Do we have to wait till fall for 17.2? I would have thought 17 would be entirely in one volume...

Incredibly adorable chapter

This chapter truly had me giggling and kicking my feet, gotta love when a slow buildup starts to pay off

The girl is overheating, give her some room.

She got revved up. To be young again.... More importantly, I'd love to try their TexMex dish.

I can't stop smiling on how she was so much affected by that intense multiple kiss attacked by umi XD. Gay panic XD

this is too much for me i cant handle how cute they are

The panic is real

I feel like she only just realized what "I love you" means lol

Sure put a grin on my face, they're soooooooo cute!!

It was a huge "Ooooooooooooh" moment, I bet her imagination went to all kind of places.
Her roommates helping her with the gift was very wholesome

Here it is, the Best chapter yet <3
Vivan las noviaaaaaas

ch 17.2
dinner time! Nae and Umi together as usual. Umi glancing at Shou and blushing.
Makki chowsing down. Yosshi picks up on ingredients.
table: Yosshi, Makki, Ibu, Zumiko
guide tells Yosshi to save room for dessert. we learn her family name.
3rd day, flight home tomorrow
oh right, Yosshi's birthday, cake brought out for her.
we finally see Ibu's face. "Nice cake, huh? happy birthday" smile and blush.
Yosshi says she'll make a cake for Ibu, and not lose even to Umi. Ibu makes non-smiling side-eye back.
Umi asks Shou to meet her in the lounge.
Yosshi goes for it! Asks Takahashi for his number. Denied. Ken and
Makki look at her. Zumiko closed-eye/sweat, maybe relieved. Ibu glancing away.
Photo okay. Zumi takes it. Ibu blah, others smile. That pattern continues.
Yosshi complains about how she looks, Zumi angry.
Umi: I'm going to see Shou. Nae: Do you want me to come with you? Umi: Hell no.
Zzz... yay, Shou wakes her up. Date time!
"Nakano likes to shop", so I guess that was Shou's group back in 13.2
the aggressive brown-hair who lectured Shoul about gifts.
present! glass cup. "gentle and comfy, like you"
Umi: "I love you. And can I tell Nae about us?" Denied!
Shou says "I really love you" back, cut off by kiss.
teachers almost catch them, find it suspicious. Nurse is suspicious.
Shou: "wait, do you mean? ... nothing". Then goes to sleep in her room.
last panel, Shou awake in bed. maybe she's finally conscious of Umi?

An alarming development for Umi, having her gf run off without explanation. But maybe she'll get some sleep tonight. Or maybe she'll stay up worrying. (Or maybe she's exhausted enough she could have slept even with Shou there.)

Happiness and trouble intertwined.

I feel like she only just realized what "I love you" means lol

I re-read some of the chapters because I was wondering about this too. Shou was aware that Umi wanted to love her physically, since Umi mentioned it soon after the confession (ch. 8). At the time Shou knew for sure that she liked Umi, just wasn't certain about the specifics. Though she has caught herself a few times noticing Umi's body since then (e.g. in ch. 11). So I think what she realized here is that if they hadn't been interrupted, she would have wanted Shou to keep going. That the lust she's suddenly become so conscious of is the same thing Umi has been feeling for her this whole time.

Man we really gotta have a "Sweetness Warning" tag or something. Christ that kiss nearly killed my ass.

"Does that mean she wants to get in my pants?"

So, my yuri goggles say the two teachers planning a weekend sleepover are an item. Any disagreement?

I wouldn't say I outright agree, but I did wonder.

Also the nurse seems sensitive to the possibility of escapades. "Why are the two of you out here by yourselves."

Thx Kani sensei for not letting me die of thirst...awesome chapter, as expected the kiss panels were the full sweetness course that i need to hold for another chapter <3

did she step on her foot when they were kissing?

... Last day, still no hint about mer-mom... I STILL WANT THAT PAYOFF!

Otherwise, very wholesome chapter, very cute, send help cuz i need an insulin shot and an ice pack for how steamy it was getting.

did she step on her foot when they were kissing?

Given that Umi's feet seem firmly planted, and given Shou's later behavior, I think it was something else. Like having a spasm of desire and freaking out. Baby's first horniness.

I have to conclude that either Nae has a killer poker face, or she has utterly failed to connect Umi's dots, namely "Umi likes someone she won't tell me about" and "Umi has gotten really close with Shou".
