Tsundere to violent proportions. Both so obviously obsessed with each other. I'm not even sure if they're making each other jealous on purpose or by accident, but it is hilarious.

Not only did the ending arc suck, but the last chapter was especially bad. All that heaven nonsense was total bullshit. Such a cute beginning too. What a disappointment.

well, confirmation that her high school friend was indeed actually into Mei is like, I guess it's funny. Because like girl how do you fumble the bag so badly that you tell your crush you got a boyfriend who at this point I am starting to suspect doesn't exist and then Mei goes to college and is immediately hit on by FIVE women.

Like I hope you find happiness with someone because it's not going to be with Mei.

Maybe she does have a boyfriend? I found the whole thing confusing. Usually people in these kind of yuri stories will sometimes get a boyfriend to see if the person they like will be jealous, but like, since that happened right at the end of high school from the first chapter flashbacks it seems like that wouldn't be the best strategy. And if she doesn't have a boyfriend, then why was she weird about eating a crepe and dieting?

I'm so confused.

The way she got on top of her to check her temperature, that shit was instinctual. Girl has subconscious game.

Oooh I think this is leading to one of the only pre-manga images we haven't seen yet. If the concert image isn't a confession I think I'll wilt though.

It feels like it's been literal years. Finally, a Yuzu perspective chapter.

This might be the chapter where I can feel the most gay from Shiori. Maybe I'm not remembering previous chapters as well, but the shoulder to shoulder moment felt so incredibly gay. Like that's such a teen of thing of being aware of the physical distance and inadvertent contact with a crush.

With the suggestive ending in the previous chapter and the suggestive beginning of this one, I am surprised Lapis held back enough to not have her way with Natori. I was legit expecting Natori to have a bunch of hickeys all over her at least. Seems like they didn't even kiss.

Cute chapter, but this one moves so slow I would have rather had something more plot or character based. Nothing new happened here.

Wow, everyone really just blurting out every thought they have this chapter. Prez was saying some absolutely wild shit in front of the whole class.

So is the implication that Aya called Kanna or that Mitsuki called Kanna?

Ch 63
If that ending means that Sumika is going to try to get over Kanoko I think I will cheer. But it's ambiguous enough that it's not clear it means anything yet.

Ch 64
Oh fuck yes. Sumika doing what's necessary. God I hope they're not endgame and get back together later because this is the best decision Sumika has made lately. Kanoko still sucks of course and has learned nothing. Big surprise.

I like sadists in fiction a lot of the time. They at least always keep things interesting, even when it becomes messy as hell.

I don't know. It looks like Erika took everything from Aya for the last seven years. Took her roles and took her place at Koto's side.

I wonder if Erika made a wish on Tanabata for Aya to disappear and that led to the current situation. And at the end of a cycle of seven years, the wish expired and Aya came back. I think Erika isn't blameless in all this.

Even if Erika made a wish on Tanabata for Aya to disappear, I would hardly call that blame. No one expects a wish like that to come true. And she's still Koto's friend, so "taking her place at Koto's side" is a really nefarious way to put "being a friend". Unless she knowingly did something to send Aya to the future which doesn't seem likely as she's just as confused as the others, blaming Erika seems really weird.

I have to admit, I am hardcore shipping Kaguhara and Mikamo. I really hope they're the end game.

I kinda hope that being around Kaguhara, Shitori has her own fetishes with Akishita unlocked.

The end of chapter 8 implies it's not going to be Mikamo with that flashforward about her staring into the abyss that is Kaguhara, especially since Mikamo mentions that they're not batting for the same team.

But also good luck in your ship.

Hirose sustained some significant damage, and she's in denial. Big fucking oof for our girl here. Man, the way she just fucking died on page 10; painfully relatable. She will obviously play an important role, but I don't think I've seen the way this sort of "role" she'll have is built before, and I like it. I also think the other friend, I believe her name is Hatori, who I now promote over Hirose to be the perceptive one of the trio, will play an important role. I'm inclined to believe she might have feelings for Hirose.

But more importantly, I'm excited like a little kid before Christmas or something for the movie date. As Serenata's comment above very accurately describes, I've been grinning on and off and giggling like a gremlin. Page 17 was the fucking cutest with the "see you tomorrow" transition. So, so good. I'm loving it. This is definitely one of my most anticipated series right now, and I'm very, very much looking forward to the next chapters and seeing how things shape out.

Hinata and Hatori read as straight for me, although it's early enough that it's possible one of them will have feelings for Hirose for extra "drama".

This was mentioned in another comment section, but I hope they show nude sketching involving people that are not just young pretty girls.

To me the "I don't like girls, I just happen to like [name] because she is [name]" trope is just a big red flag that the writer is approaching the story from the angle of yuri as a romantic fantasy rather than homosexuality as a reality.
It's not that they're necessarily trying to be homophobic, but...

There's no need for a "but".
Indifference towards the gender of your own or someone else's love interest used to be an ideal, an aspiration. It certainly doesn't represent societal reality at large, but I still see it as an ideal. If you're in a monogamous relationship, you're effectively "monosexual" anyway.

That would imply that your sexuality only exists when you're acting upon it. You can still find other people attractive in a healthy, stable, monogamous relationship.

Anyway, this manga has really fallen for me, which is unfortunate. It was getting translated around the same time as "Our Yuri Started With Me Getting Rejected in a Dream", but the difference in execution feels much better in that one, not because anything has happened in that one either, but at least we get both people's perspectives like someone else said. I still have no clue what Yuzu's deal is. And it's weird because this manga started out with Yuzu being confessed to. It would be easy enough for someone, anyone, to start a conversation with Yuzu about what if anything she's feeling. I don't know, I'll keep reading this till the end probably, but I don't look forward to it in the same way anymore.

Good idea, because everyone knows that going friends with benefits when you're in love with someone is the most healthy idea possible

Sometimes you need to get it out of your system (literally in that situation right now myself). It's not necessarily the best idea, but if you're mature about it and communicate well with the other person then it can work out fine.

I thought the implication of Chapter 3 Page 30 is that both Fuyuki and Senpai are in an unrequited love situation, but senpai's is not with Fuyuki but someone else. Them dating without Fuyuki being in love with senpai doesn't seem an issue to me since I don't think senpai is in love with Fuyuki either. At least based on what we've seen.

Considering how little Mitsuki blushes or shows her feelings, I thought the implication was that she wasn't there yet with Aya, But maybe she's just private about it and is aware of what's happening between them, cause that handholding at the end there suggested as much. Which is just lovely.
