Mitsuki fr missed the chance to Oosawa as “Aya”! Is this kinda thing normal for relationships in Japan?

prob more common to call your lover by your first name at some point, but it isn't unheard of. it's a bit of a trope, i guess. Adachi & Shimamura and Yamada & Kase-san are other examples

Rizz up the mom lol

Oyakodon

This chapter made me realize, that despite dating, they aren’t on a first-name basis with each other.

HOOOOOW??

Sex is third base, using personal names is a home run.

"IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY THAT LIKES MEN"

Dad Oosawa, soon to be introduced:

"This is my husband. And this is my husband's boyfriend."

at least the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Her face on page 4 kinda looks like the "No Bitches?" face.

Good to see them happy.

Omg i love how gay this is getting in the last couple chapters. The author has been SO disciplined keeping the tone for like a hundred chapters and keeping things ambiguous to the point I was not entirely convinced this would be actual yuri and not just a subtext story about the way subcultures connect people. And now all of a sudden bam!!

Idk a lot of gay stories don’t have that type of restraint to meet characters where they’re at. It hits different to spend a lot of time with a character before the like. Gay Story part of things comes out, it makes them feel more believable. I love it.

I get what you're saying and why you enjoy it, for me though having experienced so many years of "Will they, Won't they?" in media (a lot of long running TV shows did it poorly) it drives me a bit crazy when it happens. Especially since same sex couples still often don't go all the way in various media, sometimes the writers even hit reverse as hard as possible after a certain point.

It's part of why I'm glad that there's various stories that jump right into it, so I don't have to worry the whole time. Though the build up to a relationship can be good, I'd say mostly if there's satisfying pay off. Which luckily it definitely was satisfying here.

If you consider how long the story has actually been so far, given we're only partway through volume 4, the feeling is simply exacerbated by the relatively slow release schedule of four pages a week over several years. Once the anime adaptation hits, it will only take ten or so episodes for them to kiss and start dating.

Yeah I think the adaption pacing will feel good if it's well handled. That's often a funny contrast when watching varied anime adaptions, with how anime only fans get a very different experience and they get the story at an express rate generally speaking, because they usually don't have wait years for various important events to hit, or at least it's a faster pace of content release than the source material usually.

Mf got so much Rizz it overflows into the negative.

Her passive seduction bonus is so high she literally can't fail with disadvantage.

Why she hot?

That was super effective. :D

Haunted houses and yuri the best combination

American football lol

Say what you will, but Mitsuki is rocking that uniform.

Thank you Rehashed Scans for bringing this to us - really appreciate it.

Not that I'm complaining, but isn't it a little bit early for an Autumn 2025 special?

Aya is weak to hand. Critical hit.

oh they both have such a thing for hands

Part for me laments that the author didn't just make this story set in an American high school. They very clearly wanted to theme the story around that setting, and I often get a little surprised when I'm reminded this story is supposed to be set in Japan. They story also feels somewhat limited by this, as the author needed to make some kind of excuse for why a Japanese highschool would be hosting a prom, so I wonder why they didn't just change the setting.

I feel like the only other yuri story I've centered around teens in the US was I Love Amy, so it would've been cool to have such a unique setting for this series.

I could be wrong but from what I remember the author is American / Japanese, so she probably went for a mix of cultures because of having a personal connection to both.

She is Japanese but spent some school age years in an English speaking country because of her dad’s work. I don’t think she specified which country, but she’s fluent in English from that. You can see how some of Mitsuki not fitting in, retreating into music, being fluent in English, risk of disappearing overseas and so on might have been some self insert on her part.

I dug out the article where she talked a bit more about living overseas and moving to places where she couldn't speak the language, watching Glee, and being very particular about how she draws Mitsuki's hands. Everything is intentional with the hands.

And here's another one that was partially eaten by a paywall before wayback machine came in with the assist. She talks a little bit about her own sexuality and liking people with gaps and creating the types she likes.

And in the CD liner notes there's so more details about her love of western music and movies.
