive.

Now lets all pray Tsukishi survives.

Yes, she's gorgeous!

And yes, thanks Hinoka's mom! Gotta love those offensive moment scene, waku waku!

Dawwww

Damn, people are pretty hard on Tsukushi. She only realized her feelings a while ago, organized the trip to confess, and tried to. She was stop before she could do it, but I'm pretty much sure she would have done it. If anything, Hinoka had the easy part as she was already quite aware of Tsukushi's feelings for her, and was just waiting while giving hints. She just gave the last little push in the end but I found Tsukushi's courage more impressive. Doing all of that, thinking you're going to be rejected must be really hard.

Regardless, I'm still happy the way it happened, and I can't wait to see their relationship evolve! I hope that the third volume won't be the last though. It's pretty popular, but Hijiki have been quite inconsistent with the release. Must be hard to publish two series at the same time.

I know I'm being pessimistic here but it seems a lot of yuri manga these days seem to end soon after the confession, or worse, right after the confession. Obviously I always want to see the relationships fully explored but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well, at least, there are still quite some chapters left for this volume, so we still have some time to see them all lovey-dovey :) I'm also pretty much sure we will have a double date with the other couple, this has been teased a few times already.

Tsukushi was able to at least physically get to a point where a kiss could take place, that's better than most romcom protags I know :P You go girls !

Tsukushi's gonna blow up after this, isn't she? She already was overloaded just thinking about saying the words, a kiss might just send her to the afterlife lol

I 100% think this is going to happen. She mentioned earlier she was getting sleepy, and we know she didn't sleep the night before this trip. I'm fully expecting her brain to overload from the kiss, she passes out, and when she wakes up she'll assume the kiss was a dream.

Okay but consider: girlfriend lap pillow

This chapter made me re-read the whole series from the beginning. (I had entirely forgotten that early faux-confession scene on the park bench.) So many excellent touches, including the wonderful helpers: as others have mentioned, Hinoka’s all-star ally Mom, Sara and Yuu (who seem like a real couple in their own right, not just a plot device to help the MCs), and even Sara’s sister Rumi acting as wingwoman to the wingwomen.

The story also seems much less repetitive when read all at once rather in 5-page chunks—you can see more of the (incremental, to be sure) progress being made rather than just focusing on the sometimes frustrating chapter-ending blocks/cliffhangers.

And yes, props to the scanlators for posting these last 3 chapters all at once rather than having us wait over the course of several weeks to get this lovely payoff. Thanks, and well-played, folks.

If that gets us back to square zero I'd let out a very audible exasperation sigh, lol

I feel like lips touching is progress though lol

Here here to the scanlators, for all your work up until now and for releasing these last few chapters as a group so we could avoid the suspense

Damn, she beat her to it lol. You go girl

Hinoka is absolutely gorgeous. She's like, the full package. Cute and adorable, pretty and sexy. It feels like it was inevitably leading to her making the first step and we should thank her Mom for the advice she gave her. She wasn't kidding when she suggested her to flaunt her sex appeal and be more on the offensive.

For real I’m not kidding when I say Hinoka is probably one of the down right prettiest love interests I’ve seen in a Yuri manga. Face, posture, hair the eyes, even I find myself taken aback by how stunning she’s drawn almost ever panel. I can’t exactly blame our heroine for being a complete mess and unable to get the words out but thankfully Hinoka just made it a non-issue

Tsukushi and Hinoka are literally Me and the Bad Bitch I Pulled by Being Useless

Also I just noticed, this is a hypnagogic romcom? maybe Tsukushi will fall asleep after the kiss lol

I know right? I have read so many Yuri mangas in the past and my God every time she's on the page it's just virtual eye candy. Not saying Tsukishi isn't cute in her own right, but Hinoka is just absolutely stunning. I'd probably turn into an anxious blob similar to Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock if I had to confess to Hinoka.

Couldn't agree more. Thank you, Team Sappho Scans!

WE HAVE CONTACT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! WE HAVE CONTACT!

Skipped a step there, Tsukushi. (⁠づ⁠｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡⁠)⁠づ

Smooth, Hinoka. Smooth...

Team Sappho, you guys are the best （ ; ; ）

Girls who kiss
