I must say altering the "Getting hit on by two guys" trope to "Getting hit on by two girls" is a simple change and yet a mighty upgrade

Asako is such an acoustic queen.

It's pretty refreshing to see the usual trope about guys hitting on girl waiting for her date be reversed (especially since both Asako and Nagi's idea of romance comes from manga).

All the subverted expectations in this chapter were good, it's a running joke that happens every couple of pages so they really stack up lol

He's so proud his daughter is a lady killer.

What does "acoustic queen" mean?

It's possible the dad's "girl will be lucky" was a gendering by the translator; the Japaneses just uses 子, if I recall the sample on Discord correctly.

Auto correct shenanigans. Autistic mayhaps.

I love how her parents already expected her to be out on a date with a girl

I'm having a weird and terrible feeling reading this, like the author is ready to bait us and hit us with Nagi actually being straight all along and just being gay because everyone assumed she is gay, like a reverse comphet

Are we reading the same manga? This is a wild take. Nagi is obviously into Asako and we get evidence of this every chapter.

Has there ever been even one single yuri manga that did this without it literally being set in an isekai where everyone is gay lmfao. I can think of one manga where a straight girl gets sent to a gay isekai, but even then she bends like wet spaghetti in the end. And her not being into girls at the start was, y'know, from the start and not dropped on the audience as a twist.

The closest I can think is maybe that one "Happy End" manga or whatever it was called. It doesn't seem to be on the reader anymore, or if it is I can't find it. Where the whole story is basically the relationship between the two main girls and then in the final chapter one of them marries the others brother instead.

I see we’re locked in on the “player is actually a bottom” path

Asako steadily becoming more butch and/or assertive as Nagi gradually becomes more and more submissive is one of my favorite parts of the manga lol

not gonnae lie i felt a palpable sense of relief when i flipped the page and they were actually kissing. god fucking bless!!!!!

Asako steadily becoming more butch and/or assertive

She's not really going the butch route, she's incredibly feminine. Butch may be seen as a masculine form of gender expression, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're assertive or even the "dominant" one in the relationship and appearance plays a huge part in it, it's beyond tomboy level. People who choose not to shave (body or facial hair), who get masculine haircuts (long or short), who dress like the men in their culture is expected to... It's a much more extreme rejection of femininity.

Incredibly cute chapter! Her smile in this page is seriously so cute. Just something really nice about how casual they are about all that's happening so far.

Another master class in yuri manga dating by Usui Shio.

This is one of the best things about "casual dating" yuri. A moment where the mood is just right for a kiss comes around, and the leads actually take the opportunity. Not that I don't enjoy yearning and pining and stuff but this is nice too sometimes

i love this chapter! this is what we crave every yuri manga to end up, at least we enough chapters to spare to show us how cute they are together!!!

Can we talk about how well-drawn that kiss scene was? The expressions on their faces are just screaming teenage angst, it's so good!

...also Asako casually resting her hand on Nagi's thigh is, uh. Definitely a choice that isn't going to affect anything, yep.
