I had a point I wanted to get to and a way to get to it but I forgot both, so that's fun. In any case, I knew Asako would have some gaps to bridge and issues with her past, but goddamnit that was some shit. The way I'm reading it, feeling that everything she does is a mistake, she basically entirely lost her self-confidence and/or self-worth, and that fucking sucks. It also felt bizarrely personal, as I've had similar experiences to these the resulted in pretty much the same, I guess that's why I read it that way.

I didn't expect Miyako to go all-out the way she did, definitely not so early/quickly, but I'm all for it. I'm also a big fan of how the two of them actually talked about still living together because it could've been rude or unfair otherwise, and I'm really looking forward to see how things develop.

...habit of picking emotionally unavailable people, and she's also been afraid to communicate her own needs...

I wouldn't say that it's a habit as much as it was an unfortunate side effect/result of the way she's fallen for people. One of the issues was that she's definitely tried to communicate, but said unavailabilities affected her, making her insecure and afraid, leading to where she is now emotionally.

...But I also think the very reason she hasn't fallen for Miyako yet (even if she's attracted to her looks) is that Miyako pays a lot more attention to her needs than she's used to from a partner. As if it's hard for her to break out of the pattern, and embrace the relative unknown.

I've been of a similar opinion for a while, though before I simply thought Asako viewed Miyako more as a "child" than as a woman, or in other words, she'd need to recognize Miyako as a potential partner and not as the 'cute girl I happen to live with', now it makes more sense to think that she just doesn't know what to do with someone who actually pays attention to her and actively displays affection toward her (also fucking oof). One of the things I'm looking forward to most is seeing the story navigate this particular part of Asako's issues, especially now that it's clear to her in no uncertain terms that Miyako is a potential partner.

Man, all this teasing. Asumi and Senpai need to get together at least once.

...Ouka is into hard BDSM...

...heard the girl's screams... and later noticed she had bad rope burns on her wrists.

Firstly - noice. But in seriousness, I don't really think this matters much. Even if the two were to get together they wouldn't jump straight (heh) into each others' deepest kinks, right? At the very least, Ouka certainly would know which buttons to push and when. Also I don't think they were bad burns but definitely marks, and Asumi still was curious, so hey, it's a non-zero chance in my book.

...Don't be weird, managing and accounting is dry work...

Assuming this is also directed at my comment, I truly wasn't trying to be weird or make anything bigger than it is. It was simply a particular detail that caught my attention.

Man, all this teasing. Asumi and Senpai need to get together at least once. But also part of me hopes Senpai's number 1 fan comes back at some point, though a bit less stalky if she does. Also more Serina, I'd like even more of her. I'd be really amused if she learned who Asumi's senpai is.

As an aside, for some reason, it bothers me that their boss seems to have been a dude. Like, not enough to lose sleep over, but enough to actively comment about it. That is all.

Shoutout to Hanser from KimiShinu fan server for doing a wonderful job coloring the kissing scene: https://twitter.com/k_5201314/status/1586215952274034689

Wow, this is phenomenal.

On the other hand, holy fucking shit I feel the storm brewing, and I am terrified.

I've been feeling this too for the last few chapters, then nothing bad happened... Definitely worry about next chapter, now that Mimi's been called out to the war again...

To paraphrase ones wiser than myself - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Unrelated edit - I cannot get over how good everything from the hug to the kiss and the end of the chapter is. I was honestly as flabbergasted as Shiina was, and also absolutely delighted.

On the one hand, holy shit. Like, the entirety of the chapter was top-shelf romance, and the kiss was absolutely fantastic; page 27 is so good! Mimi pulling out the silky smooth moves was not on my bingo card, but holy do I approve.

On the other hand, holy fucking shit I feel the storm brewing, and I am terrified.

I loved this bit of the pre-serialization, and I adore how it was expanded upon. So goddamn cute; definitely one of the better things to wake up to.

Huuuh now this is interesting, i dig it~
Also, would it automatically count as incest when one of the maids is masturbating, since she's inevitably gonna pleasure her sister in the process as well? And i expect Mia as the resident mega pervert wouldn't mind/get off on the fact too.

I think I'd consider this incest if one of them masturbates specifically so that the other would get off, otherwise it's really just masturbating.

Nice ;3c

Wholeheartedly concur. This seems like it's gonna be a lot of fun. I need the mistress and the Chloe to get together.

"That really felt like you were confessing your love, though!"

HMM YEAH IT SURE DID FEEL THAT WAY DIDN'T IT

I sure am glad you two are SUCH GOOD GAL PALS THOUGH, it's SUPER NORMAL for a girl to think of her lady friend when she's trying to simulate a look of lovestruckness, YES, FOR SURE.

Saying all that while interlocking fingers with Mei, which we all know is the absolutest friendliestest symbol of friendship. Part of me feels like Riri was trying to say something else, but I'm not quite sure what...

She's so adorable though, oh my god.

In any case, great chapter. I really like how the series balances having all the girls around and developing their characters. Also page 108 is perfection. It really spoke to my soul.

I was really hoping, that Riri's manager would notice Riri practically being conjoined with Mei, and especially after interrogating Mei realize what's what, and somehow end up with Mei being part of the photoshoot(s). I'm still hoping this happens.

I'm expecting Minato's proposal to be a singular date rather than going steady, but we'll see where that leads.

"I'm 14 and in 2nd year of middle school!"... I knew beat-for-beat that this would happen and how, but still somehow was surprised. Also amused, very amused. And looking at the author's other works was an "oh... that..." moment of its own. I do not know what to expect, but I say fuck it - go big or go home. Either case, I will most probably be amused.

Some of the stuff in these two chapters were like a kick in the nuts, especially Hinako finally asserting herself and then immediately feeling guilt over that as well as her thoughts as a child about lightening her parent's burden, but it's great to see how well it all turned out being. Mother really ended up being surprisingly supportive and caring even despite her exhaustion, or rather it really was that she was just that - exhausted. Like the comments above have mentioned, I'm a big fan of how unique the approach to these tropes has been.

Other than that, it's great seeing the various loose ends being tied and how things have progressed both in Asahi's life and in Hinako's life, there's one major issue to really tackle and that's that, sadly. It's stupidly heartwarming for me to see that the two are constantly thinking of each other so openly as compared to earlier chapters.

I keep thinking that next chapter is the last one and I get upset lol. I really just want it to continue.

...wondering how she...

Is the author a woman? Didn't find an answer on my quick search on that. I kinda feel like this seems like I'm trying to start shit; not my intention, simply personal curiosity.

In any case, this chapter was absolutely gorgeous to a level where my heart legit skipped a beat, and at this point almost a given, but also absolutely adorable. I hope this series never ends.

I'm a filthy casual who watched the anime in 2014 but I jumped straight into this extra chapter. Well, good to know they progressed after all this time. XD

Pretty much the same here. Thinking about it, it's kinda amusing, since the anime was pretty much my gateway into yuri, and a major reason I was drawn to yuri if nothing else, but I haven't gotten around to reading anything but the extras. Wouldn't say either of us is a filthy casual though, lol.

I'm a fan of these random-ass chapters coming out. Hoping to see more of those.

Somehow I can see them as adult Akebi Komichi and Erika. Lovely.

Erika is faraway after their graduation while Komichi patiently waits for her in the small town where Ryoubai situated.

Can partly see that too. Not a bad thought, honestly.

Loved the one shot, Inori was figured out from the first moment, girl was mesmerized.Tamaki calling her out was wildly amusing. Really do hope for a sequel, not necessarily half a year from the publication of this one, but it would be fitting if so.

I understood nothing that happened or was said in chapter 5, or the entirety of this manga, really, but there's something strangely hot about this, it's like a turn off brain enjoy lewd kinda deal, and I'm okay with that.

Hit me with that good shit. Big fan of Kurumi straight up saying she was jealous, and they even had the name conversation with some adorable back and forth. Also the nose pinch, oh my god that was so cute. I also like how Rio gets along well with both Ruriko and Kurumi, and that she genuinely seems like a mostly well-intended airhead more than anything else. I'm still hoping that at some point she goes something like "so did you do the deed yet?" but that probably isn't the flavor this story aims for.

Really wish this would've kept going, but I'm more than content with how it turned out. This has been a wonderful read - fluff that hits all the right spots, and there's something about Yatosaki Haru's style that hits differently for me in a way that is both entrancing and enrapturing. Their character designs and general art style ooze affection and warmth, but also have this intimate tension or edge to them that gets all the good butterflies going and juices flowing. Hoping to see more of them in the near future.

There is a lot to unpack from this chapter. Out of all things I expected the childhood friend to manifest as, openly going along with Nadeshiko's ideas/fantasies and openly admitting to having been in love with Akane both without a moment's hesitation was not one of them, and I'm absolutely loving it. Nadeshiko at the start was going "childhood friend... age gap..." like she was listing tags which made the following fantasies all the more amusing. It also raises the question what the fuck is the age gap exactly? Seems like 4 to 6 years or something like that?

The entire chapter was a bombardment of information and jokes, but Akane going "you can leave the wedding speech to me" was such like a goddamn truck. Such a big fucking oof. Almost feel bad for laughing as hard as I was.

Lastly, I'm not going to lie, this isn't my preferred endgame for this series, but I'd really like at least one threesome to happen. Because why the fuck not? Also this chapter's depictions of threesome were really hot, and I'd like at least a full chapter of that.

I've been loving Yodokawa's works, so more of it is great. I love Yamada already, she seems like she can be a little gremlin which is always fun, and I feel like she and Aoi will bounce off each other really nicely. As far as yuri goes, in my eyes, it almost definitely will have some romance; hard to explain and it really is too early considering it's the first chapter, but there are little things that combined with prior knowledge of the author's works make it the obvious conclusion, but it remains to be seen.

That said, I will be infinitely amused if the next chapter rolls around and it starts with them waking next to one another in bed.

Great first session for the Council of Gay. The synchronization and chemistry between Hatomori and Ruri are on point and it's simply glorious. I also love how even through the snark they both still care and fully support Miyako. I'm curious about Asako's reaction to the birthday thing, looking forward to seeing this develop. Also why on earth would this be on the news to begin with lol.

Kasumi is very cute...

...If Aizawa x Michi doesn't work (because ghosts must ascend to afterlife) then I'm staunchly rooting for Michi x Kasumi.

Same here. Still hoping for the good ol' machina, but Kasumi's adorable and makes the heart waver.

One of the best smugs I've had the pleasure of witnessing in recent times. Also good lord this is so adorable I'm melting here.

Yuri coaching is a full-time job in case of Idiot couples, you know.

I really want the yuri coaching tag to be a thing.

I was sure Nanao would mention Asumi to Ena by name...

I was dying for this to happen, but yeah. Honestly, I think I can say I actually prefer how things panned out.

I loved every single thing about this chapter. Seeing Nanao as this nervous trainwreck start to open up and discover things about her physicality and her feelings, and also about sex in general and this whole new world she's learned about, and Ena being an absolute sweetheart, incredibly supportive and non-judgmental, and I also loved seeing how much she changed since her first appearance, and I loved the wholesome physical intimacy that actually made some of the scenes really hot, it's also somewhat of a breath of fresh air to see something that feels so... I don't know, healthy?

One thing that really stood out to me was that Ena at some point was dying to touch Nanao, and I feel like in any other story they would've gone with the usual "I can't hold back any longer" schtick, but here the story here found a way to sort of have the best of both worlds that felt organic and fitting and actually pretty clever, and it was just an incredible moment in its own regardless. Also, "let's save that for her" was an amazing moment that had me audibly "awww"ing. Simply incredible.

One thing that I question myself is what exactly is the direction of the story, with Nanao seemingly becoming either a secondary protagonist or simply a prominent character that was getting some fleshing out (heh), but in truth, with how simply good every flavor the series tried to dip in has been, how good the presentation, fleshing out, execution, everything, for all I care they could be piloting space-mechs in defense of our solar system and I'd still be enraptured and pretty much in love. I'm incredibly looking forward to seeing what happens with Nanao now that she has a bit more of a concrete understanding of her feelings and desires. I kinda feel like if one wasn't on this ship before, it's hard to not want to board it now.

That's unf--... how about the mom with the cousin... huh

First thing that popped into my mind. But also... Kinda want the oyakodon. Kinda really badly.

Do not worry, the Council of Gay is here to help you with your Gay

I adore this and want this as a concept in any and every series henceforth. Big fan of this chapter's convening of the Council of Gay.

I'm definitely of the opinion that Yuzu simply means something along the lines of knowing Hinori the least. It's definitely not romantic in essence, either case. Part of me agrees about this being a cheap shot/easy low hanging fruit, but I'm not that bitter about it

Two things that caught my eye in particular in this chapter:

Page 16 had a singular page focused on Tsubasa. A scrutinizing look, perhaps has some jealousy behind it? Doubtful, really, but maybe it will come into play at some point. There was a similarly "ominous" panel focusing on Hinori earlier on that hasn't gone anywhere as of yet, so maybe it's just a filler.

Minami is constantly leaking big horny energy and I am a big fan of that. I'm really hoping that the horny energy gets its payoff at some point. Or really that the series just touches (heh) more on physical intimacy, I feel that it'll be very fitting.
