Not giving anything away, but more of a cultural question.

Mei is making a speech to the entire student body, however, I do not understand why she addresses to the student body as "Minnasama". I thought one should call peers as "Minnasan", no? As the student council president and also as a senior, she is the most senior member of the student body, so I do not understand why she would use "sama" to any student, let alone the entire student body. The only persons she technically can use that term "sama" is to Yuzu, ie, oneesama, or Himeko, because Himeko comes from has a much much much more respected and old super rich family, ie, a higher social class.

The plan that Mei was working with Arata for the past couple of chapters are actually quite common. My own school did the same thing. Well, I am not giving away what my school did, but when you read it in this new chapter, it may help you to understand what the cooperation is all about. It is all about survival, as has been implied or stated for the past couple chapters. If a private single sex school without a good endowment and see students left for a more desirable school for whatever reasons, it can go bankrupt. This brings you all the way back to the board meeting when Mei assured the old guys that the school will be ok under her control.

I do notice one shocking thing, but without Mei being drawn more, or rather, drawn a specific part of her body, I cannot tell exactly what is going on. This is because Yuzu is wearing the engagement ring openly in school on her left hand ring finger where everyone can see it. I wonder why. I have a few ideas but I rather not spoil the plot. I wonder if there is truly a rule that students are not allowed to wear rings, which is quite hypocritical because way back in Chapter 1 Harumin told Yuzu that many students were already engaged. So what is the point of hiding? Who would come up with such a minute, pointless rule about wearing rings? My personal guess is Mei made up that rule because she was paranoid about being outted.......which is also pointless since at this point and time it is an open secret that Mei and Yuzu are a couple.

I love this manga to the point of buying the raw every month (I'm at 33 now). It actually getting better and better. But I now begin to think that the yuri tag may not apply. There is neither romantic love nor desire of lust between the three main characters. None of the three also have feelings for other people. Maybe other type of love, I don't know. Miko does what she does out of guilt. Shiori lies all the time to try to stop Hinako committing suicide because her "warrantee" to give Hinako a long life is not working because Hinako sabotages herself, with survivors guilt.

What a mess this manga is.The ending also is a mess (chapter 30). This manga is one of the perfect example for reading backwards from the final chapter back up a few just to have a feel of whether you like it or not. You do not want to read 29 chapters and then the ending of chapter 30 ruins the entire story.

Perfect ending. The elder partner of an age gap couple usually has insecurity, once they go past certain age (say, late 30s). This is exactly how her reaction should be. The bond is slightly different, but actually can be much stronger than regular non-age gap couple. You have to love someone enough to make up the difference in interest and experience of the generation gap .
My best friend has a 30+ year generation gap. They were made for each other.

i hope she approach to be a tomboy, a lesbian tomboy is fine

You will see in the next chapter, that your idea, is half right. I am very happy about the finale. (ok, I read 5 chapters ahead in raw...). They are actually perfect for each other. It is just a matter of figuring out the emotional boundaries.

how to be bosom friends while stay away for a bit when it comes to feelings of romantic love

I wont be surprised the scum became buddies or even marry that dude. As long as Mashiro staying as a mistress for Makino, along with non stop supply of money or credit card, things will work. Money buy you everything. Those three may even becomes a threesome. You cannot ignore that credit card.

SHow has been designing and playing around new characters. I would like to know what his plan is.

^Raw.

I have just finished 21 (finale, raw). OMG, I would have never dreamed that there is anything yuri out there that is more romantic than this, with adult lovers, including the end. OK, no seggs, don't need it when something is that romantic, and the two MCs are so deeply in love and being patience. Kiku as we know spends tremendous amount of time and energy to help Sena, out of love; this time, finally, Sena not just confess, but apologizes for having Kiku to wait for her feeling to be equal. Yuna is not in this chapter, but Yurina is always, wearing the best clothes. I wonder if the artist has studied fashion designs, because the clothes are very pretty and unique through out the manga

Sena's career is back on track, including having a movie made based on her novel
Kiku asked Sena for a spare key to her apartment, as her birthday request, as a joke. We all know that she does not need the key because she is used to breaking in without asking. This time Sena gives Kiku the key, and Asks Kiku to move in, which Kiku accepts
The will have an epilogue in the next issue.

Until we know about the domestic environment of Nanase and Yuni we really cannot make any solid judgement about all three of them. What sort of home Yuni has, and is she truly being loney (no friend, no family).
Lonely is a usual reason for break ups; but unfortunately people also use that reason for cheating.

I wonder if the series was axed. The ending does not make much sense, as if the move to the island has never taken place. Nothing has changed. I also do not know what the mangaka is trying to tell us with this plot.

2 chapters. That is all it takes for our Hanako sensei to draw a complete sexual assault scene, Brava.

I want to see what happens if and when Arata turned out to like Yuzu and started to flirt and asks for dates, will Mei still be in robot mode? Will she be ok? Or jealous? lack of confidence? will she not care because she is 100% into the school?
She may as well tell Arata about she and Yuzu's real relationship. Many people inside the school have already known. Exchanging small personal info and story is always a key to a successful business partnership.

Im now on 20. 21 will be the end, now confirmed. 20 is extremely dialogue heavy, with Yuuna and Sena talking to each other alone for almost 27 pages. Kiku shows up at the end for 3 pages or so .I hope someone can translate this chapter soonish because my Japanese is absolutely not up to par.
Pacing is real good, No rush, No time wasting, I hope 21 will have the same pace so that the ending will be satisfying as opposed to being rushed, or wasting space.

At this point I just want Saburouta to get to the wedding part as fast as possible and be done with it.

not be done with it after the wedding, but rather start a sequel, for example College. With the wedding being in the rear view mirror, the entire future plot can be written freely, even a divorce and cheating! Or 3 volumes of Harumatsu.
