^ I see it as a "I have to let her know before it's too late" kind of thing; the woman being hugged looks a little surprised. The colors in this are subtle and rich.

This is beautiful

Yoshida is so cute in this chapter. She's always beautiful, but she's adorable here.

This is incredible! The epic field trip comes alive.

For those who don't know: This is from chapter 128.

This is wrong. Don't throw out true love.

Dream Tomoko, be sure not to compliment her vag, at least until it's time.

And the coloration

DAMN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

^ That's a very good differential diagnosis.

^ You're right! I'm really worried after the last chapter. It's No More Nice Girl for Nemo. Tomoko has crosshairs on her. But to mess with Tomoko is to mess with Asuka. What a series.

^^^ There's also the teacher's "You know your stuff" and Ucchi's shaken-up look.

^ How dare you?

^ A season somehow covering the Kyoto class trip through the sports festival would be more than enough for me. My favorite part in the sports festival is where Tomoko goes through the living hell of being partnered up with the first two guys her age she's ever touched. Her comment on having to go with the second: "This would be like stuffing my face with a tempura rice bowl when I've already got heartburn from eating a pork cutlet bowl." This leads to a mind break, which she cures by wandering around watching girls cheer and looking up girls' skirts and checking out their panties. She may also have been getting points of reference in terms of "pretty pink color."

^ Maybe so. I can imagine two endings: (1) Horribly, she loses all her friends and winds up where she started or (2) she chooses which of her friends she's going to stick with (whatever that might mean) and goes to college or stays behind with them. In other words, a Maria Watches Over Us ending. The fact is, she's bi, so any direction she takes will probably be confusing and ambiguous for a while.

About the "Het Threat" -

It's been 145 chapters. Not one substantial male character except for Tomoki has appeared. It's all been about Tomoko's evolution from a loner to the member of a large group of endearing girls. The series likely will end with the end of this school year. It will probably not end up being explicitly yuri, but it's not yuri-baiting either. Its current focus is on the essence of female friendship. It's a distant and twisted cousin of Maria Watches Over Us, that way. Why worry about a het turn?

Lovely

I love the weird eyes this artist draws.

Nemo's skirt is inviting another vag compliment from Tomoko, and that could get ugly. It's ugly enough already.

AWWWWWW

They left a pairing out, up there.

It's nice to see the sweet Nemo, because in the series she's scary at the moment.

If you want this ship, this is pretty sweet.

It's nice that Koto got a word in.

What's ironic is that Ucchi has never been more openly and passionately needed than at that moment, but the opposite seems true to her. What a riot.

People do a whole lot more than kissing in libraries. I'll vouch for that.

Typical married couple

^^ The Yoshida/Mako relationship is emerging from tiny brushstrokes of sweetness and purity.
