At this point, Kaede has to know how Akina feels and is just trolling her.

At this point, the author has to know how the reader feels and is just trolling them (us).

Finally ch. 6 is here! And with the recent turn of events, Akari is almost to the Sea of Angst. Can't wait for the next chapter!

This one's starting to go places. At this pace we might reach Harem-city at oh-awesome-thirty.

Just remember to stop there or you might end up at Friendsville.

The raw version of Tomodachi Login had completed few years ago and there's no love confession at all. Same as Rico Haru.

Thank you for the info. Now I don't have to bother myself waiting for it's next update.

Now what role Kaoru's presence is gonna play in that, I don't know. Going by their Twitter, Canno had planned to introduce this character from the start, so I guess they did it for a reason.

Well, Kaoru's character is in a prickly situation. Judging from the author's own art Yurine and Ayaka are destined to be together. Furthermore, it would not make any sense for Yurine herself to take an interest in Kaoru. Yurine doesn't like it when people treat her like some kind of goddess, and Kaoru is giving that worship vibe. If Yurine did take an interest it'd be kinda "WTH" on her development.

The way I see it, Kaoru is a plot device that will make GTG realize her own feelings for Yurine. Besides, judging from ch. 19, she has her own problems to deal with.

Hey Lyendith, I felt like this kind of needed it's own post because it's unrelated to the current story discussion, but still related to this story.

Are there any plans to translate the mini-page stories on Canno's blog? The blog hasn't been updated in forever, but it's all Mizuki/Moe and Ayaka/Yurine stuff. I feel like I may have posted it before but it seems to have gotten buried. It includes this gem:

Grope

(Apparently Ayaka is a D cup and Yurine is a C? And Yurine can tell cup sizes from groping? Such talent.)

Despite some faults this story might have I still really like it! Thanks a bunch for translating, Lyendith! :D I'm glad it's catching on. If there are no plans to translate these it's perfectly fine; I am quite happy with the main story material.

So Yurine's smaller than GTG's? That means GTG has finally beaten Yurine in something.

So that was great, but what exactly was the purpose of the not yaoi tag?

In this case, it's to inform readers that there are male characters in the manga (though it's only a short at the end), and one of them just blushes at the other, thus it's not yaoi. Definitely not yaoi. Yep, there's no yaoi here. Just a guy blushing from another guy holding his hand and their foreheads touching. Perfectly normal for a senpai & a kouhai.

What?! Tomodachi Login?! Has it ended?

Don't worry, it hasn't. Although I suspect it may suffer a similar fate as this.

Edit: It has ended, and my hunch was correct.

I reread Shiramine and Kurosawa's chapters and I'm just kinda like...wait...there actually was some deep stuff going on. When on earth is that going to be resolved?

The main conflict is that Shiramine wants to be special to Kurosawa aside from their competition. Kurosawa started to think about this in Chapter 12 but then she saw her registration form outside the window (what the heck, I know).

Shiramine resists actually liking Kurosawa because Kurosawa has led her to believe that what is between them is really, really shallow (and therefore, from that point of view, it is a terrible idea to fall for Kurosawa. Terrible and stupid). Kurosawa needs to rethink her motivations and then be serious with Shiramine or they're not going to get anywhere.

So I'd say it's a rare case of the tsundere NOT being the one preventing the relationship from continuing. Shiramine is being a tsundere to protect herself from what she perceives, and rightfully so, as a bad idea. It's pretty much the ultimate way to lose, especially considering how Kurosawa comes on to her (the closest to NSFW we've ever gotten I think) and the way it implies that she would like to get physical (as in, claim your body or dominance = winning).

I was actually really surprised upon rereading that it was this way. I think I got used to the tsundere being the relationship roadblock, instead of a genius airhead who is giving the wrong impression.

Can anyone else go back and reread to see if it was the same for you?

The way I see it, Yurine just wanted someone who could match her, and our Generic Tsundere Girl here just happens to have an obession with being the best & hates to lose. Thus, Yurine was attracted to her. While I think Yurine's character is a bit dull since she hardly tries anything yet she never loses, it's not the main issue; Generic Tsundere Girl is. See, Generic Tsundere Girl (who doesn't have any experience in romance) acts all tsundere around Yurine as a reaction to Yurine's advances, which is no problem at all. I love tsundere characters. However, the problem with Generic Tsundere Girl is that, ever since Yurine became attracted to her, she became a shallow character; her hard-working personality was overshadowed by her tsundere personality (which is very weak). So, yes, I share your opinion that Generic Tsundere Girl's tsundereness is something that is a bother, and should be dealt with swiftly.

P.S. : Shikinami from "A Doujin Where Shikinami Became the Secretary Ship" is a good example of a good tsundere, which Generic Tsundere Girl should look up to as a model.

That's it? All those years of waiting and this is the end? Can't say I like it, it felt like it ended too soon.

What are you talking about? There are 2 main couples: Yurine x Ayaka and Mizu x Moe. They're both on the covers of volume 1.

Yurine...? Oh! You mean that girl who was Mizu's rival for a bit! I remember her. She was interesting. Didn't really get what she was about, though. Some kind of slacker prodigy? Maybe the author will write about her at some point. Would first have to expand her character a bunch, though. She's too obviously a side character, just being unmotivated and good at stuff like that, she'd need more depth to her if she was going to carry a chapter or two.

Weird that she was on the V1 cover alone, though. Putting a side character front and centre like that is strange enough, but when it's just her standing next to some bland empty space, the whole image just looks unfinished. Especially when we already have such vibrant and interesting protagonists like Mizu and Moe.

Don't forget another of our prominent support character, Ayaka, who is the stereotypical tsundere and has almost no character development. I think I remembered I used to laughed and grinned at her tsundere antics since I loved tsundere but now, I feel nothing when she's acting all tsundere. Poor lass has been demoted from a support character to a dull running gag, and that is quite sad.

Who's Ayaka? Gale said there's some bland empty space next to Yurine. Maybe the author should introduce this new character Ayaka in there. Then maybe we'll see a good side couple

You see, there was supposed to be an Ayaka in the series. She was originally intended to be the rival/ lover to Yurine with a personality and good character development; however, the author thought that the series was a bit to similar to Comprehensive Tovarisch, so they scrapped Ayaka and replaced her with a... something that is equivalent to a typical tsundere in a typical harem anime. That is, blushing furiously at any act of romance/ kindness that Yurine showed to her.

This was a good story. I'm glad it ended so well for the main characters.

...

These two were the main characters, right?

...

I can't remember anything else about this manga except something about wanting to win at a race and then these two splitting up and then finally coming back together and omygod I think there were other characters and other storylines...

...

Gosh I love these two characters. What a great manga! So sad to see it come to an end!

These two are (sadly) not the main couple; they're one of the many side couples. Ch. 20 is a closing act to their story, not the entire manga.

The best & gayest chapter in the whole series yet, period. MizuMoe once again proves they deserved to be the main couple.
