Ah, this was wonderful, especially seeing the support of their friend and the hope in a new and better era for couples like them. ^_^

Heh, the school couple on page 16 and 17 make me really notice how similar Nanoha and Chidori from Hana Ni Arashi are to Akko and Mari from Girl Friends cause seeing them made me think of both couples.

Didn't really see that much Girl Friends in them, but just seeing the hairdo of the dark-haired one immediately made me think along the lines of "Chidori and Nanoha are dating, but it's a secret from everyone". :D

Always nice to see this pairing.

Looking through the list, under games the Mass Effect series needs to have Mass Effect: Andromeda added, featuring BioWare's usual variety of romance options, including lesbian/bisexual ones.

And while Star Wars: The Old Republic initially avoided same sex relationships, these have been available since its expansions, first only as short flings with side characters, but later also including proper relationships with actual companions.

Kind of reminds me of that discussion about Game of Thrones, in which people stated that foreshadowing was not equal to meaningful character development. Probably applies here as well.

Not really, seeing how it's been blatantly spelled out again and again instead of just foreshadowed here, and we're really only in the early to middle stages of character development, not at the end, which is exactly why she's still behaving a lot like she used to before, even if she's started to improve in some ways.

Of course, now I keep expecting the morning to look like this.

Ah, Mya-nee, even when you're feeling down and afraid of losing Hana, you still truthfully assure her she can make any snacks she wants if she practices. ^_^

And then Hana-chan turns it around and invites you to open a cake shop together as a married couple, because Mya-nee's snacks are still the best.

Love the manager. :D

^And to add to the above, being in love with someone else is not the same as considering you "unfit".

And it's not like Sayaka can't show a more vicious side when she's truly been wronged - see how she showed off Touko to her ex.

I'm getting Tadokoro-san vibes.
Not from the delinquent x class rep thing.
But from the blonde superwoman x black-haired normie thing.

Seeing her destroy that wall (and the apple before that) certainly reminded me of Nikaidou, yeah. :D

Hair. Indeed.

Huh, they didn't include the creepy dude.

Which wasn't too bad, but it also skipped the entire rest of the pool sequence.

This one IS finished, apparently. It got cancelled. And now a new adaptation is being made (with, in my opinion, worse art and weaker writing).

How can it possibly be worse than this one when the art in this one is very much barebones, often lacking any significant detail and backgrounds (which especially started to annoy me after chapter 6 saw fit to mention the table tennis book, but not actually show it), and it's skipping so much of the story. Admittedly, I can't quite judge the writing of the new version yet (although being based on the same LN, writing is technically the same, it just depends on how well it is adapted into manga form) since it's still not added to MAL, though.

Asuka has conquered her dreams. Flawless victory.

Ah, yes, that's our Tomoko, seducing girls left and right. :D

the most stunning reveal of this chapter is that Tadokoro is a top. a twist nobody could have seen happening

Except for those who've also read chapter 20.

^They always are.

I expected the mother, but I didn't expect this.

Seconded.

Same here. Mom was expected, her looks were not. :D

^Eh, we already had our dead sister drama.

I know, I know. Still, even you do admit that bisexuality is an option as well, but there is no way to actually know.

^Not that much of a leap if they're still wondering at that age - and we don't know for sure whether it's jokingly or serious.

I'm trying to be as understanding as possible here and say that if you just read flat text and don't think about it too much... sure, you can actually think that wasn't a joke. Despite them smiling and being married and all.

That still does not give a single, miniscule, tiny shred of evidence towards asexuality. I won't take your interpretation from you, I will just say it's really dumb and be done with it.

I'm not arguing they have to be asexual, just that it's a valid interpretation as well.

As far as I'm considered, it doesn't matter whether they're asexual or not. Just that they never really thought about labeling themselves in a specific way, and having been together for their whole lives, we can't really be sure of their sexuality either, as they never showed any interest in someone else. Lesbians? Bisexual? Something else? We can't know because there is no evidence for any orientation when you've only been interested in just one person. Essentially, the perfect example of Single-Target Sexuality.

Dammit, I will never be able to look at Higero the same way again... Or at Pringles. :D

^Well, it keeps you dry one one end, but wet on the other.

cute

If you don't mind my asking, what is your avatar from?

That one would be from Hana Ni Arashi.

^She's conditioned her harem to be unable to live without her this long.

There can never be enough of these two. ^_^
