I'll have what she's having ;-)

this made me cry it was beautiful and cute and perf

ditto!

welp, that left little for the imagination. actually, the transition from sweet to saucy was.... ummm..... not bad, but not good.

So on a scale of 5 bullet vibes, I'll give it 2 vibes with a pair of leopard print cuffs just for jumping right to the NSFW part in an unrestrained manner.

(OK, OK. I'll stick to my day job and leave the jokes to the professionals!)

there... are... Yuri games? nawwwww! * LOL *

actually that sounds awesome given that I've never played one. any suggestions for a virgin gamer?

Well ... Fuck, that was sad. But i am really loving these characters! I really like how Maasa is trying to push Meru to achieve and learn to value & love herself. I hope to god that their ship sets sail soon!! <3

Ya know I never even thought that Massa might be trying to "help" Meru. If she is trying to help Meru, then her rough, overly abraisive personality completely masks that fact.

So let me pose a question to everyone. "If" Massa is trying to "help" Meru gain confidence and self worth, why the hell did Massa put Meru in a situation where she had little choice but to sign an outrageously costly contract where she (Meru) is indebted to Massa for the foreseeable future? IMHO that is a sh&tty way to help someone, and if that is Massa's idea of tough love, then she could have caused more harm than good towards Meru. So your thoughts?

Well, it is so realistic. Some relationships work, some don’t, some are easy to be in, and others are hard to deal with.

+1 - ain't that the truth!

Umm... molester play? umm...

finally, has anyone figured out what Massa does and/or what her major is? I see that she is well off. I also take it that she runs a company or something of that nature. right now her character has had the fewest background side stories, so she is still a bit of a mystery.

Back when Meru firsts runs off to her place, Maasa is (I think, I have to reread) sitting in front of a ton of computer screens, so I'm guessing something computer science/IT related. Although, I'm really hoping that she turns out to be a hacker. That'd be hilarious.

Or maybe she's just monitoring her stocks, with her background I guess she's into finance. But yeah, maybe she's a hacker underneath that too lol

I thought Computer Science when I first posted this question a few months ago. That or a detective agency. But with that Einstein looking fellow calling her Massa-sama, I wonder if she's an ojousama and maybe those monitor screens from the previous chapter are related to her or her family's business. At any rate, I wish she and Meru would just realize they like one another, and of course I still think she's a tool for the way she treats Meru. But this is all my opinion.

I'm kinda hoping one of the next chapters gives more background on Massa. She is the most mysterious and secretive of the bunch. I'd like to understand why she is so focused on money.

I'll be honest. Asuna may not be the greatest of people and she has problems to work out.

Her character has been the first to admit that, but then again, each character in this story has a major personality deficit, so I wouldn't completely hold Asuna's personality flaw against her. I kinda like the fact that she has the capacity to be gritty. It's not a bad thing unless she is like that ALL the time.

But I take major issue with the way they "broke up" this chapter. Fueko and Asuna genuinely still liked each other and after a genuine apology cry session there isn't anything stopping them from trying to work things out. I disagree with Sacchan's remark about Fue being an adult. She didn't do anything but continue to run from her problems in the end, EVEN IF SHE WORKED THEM OUT with Asuna she still scrambled after they made up. Fighting through those problems is what relationships are supposed to do.

Fueko is still a child and IMO she realizes that. That is why she disagreed when she Sacchan said she was being adult about the whole issue. However, the fact that she did go talk to Asuna was an adult-like thing to do which means that she is growing up.

I understand the concept of not being able to "complete one another" but things don't add up. Fue loved Asuna but didn't completely know her more...problematic side which is part of Asuna. But you can't completely be in love with someone unless you know all parts of them. However in the end she wanted to make things work and came to work things out. Which means she came to terms with it and still loved Asuna. But then she ran away from her love in the end. But then does that mean she really loved her? But she came back to help out Asuna which means she did. But...

Do you see where I'm going with this? A loop-styled plot hole that has no place existing as the conclusion to their story.

Again, IMO it's not a complete loop-styled plot because 'but then she deleted Asuna's contact information.' At that point, Fueko was trying to break the cycle. Does that mean that some other event will happen and force Asuna and Fueko back together or at least make them interact with one another? Sure it could happen, but for now, they can each concentrate on themselves.

It might just be me....but this new chapter...made no sense...Thought they broke up already. Not even sure what Fue is thinking at all. Was Asuna lying about being that way or what? Because it was a sudden change even though she said she'd always been like that. Are they planning on getting back together again in the future or is Fue moving on? Did Ruki and Sacchan do it? I don't fucking know. This chapter was just weird. None of it made sense.

with respect to Asuna and Fue, the chapter was about closure. who knows, they very well could get back together in the future, but for now they need to go their separate ways. As to Ruki and Sacchan, I don't think they "did" anything. it looks like Sacchan agreed to take the next train, so we will have to wait and see.

actually, I'm with Nezchan if she's being serious, cuz i'm unfamiliar with other communities. unless /u (???) counts.

Wow, now the story can pivot to the next situation.

Ya know, I feel bad for Asuna, but I also feel hopeful for her. it sucks falling in love with someone that cannot fully return your feelings, but sometimes it is better to break off all contact and move on.

arrgh, why is Massa such a tool towards Meru? sure she let Meru stay with her, but then turned around and charged her a fee. Tool!

finally, has anyone figured out what Massa does and/or what her major is? I see that she is well off. I also take it that she runs a company or something of that nature. right now her character has had the fewest background side stories, so she is still a bit of a mystery.

any thoughts?

well that was different.

I'm torn. nice story, but possible cheating ? sigh!

@JusySayHerName - we don't know for sure that the husbands know the wives are having an affair.

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/chouchou_nannan_ch02#21

does this mean that Chihiro and Shino are also doing kissing and touching thingy with each other?

wouldn't be surprised if it turned out they were an item.

wow, now I'm rooting for Nao and Aoi. I hope Nao continues to bully Aoi with more kisses.

I know I'm nit-picking, but why not call the wind instrument club the wind ensemble or music ensemble club?

don't bash me too hard. i do realize it's that way because the mangaka wrote it that way. i am just nit-picking because it sounds strange to someone who was a band nerd and was in different types my music groups.

hohoho, I wonder how long this battle will last...damn

couple of chapters maybe.

speculating here, but I think Matsuri is going to use this "date" plus the other recordings/pictures to blackmail Mei. I keep wondering it Matsuri will publish this "evidence" for all to see under the assumption that it would cause Yuzu to turn from Mei or send only to Yuzu. More so, would she publish publically out of spite and with the intention of causing maximum damage?

Now if she does publish the pictures and/or any other "evidence" from this upcoming date, it would certainly cause embarrassment for Mei and most likely cause her to have to relinquish any positions of authority. That might be good for a Yuzu-Mei (YuMe) relationship as it would 1) release Mei from the chains of authority, 2) pull Yuzu even closer to Mei, and 3) prompt Yuzu to figure out why Mei was put in such a situation and who put her in that predictamemt. Finally, it might cause Mei to relax even more than she has over the last few chapters. Because as I have reread the last 3 chapters, I see that Mei's personality has improved 10-fold compared to the first 5 chapters. But then again, this is only specution on my part.

I really wish there were more releases like this. it's the perfect mix of fluff, sweetness, and all-around feel-goodness (is that even a word? oh well)

Their interactions are extremely cute. I say it's worth reading even if it does not take the extra step, but if this is laying the groundwork for when they get together then it will have been so worth it.

I agree. Even without yuri the interaction between the two is still fun to read and makes me giggle everytime.

yup and on the last page last panel ( http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/stretch_ch24#9), instead of a pig-in-the-blanket, we get a Ran-in-the-blanket. Too too funny.

whoa, the scanlators must be working overtime. I wasn't expecting a new release until next month.

but let's be fair, Kisaragi isn't a pervert. She is just overly infatuated with Beniko ;-)

You might be right, but here are some of the things she's done in the first two volumes. (If you read the summaries in chapter 25, you'll see most of those things) Tried to force Beniko to agree to date her if she won the marathon. Went through Beniko's trash on the morning of valentines day and got into a fist fight with Tsumugi when Tsumugi caught her at it. Stalked Beniko that same day to see who she gave chocolate to (Tsumugi did too). Made the claim that she always knows were Beniko is.Forced a kiss onto Beniko after accidentally (apparently) pushing her down. That will do for a start. It seems she is a kind person, but she does get awfully carried away over Beniko, and I'm not at all certain that she stands clear of the pervert label because of that (though I probably wouldn't have called her that).

I'll have to get or try to get vols. 1 and 2. thanks for filling me in :-)

lol, Kisaragi is a hoot! her declaration of love for Beniko reminds me of a scene from "Crazy, Stupid, Love" where the son of Steve Carell's character announces his love for his next door neighbor at his middle school graduation.

but let's be fair, Kisaragi isn't a pervert. She is just overly infatuated with Beniko ;-)

I find pretty amusing how melodramatic most of the comments are considering all the critics about the series being melodramatic :P

DT - true. but let's be clear, this chapter IS sensational and this particular narrative IS over-the-top with the goal of getting this type of reaction from the reader. all in all, I'd say mission accomplished.

Exactly I'm 75% sure that girl in the beggining is the date. Why would they pass her with her friend talking about weather Mei is lost or not. she saids Mei is beautiful not to mention Saburouta only focuses on characters involve such as the little brats who help take the picture. It's not going to be a guy because Its a yuri from the yuri magazine yuri hime only focuses on Yuri.

@Bay - you're probably right, but 1) I really want to see both Yuzu and Mei bitch slap Matsuri! and 2) I would love for Yuzu to tell Matsuri in no uncertain terms that she only sees her as a little sister thus prompting Matsuri to show her true colors. OK, then a second round of bitch slapping for good measure :-)

I feel ya Kyonne.

And whoever has dug into this treasure trove of new works (at least to this reader) by unbelievably amazing mangaka (this by Takamiya Jin and Ayame 14 by Amano Shuninta), thank you so very much!
