Yeah, this manga doesn't do redemption arcs. We solve things in half a chapter here, and that's fine, so we can move on to more important things.

This is just the yuri crowd starving for content. Without the "yuri" tag people wouldn't look at this manga twice.

Really? Because I read a lot of manga, not just limited to yuri, and I don't just read all yuri there is. And while it's certainly not the best manga ever, I could see it mostly work even without being yuri - except for this latest bit, as sitting in someone's lap would simply not seem as innocent for either of them in any other combination. Still, the general idea of two somewhat weird not-quite-delinquents falling for each other and trying to work out their feelings would be a welcome new idea in any case, yuri or not.

i'm wondering if Lily might know more about all this than she's let on?

I doubt it, seeing how she reacted to the initial revelation and stopped doubting her, at least for the most part, only after reading the history book and concluding it would be too much of an effort to fake it.

^That's like saying yuri isn't original because it's in 100% of yuri. Sure, you can find common elements in a lot of stories, but you're entirely ignoring the actually original parts, like the quite unique personalities of the main characters that actually drive the story in rather uncommon directions, even if it happens in the usual schoolgirl yuri framework.

As nice as this was, the one thought that went through my head when the table tennis book was mentioned without ever actually showing it was "Ah, now I see why this version was cancelled...".

And who is that girl in the end, Chikuma?

I assume so, yes.

Well, so much for that bully. She had her chance to repent, only made excuses, and was cut off with a smile. Whether she's truly sorry or not, now it's too late for her to get on Nikaidou's good side again.

As for the chapter itself... Dear god, even more so than the manga managed to show, Adachi is so gay for Shimamura, her denial starts crumbling already before she finishes arguing it to herself... :D

I know, right? XD It's pretty hilarious. As I was reading through it the first time I thought to myself "Okay, Shimamura is a total tsun about her attraction to Adachi, but Adachi has moved so way beyond tsun territory with her denial that she's gonna crack under the pressure and explode into rainbows if she's not careful ".

And almost did at the end.

Not really a big problem, but your file names look as if they'd include only the latest chapter. Might want to label the next one v1c1-4 instead of just v1c4 to avoid confusion.

first you thought this was subtext

then you thought this was yuri

then we'll see that it was post transhumanist sci fi

"I wish I could upload our conciousnesses to a massive supercomputer so that our thoughts and selves could intermingle in the digital spacescape, Kasumi-chan!"

So... this?

^It's really not that much of a gap.

A virgin has been slain.

Oi, that's not just the makeup you "fixed up" there... :D

I do get the feeling it's just as bad in Japan, though. 52-53 already felt like responses to exact this kind of comments, and 56 just came and spelled out in plain text what their relationship was like, and I doubt Yukiko actually reads what we have to say here on Dynasty. May just be me projecting, though.

Please resume “Kasumi can’t imagine life without Sakurako but are they dating?” commentary at your earliest convenience.

Never doubted their relationship, but that line honestly felt more about how Sakurako takes care of most things for her than about their status as a couple.

On the other hand, Sakurako rather nicely defined their relationship once again for those who somehow still didn't understand it after the last few chapters.

Also, Sakurako would clearly feel right at home in another series here. :D

Ah, finally we have more of this. ^_^

Well, can't say this was an unexpected twist, but certainly a welcome one.

^Yes.

I keep seeing this title almost everywhere. Need to look it up eventually.

... What about your avatar, now that I think about it? I've seen it before, but I don't remember if I ever asked about its origin.

You really should know this one... Yagate Kimi ni Naru.

^To be honest, I expected the main competition to be Tadokoro-san, which is just slightly behind this at the moment.

Me: sees this hasn't gotten to the no.1 spot on the "most popular of last week" section of the main page
Me: I don't think the system works

It had the first place NTR-d by Kodama Naoko. Makes sense. ~nods~

^^That gif is clearly from Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai., though...

the new couple came out of nowhere they literally pop out they weren´t properly intoruced or anything and now they´ll probably be the focus of the story

we literally don´t know anything about them so how are supose to care about them
i love hanjuku joshi is one of my favorite mangas of all time but i think making a sequel was probably a mistake

That's like saying the same about Yae and Chitose at the start of the original series... And considering Youko's involvement in that one, we may actually know more about the new couple than we knew about Yae and Chitose at this point in the original manga - and certainly more than we knew about the original's equally much loved secondary couple. We come to care about them more as we learn more, just as we did with the original characters, that's how it goes with any manga. And despite the somewhat weak start, as far I'm considered this series has improved a lot in the latest chapters, truly becoming the sequel the original deserved, especially with Yae finally having no negative feelings about her past and able to move on.

What we do need next is to see more of Youko's thoughts, though. We've seen the others, including Ayumi, but how Youko really sees her situation torn between Ayumi and her boyfriend is still mostly hidden.

Boobs. They ease worries and remind you of what's most important.
