I think Asuka just for some reason really wants to be close to tomoko, but tomoko's idol complex towards her kind of puts a barrier between them. Asuka's trying to relate on her stuff, picking schools together, studying together, its not working. Asuka's logic seems to be: "oh, you did (lewd thing) with your 'real friends?' Well do it with me too so we can be friends." But she's coming on too strong, and it just pushes Tomoko back.

This is definitely the right read of their relationship but I think that romantic interest os the only possible explanation for Asuka's actions that isn't contrived to some degree.

My poor heart.

Oh Yurika, I've missed you so much.

Carry on my Wayward Son intensifies.

I just realized that Tomoko is thinking of Asuka's melons in the sixth panel.

^^^^^ The comments on several manga sites reveal that a lot of people would rather have their brains blown out than admit that Asuka and Tomoko are in some kind of yuri dance together. What do they need? Does Tomoko have to wrestle Asuka onto the ground and go down on her?

Reminds me of the people that said that Valkyrie Drive wasn't a yuri show. Seemingly women sexually pleasuring other women was something straight girls did wherever those people came from.

Is kind of amazing how Asuka has gotten progressively gayer both in the manga proper and in fanart.

Translation for chapter 155 is out.

Well, they're hearing their girl being bad mouthed. What kind of girlfriends would they be if they let that pass?

Well, Asuka did seem ready to cut a bitch when she thought Nemo had hit Tomoko for no reason.

Asuka suddenly reminds me of Nikaidou. :D

Well, a popular theory is that Tadakoro, Nikaido and Bully-chan are based on Tomoko, Asuka and Minami, respectively.

Ah, I think I didn't explained myself correctly. I meant more pages of the FuukaMoko doujin, not the chapter itself.

We'll see I guess.

Also, there's more pages at the artist's twitter

Untranslated of course.

Sounds like a fun chapter. I don't get the reason for any concerns regarding Asuka though.

After chapter 153 in the manga, I can totally see Katou pulling this.

Chapter 153 put this doujin in a whole new light.

So uh, are we missing a chapter or the author went off a tangent without solving the mystery of Asuka's senpai?

Asuka is best girl and best suitor for Tomoko.

No wonder she's making Minami float too.

Can we take our eyes away from the incredibly hot lesbian sex going for a sec to ponder what the hell is going on with Asuka's left leg?

See? Classic Shounen friendship move.

That bears almost no relation to the character as first presented in this series--for all her psychological and emotional dysfunction, Mei was explicitly defined as super-competent (to the point that she was de facto running the school), and she was very used to interacting with adults in public.
Agreed. Her super competent side was highly appealing, and her jealous angry side was what made their interactions so great to read. Now she is shown to have been a "broken bird" all along. Is Citrus turning into conventional yuri? lol

Hum, did you guys forgot Citrus already? Yes, Mei was shown to be über competent on most tasks but she was consistently depicted to be emotionally stunted and having no idea on how socializing with others outside very specific contexts. Her behavior here is just a natural extension to the Mei that thought Yuzu's notebook was an infallible guide for the perfect date.

Anyways, I must say that we're lucky we have such a talented and dedicated fan artist for the series

You know, Nikaido "straightening up" Kirigaya just with her words is the kind of over the top shonen nonsense I've come to expect from her.

Dunno what the hell you guys are going on about Meibot, these chapters are showing us a previously unseen side of her and making clear how much Yuzu has changed her for good. Old Mei would never asked for help so the fact she's doing it now out of concern for Yuzu is a tremendous grow for her character.

The worst I can say about her is that she's taking some roundabouts steps in supporting Yuzu, but baby steps, for someone who never really had a good grasp on social conventions, she's doing way better than I waould've gave credit for.

It does?
