I believe there was another chapter of this out there, but ai guess not translated? Or maybe this really is it, which would be a shame.

I will be crushed if this ends and protag still doesn't have that contact info. At least this time she's gotta get her name, right?

Even more Girls' Arcadia!? Awesome! I loved the new installments. Follow-up with the main couple - great! Catching up with the former best friend - also great (not too angsty for my liking)! New, adult life couple - so good (although class rep might've benefitted from the glasses when not working)! And lastly, the (too) rare and elusive gyaru yuri, something we definitely need more of - excellent (though too short). Overall, if this is it, it was a great ride and I hope the author revisits at least the side couples at some point down the road.

I really like this author, but each upload has done less for me so far. I hope we see more from this author and I hope the stories keep their uniqueness. Having some with more upbeat tones wouldn't be bad, but I've enjoyed the melancholy quite a bit.

Didn't love it like "30 Minutes," but it was still good. Not sure how I felt about the story overall, but I do enjoy the hopeful ending.

What an oddly specific tag...

Looking at the series on the artist's pixiv you can do a pretty good job of piecing the story together even without knowing Japanese. Seems to get kinda dark and I'm not sure what to make of the most recent 3-page epilogue(?), but it doesn't feel like a particularly good end. Chapters 4 and 5 also seem to be rewrites of 1-3, but maybe they're actually alternate possibilities. Hard to say without knowing what's being said.

So glad I decided to read this one tonight. Easily one of my favorites in recent memory. I wish I could obliterate an apple at the mere mention of violence against my wifey.

Still my gold standard for newly forming relationships in yuri with the first two chapters and great content for when they have been together a while with the extras and 3rd and 4th chapters. Hopefully there will be more one day and I'll be able to continue enjoying this great couple.

Reading it a second time it is worth noting that both characters are putting on the accessories that were gifted to them from one another right at the start, so it seems their relationship has progressed pretty far, but it might still be rather new since neither one knows how serious the other is and so they're testing the waters on the way to the train. Hat girl definitely seems too shy to communicate what she wants while watch girl seems either annoyed or otherwise offput by the uncertainty of the situation, resulting in a lot of dancing around what they both really want. Watch girl seems to piece it together first and shifts to wanting hat girl to be more open about her feelings, so it really comes off as a story that both recognizes the difficulties of open communication while still advocating for it. I really like this one and how it is a yuri story that is more universal, since anyone in a relationship where they aren't living with their partner can relate.

I still love this series even though we're getting away from the original couple. I think Kana's story, while not the most original, has a lot to say about how different people experience love. Yoriko very well could have been in love with her, but couldn't wait any longer to see if the feeling was mutual and Kana very obviously wasn't aware of anything more between them. I hope Mao and Kana can be happy together and that the other co-worker isn't too messed up by Kana's weird post-confession, loveless kiss. If there's more to the series it'd be nice to get a group date by the end of it all, but anything would be nice after all of the good story we have already gotten.

i can't imagine EVERYONE who finds their attractions to kids are too happy about it themselves

This is a very good point that I'm sure many are unaware of or simply not willing to consider. It will never be ok for an adult and a child to have a romantic relationship together (nor should it be), but that does not stop people from being attracted to who they are attracted to. More focus should be given to things that help protect children from the real predators while not demonizing those who never act on their unfortunate attractions.

I'm not a huge fan of this ending for multiple reasons, but I do get the message and feelings being conveyed. That said, I'm fairly certain that teenagers are far more dependent on others than flowers, just sayin'.

Maybe the ex will at least add some intrigue, but I almost wish she would steal Liz back and at least give this lovely tomboy a chance at happiness with someone better.

I'm not one to normally quote myself, but now that this has been shown to be a possibility, I want it more than ever. Liz is horrible and I am really disappointed that she has taken over as our POV character lately. This series is a shell of its former self and I am currently hate-reading in the hopes that it can turn back to being enjoyable.

I am interested in where this is going. I kinda hope that there's a supernatural twist and all of the creepy, ominous phrases used by Tayama actually turn out to mean something more than just "she speaks eccentrically." That said, it would kinda be a bummer if she weren't still the "bad guy," considering how horribly she treats our protagonist. I'll follow this one for now and hope for the best. At the very least, I really like the character designs.

I read it pretty much the same as Beefaroni. Early on Sasha noticed something off about the bite and if the two were supposed to change at the same time it is very clear that Origa was not being made into a vampire, but rather a meal. Sasha, having fallen in love with Origa, forced her to escape so that at least she could live a normal, mortal life. The master's nighttime visit was likely about eating Origa.

Scottish trainer and Marnie are definitely both tops. I really want to see how they work around that

Nah, Marnie only thinks she's a top.

@Phemon That made my day, thanks! I might have to start following that artist in case they do more.

@Ghostrama13 I think you meant to use the term sapient there. They are definitely sentient, as they are alive.

So.... Did anyone like, notice RioxKurea Cameo? They were the chicks who called Natsumi to lunch, right? The ones from Ume Maru's Secret Shakespear? Am I the only one who saw that???

Mitsuki, the teacher from Moon and Sunflower, was also mentioned as scolding Natsumi for forgetting an assignment. I love authors whose characters show up across works in a shared universe. That way you can have one-shots that flesh out the core characters and they become developed background characters for future one-shots.

Nice to see the art club members from "Sketch From the Heart" show up here. This story was nice, but I still think that one gave me more of what I wanted out of it.

Wait, that last page: "gal x yuri anthology"
I need to find the other stories from this anthology! Gal yuri is so hard to come by!

Could this maybe be a love triangle (Like anju->manami->shishido->anju) or is my yuri googles strapped on too tight?

I think you're onto something. Anju may have decided not to turn Manami because Manami had already fallen for Shishido at that point. And that may have been Shishido's plan to keep Anju from having the companion she actually wanted, allowing her to stay with her as her sole companion. At least that's the feeling I got.

I can't say I have a ton of problems with the story being told or the character representations (I've read far worse on both fronts), but I will say I didn't enjoy this read. There were some good lines of dialogue and I liked the art, but overall it didn't do much for me except make me want to read more enjoyable doujins instead. So "meh," I guess?

Probably doesn't need mentioning, but this is a bonus story following the characters from a previous work simply titled "Hao!" which is also available to read on this site.
