I've had my suspicions that Sumiko-sensei might be American, and this puts a lot of credibility to that lol (if there's any interviews about it, I don't know but I'd be interested to read) I mean, what western teen show DOESN'T have a prom arc; I can imagine her lamenting the idea that she couldn't write one for her characters, then going "Wait, this is my story! Of course they can!!"

love Narita so much, he is absolutely best boy and is just living for this love story just like all of us 10/10

Prom does have some untapped potential as a yuri trope. It's weird that I've never thought of it.

Heheheh American culture spreads. Soon the world will all be absorbed.

She's Japanese, but spent at least part of her childhood in the west due to her parent's work and is fluent in English. Years back on twitter she said she'd tweet in Japanese and English because that's what's comfortable to her. There's an interview where she talked about feeling lonely at first when they moved so spent a lot of time listening to her dad's music and specifically Beck and Nirvana (https://yoi.shueisha.co.jp/body/culture/6900/3/). She was also a Glee stan which would narrow her down as a millennial. If I had to guess it would be the UK though because of some obscure local bands references, vocabulary, and UK orgs she's had merch for like WWF.

God, if we get a glory shot of Mitsuki entering the gym in full suit for prom I (and... all of the female characters in the school) am going to FUCKING MELT.

Don't some of the classic "it's a fancy lady school to train young lesbians errr ladies" manga have prom-like events ("graduation ball", that sorta vibe)? Can't say I'm entirely sure but feels like something I've seen before...

Well, it's mostly an American thing. Japanese lesbians have aquarium dates.

"I have my exam prep" -- Short for, "Ah, right. That's why Japan doesn't have prom."

It seems nobody here shares my disappointment in this development. It just feels like such a contrived way to move the plot forward. I'd rather this was resolved with a conversation or something, instead of an "event", shoe-horned into the story, this time literally only for the sake of developing the relationship of the mc's.

I fucking love Narita.
Hands down th best male character in any yuri manga.

What I love about him is that he’s mostly kept all his character traits. He’s still a noisy doofus that likes to meddle in others business, but because he’s able to actually take a hint and aspires to be an ally in addition to god’s most special little boy he’s really entertaining.

He feels like a character right out of a teen sitcom, and for his archetype he’s the perfect pick to plan a prom.

Talking is boring. Proms are fun.

YURI PROM......... it's so peak

Ay yo did principle San just get dad lore?

I'm now thinking of a Love Bullet/TGSWINWAGAA crossover fan story where Narita & Koharu are in competition to get the shot on Koga & Aya ... Unfortunately I can neither write nor draw.

Narita, having spent all his time playing cupid for others and not pursuing romance for himself, falls in an open manhole one day only to wake up with Chiyo leaning over him, possibly making a Cyberpunk reference as she hands him a gun

Yes, love it.

I never thought about other countries having the equivalent of proms. Those movies are from my day, so it's even more of a step back in time. Still, I hope the two gals can confess, dance, then awkwardly steam up their car windows.

Thank youuuuuuuuu

guys, i cant see if arai-sensei said something about not having chapter today, because alon mosca killed twitter in my country, so
can anyone tell me if we gonna have chapter today?

No chapter today, but she did post a cute artwork. It's up here on the site now:

while i feel like i need to reread the manga to fully understand if I love it or not, I can say without a doubt that arai sumiko is my favorite manga artist visually, her use of color never cease's to amaze me and some of art she's made on the side could be put in a museum and a poster on my wall.

edit: just finished my reread and green manga is peak

Is instagram available for you? Arai also posts updates there

Two birds with the same feather, flocks together XD

She did her best. The idiot couple will now be forced to interact and maybe, maybe even talk things through.
