Uh oh, stalker alert?

Is the implication is that she gave up on the club because she’d rather just see Takamie after school everyday?

Feels like the lillies are really blooming now, lots of little doki-doki moments :O We even managed to pick up a potential love rival on the way.

Uh oh, stalker alert?

I'd say an admirer from her volleyball days, probably a junior or something of the sort.

I think it was an already dead non-club, and she decided to finally let it go, or something along those lines.

In any case, cute! Great chapter. I absolutely love seeing Takamine grow as a character and person and see her outlook on practically everything change and especially love all the cute moments between her and Sakura. Bathe me in this shit, dude. I assume the new mystery girl is some sort of a "fan" from the volleyball stuff, not too concerned about her. I'm more interested in what Sakura was so morose about, we don't see much from her perspective, and I hope we do at some point.

THEY'RE SO CUTE
BEING SO EXCITED TO SEE EACH OTHER
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
manga so good
Absolutely peak

Library girl doesn't even get a face. I wonder if this will go the typical route of having her be a catalyst of some sort. That'd be kind of disappointing.

She left early to see her sooner. How sweet.

"No, It feels right" MOM! DAD! BRING THE CAMERA, IT'S HAPPENING!

Thanks for the translation!

So is this leading towards Sakura focusing on Takamine, while Takamine slowly finds other stuff she enjoys in life aside from just spending time with Sakura?

Takamine this chapter:

Going to school: I sleep.

Seeing (future) girlfriend on the train: real shit.

Got her priorities in order.

Ohhh no, she took her flyer off, that made me so sad

Ohhh no, she took her flyer off, that made me so sad

Yeah, I really hope she'll mention it to Takamine and get the encouragement/motivation not to give up on it from her :⁠-⁠\ Sakura is such a sweet girl, I really want her to find even more new friends with a similar passion.

A wild third wheel appeared!

squeeeeeeeeeee

Ohhh no, she took her flyer off, that made me so sad

The vibe in the manga itself didn't seem sad so it was a little weird to me. Hopefully she still gets it up somehow!

Sorry to have asked but why the 'public transportation' tag? o.o?

See literally the first page of the manga? They meet on the train.

What did you think? o.o

Bwahaha, didn't expect things to turn out like this. Pretty much like Hatori and Hirose, I thought the newcomer would be having a crush... But no, she was just trying to rope Takamine into club activities. Very nice ! And the pair's synced reactions were pretty funny.

You know it's yuri because there's theatre in it.

As I understand it, some tags are guides to genre, some are content warnings, and some are just pattern recognition (like Not Lizard).

I still think it’s a scandal that there’s no Aquarium tag. (I don’t really think it’s a scandal, but . . .)

It's not easy being the tall highschool prince type I guess, you're always either confessed to or roped into acting in a play :P It's adorable how Takamine cares so much about Sakura now that she's actively worried about not having enough time to spend with her. Seeing Sakura blush up a storm at the end was all sorts of cute too, I'm now half hoping Takamine will read the thing she wrote and it will turn out to be kinda smutty, the reactions alone would be an absolute riot :P

Sakura continues to be impossibly cute and soothing. Meanwhile, our intrepid protagonist seems like she's... learning that fun exists?

I was way off about the girl, and how things panned out were far better and more amusing than I'd hoped and expected! I mean she absofuckinglutely has a crush on Takamine but I do not think it comes into play at this point. Anyway, huge fan of genuinely every single thing that happened in this chapter, to the level that I'm tempted to go through it on a panel-by-panel basis, but for the sake of my own sanity I won't... go all out.

Key takeaways and emphases:

Hatori almost selling Takamine out was very amusing. Kinda wanted her to go through with it.

The spin on the girl's identity and confession was more obvious this chapter but was still brilliantly done, and I really like the girl which is always a bonus. Definitely has a crush on Takamine, but for absolutely no fucking reason I ship her with Hinata.

There's a lot to break down on this thought in particular, but If Takamine's growth leads to her starting to write or even becoming an author I'll be ecstatic. I adore just the thought of it. In any case, I'm really glad to see that she's decided to really go for something that she seems at least to a certain level genuinely interested in, and I'm excited to see how it'll all look.

Takamine acting all... I don't even know how to describe it, but worrying about not seeing Sakura enough and all, this shit just melts me. Also cute how Hatori's quiet remark about matching schedules kinda happened by the end of the chapter.

I'm very, very much hoping that with how intensely Sakura blushed at the end that whatever it is that she's written before was about Takamine. I'm 99% certain that it wasn't and she's just generally really shy about it because who wouldn't be, but just think how much more amusing that'd be.

The next chapters cannot come out soon enough, good lord.

I wonder if this will go the typical route of having her be a catalyst of some sort. That'd be kind of disappointing.

I'd say she turned out to be just that, but in a way that is the absolute opposite of disappointing.

Tags are also there to help you find stories using the advanced search function when you only remember a few details about them. In this case, school girls, one with glasses, mostly meeting on the train. (And I agree, Aquarium tag would be useful.) Half the time I respond to posts in What's that manga called?, it's from a tag search just based on the clues they give.

Yawn: the series.
