The confession curse strikes again, and its kind of a shame because I do think this story had the time to include them dating lmao.

And I didn't dislike it, definitely not like some other people did. But what a shame to drag it out and then finish here.

At laaaast.

IIRC it started really cute, but then got stupidly dragged out. At least it ended... positively?

The drag out was strong. Kinda sucks we're not gonna get more of their relationship and it just ends here but oh well.

It feels like too many yuri stories nowadays end right after the confession.

Eh. I'm glad they did finally get together, but it ended up happening along the fairly orthodox [confession finally lands]->[Fast forward montage with token fluff]->[roll credits] track. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that "I want you" should have broken down that wall, and then the chapters after would be a nice wind down to the ending as the world has a chance to breathe as it shows off the (honestly, pretty minimal) differences now that they're officially romantic.

(Side note, chapter 25 appears to have been overwritten by the new chapter)

It's like watching a footballer about to kick the ball into the goal, but there's a brick inside.

Not yet, but there might be an afterwords or a short side story, like in Can’t Deny the Lonely Girl, haha! :D

Please, please be a time skip to a few years, they’re already married and all lovey dovey and kissy kissy. Please, 27 pages of them kissing would be peak.

Or like, just a fast forward into their relationship, please, please,

Pleaseeeeee.

It just feels so antiquated. And it's not just the confession at the end, the entire "hijinks" aspect of delaying them figuring out their feelings for each other feels so old to me now. Like, how does this still sell? How are there still audiences for this?

I mean, are you sure that it did sell? This whole final volume has had "whoops we just got axed" written all over it.

Wow, they finally confessed. Good for them.

This is when you hope the author follows in Tachi's footsteps like with Sakura Trick.

I hate that I'm both frustrated AND overjoyed by these two. Sure, it might be the most dragged out high school romance I've read in recent years, but when else are you supposed to trip & roll around in love & life? Here's hoping for dumb dating omakes in the volume release (copium).

I'm using sell loosely here. I mean in the sense that the author and editor at some point have agreed that they have to delay this as much as possible, which at some point is a decision about what will sell, even if it ultimately did not end up working.

Overall I think it was a good read. Even if it did get a bit... grueling, for a moment.
