Manga Time is supposedly a "seinen" magazine, at least according to Wikipedia, but everything I've seen from them before this series has been strictly PG lol

The Manga Time Kirara magazines have (had) some spicier series like Momoiro Montage (Forward) and Koharu Biyori (same magazine as this one) but it's definitely not a significant part of their line-up.

She just goes straight for the tummy ;-)

This is probably the most detailed (and lewd) 4koma I've ever seen. I also have the same question, how did "weak hips" turn into "back pain" lmao

The specific term is 腰, which can mean either lower back, waist, or hips. It's just that some of those terms apply better to certain contexts than others.

And also the word "hip" or ヒップ transliterated from English is used to mean the buttocks sometimes, so that whole area of the body is very difficult (for me anyway) to understand when translating from English to Japanese and vice versa. I'm actually still unsure from the context if the salacious senpai meant that Ruka's butt was her weak spot, or her hips or her waist....?

That’s definitely a massage alright

oh man it is so sad how whipped she is for her LMAO

Also weak hips can contribute to lower back pain in that your posture can be affected.

It's admittedly tricky to get across in English in a way that gets across Suuna's misunderstanding, since "weak lower back" doesn't sound sexy and "hip pain" sounds a bit stilted.

Several medical sites do have a separate article for "hip pain", so they could've gone with that.

At this rate it might be best for Ruka if Suuna never learns what sex is. Poor girl won't be able to stand up for days if the beast inside Suuna awakens.

Extra appropriate since Suuna is dense as a black hole.

Almost love? Title update to "Semi-Lovers" when?

Given the back message it's safe to assume Suuna interpreted it as back pain.
