That's... the first time I see the "covered up text" thing used for drama rather than comedy. >.> Her last wall of denial is just a little push away from shattering. On one hand it might seem a little selfish for Yuu to change Touko so that she can finally admit her own feelings, but on the other hand Touko is still by far the more selfish of the two. "You're a jerk, Senpai", indeed.

^^ You make it sound like you'd be happy to see her cry. XD

Hmm… Does the request form work for uploading single images? I'd like to have the character chart on the series' page if possible…

Well, each arc that features them does make their relationship evolve bit by bit, so it keeps me hooked. If there could be such arcs a bit more often, that would be nice, though. A couple chapters every two volumes is too little. =[

Edit: The French chap is up. Mostly a Yurine chapter. Where she cries.

Heh. :þ

Chapter 31 preview.

Back to the gardening club with Yurine, Ayaka, Yukina, and a new girl.

I don't know what manga it's from, but I want to read it. >.>

Looking at Mei from Citrus… no, Kuudere aren't always for the win. If she counts as Kuudere.

Chiharu definitely is though. =3

I want a girlfriend like Itsuki ._.

I'd honestly react like Sawa in that panel if I had a girlfriend like Itsuki. >.> She's adorable in her mad love, yes, but still a tad creepy.

These chapters are too damn short. TT__TT

Touko learning of different side of her sister might be a good thing for her actually. Maybe she'll realize she doesn't need to be perfect either and start to be more… herself. I'm not sure how that will affect her relationship with Yuu though. Yuu might be afraid of losing her "place" if that happened.

It seems like even though no one is outright bizarre/abusive like the Cider and Crybaby couple, Canno likes adding some weird mental stuff to her couples in this too.

Yeah, Yurine, Moe, Izumi, Yukina, Itsuki… I love their little quirks. =3

30.5 should be up tomorrow.

Rumours say that Sawa's skull cells are cultivated to build prison walls and bank vaults.

Mizuki or Chiharu?

Senoo "I-Propose-in-Yukata-under-Fireworks-with-a-Big-Damn-Kiss-in-a-Summer-Festival" Mizuki. Though yeah, Chiharu must still be wondering what that flower shower in chapter 26 was all about.

Next chap's preview is up by the way. =O As usual between two volumes, it's an extra. About Sawa and Itsuki.

I can't help but imagine Mizuki coughing at the last panel. XD

Izumi really needs to hide that bike of hers. People had already gotten hurt because of it.

Think about it, though − that means Ryou and Amane knew each other thanks to Izumi!

what font is used for the normal dialogue and floating text/narration?

Suplexmentary Comics for normal text, Dupree for floating text, Komika Text Kaps for boxes.

…I'd read that.

edit: Volume 6 is out. Not a lot of omake this time, unfortunately. =[ But anyway, I'll release it when I can.

I only read the pilot but yeah it's… special. XD

Now I wonder how the latest AnoKiss arc would have turned out if written by Yoshimura…

Amane has pink hair?

^ In the volume's cover her hair is brown

And it was silver in the chap 26 cover… So she's a mutant it seems.

Oh my god wait there's a bunch of Hinakos behind Ayaka

What are they? =O I'm not familiar with that author…

Y'know it seems like Canno's stories always have good ideas, but she always seems to mess them up just a little bit, and include at least one frustrating element that you wish had been different. I wonder if this is due to poor planning, or some kind of intended irony?

Well, she did say she wasn't very good at planning ahead. Not sure if it's in general or even within the arcs though. Her insistence in doing only short arcs is more crippling than a lack of planning I think.

Bonus goodies.

I choked when I saw who was the author of the last image. XD

…True, they're in Winter apparently, so that might be the next event. =O Losing Mizuki might actually be a good catalyst for Ayaka's development.

Next volume is odd-numbered, so it should be half about them. Probably.

Anyway, updated the chart.

…So, after polyamory, Canno will tackle the untrodden territory of girl × honey crepe romance, huh.

…Well at least this arc succeeded in springing up a lot of discussions. X)

Except she did exactly that with Izumi. Amane shows no dedication at all to the girls she likes. Even with Nina, Amane is completely fine with breaking up as long as it's what Nina wanted.

She was ready to break up with Nina if they both realized things weren't gonna work, that doesn't mean she wanted it to happen. Amane doesn't want to force anyone to agree with her views. Izumi had no intention to, so there was no point in pursuing her.

Yes, I didn't mean that she doesn't care. I agree with that too.

I don't feel Amane to be flighty at all and I do not think that any girl will do for her. We just need to see more of what she sees in Nina and Ryou.

And Izumi… She did say that her red ribbon to Ryou was her "third" one in chap 28. Apparently Amane is the kind to observe the girls that pique her interest in silence for a while before reaching out to them.

If we do have extra material for these girls, I don't expect them to fall apart at least. That just wouldn't like Canno to do that. But they certainly need to be solidified, like Chiharu and Izumi were.

Yeah, the last chapter definitely felt rushed. I think it's all summed up in the phonecall scene, which breaks the "show don't tell" rule that Canno usually follows pretty well. It felt like "here's the situation explained in a couple pages because we don't have time for more."

After reading chap 28 and 29 a couple more times, I found it easier to believe Nina and Ryou's relationship, and Canno established things pretty well in just 60 pages. But chap 30, eeh... it definitely would have needed more fleshing out. Still, in terms of dynamic, I do think the trio is pretty nicely balanced at the end.

Now maybe the additional content in the tankoubon will polish things a little bit, as it did for volume 4.

Oh, you mean the first version in Koveras' quote. But yeah, I won't bother with the Little Theater characters. >.< I don't really count those as part of the cast.

^^ Kay, let's do that then.

last edited at Mar 19, 2017 7:36PM

That's the whole cast actually. >.>

Anyway, the redrawer is late, so I'm thinking about releasing an LQ version of chapter 30, and then I'd release the redrawn version later…
