Sofia went through a lot of emotional agony for Koko. That's love for some, I guess.

^ Yuri is in stealth mode, although she did quietly alert Asuka that she wants to go to Aoyama. "Lie in wait" is her motto.

^ Only going on an outing with Asuka could inspire Tomoko to wear that skirt.

"Never underestimate the mental strength of someone who has survived countless battles with shame!"

• Tomoko

^^ I second BugDevil. This is the gold standard in second-hand pain, when it's painful.

^^ It's impossible to completely understand what happens starting from ch. 69 on, Kyoto trip and beyond, without reading from ch. 20, when Tomoko has the life-changing, soul-saving experience of meeting an angelic senior, Imae Megumi, who quietly watches over and helps her.

Megumi is essential for understanding the journey toward love and open-heartedness that Tomoko begins in the series. I can't stress this enough. The conclusion of the Megumi story marks a moment of self-awareness that resonates forward for our sad mess of a heroine. If you miss the series from ch. 20 on, you in some ways miss the series.

And there's no shortage of cringe later on.

What was funny about that scene was that Tomoko seemed puzzled, more than anything, when Ucchi was sleeping / pretending to sleep on her shoulder. Ucchi made her big move on Tomoko during Tomoko's big day with Asuka. Bad timing.

^ It would be in the artist's archive, if so. There were some clever ones about the field trip, back in the day. I don't remember this one.

Hold back on telling Yuri she's a pretty pink color, Tomoko. You're in deep enough, already.

Another take on the field trip! Poor Ucchi, no rescue.

^ Minami x Satan

^ Tomoko and Yuri, Tomoko and Asuka, Yuri and Mako, Mako and Yoshida, and a couple of improbable triangles and an unthinkable foursome. Seems like there's someone for every combination.

^ There's a charming perversity in Asuka right now; I'm wondering what's up. But she definitely likes her little friend. On top of that, Yuri is accepting that relationship. Tens, hundreds, nay thousands of doujins and doujin-like lifeforms wait to spring forth.

Excellent! I liked Yoshida's face-pushing Yuri. This was funny. The three way handholding was terrific too. For those who may not know, this is playing on chapter 145.

^The end credits showing them in some kind of intimate friendship. That's it. Plus Akane being seductive with Rikka on a bus.

Awww

The cruelest trolling of them all.

^You won't regret it, once you make it through the brutal cringe comedy of the first part. This series is a classic, a really great one.

^^what TheYuriTomboy said. Minami is a vicious little weasel.

Serves Fang right.

^ She needs beams to shoot out of her head here.

It's very dangerous to cook barefoot, but God is that cute. Especially Mako being barefoot.

^ Absolutely true

I don't even slightly get this ship except for some hentai-like dominance and submission elements and a question of past history. And it's hard for me to shake the fact that no matter how cute and pitiable she is, Akane is a monster. But they certainly look beautiful together.
