jakan1234's theory makes sense. Although No-Rae was the first to become aware of her feelings, I believe Seol-A was attracted to No-Rae first,the flashback in chapter 39 is kind of a proof for that. For now, it looks like Seol-A's having a hard time to act like she normally does around No-Rae due to her own frustration, and No-Rae seems to be picking it up fast. If Seol-A keeps this act of hers maybe No-Rae will confront her and ask what is wrong, why is she behaving strangely, just like Seol-A did back then when No-Rae was running away from her. It could be a long ride for them or just a couple of chapters long. I'm just hoping that Seol-A won't try to escape her feelings, and date a random guy after this.

It took 39 chapters, an accident, and beating up a squash ball for Seol-A to finally realise her feelings. It will be kind of hilarious to watch the both of them (who are awfully aware about their feelings for each other) act around each other from now on xD

Now, who took off No-Rae's jacket? Was it No-Rae, or Seol-A? Or did it just slipped of No-Rae's shoulders when she was leaning to hug Seol-A?
Also, Seol-A's expression on the few last panels, was she surprised by No-Rae's hug, or did No-Rae's hug triggered something in her? like maybe Seol-A realising her feelings. I wish
The very last text, I wonder whose thoughts is it...tried to google translate it and got this "O fate, lend me thy strength. Anything we can barely look at myself"

Another wonderful art there Jaismot! Well done! I really love your art style, and that coloring is just wow OvO)b !!
I really love No-Rae's expression. It's as if she was saying "Touch her and you're dead", only it's with her eyes! xD

Marrying because you have to and not because you want to is just sad. To the bride, you're not wrong, you're just an asshole.

What did Keiko said in the original for "Ran baby". Did they use the English "baby" as well.

No, she said Ran-chaaan. At the end she said Ran-sama for Miss Ran.

Oh that is actually rather illuminating for me in that i get the meaning of "Ran-sama" in that context better than "Miss Ran". The former accentuates Keiko's fangirl mode, haha.

Same for "Ran-chaaan" - it now gives me the sense that Keiko was being clingy/attention-seeking, rather than a "heeeey baby" vibe.

"Sama" is the more formal and politer version of "san", and it is used to address a person with a higher status and when you need to be very polite. "San" is similar to "Mr, Mrs,and Ms" in English and is often translated to that, but there's no similar way to address "sama" in english. Translating honorifics is pretty difficult since it is not the same in every language, what translators can do is to find the one with the closest meaning to the language they are translating it to, or sometimes not translate it at all if they can't find anything close to its meaning. That is why most of the times it does not really deliver the meaning, nuance or feeling of a particular word that well (if my sentence makes any sense). So, you're not wrong if you get the meaning "Ran-sama" in that context better than "Miss-Ran".Sorry for the long post. Do correct me if I'm wrong >.<...

When I read the "Ran~chan" , it gives me the "honey/baby I'm home...I got you something" vibe xD

Anyway, In this chapter they really look more like a married couple with Ran as the husband, I mean look at how comfortable they are with each other! And I feel really bad for the roach. Ran beat it up real good....

No-Rae's last smile. That last scene before No-Rae hops on the bus is the kind of scene that happens before someone dies. Well I'm just hoping that Ssamba won't pull the "amnesia" kind of drama. Oh and we still have that wedding invitation mystery.

The accident happened at around 9.30pm. No-Rae's supposed to get off work at around 8.00pm, but she said that she might get off a little later than that. So, maybe No-Rae did not answer the call because she is still at work, and will later call Seol-A. Another possibility is that No-Rae's walking back home from the station with that blue umbrella Seol-A gave her. Well the last 2 possibilities is either No-Rae was on that bus and is among those 20 injured people, or she is among the 3 people who died, and that blue umbrella will be used to identify No-Rae's belonging. But come one, SSmba's not that cruel right? No-Rae must be safe, and will soon return to Seol-A's arms.

Oh my...Now I'm wondering what role will that blue umbrella play here. I don't think Ssmba put it there for nothing. For now, I'm just gonna brace myself for whatever drama hopefully no tragedy to come next week.

Gunjo, Pieta, Octave, Free Soul, Sweet Lovin Baby, Indigo Blue, and Love My Life are my all time favorite. For pure fluff, I'll go with Kase-san and Legally Married Yuri Couple Book. For NSFW, I will recommend my favorite series, Maka Maka. The art, story, and the sexy scene are just great.

@Jaismot
Damn' your art is beautiful. That "...hard for me" is brilliant. I really love your colouring style, and the shading. It's awesome!

The reveal of Tomo being a pimp comes from nowhere and clashes so bad with the story themes that comes off like being added just for drama's sake

Yes, I agree with you on that. I get it that she probably included it for the sake of the scene where Ai talks about love at the ariport, but a pimp? It feels forced...Shuninta kind of failed to pull it off this time, the drama.

That's her brother.

Really? From how it's drawn, I was pretty sure that it's a she.

I am not a fan of the ending...I would be okay with the ending if it ended when Tomo left. That after story, to me, was kind of shitty...especially the appearance of a new character who resembles Tomo Why can't it just be Tomo. I really enjoyed the story, but not very much the ending.

You can view the chapter for free until those dates

So Harumin's big sis will be the source of drama for the next chapter(s), and is it just me or does the big sis look like Mei with short hair and bigger boobs?

No-Rae's mind was occupied by the thoughts of Seol-A that she accidentally sat on Seol-A's lap xD and that back hug!!! Now, since No-Rae already got her feelings sorted, at least for now, will the story start to focus on Seol-A next? I wonder...

Ran actually kissed Keiko but told her that it was just her fingers That is what I want to believe xD

Do confident lesbians with solid gaydar like Ayuna actually exist? x.x Or is it just a convenient manga thing?

Can't imagine anyone being so completely solid on their guess of someone else's orientation.

^ Maybe not as solid as Ayuna, but I've known a person who is a confident lesbian with an almost solid gaydar and also a jerk like Ayuna

@Martian @Underachiever007 No-rae's previous relationship was with a guy. Both of them are not at an 'identity crisis' teenage age or 'middle-age' crisis. That's why I was surprised by how fast No-rae accepted what she's feeling (if we consider those ambiguous questions towards her oppa is her, asking about homosexuality). This is not about realizing it from an early age.

I believe you missed my point there, since I don't remember mentioning anything about crisis or early age. I am well aware that No-Rae's past relationship was with a guy, that's exactly why I said that it takes time to accept the feeling. No matter how old you are, it takes time when it comes to accepting your feelings first time you realised you are attracted to the person of the same sex. However, it does not take a lot of time to realise your feelings. Realising ones feeling doesn't always mean accepting . From her conversation with her brother, it seems that No-Rae has yet to accept that feeling, or else she wouldn't be asking such question. Oh and I do recall reacting to your previous post about how fast No-Rae noticed her feelings, not how fast she accept it.

No-rae also said that Ji-Hwan has a 'good neck' on one of the chapter. At one point, I started to think that she's bi. But then, the next chapter is back to all shojou-ai. Maybe this is how Samba likes to tease his/her readers LOL

If you read the interview with Ssmba, you should know that there should be no doubt, and a little teasing would make the story more interesting don't you think so.

For a conservative christian society like South Korea (Lady Gaga got kicked out and wasn't allowed to perform before), No-rae seems to noticed her feelings a bit too fast.>

IMHO living in a conservative society has anything to do with how fast a person notice their feelings, especially if you have already experienced the same feeling before, it wouldn't take anytime to notice it (It would take time to accept it though).
