Wow I am in pain from reading this, but I’m glad to read it now that theres an active scanlator again.

Hoping and praying for a happy ending where they find a way to make things work

Relaire with the fountain pen, what will they write?

Not romantic?? I will simply choose to ignore that.

Anyways this is a masterpiece, I already love all these characters so please get serialized, I wanna see more of the girls going on adventures

Ugh you’re right lol

I’m always very cautious to avoid “hobbies” that simply involve buying products at ridiculous price ranges to compare

Yodokawa has been getting a lot of love here recently huh

Even from chapter 1 it felt like she never really wanted to marry her boyfriend so im not surprised by this, but she really needs to figure this out before she hurts him, and herself even more

Somehow both more and less progress than I expected

is it just me or was this chapter gayer than the last 19 combined

I suppose it was the responsible choice to slow things down with Karin, but I wanted her to channel her inner Asumi and just go with the flow lol

To be fair Asumi went into her first time fully knowing that she was going to have sex

Surprisingly pure hearted despite the teenager levels of hormones constantly flowing

Hmmm, sleeping in the same bed you say? Why, you could even call it A Room for Two

Did anyone else notice that the kiss in extra chapter two is directly the inverse of the original one shot

Relationship development? In my long running 4koma serialization?

More likely than you think

Honestly, I can kind of understand why an author might not want to label their work as yuri, even if it technically would fall into that category. Yuri as a genre often feels somehow detached from wlw in real life...? (I can't explain it very well, but I think there are probably other people here who get what I mean). So it could be a way to free your work from readers' expectations. That said, I don't speak Japanese, so I have no idea what Agu actually said here, this was more of a general comment on the matter.

Well, going by Google Translate, Agu DOES mention that they like working with the themes of women and women’s love, so it might be exactly the case that the author doesn’t see in the works called “yuri” a depiction of wlw that they’d like to make or be associated with.
Here is the translated version (GT):

I also think it’s just Agu hoping the audience will not have the same expectations for the series that they have with works labelled as “Yuri”, that they wanna explore the story and making it something more than just f/f. But going by the author’s work, they do portray intimacy between women that is clearly not heterosexual, that’s the central theme of what i’ve seen by them. I would argue their work is what we could call down-to-earth/realistic yuri. It shows women sexuality and feelings between women the way it is. I am ofc going by “The Real Momoka” and the series just posted here on DS, both being previous works. Can they be called Yuri? Yeah, ofc. But at the end of the day they are about women’s love. Yuri is a genre, love between women is a topic. When you have a genre, certain patterns are expected and it’s ok if the author doesn’t really want to follow these…

isn't there a movement to kinda divorce "women's love" works from yuri? I agree here that from this section it sounds like the author doesn't want to be bound to the genre conventions of "yuri" and just write a queer story.

Gay gay homosexual gay

These two need to fuck already

Hmmmm the description says slutty but I’m getting the vibe that Utako is gonna be the “committed” one in the relationship which is a nice subversion to how the bisexual tag always ends up with the player tag

just regular platonic gal pal actions right here

I wish they would kiss

Chaotic gay

Aya: wow i finally fell for a guy now i can talk about love gossip with my friends!

the "guy":

I was also a bit confused by senpai "realizing what she wanted as thanks". Because of course she absolutely knew that the blonde wanted to be with her, so it must be something else. So my best guess is that the blonde wanted senpai to at least change, perhaps on her behalf specifically. After that incident the blonde takes a hit for senpai, she internally laments that afterwards absolutely nothing changed about senpai's behavior, or their relationship. It's not until much later that senpai reflects and literally takes a look at herself in the mirror. After changing, she sees herself unblemished by hickies & bruises, feels liberated for once, and finally understands what the blonde wanted. Just like the title implies, the blonde made her own mark on senpai, both literally with the hickey before leaving forever, and more importantly, figuratively with her permanent departure from senpai's life.

I disagree on what she wanted, I think it was less about changing and more about the "on her behalf". The blonde hated how if she died the black haired girl would move on immediately, and that she hadn't left a permanent mark on her life. So by ghosting her like this she left a mark on her much stronger than any of the hickies recieved, or to put it in meme terms she "lives rent free in her head" now.

So much pain in this chapter, I am very much looking forward to the reconciliation soon

This sure is a plot huh

Wowie that was some good tension right there
