How have I not previously noticed this little gem? It feels like each chapter is about a totally different MC with Touma-kun as a secondary character connecting them all.

"If we had to resign for something like that, this room would have been empty a long time ago." -- And Touma-kun is so dense, she probably has no idea.

I don't think it's just that she was "accommodating." Yotsuba looked downright excited to be parting ways. I can see why Yume might have felt like she wasn't wanted, or like there was someone else in Yotsuba's life. In a sense, there was. Just another story of drama resulting from lack of communication.

Although, for Takemiya Jin, this was unusually low on angst and high on sweet. I'll take a half-dozen more of these, thank you.

not lizard

Beat me to it. XD

Just to toss in another idea here-- When I saw the "pure yuri" comment, I wasn't thinking in terms of "lesbian relationship" but rather Yuri as a genre. I feel like the goal of yuri stories is often to represent girl-girl relationships as something pure or chaste...at least, in some publications. Which, as others have pointed out, could well be a holdover from an earlier era, where stories that stepped over that line always seemed to end in tragedy.

Honestly, knowing this author's works, I never expected it to go beyond subtext -- some underlying feelings which never quite come to bloom. But the anime has really been playing up the yuri-esque aspects of their relationship. Kind of startling how overt the signals there have gotten.

Huh. I think this is the first time Kay has outright failed a job.

Also, with that last statement, I can't see things ending well for Watanabe. Kay just said that having too much fun in his line of work will get him killed quicker (which makes a lot of sense, it's a good way to get sloppy or take unneeded risks) and now you have Mr. Wig pointing out that he's treating the whole thing like a game.

I'm still not sure if she was telling the truth about her charge dying. But, yeah, it sure felt like Whatanoobe was raising death flags. Nothing good can come from a haircut like that.

Nee, does anyone have a full-sized version of the cover page to this story? The image on the landing page is really sexy, but I couldn't find it in any of the chapters.

what the hell is top kek

I believe that's the tag formerly known as Yuri.

I have failed the know-your-memes quiz.

She should have her lip checked on if it hurts so bad she can barely eat anything. A small wound on the lip is not THAT bad.

Seriously, I was starting to expect a Supernatural twist.

Tell me the author didn't just introduce a rival. Can I please get through one good series without a freakin' rival?

I think the best part of this was that reference to Eiko and Leeza on the last page. That made me laugh. The rest just made me feel kinda ... woogly -- butterflies, discomfort, and dread all rolled together.

I think Asaki x Tsune will always be one of my favorite pairings.

Thus, a new credit card commercial was born.

and that's exactly one of the many reasons why twins don't like being twins. i have seen many twins in my life and none of them enjoyed the fact that they were twins..though only in anime they portray that twins like to be together...

I've knows several twins who enjoyed being twins. In high school, there was a pair that would trade off classes. One would attend both math classes while the other would take both English classes because their aptitudes were different. Another couple, in their 40s, would always go to the same salon at the same time to get their hair done to make sure they'd look the same.

I this case, though, I think the title implies something different: these girls enjoy being with each other precisely because it feels like they are spending time with themselves.

Signs all over the Thai airports...Banned hazardous items: guns, knives, corrosive chemicals, explosives, and ... durian. Makes me wonder a little about their tastes.

Nearly two years. I was starting to lose faith. Thank you for continuing this series!

So, now we know. Sort of.

For a moment, I thought I was reading Magan&Danai.

"...molybdenum, molybdenum, molybdenum..."

Also, did anyone else read this to the tune of "Modern Major General" (a.k.a., the Elements Song)?

The title of the collection, Incomplete Girl, should be a pretty good indication of what you're getting into with these stories. They're definitely on the more bitter side of bittersweet. Enjoyable as an herb, not as a meal.

Damn. Now you've got me wanting to read chapters 3 through 111.

"Sequel" seems overstated. At best, it takes place in the same school as Drumcan Hyakkei. (And maybe a cameo if Onjou=Honjou.) There's not like a shared universe tag, is there? No? Oh, well.

When my kid was diagnosed with Asperger's in high school, one of the first things I told them was, "When someone asks how you are doing, they don't actually want to know." It was like a light turned on and so many of their awkward interactions suddenly made sense. As someone who wasn't diagnosed, I was probably in my thirties before I figured out that I should just respond "good," "fine," "great," and neither give nor expect a real response.

I'm glad to see something like this. Almost wish they'd make it school curriculum. Almost.

Liking Ena. Not liking Mishio; character feels cliché. And what do you want to bet that the substitute nurse is her old flame? It doesn't look like a serial, so at least the potential for drawn-out drama is limited.
