Poor Yuu. This is the perfect representation of their respective emotional states till chapter 35.

This was one gloomy read, but I don't feel sad. The presentation is so neat(as always)! The way it's all presented... Touko and Yuu feeling the pain of separation, each of them gradually moving towards realizing the importance of the other in their life, of their bond... is just WOW. IMHO, this way of getting MCs back together is significantly better than some unpolished love-triangle-jealousy method widely used by many. Nakatani's storytelling si simply amazing.

Our heroines have come a long way since they first met, Touko is no longer her insecure self and Yuu is finally recognizing the nature of her love, I think what's happening in this chapter will eventually be a good thing for them both. Unless the author is specifically aiming for a tragic end, they should be able to move past this obstruction in their relation given some time, and quite possibly a little help from their friends/family.

Well, there's no such thing as too much LWA.

I imagined a more deep and authoritative voice for Touko...

Her voice is good enough during normal conversations IMO. I don't think Touko is supposed to come off as intimidating and authoritative, but rather friendly and charismatic. Also, wouldn't a more authoritative voice work against her "hidden cute side"?

I'm pretty sure the person you quoted was being sarcastic XP

Now that you mention it... uuu, I really need to start using my brain before I use my fingers :S

My suggestion :
1. Fluttering feelings
2.Maison de maid
3. WDTFS .Drama but well explained than citrus.
4. Blooming sequence.
5.Beloved
6. Her shim-choeng

Excellent list!

Never heard of the sixth one though :. What's it about? and where did you read it?

The way I look at it is Hotaru from NTR and Mel fill the same space in terms of a charater that is redeemed near or at the end. Except Hotaru really did get developed heavly and even reverted to her true personallity at the end. Hotaru sends the message that sometimes you create the monster that makes your life more difficult. Mel had no setup for her actions she just kinda did stuff with no real reason to.

Well I think that unpredictability in her actions was also a part of her charm initially. Mei appeared quite enigmatic during the first few chapters and that made many of us root for Yuzu to uncover Mei's troubles and help her solve them. I don't exactly hate Mei like many here seem to, I'm just disappointed at her stunted character dev till the end. She was a troubled and flawed character with a ton of potential to grow, but the author decided to laze off and we got what we have now. Ultimately, those of us who're a bit irked by the last chapter aren't dissatisfied by the ending imo, but the route the series took to get to that end.

We know from the first chapters that her net worth is fairly high so it wasnt for money. Mel is very aware of the mutual love so its not because she thinks she is holding Yuzu down. Mel was even given what is basically full controll of her own life so theres noone telling her to not be gay. How was there even drama in the firstplace? What kind of message does Mel send? If you have money, a lover, and full controll of your future dont go off and marry some random guy with less money then you.

Uh... what? :D

What's a yuri manhwa? Tried googling it but all it gave me is a list of recommended yuri anime or manga, which brings me back to Japanese stuff too. Nothing about Korean yuri? I'm curious to see how Korean comics are like, since I don't like their k-drama at all for being too melodramatic and cliche all the time lol.

Manhua is just Korean term for comic. I'm not sure I agree with StarKnight's sentiment about Korean authors handling yuri content so much better. But then again, I haven't read that many yuri manhuas.

Fluttering feelings is one of my favs, and the first one that comes to mind. Story and character development is fantastic. It's not complete but still enjoyable. Dynasty only has 18 out of 68 available chapters, unfortunately. You'll have to look up other sites. The Love Doctor is also worth reading IMO. It's available on Lezhin, and the series has already concluded so ou can binge it on your free time. Pulse is another complete series you can check out. Art quality is above the clouds, but... let's just say Ratana Satis isn't the most talented of authors so if you lose interest midway and want to save your money.... These are all I can think of atm. I haven't been following any manhua recently as the content you get weekly feel insubstantial compared to most manga.

Has Maki always been taller than Umi? I can't remember.

So, in the end I got the happy ending that I wanted. Still, I can't help but feel slightly cheated about the whole thing.
This does feel all sorts of rushed, I wonder if I would have felt this way if Bloom had ended at chapter 34.

100% agree with this. What bothers me is how Sabu uses timeskips to avoid dealing with real hurdles, which, had the manga focused on earlier chapters methodically, would've made a much better read. Instead, the causes of cheap drama like love triangles and lack of communication lingered on over the majority of the capters. It really seems like timeskip is Saburouta's nuclear solution to everything.

The story does give reasons for her to think all these factors would be a problem, but the fact that NONE of the problems turn out to be real really decrease her credibility as a character.

And this. I must say the author ruined Mei's character royally. She had so much potential to shine during earlier chapters (and especially after Ch 24), the way she turned out is a letdown of epic proportions.

I have no idea why some people insist on insinuating this is gay in some way, it is perfectly normal for girls to cry happy tears when other girls call them nice

Yeah. It's a bit too prevalent here. But that might just be an indication of how much the readers want these two to be a thing.

Personally, I think the friendship between the two main girls is really cute and adorable. If it grows into something more, it's a cherry on top, but the series is already golden as it is right now.

I absolutely love it when a series comes in a long chapter format even if it means very infrequent updates.

Same here! I tend to enjoy things less in pieces, so lengthy chapters are always appreciated.

Loving Minakata's art style. Yuu in particular, turned out amazing.

About that relationship chart at the beginning... It's great and all, but...

Agreed. The chart doesn't quite represent the relations perfectly. It's handy for a quick look, but they could've used more than one colour for those not-so-explicit relationships.

Finally :’)

Indeed :)

A sweet 50-pages chapter! Honami sensei seemed to struggle quite a bit to keep Koyuki distracted throughuot the morning. Wasn't expecting that. :D

I'm wondering how many chapters the anime will cover. The pacing in the manga doesn't give the impression that there's much room for further improvement. It'd be quite a tragedy if the plot is rushed. Almost as worrisome would be a "go read the manga" ending.

Kodama Naoko is a premature ejaculator writer.

Lmao, totally agree.

Although I don't see Miyata being bullied all 24 hrs of the day. She still has the upper hand while at work and seeing how she handled Nagao earlier, she can swing the situation right back if she wills so. At home though, it'll be a different story ;).

Damn I want more of these two.

Awww.... just when it was getting good. I feel this could've gone at least 2-3 chapters further before Nagao accepted Miyata's love.
