Meru - Gluttony
Fue - Sloth
Asuna - Lust
Maasa - Pride
Envy - Ruki
Wrath - Remi
Greed - Sacchan as of the most recently translated chapter

I don't know who said it first, or if it even matters, but that was actually pointed out first here on Dee~ by RocKstar on 01/08/14

Is it just me? Or do the 7 main characters represent each of the 7 deadly sins? Hmmmm...

Then expounded by lildevilinhell the next day

I'm guessing this how I would categorize them... lol... Though honestly, some of them don't fit in the category to perfectly.

Lust - Asuna
Gluttony - Meru
Greed - Remi
Sloth - Fue
Wrath - Sacchan
Envy - Ruki
Pride - Maasa

Found the comments here http://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/1250-the-feelings-we-all-must-endure-discussion?page=7
Comparing the two, there's a switch bet. Sacchan and Remi

Just would like to share this YT list of awesome and funny HxB parodies here for those are interested. Check out the video of their animated commercial 8 years ago, parodies, mini drama, and Jun x Yuho videos <3

Since I really love Takemiya Jin's works, thought you might want to find out about her too, just like me.
So here http://okazu.yuricon.com/2013/06/02/interview-with-yuri-manga-artist-takemiya-jin/
I think if we really like one artist, let's put into use the designated discussion for the authors, so as not to be dumped among the manga comments.
Because really, Takemiya-sensei \w/

"Serves you right, baby" and "Sorry Baby" both sound like titles for Space Dandy episodes.

I'm not familiar with Space Dandy so I've done some research and I've read that it's a sci-fi comedy. One thing that relates me to it is that under the Recommendations area, Gintama's listed and it is said that they are somehow similar. That I could relate to. Anyway, of course those title's above are in mock to the original title of the manga.

Wait....she had leggings on....WHERE DID THEY GO (last page)

had to scan the panel, but the leggings look like the black blob in front of the beer cans that are next to Ran.

Looks like Keiko's coat to me, her being the ever Senpai to Ran and as a level-headed girl that she is. She could've put it over to Ran knowing her habit when drunk (which of course for me has some other meaning and behind the back scenes ~stolen kiss? doki doki

I've actually pretty much created my own second shot of this, wherein Wada-san (The Babyzoned) got promoted to another office, and there she met her fated one. Then when Ochiai-san (The Babyzoner) saw her with her partner being lovey-dovey moe together, that's when she realized that she'd just averted her eyes from her true feelings because of a dark past. So, the tables have turned around this time. But Wada-san really loves her wifu, and has already moved on. Wada-san's pov is the manga's last dialogue saying "Serves you right, baby."

By the way, the title is either that or Sorry Baby (smug)

Indeed. But then, why not approach her and have a casual conversation? I don't get Japanese people sometimes.

Its hard to start a conversation sometimes. I think I understand how that feels.

plus maybe considering sociocultural factors.
but the protagonist sure is slick for that matter, I really find the last panel sexy and flirty

Lemme doing acad stuff, accidentally I clicked the DS tab, t'was on the forum page. Then there's a new comment.
MY GAWDDDY! It's been updated! Now rage comments are coming!!! Mini Heart-Attack Fudges dude

I just figured bear was codename for lesbian. But hey, I know nuthing.

Well... For Yaoi the real life/eastern equivalent of Bara would be Bear, mainly to describe some fat hairy dudes, so i imagine that girl could be quite haOH GOD THE MENTAL IMAGE

what does "haOH" mean? all I could think about is hydroxide (OH^−) ... sorry if that's such a stupid thing to ask. lol

This might as be be called "The Witch's Lips" (double pun there, that is her being a lip-service woman and as soemone suggested, after she kisses Matsuri, grins like an idiot, can I squeel?). That's coming from the mind-set of Natsuko in the author's previous manga A Witch's Hand

Don't worry Asagao! You might be on 21, but that just means when you 2 become 1, someday, surely

In short, chapter 17 is all about redefining how to simulate a pajama party: yuri + ala Higurashi way!

Thanks. Here's my wonderful self-made doujin of them.

wow Now it's a ship ? thanks. Morinaga, what a keeper. :))

I couldn't help myself. Who wouldn't want to ship one of their favorite mangakas with an international supermodel?

I'm glad you guys like my art. I think I'll start selling prints. I'll send them to Morinaga as well. She and Freja might frame it in their love nest.

That moment! Dang. I almost spilled my saliva on the keyboard from laughing.
Seriously, I'll be your number one fan! And I'm sure you'll be the new top yuri mangaka if you do so.

And of course the tying of the scarf trope shouldn't be missed <3

request for this to be here. please xD

My. My. My. Goodness. Gracious. Maria-sama!
This is such a classic yuri Onee-sama trope that just never gets old.
Can't help but stupidly grin while imagining Satsuki as Sachiko!
This reminds me of this particular scene in Marimite:

"By the way, Yumi."
After school, as they walked over the fallen gingko leaves, Sachiko-sama spoke with mischievous eyes.
"From now on, if you call me 'Sachiko-sama,' I won't reply."
"What?"
"Because. You're not trying to change what you call me."
And with that, Sachiko-sama turned her back to Yumi and kept walking. She'd said what she wanted to say, after all.
"Sachiko-samaaa"
Even though she chased after her, she held steadfastly to her resolution.
"If you don't want to be ignored, address me properly."
You get it, don't you, she seemed to say, and she kept walking without even glancing behind her. Yumi played with her hair. It felt somewhat awkward.
"…e-sama."
"I didn't hear yoooou."
She was going to force Yumi to say it. Yumi looked around. Luckily, Maria-sama wasn't looking. "Onee-sama!"
Yumi's voice was awful clear in the middle of the gingko pathway. And then her onee-sama, as pretty as Maria-sama, turned around, answered with her own, clear "Yes?" and smiled, satisfied.

Kyah! Kyah! Kyah! Medic! Please call me a medic!

What was that NANA reference on their room number on chapter 15? Does this mean Shou-sensei is a fan of Nana? And if you're familiar with Nana, it isn't considered yuri but there's that very strong yuri vibe bet. Nana and Hachi (her name's Nana too), the two roommates.

And the way Keiko blushed when Ran wore her punk clothes! Thank you Sensei for teasing us more, for making our yuri hope gets higher with each new chapter

BTW, we have new secrets revealed: Keiko changes her fashion with every new partner, which might be due to her trying hard to fit and convince herself that she's straight (as to what Koneko pointed above). And Keiko's really taking care of Ran, huh. Just like what a lover does when her partner's in such a busy mode, typical yuri moves. But Keiko tries to conceal it by making those very straightforward notes, yeah we get it Keiko, you're definitely straight to damnation if you don't hurry up and confess to Ran.

So was that a flashback or a dream
I think it was a flashback
Definitively

Or it's a flashback within a dream that's why the muzzy mother, little boy and classmates, and that UMA

Dream interpretation:
-After hitting the boy, one seed survived the hit (one egg got fertilized after her sexual encounter with her boyfriend)

-So, she did everything for the seed to grow (for the baby to be healthy)

-But then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked err her flower was destroyed by that animal (abortion or since it was unexpected, it was a miscarriage)

-Her mother mocked her for getting all dirty and for crying over such petty thing (darn you mother! how could you say that because Keiko got pregrant she's not pure anymore. And for treating loosing a baby , a life like that!!)

-The boy eventually left her (the guy did not knew she was pregnant and when she told him, he broke off with her and acted like her mother (die you stupid guy! burn in hell with the mother!)

The two of them have a shared memory of going to the sea, and it seems like it was a good one that they aren't quite willing to talk about. A kiss, maybe?

I don't think so, if that's the case then Keiko wouldn't have the guts to ask "...How was it?" Seems like more of a tragic thing happened to Ran by the sea

Wild speculation based on very little time: What if there was a shared romantic experience at that time, but Keiko was in an arranged marriage that her mother wouldn't let her out of? That might explain not forgiving her.

Romantic experience shared with whom? The severity of Keiko's emotional state when she lied to her friend regarding forgiving her mother gives off a very heavy vibe in which with something like that as a reason doesn't quite fit. Though if it is, thank god it's not regarding one less life kind of thing (abortion or miscarriage)

If you mean with Ran, then they should have been back to what they are before.
Dang, this kind of tension is making me lose my focus in real life.

Wow, at last something to fulfill my dire thirst for more Kaede x Yuzu! Episode 9 was such a tease, it made me really want to see them more. Maybe including Kaede's siblings too, I can totally relate. And that Mikan-san thing, this manga is right on time.

So new details with chapter eleven are:
--> Keiko had a fiance AND SHE broke up with him shortly after New Year (that was 3 months ago, Golden week is in last day/s April-May)
--> She used to look after Ran during their high school and her reason, "She's just so adorable . . . I couldn't help it..." albeit she defended it as meant to be like a little sister. for now, let's accept her defense
--> Something happened that's why her friend Saki was worried about her
--> Keiko is the type of person who puts a tough front, meaning she doesn't let others know her true feelings, and she always changes the topic which may be due to that
--> She has issues with her mother, AND she's not ready to FORGIVE her yet (whew, such a heavy word)

Ambiguities:
--> Was she really engaged? Was her boyfriend really a boyfriend as in a man? Or was our yuri radar right? Our yuri has still a chance, hopefully
--> What really happened to Keiko?

With these, we can now add support to our list of speculations:
--> Keiko either had an abortion pressured by her mother that's why she can't forgive her
--> Or, considering risingstar3110's wild pokemon err speculation, Keiko really had a relationship with a woman before. And to add into that, they were forcefully separated by her mother

If you still can't see why we have this abortion thing, see Evilnemesis' arguments above

So far, we have these speculations:
1. Keiko had an abortion (see previous chapters)
2. Ran's father died as to why she's wearing funeral dress (went home during the Golden Week)
3. Keiko was either telling the truth regarding her love/sex life or just living up to other people's image of her

What else did I miss?
I wanna know what other speculations you can think of, it's more fun to anticipate things. As in the sexual response cycle, anticipation is like the arousal stage. lol.

"Don't go on porn sites, just go to bed." Words of wisdom, my friends. Words of wisdom.

Oh, but this is my kind of porn I can't resist every night!

I just took a Band and Ball PE last sem and we've done some of those stretches. Wish this came out back then, I might've enjoyed going to class all the more. Haha. Waiting for more yurifyng stretches.

Dang. Reading this is so frustrating. I so wanna read the next chapters. Too bad it's still abandoned along with these works by Tranquil Spring. Fist I've read the Tie Breaker and A Lollipop or A Bullet, and now this! :'( too bad I'm just someone who waits for releases and does nothing, more like can't do anything.

On another note, I really like Hime's hair. And those eyes. Just having those will make me happy instead. Kiyo being the VP with that kind of mysterious, playful personality makes me wanna know her more. So again, I wish there's MOARRR!
