Amazing for a self-published work. It deserves it and more!

Am I the only one that thinks Ibu likes Yoshi? (I think that are the correct names) Sorry if this has been talked before

No, I think that's actually a new idea. The usual idea is that Ibu (grumpy) likes Umi (MC).

We know that Ibu and Yosshi have known each other a long time; Yosshi uses Ibu's personal name (Yuuki), and they actually had a sweet birthday moment in Okinawa. But I think I've only read them as actual friends. Umi is the one that Ibu is repeatedly clingy/attentive to.

We've only seen Ibu look genuinely happy 3 times. Once when Umi was feeding her, once when showing off the sunglasses Umi gave her, and once when finally saying happy birthday to Yosshi.

I like to think that even though Ibu likes Umi, there's something between her and Yosshi that the both of them haven't really realized. But that's just because I'm a sucker for stories like that.

Anyway, let's hear it for ominous symbolism! Woohoo!

Honestly Wholesome is too light a tag of this one, we really need something like Sickly Sweet to get across how this series'll put you in a diabetic coma.

BTW: Her Kiss - Infectious Lust (renamed: “Her kiss, my libido twinkles”") just finished its second Kickstarter for physical versions of volume 2 (official English). Smashed it again like volume 1. I know it's late notice but that came to mind. We'll likely have one for the other volumes too.

Sort of off-topic, but that series lost its fan translators and never got new ones, right? I think it's up to like 17 releases on JP but only 12 or 13 in English and last updated years and years ago, yeah?

Yeah, pretty much. These official releases should eventually cover those chapters though. It also had a short live action adaptation.

Need. More. Background.

Why is Umi Ibu's willing slave, yet both on family-name terms?

It's a professional relationship: brat and brat tamer. :D

One of the many things that I’ve liked about this series is that Umi’s feelings for Shou have always been about the “kissing and getting naked together” part of yuri from the very beginning. (As seen in her dream iin Chapter 4, for instance.)

None of this “I don’t know what I’m feeling and besides we’re both girls” business (as fun as that can be when done well).

Boob panic in chapter 1 https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_blue_star_on_that_day_ano_koro_no_aoi_hoshi_ch01#last

Ch 4 dream was preceded by a focus on Shou's sexy nape
Though also followed by "how could I think of another girl like that" so we did have a bit of "but we're both girls"

Quite right. But it’s not like the lewd has to be some drawn-out epiphany (or off the table entirely)—Umi is definitely into it.

Of course Umi is into it. It’s Shou… Umi is neither literally dead nor an inanimate object, so of course she is crushing on Shou.

More troubling foreshadowing with a whole panta rhei spiel going on while Umi daydreams about a moment regarding her relationship...

It's funny, I was just thinking while opening this chapter that I've honestly found this series to be better described as Introspective than Wholesome.
