re: special number 2. So, Seri and Shuoko have the exact same relationship problems as Sakurako and Kasumi. “If I try to put a label on it, it might ruin what we have.” How many different carbon-copy sexually ambivalent same-sex couples can the author write into one manga? It’s basically useless lesbian Invasion of the Body Snatchers at this point.

it's jover

I thought they were making a thematic point with different contrasting relationships

we're bidone

Christmas with the daughter. ^_^

Seri's relationship insecurity feels a little more melancholy than Sakurako's.

Yeah, Kasumi and Sakurako just haven't put a label on it because they don't feel a need to. They love and cherish each other and that's mostly enough. (though Sakurako has a little bit of buried frustration.)

Seri and Shouko definitely seem more like the traditional definition of "useless lesbians." Just straight up afraid to advance and risk losing what they have.

Yeah I was going to mention this. They're not the same situations at all.

Patience

I finally got my copy of the last volume in. It's sad to know the series is over now. I've enjoyed it over the years, and I look forward to reading it all again in the future.

Why hasn't this manga been adapted into an anime, even though it's finished? Because Yukiko-sensei doesn't want to or is there another reason?

Lots of manga don't get anime adaptations. Most of them, even.

Especially once they're finished, although there have been a couple of exceptions.

Yeah, I know that, it's just that I think this manga is popular enough in Japan to be adapted into an anime (being able to write it for 10 years means it has a lot of fans, otherwise it would have been axed a long time ago.)
That's why I asked if Yukiko-sensei didn't want it so there wasn't an anime adaptation

This manga contained no drama even until the end, I see. Can't fumble an ending if you just keep everything roughly the same.

Honestly I think it's good like this, too.

Wait, so is this manga done? It says its licensed and ongoing...

I think it is over, but the fanlator hasn't wrapped it up for us.
